Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 196. The Large Family
The snacking event together is getting more exciting. Especially after the workers in the mini market "U. S. Blessings" began to join after, they closed the store. The male employees in the mini market greeted Bulek Ratih with reverence. For they were the sons of the neighbors in his village, where he was from. They got the facilities for a fairly adequate place to stay, on the third floor of the shophouse building that is used as a mini market.
Bu Ani and Mr. Sembodo also joined the Asti family. While enjoying souvenirs from Mr. Leon. They treated Bulek Ratih, as Asti's adoptive parents with great respect.
Thirty minutes later, there was an avanza car commonly used Lek No entered the shop yard in front of the tent stall. There was a middle-aged man coming out along with the young girl sitting in the middle.
" Mom ?" Call Ninuk happy.
The girl hugged her mother... They had not met for two weeks. It feels like girls don't meet their mothers like a year !
" Ninuk! get bag! Stay here or come home!" call Joko upset.
Ninuk turned around in the car and pulled out a college-style backpack. Ninuk quickly greeted the people in the side yard. From Leon, Bu Jum and Ms. Ning. Until the couple husband and wife, the front neighbor of Asti's house.
The princess could not join because she had to put Akbar to bed... Meanwhile, Asti is also still breastfeeding Qani. The two children were quite exhausted because this afternoon, when invited to visit Sendang Mulyo Village. They are taken by Kang Slamet to see a cattle ranch belonging to one of the neighbors of the village. Mbak Asni also joined the piggy bank while riding Qani. The woman was a pleasure because just this time, her sister Akbar was willing to be taken by someone else. Qani is the most choosy baby girl. He does not want to be carried by people he does not know closely.
" Asalamualaikum!" the sound of Ninuk's cry, Asti heard from the door of his room...Ninuk ran to hug his older cousin tightly.
" Mr Asti is in good health, right?" asked Ninuk a little worriedly.
Asti is somewhat suspicious with the presence of Ninuk which is actually very unusual.... Even though tomorrow is Monday, Ninuk time to undergo lecture hours as usual.
" Yes, healthy. You must have another story from Puspita, huh! Why go home? Have you finished the exam?"
" Yes, relax, Mom! My test scores passed all, so I could relax a little because I didn't have to improve this week. You see, Puspita many stories about the incident in Solo. He's up to the bustle, you know! When I told him about the incident at the restaurant. Kok, can be along with the presence of Mbak Almira and his best friend... She and the princess recorded their conversation.
But Mas Leon forbid to spread the tape!"
Ninuk's story made Asti's face grim... " His best friend Almira and her family have also come here since yesterday!"
"Well! Why are they going to this house ? Find those things! Never be afraid, Mother. Almira's actions are wrong, even wrongly supported by others ! " Ninuk said fiery.
" Fiance of his best friend Almira, it turns out that he has long offered cooperation with Mas Leon... Even Almira can snoop on their business account ... So Almira always follows Mas Leon's activities through social media!"
" Well, ask for this Almira... Ask Leon to find a lawyer, Ma'am! Keep reporting the matter to Mr. Hermawan... There must be a chargeable charge for Almira's actions! Let him get a prison sentence... Nor can the woman be cursed by the people of one district!"
" Ribet took care of that problem, Nuk! The easiest, anyway... The collaboration was canceled! So Mas Leon can close his business account with that Mas Qosim!"
Until a man appeared to approach them from the side door. His arrival that was secretly, was quite shocking to them.
" Mas Joko, huh ?" ask Ninuk to convince himself.
Joko looked at her sister and cousin with a slightly lazy look. " Huh, if you've met a girl, surely her hobby is huddled... Where are you looking for mom, Ninuk!"
Ninuk rushed out of the house... Surely his brother was a little upset when Ninuk forced to ask to be picked up from his boarding place. So Joko had to travel home even further, because he had to turn towards the next city.Picked up at the boarding place.
"Yes, wait why..." Ninuk replied annoyed at the nagging again from his brother who was just a puppet... Sometimes Mas Joko is more chatty than Mbah Surti! A grandmother whose work every day nags. The old woman was a neighbor next to their house. Try if he has another brother, maybe Mas Joko this one can be exchanged for more or used as collateral for loans in the bank!
