Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 121. There is New News
Mas Yanto began to be somewhat suspicious when he saw a motorcycle with a type of sport black color passing in front of Asti's house. The bike did not pass today! A few days ago, the bike did the same thing. If anyone is told to observe this house, it should not be as good as that!
Too showy! Because Mas Yanto knew, the economy of the population around Asti house was only the lower middle class. They have a motorbike, a kind of ordinary motorbike, if not a duck, yes turn off. Usually used as a means of transportation and transportation of goods only.
Not for style! Because residents in this village prefer to get money for a bite of rice rather than prioritizing prestige.
After getting a report from Mas Yanto this morning, Joko immediately checked the monitor in Asti's house and shophouse. Sure enough! The black sports bike in a week has been around the Asti house three times. The direction came from the north of the city there, turning on the road in front of Asti's house, walking up to the west end of this village. Soon the bike will turn again. Later in front of Asti's house the motorbike runs more slowly. It is possible to observe the situation and circumstances that exist in Asti's house. Even though the house was fenced solid and tall iron.
Until Joko realized, on top of the motorcycle rider's helmet there is a GoPro-style camera. Is this what is called observing something secretly? At first glance, Joko recorded the motor police number. But the plate refers to the number from the area of Yogyakarta. The more suspicious Joko becomes!
Before long, Asti's cousin had contacted his best friend based in the city, where Asti had lived after marrying Satrio.
" Brother, what's the big news, huh?"
Welcome Mas Barep after connecting from Joko's number. Not wearing it for long, Joko mentioned about the motor he suspected. Soon Joko sent a photo of the driver of the black sports motorbike, also the motorbike with a complete police number. Joko believes this person lives in the town where Si Barep is located.
" Okay, we'll find out who that guy is! Moreover, the motor is not our regional number. We're gonna round up that little bloke!" mas Barep was upset.
He was afraid of being cheated again. Because the Jago thing is not finished. Now a new intruder with a different motive appears.
Joko stared at the hape for a long time. If the man who drives the motorcycle only comes from ordinary people, he will be able to face it directly. But if this guy was Satrio's man? Easy, he will call a member of the family Mbah Sanjaya who has been sultry with the behavior of Satrio who was too jumawa all this time.
While at the house of Bulek Ratih, in the village of Sendang Mulyo. Asti, Lek No and Bulek Ratih are compiling a guest list, an arrangement of events, and banquets that must be provided in the event.
A party as simple as anything, still requires careful preparation. If the Javanese say, the important food served is quite appropriate to entertain the guests. Because, if the guests do not like the dish at a party or celebration will be a bad talk behind the day later.
Moreover, this is a wedding party for Asti and Mr. Leon. For them, not the first marriage. Later Asti who will deliver the invitation verbally to the neighbors who live around his house. Of course will be accompanied by Bu Ani, the wife of Mr. RT Sembodo.
If to invite the villagers of Sendang Mulyo, of course it becomes the duty of Lek No and his wife. Because they only invite neighbors who are known to be quite good. Not the whole village. Too risky as a result.
" This is a list of the names of our neighbors in Sendang Mulyo, Lek! It's up to who goes! Lek No or Bulek Train?" ask Asti.
Both husband and wife looked at. They usually share tasks. To invite the mothers later Bulek Ratih who came from house to house. If Lek No is easier. The man will invite the fathers as they take part in a yasinan event held at the residents' homes in turn every Friday night.
Bulek Ratih has actually been lazy to be kind to some of his neighbors' mothers who like to be two-faced behind him. Both in front of him and his family, but vilifying himself by talking bad, sometimes absurd things. Let the listeners believe and be sure. Even they do it without guilt, as if it can spread all the contents of the kitchen of others is a satisfaction for them.
" Yo, wes. I'm the way! Later accompanied by Mar, if not there Asni can also!"'
"'All your neighbors invited, Yu?" ask Asni again.
Bulek Ratih's face began to pout. " Not everything ... Asti wants a simple event. Do not use decor or peraminan. So the food is served in buffet. Like the town, that is. There her teenage son is less active and only a little!"
After being examined more thoroughly, it turns out they will invite more than a hundred family heads. This means that there are more than two hundred guests who will be present at the event. Because usually invited guests will come to an event by bringing their partners. Not to mention that they also brought children!
Last night, Mr. Leon transferred fifty million into Asti's account. That means that the amount of funds is enough to feed the more than 500 guests who attended the wedding.
They also have to get a decent enough meal. Not fancy, but effective. Even the plan Asti will entertain the guests on buffet. Alias guests will take their own food that has been provided at a large table.
This buffet method has been done by many people who live in cities. Because it does not bother the party organizer. Another when organizing events in the village that still maintain local customs, customs, and culture that is the legacy of their ancestors. All things must be followed in order to be safe and not exposed to reinforcements or misfortunes.
Now, Asti has been looking for entrepreneurs or catering parties who can fulfill his request. In addition he will find people who have a tent rental business and various party needs. Such as chairs, large tables and huts to put extra food or complementary. Mas Danu and the Word were asked to help by Asti, and they also have agreed to it.
Because he did not want to trouble the mothers of his neighbors by preparing food with a portion that is quite large in number. It could be two days and two nights the neighbors stay up late to prepare all kinds of main dishes. As Asti knows, some of his neighbors work as traders, or work in stores, and a variety of businesses that mushroomed in this area. They are not farmers, who can leave their jobs because they have stored some sacks of rice or rice at home.
In fact, Ani's mother proposed that she and the mothers would make various small meals and drinks at the event. As a form of familial bond with Asti and his family.
" Have you done the preparation, Asti?" ask Bulek Ratih.
" Not half of it, Bulek. There are many neighbors who want to help!"
The caterer, has received orders from Asti exactly two weeks before the event. The kitchen from their branch was also not too far from the current Asti house.
Ms. RT simply asked for extras to make huts in addition to a large table to put down the main buffet dishes, with a variety of other foods, in addition to the staple dishes. Parties from the tent rental services and party needs respond to Asti's request.
Some people who live in cities and suburbs in the region, often prepare events such as this buffet. Usually they are immigrants, or people who are very busy with their work, so choose a practical one. Because making a wedding in the village always involves all villagers who are thick with gotong royong culture and help each other.
They are the neighboring mothers of Asti, had seen a show on YouTube about a wedding in a building. Because eating at a party like that does not require a laden, or waiter. Usually this Laden is done by teenagers who are members of cadet coral organizations.
In this village, the teenagers only live a few people. The rest, who are adults looking for work to a big city or to some areas that have factories and cottage industries.
