Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapter 85. The story of Sendang Ranti Village 2
Bude Diah took another breath. His eyes began to look sad and gloomy. " In fact, Mbah Sanjaya used to intend to match you with Susanto. Until he quit his job at a biggest Electronic Shop in Jakarta. Through the help of his boss, he opened a similar business near SPBU there..."
Asti's hand gently patted the back of Bude Diah's hand trying to strengthen. " The man who plans, Bude. Only God determines. "
" Asti, Susanto doesn't mind if you accept him as your husband. His current effort is enough to support a wife even a child as well..."
"'Bude, Asti has not thought of remarrying in the near future. Asti does not reject the soul mate given by God. But Asti is still trying to get rid of the trauma and hurt caused by Satrio's actions.."
Long time also Bude Diah was silent. " Susanto also heard that there are two established men who are also trying to approach you. Open your heart, Cah Ayu!"
Be Asti laughs amusedly." Don't be afraid of that ridiculous and untrue gossip, Bude! What is Asti top artist? Until pursued by many people. Huh!"
It was so soft that the woman hugged Asti. " Anyway, Even though you're not a match for Saint we're still brothers, Asti!"
" Yes, Bude. Asti promise. Will not break the cord of friendship between the family of Mbah Sanjaya and Mbah Putri!"
Before long Bu Jum appeared while carrying Akbar who was very sleepy. Put the baby in his wooden box. Next to the big bed in Asti's main bedroom.
" This kid is a pretty duplicate of Satrio, when he was a kid. Widya's child is indeed insolent! If you don't want to acknowledge Akbar as his son!"
" But, De! Satrio did it deliberately to cover up his own mistakes. But speech is prayer. Let all events be proven. There must be a time, God will never sleep ...."
" That's how.. .Widya always does something she always thinks is right. Until they made a fuss with her husband when Satrio was accused of impregnating a female classmate while she was in High School!"
" Time, De? I just heard about this one, you know!"
" Well that's it... Satrio is a broken home child. Maybe he had sensed that the relationship between his parents was not harmonious and never lived together. It started when Ms. Widya heard rumors that in her place of duty her husband had a close relationship with a young widow."
" The young woman named Lilis who takes care of all the needs of Mas Cahyadi, assisted by one ART person. Without saying anything, Ms. Widya came there and beat up the young woman who did work at the official house."
" It turns out that many people gave wrong information to Ms. Widya who lived far apart because of the tasks they carried out. Some of those people just aim to drop the authority of Mas Cahyadi who became a camat in the area."
" How about it, Bude?"
" Lilis was seriously injured. His leg was broken because of Widya's silence. Fortunately the woman did not report the persecution of Ms Widya to the authorities. Can be berabe, right? But Mas Cahyadi was very ashamed of his wife. They had a big fight. Until almost divorced. The man had almost given up on the attitude of Madam Widya who was very stubborn."
Asti's eyes were wide in disbelief. The news was beyond his expectations.
" Until an agreement is entered into by a lawyer. Mr. Cahyadi married Lilis as a sense of responsibility. Lilis leg was broken, the woman could not work anymore. While he had to support his elderly in-laws and his young sons. They sell cakes near the district office. With this agreement, Ms. Widya was forced to let her husband marry Lilis. As a sense of responsibility. Because their news was quite viral at that time. Now they have two children, a girl and a boy who is already a teenager."
Bude Diah took a breath back.
" It is precisely Satrio who is getting wild in association with his friends since from his 3rd year Junior High to High School. Maybe because of the gossip, that's Satrio transferred his school and lived in the village with his father. Until he went to college in another city. Even Mr. Cahyadi's young wife who encouraged Satrio to take various tests to enter Akabri."
" Kok, Asti see all this time Mr. Cahyadi and Bu Widya are okay?"
"No idea. Maybe they keep an image on the community there. Both men had high names and positions. But since retiring, it was Pak Cahyadi who more often lived with Lilis and their children in the suburbs of Purwokerto. They developed various food manufacturing businesses, opened a grocery store and cafe and were quite successful. While Mrs Widya lives in the city alone by relying on her pension!"
"Satrio often said that the business was his. Because he often styled with expensive and royal goods against his coworkers." Asti Report
" As long as Satrio stayed at his stepmother's house, Lilis treated Satrio well. Such was Lilis, Although she was young, but the person was slick, patient and always performing behind her husband. So Mr. Cahyadi is more comfortable in his wife's house than with Ms. Widya. They took Satrio in and accompanied 'em, until he was independent and married. Well, the upbringing of Widya and Eyangnya made Satrio a less responsible person. They're so spoiling him!"
" You haven't heard, either, To?"
" Hear what else, Bude?"
" Zahra gave birth two months ago. Exactly a week after Sister Sanjaya passed away. His daughter, but because it was too late to get help the baby experienced some obstacles. There are even rumors, if the baby Zahra was born with a defect in his left leg."
" Athaghfirullah!"
" If it's about Nanik, Susanto who knows better about the silly woman's problem . We'll ask him tomorrow! He was if he had talked to Joko, getting along... They may not sleep until the morning or stay up!"
In the morning Bude Diah took care of Akbar's needs with Bu Jum. Asti, Ms. Ning and Ninuk help each other in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Sure enough, it's exactly 07:00. Joko and Susanto emerge from the side door of Asti's house. They joined in for breakfast. Bude Diah wants to join Asti to the market while looking at Bulek Ratih and Lek No in the village.
She knew her mother would travel by car. Akbar started to fuss over asking to come along. Ninuk kept on teasing her. It's also funny to see Ninuk and Akbar fighting with the language of the planet.
" Guil guy!" ledek Ninuk's.
Akbar began to spell the words Ninuk rather difficult to pronounce. Akbar's mouth until the manyun kept on but could not mention the word!
" Boy, study till tomorrow!"
ledek Ninuk again.
Akbar where cares when he carried Bude Diah towards the fence in front of the house. Asti carefully pulled out his car guided by Mas Yanto. Simultaneously, out the entourage of Mr. Leon and two assistants from the front of the house of Bu RT. They will set out to head for the development project at the end of the village there.
" Hey, the champ wants to come with me to go, huh?" greet Mr. Leon.
Akbar smiled welcoming Mr. Leon. The boy waved his hand as a greeting.
" That's the guy from town named Leon? " Bude Diah's whisper to Bu Jum.
" Yes, Mom! " Absolutely replied, Ma Jum. Because Bu Jum is putting Akbar's briefcase in the trunk. Although Akbar needs much less than before because the child is getting bigger.
Asti will stop by the market first to see Dania's preparations to open a store. Bude Diah only buys market snacks that are preferred among the Ninuk. While Bu Jum guarded Akbar who started walking in the corridor of shops that were still not open all that morning.
" Here, Nang! " call Bu Jum when Akbar starts walking far away. The boy was very interested in the crowds of people shopping. Most are mothers who live around the market.
Akbar pointed at the balloon seller outside the market fence. The balloon has a different color and attracts many other small children.
Suddenly a young man handed over a red balloon to Akbar. Ms. Jum thanked me. When Akbar received the helium-filled object enthusiastically.
" Say what, same Deck Om?"
Akbar's thanks with his cute baby language. Greeted with dear elusan on the baby's cheek.
" Mom, take good care of Akbar. The market is starting to get crowded!"
" Yes, Om..! Soon Bu Jum was holding Akbar. Bu Jum just, saw that the man had entered the gold shop next to the store, where Asti was selling various women's clothes.
