Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 277. The Death of Pakde Kerto

Ardi's speech was also accompanied by the voice of Pakde Kerto who stammered. Make everyone hold their breaths hearing it. They all fell silent.

" La illa ha illa" the voice echoed in the gloomy room. They watched the breath of Pakde Kerto second by second. His hand was getting stronger in Ardi's hand. When the old man tried to catch his last breath, with a voice like a person suffocating.

Mr. Kades saw for a moment when Mr. Kerto's tongue was sticking out like it was withstanding a terrible pain. From Ardi's lips he continued to recite prayers. He even said he forgave all his mistakes. Because there is a plan and a great intrigue that will be known to him, after his sister who deliberately took Emilia away in front of the help of others.

Mr. Kushari can always look for opportunities. His brain continued to work, even getting a thousand other plans. So the man was surprised, when Emilia heard the foul plan. So he needs the help of Mr. Manaf's men to remove Emilia's tracks .. Rather the woman spoke to others and unmasked her crimes.

Mr. Kushari looks very strong and does not care about the situation of Emilia, who was immediately taken by a small ship away from the city of Banjarmasin! It's up to Mr. Manaf. Want to kill the foreign woman who was made Winangun's son-in-law, or if it can be sold to Malaysia without a complete identity! That's where Emilia got stuck!

After he returned to Sendang Waru, Mr. Kerto was only silent when he heard the action that his brother had taken. Mr. Kushari has prepared a proper alibi! So the Winangun family did not know that he had prepared even more heinous plans. Master all the treasures of his heritage countless Winangun heritage from thousands of hectares of rice fields, gardens, large and historical joglo houses!

Ardi rubbed the old face of Mr. Kerto who looked full of suffering at the end of his breath. Firmly she clenched the two eyelids of Pakde Kerto who glared wide. Those two thin hands were immediately put together on his stomach.

Ardi staggered away from the room. Soon Mr. Darmaji comes to hold him. He led the young man away from the room. " Tarjo call Doctor Ahmad Sofyan to come here!"

Tarjo was shocked. Mr. Kerto's eldest son was no longer able to evade his duties and responsibilities as the oldest son in the family. The man pulled out of the house without saying anything. Of course he's carrying out Mr. Kades' orders

Musdalifah's mother, who had been out to the back of the house, walked back to Pak Kerto's empty room. His eyes stared at the silence there. Until he looked towards the infusion hose whose water was not dripping anymore. Stopped! Although the infusion needle was still attached to her husband's left wrist.

His chest was as if it was being tapped very strongly. There was a sense of tightness left behind after he took out all the junk he had been holding for the past ten years.

All these difficulties began a few years earlier, when his mother was very ill and had to be taken to a hospital in the city of Sragen. The cost of treatment became quite large after being treated for days. It was a burden to be borne by his family... Until Musdalifah who was working at the home of Mr. Kerto, desperate to find the loan directly to his employer.

That's how Mr. Kerto works who do not want to lose. Even thirty million rupiahs must be returned to him, even in any way. Including Musdalifah though, which this year became ART at his home. So the girl also had to pay off her debt immediately!

The life of the Musdalifah family is also very short. Hence the young Musdalifah working in the big house of Pak Kerto Juwono became one of ART. He is just a graduate of SD. After not continuing his education, Musdah helped his parents become farm laborers.

The Musdalifah family lived in a very remote village, in Sekar Rawe village, which is the southernmost village of Telomoyo. The village became the border with Wonogiri area behind steep hills full of solid stones and dry calcareous land.

Actually the rice fields there are quite fertile. But both of Musdalifah's parents only live in a house with a little remaining land in the front yard and back of their house Sawahnya they are sold piece by piece to finance the treatment of his mother who is often sicksick after giving birth to her youngest sister a few years ago.

From the last examination by the doctor who served in the Telomoyo health center, the womb of his mother Musdalifah was severely infected. Because during childbirth is only assisted by a child shaman or Paraji. So the woman often experienced very severe pain and her body was hot cold when the pain recurred.

Their condition is all-starved, making them unable to treat their mothers to undergo surgery in hospitals in big cities. The choice is only the nearest hospital, in the city of Sragen.

Their families only rely on wages from working on the rice fields of their neighbors there. While his father became a mason in several construction projects. When the growing season is over. Sometimes they eat boiled cassava all day or bananas taken from the back garden, if they do not have a penny in the bag.

Until there are neighbors who offer jobs to Musdalifah to become a housekeeper at the home of Pak Kerto Juwono. Because successful entrepreneurs need many assistants at home to cook, clean the house or wash and iron. Because his wife also opened the largest grocery store in front of their village road, right at the crossroads near the Telomoyo village office. Rarely at home.

Until the Musdalifah could not be evaded, when Pak Kerto intended to marry him. That was the way the girl had to pay her considerable debt, exactly a year ago.

Unfortunately, their marriage was carried out in series, and without a party at the home of Musdalifah's parents, also known to others. The news was also directly conveyed to Pak Kerto's legitimate wife. The woman who had given him three healthy, growing up sons did not accept the way her husband remarried and cheated on her.

The husband-wife couple had a great fight. The woman named Ajeng immediately left the house, and demanded a divorce.

He returned to his parents' home in Pekalongan. The woman only brought her clothes and jewelry.But her three children who had attended school in Elementary School and Junior High were left at her husband's house.For the young wife to take care of them!

***

The sound of a duck motorbike was heard entering the front yard of the house. Seen Doctor Ahmad Sofyan in a hurry to enter the house. He was accompanied by Mr. Puryanto to check on Mr. Kerto's situation.

The man's face looked at Mr. Pur with heart." Mr. Kerto died ten minutes ago, sir!"

" Innalilahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un!" sir Puryanto cried a little hard.

Mr. Pur's cry was also heard by other people outside the room. The condolences continued to reverberate to the front yard of the house.

Musdalifah's mother was crying awry on the bench she was sitting on.His body felt powerless again. This is the culmination of all the highs of sorrow and suffering she endured in this house.

A mother came to him. That woman is Mr. Kades' wife. Ika's mother heard the news from her husband. Seen when her husband came with Ardi, Lek No and Kang Kasat entered the house. They know that Mr. Kerto has gone home. But they are waiting for the arrival of a doctor from Puskemas to further confirm the news medically.

A village administrator took the initiative, to convey the news of his condolences through the mosque hardener, the Great Mosque of Mujahideen. The news came before the Maghrib. The news was repeated again after the worshippers completed congregational prayers there.

One by one the mourners arrived. In general, if the women in the village worship it is carrying rice stored in a container covered with cloth . Later the rice is spilled on a large container or sack has been prepared by the party who is sad or who has a home. Meanwhile, the mothers of close neighbors began to move to prepare everything for the burial event in the morning.

Ardi and Lek No have said goodbye to Ms. Mus to return home. Ardi slipped 5 pieces of thousands of fiber into the hands of Musdalifah, which was received by women with trembling hands.

" Thank you Mr. Ardi! Sorry for the mistake and the actions of my husband and his sister towards your brother and family!"

The woman continued to pay attention to the Avanza car driven by Mr. Sarno when leaving the front yard of the house of Mr. Darmaji Hendardi, Head of Sendang Waru village.

The money sheet was tucked in the pocket of her black long skirt. He had also seen Tarjo and his younger siblings willing to help the neighbors to prepare for everything.

Musdalifah's mother continues to survive in this house, this demua for the sake of her family's life to be better. His younger brother had completed his education. They can attend school until they graduate High School and High School.

At least with that diploma they can get a better job. Even if they have to work outside their area. Her youngest sister is married to a private bank clerk and lives in Yogyakarta.

His hut house was renovated by Mr. Kerto when they officiated the wedding at the local KUA. Of course after Mr. Kerto had divorced his first wife.

As a wedding dowry, Pak Kerto Juwono also bought the Musdalifah family two plots of rice fields that are now worked by his father and uncle.The fertile land gives his family a better life. Both his parents agreed, when the house and rice fields were taken care of his certificate became in the name of Musdalifah. Because his eldest son became the backbone of his family. When Pak Kerto was still successful, Musdalifah always sent money as much as his salary every month to finance the education of his three younger siblings

All this time, Miss Musdalifah just kept quiet. Type land and this house has been mortgaged Tarjo to open his business in the form of a motor workshop near the market.But for a year anyway, the capital of the workshop has not returned. Though the value of the cup is very large almost reached 500 million.

The 36-year-old woman learned a lot from the life of her other sister-in-law, Ibu Ayu Sulaksmi. But what distinguishes it is, the woman who is the Budenya Asti comes from a wealthy family. So Bude Ayu never felt a lack.He was so strong , Despite being blasphemed and scorned by his two brothers and five children of them, who were his stepchildren.

Even Bude Ayu still maintains the property given by Pak Kushari as payment for the heartache of the treatment of the man's family against his family. Bude Ayu also did not want to know with all the difficulties experienced by the wives of the deceased and their children after Pak Kushari died.

So will Mother Musdalifah later. At least he will survive in this house until 40 days of Pak Kerto's death. The plan is to return to his hometown. To a village in a very isolated interior.

A place that is often insulted and underestimated by his stepchildren as a hick village so far away. Because of the location of the village that is difficult to reach by public transportation. So it takes more money to rent a car or ride a motorcycle taxi to get to his village.

The night is getting darker. Mr. Kades and some of his men have set up a tent in front of the house and installed LED lights to make it bright.

One by one the relatives of Mr. Kerto came from a place a little far to this house. As much as possible the woman prepared a potluck dish to her guest. But the money given by Mr. Ardi was kept neatly stored in the deepest pocket in his blouse, and given a safety pin so as not to fall.. Later this money will be used for the cost of returning to his home in the village.

His two daughters-in-law helped bring him various fried foods and warm tea. Bu Kades also put various bags of crackles containing raw vegetables and side dishes to prepare for this family meal. But Musdah's mother had no more strength. The power has been drained out since the morning. He hasn't rested or slept in all day.

He's been so tired this week. Tired of taking care of all the needs of a husband who no longer has the effort to live. Tired of his heinous plans Tarjo and his sister began to count the remaining treasures of the old man that can still be sold.

Even the devotion of his life for many years taking care of those wayward children was not heeded anymore . How he should take care of their school, prepare her breakfast and her uniform. Even many times called the school because of their mischief. While Pak Kerto is busy with other young women in various villages and areas that he often visits.

Beautiful and sexy young women just want to serve the needs of the man because of the money he has. Girls - young girls, dress sexy and open . There is even one of the prettiest models now that Pak Kerto is dating. The girl also contracted a large house on the outskirts of town.

The young girls, beautiful and beautiful, usually met by Mr. Kerto as a waiter at various nightlife venues that are on the roadside outside the city. From food stalls, street-side dimly lit stalls a nightlife place such as bars or karaoke.

That's what Mr. Kerto did out there. Bu Mus got the news and facts from his younger brother who works at a convenience store in the suburb of Surakarta . His sister often saw Mr. Kerto take away young girls out of the most famous karoke place in the region.

Such was the struggle of Mrs Musdalifah, overcoming her heartache. He will survive, as Bude Ayu taught. He survived because his parents deserved to live. He survived so that his sister had enough education so that they could get a decent job Unlike him who was trapped in a household full of thorns!
