A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 57. The Problem of the Household Karolina

Jenna had reached the gate of the Damas Family residence complex in the Sentul area. The gate with two sides of the door was made of wrought iron with the symbol of the letter D. The door opened on its own as Jenna carried her car on the paved road.

The Opa once retired from the army, tendering a project at a subsidiary company, Feri Darmawan. The big project tender was won by him. So that Opa began busy doing business in order to realize his desire to build a special residential complex for members of the Damash family. Except Feri Darmawan, who refused it.

At the home of the parents of Oma Farida that house is now occupied by the family of Mr Feri Darmawan, his father Jenna. After the old house was renovated. He also bought some vacant land, beside and behind in his grandmother's inheritance.

The house is in the Sunday Market area. An area in South Jakarta that still has a lot of open green land. You can still feel the fresh air in the morning.

Jenna was moved, when she saw the figure of the grandmother had welcomed her in front of the porch door. Full of affection embraced the old woman. Her pretty face is already visible

brighter than a few months ago...Of course with the pain of the husband, making the woman stay in Sentul and rarely see the family Jenna again.

" Oma, Oma healthy?" whispered Jenna while in the arms of her beloved grandmother.

" Oma's healthy. Oh, Oma is so happy with my beautiful granddaughter!"

It turned out that Opa had also come out of his room. He used a wooden stick that was ordered by Mr. Feri specifically from a craftsman in the Bandung area.

"'Opa?" exclaiming Jenna cheerful.

Opa's body looks thinner than his ideal weight. Until he got higher up in front of Jenna. The pain is quite severe, making the man lose half of his original body weight. It seems that his grandfather's affection for Karolina, still makes him have to interfere in the kisruh Karolina and Farhan household.

Karolina ran - a small run from the front of her parents' house next to the pool. Jenna was moved, seeing Karolina look healthier and fresher. She is on a strict diet to lose weight which has increased by 20 kg since pregnancy and childbirth.

" Why, cry? Not Karo! Be happy!" Brushed Jenna over the cousin's shoulder.

" I'm so upset, Jenna! With you and this family. Until Opa had to quarrel with Mother-in-law because of Baby Efron's parenting problem."

It turns out they let Jenna and Karolina chat in the living room of the main house. The two husbands sat a little away. They can see and judge, if Jenna is happier with all the steps and choices she has taken.

Others with Karolina lived a disciplined life, with many strict rules in their family sphere. Precisely after marriage, the greatest granddaughter of the grandfather lost her identity.

"Mommy makes me dizzy, Jenna. She didn't like the way I handled Baby Efron with a baby sister. Especially at home, I pay for two other ARTs, to cook and some houses, another to wash clothes and iron."

" What do you mean, anyway, your mother-in-law Karo? Time at home that big you have to do all the housework yourself... I also take care of the baby. It could be two days and two nights you just sweep and mop the floor!"

Karolina's tears are shed." I'm always compared - compared to the other daughters-in-law. What's wrong if I can't make a nice asem or make delicious carp pepes?"

" That's Kak Farhan's favorite meal?" ask Jenna understand.

" Yes..."

" Just book at a famous restaurant near your house. Beres!"

" Maybe if I told you the same Jenna, all the problems in my household can be a pop novel book that is quite thick..."

" Yes, already... Tell Lah!"

Karolina looked at her older cousin increasingly helplessly. If in the order of their family genealogy, he should have called Jenna with the word 'sister'. Because Jenna is the son of the older sister of the mother, Amanda's mother. But in terms of age, Jenna is much younger than him 5 years. Hence they call by name only more often because of their very close relationship.

" Oma's been waiting, if I can't say much about this ...."

" What's the matter?"

" Fear you won't get married! Especially in the marriage bond, a woman is even demanded like a wonder woman! Must everything can. You'd rather have a career than be a housewife, right?"

" I'd rather be Joan of Arc alone, to be the only female knight exterminator of evil!" Ledek Jenna's.

" This, seriously Jenna!"

" okay! When I was betrothed to Kak Farhan, you were okay! In fact, not until 6 months of dating, you are married immediately!"

" You got a prank, did you?"

" The woman wants the household of all her children in accordance with the rules of her extended family .. . We are different generations. Different in view too. Si Mami started to come often and arrange everything ... Until my head just broke hearing his talk. Not to mention Baby Efron also often get sick..."

"'Sir Farhan, how is it?"

" Yes, come dizzy... Moreover, he was busy with the project in Banten! So it's less often at home."

"Patience, Karo... Happiness has to come from inside of us, right?"

Karolina took a long breath. It used to be those words that pumped his passion to stay a career in the fashion world. Among the busy schedule of gigs, exams at the campus also jammed the streets of Jakarta protocol. Because Karolina had to perform in several buildings in one day. He can handle all of that, even if it's not easy.

Karolina was able to complete her studies on time until she earned her bachelor's degree. On the other hand, her model career skyrocketed sharply. Until passing buana to various stages in the country and some shows abroad. Well, before he got caught up in a bad setting with a famous movie actor who'd gone awry with his life.

" You really want to help Bang Tedi's business in Bali?"

" Oh, listen to that rumor!"

" Well, what the Damash family didn't say. Can I come with you?"

" Would you like to come to Bali?"

" Yes..."

" Karo, don't play! What about the baby and Brother Farhan?"

" My baby may be a year old, so I can travel by plane. If Brother Farhan is up ... The Mami will definitely be looking for a new wife for Kak Farhan. Of course, women who fit the criteria that women want as the daughter-in-law of Idaman. The Sholehah, who obey and obey their husbands and in-laws. Huh, I don't care!"

" Specifically?"

" I'm tired of Jenna... Within two years of knowing and marrying Farhan... But he didn't make his son and wife comfortable..."

Jenna bengong herself. He felt sorry for Karolina. Where was that cousin of his who used to be so brave and confident? The marriage should give him the comfort of life. Now he's not even happy.

It was in the stroller that the baby boy was brought by a baby sister to the house of his great-grandfather. Jenna looked at the baby boy whose body looked fat and cute. The baby's up. There was a funny voice coming out of her mouth when Jenna asked her to speak.

Jenna muttered in her heart. Hopefully Karolina's complaint was only limited to the outcry of her heart. It is sad that this handsome baby will grow up, but both parents divorced because they experienced many obstacles in their household.

" We go to the top, Yuk! Let's get Mr. Sutarto!"

Karolina's face looked radiant - series. "'really? Okay, nih. Now?"

" Of Magrib, dodol! Do you want to prepare for Baby Efron? Instead, you bring him a blanket and warm clothes... Especially if Oma wants to come? Let's refresh a little!"

" Yes, Yes,!" Jerit Karolina happy.

The woman came out of the main house with the baby and her baby sister to return to the house next door.

" Oma is the same Opa going?" tawar Jenna's.

" Morrow at noon we will follow. Jenna! Your mother said to Karolina to talk more. She's been experiencing the baby blues since Baby Efron was 4 weeks old. Plus, Mrs Hisbillah was too willing to manage all her children's households. Farhan was busy with his work. Be Karolina who is stressed by herself because she is under a lot of pressure from her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law."

The scales of Oma Farida explain.

" Is this what makes Opa's health drop? For feeling guilty about marrying Karolina and Farhan?"

Si Oma nodded . " Our families differ a lot from their families. So Karolina was looked upon badly in the eyes of her husband's family. Just because she was a model and model. Grandfather was surprised, because with a ketus the mother-in-law exposed all the shortcomings of Karolina as the daughter-in-law of the Hisbillah Family!"
