Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 254. The Lunch Fund
Pak Camat, Pak lurah and their wives still enjoy the dish in the dining room of the village office. They also had a warm conversation with Mr. Adam David, Mr. Sudewo Rajab, the head of the bank's office in collaboration with property company Abadi Murti.
There is also Mr. Ndaru Subeno. Men who have efforts to recruit workforce in the field of development. Because the workers of the male company who will first work to prepare facilities to start the construction of housing. In the form of making a special entrance for project vehicles, fencing land also leveled the land. The plan will be carried out in the next few months after all permits are out and related agencies and agencies.
" Asti's mother is still her sister-in-law, Mr Adam?" ask Mr. Ndaru in shock.
" Yes, Leon is the one who manages the housing development project in Sekarwangi village... That's where the two of them met until marriage!" said Mr. Adam told me like a storyteller.
" So sweet, so!" said Mr. Cakra chimed in.
" This is an eyewitness and a witness to his life!" Adam's talk again. " This is Assistant Leon who has been working with my brother-in-law while leading several apartment building projects in Jakarta and surrounding areas..."
" Keep this Mas Joko?" ask Mr. Ndaru.
" He's Asti's cousin, they're her parents and sister!"
Lek No went forward to greet the young man who was thick-bodied, serious-faced but his speech was straightforward and silly. Bulek Ratih, Joko and Ninuk also cheered.
" You have brothers of great people in this area ... But his attitude was even simple like this?" Said not sure. " Though many others petantang-petenteng admitted his close relatives pak camat. Even Prayoga does not know this man!"
Lek No laughs. " Why take advantage of the position of Mr. Camat, we all live in different provinces. If I were just a regular farmer, son!"
In the room there is still Ms. Andar who looks pretentious busy herself. He seemed to bother with delivering drinks for everyone, bringing a tissue or anything for the guests of honor who were still busy talking. But Mr. Cakra and Leon did not care about her. They lost respect for the woman.
Though Mr. Cakra has protested since yesterday, when many people behind the side dishes are not. Though they have also spent a lot of energy to help PKK mothers in preparing lunch. From transporting raw materials in the form of vegetables from the market, washing dishes, to cleaning up the food waste.
Secretly, Ms. Ratna, the wife of Mr. Lurah Acmad Sudiro also heard the complaints of some PKK mothers. They have struggled to prepare lunch with very minimal funds. But there are still some people commenting negatively. Because lunch was too simple to serve to the crowd! He said it was more like food for people working in the fields than eating in the new village office building built very grand and nice.
Even the woman who should have been responsible for the lunch fund cut was getting less and less concerned. Anyway this heart Mother Andar Sita always smiled satisfied. When looking there are many available foods that are luxurious and appropriate to be served to their guests of honor today.
Until he was called Mr. Camat to Pak Lurah's office. There was Hernani's mother, Ratna Sudiro's mother and Sumiarsih's mother.
" What is my niece's husband funding this office lunch together?" ask Mr. Prayoga slowly.
" Yes, Sir?" replied Mother You doubt.
" How much did his assistant Leon give you?"
" Four hundred thousand rupiahs per day. So the funds are all one million two hundred thousand, sir !" Replied Bu Andar firmly.
" There was a report that reached my desk this morning! Mr. Cakra showed me your signature when he handed me three million rupiah. Now who's lying is you or Mr Cakra?" mr. Prayoga's voice is getting higher.
Bu Andar Sinta's face paled." Uh, ah, it's all three million rupiah, sir! But the rest of the money I saved!"
" Who are you keeping it for? Your personal interest fund, isn't it?" ask the man firmly.
" Please give it back, you! Leon did give the funds from his personal money... We have an anti-corruption program, right? If you want me to report with your actions.this to the office in the district, please!"
" I'm sorry, Sir!" Said the woman." I beg you, Don't!".
" Andar Sinta! Good thing Leon is still my relative. So this problem will not be extended, as long as the rest of the money you have now you return to Mother Sumiarsih. Hey, you didn't hear what? Asti has also added shopping money to eat - we're having lunch this afternoon!"
Apparently, the woman did not dare to twitch. "Don't embarrass yourself and this village just because of that little money! Pity the PKK mothers who were shaken, preparing all the food, but with minimal funds. When is this village going forward and on par with other villages, in the next subdistrict if this mental staff of the village apparatus like this? There has been a lot of input from people about your football so far, Andar Sinta ... I'll consider it later, to put you in another village!"
