Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 53. Divorced with Peace
Sure enough, Satrio had already filed for their divorce at the local KUA. Imelda's mother continues to monitor this. They have visited Asti's new home twice at junction three.
Akbar is getting more active. The 6-month-old baby was taken care of by an adult woman. It turns out that almost everyone who works at Asti's house still has a familiar relationship with him. From Ma'am Ning who is the housekeeper, Bu Jum who is Akbar's momong to a middle-aged father who guards the house while caring for ornamental plants and graft fruit trees that begin to grow.
" This house is nice and comfortable, Asti!" Praise Ibu Anggita. Also approved By Mother Imelda. Tomorrow is their first divorce hearing.
" What are you suing for?"
" Full child custody. If you can't, Mom. Change my baby's birth certificate and change his father's name!"
Ibu Anggita had taken Asti's words seriously. Uh, the woman started laughing. A woman is most embittered when her husband questions the validity of the child she was born with.
Asti is like Satrio who shines his tongue to cover up his relationship with Zahra! Starting from his indifference, accusing Asti of often bringing men home, to open new facts, not recognizing Akbar as his son.
Look at it later, Asti had been silent for Satrio and Zahra to realize that what they did was wrong. It turns out that the carcass that is covered for a long time will smell also foul odor.
" Patience, Mother! I have prepared everything...."
" Thank you, Mom. Without the help of Ibu Imelda and Ibu Anggita, maybe Asti's been destroyed!" she said alternately hugging the two women thankfully.
They enjoyed a very good lunch menu. Mbak Ning prepares a sego pecel, complete with freshly boiled vegetables, seasoned and thick peanut sauce. Crumple and fat crackers, which are from finely ground rice and given a drug called bleng. So it is chewy. This gendar resembles lontong because it is made from rice. Only this puff is cut into small pieces, instead of rice.
They sat on the side porch after lunch. The cool air of the big trees growing in the neighboring garden gives comfort in the hot afternoon.
While the garden on the side terrace just finished the work yesterday. There was made a small fish pond, with the gurgling of an artificial waterfall on the fence wall above it. Various ornamental plants grow along the high wall .
"This house is fast and finished, yes. Looks like it just heard it was built a few months ago, so."
"Maybe one month younger than Akbar!" Asti to Anggita's mother.
They held a room tour to the second floor. The room on the second floor consists of four spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Also a spacious room that can be used to watch television or family gatherings. Complete with balcony.
The house was built entirely with comfort. The house has a high roof and large glass windows and many openings. In addition to saving electricity because it is bright during the day and does not need AC so that the room becomes cold.
" Ninuk's room was given furniture. Later slowly - slowly I will complete the other rooms above."
"The shop in front of the street too, has Asti's sister?" ask Ms. Imelda.
" Yes, the plan was only built two shophouses first, from four shophouses..."
"Did Satrio know about this land, house and shophouse, Asti Ma'am?" ask the lawyer again.
" He knows and doesn't want to know! It's all a legacy from Bude and my Grandma, Mom."
" Crazy for Satrio! Throw all this away for the sake of that little whore!" said the woman shaking her head.
They did not expect Asti to have a big house and shophouse in front of the intersection of the road that is very strategic. Satrio will regret knowing all these things later.
"Mom, can I be helped to take care of a rental agreement for shophouses for example. Because there are so many messages."
" Let my friend arrange. Good Madam Asti! We must indeed be law literate so as not to be easily deceived or deceived by people who have a stronger position."
While carrying Akbar, Asti drove his guests home to the front of the highway.
Mas Adam proposed that Asti build his house in the rear of the land. The land was flanked by two highways, in the eastern part which was the main highway in the very crowded intersection area. In the south there is a translucent road leading to the village and the village to the west.
In front of Asti's house there is a highway that has also been cast and can be traversed by at least two four-wheeled vehicles. Because the road became the main door of a residential area that had just opened and marketed. The middle-level housing was built by a fairly well-known property company in central Java.
While along the connecting road is the settlement of villagers. They also began to open various businesses in front of that road. From small shops selling cigarettes, retail gasoline to selling drinks.
Behind the shophouse that was built was Asti's courtyard. The shophouse faces east . On the left side of the shophouse there is the rest of the land that Joko will use to sell various dishes such as fried noodles, fried rice or tek-tek noodles in the tent stall. Street food in major cities in Indonesia.
All the families insisted on escorting and accompanying Asti while attending her first divorce hearing with Satrio. After these two weeks, Asti had more recollection, surrendering to Allah the Almighty.
Imelda's mother sat upright beside her like a rock, ready to protect the meek woman from Satrio's bullying. That man who got permission directly from Mr. Sadewo, to be able to come to this trial.
Asti refused mediation. Because Joko has handed over the recording of the talaq pledge that Satrio uttered.
Everyone who was there and had known Asti for a long time was also surprised by the way the woman behaved. Firm, without compromise. Gone was the gentle, amiable and patient attitude he once had. Satrio has changed it because of all the pain and heartache that the woman experienced in their marriage.
Even Asti only nodded politely when he passed Satrio's parents in the courthouse parking lot . After the trial is over.
Asti's second and third sessions were absent. Only Imelda's mother as her lawyer represented her. True Asti said, Satrio many twisting the facts. But the evil eye of Mother Imelda is always threatening. Like the parable of "Lu sell the cave buy!"
Sure enough, shortly thereafter widely circulated, Satrio's video and his affair. Apparently there was one of Mr. Sanjaya's grandchildren who recorded with his hape when he saw Satrio walking alone with Zahra in front of the mini market. Until there was also a video when Satrio was engaged to Zahra who was located in the woman's house in a village in the Wates area, Yogyakarta.
Joko looks relaxed when Asti asks about the video. It seems that all of Satrio's relatives already knew about the affair. Because it is spread from one person to another. Residents of one village Sendang Ranti heboh. When they came to the wedding of Satrio and Asti that just happened a year ago.
The results of the decision and divorce certificate have been taken Asti ushered in Imelda and Joko. Satrio did not dare to look at Asti anymore. Without Asti to act, someone else has punished Satrio.
Imelda's mother fell silent. Asti has transferred his service fee without comment. But refused to accept the monthly rations that Satrio had to pay for his son.
" Just use Imelda's mom's account number, yeah!" Asti Pinta.
" This is for Akbar, Asti!" Firmly Mother Imelda. He tries hard to get Satrio to pay for his son's living expenses. But Asti refused.
" God willing I can still work to feed my child and finance his education."
The question was conveyed by Imelda's mother to Ibu Anggita. They talked for a long time at the house. Moreover, almost two months this Imelda's mother was busy taking care of Asti's divorce.
"Don't think it! Asti became as bitter as it was out of heartache with Satrio's attitude!" mother Imelda said concerned.
"Don't finish the business?"
" It's. Because Asti doesn't demand anything like the original speech. He only asked for full custody of his son, Akbar!"
" Maybe the talk of Satrio who doubted Akbar as his son time, Ma'am!"
" Maybe? You know why Satrio doesn't believe in Asti. His wife was calm, her religion was strong, and she maintained her pride. The time accused of cheating? Satrio's mind and mind are blind!"
" No idea, Ma'am. Ever heard the words of Mother Suparlan, who said that Akbar's face does not look like his father!"
"Just from the talk, Satrio believes? It's weird!"
" Satrio still often brought the baby with a stroller here. The twins almost every morning went around this complex, accompanying the baby to sunbathing for a while."
" It's natural that the baby changed his face. But Akbar left everything to his mother. From his clean skin, nose and eyes.
But the more the baby grew up his face even looked like Satrio, really?"
