Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 59. Spelling the name Zahra
Initially, Asti often brought Akbar health control at the center's public hospital. The baby should get various types of injections from immunization to vaccines, with the scheduled time on his health card.
Sometimes, Asti also checked his health which is often tired prolonged. Frequent tingling and getting a bout of dizziness that comes suddenly. While redeeming the medicine at the hospital pharmacy, where it is located in another building, Asti sees Satrio walking alone with Zahra that afternoon.
Until Asti makes sure that the woman's face is the same as the photo that Ninuk gave first. He was like he had gotten a blow from an enormous wood and hit on his body. At that moment his chest felt tight, it was difficult to breathe.
In fact, Asti rarely asked Satrio to take them to the hospital. Afraid to interrupt her husband's work in the office. Even more often Asti rides his own motorcycle with Mbok Bayah hugged him while riding Akbar.
Uh, the husband was happily out of lunch from his office to pick up the beautiful woman at work, using his favorite car again. Isn't it miris?
Until one day, Asti went alone to the hospital to check himself into a special section. Maybe it was due to leave a little afternoon, so he got a queue number that he had been calling rather recently.
Inadvertently there were some nurses who were gossiping in the kitchen. Whereas next to the room, where the nurses were chatting was a public bathroom, next to which was a waiting room filled with many visitors who were sitting - sitting there.
" Zahra was quick! if you look at a guy who's a little klimis... Just play brush! Whether you have a wife or not. Fuck, he!"
" Is he the same as that cop?" the other nurse's voice chimed.
" I think so, deh! Because the guy sib is very often invited if Zahra gets a night shif. Especially Fortuner's luggage, Sis!"
" Crazy! What was the fate of Doctor Fadil?
" What's Zahra like, huh?"
" That's what?"
" Mature girl, Ma'am! Doctor Fadil just graduated, still using the old Avanza to work. The young doctor was heartbroken! In PHP because it can prey more royal..."
" Hum, yesterday Zahra showed off a new phone!"
" Bought with the cop? Hus!"
Suddenly the voices of the gossiping people stopped. In the bathroom Asti came out, slowly after removing her tears of disappointment. Especially when the nurse who was their conversation was walking quickly through them to the hallway out of the hospital building.
" Look! He made a lunch with the doi, huh! " the whispers begin again.
Asti moved away from the noise. Soon he left the waiting room. Want to know who is the man with the young woman?
Fast-walking Asti sneaks in among the very crowded hospital visitors. That time is the same as the visiting hours for patients during the day.
Near the front gate, Satrio stood waiting. Instantly the man's face brightened, when he saw Zahra coming. The young beautiful girl covered her nurse uniform with a blazer of long black knit. Satrio was still wearing his pride uniform.
They almost joined hands towards the parking lot. It was as if the world belonged to just the two of them... Under the Flamboyant tree, there were tears of pain from a woman, as well as the wife of the man. Tangis Asti's.
***"
A fragment of Asti's memory of Satrio's initial affair with Zahra re-scratch his heart. It is not an easy thing to just say that we must accept the trials of life with sincerity, patience and trust.
It has been more than four months Asti tried to live it. A severe test that God has written to be a part of his life, experiencing divorce.
His current life began to run quietly after he tried to reconcile with his heart. Now they have to live it in their own way.
Why did Satrio come back? Why would he bother with those bitter memories again? His heart wound was bleeding again.
" Sir, not sleeping?" Call Ninuk .
"Can be a minute, just now. Akbar just got me transferred to the crib did the shop Tenda just close, Nuk ?"
It was on the wall clock in the middle room that Asti stared at the numbers. Almost 23:00.
" It was a big game, Ma'am. Fortunately, many helped. So Mas Joko and the rest of the employees are not lost."
"Lek No equals Bulek Ratih already home?"
"Jam nine seems to have just returned home. Because Bu Samad's son will be circumcised tomorrow !" Ninuk.
It looks like Madam Ning locked the front door. Also check some windows, including side doors. Because she was older than them, Bu Jum had been sleeping in her room since an hour ago.
" Mr Ning, I'm on my way, yeah! Ma'am Jum, get Akbar!"
Asti's voice sounded again. Ma'am Jum got into the house again. He was washing clothes with a washing machine, in the laundry room behind the kitchen.
" Asti's gone, Sister Ning?"
Suddenly Joko entered from the side door.
" Already, Mom!"
Joko enjoys a cup of coffee prepared on the dining table. He saw Akbar who was still sleeping soundly in the box in front of Asti's room. Ninuk came back to the village for a while, because later in the afternoon will return to the boarding place in the city.
" Don't tell me! News last night to anyone, yes!" Joko said after finishing her coffee drink.
At about 22:00 last night, two young people came to Joko Tent Warung. They were apparently Bambang's men. It was obvious from the face of the young man with the star tattoo on his neck, only to talk to Joko.
" I'm Joko, Mas. What's up, huh?" Joko.
Ever since the two young men came, he was looking around for Joko's name....
"I'm a friend of Bambang Tones, Mas? To deliver a very important news." The voice of the man sounded slowly.
Joko immediately invited the two children of the motorcycle gang members to enter through the side door to the backyard of Asti's house. In the corner there are benches and tables that are separated from the crowd of stalls. Fortunately the lights in the place were quite bright.
" Please drink it!" Joko. While putting two bottles of Coca cola drinks taken from a special cooler for cold drinks.
" I Ipong, this is Tama!" the man introduced himself. Then he opened the phone.
" Here, Mas! Does Mas Joko know this bike?"
There is a picture of a green sport motorbike lying on a road on the outskirts of the city, because it is clearly visible the shape of a high iron gate that is on the bridge near the big river.
Looks motor sport was badly damaged because it is no longer clear shape. But the police number was Joko recognized, because this afternoon the motorbike was used by Satrio out of the Asti house.
" Is this the bike on, Satrio?"
" Yes, Mas. This afternoon Satrio had an accident with this motorcycle near the iron bridge. Since noon, in our area it rained very hard, so the road was a bit slippery!"
" What about Satrio?"
" I think he's badly hurt, huh ! A little old just got help. Because two hours earlier, there was a more severe accident not far from the motor Satrio fell. Even until there are victims who died so!"
" Please keep an eye on this news! But just tell me. Satrio was just here this afternoon. He made my cousin hurt again. Until a quarrel. I don't know, maybe that's what makes Satrio less focused on the road."
The two men were unable to resist when Satrio officials brought two warm rice plates and two bowls of nape typical of his village.
They both said goodbye, after spending a dish from Joko. The young man also escorted them to the parking lot. So that Mas Yanto knows, if they are friends of Joko and do not need to be asked for money for vehicle towing services.
" dude? " Call Ninuk.
Joko surprise. His sister had been washing dishes since. Of course he heard the words of his friend Bambang earlier.
" What's up?"
" Satrio, is it okay?"
" We don't know yet, Nuk! So I asked them to find the information. Eits, secrets, yes! Don't tell anyone. Including Asti!"
" Yes, Mas!" Ninuk limp. "Did Mas Satrio just get his karma now? Betraying Madam Asti, not recognizing Akbar as her biological child ...."
" Don't talk about the law of karma! What is clear Satrio is kufur scrumptious. Because you have everything. Now the favor is taken one by one from his life by God!"
Ninuk even grabbed his brother's body so that he could be hugged tightly. He was so scared of what happened next. What other Asti vows and curses will the Satrio family face next?
