" Neng Jenna, huh ?" asked the old man when he opened the gate from a thick and heavy layer of teak.
Jenna had already pushed the bell behind the high fence many times. This villa has a spacious courtyard and the best garden, which is located closest to the Damash villa. There is also a private swimming pool. As Jenna knew, Om Sidharta had not been seen again in his luxurious villa. Since before the covid outbreak came to the homeland.
" Yes, Mang Koya. Time forget me?"
" Don't forget! Only a long time ago also Neng Jena is not visible and rarely stop here. Strawberry plants in greenhouses have long been replaced with peppers, Non." he said politely. " It could be money!"
" Can you come in and have a little chat inside, Mang?" politely asked.
" Come, atuh. This is Neng Jenna's boyfriend, huh?" the old man asked as he invited the two guests that afternoon to come in and sit on the front porch of the main villa. That's when he realized the figure of a young man who was beside Jenna.
They enter, while pushing their respective motors. Understand that opened a smaller fence. Only fit for two people side by side of the road.
Keanu and one production staff asked Mang Koya for permission to look around the nice and luxurious villa. But the fence is pretty high. Most of the base of the concrete almost reaches 2 meters. The end is given a trellis iron with barbed wire.
Jenna smiled wryly." Mang Koya forgot, huh ? Same as this brat, here ! Who used to like to help Mamang if you are draining the fish pond behind this villa."
The man stared in disbelief. "This is Den Tedi? Ah, time? It's so cute now! It used to be mah, a bit thin body.Terus his skin is a bit dark. Little . Is this true Tedi's sister Neng Jenna?" ask again less sure.
"Yes, Mang! I'm Tedi, "tiedi kalem said
Mang Koya's face further wrinkled - wrinkled from thinking a little hard. Sometimes his mouth is not clear, willing to talk but not so.. " Hmm, how many years haven't you been here, Den? Maybe six years?"
Jenna laughed amusedly. " Just 2 years ago, Mang! We often came and stayed at the villa... But the gate of Villa Om Sidharta is never open, deh."
" Yes, Neng. Before covid, the Big Madam was already in a great pain. He was taken to several large hospitals in Jakarta also did not recover. Until someone tells you to take treatment abroad... Mr. Sidharta brought his mother and family to live there, so that the Big Lady can undergo treatment to completion. But unfortunately, the Big Lady also did not live long, Neng . He was treated for a few months, he died... They are still in that country. Can't go back as far as this."
" Where does Om Sidharta's family live now, Mang?"
" If not wrong, in Singapore, so, "said Si Mamang while scratching his head that does not itch.
" But these villas can still be rented, Mang?"
" Can, Neng! Only the back villa can not be rented. Especially for family members, only!
Neng Jenna wants to use this villa?"
" No, Mang... This Bang Tedi team wants to take the fim in the garden of this villa for advertising.This place is suitable because it is somewhat closed. Can you, Mang?" ask Jenna again.
" Can, can!"
" Yes, we've taken it till Sunday afternoon, can we?" sahut Tedi's.
" That's easy, Den Tedi! Wait a minute, let Nia prepare a drink first!"
There was a woman who brought them a warm drink to the table in front of her. There is also a plate of boiled cassava that is still reflecting the smoke, a new sign is lifted from the stove.
" This is his son, Mang Koya, right?" ask Jenna to know. Because that woman's face is a bit familiar.
" Yes, Non. I am Nia, Mang Koya's eldest child and Titin's mother... I used to live in Cianjur, in the village of my husband... Now I'm the same kids back here!"
" How many children, now, Tea?"
"Two, Non. Isn't this Non Jenna, General's grandson?" ask the woman again after closely observing Jenna's face and appearance.
" Yes!"
" A long time ago, Mr. Sidharta planted strawberries in the green house to give to Non Jenna and Non Karolina... Therefore, the seeds are imported from Europe. Unfortunately, now the green house is only planted with superior paprika seeds for sale in supermarkets ... Sometimes Mr. Sidharta still transfers money to Abah to pay for electricity. Because the cost for the maintenance of this villa is also very expensive, Non!"
" Did Teteh also plant vegetables whose land is in front of the Damash Villa?"
" Yes, I'm the same Ambu helped grow vegetables there. It's good to pay to buy additional side dishes and seasonings. That's the farm he owns, Mr. Damash, right?"
" yes. But Opa had long entrusted Mr. Suheri to remain planted with vegetables, and some hydroponic plants. Because all the vegetables have been supplied to some supermarkets in Jakarta."
Tedi just smiled... Has the economy of the Sidharta Amrin family fallen? Because he knows Om Sidharta is doing business by opening a showroom of cars and motorcycles from the manufacturer from Germany... He has several branches opened in Jakarta and Tangerang. While his wife's family has several stores of luxury goods such as bags, shoes or accessories imported from Italy or France. The store is in the most exclusive malls in Jakarta.
On the front porch, there was a bargaining price for the use of the villa for 2 days and 2 nights. Even until Bang Tedi offered special assistance to advertise the villa rental, through his social media. Usually places like this will be crowded before the weekend, long school holidays, new year also on holiday holidays.
If hired, of course there is more money, which Mang Koya will use to meet the needs of his family's life. From the need to eat and the rest is used to treat the villa to keep the beauty of the gardens. The flowers there, the seeds were brought from the hometown of Om Sidharta's father-in-law whose wife is a mixed Indonesian-German woman.
Apparently after being seen, the main villa in the front building was always kept clean. For meals, the Mang Koya family could not provide. But for the purposes of hot water and drinking water, his wife always prepares in the pantry. It was the building that became the connecting building between the main villa and the house where Mang Koya lived, which was made like a stilt house. Behind the villa were two large plots of fish ponds. Usually they keep goldfish and catfish.
Precisely busy preparation of Bang Tedi's work team to make the set of filming, it became a special spectacle for the children and grandchildren of Mang Koya. They can watch the shooting later in a place that is far away and protected is also prohibited from making noise.
In the main villa there are five rooms that are quite comfortable and spacious, with two separate bathrooms. Bang Tedi's men immediately arranged a line. Each room will be filled with two or three people. There are 4 female team members who are placed in two different rooms, which are smaller. While the men, share each other in the other three rooms. Expensive equipment such as some cameras, and other supporting devices are stored in the living room, in a large locked cabinet.
At Villa Damash the atmosphere is more festive lag, because there are many people staying there... Besides Opa Damash and his wife. Aunt Ismaya also brought her husband and daughter to stay the night. The couple occupied the bedroom downstairs. Also two more rooms were occupied by Karolina with Efron, another room was used by sister Fani and Mbok Nah, ART which Karolina brought from her parents' home in Sentul, Indonesia, to help them cook great.Because that will be fed more than ten people.
In the upper room, Jenna occupies her national room, with her own mini-balcony. Overlooking the side garden. But Noura, the son of Om Jhon did not refuse to sleep with Jenna in the room is quite spacious, comfortable and clean.
They each stayed one room, namely Bang Tedi, Keanu and Rara. Because there are five rooms with rooms that are not too big but warm and comfortable.
In the past, usually if many children who come and stay in this villa, will be held several folding mattresses in the large middle room. So they will sleep together, with a folding mattress lined up to fill all the middle space.
The children will bring their own blankets and pillows . Talking and joking, before bed. They sometimes look at the glass windows that show the darkness of the night. But there were a lot of fireflies flying over the farm, as well as a large field under the villa there.
