Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 269. When Om Ardi at Asti's House
Various suitcases, large bags of clothing and cardboard - cardboard boxes filled by-the form of food stacked in a corner of a large room near the kitchen. They all immediately enter the house to immediately be able to release fatigue. Sitting relax to straighten both legs, which sit a lot and bend over on the way back home.
Mas Danu, and his older sister Mas Kancil have served lunch at the dinner table. While Mas Kancil makes hot sweet tea for them. The princess took Qani to bathe in warm water, before the baby went back to sleep. Because Bu Jum has brought a thermos of hot water that he took from the kitchen.
Akbar will be bathed as well. While Sister Ning was preparing a room upstairs for Om Ardi to rest during his stay in this house. The men chatted and rested in the living room while drinking warm sweet tea and eating fried bananas and bakwan made by Mas Danu.
Said the servants in Warung Tenda, without the cry of Qani and the cry of Akbar. The big house became very quiet. They missed the sound of the two cute toddlers so much.
" Come, Om. Please rest in the upper room!" Asti said while carrying a large bag containing clothes belonging to his mother's sister.
" Asti, I'm an invalid, but it won't be that weak, until I can't bring my own bag!" ardi reminded Asti.
" Sorry, Om. Asti just wants to help. During sleep in the car, Om is not comfortable. Asti choose a room that has a bathroom inside, yes!"
" Whatever... As long as it doesn't incriminate the host!" said the man a little.
Arriving in the upper room, Asti immediately opened the window curtain in the room.Also shifted a little window so that air and sunlight can enter the room so that the room was brighter and more comfortable. Especially from the large trees that grew on the right and back of the house.
Most rooms on the second floor of the Asti house only use a fan, when the air feels hot. Although their residence is in the lowlands, but the air is not too hot every day. When compared to existing residential houses in the lowlands near the North coast of Java. The weather there is stinging.
Perhaps it could be said that their area was temperate. It is not too hot during the day. Just a little cold in the morning, especially when the dry season is long . It may be because the people in this area still maintain the sustainability of the environment, by planting many trees. Because around the intersection, many large trees are planted as shade roads. There is a teak forest that thrives among the steep hills of rocks. Or bamboo forests that grow almost in every village, faithfully years get bigger and wider.
There are even some people who strive for their bare land that is not fertile planted with teak trees. The tree is in addition to being used as a perennial wood, the leaves are also used as a substitute for banana leaves as a food wrapper. Some are boiled to color gudeg vegetables to brown. Also utilized and some folk industry as a wrapping tempe.
" Oh, think of this house as your own! Because all of this is personal Asti. Built from the heritage of Winangun. Even this house was already standing before Asti married Leon!" asti said.
The man's eyes grazed. "'Maybe this is what Grandma Hera used to say!"
"'Grandmother Hera did say what, Om?"
" The Jaffar and Winangun families will always be facilitated in their efforts and efforts. During this time, we have always been patient in facing all the trials of life that are very heavy. We will always be thankful for the blessings and blessings of God!"
" Amine.... Yes, Om! Now, Asti is very grateful because Om and Pakde Yusuf live quite well in Surabaya. Although he had a lot of trouble living there. "
Asti had already prepared everything in that room. Including teapots and drinking water glasses. So that the man does not go down the stairs when he needs something in the lower sea.
" Your house is good! So this was built with Winangun's legacy money?"
Asti nodded. " Sure! Maybe the person who Om told me to monitor my life didn't get the full story of mine. Just hearing from other people's stories... When - when will I tell you everything, maybe if we stop by the village of Sendang Mulyo. There are Lek No and Bulek Ratih who became witnesses since Asti baby until now. They're more like real parents to Asti, Om!"
Asti looked at the face of the man who looked tired. " Now Om rest first! If you need anything, call Asti, Om. Don't hesitate! Asti doesn't feel bothered either, anyway! Because there's an ART that will help Asti take care of this house!"
