Days at home, Asti is always busy with all household affairs. Starting from taking care of his two young children. Even though it has been helped by Bu Jum and Putri.. .Every morning he would arrange the cooking menu with Madam Ning. Sometimes they help prepare breakfast and lunch.
In addition, Asti also takes care of all the needs of her husband... Starting from preparing her work clothes. Brew the coffee that would accompany the man finished his morning meal. He also escorted the man out the front door to work.
Asti sometimes also receives reports from the two businesses on a regular basis. From the clothing store in the market also from the mini market in his shophouse.
Akbar and Qani will always follow wherever this mother will travel. So Asti so have to rethink if going to do activities outside the home. If the business is really very urgent, the two leaks must also be brought and... Complete with bringing both caregivers as well. Said the person now quite a fizzle or troublesome as well.
Ms. Ning is indeed versatile, after she finished cooking, will be done other household chores as well. Like putting dirty clothes in the washing machine. Sometimes even the Princess to sweep and mop the floors of all the floors of the house, which is on the second floor as well.
Once a week, once a week, Bu Jum and Asti will open rooms upstairs to be cleaned of dust with a vacuum cleaner that Leon bought during a visit to Semarang and had time to the mall that sells cleaning tools for an electronic home.
Sometimes Bu Jum helps to dry clothes next to the house. Later he will sort out the number of children's clothes, and adult clothes after the clothes are dry.
Sometimes they all gather in the middle room, while listening to music or telling stories on the porch guarding the two leaks. Asti will start writing down various side dishes and vegetables that supplies begin to run out in the kitchen refrigerator. Tomorrow Ma'am Ning and Putri will be shopping at the market. Sometimes they also begin preparations to make a lunch menu. Some pick vegetables, prepare spices and some start cooking rice.
For Asti, if they have to prepare food for only ten people once a meal is still able to. But Mas Adam plans to use more labor, so that the house next door is completed faster than the target time set for six months.
After observing the circumstances, in this area. Adam will hire two people who will prepare lunch for all the workers in the extra house. Because the solution is better, than the building worker was sick stomach after buying food from a stall that is cheap but not clean when cooking and serving it.
Bu Jum heard the sound of a car entering the front yard after hearing the garage fence being opened
" Mr Asti, really... Like Leon's guy coming home?"
Sure enough, Mr. Leon has entered the house while saying his greetings. Asti's husband's face was a bit anxious. The man immediately hugged his wife's body. Until the man calmed down a little.
" What's up, Mom?" Asti's whispers were scared too. She rubbed her husband's wet, sweaty forehead.
Usually this man will face the various problems that are in front of him calmly and think long. But now why is he so different?
Quickly Sister Ning thrust a glass of water. After seeing his master was in a bad state. Like he brought bad news!
Soon Leon gulped down the white water. The man was a little relieved. He looked at Asti and along with three other women who always helped his wife with devotion and a sense of family.
" Papa's been coming back since midnight. Doctor Arianto had already referred him to the hospital closest to home... But Papa doesn't want to! Until Mom heard that Papa wanted to see you and Qani... But now, the pain is getting worse!"
There was a tightness in Asti's chest hearing that remark. She has not yet visited her in-laws who are in Semarang. Almost a year later, after she became pregnant and Qani was born.
" Come on, I'm scared too... Can't see Papa this time!"
" Pray God, Mom! He could still see Qani... It will heal quickly." Asti calms his heart.
" Amin!" Reply to the other three women who are different in age range
The man was sitting limp in his chair. Now Asti who should appear more steadfast and mentally strong. Immediately on his phone Dimas to come to this house and get ready - ready to go to Semarang. He himself has not dared to bring Leon's car with a larger engine on a very long journey. Moreover, her husband, her mind was not too calm after hearing her father's illness earlier.
Meanwhile, Bu Jum began to choose and put Qani's clothes and equipment in the baby bag that is large enough. Princess went to the kitchen.
" Mr Ning, I put Akbar in this house, yes. With Princess! My father-in-law is very sick! Later if Bulek Ratih and Lek No finished with the rice field business, let's follow to Semarang while bringing Akbar!"
" Yes, Ma!" Replied Ms. Ning who entered the main room to help Asti pack.
In the kitchen, Putri prepared supplies for Qani from the rice team that Asti had prepared. Including formula milk that has been put in a bottle of milk with a larger size.
Nearly an hour later, Dimas had stuffed several large bags of Mr. Leon's clothes and travel luggage into the trunk. Sister Ning brought a car seat for Qani.
Mr. Leon had called and gave some directions to Damar and Pak Cakra who would take care of the office during his departure to Semarang. They left at 11:00, without lunch.
Occasionally Leon enjoyed coffee made by his wife who had put the Princess into a tumbler. Asti and Leon did not leave Akbar. Because her son was still sleeping.
" Be careful Dimas!" asti's orders were a little anxious. Because Dimas brought the car a little speeding... Asti also heard about the start of the construction of the Java cross-island toll road which is still in the completion stage... Because the trip to the capital of Central Java from his home requires a journey of almost 4 to 5 hours through the public highway.
After hearing Dhuhur's azan, Asti asks Dimas to stop at a nearby restaurant on the side of the road ... They should rest first for lunch, rest and prayer.
Leon seemed calmer after he finished praying with Dimas and some people in the mosque near this restaurant. Qani had woken up and carried Bu Jum with a cloth. The tiny baby enjoyed the Asti-processed team rice mixed with a vegetable soup that had been cooperated not too smooth.
The two men ate with the food Asti had ordered beforehand. They chose a table that was a little far away in the corner of the Javanese-style restaurant building. On the table is available white rice, a bowl of asem vegetables, grilled gurami and red sambal... Along with other fried foods, namely fried tempe flour and tofu fill. Don't forget the sweet iced tea.
Asti also asked for hot water put in his small flask to make milk for Qani later and brew coffee for Leon.
The journey gets faster, as the car is carried by Leon. However, he was rather careful to carry the Pajero. For in it are two women whom he loves and cares most, his son and his wife.
Still, Asti asked to stop when he heard Azaan Ashar. In fact, Leon wants to get to the hospital immediately and see the condition of his father. But Asti always reminded her husband... That he should always surrender to Allah SWT, who determines everything... The health and pain of man, birth and death are also our fortune and age!
