A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 46. Worry in Jenna's Heart

In her neat and clean room, Jenna lay down. This time it was not because he was tired, but too much that he thought.

He really needs a new atmosphere. His life has been monotonous all along. Since she went to college, her mother had Jenna focus on her studies so she quickly finished in less than four years, from the time she should have.

Various activities outside the lecture began to release one by one. From organizations on campus, in the home environment to sports activities.

Ever since hearing the words of a dime and the seduction of a dreadlocks so easily thrown by a man named Prasaja Bramantyo! Jenna began to rethink not to accept her brother's offer to manage a new business there.

Working in Bali and living on the Island of the Gods, it has long been a dream. Usually, the family only vacation there for a week or two. Because there is a distant brother Arunika mother who has cottages rented per one house.

Now Jenna's getting more upset. If he had to meet every day with a Casanova model man in the early 19th century, no, yes! Not only was he sick of seeing his absurd style! But he could have trouble sleeping every night because he always had nightmares.

What yes, girls Bule easily fall in love with a man who is only able to pronounce his change? A man educated from abroad. But his life is like a traveler, traveling and moving from country to country.

Again he thought of Opa Damash's words, to have his own business. But starting a business, no matter how small the scale, still must have a large enough capital.

Moreover, Papa said, now the Indonesian economy is in a crisis period due to the impact of the covid virus that hit the entire world. Many countries also closed imports.

The circumstances continued Jenna brought finally until she returned to work the next day at the office. He also rarely went out of his room, if not very important. I have to go out and go to the cafeteria. Meet with the mothers of the group rumpi again. It's just the inn so lazy!

" Jenna's. Hey, Jenna!" Call Aunt Ismaya who has repeatedly knocked on the door of her study.

" Aunty Ismaya. Coming, Tan!" Call Jena stunned - shocked. Because he was long enough pensive and daydreaming in front of the laptop.

Soon Jenna closed her laptop screen... Since then Jenna tried to concentrate on all kinds of reports in front of her.

" It's lunch, huh?" ask the beautiful woman. Unbeknownst to him, he saw two Tupperware boxes on Jenna's desk. Looks like it was a salad made by the mother of the esteemed doctor Arunika. One more Tupperware box contains complete fried rice Mak Isah cuisine.

"You Auntie, this salad? Not touched yet, Kok! Mak Isah has brought this fried rice too much. Jenna had already spent half of it in the morning. This half was just eaten for lunch."

Aunt Ismaya opened the Tupperware lid containing the salad. His hand moved with a plastic spoon, he took a salad made by his sister-in-law that quite attracted the eyes.

There are fresh fruit pieces such as apples, pears and melons. Plus vegetables like lettuce and red cabbage. All of it is mixed with sauce from mashed egg yolk plus olive oil, lemon water feeling, honey also sprinkled roasted sesame seeds. On top of the salad was a green grape cut.

" This is, it's delicious, Jenna. Quite filling, but not many calories!" Say the Aunt.

Jenna just smiled wryly... Instead, the Mama brought the salad so that Jenna had an appetite. Lately, Jenna is eating out more often. Although ART always provides a menu that has been arranged Mama well. Usually Jenna will order the food through an inter-messaging application.

For him eating alone in the Darmawan family's spacious dining room was not tasty. Although Mak Isah is always ready to prepare a variety of Jenna's favorite foods.

"Tante, please dong, love Jenna! What is the easiest thing to do right now ?" pinta Jenna soft.

" It's not clear yet, that problem, Auntie ... Moreover, Bang Tedi is even busy here helping Papa!"

" A lot of Jenna! We can start from the business of sembako, there are snacks today from food to drinks.There are fashion products for children or women, selling electronic products, household appliances, beauty and health products..."

Jenna just nodded her head in agreement. Even such an effort, Jenna must have a partner as well. It can't be done alone. He must have a place of business, such as renting a shophouse. You have to teach employees, not others.

"How about trying to manage the Aunty salon business in Block M, want? Aunty was less fond of the way Lina arranged there. Less slang the term, so many employees are quite professional on retreat."

" Is the salon still open, Auntie? "

" Still, while Tya's nagging. If you want to hold it, then Tya will Aunty pull back to the central salon. Honey, hell! Customers are many. That shophouse Om Jhon bought too. Maybe you can give an idea, to fill the business on the top floor, for example, open a small cafe, sell clothes and accessories women, let there be a change.." Said Aunt Ismaya.

Aunty Ismaya's main venture was initially to establish a beauty clinic.. . Salon is an additional effort, so that clinic customers can immediately upgrade themselves after doing facial and body treatments.

Therefore, a beauty clinic will be more trusted when handled by a beautician who is in accordance with his field. So you can answer the results.

" Are there any other offers, Auntie?"

" Why not stay in this office?"

" Males Aunt! Many women have mouths sharper than the knife of Mak Isah!"

Aunt Ismaya's laughter sounded amused.

" That's the world of work, Jenna! There's a lot of gossip, competing with each other to be the best, brushing each other!"

" Fatty, Auntie ! Speaking here. Jenna's cupcakes are itchy. So it went wrong. Especially if you have talked about Jenna's ability, which he said does not fit! "

Aunt Ismaya again laughed with the nagging of this young girl. Because she knows her husband's niece is usually mentally resistant and test resistant. Because Jenna's a little tomboy too! But the girl's ears like to be somewhat flushed with various obscure innuendos!

Jenna went to the Om Jhon company to hone her skills. In fact many other employees who call it enter with the KKN system, nepotism and others...

The evidence? Jenna's work has been pretty good all along. Jenna has improved the assessment system as well as employee absences. But this one problem, Jenna is quite overwhelmed also overcome it. Especially about discipline and the rhythm of work of employees who are less than optimal. There was one or two male workers who began stalling when the break was over.

Somewhat reluctantly Jenna reprimands or , organizes the work of employees. It is also impossible that he advises how it works because he is younger. While the older ones will be reprimanded, many life experiences and have long been employees in this company.

Two days later, Aunt Ismaya takes Jenna to her salon. The salon's name is "Salon Ismaya" located on a fairly strategic crossroads...Along the way it stands various business places with unique and interesting building concepts to grand and luxurious buildings.

Business places are very diverse, from restaurants ala kali five, to the form of a cafe that is quite known to young people. Many galleries, boutiques and shops selling food products, daily necessities to all accessories specifically women.
