Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 176. The Arrival of Asti
An Alphard car had entered Asti's garage by 15:00. The arrival of his parents this afternoon was very happy for Leon's heart who had been waiting for them with anxious hopes.
" Asalamualaikum!" greet both when they see their children, daughter-in-law and grandchildren welcome their arrival in front of the house.
"Greetings Walaikum!" Asti and Leon answered almost simultaneously.
Leon even hugged the body of the father who just got out of the car. The old man's body already looked filled in comparison to when they met last first. Even though the way the father walked was still a bit lame. Without realizing it, her tears melted. During his illness and recovery, Leon could only send healing prayers from afar.
The beautiful Grandma was holding the baby in Asti's arms. Qani did not refuse when hugged and admired by the grandmother with a sense of haru... They were led into the house and rested in the living room.
While the luggage was lifted by Leon and Mr. Imron their driver... Mbak Mesya will follow because they will also come with his family.
Leon's parents are welcomed by Lek No, Bulek Ratih, Joko and Ninuk, who are part of the Asti family... They take a break after drinking warm tea with a little sugar.
Akbar and Qani did not want to be far from their beautiful, gentle and well-groomed Eyang Uti... Occasionally Mama Leon kissed the cheek of the kingpin Qani, because it was cured of longing in the baby girl.
" Papa Rest, Ma?" leon asked his mother when he saw her chatting with only her two grandchildren. Bulek Ratih said goodbye to the kitchen. While Lek No to the tent stall because there are people looking for him. Until they realize something important is going on there.
" What's up, Mr No?" ask Leon carefully.
On Mr. No's side was a man who was the same age as his uncle Asti, yet the handsome man looked very dignified.
" This is Mr. Darmaji Hendardi, Pak Head of the village next door, precisely Sendang Waru village ... But still related to Mbah Harjo Winangun.." said Lek No introduced the man to his son-in-law.
Leon greeted the man with reverence. It turns out that one by one - people who have high positions and ranks in this area are also related to the late Grandpa Asti began to show his identity....
" Here, Leon! Mr. Darmaji has some news, and it's a little risky to hear...." Lek No said hesitantly.
" Villages have long been sultry with the families of both wives and children of the late Pak Kushari, Bude Ayu's ex-husband ... Yesterday about the youngest who got pregnant first with the Jago... Although siri married. Now there is talk, if there is a son of Pak Karto demanding the division in the form of rice fields, which was previously done by their father. They say it's been their family's legacy since Bude Ayu died..." The man explained the crowded problem.
"Kok, so complicated like this, anyway. Sir? Ask Lek No... " Where, if a husband dies who is asked what inheritance is given to his wife's child? This even brings up the relics of Winangun. Which has been around for a long time, before the wedding of Pak Kushari and Bude Ayu was carried out!"
" You have a written agreement, Sarno?"
" It looks like Asti is holding it, sir! When the rice-farm-sharing agreement at the end of the village is not extended anymore!"
" It looks complete, huh. Sir! There were two other witnesses. Mr. Haji Anwar and Mr. Mukidi!" Reply Lek No sure.
It seems that in the present time all agreements must be done officially also made documents and letters stating validity. In the past, their parents often held an oral agreement. The most severe are issues related to land and heritage. Sometimes it can break the ties of family and brotherhood. Especially when it comes to inheritance.
Asti was also surprised, when called upon Leon to join in the side courtyard... Mr. Kades Darmaji Hendardi was also a bit hesitant when welcome to enter the Asti house. After hearing the arrival of his nephew's in-laws who had just come from the city of Semarang. Of course it was a very long journey, and they were tired and needed to rest.
Asti approached Om, kissing his stairs in reverence. This man is taking care of himself and his family from afar. Because of his busyness is also a lot, in addition to leading residents in neighboring villages. Mr. Darmaji and his brothers have a business cutting teak wood also sells various window frames, door leaves and some parts of the house with the processed teak wood.
" You and Asti's healthy family?"
" Healthy Om... Bulek Ika was also new from here yesterday!"
" Yes, he misses Akbar right?" The man smiled. " Our son is only two. One has a family. But they live in Jakarta. So just go home every holiday!" he said slowly again.
Mr. Darmaji also began to explain the problem, which was raised by the children of Pakde Karto. They felt they were not treated fairly after the rice-sharing agreement was decided. It turned out that the papers were in the local village office and were originally in Asti's room at Joglo's house... Mr. Darmaji has refused the request of the children of Pak Karto before. Moreover, they live in front of his house and become part of his village. The man came forward first to defend Asti's interests and Winangun's legacy.
After a short conversation, the man was quiet. He refused when offered to try the menu of the tent stall. After the man left, Asti saw a furious feeling on Lek No's face with the appearance of the event.
" Slightly strange, huh? Cook some people acknowledge the inheritance of others. Where is the rice field in the village of people again! ... All ages, the rice fields in the village of Sendang Mulyo almost all belong to the Winangun Family. There are several hectares, belonging to others, still they are residents of Sendang Mulyo. Except for those purchased by Mas Tomo, his brother-in-law Pak Darmaji to buy Asti shophouse in Pasar Kecamatan. There's his land certificate, complete!"
" Are there any provocateurs who moved the children of the late Kushari to claim Bude Ayu's treasure, Lek?" asti asked still a bit confused.
" Maybe! Please Asti.ask for help from her office Ms. Imelda... This time, no one was allowed to sue Winangun's legacy... Especially just someone else who has no interest..."
The presence of Mr. Basuki Murti and Ms. Anggun make Asti's house more vibrant. Leon makes a video of his father holding Qani... Although not too familiar with the grandfather.But the baby girl was silent and did not cry when held by the old man.
After Azan Magrib, the entourage of Mbak Mesya's family came. The woman brought her husband and daughter... They also received a place in the room upstairs... In a large room with two beds side by side.
They had dinner together. While enjoying the special cuisine of hand-processed Bulek Ratih. It turns out that Mr. Basuki once visited this area and lived in the family of Bude Ayu's ex-husband, about 6 years ago.
From there, the intention of Pak Rahmat Sidiq to sell some of his family's gardens and rice fields on the border of Sidodadi village... Many members of his family rarely return to this village after years of traveling to other areas. So the house, the rice fields and the garden were abandoned...The land belonging to the family of Mr. Rahmat was purchased by the company Abadi Murti and used as the location of the construction of the middle-level housing. What is now Griya Sentosa Sekarwangi Housing .
