Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 272. The Presence of Om Ardi in the Joglo House
The words of Mbak Asni were also heard by Bulek Ratih who helped him bring the rest of the dishes and dirty glasses from the living room to be washed in the kitchen.
" By, Asni! That Yumi wants to say anything, whatever... We're good people to think!"
" Yes, get arrested, Yuk! If you want to talk to people, not in front of the person, directly! To checkmate, right from Asti... What is Bu Yuminah's bad luck, huh ? By - by him. Eh, even the ones who are adored by the ugly, insulted and insulted! Is that sane of people ? His Julit lips were immediately silent, after being told, that Om Ardi was his mother's sister Madam Asti! Boro-boro wants to apologize ..."
" I'm ashamed of him, Yuk! I have no face! He was also reprimanded the same. Ms RT!" obviously Mbak Mar.
Mbak Asni's nagging just now even made Bulek Ratih so advise him. " Let Asni, the Yumi will feel like a city person. So it's always right to follow the horn. Because what is seen in this village is only wedus karo gudel! If it is wrong there is no need to apologize, "bulek Ratih replied. " Eh, ouch, my guest, not yet made a drink!"
Om Ardi just smiled at the welcome of Bulek Ratih. Moreover, it was in seeing the number of neighboring mothers who came to this house . They are generally the neighbors who live on the left and right of this joglo house. In general, I just want to see the state of Bulek Ratih, after a week not seen in this house.
There was a neighbor Lek No who knew Mr. Sugeng well. Of course the Elf driver was happy to tell the event of the streets of the Lek No Family with the Asti family to East Java. Because the man was amazed by the kindness of Asti and her husband who bore all the costs of the trip which was approximately 20 people. Not to mention the addition of Asti's relatives, which numbered three people.
It was only after they heard the story of Mr. Edy, the husband of Ms. Sari, the mothers around the Joglo house in the village began to count. How many tens of millions must be spent by her husband Asti to finance their holiday event. Moreover, all the housekeepers were also brought along. Not to mention the Lek No Family which numbered four people. Plus he's an assistant to Mr. Leon who was in Madiun first!
Some of the other neighbors, who never made it to the holidays as well, began to feel jealous and envious. So they began to make sloping comments about the events of the streets, which they thought was just squandering - scattering money.
Their speech was also heard by Asni and Mar who guarded the Joglo house. Even Mar's mother was amused to hear it. Because for Leon's family, traveling to various tourist areas and abroad is common for their annual out-of-the-way events. Because all of Leon's older brothers were married to businessmen, who founded the company P.T Abadi Murti. One of their upcoming projects is land acquisition in Madiun which will soon be built mid-level housing to luxury villas.
Especially if the neighbors hear the amount of money issued by her husband Asti! Can convuls them because of the cost of the family road - the entire family road, can be bought more than two pieces of the latest type of matic motor!
Kang Kasat and Kang Slamet, who are often talked to by Joko, about him being involved in land acquisition projects in the Madiun area. Its value is not only tens of millions, but it has reached billions!
Just look, Joko also splashed the windfall from the project transaction. He left it to his mother's brother. Joko buys them some t-shirts, cargo pants and Hoodie. All are purchased at Om Ardi's store, so get a big discount. Though the goods are very good quality with the style of the current model.
Usually people hold street events, such as Pak Sarno's family. Must have sufficient reserves of funds for the event . There may be money left over to buy a little by-by for them, the neighbors. The term, even if only get a slice of cake! It's okay - what. That is the hope of the neighbors, especially the mothers - mothers are tough.
Though the trip was planned Leon to entertain Asti ... Since Pakde Muin tried to find the whereabouts of Dik and stepbrother Emilia's mother was less getting maximum results. Until they get a little enlightenment through information provided by relatives who live in Madiun. That is the news conveyed by Mr. Prayoga and Mr. Sampurno.
