The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

disaster warning

In the guest room, Adel laughed considering the appearance of his mother. Madina reminded him that their mother could do so, out of reflex. A mother's instincts, which are dear to her. But Adel still laughed, imagining what their mother had done with their father.

“Embak want, yes?” moda Madina's. Adel did not answer.

“Makanya, ask mas Budi to immediately bedfellow! Let rich mom” continued Madina while laughing.

Hearing the name of the mind called Madina, suddenly Adel felt something strange. But not about their relationship. Adel felt that the awkwardness was something else. But he doesn't know yet, what's awkward.

“Why the hell, mbak? Abis laughing-ketiwi, immediately tense up?” ask Madina. Adel did not answer. His eyes moved, to the left and to the right.

“Mbak, don't be afraid, dong? What the hell is it?” ask Madina again.

*CLUNG*

Adel's Ponnsel reads. Indicates a short message came in. He grabbed that phone. Apparently not just one, there have been several messages that have entered since.

The last message, coming from his friend, from the upper reaches of the grindulu river. A video depicting the grindulu river, has begun to increase its water discharge. His friend gave him a message to be careful. And when he was in the number of cities, he was asked to go home first.

There is another message, from his friend who is upstream of the other river. A video that tells, if the discharge of water in the dam, already high. And in about half a minute, the dam door will be fully opened, to reduce the discharge of water stored in the dam. And it's been over ten minutes.

Adel confirmed the news again and his friend confirmed that the dam door had been opened. Adel thought, even if both times the water discharge was equally high, there was no problem for him. Even if it spills, he is also not affected by it. Because he was home.

“Abram?” mumbled Adel.

But not with a mind. He was behind the confluence of the two rivers. If one of the breech discharge water is high, the other will be restrained. Sometimes to overflow. Especially if both of them were equally tall, it would be a disaster.

“Ya Alloh”seru Adel's.

“Why, mbak?” ask Madina. Adel did not answer.

Adel immediately looked for Budi's number, and immediately called him. He sensed, that this was the answer to his uneasiness from this afternoon. Long enough, his call did not immediately get an answer. While walking here and there, Adel called Budi again.

“Hello, Bram. Again where?” greet Adel without greeting.

“Again at home, Ta. Where else?’ answer me while laughing.

“Bram, Abram hunted pack! That was both times in the flood. Fear ngeluber” pinta Adel.

“Well, it's been from yesterday-yesterday, anyway. Thank God, do not ngeluber” replied Budi kalem.

“Bram, please! Tata's feeling bad, Bram. Tata got a bad feeling”

“Aduh, senengnya beware of prospective wives. So want to spout, deh”

“Bram, please! Tata is no longer joking. Tata said, earlier. From the afternoon of the nervous system, but do not know why. After the news from the Tata meeting, if the times are flooded, the rich system finds a conclusion. I think this, which made Tata agitated from this afternoon, Bram”

“Eem”

It sounds like someone is considering something. According to Budi, if you remember the habits that have often occurred, often, it is just like passing water. Even if it spills, it is only up to two or three steps. Great floods only occur once every twenty years. As scheduled.

But a woman's feelings are sometimes sharper. Think, it never hurts to get ready. Maybe it really happened. So calm the heart of the woman he loved so much.

“Iya, huh. Abram is ready, said Budi, finally.

“Mother same Princess too, yes! what happens does not happen, the important thing is to be ready first” pinta Adel.

“Iya, Ta. Thanks yes, ngingetin” already

“Iya, equally. Hunting ya!”

“Iya. Assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

Madina did not ask, even though she wanted to. To him, the point is clear. As there was no doubt in her heart, about her brother's premonition, she went straight out of the guest room, and headed for the kitchen.

If her brother's premonition really happens, then food is ready to eat, it is very necessary. He took out the food from his storage.

There is instant porridge, instant noodles, bread, milk, hot water thermos. Everything he put in plastic crackle-sized medium, except the hot water flask.

