A Friend to Jenna
Chapters 30. Meet Baby Hisbillah


Damash and Farhan Hisbillah's extended family still hold a hair shaving event as well as aqiqah for Baby Efron. Even with a very simple concept. The event will be held at Buyut's grandfather's house in Sentul. Only attended by close relatives and family.


The two-week-old baby boy is growing very rapidly. His body is increasingly rounded because it is taken care of and guarded by one baby sister, the young grandmother who is very proud of Aunt Amanda and the senior Grandma Oma Frida.


" Efron Pahlavi Hisbillah" The name was pinned on parcels to be distributed to neighbors in the nearby compound next to the Damash family residence. In the goodie bag, in addition to containing food, there is also a beautiful cup with the inscription of the baby's name and birth date from parents named Karolina Damash and Farhan Hisbillah.


Aunt Amanda only invited the family and relatives of her made from Bogor to attend the event. Not too many guests came. Only two dozen people. All of that was on the advice of doctor Arunika Fitri, the sister-in-law. Aunt Amanda agreed for the common good.


When Hisbillah's extended family came, only Farhan's parents and two kyai were still related. They actually came with three cars, complete with each driver and subordinates or assistants who are ready to stand guard.


Prayers were heard from the house of Aunt Amanda. The event was led by a large scholar who is quite famous in this area. The man named Ustadz Abdul Aziz was also on good terms with Mr. Adrian Damas.


Jenna was already busy with Aunt Lia, overseeing all the preparations for the serving of the lunch dish. Although all have been handled by the employees of the catering, The Dahlia Still Aunt and nephew worked together to make this event a success.


Aunt Lia's house, right next door to Aunt Amanda's. Because Om Danang is still actively serving, Aunt Lia time is more for the organization of the wives of the army members. He is rarely at home. Except, his youngest son Mirza came home, while on college leave from Yogyakarta.


Mr. Kyai Abid Mustofa Hisbillah was escorted by Opa Damash first to the dining room to taste the dishes presented at a large table arranged in the form of L ether. The two men observed the well-organized room, clean and comfortable.


" Who is this?" Ask Mr. kyai. Because at a glance from afar the faces of Jenna and Karolina are somewhat similar.


The man asked Mr. Damas when he saw Jenna welcoming the guests. The beautiful girl only put a pashmina on her head. Although the dress is quite fashionable but closed and polite.


" This is my last granddaughter. Mr. Kyai is interested in finding a mate for this beautiful!" The joke of Mr. Damash, made the man who looked polite and dignified laugh.


" Can, can! I have two kids ready to get married! If we are different, of course the closer the family relationship between us, yes. Mr."


Upset, Jenna accidentally hit the hand of the Opa with a vegetable spoon he held. Mr. Kyai just laughed. Because seeing the punch was strong enough or the old man was just acting to please the grandson.


" Oh Jenna, you put your energy on Opa, huh?" ask the guy silly. Instead of grimacing in pain even caught amused.


" Opa wants Jenna to get it! Because some of these dishes are very high in cholesterol!" Ledek Jenna sweet.


Opa's face so not bright when he was reminded with various restrictions in food. Because the age is getting older, the more often various diseases stop by as they please. If not careful choose the type of food that should be consumed every day. Quite disturbing the activity of the old man's daily activities.


A tradition to celebrate the Aqiqah event of a baby, surely the host provides some dishes from processed goat meat, to entertain the guests. Starting from goat satay, goat gule to tongseng!


Especially for baby boys. Karolina and Kak Farhan had to cut off two large goats. Guests began to enjoy the meal. The aides, drivers and workers in this house went around handing the parcels from one house to another. Anyway a neighbor in one housing complex is nearest from Aunt Amanda's house.


" Mommy ate?" ask Jenna.


His father had only come to see the baby for a while, because he had to go to Bandung. There are many issues to be resolved in the city, with the closure of a new food factory running within a year.


" Call the baby sisters, Jenna!" Tell the mother who is getting impatient.


Jenna immediately went into the inner room, in this old man's carolina's house. After searching for Mabak Sita instead busy preparing food for Si Kanjeng queen aka Karolina. Her mother's the baby.


" Sus, that fussy Efron, is being held by mama on the side porch!"


Jenna's eyes glared at the sight, the two plates of Karolina's former eating that had been stacked. Karolina's face implied guilt.


" Said the doctor Arunika, I can eat anything, Kok! There is no abstinence. As long as it does not cause allergies or itching in the former operation!"


" Who forbid you to eat Karol? It's your baby's party, the cost of your husband's money. Sensitive to be a young mom!" jenna was confused.


" Is Efron really that fussy?"


" Slightly, Mama same I want to say goodbye, can not be too long. Here, clothes for nursing mothers, Fathia Nadine's plan!"


Karolina hugged the gift. Fathia is his favorite dressmaker. The young woman used to be the one who always remodeled various gift clothes from sponsors and holders of fashion brands imported for her. Fathia is Jenna's best friend who has a small boutique at the Sunday Market.


Jenna had dyed Efron's forehead which was a bit sweaty from crying. The baby started to calm down.


"'Healthy, Baby. Auntie will come again. Yep!"


Jenna and her mother escorted Aunt Amanda to the family parking lot. This Thursday afternoon Dr. Arunika was practicing at a Clinic in the Kebayoran Baru area.


Don't imagine far away and tired Jenna traveled that distance later back and forth. Because the family driver invited Pak Feri to Bandung and will stay in the city for three days and two nights.


The clinic yard is still quiet from the arrival of patients for Arunika doctors whose practice room is located next to the loby of the two-story building. Jenna was still sitting in the office of the mother.


A neat workspace with rows of bindek that are reports of various small patients. Jenna saw her mother dressed carefully and tidied up her hairdo by making simple konde.


The woman began to wear her pure white coat.


"Wait, Mama's here! Do not disturb other doctors. Okay?"


Jenna's eyes showed as the woman headed for her practice room. The lobby of the clinic began to be crowded from the arrival of the patients who began to sit in the waiting room.
