Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 70. The Unworthy of Remembrance
Akbar has been comfortable all morning with Bude Prapti. But Asti has told the woman that he can't take her back to work in this house. Because he has hired Bu Jum and Mbak Ning. Fear of not being able to pay their labor with a decent wage.
Mas Yanto is more in front as a parking lot in the shophouse, which is getting crowded every day. Mr. Spirit is often asked for help from others, who need his energy. From cleaning up, taking out the trash, to helping Joko in her stall. That is extra sustenance for them.
Once, Mr. Roh who guarded the land owned by Bude Ayu at the request of Mr. Grace Sodiq. The man made a small hut in a large enough land with a fence in the form of bamboo and Chinese petai plants or Lamtoro Gung. Mr. Roh planted the land with various types of banana plants, cassava and some other vegetables that he could sell to nearby neighbors or traders who would be sold again to the market.
Some of the land belongs to the big family of Mr. Sodiq, which is in the form of rice fields and moorings has been purchased by the company of Mr. Leon. The state of the land in Sumberejo village is similar to the land in Asti village. Dry and barren, because there is no river that can irrigate their fields. The rest of the family's land is still on the side and back of Asti's current home.
" Are you ready, Bude?" ask Asti. Because he saw the middle-aged woman was a bit reluctant to leave his house. Even though he insisted on working at Asti's house, even though he was paid a minimum wage. How dare Asti do that!
Mbah Kakung Harjo Winangun always reminds Asti, to always respect others. Especially the people we work with. We have to pay their sweat and work at a decent wage.
Bu Jum was already sitting in the back with Akbar. A car seat belonging to the twins is now often used by Akbar, when they travel in this car.
It turns out that the Bude Prapti house is located a bit far from the house of Mbah Sanjaya. The simple house is at the end of the village. But there is a faster shortcut to the house of Madam Sanjaya. It's just passing the path. Because the alley is very narrow and only enough to be passed on foot. The road became the distance between the houses of residents who put a high fence to show the limit of the house, as well as their lives are already very successful.
" Get good health, Bude. Yep! If there's anything, don't stop by the house."
The woman's tears were shed again. He was only silent when hugged Asti tightly. Almost nine months later, Asti was guarded and taken care of by the woman with a sincere heart.
" I pray that you will be given a mate again with a man who is better than Satrio. Know religion better, respect and honor you as a wife and love wholeheartedly. Also be able to accept Akbar like his own son."
Asti just assures in the heart, while saying goodbye. Akbar sat quietly in his chair . Asti began driving his car to turn out of the courtyard of the very simple house of Bude Prapti.
Until Asti began to realize that from earlier, there was a black sports bike that continued to follow behind his car. Asti just relax! Maybe Satrio's men? or Zahra?
They finally headed for the subdistrict market. Without caring about the stalker's man. It turns out that Akbar prefers the atmosphere of a crowded market and full of people. The baby asked to walk here and there in front of the store with carefree held by Bu Jum and Asti alternately.
There are also many shops, although not on weekends. Alternately, Dania and Asti eat. One or two shoppers still shop at the store. Until the Dhuhur.
Asti feeds Akbar lunch. Bu Jum buys food and is eaten at the store. Afraid of Asti hassles take care of Akbar when there are buyers.
" Mr Asti, it looks like Dania has a crush on Mas Joko, deh!"
Asti looked at Bu Jum less sure. " What's the matter, Miss Jum?"
He did often see Dania playing to Warung Tenda every afternoon. Although Joko is good people but Asti's cousin is more interested in Mbak Almira.
Waduh there is a soap opera titled let alone this. An Unrequited Love? or Love Clapping Hands?
It is precisely Asti who is dizzy if Dania does not focus on the store. Quickly for a long time, Dania wanted to work in a tent stall. But Joko prefers to hire male employees. Because of many factors, besides they sell at night, the employees of the man are easily adaptable to the circumstances around him.
" No way, Ma'am. It's just Ma'am Asti who wants me to work here, even though only a graduate of Junior High School!" Dania said confused.
" The one who focuses on work, Dania! You still have two sisters who are still in school. You want to help them, right?"
" yeah, Ma'am... At least they have a High School Diploma or SMK, so.."
" Teach them responsibility too, Dania! If you meet a good man, love you and accept all your shortcomings . Well that's your soul mate. Don't chase the attention of a man who only thinks of you as a friend or a brother!"
Asti's words made Dania shocked. He looked at Asti somewhat in disbelief! Does Asti know he's interested in his cousin?
Dania stared at the departure of Mbak Asti with Akbar and Bu Jum. Unknowingly he muttered. Asti's young and beautiful mother can be cheated on by her husband. Moreover, she is only a poor village girl with minimal education.
Arriving at home, Asti rests at home. Not that it would be discouraging Dania's struggle to grab Joko's attention. Asti also did not dare to speak or convey the facts to Joko. About Mr. Almira who is getting closer to Mr. Leon.
Precisely from the story Bu Ani, the wife of RT sir! Asti just found out, if the one who stayed at his house was not only Mr. Leon. Two other assistants. Even Mr. Sembodo has also fenced his house with a fence that is quite sturdy.
The fence of the half-brick that is plastered neatly and above it is given BRC iron . In order for some of his guests cars that are quite expensive are safe and far from the target of people who intend to steal.
"'Tumben, Dania has been absent for two days! " Cetus Word. Which was greeted with whistles and amused laughter of other Joko employees.
They love to hang out, on the back porch. Before starting preparations to open a stall later in the afternoon. Here, besides being cool, it can also still monitor the condition of the highway that is quite crowded in front of it.
Even Joko often asked his men to eat in Asti's house. Because Sister Ning cooks quite a lot for them.
Joko and Asti had the same thought. Better the workers in his house or in the Tent eating potluck, at home. Instead of buying in a stall, so they can save more than a salary that is not too big.
Actually, Dania has a sweet face. Only, the way the girl behaved and dressed was a bit tacky! He worked for Asti long enough. It was over a year ago.
Actually, the figure of Asti can be an example of teenagers and mothers who learn hijab.
The hijab that Asti uses every day is simple, simple, and comfortable.
She often wears a long tunic, with subordinates of wide skirts or toadstools. Asti also often wears sandal shoes, because it is required to dress neatly, but can move anywhere by riding a motorcycle or driving his car.
It was not like Dania who was still dressed without regard for her models and motives. Sometimes he wears a hijab with a collision of colors and motifs. Sometimes it's like a colorful rainbow. Understand that in the village they like bright and bold colors, large flower motifs, crowded and bright.
Moreover, Dania was also a rather stubborn young girl. It's hard to be told by anyone, including both parents. So Ninuk was less familiar when he met his mother's cousin's son.
Now the coolest thing is, Ninuk. She wears a bit of natural make-up to go to college. All skin care and beauty tools were given by Mbak Asti.When not as beautiful as his mother Akbar, Ninuk's sense of inferiority somewhat reduced when coupled with Mbak Asti. But he respected him a lot, because Asti who had paid all the tuition and boarding in the city.
