Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 136. The Holy Marriage Bond
" Mad, Leon. Wake up!" Call a gentle Asti.
The woman hesitated to awaken the man who is now her husband in a born and inner way.
The dawn prayer time is almost over. But Asti's soft voice instead of making Leon wake up. Even for him, it felt like a cradle that lulls his momentary sleep. Until Asti's hand shakes Leon's shoulder a little stronger.
" Yes, what's wrong, honey?" leon asked in a raucous voice, typical of people who wake up. Before long he was stunned to see the face of the young man realized this morning.
" Come, get up, take a shower and pray at dawn!" Asti's orders are slow but firm.
Leon was shocked to hear Asti's voice sounding irritated. Because the attempt to build the man almost failed. But Leon forgot, if behind the roll of a blanket that covers his body, there is not a piece of cloth to cover it.
The man moved very quickly and immediately got up from the bed that became the most comfortable place in his life. Leon's hasty movements, even making the blanket slumped and almost showed his entire body of plain stocky.
Asti quickly closed both of his eyes. But the sound of the bathroom door being closed in front of her, like a sign that her husband was already in there.
For a moment he breathed his breath. Relieved... Asti was still trying to calm down her heart rhythm that was so strong, hitting her chest. Quickly he picked up the blanket that was lying on the front floor of the bathroom. His hands immediately tidied up the disheveled sheets. Also the pillows and bolsters that had fallen from his king-size bed.
Asti had not had time to tidy up the other side on his bed, which showed their battle was quite great early this morning. Leon had already been hunted to come, after finishing his super lightning shower. Now, a red and rather large towel wrapped around his waist.
" Which, where's my dress?" call him a bit spoiled.
Present, besides being shocked, Asti's eyes were almost distracted by the presence of this man. Leon stood before him, showing off his open, wet chest and spreading a fresh fragrance smelling of mint and sandalwood.
Without saying anything, Asti immediately opened the door of the closet next to him... The woman took some pieces of Leon's clothes that she had seen neatly on the shelves inside last night. There are***********, t-shirts, cotton trousers and a blue cocoa shirt.
Asti held a prayer mat at the end of the room whose floor was carpeted. After seeing Leon preparing to perform the two obligatory prayers, he began to step aside.
Asti's steps were a bit slow as she left this room, while closing the door of that room with heart . The man smiled with satisfaction after he finished carrying out this duty. Something that was once revealed to his future wife, if she had a deficiency in Islamic science. It is also inadequate to carry out the religious practice that he espoused since he began his teens.
The voices in the kitchen were also crowded with little conversation. Also the sounds on the stove were two burning furnaces with pots and pans on them. There was Bu Jum, Ms. Ning and Asti preparing breakfast together this morning.
Even the presence of Mr. Leon on the bench in the middle room, as if it had become a sight that they would be accustomed to see from today onwards.
" Mr Asti, Mr. Leon wants to be made to drink what, that?" Whisper Mbak Ning tells Asti's next assignment as a wife of the man.
Somewhat awkwardly, Asti stopped her job of cutting vegetables. He walked over to the man. " Well, what to make. Coffee or tea?"
" Coffee, Yang. But don't be too sweet, huh?" Asti's eyes stared at the man's relaxed face as if he wanted to ask something . "Sweet is you!" the husband said with a seductive look. Duh Gusti's!
The whisper full of flirting was immediately reddening both cheeks of Asti. The man saw how much his wife had become blushed with embarrassment, just because of her meager praise. His affection and love grew after Mr. Leon saw Asti's daily life in the kitchen in several visits to this house, before.
Maybe his love should be tested a few months ago. After seeing Asti who tried to be polite but still kept his distance. Especially after Corinne came to this house blindly, without any rain.
His ex-wife seeks and blames Asti. I don't know which demon whispered to Corinne? About the presence of other women, in the previous married life. So he did not accept and hurt, divorced Leon unilaterally!
Their divorce was decided by a judge a month earlier. The trial went very quickly, because Ms. Mesya had prepared a reliable lawyer for her sister's divorce. Leon's first brother has also obtained evidence of Corinne's affair with a young official based in Surabaya.
