Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 156. The worst crime
The night trip to return home was done Dimas very carefully. From before departure, Anggun's mother had repeatedly advised Dimas and Leon to bring the vehicle with more care.
No need to speed! Because in the car was also brought prospective grandchildren of the descendants of Basuki H. Murtis. So did the middle-aged woman's message.
By midnight, the tough car had entered the suburban area to the intersection to the village of Sidodadi.
Some of the houses there install headlights only just that. So it looks sullen.
Though many large trees on both sides of the highway that covers the intersection is very crowded. So that the village there the atmosphere is rather dark, quiet is also somewhat remote. Except for the lights in front of the shophouse and in front of the bright Asti house.
From the front of the shophouse ran around the figure of Mas Yanto to open the front gate of the Asti house.
There is a saying "Alhamdulillah" which they say after successfully reaching the front of the house safely. Akbar woke up. The front door of the house, opened by Mbak Ning with a spare key.
The dim atmosphere of the room gives a shiver of their own longing for them. Although in a few days they lived in Leon's nice and luxurious parents' house. Still in this simple house is the most comfortable place for them to live. A house that gives them the meaning of the warmth of a family... It feels calm and serene in the heart.
The bags and luggage had already been transported inside by Mas Yanto diligently... Akbar who had awoken soon replaced the clothes he wore with his cartoon pajamas to immediately go back to sleep. Bulek Ratih even took care of Asti painstakingly. The woman brought warm tea with a slight sugar mixture.
" I didn't take a shower, it's okay. A bull?"
" It's okay, it's clean. Go straight to sleep, change your clothes with a comfortable negligee!"
Leon and Dimas had arranged various by-by on the dining table. Some were placed on top of the refrigerator.
The atmosphere of the house was quiet again. But Joko came down from the second floor. It seems he was indeed deliberately waiting for Leon. Because there was something very important to talk about with the man.
" Mad Leon, let's just talk in the upstairs room. You keep it here. Try not to let Asti know about this!" He said slowly but it sounded clear.
Of course Dimas is quite tired, eager to rest for a moment. While Madam Ning was cooking hot water to make them coffee.
The two men quickly moved up back to the top floor. Leon had changed with a t-shirt that was more comfortable and clean.
" It's about Dania!" Joko Tandas. After they sat on the couch.
" The girl who used to look after Asti's shop, right?" ask Leon again.
" Yes ... Yesterday the authorities had managed to roll up the shop breaking plot. They all the Jago's men can be caught. But baby, the. His jaw was killed by an officer's shot, for trying to fight when he was about to be arrested!"
"Then Now, how ? What
Dania will get a very long sentence?
" Must be it! Dania has been proven to sell half of all goods broken into from the store which is quite large in value. Fear Dania was dragging Asti's name in the matter. Because I installed CCTV cameras in the store ... Once convinced Dania was involved in the robbery!"
"Is there already the help of lawyers from certain institutions for Dania?"
"Not yet! Where do they have money? Even twice old man Dania came here to suppress Asti! It seems that Dania was often babbling is not clear so.
So much to cause differences of opinion. Including misunderstandings received by his parents...."
" Is Dania a drug or illegal pill user? Because if people often use such drugs, so like to talk ngawur..."
" I don't know much about Leon... Since the mother told Asti pregnancy. He'd better be kept away with Dania's problem!"
"'Later I can ask Mas Danu or Kancil to find a young person or girl who wants to be an assistant for Puspita!"
" Aren't you going to help Dania at all, Joko?"
" Males, Mommy... People who do not know themselves like Dania and her parents, if helped by people, not thanks... Even bigger his head. As if what they did was right! Later I ask Mr. Hermawan so that Asti is not related to the problem of Dania..."
Suddenly Leon smiled with satisfaction. " Thank you Joko, because you've been trying hard to keep Asti all this time. May Asti be well..."
The two men remained silent for a long time in the family lounge. Joko saw her cousin's husband was already quite tired.
" Yes, it's already Mas. There rest! Sleep on..."
" Okay, please keep your eyes on Asti and Akbar. He's a very precious treasure to my life right now!"
" Stranquil, Mom! I will always take care of all these families with all my heart."
News of the roll-up of a group of shop breakers in the sub-district market by Jago and his accomplice had immediately become the most viral news in the area. Especially the people who live around polsek, sub-district and the largest market in the area. But Bulek Ratih, Mbak Ning and Bu Jum still try to keep the horrendous news from Asti's hearing.
***
This afternoon in his room, Asti felt that discomfort. Just lying down from the morning after her husband left for work, was not her habit. But his power was drained on the way home last night from Semarang. Going to the bathroom too, he had to walk slowly, because his legs were still limp.
" Mom?" call Akbar.
Suddenly, the boyish baby entered the main room. With the strength of a hand, the boy who was soon 2 years old was resting in order to climb into his rather tall bed. Of course Akbar can come here, because he saw the main room door open.
" Here, booby with Mom!" Pinta Asti patted the pillow next to her. Soon the baby was also lying next to him. Akbar eventually fell asleep as well.
" Asti? See Akbar, right?" Call Bulek Ratih. The woman's mouth was so agape in wonder to see the wanted child had fallen asleep next to her mother.
" Yes, geez..Wanted Bu Jum anywhere. Even his son is asleep here!" The whisper was a little slow. " Then Joko who wants to send Bulek back home. You want to be brought in, what?"
" No need to be Bulek! The breakfast was also delicious!"
The middle-aged woman sat down by Asti's side. " You don't be moody like this. It is God's destiny in your life that you must live. This child is God's care, be thankful! You take good care of your health. Hope your marriage will last this time. Leon is not Satrio! He's a grown man who chose you to be his wife because he loves you so much!"
"Thank you Bulek! How come my body still lemes like this?" Grievous Asti.
"Do you want to check at the clinic on the street there ? Usually you and Akbar match the medicine that the midwife gave you !"
" No, Bulek! I'll try to rest first. Maybe it'll be fresher in the afternoon for my body....."
Finally Bulek Ratih relented. He came out of the master bedroom and closed the door. The women working in this house saw Joko's mother coming from Asti's bedroom, starting to realize that Akbar must be in the room there.
The bag containing the clothes has been tidied up, placed near the table. Deftly, Ms. Ning put in a few boxes by-by the one they bought yesterday in Semarang. But by-by spring rolls it can be warmed in the Microwave after being stored in the refrigerator.
" One, Ning! Pity, if later Asti still wanted to eat these spring rolls again. Please take good care of his nephew, yeah! I hope the pregnancy is okay. Just like when she was pregnant Akbar first. Until they hold back. Anything is not obedient. Because Satrio has changed a lot at that time!"
The two women understood. They had already told the tent shop workers not to talk about Dania's problem in this house. The peace of mind of Asti must be prioritized.
After lunch break and prayer. Leon didn't go back to his office... His intention is he will take Asti to the hospital. This time Akbar was taken. Even though they won't go into the hospital. Enough of the child will be guarded by Bu Jum and can play in the hospital park which is quite spacious and neatly arranged.
