A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 56. Don't Say with Flowers

The bouquet of roses remained there without anyone touching it... Until Ma'am Arini started busy looking for empty flower vases to fill with water. He felt it was a pity not to take advantage of the beauty of the flowers in the bouquet.

The bouquet of roses was immediately placed on a low table in the waiting room. Maybe the customers or other guests, more able to appreciate the beauty even if only briefly.

Usually there are family members of salon customers. It could also be the private drivers who wait for the employer to be picked up in this place.

"'Pretty flowers?" Exciting Mother Venda.

The middle-aged woman was waiting for her driver, who was told to buy her snacks and mineral water that was sold in stalls across from the salon.

While in the woman's hair is still embedded various objects used for hair color painting. Because of the length of time the workmanship, usually salon customers will interrupt it to eat while waiting for the chemical liquid to work to beautify its appearance.

The old woman's eyes re-examined each sheet of paper wrapping the bouquet. Really this is not a flower decoration that is usually to receive guests.

" The young woman should not be given a bouquet of flowers. The need to be given bank interest, deposit interest or stock interest..."

The words of the loyal customers of the Ismaya salon were ridiculous.

In fact, responded by Mbak Arini with a mild joke. " Yes, Miss Vanda... Women today want to be given the practical. Like fulus, so ..."

" That's not practical Arini. But matre!" said Mrs Vanda interrupted.

Ha, ha, ha. The laughter of different age women is like laughing at young women today, who are certainly different generations from their youth

" Yes, Yes, Miss Vanda! How many hours can this flower bouquet last to stay fresh? Where is the price anymore... Mending is given to us his money. Brought to warteg all the side dishes and vegetables there can buy everything..."

" Situ, the business is just the stomach... It's a love affair, Arini! The love of children today does not need to be used symbolically. Straight to the point!"

" That is, don't give me flowers, just give me your wallet, Bang!" Ledek Mbak Arini does not want to lose.

The debate between them is considered a distraction. Several times Ms. Arini monitored the situation on the second floor. Afraid Jenna heard their prank, which would make the salon owner's niece offended.

After all, Ms. Arini has twice seen the presence of Pandu figure in this salon. This morning, he came alone. In less than an hour, the handsome man's face was already very windy, after coming down from Jenna's study. It is likely that the man who deserves the nickname 'Future Husband' left in a red sports car with a picture of the prancing horse.

Jenna's situation in her study, looks peaceful and sentosa. Apart from the presence of Pandu figure who seemed to intimidate him. That man always forced his will!

Jenna is a very free and creative soul. The girl can be able to learn quickly everything from the circumstances that occur around her. Opa Damash's family is not from the rich.

In family and close relatives meetings, Damash's husband and wife were always willing to tell how difficult their previous lives were. Starting from the process of life of Opa Damash from school, to have to fight hard to be accepted into a member of the army in a unit.

Oma also sometimes adds to their experiences while living in some remote areas outside the islands of Java and Sumatra. Until they leave Pak Feri Darmawan at his grandmother's house in Jakarta.

His family's life moved almost every year, making little Feri less able to receive lessons. Because it always lagged behind the area they occupied before. Until Feri raised his grandmother's family in Jakarta to catch up on his school lessons.

Success needs a struggle! That's the motto in the Damash and Darmawan families. Even their families had many difficulties.

Mr. Feri quit his job at a company in 1997, when the monetary crisis hit Indonesia. The company in the field of foreign trade was bankrupt and could not pay the salaries of all its employees.

" Jenna, Sunday to Sentul, yes! I'm the same Baby Boy at Opa's house staying over!"

Huh, the phone from her cousin that made Jenna's lips manyun! There's no pleasantries. You madam boss! The more here Karolina gets, the more she likes to organize others. But he also has not met his favorite Baby Boy.

Funny thing is, the baby boy's face, the longer the more like the grandmother of the father's side. Either that the baby should be recognized as a descendant of Hisbillah. Or because of Karolina's dislike for the lunge of the mother-in-law in her household life. Karolina secretly hated her father-in-law when she became pregnant with Baby Boy. It was printed on the baby's face at birth.

The day's work was completed by Jenna. In fact, he can go home first from the other salon employees. But he also went home. Because both parents have always been busy with their work and their respective affairs. So even in this big house, Jenna is only with ART who are more than members of the Darmawan family. He and his parents.

The photos of Jenna displayed on the wall of the second floor salon always attract the attention of visitors at the place. Until they were quite amazed, after being told that the photo was indeed the face of the manager of this Ismaya beauty salon. A young girl niece of the owner of two famous salons Ismaya Salon.

Apparently, hanging out with the workers there is quite fun for Jenna who likes to know the crowd. Because the salon workers there, although many are only graduated from High School and SMK, but they have various skill certificates from the top beauty courses they have taken. Because Aunt Ismaya is very strict in selecting the applicants to be hired by her salon.

Until Jenna gets a brochure about a beauty course organized by an education led by a famous hairdresser. It turns out that the price of the course is quite expensive in just 3 months. The course guides its students from beginner to advanced level, with costs ranging from 5 million to 15 million.

Jenna showed me the schedule for the next two days after Ms Arini put in a list of customers who called and made an appointment with her all day.

At this reception desk were two workers. Someone who processes data. One more person can serve various requests from salon workers and customers. As for all the equipment in the salon is taken care of by one ART person.

" Bad Arini I'm back first, yeah! Mas Joss has a 3 o'clock appointment with Ira's mom, maybe 5 o'clock they'll be done!"

" Okay, Ma'am!" Arini agreed.

Soon Jenna left the salon, with her beloved red Honda Jazz. Such is the day-to-day activities of Jenna as a worker at the Ismaya Salon.

The establishment of clinics and beauty salons in this building was first pioneered by Aunt Ismaya. Women with a doctor's degree are interested in specializing in facial skin beauty and cosmetics.

The young woman was very persistent in studying the science of beauty, until studying the science to the country, South Korea and Japan. Even the beauty specialty was up to Australia.

Doctor Ismaya's ability was supported by her husband. Because various cosmetic concoction it is very suitable for female customers who are mostly Indonesian. It was the upper and middle class women who became the walking ad, for all the beauty products of Aunt Ismaya, who was named "Ismaya Beauty Cosmetics".

Until the couple, began to open several branches similar ldi Jakarta. In fact they are able to produce their own various types of cosmetics that are supplied to some branches of their beauty salons in Jakarta and some other major cities.

Her beauty products are also increasingly in demand in the homeland market. After the beauty product was made advertising through TV, through advertisements in magazines, newspapers and brochures and flyers.

In the past, Aunt Ismaya was very strict in selecting her salon workers. Not just looking at the training and the certificate of skill they have. Their experience also works. Arriving at the interview also their attitude, outlook on life and religion.

The woman set up a salon to help other women with facial skin problems and their appearance. Among the bad images about other functions of the salon.

Until the building was named, Ismaya Beauty Clinic and Salon, to change the bad image of the existence of the salon and its employees.

Salon employees are expected by Aunt Ismaya to continue to serve all customers well without expecting tips or rewards... Not even reluctant, Aunt Ismaya reprimanded the salon workers who did not do well outside work hours. Especially if there are female salon workers who play a 'double' role'. Without a word, the worker at his salon would be fired!
