A Friend to Jenna
Chapters 17. Meet Old Officers

The morning trip to the city of Malang, only spent Jenna by falling asleep in the back car seat. It was fortunate that the car was going through the motorway, so he could sleep soundly without a goal of meaningless road shocks.

Both of his legs felt numb and achy because he stood with various poses during the photo shoot yesterday. Not to mention having to change some dresses that are rather troublesome so she needs the help of some of Rosalin's employees. 

Though what Jenna thought, when she received an offer to be a model of cosmetic products that was, she was taken the photo by sitting sweet as making a photo for KTP.

Again he imagined the struggle Karolina, his cousin was when he had just stepped into the world of modeling at a young age. Karolina had to take a modeling course at a model school owned by a former famous model. Sometimes he also has to take his assignments, pr and textbooks to the training ground after he gets home from school. Because he was in 10th grade and only 16 years old.

Moreover, Karolina attended a bona fide private High School in Jakarta. A fairly disciplined school with rules and regulations for its students. So he must be responsible for all the risks that have been taken in his life.

Karolina's name is increasingly known after two years dabbling in the world.

His cousin was getting less rest, went home at night and had to go to school in the morning. In fact, he had also continued to undergo a fashion show session from a famous Indonesian designer on Sunday night. Even though Monday, he had to enter school to face the UN aka the National Examination. Because at that time Karolina was still in 12th grade High School.

Opa also still requires Karolina to go to college after graduating High School.  Although at that time Karolina already had her own income, which was quite large without subsidies from both parents.

Opa Damash is not convinced that Karolina can continue a career in the world of models. A world that demands a person must display a charming face and body with perfect standard size.

With Jenna's help, Karolina chose a campus and a department that is not too strict requires students to be present in the lecture room.

The two also live in an apartment, not far from Jenna's school. Karolina was determined to study at a foreign language academy and she chose a major in French. Of course in the hope that he can pitch on the catwalk in Paris, the heart of world fashion.

Jenna's shoulder felt shaken at full force. Equivalent to earthquake shocks of 6 Righter scale. Also accompanied by the loud voice of Aunt Ismaya who quite surprised him. Until he's knocked down in the real world.

"Jenna, wake!"

" Yes, yes, Auntie!   Have you arrived in Malang, Auntie?" Jenna asked confusedly.

He had just closed his eyes for ten minutes. Now the Inova car they were riding in was already in a three-star modern hotel parking lot. Not too drain the bag price, but with facilities and facilities that are quite satisfactory.

"Huh, it's been up to now, the Queen is sleeping! " Aunty Ismaya said annoyed.

"It should have been Mr. Radi and Bang Agus carrying you out of this car to the loby, huh?" "

Sleek-seok Jenna woke up. No matter the random hair and the face of his pillow.

Jenna follows the aunt who enters the hotel lobby with a sweep of gray and white. The hotel is minimalist and modern. The woman received a room key that they ordered as many as three rooms.

" You Auntie booked your own room!  Remember 12:00 is ready . We eat and pray first. If you haven't woken up yet, I have a prince build you up, Queen of the Sleepers!"

"Prince of Majapahit Kingdom, Auntie?"

" Yes, the prince is Bang Agus." Said Aunt Ismaya smiling mockingly.

" Huh, Bang Agus is the prince of frogs. Loss of my city!" Reply Jenna manyun.

Their room turned out to be side by side on the seventh floor ." Jenna set an alarm on your house. Twelve o'clock in the afternoon is neat and wait in this loby. . Not ready, this month's salary is cut by 50 percent. Okay?"

" Ih. It's not okay, Auntie. .."

" Yes, yesterday's photo commission went into Auntie's account, yeah."

" Om Jhon is bad, this is ! Got a wife still from a colonial background. Is this the work of rodi or romusha ?"

At exactly 14:00, Jenna has dressed up and performed optimally in the main lobby room. An hour earlier, Aunt Ismaya had taken them to lunch at the hotel's restaurant on the fifth floor. Until Jenna jolted, when the glass window of the restaurant on the west was showing several multi-storey buildings with a gate ala-a-style temple relief building. Brawijaya Malang Campus.

