A Friend to Jenna

A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 58. Meaning of Life


Mr. Sutarto took the group with a car owned by Mr. Adrian Damash. An Inova is black. They made the trip after finishing the dinner a little late.


Sister Fani sat in front, next to Mr. Sutarto. While in the middle bench Jenna held Baby Efron. The baby's mother, Karo began to close her eyes. In the back seat of the baby's luggage... Starting from the stroller, baby tub, to some crackle bags containing diapers, wipes and others. Similar to the innate refugees because there is one disaster that hit the region.


"'You're planning on staying a month at the Peak?" jenna asked still couldn't believe the amount of luggage. It turned out that it was all for the needs of a baby who was now being embraced.


" If you need to!" Karolina replied indifferently.


" Monday I'm back, you know. I work Karo!"


" Take care of Jenna!" said lazy.


The journey has entered the Ciawi region, after exiting the Jagorawi Toll Road. Traffic seemed to have faltered slightly after a red light on the T-junction visited Gadog.


Pak Sutarto has been khatam carrying this four-wheeled vehicle through back and forth, Puncak - Sentul. It used to be done by his employer almost every weekend


At least Opa still have a place to change the atmosphere of their busy work. A place to rest your body and mind in this Peak area. In the form of a large villa building owned by the family, a large vegetable garden and open land similar to a neat grassy field, which is facilitated for the activities of the village community around the villa. Unless used for the benefit of another villa tenant, they are charged a fee that is managed financially by the local neighborhood administrator.


Their arrival had been informed by Oma Farida since this afternoon. Looks villa atmosphere that feels clean with the smell of fresh room fragrant. Understandably carrying a baby, they must maintain the cleanliness of the entire room in this two-story large villa.


Mang Acep, Mr. Suheri and his wife Bik Inah, have welcomed their arrival. Moreover, Bik Inah who has never come out of this region for almost a year.


"'Amaz, it's Mom's granddaughter, handsome saucy pisan!" The old woman exclaimed as she swung Baby Efron in her arms.


The baby began to chatter cheerfully. Especially along the way He is in his baby car seat, so it is safe.


" Acep's wife is already fried with corn! Let's be brought here!" said Mr. Suheri.


The man came out of the villa and met Mr. Sutarto. There are many bedrooms on the second floor. But Karolina asked them to sleep in the lower room only. Except for Opa's master bedroom which remains tightly locked. Because they do not dare to disturb the contents of the sacred room that is different from other bedrooms.


" Sister!" call Karolina.


" Yes, Mom?" replied the 30-year-old woman. He was very deft and quite skilled at taking care of Efron.


" Sister slept next to my room. If you hear Efron crying. Just open my room door. It's okay. Fearful of this drug from Doctor Gunadi there is the effect of his sleeping pills and I did not hear Efron crying..."


Sister Fani's face looked concerned. How the influence and pressure of Mr. Farhan's family made the beautiful woman often uncomfortable in his home. Especially when the woman who is often called Nyai's mother criticizes Karolina is exhausted. Even in front of Opa Damash.


Sister Fani sees Mother Karolina being patient, but helpless. Especially when he heard the grandfather had problems in his heart. So he stayed there. When mom, grandma and other family are busy taking care of Opa Damash heart surgery.


Jenna fell asleep after receiving her mother's phone call twice. Women can't impose their will, because helping Karolina is more important than anything. Including when Jenna refused to meet with Pandu Samidi again!


The next morning Jenna is awakened by the sound of Efron crying. The baby is being taken care of by Sister Fani. While Karolina herself slept on the mattress with an uncomfortable state.


" Thank you, Non Jenna. Let Sus, clean first and take a shower!"


" Look down, Sister!"


Halimun began to descend from the top of the mountain as seen from the glass window of the family room in this villa. The villa was built in the style of a country house in Central Europe. This building does have many openings and wide glass windows. But the place is surrounded by a high iron fence, CCTV and security guards taken from some local youths. So if there are thieves or robbers willing to act in this villa, they must think a thousand times. They also have no guts, after hearing the name and position of Mr. Adrian Damash before retiring, as the owner of this private villa.


There was a knock on the side connecting door, Teh Asih carrying a tray containing breakfast for them. Three plates of fried rice.


" Non Jenna, huh?"


"'Yes, Tea. Just goin!"


The two-child woman immediately arranged the dishes on the dining table. He also began to take out the cup and make a sweet tea. Their families are quite upset with the habits of the Damash family members who often stay at this Villa.


When Mr. Damash's grandchildren are staying over. They would rely on whatever the trusted Pak Suheri Family provided to guard this villa. Including preparing food and snacks.


Moreover, they made their own building, a separate residence located behind the main villa and given the trust of managing the vast vegetable land.


If Madame Farida came, or her son and daughter-in-law stayed over, they would have brought quite a lot of supplies. Starting from a pile of groceries, side dishes to a mountain of snacks.


" This is his son, Non Karo?"


" Yes, Tea... Want sling? Karolina doesn't seem to feel well..."


" Yes, we're here looking forward to anxiety, since Mr. Adrian is ill and has to have surgery..."


Jenna knows it. Their family does not live in a villa. But Opa always sent money to Pak Suheri and Man Ujang as salary to take care of the villa. Although this villa was built with half of Mr. Feri's personal money. All members of the Opa family can use the facilities belonging to this large Family. Especially his young people. But usually they ask permission first on Oma Farida.


Teh Asih is fun to chat with Jenna while holding the tiny baby. Said the Teteh, the situation in this village has changed a lot after covid. Some villas whose buildings are scattered in this mountainous area for more than two years are no longer rented by people from Jakarta. As they call it. So many residents lose some of their income from the lack of villa visitors there.


Jenna, who learned a lot from her mother about babies and children, still chose to sit in the house. Although the baby was born and raised in Bogor City. There are still many differences. The house occupied by Karolina and Farhan is more in the South of the Rainy city, so the weather is hotter. Because there are many industries and housing developments that mushroomed on the border of Bogor, Sentul and Depok...


" Non eat first! Later fried rice Mak Imah cold hunt!"


From the middle room door appeared Sister Fani in her light blue uniform dress. This time he was wearing a heavy jacket. Her face looks lipstick.


" Sister wants breakfast, right?"


" Now, Non. Let me get Baby Efron ready first!"


Jenna enjoys a special plate of fried rice with a half-cooked egg, and a sprinkling of shrimp crackers. The funny thing is that Baby Efron also plays his mouth like someone tastes food a sign that he is hungry too.
