Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 33. Selfless Giving
Asti is still reading every note posted by Ibu Anggita on each baby gear. Understandably there is no wrapping box anymore so there is no clue how to use it.
Now Satrio who helps sort the items after asking google. There are some items that may be used after the baby is a little large, such as feeding supplies, electric milk bottle washers, breast milk pumps to various baby toys. The goods are quite a lot of it put into two large boxes and stored on top of the wardrobe. Both boxes were covered with a large plastic tarpaulin to avoid dust.
Yesterday, on Sunday they had been shopping for baby clothes at a baby supply store in the city. This store is the largest and most complete there. Bude Prapti widened his eyes because he saw the price of similar items given by Ibu Anggita to Asti. It is the best brand in this store . Like bouncer and stroller. The price is not playing.
" Shew, Asti. That push for your baby, it's worth millions here.." Bisik Bude Prapti again "Bude thought, Mr. Sanjaya's family is the richest man in our area. Don't know her. There are more sultans, yes ...."
Bude Prapti's speech only got an answer from Satrio with a cynical glance. Because Ibu Anggita does not love to give expensive items to Asti. Not to mention that the mother also had to buy each of these items must also be a pair, because her children are twins. Just count! how much budget should be spent by Mr. Sadewo's family to prepare for the birth of his baby and the purchase of these items.
" Thank God, Bude. The teasing of the baby Dedek..." Asti said relaxed.
" Fair right? reduce the purchase of baby needs.." Satrio kalem added .
"Yes too, anyway! But later the father of this baby will have to prepare money again to buy two goats for marriage." Asti answered with a faint smile.
The list written by Asti based on the instructions of Ibu Anggita turned out to be quite helpful as well. Because the two salesmen of the "My Son" store quickly prepared the necessary items Asti. Most of the items that Asti buys are various types of baby clothes consisting of tops, subordinates, t-shirts inside. Asti bought them two dozen each.
While Bude Prapti even continues to walk around the store that is large enough to choose towels, porcupines, blankets and baby jackets. Anyway Asti just want some cloth that will stick to the baby's body comfortable and easily absorb sweat. He strongly believes in the choice of Bude Prapti who used to also take care of the grandchildren of Mr. Sanjaya.
With ridiculous Satrio took a toy ball made of fine fur. Then put into the trolley that was being pushed by the Bude. After seeing the toy that Satrio chose, Si Bude instead commented.
" Asti if your baby is born later will definitely be told by Satrio around the field if it's fussy."
Asti's eyes widened to see a ball toy that is almost the same size as a plastic soccer ball that is often played by children in front of his house.
" Look at dong, Mas. It's a toy for kids three years old and up!"
Satrio's face so bete heard his wife's reprimand. But put the ball back on the shelf again.
Coming home from shopping, they stopped by lunch at a roadside stall that provided a menu of chicken satay and goat satay. Bude Prapti and Asti chose to eat with chicken satay, while Satrio was engrossed in enjoying a serving of goat tongseng complete with rice and a glass of sweet iced tea.
The man only realized that Asti had been observing the way he ate." Wanna?"
A spoonful of rice and pieces of meat with yellow and fresh gravy was poured Satrio into the mouth of Asti. " If you want to taste a little, said the doctor can, really!" whispers persuaded.
Again Satrio feed Asti with food on his plate. "Thank you!"
That speech made Satrio relieved. The more the day Asti's face is getting radiant. Precisely the aura of Asti's beauty appeared when they held the seventh monthly event at that time. Until Satrio was a little jealous and unwilling his wife's face was stared at by his seniors, when they came from the office to attend his invitation.
Understand the beautiful face of Asti is very different from the face of Javanese women in general. Asti face according to the story Bulek Ratih more inherited the beauty of his mother who came from the land of Banjarmasin, Kalimantan.
So his nose was a bit pointed, his eyebrows were thick and black with clear and bright white skin. Look like girls from the region of West Asia. But the look on Asti's face comes from the good looks of the deceased's father, Bagas Prasetyo Winangun. A native Javanese man who was born and raised in Sendang Mulyo Village.
They returned home after a little afternoon. Bude had bought some cooked side dishes for dinner later. It seems that the two women are no longer able to cook. Their legs were a bit sore because they were more than two hours walking and walking around the three-story store to find the needs of the baby Grandpa.
"Go take a shower, Asti. Just use warm water, because it's late afternoon!"
Maybe in the coming weeks Asti will miss Satrio's attention. Because her husband will attend training in Surabaya. Unknowingly, Asti rubbed him - rubbed his stomach. Afraid that the baby was born while Satrio was still on duty and could not accompany him at the birth of their first son.
One night several times Satrio woke up from Asti's restless sleep beside him. A lot of advice that was always given by his mother and sister to Satrio so that he was patient because his wife was pregnant.
In the morning, Asti and Bude Prapti are on their usual activities, preparing Satrio breakfast and a little snack to take to the office.
" Are you healthy, Yang? " ask Satrio while enjoying a plate of fried rice with a beef-eye egg on it.
" It's fine, Kok. Just a little bit of a foot-pegel."
" Good keep, huh? Tomorrow I have to go out of town. I hope that Dedek still wants to wait for his father to come home !"
Now, Asti enjoys the solitude of this house after the departure of Satrio fulfill his duties. Occasionally Bude Prapti accompanies Asti to take a walk on the front road of the house while waiting for Pak greens to come with his motorbike . Mothers will also admonish Asti kindly. Including the Princess and Mother Anggita. Even Bude Prapti was also forbidden by Satrio to shop at the market by carrying a motorbike and piggybacking Asti again. It's a bit dangerous too.
Asti's daily activities are to prepare all the needs of the baby. A white wooden cabinet with a tidal unloading system is now filled with several pieces of baby clothes.
Sometimes Asti is very happy when stroking her baby clothes are small, soft and funny. Sometimes he is also a bit anxious, if this baby is born but Satrio still can not go home because of his duties.
