Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 225. The Cursed Girl
Lek No, Pakde Muin and Pak Darmaji were fascinated to hear the story of Mbah Imah. It's like a fairy tale that a mother reads to a child before she goes to sleep.
" Continue, Ma?" Tag Mr. Darmaji.
" Emilia's parents have always been relentless and patient... Until they moved to another village and started a business trading sembako. Their efforts were quite successful... So that some relatives followed in their footsteps moved to the area. Years later, their efforts grew. So that the Jaffar family is very respected there. But there were one, two people who were so jealous of their success, especially to Emilia's father, Syamsul Jaffar. Because he is believed to be the leader of a large group of traders ... Until rumors arose about the damned girl addressed to Emilia, her second child ... Because Mr. Syamsul several times refused a male proposal for his daughter who was still in school at Junior High School. Mr. Syamsul wants his daughter to go to higher school, and mature enough to be married... So Emilia was sent to her sister's family who had long lived in Yogyakarta. That's where Emilia Jaffar lived and attended high school until she met Bagas Prasetyo, Asti's father."
They are all understood ... It was a great disgrace to single women who became pregnant outside of marriage... As happened to Ibu Sarifah. But her mother's ex-boyfriend Emilia's man can be called a loser... No longer responsible for his evil deeds. Even spread vile slander because of envy and jealousy to the family of Sarifah.
" Well, Emilia didn't go back to Java, Mom? " Task Mr. Muin.
" It started from the news obtained from his half-brother who lives in Surabaya. The homes of his parents and relatives in the village were burned people ... Mr. Kushari who participated in the departure was only able to find his grandmother and two Emilia sisters who were helped by other residents and taken to the hospital... But both of their parents found no trace of him either in the store or at home!"
" Mr. Kushari lived there and heard all the problems. There was one of the young men who had proposed to Emilia heard that the girl was married and had children, with a Javanese man. The man hit Emilia's parents because he felt offended, if the girl his dream was actually married to another man. Of course, the young man, supported by people who are in conflict with the big family of Jaffar... They had a big fight two days before the night of the burning. It means only Emilia's parents' house was burned. Still because the house is in a dense residential area, so the fire almost destroyed all the villages. Including Mr. Jaffar's parents' house next door."
" What about Emilia?"
" Emilia also disappeared after her grandmother's funeral was completed ... Some saw Emilia being carried away by a woman in a car out of Banjarmasin City...But many thought Emilia had committed suicide. Because his parents disappeared, his grandmother died and one of his younger siblings is in a very critical state in the hospital. Due to very severe burns in the fire .... "
" So Mr. Kushari doesn't even know what's next about Emilia?" ask Lek No.
" Surely Mr. Kushari knows nothing either. He only heard from here and there from other people's stories. Emilia's mother's ex-lover was behind the incident. Only he used someone else's hands to execute Mr. Jaffar's family!" Reply Mr. Muin kalem. After listening to the words of Mbah Imah that makes sense.
"'Because that man is not actually a good man. All his crimes have always been successfully covered by his parents and family-in-law. So that their surnames are not branded ugly! But Emilia's parents were hidden by part of the opposing group of merchants there. Unbeknownst to him again... Either they're alive or dead. But Emilia left the village because of a great guilt, sadness and despair ... His half-brother brought his sister who had recovered a few months later, then returned to Surabaya... The youngest brother died two weeks after being intensively hospitalized."
They all fell silent... It turns out that most of the events have had reports on the authorities. Perhaps due to a lack of evidence and data on the ground, the case was discontinued a few months later. It was closed ... The area is now renovated and made into a very crowded shopping center in the city of Banjarmasin... Because Emilia's sister has sold the remaining property from her parents to finance her sister's treatment and start a new business in Surabaya.
God does not sleep with all the deeds of men who are persecuted and vile against others... Several times Sarifah's ex-lover was in and out of prison for his criminal actions... He became one of the most feared criminals in the city... Though the woman he married was the son of a famous great cleric in the city.
