Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 164. Decompose Problems
Today is almost 14:00. Leon was forced to return to the project. Free also waiting for Asti's return from shopping for supplies for babies. His phone was not picked up after being contacted several times. There is not even a notification from M-banking on the phone... So his wife was shopping for her baby equipment using her own money.
Alone in his office, Leon began to reflect on all the events of the past ten days. It seemed that he had to speak from heart to heart to his wife and be more patient . This is where the role of Almira who is good at fishing in murky water.
In the past, Mas Adam introduced them to the young woman named Almira. At that time they met at Joko's tent stall. In addition to Adam who loves his fiancee, Leon can also judge that Joko there is a sense of interest in the figure of a beautiful girl named Almira.
Alas, Almira is a young girl full of dreams. Of course a young businessman like Joko who opened a tent stall on the side of the road, is not the ideal husband for him in the future. Though Joko is also a scholar who studied at PTS in Semarang with his own business.
" Greetings, I'm Almira!" said the young girl . Almira came with Adam. Leon did not extend his hand... Because the girl had a unique hijab and even cupped her palms on her chest. Signs do not want to touch a man who is not his muhrim. A common sight in this area.
For a moment Leon stared at the way the girl was looking at herself. The pashmina worn to cover her head was turban-style, with ornamental earrings clamped near the ears. Her green tunic dress intersects unsymmetrical. Combined with Palazzo pants from black ash weaving.
" I'm Leon!" said the man while introducing the names of the other two assistants.
At that meal, they saw Akbar being carried by his nanny towards the stall... It turned out that the middle-aged woman was looking for Joko.
" I'm sorry, but Adam I stayed. If you need anything. May I ask the Word for help!" joko said politely.
Before entering the house, Joko had grabbed Akbar who asked to be carried. The baby had been held by his nanny.
Beautiful girl with a modern and very fashionable hijab appearance that fascinates the beetles here. But Leon does appreciate Almira's hard work is very professional in his field.
Their meeting started from Leon's story about Akbar coming out of the front yard with his baby Walker. So did the story of Mas Adam about Asti and Joko who are Omnya neighbors in the village of Sendang Mulyo. Until the story flows Almira who managed to court Asti's house.
Again Almira ignored the story of Mas Adam, about the Asti and Joko families who live well in the village because it has rice fields and extensive gardens.
It is precisely Almira himself who always tells about the figure of his mother Akbar to Leon, at some of their next meetings. Because the baby boy who just learned to walk is what brought them together. Moreover, Asti looks very beautiful and unpretentious with its simplicity.
The cooperation was accidentally thrown by Mr. Cakra. Ordinary, that man rarely spoke freely with the young ladies here. In addition to the customs and courtesy that are upheld by village women. They also severely limit themselves to association with men who are not their muhrim. Including Asti. The beautiful woman remained polite and friendly, but often lowered her face when talking to other men.

Somewhat lazily Leon returned home. The body was already dusty, while supervising the casting of the two-story building there. As a civil engineering engineer, Leon has absorbed a lot of knowledge in various development projects because he previously worked for a large developer company in Jakarta.
Asti, Bulek Ratih and Bu Jum are in the side yard. Asti is enjoying a box of savory Notosuman serabi. Various foods typical of the city of Surakarta was bought. Although he did not crave because the food was very original. There is no sale in other cities, as it will remove its trademark.
Bu Jum took the initiative to prepare sweet tea for his employer. Earlier this morning Bulek Ratih came and proposed the shopping event to comfort the grief of his nephew's heart.
Not much they buy. Because Akbar's baby clothes are still there. Asti always buy baby clothes first with good quality so that maintaining comfort when worn by the baby is also more durable.
Bulek Ratih is even the one who is busy shopping when he sees cute and beautiful baby dresses. The tiny dress was displayed on top of a storefront in one of the stores selling baby supplies. The woman bought two princess dresses in pink and red. Also buy accessories that match the color red and pink, such as bando, shoes and baby socks. All that Bulek Ratih paid from his personal money. He insisted that he would not be replaced with the money, under the pretext of giving a gift to the granddaughter who would be born in two months.
