The storm had gone some troops and the villagers immediately carried out a sweep on the banks of the small river. The small overflowing river made the surroundings submerged in water and become flooded. Immediately they searched for the missing victims, some residents of Undayan hamlet also combed, after it was found that 4 children of Undayan hamlet could not be found when the evacuation of residents was carried out. Two of them were children of Mr. Kastiar, one of the residents in the village of Undayan.


"They wanted to lure the gold pole near the canal door. Aji with Dudung and Jupri, but Asih. He didn't say where to go kang mas how is this?"


"You take it easy first deck, mas will also come looking for them you stay here follow the protocol that you understand!"


"Light budhe if indeed they are fishing near the canal door they will be safe."


"Where do you know they're safe at?"


"At the top of the place there is a safe cave to take shelter kang, me and the hamlet children often fishing there as well. And the cave is guaranteed to be safe because there is a large rock that closes some of the doors of the cave water overflow of small rivers will not be able to enter. And as far as I know Jupri about the cave, yesterday he had asked me questions kang."


"Yes kang I can also jami goa it's safe, and again there is Aji instead. Aji is the smartest and bravest kid in our hamlet. I'm sure Aji can definitely keep all his friends safe."


"Where is goa located?"


"Commander Jayadri and Sultan Lor."


"Sorry for this mess, we'll evacuate as soon as possible."


"Sultan what is this really? Is the northern canal embankment really broken?"


"But if the break (no) maybe the flood has stopped now. What happened to Mang Kasep?"


"The people up there are playing with the north canal door and this is what happens when we are hit by the flood of the north sea."


"What's? I think they are at least smart despite their arrogance ndak (no) kelulungan, e it turns out that the true stupid ndak (no) kelulungan. They opened the canal door to suicide."


"True that's a pity for the people up there, already tired of coming out a lot of money to build a hamlet that is said to be luxurious even in destroying their own."


"Let's know their taste, what with this they can still be arrogant later."


"Already gentlemen, there is something more important for us to take care of at this time. There were some people who were swept away because of this incident. We need to find them immediately, before it's too late."


"Have there been any casualties of the Sultan?"


"I'm sorry I have to tell you the bad news, it's true there have been casualties."


"Why….?"


"8 people."


"May they be accepted by the Creator of the Universe."


"Well if I may know where the cave you were talking about..."


"Asdi Sultan, under the door of the northern canal, more precisely about 300 meters from the door of the canal. The location of the cave is almost parallel to the top of the village of Elite Sultan."


"And again the Sultan of that location is a small river upstream so that all those who are washed away by a small river will boil there. It's possible that if there's still a victim that hasn't been found they could be there."


"Can anyone get us there? We do not know the paths and terrain around the small river. We need a driver."


"May the Commander, I shall be his guide."


"True Commander, Asdi and Muntar who will guide your troops upstream of the small river. I pray for your daughter to be protected by the Creator of the Universe."


"Thank you, Juan, the troops are getting ready to go."


"I'll also join the Commander."


"Is the Sultan sure?"


"Yes I also have to take responsibility for all this. I can't just him waiting while many citizens are yet to be found. Trisno you're coming with me too."


"Sendiko dawuh Sultan Lor."


"Well let's go."


"Please find also my sons Commander."


"Relax Mr. Kastiar I will look for the children of Undayan hamlet as well. That's my job, you don't worry."


"Thank you."


Immediately the group went down around the small river, guided by Asdi and Muntar two young people from Undayan hamlet who had memorized the entire area on the edge of the small river. They are not difficult to find a way to the upstream of the river just overflowing small rivers become obstacles because of flooding around the edges of small rivers. On their way upstream the river something strange happened with the small river water. Instantly the water that inundated the outskirts of the small river receded suddenly, like something was sucking it into the upstream area of the river. Everyone who does the sweep is confused about what happened. Not only does the water inundate the banks of the receding river but some of the river's water discharge also recedes. The Sultan asked to stop for a while he felt something was wrong with the small river water.


"We stop first. We're going up some of those hills now."


"What's Sultan Lor, is there anything that's not (not) right."


"I also do not know the Commander, it's just that I feel something is wrong with the ebb and flow of this small river. Isn't it too strange that in an instant the overflowing river water can recede instantly."


"You're right Sultan, this is not like the norm. Small rivers usually take hours to recede because the estuary of this river borders the wall of the northern canal embankment."


"Where did the water go?"


"It is certainly not easy to reduce the water discharge quickly, no, no matter what is in the upstream of the river. But whatever it was, it was he who sucked up the little river water."


"But if sucked without any place out it will come back to hit the small river Sultan."


"That's why we should go to a higher area first, so when the water comes back we will be safer at the top. We won't be easily washed away by the overflowing water anymore."


"You're right, all headed for higher ground now."


Sure enough, the order was just spoken by the Commander, immediately the sound of water flowing very fast. The small river water that had receded again hit the small river bank area was again hit by the water wave. And after the water wave went in the other direction, the riverbank area was flooded again. Everyone was amazed at what was really happening.


"What's upstream of the Sultan River?"


"I don't know Tris either, maybe it's nature acting."


"You mean Sultan?"


"I mean Commander, we humans will never understand the whole of nature. Nature has their own way of acting, and we humans are just part of the universe. Many things are not understood and unknown to man, because the universe does not belong to man but to the Creator of the Universe. There are many things we do not know in this universe. And whatever is upstream, we don't need to think about it and we find out let it be one of the secrets of the universe. Well, the water's starting to calm down, it's time we continue our journey upstream."


"Good Sultan Lor."


"Sendiko dawuh Sultan Lor."


They rushed up the river without thinking about what they had just seen. They should focus on rescuing victims washed away by the northern sea flood. Sultan Lor said, Not everything in the human universe should know. Sometimes it's better to be a mystery of the universe to protect the universe itself. As now they believe that what just happened is part of the mystery of the universe that they do not need to find out.
