A Friend to Jenna

A Friend to Jenna
Chapter 92. By Opa Damash's orders


" Open, Opa, Oma! " Greetings Jenna. Then he kissed the hands of the two twilight-age couples who were still harmonious and looked harmonious.


" Oh, great-grandson Oma is coming! " Oma Frida cried when she saw Efron carried Sister Feni down from the car. The baby's move was limped - taut approaching them.


The baby got a hug, an anxious kiss until the sling was full of affection... Oma forced her to hold Efron so that Sister Fani could take out the baby's purse. While the Oma asked for help from ART who was behind the house to help bring out the items in the trunk of the red Honda Jazz.


The living room in the Adrian Damash residence is now crowded by the funny behavior of Efron who is considered by Oma and Opa Damash. Moreover, the baby knows that he is loved by the people around him. So that Efron is getting more caper, aka look for attention.


" Ndoro, Non-Jenna bring a lot of fruit!" report Bik Sum while they are preparing lunch. The fruits were piled up on the kitchen table.


" How much, Sum?" tanya Oma who is still busy seeing the hape, because she got news from Amanda, her son in Kalimantan.


" A lot of it, ndoro! Until the fridge is full... Yesterday Den Tedi sent medicine to Ndoro Kakung!" report that ART again.


The old woman smiled sadly... Precisely his grandchildren, from his eldest son, Feri Darmawan more quickly respond... Until they also house Karolina, her baby and the nun are at home


it's at the Sunday Market. Though Karolina's parents' house next door was also empty. Since his son-in-law was placed in Kalimantan as his new official seat.


" Come Jenna, Sister Fani eat! Opa had eaten earlier with his own menu!" Said his grandmother.


At the table there are several serving plates providing various food menus ... Usually Oma Farida prepare a more simple menu such as capcay gravy and fried beef pith. The complement can be sambal dadak or sambal bottle souvenirs, from various regions.


Since Opa began to be healthy, many types of foods that are prohibited by doctors to be consumed by him.. The opa diet menu is a balance between carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins....


For a long time, at the dinner table it no longer serves a favorite menu of the Damash family, such as Padang rendang, Soto Betawi, duck gulai or other coconut milk soup foods combined with processed meat or chicken.


At the dining table now it is more to prepare dishes from a variety of vegetables, such as karedok , pecel, or gado-gado... Sometimes salad or pickled vegetables as a distraction.


This time on the table there is a bowl of Betawi acid vegetables with a side dish of cork balado seasoning. There is also fried tofu-tempe. Mandatory side dishes after eggs and fish.


Efron is fed by Bik Sum while being waited on by Opa Damash. The baby occasionally walks in the living room. But it will return to Mbak Sum when the rice in his mouth is finished he chewed.


" It's really smart that Efron ate it? Want big fast to take care of Mama," said Opa Damash, while stroking Efron's hair gondrong a little curly.


After eating, Jenna and Oma move into the living room. One ART person presents melons and dragon fruit that has been cut into small pieces for Opa. While on the other table there is a larger piece of melon, also piles of grapes that have been washed clean using baking soda so that the influence of chemicals and dirt in the skin of the fruit dissolves after rinsing with clean water.


" Explain, Opa! So Jenna doesn't have to wonder." Jenna said casually.


" Opa is happy that now you are starting to be alert when you are in your car on the highway. Jenna's heart!"


" You mean Opa, that Avanza car was deliberately stalking Jenna?"


The man let out a long sigh, trying to calm his mind. " It was not Opa's desire to give Karolina the status of a widow at her young age. Moreover, Efron also had to lose the affection of a father. " Said the man sad. " Opa betrothed Karolina to Zaenudin's son Hisbillah because he believed Farhan was the best man for Karo!"


Jenna smiled... He saw the face of Opa who looked older with all the problems that befell one of his favorite granddaughters. " In fact... Opa's chosen man is just a labile man who can be called a mother's son!"


" That's right! Opa did not stop thinking Farhan was arranged by his mother. Like a man with no attitude! " Anger the man was upset. " Jenna! Opa got an information about the movements made secretly by the Farhan brothers... The land of Parung began to become a dispute between the extended family of Hisbillah, after being offered for sale online on the internet... So some of Hisbillah's children are convinced that our family is behind the failed sale of land!"


" Silent Opa! Jenna now realized that all this time thought everything was fine! It's worth Opa preferring Karolina and Efron to stay in the Sunday Market!"


The man smiled..." Just be careful Jenna! Opa believes you are capable of protecting yourself... But keep carrying personal protective gear, yeah! Maybe your enemy isn't just one or two men!"


This is what Jenna no longer likes as a result of their matchmaking... A marriage bond that is expected to provide many financial benefits from the Hisbillah family... During the wedding it was fine! Of course, Opa business partners were still comfortable, although little by little they began to see the inability of Farhan's brothers to manage the business. Moreover, building a large project such as the establishment of an International boarding school with a vision of religious values background. The project is too big and risky!


Karolina and Farhan's divorce was also finally heard by Opa's business colleagues. One by one they began to retreat from several Hisbillah business projects. This includes their previous efforts to inject funds in housing projects being built by Farhan in the Banten area.


" That land doesn't belong to the Hisbillah family, Opa? Why so many, huh?" ask Jenna again.


" It's Hisbillah's grandfather's family legacy...There are still inheritance rights for the younger brother of Mr. Hisbillah other... So they did not agree that the plot was sold by one of Farhan's brothers without a foreword to the extended family... Though the money was used to pay the bank's considerable debt! which is the personal interest of Mr. Zainuddin's son Hisbillah!"


Long Jenna was stunned... In the friendship of grandfather with his business colleagues it is not just to look for profit. But there is a value that they all believe in, namely mutual trust, loyal friends and brotherhood. Understandably they are the former defend the country that never gave up...So they would rather not join some of the Hisbillah family-owned companies that exist in daily practice to be less committed.


" Opa has assigned one person to be Arunika's personal driver... If it's your father, there's an assistant who's always with him... At home someone will stand guard in front of your house!"


Jenna became confused after hearing his grandfather's words. His health has not recovered...


" Opa knows, Papamu and Sungkono meant well by hiding Karo and Farhan's divorce all along. But here Opa felt guilty and did not have to stay silent to see the ridiculous behavior of the former mother-in-law Karolina and her daughter-in-law!"


Jenna glanced at Oma who was just mesem-mesem from earlier hearing the conversation between Grandpa and his favorite granddaughter. Moreover, the problem this time is Nyai's mother, Kak Farhan's mother and her three brothers. It seems that the seeds of hostility between the two families will grow bigger, taller and more tapered in the future.
