Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 229. Guests at Asti's House

The arrival of Mr. Leon when he returned to the house was instead greeted by amused laughter from Joko and Mr. Cakra, who deliberately waited for him in the living room... They know the ART in this house, still fun watching TV with their favorite soap opera. So that the soap opera show seemed to be a mandatory spectacle for Mbak Ning, Bu Jum, and Putri.

Rarely do these men watch TV in Asti's house. Unless there is a live broadcast from certain stations that present football matches between the Indonesian national team against opposing teams from other countries. Then they try to watch it. Especially if the broadcast coincides with the opening hours of the tent stall.

Sometimes, Mas Kancil was a little disappointed, because he could not see the show together. Because they still have to sell and serve the orders of buyers. Although Joko will later record the match so that it can be watched in the morning. Still, said the children of the tent stall, watching such footage is less beautiful, because it loses the euphoria of the tension of the atmosphere on the green field directly.

Ms. Ning had already gone to the kitchen to prepare the coffee. There was a passing advertisement on the soap opera. They are also actually a little confused, because rarely Pak Cakra and Joko giggled like that, like a virgin child. But the woman immediately put three cups of coffee on the living room table. While Akbar was sleeping... Asti had been since Isya, no longer coming out of her room.

Since the Princess said that there was Pakde Muin and his wife in the tent stall. The three men were also a little curious about the arrival of their guest.

Joko once met the man at their relatives' house in Semarang. That was almost 4 years ago. But when Pak Muin found out that Joko was his son Sarno Winangun who was still the nephew of Pak Harjo Winangun. The man instead gave him a sizable amount of pocket money. At that time, he also worked.

Actually they were also a bit shocked when they met the phenomenal couple in the shop yard. Pakde Muin is quite unique with his appearance that smells like a particle detective alias detective who usually appears in espionage stories or thriller films. Because he always wore a bomber jacket or a thick jacket made of wool that was long under the hips. The jacket as a complement to his underwear in the form of a dark colored Turtle Neck collared shirt. Not to mention the thick boots that make him look dashing.

What was quite surprising to them was the figure of the young woman who was introduced to them as his wife...The young woman should be called Bude, because of the genealogy in their family. Pakde Muin is older than the late Harjo Winangun. Because the wife he married was his mother's sister who was a descendant of Widagdo.

That night the appearance of Bude Mayang more like a dangdut biduan who will be ready to take the stage at the village celebration event. Said the Malaysian, the appearance of Pakde Muin's wife was very fun!

Perhaps what was lacking from his appearance that night was hair dyed blonde with curly waves and high heels with striking colors.

Bude Mayang does use a covered hijab. But he always blends colors - bold and bright colors in choosing his clothes. She likes to wear two-piece clothes, either tops or MIDI dresses . Always match with leggings.

Like tonight Bude Mayang uses a long dress of a kind of brocade lace sebetis light blue, with red leggings. She wears an instant veil in deep yellow. Fortunately there were no ribbon or corsage flowers in her veil that would add to her appearance that night... Because he also wears a short jeans jacket with the buttons of his nails are striking silver.

Until many times Joko said Istighfar in his heart. Though the information conveyed by Mr. Muin is very important. Still the appearance of the woman beside him was somewhat affecting his concentration.

Joko that night hoped that Mas Leon could talk to Asti's relatives. Because the handsome man is used to being admired and looked at by the opposite sex, namely women. So he is not easily affected by the presence of others. Although the woman beside him was his appearance made another man amused and almost laughed rolling - bolster.

For Leon who used to meet and with women from various circles, the appearance of Pakde Muin's wife is quite 'dazzling' as well. Until he was shocked himself, when Bude Mayang looked at him without blinking. After being examined, the clothes Bude Mayang bought were also not cheap. Of course, the open is purchased from stores that are in the market or purchased online. Maybe because the taste is a bit different, so the hijab dress used looks rather magical so, crowded in color. Play hit the color, exactly the rainbow cake.

Leon was quite concerned to hear the reviews of the man before him. Also he is not too sure whether Asti is able to hear for himself the existence of his mother, if Pakde Kerto and the late Pak Kushari have long hidden the facts and true events about Asti's mother, Emilia Jaffar.

" Yoko! I have to take Asti to Pakde Kerto's house tomorrow. Is the pain dangerous?" Said Leon who had brought the couple back to the village of Sendang Mulyo. Apparently they feel at home in the house of Mrs Ratih who is there.

Joko finds out about the pain of the man who is the older brother of the late Pak Kushari. Mr. Kades Darmaji once told him, when he investigated the problem of stone throwing in the window of Asti's house by his eldest son. He chased the cowardly man to the village of Sendang Waru, the home of Pakde Kerto.

