Santet Bride
The Part 25

Pondok Indah Housing where Arga and Rasti live.

A few months since Rasti performed the gold-pile and jinn-marriage ritual, the Rasti and Arga household looked fine and more and more friendly, there were only a few changes that seemed so striking. Rasti, which usually does not seem to be loved by many men, has now suddenly become very popular among any man he meets while traveling. Not even a few of the striped-nose men dared to ask to get acquainted with him even though there was Arga standing next to him.

Arga who over time was embarrassed by the situation admonished Rasti not to seek the attention of men other than himself, but Arga's reprimand was ignored by Rasti because he was happy with the various attention he received, until it again sparked a quarrel between them.

"Rasti! As your priest, I don't like to see you receiving all the too much attention from men other than me! From now on, you better stay home, don't go anywhere else! If you want to go, you have to go with me and have to wear clothes that are covered, do not invite such lust," said Arga firmly.

"Ih, Mas Arga need not be too much. Time is only rich so I play forbid I go anyway! Besides Mas Arga also know, I always wear clothes like this. I'm not used to having to wear long, hot clothes!" Rasti protested against Arga who started banning him from leaving the house and also had to wear long clothes when traveling.

"You said I'm lebay?! I am your husband! The man who takes full responsibility for all your deeds, your words and your clothes, I will bear his sins if you will! And that's what you say, I'm more?! Where's your wits, Rasti!" Arga's tone of voice began to rise to hear the term lebay addressed to him.

After expressing her heart, Arga left Rasti alone. Arga was completely out of thought with his wife, who very easily said that she was too much because she had asked the woman to wear more closed clothes when she left the house.

For a while, Arga felt his wife was now starting to change. Arga recalled, since Rasti's return after nursing home one of his former coworkers at Garuda Nusa Televisi first, his wife was somewhat changed especially from appearance and habits. Yes, Rasti's appearance is now different from usual, Rasti has always disliked long clothes but still knows the limits of politeness. But since re-installing, Rasti more often choose clothes that spread makeup.

'Rasti ... Rasti, why did you turn out like this. What's wrong with you?' Arga complains inwardly as she restores her hair, frustrated.

Indeed, Arga felt very upset with the changes that happened to Rasti, his wife. He did not know what had made his wife change in such a way, 'God ... What happened to Rasti, what happened to him? Why did he become like this?! Haha!' grunts Arga upset.

Meanwhile outside, Rasti is still busy serving the request of some men who are busy inviting himself to get acquainted without realizing there is an invisible man watching him. The invisible man grinned happily to see Rasti in the approach of many adam, the invisible figure was happy because Rasti was really determined to be his slave as before. The invisible figure is none other than Ganendra, Rasti's magical husband as well as the incarnation of the demon ally Mbah Kromo.

"Good, Rasti. Take out your charms, the snares of all the men with your golden charms, bow them with your eyes and the beauty of your body. Be my slave, be my true slave. Ahaha!" Ganendra then disappeared from that place.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Jakarta, Kania has just arrived at PT. Andara Steel Mining, a steel mill owned by Irvan Prasetyo, his father. From the time he got off the car to get into his office, Kania became the center of attention of all factory employees. Not only because he was the owner of the company but because they saw the appearance of Kania which was much different from usual. The woman looks more beautiful, vibrant, shining, charismatic and charming.

Kania was not unaware that all of her employees were looking at her in such a way. However, he deliberately kept it looking like the days before.

"Good morning everyone! How was your morning? I hope you all feel excited this morning! Okay fine! Please continue your work! Good mornin! Kania greeted several employees and women who still seemed to be in a group in front of their respective cubicles, then passed with the elevator that took him to his office.

"Eh, don't you see? Miss Kania this morning looks so different, right? More beautiful, shining, and charming" said one of the male employees there.

"Yes, really. I was just up to look at Bu Kania, if I was still single, I could be reckless as his wife. It's a shame I just got married," a male employee joked who immediately reaped scorn from his other friends.

