A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 42. Jenna's Long-Term Plan
Jenna and Oma survive in the North loby of the hospital building. There was an army of nurses and doctors who took Opa to a room to control the results of his surgical sutures.
Jenna deliberately brought Oma waiting near the hospital garden window, because the situation in the hospital at that time began to be rather crowded. All paramedics in full PPE uniforms. Except, some officers are standing guard at the loby door. They only wear masks and gloves.
In addition, there is a special officer who carries a thermo gun. Later visitors are required to wash their hands in some portable water faucets provided. They are also required to wear a mask before entering the main loby room, checked his forehead with a body temperature gauge.
Her mother Jenna forced her mother-in-law to wear two types of masks that she had to wear. It made the old woman feel less comfortable. But for the sake of maintaining the health of himself and others in the area. The Oma was willing to do that.
Jenna helped Oma open the mineral water she had bought from the back canteen. Jenna was feeling a little hungry this afternoon. The toast that became the breakfast menu, of course, has been burned into calories. Because Jenna still has to take care of the completeness of the data of the Opa from one room to another. While at this moment, he was also still busy making reports in the corner of the waiting room table.
" Your job is too much, Jenna ?" tanya Oma who has since observed her granddaughter who continues to be busy with her laptop.
" A little while, Oma. Jenna has to check the incoming email!"
" When will Jenna be working in Bali?"
" Maybe early next year, Oma! Kasian Bang Tedy, his capital was depleted to develop his subsidiary from Surabaya. It seems like that kind of effort is more in line with Jenna's interests all along."
There was a breath heard. The old woman looked at the green grass that lay neatly in the garden. Every now and then they saw some people coming and eating in this cafeteria. Although everything in this place is no longer what it used to be.
" Perhaps if you live in Bali, we will also live there. Opa's life will be quieter, right there, yeah..."
" Why Oma had to go home, Karo. Is there a problem with Baby?"
" Karolina was very uncomfortable with all the interference of her mother-in-law... Fear your cousin was experiencing Baby Blues, because it was always blamed by Mama Farhan in the parenting of her 3-month-old baby..."
Damash's extended family is not too fanatical in carrying out his religious teachings. But they also try to carry out all their duties as Muslims. In fact, it is very diligent with the activities of providing regular assistance and charity to various orphanages, mosque construction and others without fanfare to the media.
Moreover, as a leader, Opa Damash highly appreciates the various differences that have existed in the lives of our society since ancient times. They are accustomed to receiving friends and friends without distinguishing their religion, tribe or degree.
Perhaps for Farhan Hasbullah's family, Karolina is like a sinful woman because she had a career in the world of national models. In addition to appearing danced on stage and watched many pairs of eyes. Karolina also had to bring a variety of designer designs from Indonesia and abroad, which sometimes the dress was rather open cut.
Blame it on Farhan Hasbullah! whose eyes could not escape looking at a beautiful girl, when she was introduced by Opa Damash to him. Of course he is the favorite grandson of Mr. Andrian Saputra Damash. Carolina!
Love at first sight! That is felt by Farhan.Of course for alim men like Farhan, whose family background has a very strict Islamic religious education. Of course looking at Karolina's pretty face was like getting a speck of dew in the middle of the desert.
Karolina was a powerful magnet for men at the time. Because Karolina has an open personality, friendly and very professional with her work as a model that makes her name began to rise in the world of modeling.
At that time, Karolina was showing off her attractiveness in a photo session that paid for her with a large amount of rupiah. Because of the intervention of Opa Damash also involving Karolina to be a model in advertising the project of building an apartment owned by Farhan Company in the West of Jakarta.
The photo was taken at a tourist spot in the Bogor area. It seems that Karolina did not deny the interest in Farhan when they met again on his initiative.
Farhan is a young entrepreneur who is engaged in property. The man was very well mannered, and treated himself well and respectfully.
It turns out that love is also not the main foundation in a marriage bond. Karolina was very surprised to learn, all the success and greatness of Farhan's father and brothers in the field of business and politics because of the main role of the mother-in-law.
-------
Jenna also felt the uneasiness of the Oma, the inconvenience of Karolina's current home life. Especially after his mother-in-law intervened again in taking care of the baby, who became a grandson for their family
" Oma, just relax! They can certainly overcome that. We come from two different families in many ways. Moreover, Kak Farhan and Karo already have a baby, they must have a different way of teaching too!"
" Yes, already. Jenna! If you want to join your brother later... Please find a place to live or house in an ordinary residential area. Not a hotel or an apartment! Oma and Opa will be staying with you there!"
" is this right, Oma?"
" Well, maybe by staying there, Opa can live a more relaxed life. Not too involved with all the household affairs of his son and grandson in the future.."
How nice Jenna was to hear that. He also needs a change of mood. Jakarta has been getting a bit crowded lately.
During this time Jenna tried to keep her family's good name. Of course by avoiding the association that is not good as a teenage daughter in her home environment. A home environment inhabited by middle to upper class families.
He was also ordinary as a child. Because he had a heavy burden on his shoulder from birth. As the granddaughter of Opa Damash the former General. Also descended from Grandpa Handy Darmawan, his late father Pak Feri... The man's name is identical to the title of nobility, from some of his family who still live in Yogyakarta and Riau.
Mama Arunika has called them, after Opa has finished control. They will meet in the hospital lobby before returning to Sentul. Jenna bought a few extra bottles of mineral water.
Maybe this is all they can buy. Because there were many excuses and prohibitions uttered by the doctor Arunika, when they were about to leave for the hospital this morning.
" What were you doing in the hospital cafeteria?"
The deg! Her mother's question is like treating Jenna like an elementary school kid! Although she knew, her mother's question was in the woman's capacity as a doctor!
" Pudding is the same as mineral water, Ma!" jenna replied weakly.
Lost already in his wish to enjoy a bowl of hot meatballs with spicy sauce in the surrounding area on Jalan Pasar Minggu.
" We're home! You don't feel sorry for me, Opa? The seams aren't dry yet, so they'll open next week?"
Yuh, Jenna instantly grimaced, feeling a pain rippling in her chest. It's just heard about surgery and opening the stitches in opa's chest. Not to mention the smell of drugs had made him close his eyes. Horrified!
That's what makes Jenna step down to become a doctor. He could stand the sight of blood! Injured men. Even one-on-one fights or brawls that used to be often done by SMK children, if it used to be called STM!
Unfortunately he could not bear to see people's faces in pain, from being hurt or persecuted. The cries of those who lost their families, or the sufferings of those who experienced various disasters. She could cry herself because of it!
