Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 235. Help from Mr. Muin
The sounds of busyness in the Asti house began to be heard from the direction of the kitchen that morning. Sister Ning has prepared breakfast that is Sego pecel. In accordance with the request from Bude Mayang last night, when they chatted in the living room while watching the soap opera. While Leon, Dimas and Pakde Muin are fun to enjoy noodles tek-tek tent stalls in the side yard.
It turns out that the Sundanese bloody woman was happy to eat foods whose main ingredients are vegetables, lalapan and sambal. Even various raw leaves that are rarely used as a friend of sambal for people in the area, already on the dinner plate.
The typical Javanese pecel cuisine consists of various types of boiled vegetables such as kale, spinach, bean sprouts, cabbage or cabbage and others. The vegetables will be served on a plate and then doused with thick peanut sauce seasoning. Sometimes crackers or rempeyek can be added to the complement. As for this pecel is usually often served with pieces of lontong, ketupat or pendulum. In addition to rice.
They enjoyed breakfast together. Including with Asti. Although he actually can't eat too much, because it's still not feeling well. His tongue was bitter too.
" Sir, I'm going to the office for a bit...If there's anything, please just call !" Pinta Leon is getting ready - ready to go.
Suddenly Akbar approached his father who had walked up to the middle room. " Dad, can Akbar play bicycle in the office? Yesterday Akbar fell, the place was narrow!" Adu Akbar's.
Leon held the child who was getting heavier just his body weight. Yesterday Leon forced Asti to come home from the village because he got word from Ms. Ning , that Akbar fell off his bike. Although not severe, Akbar's knees and elbows were scratched and bruised.
" Have healed yet who fell yesterday?"
" It's healed, really! I've been given the same medicine as Princess."
" But Bu Ning said that Akbar was so loud!" said Leon began to tickle.
" But a little, cry!" said the boy still did not want to lose.
" Okay, Mbah Muin's gonna play in Dad's office. Akbar permission to come along while carrying his bike, yes? ...Ask the Princess to come along to keep Akbar there!"
The boy giggled amusedly when he kissed Leon full of affection. Because the father not only kissed the two cheeks that are like a bakpao. Leon also tickled Akbar's neck and armpits until the boy screamed in agility.
Akbar waved his hand as Leon got out of the house in Inova's car his mother used to wear. In the room, Asti tries to take care of the needs of the newly awakened Qani. But almost all work Bu Jum quickly and carefully. Asti still looked weak with slow and unfocused movements.
" Mr Asti rest, just! God willing, Me, Sister Ning and Princess will take good care of Akbar and Qani!"
" Thank you, Mrs Jum." Asti smiled softly.
Asti had swallowed four pills of different colors and shapes, after breakfast. This medicine was yesterday redeemed by Kang Kasmat from the pharmacy at the clinic owned by Mursito doctor.
Leon hopes that after two more days, Asti will soon recover his health. Otherwise, he would have taken his wife to the hospital where they used to seek treatment. Of course Asti needs to get treatment from a more serious doctor.
When the cooking for lunch was ripe, Sister Ning quickly prepared the container. Leon asks to be sent lunch, not just for himself, as well as for Damar and Dimas who are now helping with his office affairs. After his departure to Madiun for almost a week ago, and plus a day off yesterday. The entire report of his work had already piled up on the table and had to be completed quickly.
Mr. Muin also intends to go play to Leon's office. With his song, Akbar asked permission to come along while carrying his bicycle. Ma'am Putri had brought the lunch container that was put in a special bag. There is a large box of rice, a container for vegetables fruiting, and side dishes complete.Tadi Asti put a container of melon and watermelon fruit that has been peeled skin, cut into pieces rather medium size and given a fork.
" Don't be naughty playing bike in front of Dad's office. Heart - heart yes!"
Akbar kissed his mother's cheek gently. While Qani begins to crumble - the liter restrains his sleepiness in his mother's arms.
Bude Mayang also joined the Princess. Of course, the woman also wants to know the extent of the housing development project that Leon is working on in the second phase of development.
The two women ate quickly, while Asti put Qani to bed in her room ... That doesn't change until the next two to three hours. Only now was not only Asti's head getting heavier, also both of her shoulders were tensed like they were being pulled so firmly.
" Astie!" Call Mr. Muin.
They're back from Leon's office. Also look at the entire construction project site which was designed quite well by famous architects from Jakarta. So the housing project was built is not original. Because it is supported by a variety of facilities that are very complete and adequate there.
