Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 174. An Unpleasant Surprise
The office where Leon worked looked deserted. Maybe the administrative workers who used to work downstairs were out, looking for lunch. Asti's steps became more sluggish as his feet climbed the stairs leading to the second floor.
Basically, Asti's heart will be easy to forgive if someone does wrong to him and admits his mistakes. Not with Almira! Even hearing that name, Asti so a sense of hatred!
Leon is still on the lobby floor with Akbar. He was busy calling someone. After arriving at the meeting room whose door was closed, Asti let out a long sigh.
"Assalamualaikum! " Greetings Asti while pushing that door.The atmosphere inside was somewhat quiet as well.
" Happy birthday! Tracks!"
Excite the people who were inside there clapping and shouting loudly. Followed by a light that was turned on, so that the room became bright.
Asti was surprised. Until he was stunned and could not say anything. He really did get a surprise. There, all his family members were present... From Lek No, Bulek Ratih also Joko and Ninuk. Not to mention the administrative employees, Leon's assistant beside the OB attended. Plus Bu Jum who was holding Qani and followed by Akbar, Mbak Putri and Leon who were behind him.
Until someone pushes something behind it... Ms. Ani was carrying a big birthday cake with a candle lit at number 25.
All outside of Asti's estimates. They all sang happy birthday.
" Mom, Akbar wants the cake!" yerit Akbar in Joko's arms. Ninuk continued to act with his live broadcast of his beloved hape.
Until Leon peeps both cheeks. " Happy birthday my dear and beloved wife, the gift follows!"
Asti cried when relatives took turns hugging and congratulating... From Leon's office space, Ninuk helped Bu Ani take out their ordered rice boxes for this year's anniversary event as well as for lunch together.
Leon takes Qani with him to celebrate his mother's birthday.
" Say Ma'am Asti, we open Mas Leon's gift below! " whispered Ninuk. While the people there began to enjoy the dishes from the crib rice. Some employees asked permission to bring the box rice to their workspace below. Soon Bulek Ratih also gave them one bottle of cold mineral water.
Asti brought Ninuk and Leon downstairs... Joko immediately held Akbar, so that the child was not left behind by the group that first walked in front of him. They were very enthusiastic about the gift that Leon would give to his wife.
Until below Asti again amazed by the presence of an MPV type car. A new maroon-red Kijang Inova car with a large white ribbon on its hood.
" This is the prize! " Excite Leon pleased.
Upset Asti looked at her husband with a new look. " Not funny, Mom! Want to give a surprise birthday, why use the reason Almira anyway!"
" It's okay, honey! As a learning too, do not let our household fall apart because of the presence of a third person like Almira. Sly and petty woman!"
Bulek Ratih, Bu Jum and Lek No who just came down from the second floor were moved because the birthday gift was very surprising to them. A new car for Asti.
Qani turns into the arms of Bulek Ratih. Because Leon will open the door to the new car. Joko starts to take Akbar down from his carrier.
" So let's all get in, let's try a new car!" Take Leon to the audience in front of the lobby of his office.
" Don't dare to take it!" Asti said hesitantly. When he got the keys to the car.
" Yes, later you ask Joko or Dimas to launch it! For a while, let Honda jazz was used by Joko for his daily needs... While Avanza Joko let dipake and brought Lek No back to the village."
The arrangement from Leon surprised everyone who was already in the car.
" It's actually better suited, the Honda Jazz was for Ninuk. But later! If Ninuk's grades are still good, every semester, fine! Joko later you can choose a new car that you like, but help me in the office, huh?"
" Take that, Mas!"
They toured around the settlement in stage one which was almost entirely inhabited by its owner.
There is a team of gardeners who will help create a garden in front of the house - the new occupant's house . Because many grafted fruit trees are planted beside the sidewalk of the road and the two-lane road divider for greening.
Lek No is very happy to be able to bring home Joko's car. With that vehicle, he can bring his wife and some of his neighbors to attend various events in the village... Starting from the invitation to celebration, general studies in one region and other village community social activities. Because so far Lek No only rely on his motorcycle when attending a party invitation from his relatives. Except traveling very far, just borrowed a car Joko or Asti.
Joko started working with Leon... Because some of his duties were to do administration, letters and reports. Because Joko controls administration and computers. Usually, there are some other letters that will be taken home by Lek No's eldest son. He can work at the side yard table, while keeping an eye on the preparations of the workers to start trading at the tent stall.
