A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 38. It Takes Patience

Opa state began to be quite stable after a week of hospitalization. Alternately children and the grandfather's son-in-law who look after, it was only briefly and given special clothes to visit the patient.

Oma is always patient to wait for the health of Opa until it is stable enough and can be treated at home. All on the advice of Doctor Arunika see not conducive circumstances that occur lately around them. Moreover, the case of covid again increased, with many patients referred to this hospital.

After almost two weeks of treatment, then Opa can be taken home. Of course with a special room prepared at home in Sentul to take care of Opa. It should be maintained with professional nurses.

Jenna who drove Oma Farida and Mbak Tum from the apartment to her grandmother's house in Sentul. Because the family drivers are moving to all corners of Jakarta and surrounding areas with the busy Aunt Amanda and Om Danang take care of everything.

The room in front of it was already prepared for the Opa recovery room. Also one more room for the nurse who was taking care of Opa to rest. All the equipment there was already similar to the one in the hospital. The equipment was loaned from a clinic where Dr. Arunika worked.

"Jenna, you don't want to keep Opa here?" ask Oma Farida sadly.

" Oma, Jenna's got to work. For a week yesterday Om Jhon had given Jenna dispensation to come a little afternoon to the office. If you skip work, will not be an exemplary employee? Bonus is gone, dong..."

Aunt Amanda and Oma looked rather confused. Jenna, if you have the determination, it is difficult to be told to retreat. Moreover, he is part of the Damash family even though he bears the surname Darmawan. One of the business owners of many big businessmen and entrepreneurs in Jakarta.

Actually without working hard, Jenna's name is on the list of recipients of shares in several companies owned by Mr. Feri Darmawan. Because the man still included the name of his wife, three children and grandson as part of the share ownership of PT Darmawan Eka Unggul. Large companies that have various fields of service business, finance and creative industries that continue to advance rapidly. Especially since the two boys, joined the plunge to develop a smiling business to several regions in Bali and Sumatra.

Especially if Jenna later chose to join a startup company of her brother on the island of Bali. Although both parents had advised Jenna to study business with S2 study abroad. Again, the girl refused.

Unfortunately, Jenna prefers to learn a variety of hands-on business practices by working at the company of Om Jhon Sagara, her mother's youngest sister. Because the company is still related to the needs of women, namely producing cosmetics for women.

" Later, Jenna try to come on Friday afternoon, stay here. I'll be off to work on Monday morning!"

" Promise?" tanya Oma was less enthusiastic.

" Promise dong, Oma! What's not to your dear Oma..."

The sound of Aunt Amanda's breath sounded relieved. Since Karolina's marriage, her daughter has been living in her husband's home in Bogor. Farhan had long since built the house for his small family. Of course after he found out that Karolina did not like the style of her mother to apply all the rules in her family home authoritarian. Because the father is rarely at home because it is always preoccupied with the affairs of his political party that has expanded to the national level.

Once again Jenna looked at Opa who was still lying in the front guest room... The spacious room was filled with various medical equipment such as oxygen cylinders, infusion poles and various drugs placed on the front desk, before the entrance.

Seeing the state of Opa who can only lie down for a week, makes Jenna even more sad. Even though the hospital has deployed several surgeons as well as the best heart specialists the hospital has to handle the operation.

The relatives who come to visit Opa are only allowed to see from the door leaf given glass. The nurses come in turns, regularly to care for Opa almost 24 hours full.

Almost every Maghrib, Oma and people who work in this house after performing congregational prayers. They face study and pray together for the healing of Opa Damash.

There was Oma Farida sitting helplessly, between hopes that Opa would quickly recover his health. Also the estimates of the doctors, if the age of the patient also affects the health condition that has not been stable until now.

" Sorry, Mom. You want to talk to Jenna!"

The soft voice of Sister Ria surprised the people sitting on the carpeted floor, in front of the room where the grandfather was being treated. Oma asked Sister Ria for dinner first. While Mr. Min hastily looking for the existence of the granddaughter who is the beloved of the employer, Jenna. Usually Jena often sits on the side porch with Aunt Amanda.

" No, look for Opa Damash!"

Jenna's face stared in disbelief at Mr. Min. But he was in a hurry he left Aunt Manda who was still enjoying a plate of vegetable salad. Also a bowl of meatballs ordered online.

It was in Opa's large, gloomy room that Jenna came in. However, there is still an infusion cable and another cable that still covers the man's body.

Slowly Jenna took a plastic chair and sat down next to the patient who was lying stiff in bed.

The man's eyes flickered adjusting to the slightly dazzling bright light.

" Jenna?" call him.

Opa Damash's raucous voice made the girl flinch. There was the strength and willingness of the grandfather to go through all this pain, to get well soon and see the beautiful face of his grandson who was looking at him anxiously.

" Opa, what does Opa feel? Let Mama call doctor Irawan again!"

"'Just calm down, Jenna... Opa just hopes that you can keep your Oma..."

" Opa should be eager to be healthy... Jenna doesn't want Opa talking macems, does she?"

Seeing the fierce face of the grandson of the man smiled sincerely. The pain in his chest for two weeks due to the surgery he underwent began to decrease slightly. No matter the price of the expensive drugs it can give him strength. Indeed his body is old, so some diseases make him hamper his health. But he knows, the prayers of his wife and the people who have been working to serve and take care of them are very sincere.

" That's all Opa wants to say. You're closer to Oma Frida than any other grandchild..."

" Opa what the hell is that talking? Jenna loves all Jenna's family here. Also Opa and Oma!"

"Opa knows. Unfortunately Jenna did not want to grant Opa's request. Fear Opa can not watch Opa's granddaughter get married. Especially if you are planning to get married at the age of 25. It's still single, yes!"

"Huh, Opa can still complain about Jenna, even though it hurts like this. Hm, look out . If Opa is healthy, Jenna lives in Bali!"

The threat made Opa's face moody. " Oh, you want a vacation to Bali. Can deh! The origin of the Opa was brought by-by many!"

The voice of the conversation Grandpa and grandson is always a relief for the heart of the Grandmother. Among all her grandchildren, it is Jenna who is more relaxed, silly and sometimes likes to mock her opinion. The love that has been there since Jenna was a child. Even the child had lived in this house for many years, after his mother had to pursue special education abroad for almost 3 years.