Seeing her sister preparing for logistics, Adel felt she should not miss. He walked straight up the stairs, then went up to his room. Seeing her sister go to her room, Madina also went up. Because she could guess what her brother would do. He also felt, wanting to prepare for other help.

Adel prepared his favorite blanket. No matter, who would wear the blanket, if his premonition really happened. There were two blankets he put in his backpack.

Emergency lights, flashlights, power stores, were personal fixtures, which he also prepared. There is also a mattress as a resting place, if needed. A small stove and a can of burning gas, follow him.

While he was busy arranging the items, Madina came carrying some of her clothes stel. The actual size of the clothes is not much different from his. In Adel's heart he wanted to ask.

But looking at the sanitary napkin she also brought, it seemed Adel could guess, who the clothes were for Madina. Yeah, it's all just backup. Probably needed. Even if it happens, surely the Princess also has brought her own clothing supplies. Both, the process of packing the help so much faster. Not to forget, they coated the backpack with large plastic crackles.

“Mbak, if it really happened, would Adel really go there?” madina asked, when the two of them had fallen on the bed.

“Iya lah, deck. Time enggak?”

“Keep mom, dad, how?” ask Madina again.

Adel turned his head and looked closely at his sister's eyes. He couldn't answer that question. Apparently Madina quite understood her brother's mood. She did not ask any further, as her brother shifted his gaze.

Adel was now staring at the ceiling. His mind floated, thinking about the attitude he would take, if he wanted to go to Budi's place. Whether he'll take the frontal road, or hide.

If both ways he could not do, then what could he do to deliver the help? The various choices he had developed that, without him noticing, had instead made his eyes heavy. His gaze slowly blurred, blurred, blurred, and darkened.

***

After receiving a call from Adel, Budi immediately returned to his room. Without closing the door, he immediately picked up his backpack. He took two clothes stels, a medicine box, a mattress that he used to like to wear to go up the mountain as well he took out. Also some equipment he thought would be needed, if he had to evacuate.

“Where are you going, ngger?”

I was surprised to get that reprimand. So focused on putting the items in the bag, until he did not hear any footsteps entering his room.

“Oh, no. Not anywhere, bu” replied Budi.

“Kok it pack the goods?” ask Mrs Ratih again. He looks worried.

“Oh. This is ma'am, Adel just called. He asked Budi to get ready. He said, the second time in this deck of ours, it's all flooded. He is afraid to spend”, Budi replied.

“Astaghfirulloh” response bu Ratih. He seemed increasingly worried.

“Why, mom?” ask Budi.

“Mbak Adel know from where, ngger?”

“Okay, I forgot it, ma'am. Most also from his fans”

Mrs Ratih did not respond immediately. He seemed to think. It seems he is weighing the truth of what Adel said.

“Mommy also wants to get ready” continued Mrs Ratih, while turning around.

“Which daughter? Tell him, Ngger!” batih ma'am orders while leaving Budi's room.

The princess came out of her room when she entered her room. He asked Budi what was going on.

Budi told her what Adel said, and her mother's orders. The princess immediately returned to her room, and helped prepare her personal equipment. Not until an hour later, the three had finished preparing the equipment to evacuate.

Call someone. A shop owner whose shop is next to the market. He conveyed his meaning. If there really is a flood, he asks for permission to evacuate in the store's headquarters.

And tadungpun together. The store owner invited Budi to use his store terrace to evacuate.

The princess did not want to remain silent. He checks every social media he has. Various information he dug and meticulous. Every friend who is located in the upstream area of the river, he calls. Not to forget he also contacted Madina, his best friend.

Madina told me the origin of the news that her brother had told her. He also shared a video that his brother got. As if being a news amplifier from Madina, every friend she sent a short message, replied with matching news.

Some of the videos they sent also showed how the water discharge in both rivers was very high. Some others, even blatantly warned all residents on the edge of the river to be vigilant.

“Put, ready is also the mother! If the test doesn't stop, we need it. Both yes!” pinta Budi's.

“Why don't we work at home, RW sir, mas?” ask Princess. Be smiling.