" Pity Emilia..." Bisik Mbah Imah is sad. " Don't Mr. Kushari himself spread rumors about the curse girl to Asti first?"
" Maybe! Because Bude Ayu was forced to fulfill his father's request with various requirements . Including him only wanted to marry in series. He became Kades again in the next election. Mr. Kushari could not demand anything from the Winangun family's legacy... Maybe Bude Ayu could already feel that there was the man's hidden intentions that were not good. Shortly after, Mr. Harjo Winangun also took care of land and home certificates... All are given to the descendants of the late Bagas Prasetyo, namely Asti and his children... Bude got half the rice field, land and house behind Joglo's house!" lek No.
" That's right! Ayu has also reversed the name of the certificate of ownership of rice fields, gardens and houses all in the name of Asti. He also asked for my opinion, so that Sarno also got the back of the house and the garden next to the house. May you remain confident to take care of all the rice fields and gardens that belong to Winangun!"
" Of course, Pakde! My life and Si Mbok is also always supported by Mr. Harjo... You have spent all the relics of Si Mbok at the gambling table... That rickety hut is where we live... He was very ill, before he died. Because too often alcoholic beverages, smoking and staying up late."
" That's one weakness, Mr. Harjo Winangun... Everyone will always be helped! But Mr. Kushari and Karto are like friends eating. The two of them tried to target the legacy of Winangun.. But those who fear Allah always get help in their own way from Allah!. Especially from a vile and greedy hearted person!"
Long they are overwhelmed.. The house in front of him remained silent. Like there is no life. Like Mr. Kushari, Pakde Kerto also practice polygamy. His first wife even demanded a divorce. The woman gave him three sons. The woman left the big house, her children and the magnificent house, out of heartache... Pakde Karto has been secretly married to one of the ARTs working in their home. A beautiful young girl, still very naive and dreaming of an established life. Because the girl came from a very distant village.
" She, we're saying yes! Mbah Imah I am very grateful for the story of Asti's mother and the origin of her family in the village there!" lek No said while greeting Mr. Darmaji Hendardi and his mother. So too with Mr. Muin.
They immediately walked towards the Fortuner which was parked next to the family home of Pakde Kerto Juwono.. Until their steps stopped when they saw a shadow that moved suspiciously. Like someone would enter the house but by jumping over a bamboo fence at the end of his house there.
How else, the appearance of Pakde Muin who is very stylish is too striking for the eyes of innocent and innocent villagers. Moreover, the son of Mr. Kerto who always acts anarchist. In fact, several times there are reported by the police because it has harmed others.
Pakde Muin had changed into another outfit earlier when he invited Lek No to look for stories and facts. The man was wearing a black bomber jacket, boots were also a black pet hat.. Not to mention the racer-style sunglasses. He walked gallantly beside Sarno, l.
" Who is that, No?" whispered.
" Most Tarjo, Pakde! Some time ago he deliberately terrorized Asti's house by throwing a window glass with a stone!"
" Oh, start playing this guy's hand... I'll take care of it tomorrow! Let's just go back to your house... I want magrib! Add many demons in the house of Pakde Karto that because of the behavior of all members of their family. It may not be enough to name all the animals for their crimes and abominations. Heartless and inhuman!"
" Let Pakde! Allah has destroyed the arrogance of the two Juwono brothers. Of course with the wild and shameful behavior of their children and grandchildren. Not just the property that ludes ... Even the good name is gone. Calling the name Kushari or Kerto Juwono is for the people there, like mentioning a piece of trash!"
The sound of the car began to be heard leaving the courtyard beside the house... Some of the people inside the house were already starting to get scared... Because this morning they heard from someone, about the arrival of Asti's relatives who served in the police... Tarjo and his sisters hide in the house of his friend whose house is in another village. Her stepmother was not threatened by them. The woman had spent the years of her youth in vain... The treasure he once sought was replaced with a thousand mockery, hatred and intimidation of the children of Mr. Kerto's first wife... Especially after they got bigger, their anger got more real. They are like enemies in a blanket.
