Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 146. Meaning of a Marriage
The arrival of the two men who used a car similar to the vehicle used by Satrio, the metallic gray Fortuner. Although from the story of Mbak Almira earlier, if the position and rank of her husband is quite high in his unit.
Akbar ran to welcome his father. The boy remained in Leon's arms, as they also drove his guests home to the front porch.
" Down, Deck! Tuh, the tired father just came home from work, " Asti said.
" Is Dad tired?" ask Akbar to know.
There was laughter coming out of Mr. Leon's lips when he heard the question. " Dad wasn't tired... But dad's clothes are dirty, huh! I'll take a shower, okay?"
Akbar's face was a little disappointed with the reason given by Mr. Leon. The boy was about to be dropped off on the floor of the living room.
" What does Adek want?"
" Pawn together!" said Akbar again.
Asti put a glass of warm tea on the table. The man enjoyed the tea with sugar that fit the size with the dose he wanted.
" Yuk, race, yuk! Akbar took a shower, dad took a bath. Later if it is too late, the bath water is cold.... " Advice of Asti
" Same with Mom Jum?" ask the boy again as Asti helps take off her clothes to prepare for a bath.
" Yes, Akbar took a bath with Bu Jum. I took a bath with Mom, huh?" Said Leon flirtatious.
Asti's eyes glanced sharply at her husband. There was no strange word that the man mentioned. But it still makes Asti a bit embarrassed too.
" Look, the baby's confused, right?" Said Leon laughing amusedly, as he entered the master bedroom. Where is Akbar not confused? The baby is taken care of with his nanny to get away from the mother. Uh, this naughty old boy's baby is even sticking like a stamp with his mother Akbar.
Bu Jum immediately brought Akbar into the bathroom next to the musholla room. The woman had already prepared a change of clothes for Akbar. It was only Asti who had to take care of her big baby.
In the bathroom, there was still the sound of water. Asti has placed a t-shirt, shorts and ********** as a change of clothes for her husband. Tumben also heard the heavy voice of Leon singing in the bathroom. So happy he is today, to be reunited with Mbak Almira. Even though the beautiful woman did not come alone to this house. She was with her husband.
A sturdy hand suddenly hugged Asti's hips from behind. The man flicked his wet hair because it was shampooing.
" It's .. I'm wet, Mas. So people like to play!" Asti's angry. She has been bathing and changing clothes for 30 minutes.
" Come on, help dry it! " Pinta The man handed her a damp towel. Asti quickly brought the damp towel to the corner of the bathroom to hang. She pulled one drawer from her dresser and pulled out a hair dryer.
Asti's just looking fast. While Leon lay comfortably in bed, while Asti gently rubbed Leon's hair that had grown a little gondrong to quickly dry with the hairdryer's electronic device. Maybe so comfortable, the man fell asleep.
Asti let it go. There was still quite a bit of time to see the dinner preparations that Madam Ning was doing in the kitchen.
In the living room there is Akbar who sits sweetly on the carpet while watching cartoons on TV. Ms. Jum also helped Ms. Ning prepare dinner.
Azan Magrib's voice sounded from a distance. Well, in this area the location of the mosque is quite far too. Approximately more than 1 km to the east of this three-way intersection.
Since this intersection was made, many houses, rice fields and gardens were exposed to land acquisition from the government due to the project of an exit to this area for the Trans Java toll road. So in the vicinity of the area is already a rather rare settlement of residents.
Another case, a village at the western end of the settlement where Asti lived. The average rice field and the houses of the residents in the village next door get decent compensation. Because they are exposed to a fairly large private housing development project. The project was now Leon's responsibility on his shoulders.
" Deck, we'll wake up, Yuk!"
" Bubby dad?" ask Akbar lugu. The baby stared at the door of the main bedroom that was opened. There Leon lay comfortably, with his body still crosswise in the middle of the bed.
Akbar was very understanding, because Asti always woke him every time he fell asleep before Magrib. Said the Javanese, Ra ilok, or pamali!
The baby went up to the bed. It's not waking up dad that quickly. Even the baby kissed Leon's cheeks and forehead repeatedly full of affection.
Hi, hi. Asti tickled himself to see the behavior of his son. Of course Leon is dreaming of being kissed by angels who come from kahyangan.
Maybe the angels have faces as pretty as Madam Almira.
Soon Leon awakens when a small round body falls on his chest. After seeing her husband awake, Asti continued her activities for ablution and established the Magrib prayer.
Leon immediately snatched Akbar's body. She was shocked as well when the child was already on the bed. With great affection Akbar's body was lifted high, flown like a plane.
