"Sorry mother Nina, my mother's face is very similar to my wife's name Asih. She left me and our daughter Sekar since she was a child. I don't know what caused his disappearance. As I recall, my relationship with my mother was fine. I looked for him everywhere, but I didn't find him. Now he has been gone for decades and never returned. I do not know, whether he is still alive or dead," Mr. Hadi immediately told the burden of his life on Ms. Nina.
"I am so sad to hear the story of Mr. Hadi's life journey. Especially now that Mr. Hadi lost his only daughter when he was going to have his wedding. Surely the heart of Mr. Hadi is very broken. I do not know if I was in the position of Mr. Hadi, whether I would be able to undergo or not.
"Let's sir we leave for the village of Bumi Hangus mumpung not too late" said Guntur while taking the keys of the vehicle and into the garage to take his vehicle.
"Pak Hadi I tipped Thunder yes!!, because once the father of Thunder was the richest man in this village. He was killed by the villagers of Bumi Hangus for killing one of the citizens of Bumi Hangus while saving me and Thunder when we were robbed by the citizens of Bumi Hangus. I'm just afraid that there are scorched Earth people who know that he is the descendant of Mr. Langgam, the father of Thunder," said Ms. Nina with a sad face.
"Of course Miss Nina, I will definitely protect Thunder, since the first time I met Thunder I had considered him like my own child, I said first Miss Nina, pray I can meet with my son Sekar" said Mr. Hadi as he stepped towards Guntur who was ready with his metallic vehicle.
"Momuu!!... Thunder the way first," cried Thunder while sitting overcome his vehicle. Pak Hadi and Guntur immediately drove his vehicle towards the road to the village of Bumi Hangus. Half an hour later.
"We have entered the village of Bumi Hangus sir. Do you still remember the characteristics of the house that Sekar left behind," asked Guntur while shouting because his voice competed with the sound of the vehicle.
"House is very simple made of planks near the river stream, he was sitting with a grandmother and also a young man. They wear shabby clothes including Sekar also use shabby clothes," said Mr. Hadi while remembering his dream.
"Means that we should drive to breastfeed the flow of the river," said Guntur. while directing his vehicle to the edge of the river.
About half an hour has been Hadi and Guntur driving. Now they arrived at a wooden-walled stilt house.
"How about we stop at the wooden house, sir, who knows Sekar lives there or if they know the existence of Sekar. Do you bring a picture of Sekar," said Guntur while getting off the vehicle and stepping towards the wooden house. Mr. Hadi followed from behind.
tok...
"Assalamualaikum, is there anyone inside," Thunder went up to the porch of the house and then nodded and said his greetings. A few moments later we heard footsteps approaching the door.
kreeekeeet...
The door opened, and a tall, thin man appeared, wearing a black peci.
"Sorry sir interrupted his time for a moment, do you know this woman, his name is Sekar, "Guntur showed a photo that was just given by Mr. Hadi. The man immediately set his sights on seeing the photo in Thunder's hand.
"So you're that bastard boy, " said the man. He suddenly looked rude and scary. Mr. Hadi also remembered the message of Ms. Nina so that she always took care of Thunder. The man immediately stepped up quickly, he took out a sword that became a display in the guest room of his house. Seeing the danger signal is in plain sight. Mr. Hadi continued to pull the hand of Thunder and ran towards his vehicle.
"We have to get away from here, this guy is very dangerous, " Mr. Hadi continues to pull the hand of Thunder until it gets near his vehicle. He immediately retrieved the contact key that was in the bag of Thunder clothes. Then Mr. Hadi turned on his vehicle.
"Thunder let's go up quickly, don't over time, see the fathers chasing us, later I explain in the street, the important thing is we now save ourselves," said Mr. Hadi nervously. When Guntur had hugged the vehicle, Hadi immediately turned the gas vehicle, drove away from the man's house.
"Actually what was there Sir, Thunder confused not understand what makes us have to go from there," Mr. Hadi immediately told him what Nina's mother mandated him about the past Thunder parents.
"Has mother had prevented me from leaving and even just stopped at the Scorched Earth village, she forbade it, so the story goes.
" Yes Thunder You have to be careful of everyone you just know here. They're afraid they're the family of the bandits your father killed. Pak Hadi and Guntur continued to drive along the river. Now they are in a stage house. A curly-haired mother was sweeping through the yard of her house. Mr. Hadi and Guntur approached the woman. Armed with a photo he asked the whereabouts of Sekar.
"oh this is what Sekar's name is, he lives on the edge of the forest there, so you just follow the flow of this river, On this road later you will find a stilt house size about four times six meters roofed leaf rumbiah. Sekar lives with his grandmother Leni and granddaughter Gading. But according to Leni Sekar's grandmother is her grandson who just came from the city. The road to Grandma Leni's house can only be reached on foot because of the narrow and uphill road conditions, will be very dangerous if they use a motorcycle. Pak Hadi and Guntur also left his motorcycle to the mother who turned out to be Titin's mother.
Eagerly Mr. Hadi continued to walk behind Guntur, down the rocky road along the river. Sometimes they walk uphill and sometimes downhill. Now their clothes had been soaked in sweat because the sun was shining so hot. Namuh not one bit make Mr. Hadi complain, although his age is no longer young to make his breath sometimes stingy because it is not used to walking far especially with road conditions like this. Thunder repeatedly invited him to rest. But Mr. Hadi continued to refuse, he had missed Sekar very much he said.
After a journey that is not easy, they finally arrived at a house with the characteristics as Titin's mother mentioned earlier. With the spirit of Thunder up the terrace of the house and knock on the door of the house. After several times to knock on the door. There came an old grandmother about seventy years old.
" Excuse me Grandma, what grandma is Lani's name? " ask Thunder. Grandma Lani nodded her head. Then Guntur also told him the intention of his arrival to meet Leni's grandmother.
"So this father is Sekar's father, thank goodness Sekar can meet again with his parents. But it just so happened that Sekar was working on our neighbor who was harvesting peanuts. Sekar was looking for and collecting money for the cost of returning to the city. Understand that we are only poor, we cannot help Sekar to provide money for the cost of returning home. Better Mr. Hadi and son Guntur just wait here. Maybe I just got home in the afternoon.
Finally, Hadi and Guntur followed Leni's grandmother's advice to wait for Sekar to come home from the field. While waiting, Lani's grandmother also recounted the beginning of her meeting with Sekar, when she and her grandson found Sekar unconscious, both hands bound and stranded among the stinking garbage, with flies flying around. . No tears Mr. Hadi dripped imagining the condition of his daughter at that time.
