Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 142. A Attention
There's a soft elusan on Asti's cheek. The elusan felt repeated. Until the woman tried to open her eyes that felt heavy. The sensation of his head before going to bed a little dizzy, now it has somewhat subsided.
Until Asti faintly got the look on the face of a handsome man who looked at him full of anxiety. The man helped support Asti's shoulder trying to get out of her bed in the master bedroom.
" Are you okay, Asti?" ask Leon worriedly.
" It's okay, Mommy... Just a little dizzy earlier. So cancel it to the market..." Asti's whisper was trying to neutralize his slightly raucous voice.
Ms. Ning deliberately closed the window curtain of this room, so that Asti could rest for a while. Dania's troubles and the arrival of her parents have given her a headache.
Between the feelings of restraining anger, pity also helplessly filled his heart. The family's suffering was not caused by him. But easily, both parents asked Dania for help from him. Because according to them, Dania has been working in her shop for a long time as her employee.
" So just now Azan Dhuhur. Sister Ning can't build you up... So I had to do it. It's drinking its sweet warm tea!"
" Thank you! " Asti said, after successfully spending half of the glass.
" Want to have lunch with us, or do you want to pray first?"
" I'm sorry, I want to pray first, Mas, please have lunch with your assistant..."
Unsurprisingly Leon still observes Asti's activities that are releasing his hood, holding a prayer mat before entering the bathroom for ablution.
" How, Mas? Is Asti awake?" mama Ning asked a little worried. After seeing the arrival of Mr. Leon from the master bedroom.
" The achievement of times, Mr. Leon... So do not continue to be suspended. The new bride!" Ledek Pak Cakra.
Leon's eyes glared sharply. They all fell silent not daring to comment. Usually, if the Boss is in a "snobbed" model like that, the sign is that he is serious. He could also be very worried about his wife.
" Let's eat! I'll have you eat at Mbah Peyek's rice shop, will you?"
" No, Boss... Just cook Ma'am Ning! Satisfied side dish tempe and sambal was okay! " Pinta Damar is funny.
He was eating rice at the shop in front of the shop. Although the price is the cheapest, women who sell rice is old so less cleanliness.
Where the grandson is many and still small again. So it is very disturbing people - people who are eating at the restaurant.
" Mom!" Call Akbar. After seeing Asti come out of his room. The woman had already replaced her hijab with an instant veil also wearing a comfortable long batik negligee.
" Dedek ate?"
" It's!"
The carrying of Akbar after knowing that Bu Jum has not had lunch. Last Sister Ning cooked vegetables gulai cassava leaves. For this lunch menu, with a side dish of tempeh and tofu bacem, also fried catfish. If sambel and crackers are always on the dining table every day plus a bottle of sweet soy sauce Bango cap.
The cassava leaves are the harvest of Mr. Rob this morning. He took it from the cassava plant he planted there to become a garden fence at the end of the village road there. The father also brought a lot of banana leaf leaves that are quite a lot to this house.
Of course, there will be a lot of use for Asti or Mbak Ning who are good at processing various traditional dishes and foods.
" From Mr Rob, Ms Ning?"
" Yes, Ma! There's also a bunch of king bananas that are quite ripe."
While Mr. Rob himself has enjoyed lunch with Joko's men in the side yard... They enjoyed the young cassava leaf decoction as lalap with while the terraced rhino was given a little lemonade feeling. The side dishes are fried catfish, also tofu and tempe bacem.
"Come, Yang. We go to the doctor, yes! The rest of my work can be handled by Cakra in the field..."
Indeed Asti's body has been sore, because it continues to travel anywhere to take care of his wedding yesterday. Sometimes he has to drive his car. Because carrying a baby like Akbar is safer by using a four-wheeled vehicle. Except going back and forth to the market and selling, Asti prefers riding a motorcycle because the movement is more flexible to overcome congestion.
The old woman felt Asti's stomach with her heart. But he did not dare to speak. Because he came to the wedding. So women only massage Asti's feet and hands are sore. With heart he also scratched Asti's back with coins from old money. Also use lentic oil or coconut oil for the lubricant so as not to hurt.
