A Friend to Jenna

A Friend to Jenna
Chapters 117. After Returning Home


The atmosphere of the salon at the Kebayoran Baru branch is quite crowded, presumably able to distract Jenna. All the unpleasant things that happened in the Flower Villa, were immediately removed from his mind. Now he is back to focusing on his work.


Sister Arini hugged her tightly, because almost 3 weeks Jenna did not appear in this place. So she misses Jenna who has always been her friend discussing everything. Especially related to the activities in the salon.


At the table in the kitchen for employees, there was a pile of special food from Puncak, souvenirs that Jenna brought this morning. There is a banana sale, various types of chips to Cilembu baked sweet potatoes that are inserted in a plastic container. Not to mention the assortment of cakes from typical Bogor taras with various variations.


Salon goods have been sent by the supplier to the place. From household items, such as detergents, hand washes, to fragrant carboles for the floor... There is also one more cardboard for the salon itself. The goods are in the form of shampoo, hair tonic, various types of hair masks, and others.


With the help of one OB person, the goods are removed from the cardboard and stored in a storage cabinet. As for the purposes of the salon, immediately put back into the cardboard after being counted and matched with the amount in the shopping receipt.


" It's done, Jenna?"


" It looks like it's done. If it is to be used as an advertisement, it has its own field... Maybe next month, it can be raised, anyway!"


" Said Mbak Hera, Rara is very beautiful and good when shooting the ad"


" Well, she's very talented at being a model. His son is young but determined, patient and hardworking!"


" Don't you want to see Tania's latest movie?" ask Arini again.


Suddenly, Jenna laughed." Let's wait, Ma'am! Is there a viral incident that befell the girl that makes the film a lot of people watch!"


" Ih, if only to become famous by making a sensation. Not really, deh!"


" What, why?" ask Jenna innocent.


" Surely that person can't act! So actually the film is not good if we watch !" obviously, Arini firmly.


During the break, some salon workers were tasting Jenna's souvenirs placed on the kitchen table on the first floor. It turns out that the actual cheap souvenirs actually make them happy and cheering a lot...


" Let's guess, why the sweet potato if we burn ourselves at home is not as good as the burnt in the place we buy it?" ask Ms. Arini to the person in the room.


" It must be the yam, not from Cilembu!" answer the other simple - sahutan." It must be from another traditional market!"


" Wrong!"


That's how the conversation dime salon workers, OB to security officers. They also asked an OB to buy them lunch at a warteg.


Jenna is attracted by the arrival of two young men from outside this building. From his seat, in front of the reception desk it looks like Bang Miko and one person from one creative team member who worked on the advertisement.


" Assalamu'alaikum, Miss Jenna!" Sapa Bang Miko polite.


Jenna looked at her guest a little suspiciously. " Greetings walaikum!"


" We're disturbing, aren't we? Because I'd like to ask you for a minute to talk to Jenna's mom!"


" Oh, can! " Answer Jenna.


" Sir Arini, please my order rice please save first, yes!" pinta Jenna on Ma'am Arini.


" Come, Bang! We're going to my study on the second floor!"


Jenna led the way first. They climbed a few stairs to the second floor. Jenna pushed a room with a thick glass door, after entering a large room with a comfortable bench with a large mirror in front of the bench.


" I'm sorry, you know from whom. What if I was in the salon?"


" We asked Ismaya's mother. Sorry, Ma'am! Mr. Tedi has already banned me from involving Ms. Jenna in the events at the Peak. He certainly loved and protected Ms. Jenna ..."


Jenna invited the two men to sit in the guest chair which is quite simple. He immediately took out two bottles of mineral water while from his mini cooler, also opening one souvenir container in a transparent plastic jar.


" I'm Arkan, Ma'am! I'm the one in the room with Robi!" said the young man introduced himself.


" Look at Jenna... Can you help him? For a few nights he could not sleep well... Like there's people trying to interrupt and keep him awake often, until hours later...."


" So Bang Miko... Am I a psychic or a shaman? So as to expel the evil spirit that bothers him?" jenna asked firmly.


" No, it's not so! This Arkan and Robi, maybe inadvertently they were talking silly or slovenly and did not intend to challenge the existence of that creature that was there!"


