Asti Girl Carrying the Curse
Chapters 94. The Dania Falls
Dania's feelings are starting to get uncomfortable. Asti's eyes looked at number after number in passing. But he knew, there were several pieces of goods sold below the price agreed by Asti.
" That's my shirt for an example, have you handed it over to the convection guy yet?"
" Which clothes are, yes. Ma'am?"
"'Three blouses and one hijab in a blue crackle bag. It's written on plastic, it's my name. Also a message for Ms. Shawa. That's an example shirt that Ibu Sahwa will use to make 1 kodi each for the next month..."
Dania's face was pale. " That's an example shirt?"
" Yes Dania, that sample dress is my own. The model is the same but by using cheaper materials.it's expensive clothes, you know! Because it is specially sewn by Mbak Silvana Ajeng Dewi, a famous Muslim dress designer. The shop is in Solo. You don't see my name written on the back of his neck?"
Every time Asti spoke, Dania's face was getting bowed. He looked scared, a little anxious and started to be unsettled.
" Dania what's wrong? How come you're so pale. You Sick?"
" About the sample shirt I don't understand, Ma'am?"
" That's an example shirt that you should love when an employee from the convection comes to the store to deliver goods. What example of that shirt have you given to Mas Jarot?"
" Uh. Oh, not yet, Mommy?"
" Dania what are you talking about? You told me you had to be honest and trustworthy! " Asti's voice began to rise.
" I forgot to hand over that sample shirt...."
" Where's my sample shirt now, Dania?"
" It's home, Ma'am."
Asti fell silent and looked sharply at Dania. " I didn't tell you to take my clothes to your house! But it was given to the courier who came from Bu Shawa's convection!"
Tears of Dania began to drip. Never had he seen Madam Asti speak this loud with such an angry face.
" What are you doing with my clothes? Two of those clothes cost more than your salary. I only wear it once or twice. Because the shirt was part of the present on my wedding day ..."
For a moment Dania was silent. Both of his hands rested on his lap and were rubbed - rubbing to reduce his anxiety and fear.
" I'm disappointed in you, Dania! Are you not working in my shop anymore? The pay is less, huh? Yes, Dania tomorrow you bring me back my clothes. Where's the store key, now?"
Dania's crying is getting louder. While handing over the store key, two large lock keys and one key for the money box are installed on one of the store walls. Until Lek No and Bulek Ratih quickly descended from the second floor. For a long time, Asti did not like being lied to. Dania has made Asti very angry and disappointed.
" You go home now. If my shirt is not returned to the store, tomorrow morning. I assume you quit your job. You want to continue with package C. I've given up my responsibilities!"
" My mother is sorry, I was wrong..."
Dania was shocked when she saw the arrival of the two Ninuk parents. They immediately sat down next to Asti who still could not relieve his tightness from being very angry.
" Mister Lek and Bulek are disappointed with you Dania... It is up to you if you do not want to work at the Asti store should say well. Not cheating and lying! What are you planning to do with that Jago?" Ask Lek No loudly.
Dania's face when looking at the two Ninuk parents was like a lifeless person!
" There's no plan, Mr. Lek. We're just friends and we're just talking."
" And you are a good woman. Can't do if you choose a male friend who is a bit right how to dress, work instead of a punk gang child is not clear it. If they're a criminal, you'll get carried away and go to jail!"
It turns out Lek No has often monitored his movements during this time. Moreover, Lek No may know that he often hangs out in the square after returning to study at the District Hall.
Even Joko had anticipated by replacing the padlock and the Asti store key after getting the spare key. He called a famous locksmith, who had a shop across the market.
The young man had been informed that Dania had been close to the Jago for a long time. He was not a native youth of this area, so it was quite recognizable to Joko's comrades, as it was not part of them.
" Beware, Mas Joko. Next time, let Madam Asti alone hold the store key. Don't trust a young female employee who's easily fooled by an irresponsible man." Advice father who is changing the store padlock and money box key at Asti store.
