It turns out that all of this is not easy and very difficult. Moreover, they have to deal directly with farmers and non-productive landowners in the local village office.
Though Om Sampurno, Asti's distant relatives have helped them quite a lot... The man who has a high enough position in the city government has been trying. He mediated and approached the local community leaders. In fact, they are also assisted by the leader and staff in the village.
It seems that all land acquisition processes will be carried out openly and transparently. This will be done at the local office... So that the scalpers did not dare to dwell anymore to influence the market price of the farmer's land.

While Asti when calling her husband will tell her about various events in this house. Including the arrival of guests in their homes. A couple from Purwokerto, Pakde Muin who is related to Asti's late grandmother, Sri Sumiarsih.
Even Pakde Muin and his wife were planning to stay one more night in Sendang Mulyo Village. He still wants to finish the business to find the truth based on the facts and stories presented by Pakde Kerto, which is very different from the actual information. This is to reveal the existence of Emilia, the woman who gave birth to Asti almost 25 years ago.
Joko was only able to drop Leon in front of the house, along with putting two suitcases of their clothes . Because he had to go to the office to prepare various administrative needs and completeness of data that there is an office computer. It will also inform Pak Cakra and Mas Typhoon that computer experts will be included in the work to Madiun.

Nidya deliberately sought the resort closest to the land area to be liberated. Because they will join a team, which will check into the field and look for land ownership data to match the land ownership record contained in the data at the local village office.
The young woman had obtained a resort containing three rooms that were fused in it. Each room is equipped with a bathroom. There is also placed a clean kitchen with a small refrigerator to store drinks and food.
In addition, there is a room that connects the rooms and the kitchen. The room can be used as a living room as well as a dining room There is even a balcony in the room that faces the hills in front of the inn. In the big window they can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area with a expanse of verdant rice fields, and hills in the distance.
The inn building is three-story with a roof top-style cafe on top of the building. It attracts the attention of visitors, especially young people. Not far from the building there is a provincial road, which is very crowded because it connects the area with several other cities around East Java.
Nidya also requested special services for Joko and two employees of Mr. Leon to the inn manager. From preparing breakfast to dinner, find laundry services for washing and ironing. And provide more security and comfort for the relatives
Sorenya, Joko and two office employees have arrived. Complete with their needs from bags - large bags containing change of clothes, small suitcases containing archives. They also carry a printer, and a computer that will be used to complete their work there.
Joko, Leon and the two employees of Leon's trust immediately discussed in the dining room. Mbak Ning provides coffee and snacks made from various foods from processed bananas. There are made banana fried honey, made eye cake wheel, also banana molen.
" Dad!" call Qani spoiled with the sound of her baby. Since then, the baby girl was forbidden to approach Asti, because the four people sitting at the dinner table looked serious in discussing their work problems later. Moreover, Leon strongly entrusted the ability of Cakra to complete the recordation.
" Here baby!" call Leon. Of course the baby was still missing his father. Quickly Qani crawled closer to the seat where Leon was sitting. The baby immediately embraced him lovingly. Joko until chuckled to see his nephew was still a henchman stuck to his father's body. While they continue to take steps that should be taken to anticipate the circumstances they will meet on the field.
" Mr Asti there seems to be Pakde Muin and his wife, deh! At the Tenda shop!" Report the Princess who had permission to go out to buy her personal needs every month.
" Pakde Muin, Mbah Wijanarko's son, Asti?" joko asked when he heard the report of the princess.
" Yes, they've been staying at Joglo's house for two nights... Please meet and meet his wife!" asti.
The princess was guarding Akbar who was trying to pedal his bike which was given an additional two small wheels on the rear tire to maintain balance. As it was late afternoon, Leon told Akbar to come in and keep the bike in the side garden.
In the courtyard of the shophouse earlier, the bicycle was revealed by Mr. Cakra this afternoon. Of course they were forced to bring Hanum's bicycle, which was given to Akbar whom he considered a cousin. Get to Madiun. Mr. Sam was also shocked when he saw the mini bike was in the trunk of Leon's Pajero.
Until his wife laughed amusedly after hearing Joko's reason with the existence of a small mini bike. At that time Asti's car luggage was full of various, suitcases, bags and other luggage, during their stay at his parents' house in Semarang.
" Daughter, has Akbar taken a bath yet?"
" Already, Ma! He promised his father a lot of obedience when allowed to play bicycles!"
Asti's eyes glanced in disbelief. During this time Akbar began to grow with his sense of ego as a boy. Luckily Leon was able to fill the empty part in Akbar's soul and was able to put himself as a friend and father. True too, a child certainly needs both parents to guide them at every stage of his life.
Joko, who felt he knew Mr. Muin, soon met the man who was in his tent shop. Leon still enjoys home-cooked meals that he misses for a week. Even though he lives in a pretty famous three-star hotel in the town of 'Brem' it.
Qani had Bu Jum put to sleep in his room. Ms. Ning is preparing the dry side dishes that Joko requested for additional supplies of side dishes that she will bring tomorrow to Madiun...So Mbah Ning makes dry tempeh, shredded meat and sambel plow. All food is durable and lasts a week, will not stale. Especially if it is stored in the refrigerator.
The sound of amused laughter, Joko and Pak Cakra were heard as they re-entered the house towards 21:00. Of course, ART who are busy watching their favorite soap operas are confused. Rarely do they see Pak Cakra or Joko can laugh like that. Because the men actually always look cool and serious in his daily life.
"Yes, I thought it was ondel-ondel" chirped Mr. Cakra again, without being able to hold back the sound of his laughter.
" Onde-Old?" mbak Ning asked quietly while looking at Princess and Bu Jum alternately... Until Bu Jum just understood... Because the ondel-ondel is a large doll that comes from Jakarta. In the past, dolls containing humans were used to enliven some ceremonies and celebrations that characterize Betawi art... While now, Bu Jum saw the doll with a flashy makeup was used for people busking in the streets of Jakarta, Bekasi and surrounding areas.
" Who's called ondel-ondel, anyway?" the princess was confused. Ms. Ning moreover... Even Bu Jum just smirked indistinctly