The opening of the new mini market will be held on Sunday. A few days earlier Leon participated in monitoring all the contents of the mini market and all its preparations. Moreover, Ninuk really likes the arrangement of goods for gift shops on the top floor. The shop upstairs will be Ninuk's responsibility, as he takes his college days off on Saturdays and Sundays.
The opening of the mini market is running crowded and lively... Children who come in are given gifts of balloons and candy. If there are visitors who shop by reaching a certain nominal will be rewarded with glasses, plates and food containers that are interesting... The mini market is getting crowded in the afternoon. Along with the opening of the tent stall.
Two days later, Asti got a report of Berkah MQ mini Mart revenue whose sales turnover rose sharply... The male employees were eager to bring various items from the warehouse to fill the goods on the shelves which quickly became empty due to the invasion of buyers.
The male workers will rest and sleep on the third floor. Everything was complete there, except the stove. Because they got dinner from Madam Ning. Asti did not mind giving three or five additional meals per day twice.
Ms. Wiwik always delivered the report every two or three days. He was also quite happy with the female employees who began to be able to operate the cash register.
The gift shop has been named "Kadoku" on the second floor will be crowded in the afternoon. Usually the ones that come are school children from Junior High to High School who will look for a souvenir for gifts or private collections. While the young mothers there looking for gifts for birthdays for their child's friends.
Asti was guided by Dimas to drive his new car in a week. Understandably the body of this car is larger than the Honda Jazz that is usually carried. But Leon chose the car according to the attitude of Asti, who does not like to show off with luxury goods. But the car is tough and can take her two children away with her two caregivers. So in the car still feels spacious.
Now Asti has begun to dare to drive the car to a more crowded highway. His first trip this time was to Sendang Mulyo village. Akbar will sit in the back with Maak Putri, Qani is already sitting in the car seat bought new by Leon. Bu Jum's guarding her. In the trunk there are various kinds of groceries for Bulek Ratih.
Dimas is still watching Asti drive the new car. The car also rolled out of Asti's yard, accompanied by a wave of hands Mbak Ning and Mas Yanto.
This is Qani's second trip to Mbah No and Mbah Ratih's house, after the first aqiqah event. 5-month-old baby is getting bigger and more beautiful. He is the jewel of Leon Narendra Murti's heart.
" Mbah!" Call the impatient Akbar type he knocks on the door of Joglo's house many times. Dimas was busy lifting all the groceries from the trunk to the front of the terrace.
" Oh my grandchildren are coming!" exclaimed Bulek Ratih happy when he opened the front door.
The woman grabbed Akbar in her arms. So is the existence of Qani who became a struggle between Mbak Isni and Mbak Mar who alternately wanted to carry him. Until they realized that Bu Jum, Putri and Dimas had brought all the groceries into the house.
" About the darling of the grandchildren, no need for this shot, yes!" " Bu Jum Ledek.
" I made you drink!" Mama Mar said immediately into the kitchen.
By the way, he was the only man in the house. If you live in the village, the men will leave very early to the garden or to the rice fields to work.
" Asti, we can buy coconuts from big traders in Yogyakarta!"
" Thank God, Bulek! Later some of the profits are saved, for the payment of the cost of Hajj!"
They were there until noon. Dimas took some mangoes and guava water type Cincalo that bright red. He gathered the fruit until he got a big crackle. Later will be made rujak with Mbak Ning. Because in the garden there are also kedondong and bengkuang fruit.
Jicama fruit that the plant is like a yam plant. The fruit is in the ground. The leaves are wider with a pale green color and creeping. Earlier Kang Slamet who dismantled the two stem plants that produce quite large and large fruit.
They enjoyed lunch with Lek No...Because Kang Kasat brought some of the lunch for the workers to the rice fields with Joko's car.
" Not wrong, Joko's car was taken to the rice field?" tanya Dimas did not understand.
" Next to take the worker home... We hire people from Kidul village, since there is a problem with Dania's parents!"
"How is the mini-market business, Asti. Smoothly?"
" Thank God...Good luck, Lek!" asti said manfully.. They enjoyed lunch in the living room. While Qani sleeps in the stroller that gives him a sense of comfort. Because in this Joglo house feels cold and cool. Without AC and fan. Except in Asti's room located in the back building. Closed, and adjacent to the kitchen and warehouse.