It seems that the appearance of the Almira name that Corinne heard, after the fall of their divorce pledge... Corinne leaves Jakarta to find a woman who has made Leon turn away. Moreover, Leon also did not grant the treasure gono-gini demanded by his ex-wife. On charges of cheating and adultery, Corinne's guilt became fatal in the eyes of the judge who presided over their trial at the Religious Court.
For Leon, Almira is not Asti! That was Leon's assessment after the head office team he met, working with Almira for a full month. The work was to prepare a both in the building which became the scene of the largest housing exhibition in Central Java.
Mas Pandu included his company in the activity by including various results of housing development projects from their companies. Including the latest project that is also being worked on by Leon. A middle-class housing estate, in the western village of Sidodadi. The village where Asti lives now.
Almira looks more modern and is free and a little stylish with the fashion she wears.
The girl was even more courageous in expressing her opinion. It does not matter if the person he is about is a person who is experienced in his field, and an expert in interior design at the headquarters
Even though in the work team it is almost all dominated by men. All of those men were the best graduates from his college. He has also worked for more than a year at the head office, led by Mas Pandu.
Maybe because Almira used to compete since Elementary to get scholarships, and can continue her education to become the best graduate in her High School. The girl also managed to take higher education at a prestigious campus in Yogyakarta and earned a bachelor's degree.
***
Asti's busyness increased because he had a new obligation, taking care of a husband. Even though there are two people working in this house. They just help her to ease her work as a housewife. Still Asti was a mother to Akbar, and a wife to Leon Narendra Murti.
The food was immediately put on the dining table. On the side yard began to bustle the sounds of various conversations from Joko and the workers in his tent stall.
It seems that they all return to their respective busies. Like flowing water, following its current to reach the estuary.
Such is the life of man, there is already a lifeline governed by the Almighty. It is only we who determine our own steps and destiny according to the path.
The atmosphere of the house grew warmer when Akbar was awake. Asti was the one who saw Akbar's state in his room.
Mr. Leon also moved his activities in the living room. He was busy calling with his assistant and foreman on the project. At the table, there was a pile of reports he had to check.
Akbar has been bathed by Asti. While wearing clothes, Asti invited him to have a conversation. The child had already spent half of the various medicines that Mr. Leon had redeemed yesterday in the pharmacy that was in the hospital.
" Akbar's home first, huh? Same mother... Until Akbar is healthy. We just went to the market, to the house of Mbah No, also nengok Mbah Kakung in Semarang .."
The boy quickly finished his last mouthful of rice. Bu Jum immediately took over Akbar after the woman also finished breakfast.
" Have you finished all Madam Ning?" ask Asti in the kitchen.
The clear vegetable spinach corn has been moved to the bowl. There is also a full fried rice. There is the rest of the meat oseng-oseng cuisine. Warm white rice is available in magic com. Also the omelet is seasoned complete with sliced chives, the red and white bottom is also slightly wheaten.
Ninuk said, such an omelet is usually called omelette. Because Asti often makes such omelets with a mixture of more complete contents. Even with corned beef.
Leon must have been hungry too, when he saw Asti was arranging all the food on the table. The young woman had prepared dishes, spoons and glasses that she had filled with water.
" Feed yourself first, yeah. Mas! I want to persuade Akbar to take medicine!"
Ms. Ning had already called Mas Yanto and Mr. Rob to have breakfast together. There is no luxury there. But the two men had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. They had a little to eat with Mr. Leo on one table. Finally Asti accompanied her husband to eat.
" Later in the afternoon we take Akbar for control to the doctor, huh?"
" No need, Mom! He seems to be fine too - okay, really. The food was also spent..."
" Okay, I'll monitor the bridge project first. I'll try to have lunch at home!" Leon said when he was working.
" I'm also going to the store, huh? Look at the order that Puspita ordered yesterday!" Asti asked permission from her husband.
Leon's permission was easily granted, as he believed Asti would take care of himself and his honor. The woman keeps selling because Leon allows it. Because by selling that he used to be able to support Akbar, and teach the people who work in his home.
The store is an effort given by the late Bude Ayu, so that Asti remains close to him. Afraid of his nephew this went a long way leaving behind his heritage and ancestral lands... Because he thought , the young Asti was more interested in the sparkling life in the big city.
