Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 52. Gossip Mr. Vegetable
Asti's departure from Satrio's official house has been monitored by Ibu Anggita. A little horrified also when from the cctv at Satrio's official house that was connected to his hape. He sees Satrio's rude actions to his wife.
It was only fitting that all this time, Asti was getting quiet and shut down. It turned out that he had already felt a very different change in Satrio's attitude and actions.
Sometimes Ibu Anggita is very sad with the phenomenon of married life today. Divorce is not only an economic problem, but also a third person.
While Satrio is like throwing Asti a diamond to get street gravel. Because Zahra is just a young woman who looks good at seducing men with her voice that sighed spoiled. He also dared to show some of the youthful beauty of his body with tight clothes, short and thin looking.
Asti is no less beautiful than Zahra. Even Asti's beauty has more value. He was very obedient with religious teachings and strong principled. Mature and grateful .
" Asti how are you?"
Ask Mother Anggita that afternoon.
" Good. Ma! Looks like Satrio's gonna take care of the divorce papers!".
From Asti's story, Ibu Anggita knows. Pak Cahyadi's influence was very strong in Satrio's life. Imelda's mother will prepare the evidence later in the trial if Satrio dare to reverse the facts. At least Asti should get his due.
So far, Ibu Anggita has lived almost two years in the complex. But he was a bit confused when he heard the story of Pak Sayur and Mbok Bayah. Is there something mystical going on inside Satrio's house that causes their marriage relationship to run aground?
Pak Sayur told Ibu Anggita yesterday, after Asti's departure was witnessed by the neighbors left and right of their homes. Because before they heard the noise in the house Satrio and family who came together during the day.
" Angita, the day before Satrio's mother was admitted to the hospital for giving birth, she had an argument with Suparlan's mother." Report Mr. Vegetable. The old man handed over the order of Ibu Anggita. A variety of vegetables and fruits in a large crackle bag.
"Eh, the next morning I saw Mrs Suparlan in front of Mr. Satrio's porch as it spread dried leaves onto the terrace. When Suparlan's mother returned to her house, she walked quietly, looking to the left, afraid of her actions to be seen by people. I dare not approach. Because the house was empty because everyone in the house went to take Satrio's mother to the hospital."
"Is it true that Mr Vegetable saw for himself, Mother Suparlan was there?"
" right, Mother. By Allah! I just dare to say this to 'em, Mom! Because all this time, Ms. Satrio was always good and allowed me to use water on the front faucet of her house. Moreover, Mother and Mother Satrio are very well connected ."
Indeed, mothers who shop for freshwater fish or sea water fish, always ask Mr. Vegetable to clean the fish they buy. Well, in front of the Asti fence there are faucets and buckets of used paint belonging to a pack of vegetables to clean the fish that has been thrown in the stomach.
" Today my knife that was often used to weed fish left behind on the wall of the fence. So I came early in the morning to Mother Satrio's house first to pick it up, before selling around. So I kind of suspected seeing Suparlan's mother over there!"
" Do you mean vegetable?" ask Ibu Anggita not understand. The story of Sayur sir is somewhat beyond logic.
" Yes, it looks like Ms. Suparlan did something there to destroy Mr. Satrio's and his wife's marriage."
" The hell's time, sir?"
"Mbok Bayah is also suspicious, because Bu Suparlan likes to send various foods to Pak Satrio, when his wife still lives long in the village. At that time Mbok Bayah had been invited to his village Satrio Mother. Just for a little while to come home with Mr. Satrio."
Maybe the neighbors asked that to Mbok Bayah. Because the woman also used to be asked to take care of the baby. Because some of the mothers of the inhabitants of this complex are immigrants from various places and regions. They followed their husbands on duty and were stationed in this city.
"It was just that the house smelled bad when Satrio's mother came home. Mbok Bayah came to the house every day to sweep and mop his house. Being somewhat suspicious of the stench, Mbok Bayah asked his neighbor for help. He was told to mop the house with water from the laundry of rice and salt that the man had prayed!"
"How do you do it, sir?"
"The smell is gone, ma'am. Only Mbok Bayah saw, it was Pak Satrio's attitude that changed a lot. Until last month, Ibu Satrio gave the same money Mbok Bayah up to two months salary. Mbok Bayah was asked not to come again, because Ibu Satrio reasoned that she would often be in her new home in the intersection area. Near his hometown."
" Sayur sir, still selling through Mbok Bayah's house?"
" Such, Mom."
