The Shack

TG 16: Open Karma Door

His consciousness. Papa Delano snatched the cloth on the table to cover a lump of meat believed to be a cat. The heart feels mixed, as well as the stomach eneg is not able to hold back anymore.

All lunch menus are left out without any leftovers. After feeling better, then take a deep breath while wiping the tears that are reluctant to stop. Bara did the same thing because he could not see the scenery that was truly inhumane.

How not nausea? After seeing a piece of meat that looks dead is sad. The body was burning but chopped as if cutting chicken meat. The fresh red color so clearly soaked the white cloth. Anyone who looks can't stand it and thinks the perpetrator is a vile man.

If viewed more carefully the carcass had a burning skin that according to estimates comes from a hard water flush. Although not studied, he as a doctor poultice will be the characteristics that occur due to exposure to hard water. One question is, where did the carcass come from and who is the perpetrator who recklessly committed the heartless act.

Hard water is a fairly concentrated solution of strong acids. If hard water touches the skin, it will cause severe pain and even burns. Examples of hard water are sulfuric acid used for batteries, hydrochloric acid for cleaning metal surfaces before welding, nitric acid for testing precious metals, and phosphoric acid for making phosphate salts.

"Give the kids a box of chocolates and I'll take care of this, at least don't worry them" said Papa Delano, not wanting to get drawn into his inner shock.

Bara shook his head slowly, then took the phone out of his pocket. Then handed over to his brother. "All this is unnatural but has turned into terror. Look at the message I got."

The phone was received without asking again. Checked for incoming messages that seemed to coincide with the discovery of the carcass in the kitchen. "The door of karma has been opened. Congratulations on your first gift. This photo, why not a stranger?" The eyes look at an image measuring 400x6500 pixels.

The image is zoomed so that it shows a house that turns out to be almost similar to the villa building where they vacation. What does that message mean? What karma should they accept? Not just confused because he did not understand at all.

"Are the kids holding cell phones? We'd better tighten security to keep the family safe." The phone was returned, then thought for a moment what it would do. "Give me some chocolate first, then come back here. Just say you want to make special noodles to accompany the day.''

Whatever decision the brother will make without rejection. Without wasting time he returned to the living room just giving chocolate and conveying the message of the family head. Of course everyone is happy to get a rare menu.

While in the kitchen, Papa Delano just finished putting the carcass into a sack of rice. The man intends to bury the carcass so as not to be a family question. Accompanied by Bara who was asked to prepare food, while he jumped over the window to do his goal.

Thirty minutes have passed. The fragrant aroma of cooking spread out leaving the kitchen room. Where Papa Delano and Bara raised a tray containing a bowl of boiled noodles with plentiful toppings to the living room.

One by one the members get their respective bowls with adjusted topping tastes. Since each member does not all like vegetables or mushrooms, Papa Delano always cooks according to the taste that can be accepted by all family members.

"Mas, are your clothes wet?" Mama Delano noticed the appearance of her husband who was very similar to just playing in the rain, of course she was suspicious.

One last bowl was placed on the table, "Ka Delano was actually a faulty bathroom faucet, Ka. So that's it, don't want to change it first, but don't want us all to wait long." Bara just wants to save her brother so there are no further questions.

"Yes, change it up! I don't want you to get sick, Mom. Later we can eat together." said Mama Delano who was worried, making her husband nod obediently. Then gave the tray to his sister, then ran away from the living room. "The behavior of your brother, are you not taking a rain shower?''

"It's not good to be bad, after all, the bathroom faucet is really broken. Brother knows that Ka Delano likes to work alone. Where to be helped, while he still can." explained Bara reassured his brother-in-law.

The debate ended because they did not want the children to be too bad to think. They enjoy warm boiled noodles with the distinctive aroma of Papa Delano's concoction. Every time you cook noodles, there will be no one who can match because it has a unique processing technique.

The busyness below, is inversely proportional in the room that belongs to Papa Delano. The man quickly changed clothes but was still quietly standing staring at the bathroom mirror. Somehow the events experienced by the family seem deliberately created by someone.

The question is who has the time to do all that? It is impossible for a person to be a prankster and cause widespread anxiety just for pleasure. There are no clues other than threats from company problems, while the departure of their families is only known by the travel agency.

"Come on, remember something as a clue." He hit his head slowly hoping for a miracle to come, though it never came.

After thinking hard enough but not getting an answer. Suddenly we heard footsteps outside the bathroom. He thought it was his wife who rushed to wash her face to look fresher, then opened the door. The gaze of the eyes traced the entire corner of the room that turned out to be empty.

"Darling! Don't joke, yeah." said Papa Delano, closing the bathroom door.