The dictionary is located a little far away, because in the hotel there is a large river that borders it. The location of the river is also quite deep and filled with wild bushes and plants.

Samar, yesterday Ms. Rosalin had talked about her sister who studied at this campus. Either Miko or the other sister ! Because Jenna has forgotten some of the faces of the grandchildren of Eyang Sugandhi Wikrama. Children from their age about 10 to their twenties, such as Ms. Rosalin. Oldest granddaughter.

Bang Agus turned out to visit a two-story shophouse located on the edge of the city of Malang. The shop is adjacent to several contemporary food outlets, such as Boba drinks, various grilled sausages and dimsum. Also at the end, there is another store that sells young women's clothing with Korean style.

"Mom Ismaya!" The screams of a female voice descending from the second floor.

Whereas earlier when they entered the shop that installed various cosmetic product displays and some of the latest skin care, Jenna seemed very familiar from the way of structuring her goods.

Only now did he recognize the woman who was actually as old as his Tantenya. Is it Suwartini?

The woman's body shrank by a few kilos, while her haircut looked young and fresh cut to shoulder with a slightly brownish color . Her face is soft and ayu with a thin and natural makeup sweep.

"Mom, thank you for looking at me! This is Jenna's sister, huh?"

"Yes, I'm Jenna. It used to be Ma'am at Aunt Ismaya's clinic, huh?"

"Yes, it's me. Jenna Ma'am!" his voice slightly raucous held haru.

Women hug Jenna as well Aunt Ismaya alternately. Politely immediately took both of his guests to his study upstairs.

Seen in the corner of the room was a crib. But it is empty. Only then did Jenna realize that on the shelf in the corner there was a pile of cardboard baby milk, diapers and a pile of small clothes.

They were immediately treated to a warm sweet tea drink. The taste of the tea was so fresh, that Jenna poured the tea back into her glass. They prepare in a 1-liter plastic teapot container.

It turns out that Aunt Ismaya and Mbak Suwartini are discussing the reports of the sale of cosmetic products they sell. Before long the shop yard was filled with the arrival of a group of young women using a motorcycle. They immediately entered the store. Inside the shop were two young girls whose faces resembled that of the owner of this business.

Nearly two hours later they were discussing . Jenna had heard that the sale of cosmetics from Aunty Ismaya products began to be popular with young women in this city. Aunt Ismaya has packed some of those cosmetic products with attractive young colors.

Not long ago the sound of greeting. From the stairs was seen an old mother who was carrying an 11-month-old baby.Tante Ismaya greeted the woman who turned out to be the baby's grandmother.

Jenna is not very familiar with the employees who work in the beauty care clinic founded by Aunty Ismaya and Om Jhon for the first time. But I know Ms. Suwartini very well, because she is a long-time employee at the clinic.

Even the clinic was growing, after being managed by Mbak Suwartini.

The clinic building was purchased by Om Jhon. It is being renovated into a three-story building. On the first floor, it is used as a loby for guests as well as beauty salons and haircuts.

In front of the clinic is a food and beverage store that is still owned by Aunty Ismaya.

The concept of a beauty clinic in the Bangka area, South Jakarta is what Aunty Ismaya uses to open several other clinic branches.

.

 Initially, Aunt Ismaya and Om Jhon used various beauty products produced by her friends or imported from abroad such as from Thailand and Japan.  But many customers at the clinic were better suited to the cream concoction of Aunt Ismaya. So by Om Jhon, the cream was produced more by asking for the help of Jenna's father Pak Feri to make his factory with modern equipment.

They began to set up a factory that is not too large in the Sawangan area. Because it is only for limited people. But the factory was getting bigger production and moved to Bogor.

Sister Suwartini is the assistant trust Aunty Ismaya. In fact, he also knew some relatives of his boss from the doctor Arunika with his daughter Jenna, to Mother Amanda with Karolina the daughter who came to know in the fashion circles.

Until the woman resigned when her mother who lived in Malang was sick and had to undergo surgery in her womb. Because of that good relationship, Aunt Ismaya gave Mbak Suwartini the trust to market his products in this city.