Wati who was always accompanying her senior was pale. Because he knew, Sumiarsih's mother reported it to Mr. Lurah's wife. There are many complaints about this very simple food. Though they know, the funds given by Mr. Leon are also not small! Maybe a pack of beef chicken can still be purchased for 50 people in this village during lunch in three days.
" Report the rest of your money to my wife! If you want to answer for it!" said firmly Mr. Camat.
Sumiarsih's mother was already furious. After yesterday hearing Mr. Cakra's words from the reason of Sinta's Mother Andar. He deliberately mobilized the help of Mother PKK in this village to cook their own lunch for them. So that there is a lot of leftover food at a cheaper cost.
Whispers were heard from behind the building which doubles as a public kitchen, and a side yard. Many people heard Mr. Leon's plan to improve various facilities in this village for the benefit of the Sumber Sari village community. In return for its term.
" Just return your mother to her original place of duty! The non-village, making the name of our village ugly! The feeding time for the crowds alone was corrupted! Deserve Mr. Camat trying to make the land payment very clear! So there is no term service money, tired money or anything for the people of the village!" The whisper of a mother whose parents land was purchased at a fairly decent price.
The voices of the mothers were also heard by the staff and employees of the village. Their faces were embarrassed. Because they on Saturday yah g then also feel good eating at expensive restaurants on the initiative of Mother Andar who forced Mr. Leon to treat them.
In the corner of the dining room Asti and his family still enjoy the yellow rice. Ma'am Putri keep the food on Akbar's plate so as not to splatter and make dirty. Joko is riding Qani who looks like a henchman. Lek No, Bulek Ratih, Leon is still in serious talks with Mr. Ndaru and Mr. Adam.
" Quiet, Sir! We have some adequate housing that is in accordance with the interests of Mr. Adam requested. As well as the office building for the planning of the housing project." Answer Mr. Ndaru.
" For whom, Mom?" ask Leon.
" The Alya Family! If necessary we build a house living near the inn there... The air is cooler. It's right for them." Added Adam.
Understandably the family of Mbak Alya and her husband have been living in Bandung for almost 5 years. They successfully marketed an apartment complex founded by a subsidiary of Abad Murti in the city of Kembang. So accustomed to living in a cool area.
Until they had to go back and forth to his parents' house, because in fact they live in the center of Semarang. Because they feel less suitable to their homes in the center of Semarang city. Understandably the city, is in a lowland with very hot weather, because it is located on the North coast of Java Island.
The meal was over, and it was closed with a farewell. Leon greeted all staff, employees and security officers who stood guard around this village area for three days for the smooth process of paying the land.
Arriving at the front yard of the village, there were two bank officers who met Leon. They brought many gifts or mementos - memories for Mr. Leon and his relatives . There was a huge pile of umbrellas with the logo of the bank name and some goody bags. All the items were put into the trunk of Elf Leon's car, by Mr. Sugeng on the instructions of Mr. Sudewo Rajab.
Adam came to town with his driver. They live in a hotel on the outskirts of town. At Leon's initiative they will meet and have dinner at a restaurant not far from where his sister-in-law is staying.
The restaurant has only been established in a few months, which was recommended by Mr. Ndaru, for their event later this afternoon. Because the restaurant has secure parking facilities with a comfortable and spacious restaurant building.
The money handed over by Ms. Andar Sinta to Ms. Hernani was immediately handed over to Ms. Sumiarsih witnessed by other PKK officials. In addition to being moved, they were also a little disappointed, with the woman who became the secretary of Pak Lurah Ahmad Sudiro.
" We would not expect it, if for the sake of money that is not so much...Ma'am Andar cut her funds in half too!" Mother Sumiarsih. Moreover, he knew that Mr. Leon, his wife and family were close relatives of Mr. Camat.
" Thank you, Miss Sumiarsih! Ms Ratna Sudiro agreed that the money was put into the PKK. Don't let this happen again!" whispered to Bu Hernani
" Thank you, a lot, Ms. Hernani...Good thing that has activities are still relatives of Mother, so caught! Try the other side? It could be dangerous!" another mother's comment.
Andar Sinta and Wati's mother had gone far away. They began to be uncomfortable with the views of people who saw it as if insulting and underestimating it. With money of such little value, they had been humiliated. Understandably they are used to looking for gaps between opportunities in narrowness. This is the end result they got!