Mr. Sugeng and Mas Aji had already finished their lunch meal, with Bulek Ratih and Lek No. With the help of Ninuk, they have separated the bag containing clothes and cardboard containing souvenirs that will be taken home.
" Ninuk is coming to Sendang Mulyo, Ma'am! Come back to town and go to college on Monday morning!"
" The one who is diligent and really - really college, Nuk! "
" Yes, Ma!" He immediately greeted Asti . Mr. Sugeng and Mas Aji will drive them home with the Elf Car. While Mas Yanto helped bring their belongings into the Elves. Mr. Cakra has transferred the rest of the car rental.
They immediately announced to return the car to its owner. His boss lives right across from Sendang Waru village. Alias in Tirtomoyo village. That's where Mr. Sugeng's boss lives, in addition to having several furniture stores, he also seeks b vehicle rental. The man had a fleet of trucks and commercial cars that could be rented by farmers from several surrounding villages.
Lek No often rented a truck from Mr. Sugeng's boss to transport coconut and rice crops. Unfortunately, Asti did not have enough funds to buy such a truck. If to buy a car as open as he can. Lek No refused. Because there's still an open car, Wak's already ugly. But Joko's Avanza was helpful enough when they needed to travel far. Like attending an event from a distant relative. Or bring some neighbors for a study event in another village.
The Princess and Bu Jum had already rested in the children's room with Akbar. While Asti and Mbak Ning, chat in the kitchen with Mbak Pariyem, the name of Mas Kancil's eldest brother.
The woman intends to return to the village after her task of guarding Asti's house is completed. Leon had already offered to her husband Mbak Pariyem to be his personal driver. Because the Stump can drive a car. Leon's assistants are now more focused on taking care of various activities in the office. Starting from the preparation of letters for land in Madiun, also continued the construction of housing the next stage in the village of Sidodadi here.
Leon needs a driver who will take him traveling for a variety of affairs, including traveling to several cities, such as to Semarang or to Madiun.
" It's still a lot of food, Asti!" obviously Sister Ning.
" Please pack it up to take her brother Mas Kancil home, Sister Ning!" asti.
Ms. Ning took out a transparent plastic wrapper to wrap the vegetables and side dishes. Everyone had lunch. Asti also slipped some by - by - , including typical Malang fruit chips into the crackle bag. The husband and wife had already paid to go home while carrying the bag of crackle and a little extra money from Asti.
Maybe if the additional building on the side of the house can be done immediately, Asti wants to keep the married couple in this house. Unfortunately, the development was somewhat delayed because Leon focused on completing his business first from the new land in the Madiun area.
In the afternoon, the children wake up, eat and shower. Akbar was sitting with Om Ardi in one of the tents in the shophouse yard. It turned out that he asked his young grandfather a lot about the various types of vehicles that passed on the intersection. Om Ardi was also very fond of vehicles, including being a member of the bus-loving community in the East Java capital.
Qani joined when put into the stroller by Bu Jum. Maybe this is the place that makes them feel at home. Not too quiet, even living in the village. Precisely on the outskirts. Because the intersection became very crowded and became a very important main road as a cross area to Central Java and East Java, through the Middle Line.
" Akbar wants to buy you a cake?" ask Om Ardi. After he saw there was a mini market between the 4 large shophouses on two and three floors.
" The store has a mother, a cake!" akbar said calmly.
" Ah, time?" ask the man. Although at first glance he realized that Asti inherited the blood of independence from his mother, aka his grandmother, Sarifah. For Ardi they are descendants of women who are thick with steel, independent and steadfast!
" Yes, Sir! In addition to the four shophouses, the mini market also belongs to Asti Ma... If you need anything, let's just take it there. It will be added to Asti's account!" bu Jum explained.
There was a smile of pride on the lips of the man under 40 years old. His nephew lived away from the pressure of the two Juwono brothers.Died one wish, saw Pakde Kerto! The man and his brother had given them a bitter life and were providing them with various evil attempts to benefit themselves.