"If you meet, ask help Si Mbok tell play to my house, sir. But the afternoon came. I still have to wait for the twins at school. "
Vegetable money orders were immediately given by Ibu Anggita to Pak Sayur. "But Vegetable sir didn't tell anyone about this, did he?"
" I promise, Mom!. I just said this because I feel sorry for Satrio's mother. She was young and beautiful, her religion was strong. They are polite and respect others. Less what else, try ? Until Mr. Satrio divorces him!"
Mumbled Pak Sayur lirih only greeted Mother Anggita with a smiley smile. "Just a brash man, sir! Not very grateful. Aye right?"
Justright. Tomorrow Mbok Bayah comes when it is very noon. The woman sat on the porch of Ibu Anggita's house but her gaze glared at Mr. Satrio's house sadly.
" Get in, Mbok.Don't daydream there!"
Mbok Bayah immediately sat in the comfortable-looking guest chair. From inside room , came out an old woman who looked very slick looking after her body and the beauty of her face.
" O, is there any Eyeang Uti?"
They shake. " We're talking in the dining room, Gita. Afraid of being heard by neighbors who have razor sharp ears."
Mbok Bayah laughed. True too, the neighbors around the house of Asti Mbak turned out to be more severe disease want to yearya. Until a mother interrogates him like an accused. Though her husband who served as a police officer, the wife so follow along too.
" Is it right in Asti's house there are made people mystically so that their household is a mess?" ask Ms. Anggita . After preparing a drink and a plate of fried noodles favorite of his guests.
"According to Mas Ustaz Jauhari so, Mom. If Asti is not strong worship, he can be made crazy, he said. I feel sorry for Akbar because it is often fussy, if the night sleep is not good enough. What does it mean that people hurt other people with idol stuff?" Omel Mbok Bayah.
" There's still such a way, Mbok?" ask Ibu Anggita. For they lived in the city and forged modern education and thought scientifically and logically.
" About the area of Asti even still a lot, Mom. There is a place with a certain ritual to gain wealth . There are many firecrackers, sacred old tombs or anything to sell for, rise in rank or be given the power to lead. Only if the one sent to Asti's house seems like a witch, ma'am. Serem, right?"
Both women loyal listeners Mbok Bayah story up goosebumps. "Silence, Mom. Such evil things will go back to their owners. Just wait!"
" Mbok Bayah knows ah!" whispered Ibu Anggita while poking the fat waist of the old woman.
"Eh, Eyang Uti also knows more about this as well, really!" Reply sure.
" It was in the old days, Mbok! If our ancestors kept talismans to be taken to fight in order to be given power against the enemy. There is powder to be beautiful and youthful, so that the husband does not fall into the shoes of the actor. If now it is used to hurt and destroy the household of others. Is that sin?"
" Let Madam Asti and Akbar get out of that house now. The house is also not healthy born and inner ." Bisik Mbok Yah sad.
" A lot of people here are asking questions about Asti and Satrio, Mbok?"
" Huh, not many of my neighbors are spoiled. Even someone came to my house pura stopped by from the department store next door. They bring sugar, cake or syrup. Yes, I accept ... Rejeki is rejected! I kept quiet, people were busy gossiping. So it's a story."
Eyang Uti so laugh amused to hear the story Mbok Bayah ridiculous. Until her tears come out. Especially Mother Anggita. Worth it, the occupants of this complex are very calm these days. It turns out that his mother was monitoring the progress that was taking place.
" Is that how much she hates, Suparlan's mother to Asti?" ask Eyang Uti still can't believe it.." What's the purpose of trying?"
"The basis is envy and spite, Ma! "Umu Anggita's Speech.
The first time Asti's presence in this complex was rather surprising to everyone. As a newly married couple, they seem to be compatible. Because her husband is dashing, handsome and looks cool. Rarely a member who has only been working for a few years already has a good car. If not from his wealthy family.
Another case with the appearance of Satrio's mother with her nickname Asti. She was very young, beautiful but her appearance was simple with a long covered hijab and robe. He went to every house that was next door to him. Introduce himself while carrying food that can be stored for a long time. From crackers, palm sugar to glutinous rice. He said they were all from his village.
All mothers are happy to accept the presence of Asti. It was precisely Mother Suparlan who began to dislike. Because even though they claim to be villagers and live in the village, Asti is very friendly and easy to get along. Until the mother commander who became the head of the organization of the wives of the country's servants relied heavily on Asti. Because Asti is quick to respond when given a task.