The installation of a new key takes approximately one hour. Although it is a bit of a loss also because it costs more than two hundred thousand to buy all the new keys and padlocks. As long as the store is safe. Think Joko.
Asti's shop was bought by Bude Ayu from a disputed rice field by Kushari's sisters-in-law. Her ex-husband.
Instead of a prolonged storm, the rice fields bordering the Kushari family-owned rice fields were sold, and bought a shop in the market for Asti to open a business.
Asti also issued capital from savings given Mbah Harjo Winangun. Because he used to have the desire to study in Yogyakarta or Semarang.
Now that money by Asti is spent on various kinds of women's clothes and accessories. Because the Muslimah shop owned by Asti is known for its cheap price with good quality and the model is always the latest.
It's worth Asti to fall ill because of this problem caused by Dania!
Not the case of rupiah issued, but honesty is very important for people who work with Asti. He has helped his parents and family. It is painful to be lied to and used.
The next morning Dania came to the store with the package of clothes in a blue crackle. All the writing on the transparent plastic has been removed. Even the best clothes smell of detergent. The sign has been used frequently Dania. Though Asti used to have to bring it to the laundry because the material semi-silk and batik writing it must get special treatment when washing it.
Dania had to wait patiently for Asti's arrival until more than 30 minutes. Before Asti came. The shop is still locked. It was only today that Asti returned to the market, having rested more than a week agar from her illness.
The woman was carrying her car because there was Akbar, Bu Jum and one young girl who was the other as passengers. The girl was very sweet and dressed in a neater, covered hijab.
Dania helped open the store lock. He didn't realize that all the keys and locks were new. Yesterday Mr. Waldi had outsmarted him by burning all the padlocks on the coals for a while, to make it look like a long time. He and Joko anticipate to face various unexpected events and attacks later.
Mr. Waldi also lives behind the building. He often saw young people whose somewhat unfamiliar faces were gathered near the plaza. Even they like to hang out until the early hours while drunk even though not on Sunday night.
Dania did not dwell when many items were sold but not written from the report. He thinks Asti is not thorough. Though Asti always gave the code to the containers of the goods. Asti felt the change of Dania since the girl joined the C package learning activities in the district.
" Dania, Sorry. I gave this to the severance. No need to come to this store tomorrow! Now this Puspitasari will be working in this store in your place."
The girl took the envelope given by Asti. With trembling hands. But she continued to cry without a sound. Since this morning, Asti's treatment was ordinary.
It turns out this is how Asti punishes him. He was also unsure how much money he would need to reimburse for the fraud he had committed over the past four months.
" I'm sorry, Madam Asti! I was wrong a lot ... Please don't tell my parents about this!"
" I'm sorry too, Dania. If you can't give you a bigger wage than you want! My message is, if you work elsewhere you must be honest and maintain trust when trusted by someone."
Dania said goodbye while greeting Asti with reverence. He looked at the face of the young girl sitting beside Madam Asti. A girl who is the same age. The girl was silent because she understood that. Since Mas Firman invited him to Asti's house who asked him to work to keep his shop in the market.
" Continue your studies at the district hall I've paid all those fees until you get a certificate and diploma. Hope it's good for life!"
" Thank you, Madam Asti!"
The departure of Dania along with the reverberation of Azan Dhuhur. But only Bu Jum who shed tears because of tofu, the dismissal was because of his own carelessness.
Bu Jum also knew both of Dania's parents. Because they are neighboring villages that are located a little far behind the market that live very simply.
"' said Mas Firman he was dating one of the young people hanging out in the square there, Ma'am!" Bisik Puspita was a bit hesitant.
" Maybe it was her boyfriend who made Dania change a lot and care less about her job!"
"Sorry, Mom! Dania used to be a bit lazy while in school in Junior High. He had already received tuition assistance from the school!"
"You know Dania, Puspita?"
"'It looks like we're a force, deh. Just a different class! Understandably at that time our generation received students more than 8 classes. Less familiar with other friends. But there are some students who are less able to get help from the local government so as not to DO. Including Dania!"
