Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 152. Meet New Relatives
Leon's bedroom is on the top floor of this grand European classic house building. On the second floor, it is specifically made for special bedrooms Basuki Murti family members stay. In addition to having 3 children, they have 5 grandchildren. Three grandchildren of Mother Mesya's son, Leon's eldest brother. Two of her children are either Mbak Alya or calls from Viola.
As for the guests staying, they have their own pavilion. The building is on the main house side. The pavilion also has 3 bedrooms. It is also equipped with two outdoor bathrooms and has a multi-functional living room. Can be used to receive guests or a rest room and relax.
Next to Leon's bedroom, there was a nursery or a bedroom for the child. But Asti still could not bear, if the baby had to sleep alone in a room that was large enough.
Finally assisted by two male ART - the man in this house. One crib in the child's room can be moved to Leon's room. So Akbar can sleep safer in that box.
Akbar is getting closer to Leon. Sometimes the boy doesn't want to be away from his father when he's with Leon. Leon is also quite tired after returning from the project. But Leon patiently always complies with Akbar's request to play with him. So that Akbar became very obedient with the message, advice or orders from his father.
Dinner at the Basuki H family. Murti will be held in the main dining room at 19:00. Fortunately Akbar was full of milk earlier, so he only ate a little and did not bother Bu Jum or Asti to feed him.
At the end of that nice dining table, Leon sat down on a chair and led a prayer for them. The man gave many thanks with the presence of his wife, son and Bulek Ratih as part of his family. Moreover, his marriage was also a cure for the recovery of the father.
Two ART women are quite quick to serve all their needs at the dinner table. Earlier, Ms. Ning and Ms. Jum just wanted to eat at the kitchen table, but Ms. Anggun forbade it. Because they are now his guests. Part of the Asti family. Regardless of their rank and rank, a guest must be respected. So now they eat together at one table.
There are a lot of food on the long table. From western foods such as beefsteak, lasagna, to fried chicken with french fried. Until the traditional menu such as chicken roast Taliwang, gado-gado Betawi also rawon Java Timuran complete with soy bean sprouts and boiled salted eggs.
Asti saw Leon quickly finish two slices of medium-sized beefsteak with chunks of french fries... Plus one large spoonful of lasagna is tempting because there is an alloy of ground meat, bechamel sauce and cheese it is cooked in the open that gives off a fragrant smell.
Akbar enjoys fries with a little mayonnaise. Once in a while Leon observed the baby sitting in his stroller. Because the dining chair was too high for Akbar to sit down which would make him fall.
A fairly aged ART, took over Akbar when he saw the drinking water in his bottle running out. The woman brought him water in a plastic cup with a straw.
" Say what, Deck?" Leo's orders are gentle
" Thank you!"
The baby got a soft elution in his head from the ART earlier. " The same."
Bu Jum helped take care of Akbar because his clothes were wet. Until Akbar asked to come with his nanny. Though they had gone to great lengths to move the crib in Leon's room, so that Akbar could sleep with them.
" Dedek don't want to be the same, Mommy?" ask Asti again to convince the baby.
" Snake!" Jerit Akbar's. Forced Leon to take Akbar's bag of clothes in his room upstairs. While Asti persuades Akbar who starts crying to be taken to the pavilion.
Not the heart, Asti let Akbar sleep hugged Bu Jum. That is, if the child is in a new place. Akbar felt unsafe. So the drama he brings up varies. He's gonna find Bu Jum. Because every day Akbar felt safe with him, taking care of all the needs, also giving love and attention.
After being laid in bed, Akbar began to fall asleep. It's 20:00 already. So his sleeping hours were already over an hour. He deserves a little bit fussy.
Leon was on the balcony when Asti entered the room. Of course her husband did not hear when Asti knocked on the door from the outside, and opened the door of the room from the heavy teak. Beyond the roaring sound of the wind - the roar from the mountain range, penetrated into the entire valley.
" Mad, drizzle it. Don't you want to go inside?" Asti calls from the bedroom door, breaking his daydream. Leon went into the room while putting his shirt jacket together.
Of course the man forgot, if the air in this area is cooler in temperature compared to Semarang city which is closer to the beach area.
Especially in the development project, the air temperature is getting hotter. Although the area where Asti lived was also on the plains that are not too low.But almost part of the soil there contains lime.
The calcareous soil is very suitable planted with teak trees. So the plant thrives where - where. In the yard, on the side of the road or in the garden. So that the people there use many teak leaves as food wrappers or for wrapping in traditional tempe making. So the price of banana leaves there is more expensive than teak leaves.
After the rice harvest is complete, the farmers must think right to use the dry rice field to grow crops... Like Lek No who planted peanuts, on the advice of an agricultural extensionist.
" Akbar won't sleep here?" ask Leon.
" Mother Jum's son, he!" asti said a little disappointed.
Usually Akbar is always close to him, even though there is Bu Jum. Especially this, in a place he rarely went. Akbar's discomfort may have come from Asti, since she was pregnant and the baby was born.
" Smart boy, he! Akbar must want us to give him a little sister soon!"
" Your mother, that. Mas! Babies are not just conceived and born. But we need to take care of all her needs, from her daily needs, to her affection, attention to her educational costs..."
" Ready, baby! How many kids do you want? If I wanted one more boy and two girls! Impasse right?"
Leon's silly answer even makes Asti depressed. No matter what her husband's persuasion was. Asti closed his eyes immediately. He was quite tired on the way last afternoon. Even if the position is only as a passenger.
It looks like Asti has a special clock on his body, so he woke up right at 3 am. He rather long fiddled with the faucet water in the bathroom to give him warm water. When he first opened the faucet, the water he would use for ablution was like ice water in the refrigerator. He was slightly tiptoed from the cold.
Leon also woke up. Because the warm body he had been hugging since the whole night was no longer by his side. The man is still not too routine to run the night prayer. Although Asti also knew that Leon had started on time to perform five prayers of fardhu at that time.
Asti only hopes that the man will be able to guide Akbar and his younger siblings who will be born later, in religious science. Something that is needed in human life besides wealth, higher education, also good name. For man can live a simple life because it reflects on religious guidance, and noble character.
Just finished folding her face and tongue, the woman even got the first attack from her husband. He was easily conquered by Leon because of his never-failing seduction and persuasion to conquer the most quiet and obedient woman like his wife.
In the morning, Asti faintly heard Akbar's crying on the doorstep of her room.
Well, Leon's parents' house is still this stranger and makes his son uncomfortable...In front of the door stood Bu Jum with Akbar in his slightly messy carriage.
" Mother's son, why is this?" gently reproof.
Ah, Akbar's mouth that opens and closes indistinctly only makes Asti laugh. "The press has taken a shower, Miss Jum?"
" Already, Ma'am. But he was rolling on his bed Yu Ratih, unable to be persuaded. Ask to find Mom!"
" Leave Akbar here.. Bu Jum, can return to the pavilion. Later let Mas Leon who told you to go there, whatever event we do this afternoon!"
" Excuse me, yes. Ma'am!"
Akbar was still crying in his mother's arms. Before long the baby was asleep, although still occasionally heard the rest of the stuffing. Immediately laid his son, while Asti patted his ass.
" Is Akbar here?" leon asked astonished as he walked out of the bathroom.
" So he ran for me, Mom!"
The baby woke up because Leon kissed her with anxiety. Akbar rolled over while hugging his father. " Want to bob with dad, mm?"
There was only a nod to his little head. Asti left that bedroom, after seeing them completely fall asleep again. Especially this morning the rain came. From the bedroom window, a thin fog covered some of the high areas on the top of the mountain. Cool and cold.