“This environment of ours, is lower than the environment in the north as well as in the west. Once the water is ready, it will be difficult for us to get out without tools. Especially if from the front, the water from the river there, follow the luber. The current must be here. And no responsibility, adults too, not necessarily get out of here. Usually, wait for the flow of calm. While when the datengnya and when the red, we can not predict”

“Why not ride in the house of one of the residents there? Poor mom, if you have to be cold on the terrace shop” asked the Princess again. He seemed to think for a moment.

“Ask mom, want to work in whose house! Later Budi mas which mintains permission” pinta Budi.

“Udah, no need”

They both looked back, when they heard his mother's voice.

“Kalo emang have to function, mother prefers ngugsi on the store terrace. I do not want to arise slander” continued bu Ratih.

“Family?” the princess was confused.

“Mother is still beautiful, Putri” replied Budi.

“Ya continues? Would be tempted, then? Kan his children are also already so big, mas Bud” asked the Princess, not yet understood.

“Don't just that, Put. People still have Mr. Aja, until household geger orang”

“Ha?”

“Eh but, first mother is beautiful again anyway, huh? It is only natural that RT sir does not blink. Even if there is a father next to ibu” continued Budi. Mrs Ratih smiled blushingly, hearing the praise from her son.

“When the hell? How does the Princess not know?”

“Ye, you anyway, still in the belly of mom, Put”

“Oh, yes?”

“Iya. The previous flood. Not long after, you were born”

“Oh. Pantes mas Budi knows it. Ever done to?”

“That's it, Put. Wow, real geger at that time. Mana bude Kusno pake pumping, again. Well, if only Budi mas already can fight, mas Budi tabok that mouth”

“Kan udah” sahut bu Ratih.

“It. Ha ha ha ha ha”

“Dih, mas Budi porn”

“Where do I understand? The people just ngasal. Ha ha ha”

“Mother trauma, yes?” princess asked, to her mother.

“Iya, Put. There is no place that makes you feel safe and comfortable, other than our own home. Kalopun later we have to function, not in people's homes! If only denounced because the mother is poor, uneducated, the mother can accept. But if it's about people's households, the mother is not strong, nduk” replied Mrs Ratih.

“Kalo it until it happens again anyway, the eyes of the guy are beautiful. What is the same difference at home? Seumuran, also” comments Princess.

“The name is also heart, Put. Who can nebak” replied Mrs Ratih.

“Dengerin tuh, mas! Don't equipment! If it is the same as Adel, do not need lyrics there lyrics here! Pity if others become suspects” said Putri in an annoyed tone.

“Kok to be the wronged Budi mas?”

“Kesel, Putri”

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha”

Mrs Ratih laughed when she heard her youngest child was upset. He hugged the princess and kissed her. For a moment, her memory drifted to her late husband. In almost every way, her husband is always sprightly. Including in the event of natural disasters.

That night, he had also packed up, before others came to their senses. Even she herself wondered, where could her husband make sure that the flood was coming. Her husband just said that someone told her.

The difference is, if Budi was given a warning by Adel, but her husband, it is not clear who warned her. But clearly, the disaster actually happened.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was a sound of a fart being hit by someone. The rhythm is tight and continuous, making Budi alert. He went straight out of the house, about to ask the one who hit the fist. But not yet reached the patrol post, he saw the road in front of the patrol post turned brownish. And the brown color moved quickly. He's back in the house.

“What's wrong?” ask Ratih ma'am.

“Flood, bu”

“What do we do, mas?” ask Princess.

“We take our motor forward, deck. Same supplies. I brought the supplies, you brought mom, yeah!” reply Budi.

“Must go directly to the store front there, mas?”

“You mean?”

“Aduh, this hour, Adi must still be hanging out. The management is unclear from where. Must be on jahyl deh”

“Emm”

He seemed to think. He considered what his sister said was something worth considering.

“Kalo so, we go to the village hall aja, how?” ask Budi.

“Good idea. But we are on the terrace of the building all the use, mas, not in the pendopo! Too conspicuous”

“Deal” reply Budi.
