Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 189. Asti is different
" Dimas, follow me to the market. Tomorrow, right ?" ask Asti that morning.
" Yes, Ma! Mr. Leon even asked me to always accompany Ms. Asti... Don't be afraid, Ma'am! We're all going to look after and protect Asti's family." Dimas.
The order was given to Dimas by Leon yesterday....It is not the intention of Leon to reduce Asti's freedom in activities outside the home. Since giving birth to Qani, Asti so often confused and panicked when many thoughts. Though all that is not from the fault of his attitude or behavior that makes some people do not like the life of Asti now.
" Thank you, Dimas! I have been less focused since yesterday. But those items were indispensable for the stock in the store that was running out!"
" Yes, Ma'am. I'll be ready in the morning!"
The next day, Dimas took Inova's car. Because Akbar whined to come along, Asti was forced to bring the child with the Princess. They leave for the market, after Leon and Joko also leave for the housing office.
In the parking lot, there are two men from the hauler who asked Asti to bring the goods. Three large boxes of groceries moved from the trunk of the car until they were piled up in the store.
Now "Muslimah" clothing stores are increasingly vibrant with the many clothing models offered and sold. Dimas takes Akbar to hang out at a coffee shop. So that the child does not disturb his mother and the workers in the store who are busy removing groceries.
The women began counting the number of items purchased, with a note yesterday written by Puspita.Each item was stacked according to model and type before being put on shelves and storefront.
While they work on counting groceries... Ningrum occasionally still serves the buyers who take turns to come to the store. Their store was never empty of buyers.
" Ningrum help you order lunch for all of us, yes! Akbar and I were just bought with ice! Does anyone want another drink?"
" Combined ice can you, Ma'am?" pinta Pita bidding.
" I want to, too, Asti! I'm going with Ningrum to order food to the stall, can I?"
Because of the report, Asti takes care of all that shopping while snacking on some market snacks such as getuk lindri with savory grated coconut sprinkles.
.
Ningrum and the Princess walked towards their subscription food stall, whose selling location was in the back los. Dimas still keep Akbar who asked to buy toys from wood resembling horses. They sit in the front area of the market which is quite quiet and safe.
" Yes, Forgive Dimas! Not all of Akbar's requests you follow! Brother, next time if you want something to ask Mom or Dad... Later Om Dimas his money runs out...You keep mintain!"
Akbar's face scowled at Asti rather loudly, as they came to the front of the shop. Dimas just laughed to see the gloomy face of Akbar. He bought the toy for ten thousand dollars. Pretty cheap indeed. Although Dimas knew, Mr. Leon was able to buy Akbar an expensive toy like a remote control car. But all the expensive toys are a gift from his relatives, when Akbar birthday.
" What did you say about Om Dimas earlier, hmm?"
" Thank you!" akbar said quickly.
" Tomorrow again, I only bring sister Qani if Akbar does not obey mother!"
Akbar speechless... He knew his mother was angry. Sometimes he looked into his mother's eyes. She had already put some snacks and drinks for Akbar in her small backpack. Rarely did he give money to Akbar to the stall alone.
Since having its own mini market, Asti actually made a stock of cakes and milk drinks for Akbar for a week. He tried to get Akbar used to living a frugal and simple life.
Putri and Pita cut the tray containing a plate with rice ordered by Mbak Asti with a complete side dish. The hallmark of food in this market is every snack and the food sold is always delicious and cheap.
" Dimase! Eat here, only! You take good care of these three girls, yeah! I went into the market looking for vegetables and fruits."
Akbar was invited by Asti to go shopping, by entering the market. The boy was still riding his wooden horse. Dimas remained the driver for a while. Because Leon does not want Asti to bring this car alone even though it is quite smooth.
" Mr Asti, is this Akbar?You're so big, Cah's handsome...."
The reprimand came from some fruit and vegetable seller mothers. It used to be Akbar who he brought to this market when he was selling in the store. Akbar obediently brought a bag of apples he asked his mother.
" Will juice be made, Mom?"
" Yes!" Answer Asti while carrying two grocery bags filled with vegetables and fruit. They walked slowly back to his shop which was in the front lot.
It seemed that Dimas and the young girls had already finished their lunch. Mbak Putri. He looked for the supply container that Asti had prepared in Akbar's bag.
" Sister, eat first!" take the Princess after she opens Akbar's bag. The boy tried to eat on his own, though a little messy.
" Dimas, Princess let's go home!" Asti Saying. After the woman discussed their grocery records yesterday. Now Puspita and Ningrum are sticking the prices of the clothes, on the top pile, after being laid out in shelves and storefronts.
" Thank you, Ma'am! Over lunch and ice mix huh! " says Ningrum.
" All together. Another WA ribbon if you want to shop. Ms. Rani still can't fulfill our request!"
" Done, Ma'am!" Answer Puspita.
Dimas and Putri brought the bag to the parking lot. Akbar walked quickly by his mother's side. He sat in a chair next to his mother. Because Asti wants to rest for a while... Princess so used to sit in front of 'if Dimas who became a driver on the trip this time.
" We're going home, Mom?"
" Yes, Qani's sister will be looking for Mom... Akbar want to keep playing in the market?"
" No, later the mother's money runs out with Akbar... Akbar asked to buy an apple!"
" Yes, Son... Om Dimas's money is also running out with Akbar... Why buy those toys? Later rations cake and milk strawberry taste Akbar reduced huh?"
The three-year-old understood. At first, Leon is also a bit shocked when Akbar does not always get the toys he wants... Asti, who used to live in the village, rarely bought Akbar expensive toys. As much as possible taught to his son was to choose and buy useful toys.
So in Akbar toy box more toys are commonly used for children who attend school in Kindergarten or PAUD. The toy was also at the suggestion of Ninuk, who studied the development of children. The toys are mostly made of waste, wood scraps and recycled by an MSME business in an area. They sell toys online. Asti chose toys such as abacus from wood grains as a simple counting tool, rows of numbers and letters to various toys that from various building arrangements resemble puzzles.
" Akbar asked to buy what was the same Om Dimas, in the market?"
" Horses, Dad?"
" Mom angry?" ask Leon again.
" Yes, Dad. If Akbar keeps asking for toys, Om Dimas's money runs out!"
Leon hugged the boy with great affection. Some time ago, Asti had talked about his intention to send Akbar to schools with religious backgrounds, such as pesantren.. .After the boy graduated from SD.
Qani has also been involved in imitating her brother with a funny baby voice. Almost every afternoon Akbar continued to learn to memorize various prayers. It seems that Asti believes that the teachings of the religion can be applied in everyday life at home.
