Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 117. The Family Admiration of Mr. Leon.
The sound of vehicles was heard entering the front yard of Asti's house. From behind the glass window in the living room, Bulek Ratih peeked out. It appears that Mas Yanto has pushed the gate and invited in a white Pajero car. The woman knew, it was Mr. Leon's car that brought his family members came from Semarang to get acquainted with Asti. At once accompanied Mr. Leon in an official application event.
It looks like Bulek Ratih is trying to welcome his guests well. The woman stared at the arrival of two beautiful women who descended almost simultaneously after the back door was opened by Mr. Leon with heart.
The man smiled when he saw Bulek Ratih who was already standing in front of the door. " Mama, this is Ratih's mother. Asti's aunt!"
" Mother Ratih, this is my mother, this is my sister Missye!"
" I'm Graceful Murti, Leon's Mama..."
Anggun's mother immediately greeted his iron candidate. Likewise with the woman who is the eldest brother of Mr. Leon. Soon Bulek Ratih brought them into the house.
Of course their presence has been awaited by Asti. Because almost two hours ago, Mr. Leon continued to send news by calling him many times. Even the man asked to be brought by - by what, every mother asked to stop at the rest area or a rather large public SPBU and the existence of public toilet facilities.
Asti soon came out after hearing the arrival of Mr. Leon's family from Semarang. While shaking hands with her future father-in-law, the middle-aged woman hugged Asti's body warmly.
" This is Mama's future daughter-in-law, Leon? You are beautiful and still young... Leon told me a lot about you and Akbar."
Asti was embarrassed. Bu Jum also held Akbar to be introduced to the two women of the Pak Leon family.
" Hey, handsome. What's name?" asked the woman called Misye to say hello to Akbar.
The boy immediately kissed the back of Mr. Leon's hands and Big Brother politely. She mentioned her name with her baby's unclear language.
" His name is Akbar, Mom! " Obviously Ms. Jum is polite.
Akbar hugged Bu Jum. Of course, that is the attitude of Akbar when he met someone he just met. Shy cat.
" Akbar, this is Oma Anggun, while this is Aunt Misye. Because Akbar is now Oma's grandson, huh? Smart kid!"
Ces, his mother said Mr. Leon felt soothing Asti heart that since yesterday has been very anxious . He felt accepted by them. Regardless of his origin. For she is but a young woman of the status of a widow bearing one child.
Though looking at the appearance of the two women at different ages, it can be said to have been seen from the wrapper. Cetar!
The travel clothes they wear look expensive and classy. The beautiful face of Anggun Mother did not fade eaten by the age of 60 years. Moreover, the appearance of Miss Misye, the beautiful woman is like the cover image of a live and real fashion magazine in front of Asti.
The woman was dressed in a simple white blouse, with a matching denim vest with her comfortable jeans. The make-up was perfectly stretched on her smooth face. Plus bags, shoes and accessories are very compatible.
They enjoy warm tea and some traditional cakes that Asti has bought from Mother Princess, the front neighbor of the house. The treat that was brought by Madam Ning.
" Please enjoy, just the cake!" Bulek said Be polite.
" It's been a long time I've missed, Mrs Ratih . Cake - a richly flavored traditional cake ..." Said the woman was busy biting the cake.
They ended up chatting upstairs more relieved and free. Because there are some people who come to this house, to prepare the benches for the evening event.
Tampa realized Asti offered a large room on the second floor for Mother and brother Mr. Leon to rest for a moment.
Of course, Grace did not refuse. His body was tired enough to sit for hours in the car that took them outside the city of Semarang since 09:00 .
Asti's words were immediately denied by Missye quickly. " Asti don't be so condescending! This is good enough. We don't demand three-star hotel-class rooms. This room is comfortable enough, right!
Since then Asti felt bad because he felt the difference between himself and the family members of Mr. Leon emblazoned real.
Precisely Mother Anggun ask permission to stay here. After the show is over. He also wanted to get to know more closely this Asti family who looked polite, simple and very appreciative of others.
Women who eat enough salt acid in that life can and do judge the attitude of Asti and her family.
This two-story house also looks clean, comfortable and warm. In fact, all are arranged in a more modern, simple and minimalist style.
Especially when the woman saw the rooms that were there were neat and clean. Of course, Ms Anggun accepted Asti's offer to stay, rather than stay in a hotel. Because to go to the hotel, they have to walk a long way again by car in the direction of the nearest city.
Before long, Mr. Cakra and Mr. Leon brought various items other than two small suitcases. Asti put them in the largest room with two king size beds and Queen size in it.
Suddenly Mr. Leon was already sitting in front of Asti. Downstairs, people started all the preparations. So that the house became frenzied with the arrival of Mother Ani and several neighboring mothers who arranged dishes at a large table. While the rest of the plastic stools are stacked on the front porch. If it does not fit, guests will be placed in the backyard. Near Joko's tent stall.
" I'm sorry if my mother and sister are bothering you!"
" It's okay!" asti replied embarrassedly.
" I also have many stories about you, Akbar also Pak Sarno's family. Fear not! We are a family that is open to accepting anyone. Not because of what they hold but kindness, respect and mutual respect!"
For a while Mr. Leon and Mr. Cakra returned to his boarding room at the house of Ms. RT. Mothers give many congratulations for the application event later. They prayed that Mr. Leon and Asti would get to the marriage stage. That is part of the prayer they offer. Feel sincere and attentive.
After Magrib, Asti's house began to be visited by many guests. Especially guests from Sendang Mulyo village, namely Pak Haji Anwar Sa'id, with some figures from the village. Mr. RT Sembodo welcomed their arrival with great respect.
While in the room upstairs, Madam Anggun and Missye are ready to go down. They had rested this afternoon, bathed and dressed up. They dress more formally because they really appreciate this event, for the future of his son and youngest brother, Leon!
" Asti looks very young, but simple and strong-minded! Look at her managing life despite being mentally destroyed by her ex-husband..." Whisper Missye to her mother .
" Mama also thought Leon would be devastated after the divorce with his wife. It turns out that the figure of Asti is what makes him quickly move on..." Anggun Mother replied a little amused.
" Mama's all brought in?" ask the eldest child with some parcels given to Asti and her family.
" Please, Cakra tell me to help bring this!"
There was already Cakra and Mr. Leon who were waiting for him in front of the room. Afraid that Mom and her brother dress up for a long time, and run out to look perfect on the show. It takes a lot of time as it is being awaited by the guests.
" Cakra, please bring it all! Leon, this is the jewelry you ordered a month ago."
The mother handed him two jewelry boxes in different sizes. One big box in black velvet wrap . While the small one is a red velvet box. Mr. Cakra carries several bags with the name of a famous store in his logo.
The arrival of the group made Asti somewhat nervous. But he always offered prayers for the good of his life, his family and the people who have always helped him.
They had all gathered in that not-so-large living room. So that the neighbors choose to sit on the terrace or who are still related choose to sit in the family room. Especially Joko, Ninuk, Bu Jum and Ms. Ning.
In the tent, too, very crowded. Because the young people began to gather in the stall for a long night. Beside the tent stalls also the neighbors trade at the small table. Some sell a variety of fried foods, cold drinks, also contemporary snacks such as somay, seblak or chicken sempol.
