Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 239. Planning a Vacation Together
In these two days all the workers in Asti's house always excited to talk about their road plans. Everyone was quite happy and started to prepare everything, so that the departure was really done well. Moreover, the Elf type car rented by Pak Sarno Winangun from his friend had a capacity of more than 12 benches.
This is where the main tour guide role is, Ninuk Pratiwi Winangun. The girl meticulously arranged everything. From the start put the people who will be sitting in that rental car. Set up a booked room at a resort near the outskirts of Madiun.
The note also comes with some important phone numbers. From some lodging or hotels that they will stop by later. Usually the place is not too far from the destination of the tourist attractions they will visit. If they have to stay in the area or have to stay overnight on the road.
Most of them want to go to the city of Malang, Surabaya and Banyuwangi. Gratitude - gratitude can cross to Bali or cross the iconic Suramadu Bridge. But for bringing a baby, Qani. Ninuk looking for a safe tourist attraction and can be enjoyed by all participants of the group. Although Bulek Ratih did not refuse if they would travel to Mount Bromo to see the sunrise he said.
Anyway, not extreme tourism such as rafting, to waterfall or beach attractions that are difficult to reach by public transportation or four wheels because, the attraction was newly promoted to the public. Or to some of the beach tourism in East Java is in the South. Usually the beaches in the area have very large waves, because it is the waves of the Indonesian ocean or Indian Ocean.
It is said that the myth, this area of the South Coast of Java Island, from the west end at Pelabuhan Ratu, Sukabumi to the East end of Banyuwangi is the territory of a queen of South Coast control, namely Nyai Roro Kidul. With the restrictions of the visitors on the beach it should not dress in green if you do not want to get calamity or harm.
Actually there are many natural and man-made attractions that are quite interesting in this East Java area. But there are some places that are still not considered by the relevant parties, namely the problem of road access is difficult to pass Also the lack of adequate public facilities. So rarely visited by tourists.
Nurul and her husband have come from the village next door. They seem polite and honest. But Asti kept her bedroom door locked, just to stay safe. In addition to having a large supply of groceries in the refrigerator for them to eat, Asti also gave them a handle money for the next week. The term is pocket money. Later Mbak Nurul and her husband are only asked for help to just sweep and mop the floor of the house to always be clean.
" Calm down, Madam Asti. Guaranteed kancil!" exclaimed the tent shop employee.
The young man had been trusted to handle various home and stall affairs. Since Joko is more focused on helping Leon in his office, at the Sekarwangi housing construction site.
Indeed Asti's house is somewhat different from the neighboring house in the village. As a young generation, Leon and Asti just keep their money in bank accounts. Not in a closet or under a pillow. Except for the daily shopping money in the safety box.
Moreover, Asti only has a small collection of gold jewelry, even though it is partly the gift of her ex-husband and her current husband. She rarely wears gold jewelry because Asti wears a covered hijab. The only jewelry is her wedding ring that her husband gave her in the event of kabul.
If in the village of Sendang Mulyo, a person's wealth is seen from the number of cows that are kept by the family as an investment. Asti actually developed a variety of businesses, from the money to become a clothing store and mini market.
There are only two vehicles in the garage. Asti allowed Mas Danu to use one of the cars. As long as they are careful and responsible. Want to wear a Honda Jazz or Inova, whatever... Usually Mas Danu used the car to shop for stalls or take his father to the hospital in the city to check up on health.
" Why are Pakde Muin and Bude Mayang not with us? Lek No said the number of seats is more than 12, so it can be the same as the departure, " said Asti.
" Pakde Muin still has interests with one of Mbah Sanjaya's children. He said his son knew the landowner next to the tent!" said Leon while swinging Qani who also did not want to sleep.
" Would you buy land next to Pakde, Mas?"
"Perhaps, the owner was a bit price resistant. Because he knew, the more years, land prices in this area would rise. Because the area is crowded and continues to grow its development!"
The baby girl started talking when she saw her parents talking at night. His eyes were five watts. While his brother had slept after the azan Isya earlier. Because Akbar was able to boost the mini bike pedal. So the boy almost all day playing on the field near the house of RT sir. So he's a little tired.