Arriving in his office, Kania was immediately preoccupied with the agenda of meetings with several potential investors as well as various important documents that require his signature. All the work he did was quick and quick, so that it is not until past lunch time all the documents he has signed just completed one more meeting with two of the five prospective clients he must meet today.

Kania was just about to straighten her waist when the phone in her room rang.

The crane! The crane! The crane! The crane!

[Yes. Hello, Kania's speaking. (With Kania here).] Greet Kania as soon as he picks up his phone.

[Good day, Miss Kania. Sorry if Sita interfered with Mom's time. I just want to say below there are guests want to meet with Mom, but earlier he said there was no appointment with Mom. Are you willing to accept or be sent back tomorrow?] Sita, Kania's private secretary apparently called, informing her that someone wanted to meet Kania.

[It's okay, Sita (nothing, Sita). Who wants to see me? If I know let me meet now.] asked Kania to Sita.

[The receptionist said his name was Mr. Andra, ma'am. But I'm sorry, Mom, he said he wanted to meet Ms. Kania, whose position as staff personnel, Mom. So you want to accept or refuse?] sita asked back in a curious tone, full of curiosity.

[Have him wait in the lobby, I'll come down. Oh yes, please tell the whole division including the receptionist and the security that I am here only a regular staff of personnel, not the leader. Understand!] Kania gave orders to Sita who was immediately agreed by the sweet girl who became her personal secretary.

[Good, Mom. I will convey. Good afternoon, Ms. Kania.] Sita replied and hung up.

Kania smiled at Sita's curiosity, she could tell that her secretary was so curious why she had to hide her status from the man named Andra. It was intentional by Kania, she did not want Andra to know how many assets her family owned.

He only wanted Andra to know him as a mediocre Kania, a very easy Kania to forgive the mistakes of anyone who had injured him without leaving the slightest bit of resentment in his heart. Kania does that with the intention of smoothing out her revenge on Andra.

Before descending to meet Andra in the lobby, Kania took a bottle of Mahesa's gift this morning and re-applied the contents in the dozens of pulse parts of his body, and did not forget the brief recitation of the pity study of his rocking jaran. After preparing the study of mercy, Kania went down to come to Andra.

"Hi, Mas Andra. Sorry, long wait for Kania. Kania again many dateline earlier from the boss, so it must be completed first and then can go down Mas Andra." Kania greeted Andra with the best smile she had once she met the handsome young man.

"Eh, hi. Nothing, I'm wrong too, don't say anything about coming here. You, have you eaten yet? If not, will you eat with me?" Andra invites Kania to have lunch with her.

"Mmm, can. For a moment I said first to the receptionist yes, let if my boss finds me, he easily answered," said Kania.

Andra nodded her head in response to Kania's statement just now. Once approved by Andra, Kania goes straight to the reception desk and leaves a message that she will be out for lunch for a while.

After the receptionist received her message, Kania returned to visit Andra who was waiting for Kania. Andra who saw Kania coming to him immediately gave her best smile to Kania.

"Come, Mas. We're walking now. I died at the same receptionist. I'm a really laper, here." Kania grabs Andra's hand and invites her to walk out.

The new Andra held hands with Kania, frozen in her steps. Really Kania who is now so different, Kania is now more courageous to show herself and her charm. But for Andra it was fun because it meant Kania was now more confident than ever.

Kania who knew Andra flinching turned her face back. Seeing that Andra was staring at him intensely, with both eyebrows raised, Kania asked Andra, "Mas, how come? Where do I feel rich again? Is there something wrong with me? So no lunch, if so let's hunt. My break time is up." Kania urged Andra to hurry.

"Eh, yes sorry. I'm just so fascinated by you, Kania. You are so beautiful, and .. ah, that's it. Let's go," asked Andra while grabbing Kania's hand and holding her out.

Without Andra noticing that there was a line of smirk on Kania's lips, she was delighted that Andra had so easily slipped into the trap she had set.