" Even if he's just having a stroke, don't take the kids there! " Pinta Joko is a bit anxious. " His house was very dirty, smelly and a lot of rubbish. It might even be a hive of disease!"

" Ugh, his children are used to living a good life because their parents are rich. So behave as you please.. . Even when they are poor, their nature does not change! Stay lazy and don't care about others. For years the house was never cleaned. In addition to being lazy also do not have much money to repair the house that is very old and outdated. How do you want a clean house? Looking for a decent job just do not want, even though for the needs of your own stomach!'

" Why keep on laughing amusedly here? Is there anything funny?" leon was confused.

" Said Mr. Cakra, Pakde Muin's wife was like an ondel-ondel... After I search on google what is ondel-ondel, yes we so laugh amusedly, lha!" obviously Joko. That's how Leon has out his aura of leadership. Firm and authoritative. Everything should be explained in detail and make sense.

Asti's cousin brother still shuddered in horror, when he imagined the appearance of Pak Kerto's house that was already very unfit for human habitation. So lazy members of the Juwono family, their house is filled with various junk, dirty yard with tall bushes mixed with garbage that has never been touched by a broom.

After hearing Mr. Muin's story, they became familiar. Maybe Pakde Kerto also wants to apologize directly to Asti. Because the two brothers have severed the relationship between mother and child for their personal interests. That little information was obtained by Mr. Muin from the investigation of several colleagues who had been stationed in the area.

It used to be rather difficult to trace the whereabouts of someone called disappeared . Moreover, the means of information and technology are not as sophisticated as they are now. Moreover, constrained by long distances, it also requires expensive search costs. Maybe if there is CCTV, hape and data collection someone as sophisticated as now, traces of Emilia they will get.

Pakde Muin believes from the story of Asti, who had dreamed of seeing his mother. Looks like Emilia Jaffar's been gone a long time. Unfortunately, Emilia's half-brother and her sister disappeared like they had swallowed the earth. What was behind the burning at Emilia's parents' house?

***

The next morning, Ms. Ning and Asti started to get busy in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family members. While Asti processed his own food for the two children. Qani made vegetable rice and chicken suwiran. While Akbar prepared fried rice without chili seasoning.

Joko, Mr. Candra and Typhoon stay in the upper room... They soon join at the dinner table for breakfast with Leon.

Just getting out of bed, Akbar had a fuss asking for his mini bike which was stored in the living room... Looks like the child is more obedient when told to take a shower and eat breakfast, as long as you can play the bike.

Leon calls Damar who lives in an example house on a housing construction project. There are also several other male employees who are still bachelors. While two female employees and a male employee who is already married, live in several rental or rented houses around Pom Gasoline, in Sekarwangi village.

Asti was only stunned when Leon intended to deliver him to Pakde Kerto's house... Initially also Leon was somewhat emotional with the attitude and behavior of the Juwono family. They have harmed Bude Ayu, also fooled the woman by using some of her rice fields to be done by the family of Pak Kerto. Not to mention a lot of lying by pretending to bother taking care of Asti's mother's return with her brother at that time.

" I'm done, Mas! Mr. Muin could already estimate that my mother was long gone. But the late Pak Kushari seems to know where , his older brother and sister who live in Surabaya. Or they've been moved to another city by order of the Juwono brothers, huh?"

Leon saw the sadness on Asti's somewhat sad face... For a long time Bude Ayu tried to find their existence, both Emilia's parents were also her half-sister and sister. Unfortunately, the main perpetrator, Mr. Kushari has long been facing the Divine. There may be other rewards that must be accepted Mr. Kushari, for doing cruel to others during his life.

Sometimes Asti is very sad, when Bude Ayu wants to accept the man's proposal half-heartedly because of compulsion. A lot of pressure felt by his older sister Asti's father. From his father's friendship with the richest man from the village next door. Until there is a debt of gratitude, a sense of brotherhood and whether or not Pak Kushari said to Mbah Harjo to convince the heart of Asti's grandfather. In fact, the marriage was also a bond that made Bude Ayu even more helpless.

Bude Ayu resigned when insulted physically and verbally by his two honeymooners. Because the women did not dare to oppose the will of her husband to marry again. If they refuse, they will be divorced and thrown out.

Not to mention the five stepchildren, who have grown up to adolescence. Continue to antagonize him and dare insult him in public. Until Pak Kushari died of heart disease after they were married almost 6 years. Bude Ayu chose to return to the Joglo house. Leaving everything that the man had given her as his third wife. From a small house in a minimalist style, with a slick garden, motorbikes, and luxury electronic items that become the contents of the house.
