Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 10. For the Happiness of Bude Ayu
Only yesterday Satrio and his parents returned to Purwokerto. The big house was back to silence. Not every day Bude Ayu departs with Asti to the market. Though Bulek Ratih somewhat bothered to shake Bude Ayu back home - go to the market.
Although Lek No needed the second wheeled vehicle to monitor to the rice fields that are located the furthest, at the end of their village . He relented for the sake of Bude Ayu.
" De, if you catch a cold or still tired . Rest first at home! Poor Bulek Ratih brought an old motorcycle on the ugly road..."
Bude Ayu massaged his stiff shoulder." Understand this old Budemu. After the streets, the body even hurts all, huh? "
" Want to be called Mbah Muji, what?"
Asti Tawar.
Almost a month ago the old Mbah who lived near the bamboo forest came to massage the people in this house for the third time.
" It's easy, tomorrow afternoon. Let Si No call."
Asti approached Budenya who was still sitting on a large bench in the living room. "Why didn't Bude participate in Pak Haji Anwar's program for Umrah this year, De?"
" I want to be with one family, Asti. Uh, Lek No money even used to pay for Ninuk's new school as well as the boarding place."
" What are we going to do next year? Who knows, Lek No got the guy who's gonna bantong harvest our coconuts again ?"
It seems that Bude Ayu's face is still less convincing. He thought for a long time. " I'm afraid I'm not old enough, Asti ..."
" Bud!" Asti protests are hard." Don't say that, ah!"
" That's Asti , which Bude confused. Fear of not being able to always accompany you until marriage. What do you want to choose, for your future husband?"
" Can I choose ? Everyone is afraid of me. Afraid of getting cursed, De! "answered by Asti masygul.
"You are beautiful, Sholehah, independently know toto kromo Javanese. If Si Kusno is the same Satrio does not want to be with you. Well, that guy's the one who lost!"
" Oh, Bude, what's the matter, anyway?"
Asti's voice became stammered, between disbelief and shame.
" Come on, who do you want to choose? Kusno said he was still trying to convince his parents because he had to convert to our religion. But if Satrio, the parents agree, yes! "
The woman continued to stroke his nephew's hand. Asti's tears slowly. By Allah! Asti is very afraid of being abandoned by Budenya, if the age of the woman is not long. She must be alone. No relatives are listed as members of the Winangun family.
" I'm up to Bude, which is best!"
"Yes, I'll talk to Satrio's father later, huh? Waduh Bude happy, really... The fraternal rope of the Pakde Sanjaya family and your daughter Mbah reunited. Allah Akbar! "
Lek No and Bulek Ratih so excited when tomorrow afternoon called and invited. Moreover, relatives from Mbah Sanjaya come on Sunday. Until Asti closes the shop. Of all the happiest and happiest things is Bude Ayu. The woman continued to smile as the elders began to set up various plans.
Almost 2 weeks later, Satrio came with both parents and some relatives . He also came with a group from the great family of Princess Sri Sumiarsih Mbah who came from Boyolali.
It turns out that the man proposed to Asti officially in a simple engagement event.
Again the elders and neighbors of Asti who are considered to be elder and respected are involved in the event. Satrio not only gave her an engagement ring. The man also brought a set of gold jewelry he bought in the city of Semarang .
Funnily enough, the young man became calmer because he was among the parents who would continue to mendukan to determine the good day of their marriage.
Mr. Wiryo Danang who is still a brother away from Asti's father carefully counts the weton or the birthdays of the two couples. After a long discussion.
Finally, their wedding day was decided between two or three months. It's just that surprisingly Satrio get a new task instead placed on the police in the district capital in this area.
News about Asti's marriage until also heard by people who trade in the market. Some who knew the girl prayed for her plan to be smooth until their wedding day. In fact, there is one person who is very disappointed to hear that, namely, Mas Kusno.
The man's face grew cloudy. It's not just the buyers' mothers at her gold shop who come from the bustling Asti village talking about the girl's luck getting a husband in a police uniform. Even the two female guards in the Scintillating Gold Shop were also busy gossiping. Because there is no wind, there is no rain, suddenly there is news of Asti's marriage.
For young women or young girls who follow the association of young people today, Asti's life is very monotonous. They never saw Asti close to anyone's youth. It doesn't sound like dating or getting married!
Asti began with his daily activities back without being disturbed by the words of the people he met. He's been acting like that for a long time. Maybe since she was a junior high. People who are kind to him will respect him. But the one who insults and mentally knocks him down does not consider! Do we care about people who often look for other people's mistakes as a tool to bring us down?
Bude Ayu, Bulek Ratih and Lek No began to prepare various needs for the wedding. Bude has opened a warehouse by storing sacks of rice, white sugar and wheat flour as well as spices and food ingredients that are durable.
How else! Even if you live in a remote village, if you hold a wedding, you also have to tell the crowd. Especially neighbors throughout the village. That means they have to spend more money, because there are many people who have to be fed or get treats.
Satrio came back for their wedding for a month. It turned out that the young man brought his eldest brother who settled in Solo with his family.
The plan is that they will shop for various needs. So Asti must come along because some of the goods are for his personal needs as a prospective bride. From prayer supplies, make up, dresses, underwear to jewelry and accessories in the form of bags and shoes
It seems that Ninuk happily accompanied her sister to shop with her future husband's family. They were picked up by Satrio early in the morning and then headed to Sasha's House in the city.
Many times Asti had to pinch Ninuk's waist because it often missed when visiting somewhere. Ninuk was amazed bin confused when Mbak Sasya took them to a special hijab boutique to buy some of Asti's needs there.
In addition to a luxurious and good place, the price is also expensive. Ninuk hands until trembling when on a whim he saw the price of hijab dresses for young women installed in mannequins. When he saw the label it cost him over a million.
The dress was according to Ninuk's usual model! Whereas Mbak Sasha chose a hijab dress that came from Turkey for Asti.
Not to mention when they go upstairs full of handbags, party bags or clutches. The price makes Ninuk's eyes whizzing, because the price of a branded handbag can buy a new matic motor for him.
On the way home, Ninuk fell silent on the back bench. Either the ABG is full because they had dinner at a big restaurant. Or he was shocked to see how different the rich man's way of life in the city was to him living in the village, which was simply.