In the middle room, there is Joko and two workers of a congregational prayer tent stall. Since Akbar is sick, Leon or the people in this house will be watching Akbar. Once you know, the baby likes to put something in his mouth. Although it was forbidden by his mother.
Akbar had fallen asleep in Asti's arms after Mbak Ning and Bu Jum finished dinner. Joko had eaten first with Mas Danu and Mr. Rob.
It was in the box that Akbar was laid. Asti continued to pat his son's buttocks to continue his sleep after being transferred to this place.
" Yang, are you asleep?" whispered Leon.
The man entered the room at 21:30. Asti has been asleep for a long time. As a wife and housewife, too many activities were done all day. So his body was a bit tired as well.
Leon tightened his embrace. The quiet beauty interacted a lot with Almira this afternoon. Even Almira knows too much about the development project that is being worked on. Until she dragged her husband far away who was on duty in Yogyakarta to take one of the houses in the project he was working on.
Fearfully, Almira told me about their closeness first. Actually there was no intention when Leon invited the young woman. Almira joined the housing exhibition.
The girl was enough to help him to organize a both that showed off his housing development project. The largest housing exhibition in Semarang was held for a full week. But Almira and her team had worked more than a month earlier in a shophouse, in the city of Semarang which was used as a base camp for the purposes of the event.
Unfortunately, this big project, now monitored directly by his brother-in-law in Semarang. They already have a mature concept about the development of this middle-level dwelling. Including selecting all the people involved in the housing development process
At midnight, Asti wakes up. As usual, he prayed at night. Leon woke up. Though Asti was already careful when moving his hands that continued to embrace him very tightly.
" Want to pray too?" whisky Asti. Leon's head nodded.
Before they were married, Leon had been frank to Asti, if he was very shallow in his knowledge of Islam. It rarely carries out its duty to pray as a Muslim.
After moving to the boarding house owned by Mr. RT, Leon began to be intrigued by the habits and life of the community here. Their simple lives coincide with their obedience in religion and worship.
Likewise when Leon saw some of his workers who were in the field. They continue to perform the five prayers at that time in a makeshift and sometimes inadequate place.
The more here, Leon increasingly began to believe in the meaning of Islam embraced by the people in this area. Rich or poor, they continue to practice the teachings of the religion without coercion.
The most obvious example is Mr. Rob. The old man worked whatever on someone else's errand for his mere wages. During the day he rested and worshiped in an abandoned mosque.
Including the people who live in Asti's house... Starting from two women who work as ART, but are treated like brothers. So did the workers at the tent stall, they. They are very compact in worship and work in foraging sustenance.
Asti's existence as a one-child widow in the neighborhood was also respected by the neighbors. The woman was very strong after rising from her slump due to her divorce. Without Asti realizing it, the way he closed himself, in order to maintain his dignity, even made Leon interested.
The man kept trying to find an opportunity to grab the attention of the young widow who looked smart, polite and compassionate.
" Go back to sleep, Mom. I'll wake up at dawn!"
" You don't want to talk about Almira's confiding this afternoon ?"
" Oh, my goodness, my mom! When you want to know too, gossip-style mother-emak like us?" Asti laughed amusedly.
Upset at Asti's laughter, the man grabbed his wife's body and dropped a bit strongly on the bed. Asti's body was shocked. He hit Leon's shoulder rather strongly, out of annoyance.
" Sorry.he's sorry I'm gnarling with you." Leon replied guiltlessly.
" That means, Mas kepo right? Indeed, Mr Pram also did not tell anything about Mbak Almira and their marriage?"
" The man even asked a lot about the housing construction process in detail. I think her husband Almira went there not to buy a house, deh! But become a supervisor of the local development service envoy. he.he!"
Gentle and friendly Leon kissed Asti's cheeks. " Have you known Almira for a long time?"
" It's... Anyway, since this house is completed and will be occupied. We met with Mbak Almira in Mas Adam's office. I happen to need the help of someone who is good at organizing the house. Of course that must be in accordance with the concept of the shape of the house. Ms. Almira's an expert, she's an interior designer."
" Mas Adam was also involved in the creation of the park and some facilities in my project. But for Almira's position there is none! Each one's been arranged by Mr. Randy!"
" Has Madam Almira's husband bought her house? He said he was interested in those houses!"
" It's up to them, anyway! As long as you are not affected by Almira's story of her closeness to me!"
" Already, ah! I'm fucking, Mas! Later can not prepare your needs in the morning, how?"
" Yes, it's been ..I'm off, not working!"
" Ih, you. That's not funny, Mom. Lucuan is also Akbar...."
" Know! Akbar is our funny and silly son, right? It must be his mother who told him to wake me up this afternoon! After this my cheeks and nose were bitten ....".