Because during her pregnancy, Asti prefers to give her cash to Bulek Ratih just for kitchen shopping. In the past Asti who often spent Bulek Ratih was basic for purposes in his kitchen except rice. Now A every two weeks, Asti will send you the envelope that Joko brought. The envelope contains money from the store, not taken from spending money from the monthly money given by Leon.
Pita will shop for goods needs of the store ushered Firman and Kancil, by using Asti car. They're going to the city or taking orders at their subscription convection entrepreneur, in the adjoining district.
Shop" Muslimah" is now increasingly selling Muslim clothing for teenagers and young mothers. In fact, the collection increases with a variety of jackets, outers and some good Muslim party dresses at prices that are not too expensive.
" Mad Leon, would you like to try this cake?"
They rarely sit together or talk intimately in the room. More Asti evades. All Leon's business was handed over to Bu Jum. Asti moves more slowly with a bigger stomach.
" Yang, speak! If I have anything wrong, please tell me. " whispered Leon slowly. Slowly Leon sat down at his feet.
Asti just finished praying and teaching. Although he attended public schools from Elementary School to SMK, as much as possible he absorbed the teachings of the religion from Mbah Kung Winangun who entered the boarding school since childhood. He is the only Winangun successor in this village, which is expected to work on rice fields and gardens of his ancestors. Though his initial intention was Mbah Harjo Winangun to become a teacher in the special pesantren of the man, where he studied. If he could continue his studies to the land of Arabia or Egypt.
" Just rest, Mas. I have to work tomorrow!" Elak Asti's.
" Which, is your heart this hard?" pinta Leon again. His voice held the tremors of sadness
" It can, 'cause there's no apology for infidelity!" Answer Asti flat. But he turned his face when he looked at Leon more thoroughly.
" You think I'm having an affair with Almira?" ask Leon in surprise.
" Once, Mas! You want to do whatever is behind my back now. Whatever... Don't think I'm just a dumb girl because I was born in a village and I don't have a college degree! Lazy, if you just always kink, pretend everything is fine. Look at the carcass that is kept tightly will also smell the stench if stored for a long time. We will wait until the baby is born!"
" I mean, what is this. Asti?"
" Don't pretend you don't know, Mom! . Almira has accepted the job offer, right? Welcome to the actor. Please destroy this marriage. We'll deal with Imelda's mother!"
" Asti, what's going on?"
" What do I do to open my phone? Look at Almira's curses. It's only part. He calls me a lot, and I look forward to Mas Leon a lot! Here's a photo of him with Mas!"
Leon swore loudly. It is seen in the photo that there is him and Almira in his office room. But the woman is good at choosing her picture which is just a glimpse alone with her. Though in the room there was also her husband and Pak Cakra and a owner of one house there.
It turned out that Mr. Pram brought one of his cousins who were also interested in buying a house there. But the one-block house with Almira's house was all booked. Except for the other two blocks. Until they negotiate with other homeowners who are interested in homes that are corner of the road because they want to make a business. So they switched places, so that Pak Pram's cousin could meet him.
" Hear Asti! In that room there was not only me and Almira. There is Mr. Cakra, her husband is also two home buyers in unit one. They're negotiating for a change of venue!"
Somewhat impatiently, Leon opened the phone and opened the photos that Mr. Cakra took two days ago to include as evidence of their agreement.
Asti stunned. Right ! still in the same office... Also in the same clothes, they took pictures together. There is even a photo of the two men signing and ratifying the agreement.
" I don't know anymore! I'm going crazy about this... Did Leon or Almira lie? Don't hurt me anymore. I'm surrendering..." Rintih Asti while shouting stifled.
Asti was drowning in his tears. His body stiffened without him noticing. Until Asti was strangled little felt a sting of pain under his stomach. The longer the pain is the more painful it becomes. Leon hugged Asti's body which began to roll unconscious.
The man ran out of the room. He managed to meet Mbak Ning and Bu Jum in the side yard.
"Mbak Ning, Ms. Jum, come with me... Asti's sick!"
The two women followed in the main room.
" Mother Jum, please prepare a change of clothes for Asti as necessary... Later Bu Jum at home, take care of Akbar! Me and Ms. Ning will take Asti to the hospital!"