Jenna let out a slight feeling of tightness that squeezed her chest. " I was honest yesterday! If I have no skills - what. Only I am a little sensitive about all the changes happening around ... Please seek your own help! There may be one of those relatives who can! Not shaman or psychic . But more like ustad or kyai, the high science of his religion. Isn't Bang Arkan always a faith, every creative team holds congregational prayers at Damash's villa, right?"


Bang Miko stared intently. " Please Jenna! This is very disturbing to us. Arkan so not focused on completing the project from Ismaya's mother!"


" Maybe Bang Miko should go back to the Flower Villa, to ask Mang Koya, the villa guard there. Because the Mamang people are native to the area. There were one or two people who could be asked for help. Just one, my request. Bang Arkan, do not like to challenge such creatures even though invisible. You are quite strong in the science of religion and worship... But, still the creature does not like the way you talk!"


Tears from the young man named Arkan were shed. Jenna doesn't recognize him. In just a period of not up to a week, very drastic appearance of the man. He looked lackluster, his face was thin and pale. His body weight is rapidly decreasing. Maybe because of lack of sleep, so he had a lot of thoughts, not good to eat and always tired.


Bang Miko is approaching Jenna." Sorry, Arkan also from the beginning did not admit it while in the villa there. He didn't mean to be a coward! He didn't realize it... Until these few days, it was like there was a shadow of someone continuing to follow him.."


" He graduated from a boarding school, right? Sometimes such a young man is not a subtle creature or his countrymen, who must be conquered. But he must conquer himself, so as not to become takabur!" jenna said slowly.


" Sorry, actually Mr. Tedi has often warned me! Your feelings are very sensitive, right? You do something just to protect your family. But Ma'am Hera and Mas Fajar moved out of your villa too out of fear right?"


Jenna just nodded slowly. " I know the teachings of my religion, thanks to the guidance of Grandpa Guru Amir... But I am not a religious expert, let alone a worship expert. See how I dress that is not hijab, because Opa Damash still frees me to seek out as many experiences as possible. That's what I do now to learn about whatever's in society..."


They finally had a normal conversation. Sometimes Arkan's eyes looked at Jenna with a different look... Well, Jenna's scared too! Arkan has to help himself. Until they say goodbye after a long conversation in the room.


" That conversation was very serious Jenna?" whispered Mbak Arini who came to him suddenly.


Jenna's chest is pounding hard. Never had Jenna seen the face of Mbak Arini like this, between kepo, suspicious and a little scared. So his eyes are slightly bulging, with a slightly monty mouth shape.


" Did Mbah Hera also tell the story of events in his nature while living in the Villa?"


" A little, anyway!"


" At least, how many more people heard that story?"


" Maybe Lydia also heard, kali!"


" Hmm, long time also all the workers in these two salons also heard all the stories. Then what is told by Hera's mother ?"


" He said that while putting Rara on makeup that morning, they saw a white cloth fluttering in one of the rooms that the boys used ...Think Hera, maybe there is one team child who is still in his room is cleaning up. Because everyone is busy in the field working together to prepare some sets for shooting."


" Continue?"


" The white cloth was floating for the second time, Mas Fajar who became curious... Masa, in the men's room there is a girl who prays Dhuha there... When you look, the room is empty. There were only piles of clothes bags on the floor. Typical of a messy boys' room. However, he did not find a single piece of cloth that was white, as they had seen before!"


" Didn't they tell me, so they moved to sleep in Opa Damash's villa. After it happened there just last night. Coincidentally the crew was placed in the villa that Bang Tedi had rented. Whereas all the families, including Keanu and Rara live in our villa."


" What is the reason Mba Hera and Mas Fajar asked to move, Ms Jenna?"


" He said all night they heard people going back and forth opening the doors of bedrooms and bathrooms. In the villa there are two bathrooms, but the bathroom is located outside the room... It is precisely the room of Mbak Hera and Mas Fajar closest to the bathroom!"


" Sh, serem too, yeah. Then!"


" In fact, we rarely hear the serem stories from the villas there. Unremarkable. I'm sure there must be someone who wants to play and play, Ms. Arini. Understandably they used to hold the camera, and are still young again. So challenged to do something. There are those who say rude or careless to challenge the creature to appear. Yes appear!"
