Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 145. Speaking from Heart to Heart
It seems that Mbak Almira looks quite happy to be married to this husband who is a soldier. Because the man called Mas Pram, looked more mature and patient enough to be a snack on Almira.
They enjoyed the lunch very well. Although with a very simple food dish, the usual cuisine cooked by villagers.
Even now, the two assistants of Mr. Leon have also begun to get used to Asti's house by serving themselves. They also took a cold drink in the refrigerator in the middle room. Sometimes also in the refrigerator has been provided pieces of various fruits in the container. They just take it. Asti prepared it as dessert. Deliberately stored in the refrigerator, to keep the fruit cool and fresh.
The air is increasingly hot and stinging around the location of the housing development project. For the workers in the field, Mr. Leon has built a bedeng house made of semi-permanent buildings. It is located at the northern end of the project site. The bed consists of two elongated buildings with many rooms.
It was there that the workers whose wages were paid that week rested, ate and slept. Deliberately the bedeng was made a distance away from the residential area in the village of Sidodadi, as a measure of anticipation.
As for the example house, several pieces have been built. Each is tailored to the type of house and the area of the house. Generally houses with less land size are made two models. There are one floor and two floors in a minimalist style.
While the house with a larger land area, the location will be made closer to the main entrance gate of the housing complex. Of course, with a different model of the house. Each of the blocks is named after several parks around the world.
Some of the example houses have been built and arranged neatly complete with furniture and other trinkets, like a house that is ready to be inhabited. All are designed to attract buyers. It is also expected to be an example of room arrangement that is good at utilizing the rest of the space with style and flexibility for the residents of the house later.
Usually there will be a special introduction as well as a guide from the marketing office that will bring visitors and enthusiasts to come there. The marketing office public relations also provide their own vehicles when visiting the construction site directly. The arrival of visitors who will conduct a survey of the location is common on Saturdays and Sundays.
There is a minimalist two-story house that Leon used as his office. The house is the closest distance from the main road in the village of Sidodadi. That's the road that passes in front of Asti's house.
That's where Leon and his men work. Because the office has been operating several months after the housing project was marketed.
The office is equipped with all the necessary facilities and infrastructure. There has even been prepared a spacious parking lot and a comfortable waiting room in the inner lobby of the office. While Leon is based upstairs with all-modern office supplies, from the power grid, computers and WiFi.
It seems Mbak Almira still wants to talk more with Asti. Alias she's willing to confide. They used to be very close and familiar. Because Mbak Almira challenged to arrange a new home owned by Asti with a more modern style. A style that is rarely used houses in this Java area. Except the house in the city.
That is what Asti wanted. The house he owns will be able to accommodate all his relatives visiting. While on the top floor there are many rooms, bathrooms and lounge. Features of the house today. But Asti wants a simpler, simpler and more comfortable layout.
Be Mbak Almira reasoned to her husband, still want to play with Akbar, because kangen. Therefore, Almira will accept any decision that will be taken by her husband.
Mr. Leon finally brought Mbak Almira's husband back to the project. The couple came to see him at the office. Though Leon has opened his own marketing office to market this house in a shophouse near the Sekarwangi SPBU.
" I know, Mas Leon has loved Asti for a long time!" almira said to the point.
They were sitting in the park . After tasting some of the food and snacks market that is often purchased by Asti . Akbar was playing there, guarded by Bu Jum vigilantly. They all looked very relaxed, as the garden was shaded in the presence of large trees in the side garden.
" Ah, time? Leon proposed to me at the end of January. Probably heard Madam Almira was getting married... So many bachelors are disappointed and heartbroken!" Ledek Asti tickled.
" I've known for a long time, really! When invited to work with Mr. Leon to arrange his both at a housing exhibition event in Semarang. What Mr. Leon asked me, yes about Ms. Asti only."
