Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 111. Relationship between Dania and Jago
The arrival of Barep's men and Mas Bambang, indeed Joko has been waiting for. Afraid of disturbing the comfort of the buyers in the tent stall, Joko invited his close friend into the house.
Asti and Ms. Ning instead prepared dinner. Look, don't judge people by their outward appearance. The four motorcycle gang children eat politely accompanied by Joko at the dining table. Even they also pray Isya congregated in a small mosque in Asti's house.
During this time, Mas Bambang continued to monitor the security of Asti's house and also shophouse, after hearing the narration from his friend. If his family will leave Umrah. At least Mas Bambang enough to understand the background of Asti's life at that time and the run aground marriage that he called new corn. While Asti and Satrio married no two years, had a baby and then had to divorce.
" How's Jago news?" ask Joko curiously.
That one metal boy is slippery like an eel, hard to find in his tracks. Although the actions of Jago who acted criminally it became the duty of the police. But all this time the existence of Jago has been troubling the community around the square near the district.
" He seems to be heading East, huh! Only Dania seems to be involved in the theft. Because there is a friend who has a store on the side of the big road offered to buy some cigarettes in the form of a boss at a price below the market..."
" Are you sure you're offering it to Dania?" joko asked in disbelief.
" Convinced, Bro! She wears a veil, right? Because Jago's girls aren't hijab-wearing except for Dania!"
" just a second... Dania seems to be living in a contract with the girls in town. Not far from Ninuk's campus." Said Mas Bambang.
Joko's face became blustery. " Fuck that Dania! If the police. What's his parents' shame? Asti was too kind to the boy. Thought about being related to my mother..."
In the room it is not only Joko who is emotional, but Asti and Bu Jum. Bu Jum's face flushed to hear Joko's words, also about Dania.
They were indeed related brothers in the village where the parents of Dania lived. But the young people in his village, many looking for a livelihood in the cities around the region of Central Java to East Java. But most women are more determined to become TKI. They work in Singapore, Malaysia there are also those who work in countries in West Asia.
" Yes, God... Dania's gone the wrong way, Asti! What would be the fate of the Tumirah if the child was arrested by the police and went to prison..."
The groaning made Mas Bambang look at Bu Jum for a long time. " Dania's been hanging out with Jago and his men for a long time, Mom. So he just used his innocence alone to become an accomplice to their group."
" Mas-mas please take care of Ninuk, yes! Joko's sister lives not far from the campus in the city..."
" Yes, Madam Asti! If it's about Dania, it's another matter. If Jago is caught, Dania will be dragged also because it helps the man a lot..." Reply Mas Barep who looks wiser.
Bu Jum's body trembled as he entered Asti's room. In fact, he was only a distant relative to his mother Dania due to a marriage between their two families.
Bu Jum, working for her in Jakarta, shortly after her husband died of illness. She got training as a baby sister at the foundation that channels labor. The woman worked hard in order to send her two sons who were taken care of by her parents in the village. They have now graduated from SMK school and work in Surabaya.
Another case with Tumirah, the name of the girl from her mother Dania. Precisely the woman is still a cousin with Bulek Ratih. Her mother Dania used to be a village flower in the hamlet of Sidodadi. Because of the beauty of the young woman, of course, many men from various circles proposed to her. Therefore, Tumirah instead laughed at Ratih Marfuah who just wanted to be betrothed to Pak Harjo Winangun's nephew. Especially when Tumirah heard that the daily work of Sarno Winangun was only taking care of the rice fields and gardens owned by his mother's half-brother.
Of course, the beautiful Tumirah was willing to accept the proposal of the man named Sungkono. Although the man is not clear on his marital status. As a young widow who has just been divorced and has no children. Tumirah is called Janda Kembang.
Unfortunately, Sungkono began to like to play gambling with friends who had a business with it. The man began to dare to make bets that initially only spent hundreds of thousands of rupiah to the wealth of ludes at the gambling table. He sells his motorbike, his rice field, his garden. Finally, the Tumirah pride house near the market was also sold because her husband's debts were piled up in the hands of loan sharks.
Kono's attitude thus calls for Dania's father unchanged. He even likes to drink. After his business increasingly not faced because of lack of capital. That is what makes the Dania family isolated from neighbors, relatives and relatives. Said the neighbors, already poor do not know themselves!
" I can't bear it, Ma'am! Had he their family had received all that karma for the rest of his life..."
" Mum Jum, what the hell? No, I don't understand!" Asti is confused.
" Yes, Tumirah when she was young and beautiful, used to be very arrogant and proud! Bulek Ratih always underestimated him because it is not as beautiful as him and only match with Pak No who is a farmer. Her mother dumped her first husband after he became ill and became poor. Her current husband only gave her the hardships of life. Want to eat everyday is difficult, if not work in your rice fields Asti. I don't know if that Kono still likes to gamble... Where else is the money ?"
" That's it... Bu Jum's. Bulek just helped the Dania family sincerely. Let the good of our deeds be good, God judge!"
There was a knock on Asti's door. There stood Joko who told him that the motorbike children were coming home. There is actually a secret that can only be conveyed to Joko regarding Jago. Because this business is very risky. They must be on guard against all possibilities.
Asti tells Joko to go back into the room. He saw Madam Ning washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen with the help of Bu Jum. While Ninuk was still hanging out at the tent stall, because many of his college friends were coming there. They chatted while enjoying a dish that Ninuk often promoted on social media. As well as Asti, Ninuk abstained from showing off his family's wealth. Because of the big house, the magnificent shophouse building and tent stalls are always crowded is owned by his two brothers. Not his!
Ninuk who treat his friends with a variety of food they ordered at the shop tent Joko. Although their relationship is not as close as his friendship with Izzah! But Ninuk remained pleased with the attention and kindness of all. They were class mates and one classmate with him. Before long the young girls were saying goodbye and got into Ayla's white car.
Before leaving the shophouse, Ninuk let go of them. The sound of laughter and the jokes of the young girls was quite lively heard. Not mind some visitors at the Tenda and shop house also pay attention to the furore. Until they were still waving happily in the car with the glass open.
" Mast Ninuk's college friend, yes. Mas's? Crazy one! College boy now bring a car! What if students who study at a famous public campus or an expensive private campus? Can take the helicopter! " Excited Mas Danu while whipping eggs inside a large bowl.
" Well, that's it, Mom... College kids today. Facilities of the parents are complete. Are we the village children? Must cost, and willing to eat instant noodles every day to be enough with the money sent from parents.."
Joko's relaxed reply made Mas Danu laugh. He also felt the weight of studying at a tourism academy and chose a hospitality department in Semarang. His cooking talent is honed in the kitchen of the practice in the campus which is neat, modern and complete.
" What about Jago?"
" Some saw him return to his village. Dania turned out to be the one who helped sell the loot, Mas!" whisky Joko.
Joko and Danu have never kept anything secret between them. Especially about the sales results in tent stalls, they will divide fairly in accordance with the initial work agreement. The rest is saved for capital and business development. Unfortunately they had yet to get a suitable location it opened a new branch. At least that effort could open up a little bit of jobs in this area.