At the dining table, there is already a flagship menu Bulek Ratih. There are various dishes for lunch today. Including tongseng made from young goat meat. Asti children want to eat Bulek Ratih cuisine because it only uses whole cayenne pepper that is included in the soup, so it is not spicy.
Ardi enjoyed a plate of rice with that goat tongseng. Until the man came back. Understandably, he rarely ate home cooking as delicious as this. Since Pak Yusuf's family moved to Surabaya, with his wife and youngest child to take care of Pak Kromo Jati who was seriously ill.
She and her brother used to live a simple life, or the term ngirit! Very rarely fiddling, although now their finances are quite stable. Even their savings are used to invest in other fields of business. Sometimes used to develop and enlarge the convection business that there is already a place in several cities in East Java.
In Surabaya, Kak Yusuf already has a hape service store run by his brother-in-law. He still oversees the convection business that makes T-shirts, as well as hoodies. While cargo trousers for men are done on other convection that cooperate with their efforts.
" Pak Sarno has received news about the current state of Pakde Kerto? The old man's health had already declined ... He said he couldn't recognize his family and the people around him." Bulek Ratih said sadly.
" It's okay, Mrs Ratih! I also did not hold grudges or sue the man! It's all the past. Let him go through all his mistakes by taking responsibility before God!" om Ardi said wisely.
Asti was now strong enough to hear about the old man! The age of man is determined by the destiny of God! But it is very real that now Pakde Kerto get all the rewards from all the actions he did first. That's why he has felt the economic hardship of his family in recent years.
The treasure he sought by all means, including by eating the rights of others, had destroyed the lives of their children. Such as the advice of ustadz and ustadzah, which is always echoed to parents. ' Give your children food from a good fortune. God willing your son will give you good and blessing in your life.
In fact, now the Winangun family and the Jaffar family managed to face obstacles and difficulties in life, which God gave as a test... It is also a hindrance from those who use their difficulties to seek their own profit. For example, the late Pak Kushari Juwono, who always helped his brother Kerto Juwono to launch his crime action to master the property of others, from a subtle way full of tactics. To mobilize the help of thugs or hitters to launch the action.
Ardi enjoyed the breezy air on the tree-lined front porch - a large, lush tree. Earlier Mr. No and two confidants were buying fertilizer to KUD beside the village building. They also get direction from the agricultural extension guidance officer there, in preparation for the next planting season.
The sound of the Avanza car was heard entering the front yard of the Joglo house. Akbar quickly got down from the chair in the living room and ran out. He immediately welcomed the arrival of Mbah No, Pakde Kasat and Pakde Slamet.
The two men were stunned when Lek No introduced Ardi to them. Besides being handsome and tall, his face still looked young. It's a little funny too that the man is called Akbar and Qani in front of the 'Grandpa'!
" This is Asti's Omnya?" ask Kang Kasat again who feels insecure. Maybe they are the same age, still under 40. But because of working hard and being all day in the rice fields, the skin of his face and body became darker. Kang Kasat's face was even older with white strands of hair decorating over his head
" Yes, Kang. Cook does not believe. Uhhh?" bulek Ratih asked.
The man scratched - scratching his non-itchy head. Indeed, when viewed at a glance there is a little resemblance between Asti and Pak Ardi.Especially on the part of his face, namely the same - the same nosed. Their skin is also white. Because most people who come from this area are flat-skinned.
" Asti is like her grandmother, the mother of Sharifah. That is, my birth mother. Mr. Joseph's half-brother, because of another mother ... But Brother Yusuf played more than a father, for me . He worked very hard to finance my life and also worked on non-cheap therapy costs. So that my leg can recover from the injury in the burnt out, after we stayed in Surabaya..."
Everyone was silent as Om Ardi spoke in a quiet voice in a slightly trembling voice, conveying the situation. Kang Kasat also looked at the handsome man before him with concern... Pak No and Bulek Ratih also told them a lot yesterday, about meeting them with relatives of Asti's mother in Malang. They even had a picnic together to Mount Bromo... And make some wonderful memories there.