"'Yes, Pakde!" answer Asti.
He met the man who was sitting in the living room. It looks like Bude Mayang is making drinks for her husband.
" No idea, Pakde... As Asti's head gets heavier, yeah !" his weakness almost cried.
" Mom Jum please take the kids to the room, yeah !" the man's orders were slow.
Hurry Bu Jum held Qani and brought Akbar into the main room.
"'Mom, please get Asti's face in her room!" Again he ordered to his wife.
Even Bude Mayang without saying anything, immediately knocked on the door of the master bedroom. He returned with a pair of white mukena that Asti used to pray in his room.
The man told Asti to wear the face. A glass of water was also placed on the table.
" Asti, are you sure you've forgiven the people who have made your mother unable to return to Sendang Mulyo Village and take care of you?" the man asked while holding a bracelet like it was made of bark.
" Asti sincerely, Pakde... Let Allah be the One who retaliates!" lirih.
" Are you sure about that, Asti?"
" Sure?"
The man stared at Asti's eyes for a long time. Maybe he was able to feel Asti's anger and attitude yesterday that was out of his habit. Asti never raised his voice even though he was very angry with someone.
" What do you feel after knowing that the Juwono family is behind all these events?"
" Anged, Pakde! I'm so mad! Asti spent years trying to understand the core of the conversation. Even if only some of them remember... They have been using Mbah Kung's kindness. Mr. Kushari was not satisfied just given some money when he brought his mother and brother to Banjarmasin... Also tens of millions of dollars more, just to find the whereabouts of the missing Mother there ... Not to mention their intentions, so that Pak Kushari can marry Bude Ayu and control all the property of the Winangun family!"
" One more Asti! Just remember, how's your mother that you've seen in your dreams, that?"
Asti is heavy. He tries to gather his memories of the presence of his mother who came in his dream. He was also in a state of pain, and barely conscious for several hours... Between life and death, after giving birth to Akbar.
" His face is still young! But the look in his eyes was so sad and so desperate... The clothes are a little weird, sirde! The woman was wearing a brackets tunic that had been slightly yellowish and slightly dirty. The model is also too simple and a bit outdated. He was like wearing a cloth or a batik glove for his subordinates. There was a cotton lace veil she was wearing, but the veil only covered part of her head, the rest was left hanging on both her shoulders. Looks like he just walked a long way or ran, because his appearance is a bit messy...."
All who sat there were stunned, hearing Asti's words. Bude Mayang, Putri and Mbak Ning exchanged lyrics, but did not dare to speak in the slightest. They just shrug their shoulders.
" Do you believe me, Asti? ... Your mother seems to have a big obstacle to coming back to see you. She is very dear to the baby she has born. Maybe he fought to bet his life twice, after giving birth to you, and to come to Java Island. There were two extremely influential men to hinder him. Your mother's stuck somewhere and nobody's helping her. Now..please avenge your mother's passing! Later every prayer pray both your parents who have gone missing like you usually do !"
The deg! Asti's chest rumbled with disbelief, anger and sadness... So all this time his mother was really gone... Her tears kept dripping without being prevented.
" Here, sit in front of Pakde!" said the man was gentle. While pointing to the carpeted floor.
Asih was still slightly stunned to hold back her tears of sadness. But immediately sat on the floor before the man while looking down. Pakde Muin read some holy verses of the Qur'an muttering ... Lamat - Asti lamat heard the chanting of chair verses that are read over and over again. The man's palm rubbed Asti's head from the front of the forehead to the back three times. He also rubbed Asti's right and left shoulders three times.
" Drink!" Pakde Muin thrust a glass of water that was on the table.Asti drank it until it ran out.
" Thank you, Pakde!"
Suddenly Asti's body felt more alive. His head, which seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, was lifted... Both shoulders are easier to move.
" same - same. You're already sincere, right? So your mother's path is already more spacious... Let the wicked men face the judgment of Allah SWT!"
" Amij!" the three women cried almost simultaneously.
The atmosphere in Asti's house that night was rather quiet. Asti was asleep after Isya prayer. Bu Jum took care of Akbar assisted by the Princess. Only Ms. Ning and Bude Mayang live in front of the TV. While Mr. Muin was chatting with Leon's neighbors, in the side yard near the tent stall ... They drink coffee, while enjoying a few packs of snacks purchased from the front mini market.
