Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 181. There's an Agreement
Without saying much Mas Danu continued to follow the bike in front of him. They have passed half of Sendang Mulyo village in the form of dense bamboo forests ... Joko held her breath. Because the motorbike began to turn right, into a village road adjacent to the village where he was born.
They stopped some distance away, as the motor kept walking into a courtyard of the mansion there. But the house has lost its splendor because it has not been renovated for a long time. Seen from the paint that has been dull color on the wall. Rusty iron fence and dirty house yard, not taken care of with a lot of garbage and piles of other junk.
Joko asks Mas Danu to enter the courtyard of another house, located in front of the accused's house. Because the house is the home of Mr. Darmaji Hendardi, the head of this village, who is still a relative of Asti as well.
" Lho, you're Joko Sarno's son, huh? " Excited an old woman who opened the door of the house that had been knocked by Joko.
Joko immediately kissed the hand of the old woman who was the mother of Mr. Darmaji's wife, Bulek Ika Sawitri.
" Om Darmaji, is there Mbah Imah?"
" Whoa, Om mu was leaving for the District since morning , that is. If your Bulek has it! Come on in ! Joko, bring your friend!" Call the old lady.
The front yard of this house is filled with flower pots of materials such as large paint buckets that are given blue and red paint. The fence of his house was from plants that were trimmed neatly to as high as the shoulders of adults. There are also many rows of chairs available on the shaded and lush terrace.
Since then the eyes of Mas Danu still keep watching the exact state of the house in front of the house, without blinking. Joko comes silently, and surprises the man by patting Mas Danu on the back shoulder. The man was shocked, until hitting Joko's shoulder was also a bit hard as well.
" That's you, Joko! My heart would fall, you know! "
" Seriously very, Mom! What you're watching is people... Not the result of condiment for fried rice, you know!" Ledek Joko amused herself, until she laughed.
" Sst, shut up!" Bisik Mas Danu when he heard the sound of a motorbike coming to the house ahead there.
They saw the arrival of a middle-aged man with an old motorbike that he was familiar with, making Joko smile widely.
" What's up? Let's story! We sat here from now... You just shut up! " Said Mas Danu annoyed.
" Patience, Mother! The key is to be a detective who's patient and alert when watching things..."
" That's it, Dania's father, right? The man who just came!" ask Danu again.
" Yes, and that house is Pakde Karto's house... I also began to recognize that the man who had brought the bike was Mas Tarjo!"
Joko immediately got the photos of the broken window glass in Asti's house, which was sent by Ms. Ning. The glasses were already collected in a cardboard container of mineral water ... Joko just passed on the news a glance to Mas Leon...
Because now the man is taking his son and his wife for a walk and lunch to a kind of restaurant or cafe in the city next door... After Akbar began to fuss over feeling the loss of his daughter Eyang Kakung and Eyang.
Bulek Ika brought two cups of coffee in the tray. Of course he knows Joko very well. His son's playmates since they went to school at Junior High School and the same High School in the next town. Only her son now moved to Jakarta. After working for a long time in a branch office of a bank in Yogyakarta. His eldest son received a job offer and promotion when he was placed in the capital of this country.
" Bulek, is the house in front of it still occupied by his children Pakde Karto?"
" Gini, Bulek! We hitchhiked for a while to watch the man who threw the glass at Asti's house! As we followed these two men into the house!"
The woman's face began to grow very angry. " Well, you're the same friend of yours from earlier without a home front. Tarjo was the same Sungkono who was talking! One more looks like Bondan. The guy who works in the motor workshop near the suburb. Wait for you, Joko! Let the matter be resolved soon!"
" It's okay, Bulek! If necessary I report to Mr. Hermawan only!"
" Don't Tarjo make a deal yesterday with Asti and your Father in Kelurahan? Even her husband Asti brought a lawyer too she said!"
" Happy, right, Bulek? The people in the house who love to find things go on! Asti rice field will be taken over after the period of the revenue sharing system agreement is completed... His father had agreed to it a few years ago. Even his son who did not accept and sued!"
" We Sendang Waru villagers are fed up with the behavior of their family descendants, Joko! Their children from childhood are always spoiled for money and material things... He thought of the whole rice field, and the gardens in these two villages belonged to his ancestors only... So just take it and admit it. That's how they are now... Not having enough education, not working hard. But want to live well and lazy - malasan. So most dreams are all of his children and grandchildren!"
Mas Danu was wide-eyed to hear the speech of the woman whose full name was Ika Sawitri who looked graceful and quiet. But his words are very flattering when heard the ears of others.
This woman used to visit Joglo house and became a partner of Bude Ayu in PKK activities and Posyandu activities in local village. Especially since Mr. Darmaji advanced to the selection of the Village Chief, Bude Ayu many support his relatives.
" Om you have long wanted to evict their families from this village! The house was offered to some of his friends...But the Tarjo asked for a high enough price for the house. Not in accordance with the NJOP of this area. So the fans kapok no intention to buy, let alone nawar!"
" Sell that house. What about Pakde Karto?"
" Since last year the pain has been getting worse... He could not wake up from his sleep... We give you advice to stay in the hospital! Turns out they didn't have any money to pay for his father's treatment."
" That's because Mr. Karto has used the property of orphans with dzolim! Sawah in the village of Sendang Mulyo is all belonging to the late Father Asti! Therefore Bude Ayu was to ask for help with Om you to take care of the rice fields that Pakde Karto worked on... Not to mention the rice fields on the village border that were sold to your sister Ika... In order not to be recognized by his son Kushari family anymore, because it is always demanded as part of the treasure gono-gini, Bude Ayu with the late Kushari !" Said Mbah Imah after putting a plate containing fried and lento.
They ended up talking a lot on the front porch of the house. It turns out that residents in this village have also known the problems posed by the children of Pakde Karto... In addition to laughing at their increasingly unreasonable behavior. They also began to blaspheme the actions of those children who continue to look for problems.
" Other than a storm about to seize the rice fields or houses that are the right of others, why don't they just work, huh?" ask Mas Danu.
Because he saw the big house can still be used for various businesses. Moreover, it is not too far from the main road.
" Do you think the kids want to work? You can, itchy skin if it comes out a little sweat!" bulek Ika sewot.
" well... If all of his parents' lives are over. How else ?" ask Joko.
" Is the damage done to Asti's house so severe? Could it be reported to Mr. Hermawan..."
" No, Bulek! People don't care so much about rules and laws... Joko will handle it!" His promise to the two women is connected as mother and son... Before Joko Dan Mas Danu came back to them. It turns out that Mr. Darmaji has come with his proud black Nmax motor.