I heard the breath of Almira's heavy mother ." That was our initial plan, Asti! But Mas Adam had to obey the provisions in his extended family... He could not marry before his first sister... Abstinence of the younger brother overstepping the older sister. While Mbak Ariani is still a career as a lecturer at a campus. Even she is continuing her education and should focus on her dissertation this year!"
"'While my father was old and often sickly. So he was afraid that he would not be old enough to be my guardian in a future marriage... I am the only daughter, among her four children ...Try Asti imagine... How guilty would I be if I could not fulfill his wish? Might be a regret for me for a lifetime."
The woman's voice is getting louder. " It seems that Mas Adam is also starting to worry, because you can not get married within a year. So we broke up well - well. I was finally forced to accept a marriage from my family. Name Mas Pram suggested by, brother father. The man was also looking for a wife for a new position in this area. His family still has a brother relationship with his father...Moreover, his parents have long lived and lived in Yogyakarta. Not until 4 months, both families have prepared the wedding. That's how... We are finally married! Hopefully, Mas Pram is indeed a mate whom God has appointed for me!"
Unknowingly, Asti embraced Almira , Because Asti from the past was so amazed by this young woman who was not only beautiful, but independent and intelligent as well!
Mbak Almira has flapped his wings very high, when he managed to finish his education until college. He was born and raised in the village as well. He even earned a college degree. You will even have a good job that suits your diploma and skills as an interior designer.
Unfortunately, the young woman could not resist her parents' request to accept the match. Moreover, Madam Almira did not have the courage to violate the customs and traditions in her family.
" When we met first, I saw that Madam Asti harbored a sense of disappointment and heartache due to the affair of the husband...
At the moment, Asti looks calmer. There was even a happy hue after marrying Mr. Leon..."
Madam Almira took a deep breath. " I was actually a little horrified as well when I was betrothed to a soldier! Fear of divorce like Madam Asti, because she was married to a state servant too! For they have the duty of the state which must come first among other interests!'
The beautiful woman looked at Asti, then continued her deepest outpouring of heart. " As much as possible, I will stay with Mas Pram. Moreover, we have not been too familiar with the character and character of each. So if later living far apart, Afraid he easily turned to other women. Especially if I am more interested in my career! Could be more ambiguous like that. Therefore, I work as a freelance only in a gallery in Yogyakarta. Even the offer to work in Jakarta I refused."
There was a gentle smile on Asti's lips. " Sir Almira, we humans have our own way of life. Nothing is the same! It was outlined by God. Just pray that Mbak Almira does not experience being cheated and divorced by a husband like me... Live everything with sincerity for the will of God that happens. God willing our lives are blessed, calm and prosperous.."
The young woman's eyes glazed over. " Tuh, right. Hearing Ma'am Asti's words, I became calm so..."
" I pray that the marriage of Mbak Almira will last. You guys look very fit and harmonious... Maybe that's the best mate of Madam Almira who is already very devoted to parents!"
"'I hope we'll be neighbors next year, yeah. Ma'am! Mas Pram will be stationed in this area, late November. In the meantime we're staying at his mother's house, in Yogyakarta."
Almost two hours they chat with Mbak Ning and Bu Jum accompanied by sweet iced tea and fruit pudding made by Asti. Until Akbar sat on his mother's lap.
" Kok, Akbar is more handsome, huh?" ledek Almira while touching both cheeks padlocked Akbar.
" It's just been cured of pain, Ma'am!" Report Ms. Jum." Yesterday both of his cheeks were still a little haggard and thin!"
" That's what, his name is a little boy. Sick for a while, healed for a while. Yesterday's deflated this cheek. Now it's puffed up again. Thank you, Mrs Jum, yes. The one who was very painstaking in taking care of Akbar!"
Asti took the nimang his son. Which is also being teased by Mbak Almira. They are waiting for the husbands to return to this house. Surprisingly, Leon and Mr. Pram even became very familiar... They just met and met this afternoon.
