A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 7. Special Guest

Mr. Bejo is already getting ready with the white Alphard Mr. Feri used to use to his office in Sudirman. A simple and deft old man has worked for almost 15 years on Mr. Fery Darmawan as his personal driver.

The distance of Pasar Minggu-Sentul will be less than 50 minutes if the traffic is smooth this afternoon. Along the way, the mother was busy with her social media. Jenna closed her eyes while listening to Pak Feri's favorite western slow rock songs of the 90s, which Mr. Bejo tuned in medium volume.

At the main gate of the Damash family settlement, they were greeted by two security guards. One man immediately escorted the Alphard into a street between the mother house and Aunt Amanda's house.

The special parking lot was reserved for the main family of Opa Damash, namely from his 'children, son-in-law and grandchildren. Because there is also a hidden road to get out of the housing complex directly to the main road Sentul. The emergency exit was fused and camouflaged with a white-walled and tall fence.

" Just this way, Ma, Pa! " jenna said to the small door that led to the kitchen.

The smell of cooking instantly burst out as Jenna passed by. There were two other employees who were seconded to prepare a party dish for the night. One chef was giving orders to prepare various ingredients for the next dish.

In the middle room is already filled with relatives who came from around Sentul. For them the presence at Mr. Damash's birthday celebration was like an obligation. For the survival of their families and businesses.

Jenna turned to the left, which was the corridor leading to the family's private room. While the guests who stay in place in a two-story building on the right wing of the main house, limited by swimming pool.

" Jenna, come here, son!" call Aunt Amanda who immediately brings her niece to the family room. There was Karolina and Isti. Jenna did not know the couple who wore rather simple clothes.

" This, Isti's parents! "

Jena immediately received their hand. Isti was already wearing a looser dress. However, his young face was still very pale. It's not easy for a teenager like Isti . Just 18 years old, just graduated high school and pregnant.

" This is my nephew, he's been betrothed to Ramadhan Gozali by Mr. Damash."

" I'm sorry, Isti ya, son!" whispered the mother who claimed to be named Satuti.

" Once you go, sir, Mom! Don't regret. These girls are just victims. Later let my father will sue the Goza for responsibility." Said Aunt Amanda again.

Since yesterday he brought Isti and his parents to come to his house. It's not easy to convince a simple husband and wife that Amanda Damash's mother will help solve their problems.

Not just silence, fear and shame with the disgrace done by Isti.

Though they hope a lot if their children can complete their education until graduation SMK that will help the economy of his family.

The wall clock in the main hall was already heard, clanging. Aunt Amanda said goodbye to leave them for a while to keep an eye on all party readiness.

" Is she healthy?"

" Healthy, Sister Jenna!"

Karolina walked a bit limped up from her seat. After this event their dear Opa birthday. Next week, Aunt Amanda's family will be making a seven-monthly event for her eldest daughter .

After the men prayed in front of the main house, the guests filled the front room . There were even two large tents in front of the house.

Opa appeared to the middle of the room with his great clothes, smooth written batik with black and white . The man grew more manly and confident, staring at everyone who was sitting sweetly before him.

" Assalamu'alaikum, my relatives, friends and friends and children and grandchildren are also honorable invitees" said Mr. Andrian Damash opening ceremony.

" I'm actually ashamed that guests came to celebrate my birthday. Actually it's not my age that's increasing but decreasing, he he."

Opa Damash's unequivocal voice received a warm welcome from his friends who attended. Some clapped their hands boisterously, some also began to make loud whistles.

"It seems like the only one I want right now, we have fun gathering here, in Rahmi's heart. Don't forget, eat well!"

Seen from inside Om Danang appears with his twin grandchildren, Vania and Vino escorted by their father, Toby who pushes a two-story cake in a wheeled basket. The birthday cake on it had candles burning on both numbers, 7 and 4.

Guests sang happy birthday songs. Si Opa was moved while blowing out the candle. There, only one less, his first grandson, Ajie Bayu's family were absent because he , his wife and son were held captive in Medan .

Aunt Amanda was helped by some busy people cutting and handing out the two-storied cake to small paper plates. Then the cake was distributed to all the guests present. Alternately with family members, relatives and guests stand while giving gifts.

Yesterday, Jenna had sent a pair of jogging shoes with the most preferred brand Opa. Not to mention the deposit of Mas Bayu Ajie, who asked to buy gifts for the Opa, but Jenna had asked for payment in advance through m-banking.

From Jenna's dictionary all this time, it can be brothers but if it's a matter of money, the business is different! Incidentally Opa leather jackets for hunting are outdated and have not bought a new one. The face of Jenna's eldest sister is getting more and more manyun, because her sister chose the best leather jacket!

"Marrel! classmate of top businessmen, cook kadav Kado make Opa Jacket cheap!"

The brother was getting cocky while still video calling with his sister." Brandon plans to invite Aunt Jenna, Oma Nika and Opa Ferry to Medan. If you want to come, pay yourself a round-trip ticket!"

" Pardon me, Mas Ajie is not fun, nih . " complained Jenna closed the conversation. Uh, still heard in his ear the laughter of his brother and wife. Uh, sebel.

That's how the children of the Darmawan Ferries family grew up more freely compared to their other cousins. Because their parents did not dabble in the military.

Only the doctor Arunika stressed that his son was always responsible for all his life choices. If you make a mistake, you have to dare to pay the risk!

This is where Jenna's dilemma, oscillating between dreams, hopes and reality!

He was forced to live independently after graduating from college. Not want to bother like his mother who became a pediatrician in a large hospital.

Half of Jenna's mother's life is learning and learning, as medical science is growing. Precisely the father now more time, when some of the subsidiaries can already be represented leadership to both boys.
