Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 132. Among the joys and joys of Asti
The more noon, the more guests who come to Asti's house. Especially the neighbors who came from the village of Sendang Mulyo, Pak Sanjaya's extended family and relatives of Bulek Ratih who lived in a village behind the sub-district market.
Bulek Ratih welcomed his relatives with happiness. Until they were accompanied by Bulek Ratih to try various foods provided.
" Your daughter is that handsome, Yu? " ask a relative.
While the man who was appointed by his relatives was sitting in a corner near the entrance of the side house. Mr. Leon is not alone there Joko and Mr. Harry are accompanying. They chatted very well familiar with the quiet voice.
Before long, Bulek Ratih pulled the hand of Mr. Leon to be introduced to his relatives. The man blushed while being praised for good looks by some mothers. Although m according to Leon is quite old! Understand the villagers, if plain talking and what it is.
" Well, choose a widowed Asti, son? I also have a beautiful and well-educated daughter. Might match the reputation and standing of Nak Leon..."
Leon's face was slightly flushed. " I'm also a widower, Mom! Maybe my soul mate with Asti. Kan, it fits. Widow with widower!"
The middle-aged woman's mouth fell silent. Bulek Ratih let it go, but smiled wryly. Because he knew quite well the eldest son of Mbah Suwiryo, his grandmother's sister.
They and their families feel higher than other relatives, because they live well in the village. So that when talking often to others. Only women who dare not oppose the Lek No and Asti families who bear the name Winangun. Because he knew that the legacy of Winangun will always make the life of Bulek Ratih and his children always live well.
" That's his brother, Ratih's mother?"
"Yes. That's how Leon's son... We have to be smart - just be smart. Understandably still related, if he was not invited. Later even arise other problems," replied Mrs Ratih patiently.
" It's okay, Mom! His mouth and speech are magical... It is old!"
" Asti, where, yes. Ma?" ask Leon heart.
" It looks like she's still accompanying the Boss' mother to choose the food in the hut there!"
From the side tent there were laughter Akbar and the twin sons of Ibu Anggita who ran here and there. Because next to the house of Bu RT there is still the rest of the land that is usually used by teenagers playing badminton.
Bu Jum kept watching them play. There is also Eyang Uti who enjoys a glass of sweet green dawet with ice cubes that taste refreshing.
" Have you been babysitting Akbar for a long time?" ask Eyang Uti.
" Since Asti moved into this house, Mom. Because Madam Asti must often go out of the house to take care of various letters and sell again in the market.... So Akbar has to be at home because he's still a baby!"
" I used to take care of Akbar when he was just a month old. I also just found out, if the young woman who was brought by Mr. Satrio to stay at his house was Zahra, his affair..."
The words of Mbok Bayah made the two women shocked. " So Zahra was that determined to destroy other people's households, to hurt Asti?" Said Eyang Uti while thinking hard.
" Are the difficulties they are experiencing now the result of karma because of his crime, yes?" Said again.
" I tried to help Asti, Mom. But according to Mr. Ustadz, it is better that Mr. Asti relented and came out of the house. Because the stakes are the sanity of the soul and the life of Madam Asti herself ..."
" That Mbok Bayah, someone sent a santet ?"
" Many, Mum... Said Mr. ustadz, who said that there are those who have a long grudge, there is envy. Well, this young one was given an inheritance from his grandmother to bind the man he wanted, no matter if his status was still the husband of people!"
Bu Jum got goosebumps too. Because he saw for himself when Mbok Bayah brought a young ustaz came to Asti's house, at that time it was quite night. The man tried to give confidence to Asti to further strengthen his worship. Because only by surrendering and surrendering, also asking God for help, surely our lives are always given protection. It turned out that the magic dispatches made by people who were jealous and vengeful were so great the power of destruction. Asti's marriage is broken.
Akbar seemed happy to play with both children Ibu Anggita. Mbok Bayah helps Eyang Uti feed the devoutly eating twins with side dishes served at the buffet table.
" Mister Leon has the housing project, right?" ask Eyang Uti again.
" Yes, Mom. At the house of Bu RT, Mr. Leon lives with his assistant Kost. It seems like a lot of homes have been booked, as the project is being worked on every day!"
" What's Far from this place, Mom?"
Guests from Ibu Anggita's entourage have started to return home. Eyang Uti invited the twins to prepare - ready. Funny thing is one of the twins It was abusing Akbar. The baby was taken to a car, parked across from the yard where they were playing.
