Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 154. There's Sugar There's Ants
The arrival of Leon's new wife and family at Mr. Basuki H's house. Murti, has been heard by relatives of the extended family of Leon's parents. The news soon spread in their extended family group. Because so far Leon's parents' family is still very respected by their relatives with various interests. Most of them are still trying to be part of that family for personal gain... Because the name of Leon's father and his two sons-in-law, still have an important role in their various businesses.
Some of the relatives hope to take part in the large property company "Abadi Murti" which continues to grow rapidly. Especially under the leadership of Mr. Pandu Abhimanyu Rafif. Son-in-law of the first daughter, Mr. Basuki H. Murtis. Or they can still ride the big name of Mr. Murti, who is quite well known in certain levels of society.
Tomorrow morning, at the home of Leon's parents, came one by one family from the side of Anggun Mother or from the family of Mr. Murti. Though his father Leon still had a lot of rest in his room. After his heart surgery. So he only stayed in his room after his personal doctor's visit this morning
Be the Graceful Mother to accept their arrival with open arms. Although the ARTs increased the hassle, because they had to entertain them also took care of the arrival of the uninvited guests. They also want to receive help from Mbak Ning and Bulek Ratih in the kitchen. While Bu Jum babysit Akbar.
Later, Leon took his wife and child to the house of Mesya's sister. Their families still live in the same housing complex in the elite area. So it's not too far from their parents' house
The man was carrying a matic motorbike belonging to one of the house guards at his parents' residence. Mbak Mesya certainly gladly accepted the presence of Leon, Asti and Akbar.
It turns out that what Bu Jum is telling you is true... Mbak Mesya's house is bigger, more luxurious than Pak Basuki Murti's house.
The magnificent house consists of 3 floors, with a garden on the rooftop on the second floor of the modern building. While in the back garden there is a swimming pool, with lounge chairs around it. Complete with three large umbrellas as shade.
Because this afternoon, it's not as cold as yesterday. Leon invites his 8-year-old niece to swim with Akbar. Suddenly a loud voice sounded there. There was a joyful Akbar scream as well as the voice of the girl shouting to cheer Om and his new cousin.
While Asti and Mbak Mesya were sitting casually on the side of the pool. At the table it has been provided by ART cold drinks, cakes and a box of food that is rarely obtained in the Asti area, pizza.
" That's Hanum Clara Anindita, the youngest! She's in 2nd grade Elementary and she only attends school here. While the two older brothers we input to the boarding school in Magelang area. Understandably today, the association of teenagers has been very worrying for parents. So we thought about giving them religious education early on!"
" Thank God!" whisky Asti.
Ma'am Mesya smiled again.
" Leon deliberately brought you here, for sure out of fear that you were uncomfortable with the arrival of our relatives in the house there... Not all of our relatives were sincerely kind. Moreover, his wives, like to not synchronize between the words in front and behind us!"
Asti nodded in agreement. "'It's that habit, Ma'am. Among the many brothers, there must be some who are jealous of the success of Mbak Mesya's family!"
The woman smiled, "Try we're home close, huh? So we can do business together. Mama's been focusing on Papa ever since she got sick. So some of my efforts were entrusted with the managers only !"
" It's okay, Ma'am. Pay for someone else's energy, it's better! Rather than hiring relatives. Sometimes they can't even be trusted. Sometimes he acts at will because he's still a brother..."
" I'm sorry, Ms. Mesya. What do you know, the name of the little girl who was in the family's relatives who came from Solo. Time at our wedding?"
"Oh, that. Aurora's name is .. her son Widati. The little boy was the grandson of his younger brother Papa who lived in Pekalongan... What's wrong with the kid?"
" He gave Akbar gum, until Akbar was admitted to the hospital, and was admitted a day and night.."
" Why didn't Leon tell you the story? Indeed Widati was too pampering the child, so it was never forbidden anything. Hanum was thrown in the head by Aurora for not borrowing her Barbie doll. My son's forehead is up. Uh, I told her mother, she's just smiling. There was no initiative from her to have her son apologize."
Leon finished his swim. After Akbar's soaked body was brought by Bu Jum to the bathroom to be rinsed and given a change of clothes. While the boy named Hanum was still swimming agilely like a mermaid.
" Which, did you call Bu Jum to come here?"
Leon's question distracts Asti. He and his sister were talking with him.
" What the hell, Mas? Ms. Mesya who called, Ms. Jum. Let's have a chat and relax here..."
" Lon, be polite. This is your brother! Don't wear any more clothes..."
" Get me a towel, Yang!" Call Leon again.
Ms. Mesya laughed because of her sister. Until Asti dares to drive the bully away. After extending a towel into her husband's hand.
"There, Mom! Shower, change the neat clothes. Later if you catch a cold I ask Ms. Ning who kerokin you, want?"
" No, Yang!" Answer Leon
whiny.
Leon immediately went to the bathroom with a shower, which was provided near the pool there. Hanum finally came out of the pool.
Now Akbar has appeared. The cute baby had changed into clean clothes. Her hair is neatly combed. The baby comes with a fragrant sprout of typical telon oil for babies.
The boy ran to Asti's chair and asked for a seat. Akbar was willing to try little by little pizza that Asti bribed into his mouth. He imitates Hanum who also ate pizza ordered by his mother through online courier services.
" Mas Pandu is still overseeing the project near your house! Not many relatives were involved there! The money on the project is huge. If
they just want to enjoy the results. Without having to work hard!"
The words of Mbak Mesya made Asti stunned in disbelief. " Is that right, Ma'am?"
"Really! How many efforts and projects are held by cousin Mama, or sister-in-law Papa many are Gatot, aka failed miserably. Hence, Mas Pandu directly holds the head office in Semarang because many projects in Central Java, which is handled by the company Abadi Murti. Let Alya and her husband stay in Bandung first!"
Quickly, Leon was very earnest in watching every building that stood there. Of course keep the good name of the company and secure the large capital embedded there.
They could not refuse to invite Ms. Mesya to eat together in her house. Moreover, an ART has prepared a special dish that afternoon, namely Soto Kudus. The cuisine comes from the city area located in North Central Java.
Information about Asti's favorite soto will be leaked by Leon, to his brother. After the man began to observe that Asti really likes fruitful food when invited to eat out of the house.
Bu Jum is very interested in various variations of cuisine called soto. Because almost in every area on the island of Java has a cuisine creation like this. But with different spices and soto content mixes.
As big as soto cuisine from Central Java always use bean sprouts for its stuffing.
Also the sauce is clear in a slightly brown color because it is given soy sauce. So it tastes kind of sweet.
Another case of Soto Bandung, which Bu Jum had enjoyed at a banquet at the wedding of his older brother's son, who lived in Cimahi not long ago. The meat soto used radish for stuffing. Sometimes the radish is sliced thinly round, or diced. The addition is freshly boiled soybeans fried.
Asti occasionally cook soto ala Java Timuran which is richer in flavor and seasoning. Usually the soto does not use bean sprouts, but slices of cabbage, vermicelli and chicken meat suwiran.
The sauce is also a deep yellow color from an additional spice called turmeric.
Usually when cooking soto with chicken meat, it fits with clear fruiting. Another case for meat soto, usually using coconut milk to further enhance the taste of the soto blend.
They leave after the meal - the meal is over. Leon's gonna be back tomorrow afternoon. After resting at his parents' house one more night. Asti and the two ARTs began to tidy up their clothes and luggage into suitcases and bags lined up outside the pavilion rooms.