" A crowded tent stall, Ko?"
" Urdinary... Was that veiled woman who came with her family called Pak Cakra Almira sohibnya? Another woman Almira uses for her own sake...That Almira base, good at taking advantage of situations..."
" Lek No! " call Asti to a middle-aged man who is being made coffee by Ninuk in the kitchen of the tent stall.
The man received a greeting from Asti... Joko's father refused to spend the night at his brother's home who had just returned from the region. Because you want to know the situation of Asti and his family.
Lek No is unsettled, after hearing the story of Asti who gets a mental attack from her best friend Almira... So he just saw his brother's whereabouts for a while and came back to his village. Because it was a little afternoon, be Joko who drove the car... Because the road between the two districts that border the two provinces is steep hills.
" You're okay, Asti!?"
" It's okay, Lek! How's Lek Sanusi's family doing in his village?"
" The children still live in Bali, because there is a pretty decent business there. Lek Sanusi was alone with his wife to live temporarily in the village. They will take care of the division of the inheritance with his other younger brothers. When will they come here!"
" Yes, Asti has also not seen Bulek Mina for a long time!"
Maybe since Asti was still sitting in SD class 6... Asti has not seen his family again.
A few years ago, Lek Sanusi and his wife came to his house in Sendang Mulyo Village. They say goodbye to Mr. Harjo Winangun. They got an offer to work managing a restaurant in Denpasar, Bali.
They had received a loan from Mr. Harjo Winangun, for the cost of leaving for Bali, as well as the living expenses of his two children were the largest to be deposited Bulek Mina on his parents in his village.
Though the family Bulek Mina who is in Wonogiri, most are quite a family. But they do not care one bit for those husbands who are in trouble. Especially helping the financial problems of the brother. After the laying chicken business they went bankrupt..
Be a husband and wife leaving in Bali, for years... There they also try various businesses to be used as additional income... Because the area is very potential, various tourist sectors bring visitors from domestic and foreign tourists. ... After several different businesses opened, finally the business of convection clothes-launched Bali was the most successful developed by Lek Sanusi and his wife.
They immediately took their two children who still live in the village, to live together in Bali.. After that effort grew and was quite successful. The child was previously raised by both parents Bulek Mina in the village. They live simply and with concern.
Now their children are adults .. There are those who continue the family convection business. Some even become ASN and work in a government office... There is also a Chef at a famous hotel on the island of the Gods.
Joko took out a few bags of souvenirs given by Lek Sanusi's family. Of particular interest are its most famous milk pie and sugar salad.
Because Lek No did not spend the night at his brother's house, Bulek Ratih did not stay at Asti's house. They returned to the village. The plan, Ninuk tomorrow who will take Joko to the village to take his car.
It seems that all the activities of Asti and the people in the yard next to the house are being watched closely by Atiek's sharp eyes... That woman hasn't left since an hour ago. Especially after he saw the couple who seemed to be the elders of the Asti family was riding in the Avanza car to go home.
Unintentionally, Ninuk's eyes looked at the middle-aged woman. Because even though the age of the woman was dusk, the soul of her mother Nurwati's kepo continued to thrash.
" They're his friend's family, Mrs Almira?" Ninuk's whisper in Asti's ear. I don't want Asti to nod.
He also started to get sleepy. Unlike Ninuk who is now accustomed to staying up late to learn or complete his college assignments.
Leon takes Asti into the house. He also needed to rest, as he was quite tired with the business trip this afternoon. Although on the way back to Madiun, his car was driven more by Cakra his assistant.
The atmosphere in the tent stall began to gradually quiet by 21:00. Without being given command, the workers had already started cleaning and transporting the merchandise. Some dishes of fried noodles and fried rice have been put in a stereo foam container by Mas Danu.
Later the food was distributed to Mini market officials, young people here who maintain the security of the shophouse or some other people who pass in their stalls.
That is their trading principle...No groceries left for tomorrow. Because they will prepare new food again. So the cuisine for buyers in the shop for tomorrow is from fresh ingredients and cleanliness.