Of course, Ma Jum laughed. They were just as suitable when playing together. Take care of each other and love each other.
" Adek Akbar was brought home, yes. Ma?" ask the other twins, to Ibu Anggita.
Asti laughed amusedly. Because from Akbar is still a baby, the twins are familiar and participate in drying it.
"Hey, this is a kid, Om! Don't bring, dong, "leon's ledek. While grabbing Akbar and carrying him.
The twins' faces began to be unpleasant because of the snoring. Eyang Uti kept telling him they got in the car. The baby saw the twins many times because of the loss of his playmate. Want to come, but he's very comfortable in Mr. Leon's arms.
" May your marriage last, always given blessing and lasting until grandparents!"
Such was the speech given by the honored guests to the couple. Including Ibu Safitri and his son-in-law. They were escorted by two aides to the husband, with a new-looking commercial car.
Ninuk had handed over the sovenir to the guests. They were also very happy with the gift. Although the event was like a regular Thanksgiving event, Asti arranged it so that guests enjoyed the event and were memorable.
Akbar fell asleep in the arms of Leon. However, it was immediately given to Bu Jum to be put to sleep in one of the rooms upstairs. Akbar was also sleepy, but still forced to play with the twins.
Leon and Asti continued to greet some guests who came and also came home. The neighbors were quite satisfied, as they also saw the guests enjoying all the food served.
Back Mr. Leon gathered with his family in the living room. But there are mothers who are allowed to hitch a ride to put their children to sleep for a while upstairs. Joko has rolled out a carpet and mattress on the top floor also equipped with pillows and fans that continue to light up.
Asti's room is locked by Bulek Ratih and the key is held by him, all at the suggestion of Mbak Mesya. The empty room next to it was filled with piles of gifts and a large box filled with donated envelopes.
Anggun's mother and her family returned to Bu Ani's pavilion to rest. Some food huts began to be tidied up by catering workers. While the main food is added again containers - containers.
Lek No asked the neighbors who were there to eat again as a closing event. From parents to children, they begin to take plates and spoons. All the dishes ordered by Asti are abundant. There were even extra food left in the plastic crib that was brought into the house. That's the host's ration.
The mood that afternoon was more crowded. There were some young people carrying guitars and loudspeakers. They sing with guitar. Some boys are dancing. Mr. RT laughed happily. All the fatigue after this event was gone.
Asti prayed Ashar and changed his clothes. Although not a typical wedding dress, but capable and long batik cloth, plus his face that uses makeup all day, is very uncomfortable. Her body is hot and sultry terrace.
Unknowingly his eyes saw a large black suitcase. The suitcase looks nice and expensive. Maybe this is Mr. Leon's suitcase. Asti had not had time to tidy up his room, a knocking sound was heard on the door of his room.
" Yang, I took a nap, huh? Last night invited Pak Cakra to a discussion. I can't even sleep until morning!" said Mr. Leon who already looked exhausted.
Before long Mr. Leon began to lay his body there. He had taken a change from the black suitcase. Asti carefully walked out of the room and closed the door.
The caterer had already packed some items from the big table. Piles of plates, spoons and cups have been transported to a crib parked near the tent stall.
The guests have also begun to return home. Joko helps Izzah and Ninuk to carry the two remaining souvenir boxes into the house.
At the dining table are containers filled with food. Bu Jum and Mbak Ning who put the food on the advice of Mbak Dewi Rini. The catering manager. The woman saluted Asti and said goodbye after all the items had gone into the second crib car.
" Thank you, Miss Goddess. Greetings to Mr. Tanto and his wife..." Asti Saying. The husband and wife are the owners of the catering business.
Lek No oversaw the cleanup that Mr. Rob and two other young people did. It looks like Asti's wedding anniversary event became a joint event. The neighbors took to pieces tidying up the goods.
Some mothers - mothers are very happy when receiving plastic packages containing rice, vegetables, side dishes and cakes. Bulek Ratih and his two assistants, who quickly wrapped up the food.
The cakes were stacked in sealed boxes for workers who would pick up party equipment and take down tents.
Asti assisted by Bu RT and other mothers began to put the food that is still available in the stereo foam container. The food will be distributed to those who are on the roadside... From the taxi driver, the salesman who pushed the cart until some rickshawman who went up in a big tree across from the shophouse.