" Don't take any medicine just yet, yeah. Ma'am! Drink lots of warm water. Nih, Madam Asti has a lot of thoughts, so dizzy. Because the muscles are tense." Said Mbok Muji who was pressing Asti's head with a gentle but steady massage.
" Thank you, Mbok!" asti.
The woman not only gave Mbok Muji a wage in the form of a piece of money a hundred thousand.Also two pieces of wedding souvenirs are still left. Wallets and bags.
The neighbors who were some of the mothers were already quite excited when Mbak Ning and Bu Jum gave each of them one bag of women made from processed leaves of hyacinth .
The bag was given to them after four days of Asti and Leon's wedding. The gift was as a token of gratitude from Asti and Mr. Leon. Because they are busy taking care of the event and also preparing various dishes.
Ninuk and Izzah of course have also chosen first the most funny and unique sling bag. The rest will be given to Haji Anissa's mother and several wives of the leaders in Sendang Mulyo. Those who represent Asti as the family of the bride.
The rest of the afternoon Asti used to rest in her room. Until Azan Magrib reverberated. Right now he needs to exchange opinions with Joko, about Dania and her parents. But his body and mind were out of step.
Dinner, performed Asti at the dinner table. There was only one or two mouthfuls of rice and vegetables he could swallow.
Bu Jum knew, Asti always could not see the suffering of others. But Dania had already made him emotional because of yesterday's actions.
Akbar finally wants to sleep too after waiting for his mother. Bu Jum and Mbak Ning went out to see the crowd in the tent stall. Because that's just entertainment for them, besides watching soap operas on TV at night.
Yesterday there was one of the workers in the project Mr. Leon who was good at electricity. The young man made a more sophisticated lighting lamp in front of the tent stall. So just that place is so bright.
Now the tent stalls are getting crowded with people visiting every day. From a few months ago, Mr. Leon tried to negotiate with the owner of an empty land next to the tent stall. But the asking price for land area that is not up to a hundred meters, is very expensive.Not in accordance with the applicable NJOP.
Joko also still did not dare to spend too much money from his main capital. Especially
Asti has also advised Joko to think of a second plan, which is to open branches only. Because Mas Danu was not a stingy person to teach cooking lessons to other workers. It's just that for a cook, required to practice a lot of cooking recipes and have a strong feeling. Besides being good at improvising.
" Akbar is booby?" ask Leon suddenly.
Asti still likes to be surprised or was-was if Leon approached him without a sound like this. Because she has always been used to being alone, and being an independent woman all this time. It all started when she married Satrio.
The man was not always at home. Because his job is not to know the place and time. But over time Asti got used to it himself. Because the fieldwork that was used as Satrio's excuse at that time, was even used to always be with the affair, Zahra.
" Tomorrow don't go to the market, first! Your face is still pale, Asti! You . also ate just a little, just now!"
The man grabbed Asti's body gently. Asti's body now looked fragile. " Yuk, let's get out of the house, for a second. Maybe we'll get some food and breathe some night air, will you ?
" I want to eat Soto. But the place is a little far away..." Asti suddenly nodded unconsciously.
" May as well, baby!" The man's whisper was warm. " No need to change clothes, yes! Inequality... Wear warm clothes or a jacket!" Said Leon while rubbing Asti's head gently.
The couple said goodbye to Bu Jum and Mbak Ning. Mr. Leon drives his car according to the instructions directed by Asti. Now the car is moving east. Not until the crossroad, near the sub-district market there is a Soto Kuali stall that is also very crowded.
Mr. Leon parked his car on the remaining land on the side of the soto stall. The man carefully held Asti's hand to help her down.
Instantly the arrival of the couple attracted the attention of the people who were inside the stall. First the employees there who already know the figure of Mbak Asti. Women who open a business by selling women's clothing in the market. Then Mr. Sur, the owner of the Soto stall as well as being the cashier. The man smiled broadly to welcome their arrival.
