A Friend to Jenna
Chapters 142. Opa Damash event in Sentul

Jenna came with her mother while visiting Opa Damash and Oma Frida at her residence in Sentul, West Java. They were delivered by Mr. Muh. The afternoon trip from Pasar Minggu to Pak Feri Darmawan's parents' house, was crowded smoothly after the vehicle entered the Jagorawi toll road towards Bogor.

In the back of the trunk has been brought two large fruit parcels and a specially ordered tampah cake on Aunt Citra. Doctor Arunika always subscribed to his best friend who opened a small shop in front of his house.The store prepared pastries and pastries in front of his house. But the woman still received various orders from all her subscriptions. From a variety of traditional cakes, birthday cakes, to tampah cakes.

Tampah cake made by Aunt Citra is very special. Because the size of the traditional cake is rather small, so that one cake can be directly eaten. Perhaps because the cake was arranged beautifully and placed on a tray made of woven bamboo called tampah. The cultivation comes from the Javanese language. Therefore, the cake is called a cake.

The large house in the special complex of the Damash family residence seems to have many guests. It can be seen from the number of private cars that line up from the front gate to the special parking lot in the east. It was there that most of the guests' cars were parked on a large area that had been flattened and plastered neatly with cone blocks.

It was on the field that the Opa grandchildren used to play, while spending the holidays here. Sometimes the field can be an arena by the raga from football, badminton to basketball. Often also to play a bicycle or compete in agility fights during the celebration of Independence Day RI.

Maybe the generation of great-grandfather like Efron and his cousin who later will return to play in that place. But unfortunately, the grandchildren of Opa Damash have different educational backgrounds, ideals and jobs.

Like Mas Bayu Aji who is the oldest grandson, fulfilling his father's challenge.Pak Feri Darmawan to open a branch of the company in Medan. In fact, that effort worked. So that his wife and child are very comfortable to leave in the city of Medan.

Another with Tama, his son Om Danang and Aunt Wiwie, he and his twins settled in Purwokerto, Central Java. It was there that Tama was placed for his three-year service. Om Danang's eldest son also entered the military, following in the footsteps of the Opa and his father.

The thanksgiving event was actually triggered from the lips of Oma Frida for a long time. The initial plan was only for gathering between his extended family. So that Mas Bayu Aji, Tama and Om Sungkono can come to Sentul.

As it turned out, Grandma Desti, a close acquaintance of Oma Frida approached the plan. The news spread to other people's ears. Be they very hopeful soon to be able to go to Sentul.After the recovery period of Opa Damash which is more than a year.

There were some good friends and colleagues during Opa Damash who served to have heard first. So that the celebration is even now a reunion, family gathering or meeting kangen. That's so...

Anyway, the two-story mansion was already filled with friends, business friends and colleagues in his service in the unity first.. Until some neighbors in the housing around this who are community leaders also came.

Arunika's mother, pulled her daughter's hand to walk with her through the front door of her main house-in-law. Jenna can't dodge anymore! While Mr. Muh was assisted by several special officers and ARTs to remove the luggage of the oldest daughter-in-law of his employer from the trunk of the Honda CRV car.

Jenna doesn't really like gatherings like this. Especially if parents, such as retired officials in government agencies or retired entrepreneurs, start talking about arranged marriages! Usually, he ended up getting caught up in the search for a mate like that...Even he is considered a potential candidate as a prospective dream daughter-in-law in their family.

Eits, not yet! Jenna is still traumatized by what happened. Especially with a man feels his identity is the best! Because it comes from the same world as Opa Damash.But can not maintain self-discipline and religious aqidah...Even like a loser, for not wanting to take responsibility after impregnating people's girls!

Indeed not all the elders were talking about the success of their family's life! Especially with regards to the sheer amount of material they could gather! Still, they should know that the success of one's life is not only in a material sense!

That person can enjoy a healthy life, making others happy, comfortable. Or his ideas, services and hard work benefit others!

" Arunika, Jenna?" exclaim Opa Damash happy. The old man immediately stopped his conversation with his friends. Inevitably Jena had to go to his friends Opa Damash who were mostly great people in his youth. Of course with a high position and considerable income. Because they live in old age with well-established and guaranteed.

Jenna finally greeted them, one by one. While the mother just clenched her two palms. Although not veiled, the mother had twice umrah, the first with her parents and sisters. Four years ago she was with her husband.

" Yes, he still works here and there, while looking for experience! Maybe Feri will put this kid on his company branch in Bali! Instead of him being a backpacker and going around the world. It's not clear!"Ledek Opa while hugging Jenna's shoulder full of affection

" Ih, Opa don't hallucinate, deh! Jenna was willing to learn kung fu in the bamboo curtain country directly to the experts!"

" Not that's a panda, huh?" exclaimed Opa Damash's friend who had been sitting next to him. The old man most often likes to wear a beret hat like a military member. He is a former hotelier and cafe. Now all the efforts were left to his children and son-in-law.After his wife died.

Mr. Solihin, another close friend of Opa Damash who used to enjoy cycling ontel around the Sentul area and Bogor laughed amusedly.

" Study style just now with me Jenna, it's already my patent too, really! Especially to face the most dangerous enemies!"

" Are you sure Grandpa Solihin has that kind of style? Opa Damash said, when cycling together, passing in a settlement, Grandpa rode his bike faster just because there was a barking dog. Opa Damash is dead!"

Jenna was starting to not believe it. The grandfather is most often joking and has a joke-joke silly, strange and sometimes a bit porno too, but without the presence of a former official in a government-owned department, surely the association of parents must be they become lonely.

" Yes, that's the step of a thousand, which is meant.He, he, he," said the old man tampa guilt.

Everyone laughed at Grandpa Solihin's ridiculous chatter. The atmosphere became increasingly boisterous with ridicule and taunts of other old men. Not unlike the attitude of this teenager like back in the 60s.

"Jenna also has a new flagship style, Cake!" Jenna said with a sweet smile.

" What is it, son?" Ask Grandpa Solihin more kepo than the neighboring mothers who live in densely populated settlements.

" Travel without a shadow, aka all drugs...Jenna wants to see Oma Frida inside!" said Jenna immediately passed, went into another room, looking for my dear Oma.

The laughter grew louder. Moreover, jokingly there are other friends who push the typical hat owned by Mr. Abay Solihin, who is always worn out of the house.

Preparations for parcels of orphans in some nearby Orphanage have been put into large boxes. Aunt Tyas, Amanda's Catering Manager, had arranged all meticulously with the help of ten of his men.

" Oma?" call Jenna slowly.Fear she became a bully because Si Oma was involved in serious talks with Aunt Amanda's men, Aunt Tyas, who is believed to manage the catering business. While Aunt Amanda is still accompanying her husband in his official duties stationed in West Kalimantan.

Not many Orphans were invited to come .Probably only about a hundred children. They came from one of the closest orphanage foundations from this area. Children in the village next door.

In front there was already a high tent and a standing AC was installed so that guests would sit comfortably while listening to prayers and lectures from the local Ustaz who were called to fill the event.

Jenna kissed Omanya's cheek full of affection. The woman looked a little tired but happy. That happiness can also be felt by everyone after seeing the state of his opinion that hurts at the time... Because along with the complicated situation with the Covid outbreak. Thankfully, they were able to get through it all. Although Opa's recovery went on much longer, again. Almost a few months later. It must also be accompanied by the arrival of blows and waves of life experienced by children and grandchildren.