There in addition to the care of the Princess, there are also mothers who are engrossed in chatting on a long bench under the mango tree. They also watch their children play. Because not up to 400 meters from the field, there is a very crowded intersection with heavy traffic almost every day.
Since Asti was sick, Bu Jum and Mbak Ning rarely left the house again. Besides taking care of Akbar's mother. They also do all the household chores, from cooking in the kitchen, cleaning the floors to washing and ironing. So the neighboring mothers also rarely stop by to play there.
The plan is that Mr. Muin wants to make a home-based laundry business. Because the area in front of Asti's shophouse was very crowded. There are various places of business there, from home-style stalls, fruit stalls or food, to some house buildings that are contracted to be occupied by some private workers and newcomers.
The area around the intersection of three is becoming increasingly crowded, with its economy expanding very rapidly compared to other regions.
" How much mineral water does it take, ma'am?" ask the Princess who helped record the consumption section.
" only 4 years, Princess ... Later please be reminded, if there is only one box left. We buy in the nearest mini market that is on the side of the road, yes!"
" This, all the dry dishes are ready, Miss Ninuk !" Report Ma'am Ning.
" Store in the red bag, Mom! It will be marked not to be stored in the back of the trunk. It's just clothes and gear. Snack and the needs of Qani and Akbar put in the backseat."
" Mom Jum, bring a small magicom equal to 5 kg of rice only. Dish soap and detergent too!"
" Ready, Ma'am!"
" We're going to Bromo, aren't we?" the princess was less sure.
" So, but Madam Asti and her children seem to be staying at a nearby inn! Adults will leave. If Mom and Dad come, we'll rent two jeeps!"
" Oya, bring a thick jacket, long-sleeved shirt and wear sneakers, yes! The air is cold there!" clearly again.
Asti and Leon are still hearing impromptu discussions and meetings between Ninuk and the three ARTs in this house. Tumben their beloved soap opera show was distracted by their planned departure. Leon forbids Asti to follow their excitement. Because Bu Jum is reliable! The woman was already very responsible with preparing all the necessities for their two children. Because all Qani clothes, diapers, toiletries, milk and drugs are packed in bags of considerable capacity.
" Anyways you should be more relaxed and fresh after these sightseeing events, huh?" leon hugged his wife with affection.
" But Leon has to spend more money to bring everyone in this house to just walk, Mas!" asti whispers uncertain.
" It's okay. You just calm down. The people in this house are happy, too!" Said Leon smiling. " Sometimes we plan another bigger family picnic. Wait for Papa to be healthy and recover, yes... People say, a walk or picnic is more effective to eliminate the mind. Than to the psychiatrist who is paid is also expensive ... Because of stress and causing someone to become depressed!"
***
Preparation begins in the morning. Lek No and Bulek Ratih came by riding in the Elf's car, while carrying a large suitcase containing their changing clothes.
" What did you bring, that ?" ninuk asked confusedly. While pointing at the transparent plastic bag.
"'Lottis. Yesterday Asni to the market buy guava, cucumber, same young mango!"
Ninuk smacked his forehead slowly, "Mom! there-there's!"
Everyone laughed amusedly. Who knows, they get bored on the road. Rujak can eliminate that boredom. Moreover, sambel lotis make Mbak Asni is delicious and steady, with a mixture of chilli, terasi, brown sugar and a little acidic water. Rujak sambel is more delicious when mixed with roasted peanuts but not too fine.
Asti has ordered one bag of snacks for the two drivers in front. There is also a bag for passengers. Do not forget to bring a small meal for the two of his favorite leaks.
After the completion of Friday prayers at the mosque for the men, the group began to get into the Elf car. The ART threesome sat in the back seat. Behind the driver sat Lek No, Leon and Akbar. In the middle is Asti, and Bulek Ratih. While Ninuk with baby Qani, stick with the car seat behind them. Later Akbar and Qani can move to any bench so that the child is not bored during the trip.
Lek No led the prayer, before they departed. Qani sat down with Ninuk. The journey begins to go east. Akbar was still able to enjoy the view from beside the window where he was sitting. The journey takes a matter of 3 or 4 hours from this place to Madiun City. If it is not blocked by traffic. The traffic in this area is congested with a variety of large vehicles. Because the highway is an alternative route connecting the two major provinces in Java.
