BLESSINGS OF LOVE
Oh, my Jena

Magenta and Jena took pictures together, both of them put on a style and the faces both exuded happiness and a sense of pride.

They had just finished their undergraduate graduation, both of Jena's parents were also present, deliberately coming from Palembang to see his son inducted into the bachelor.

"Sir Etha, try over there well, take another picture of us!!!" pinta Magenta to her brother.

"Yes, hurry!"sahut Aletha followed his sister's wishes.

Not just alone, but also posing with other friends who are both at graduation on that day.

"Jena, now that your parents and my parents are taking photos together," Magenta asked his best friend.

"Okay, hayuk," said Jena.

Then Jena and Magenta invited their parents, then they took pictures together.

"Haven't?"aletha asked who was getting tired since then following her sister took pictures everywhere.

"Oh kasian, my beloved sister exhausted well," said Magenta while hugging Aletha.

"He's tired, chasing you you here and there. The feeling used to be when I graduated was not strange as you like the photos," said Aletha while pretending to be upset.

"Sir Etha will be the age when the graduation, I will be today," said the youngest while winking.

"Already yuk, now take Jena and her parents, we eat together. Papih has booked a place in the restaurant," said Mr. Edmun asked Magenta to invite his best friend's family to eat together.

Then Magenta immediately met Jena and conveyed the invitation.

"Come on Jena, Papih and Mamih already booked a place in the restaurant," Magenta said, inviting Jena.

"Okay, said Mother and Father do not have to bother. Let your families alone, we will make our own show," Jena tried to resist the subtle.

Magenta did not accept, and then he invited Jena's parents directly.

"Come Oom and Aunt should join. Papih and Mamih had already booked a place in the restaurant," Magenta invited Jena's parents.

Both of them looked clumsy and felt bad.

Seeing that, Mother Edmun immediately approached and invited them all.

"Let's Father and Mother join, right Jena I have considered my own child. Let's consider it our own brother," asked Edmun's mother.

Eventually, Jena's parents join the Magenta family.

Both Jena's parents and Jena also joined the car driven by Mr. Edmun.

While Aletha and Asrul follow behind their car, and Asrul is still loyal to his old car which is still maintained until then.

They all entered a luxurious restaurant and of course the price was exorbitant.

It turned out that Mr. Edmun had also ordered a good meal that the Jena family would not be able to pay for.

"Thank you, Mr. Edmun, for bringing us to eat in a place as good as this with this delicious food" said his father Jena.

"Every once sir, there is a moment of children at graduation" said Mr. Edmun.

"Where will Jena work?"asked Mr. Edmun while pouring green tea from the pot into his father's cup Jena.

"Didn't you work three years ago at Mr. Asrul. Jena has long joined the office owned by Mr. Asrul," replied his father Jena innocently.

Of course, Mr. Edmun was shocked, because all he knew was that his son-in-law was just a lecturer.

There was a treaty between Asrul, Husein and Arya. To cover the activities of Asrul and Husein outside the campus, the company they founded uses the name "AHA Construction".

And who advanced as Director of course Arya, so Asrul and Husein can still remain as lecturers and entrepreneurs without being known by the Campus.

Even the one who does not know is his father-in-law, because Asrul had never said that he had any other business than teaching.

"Do you know which person Asrul is?"ask Mr. Edmun again to his father Jena.

"I don't know sir, met you never before. Only know from my son if he has a superior of three people, Asrul, Arya and Husein if not wrong," replied his father Jena again as it is.

"If Genta will work or want to continue S 2, sir?"ask Jena's father to Mr. Edmun.

"He wants to work, and starting early next month he's going to Jakarta. Already accepted in "Power Construction", the owner happened to be my friend for a long time," said Mr. Edmun with a wry smile.

"Well, that's a big, big construction company. Almost all government buildings and government projects are done by the company," his father Jena was amazed to hear Mr. Edmun knew the owner of the large company.

Mr. Edmun only smiled, but his heart was half-dead. He felt stupid for not knowing that his son-in-law had a construction company as well.

Then Mr. Edmun was seen calling someone, and before long came a car and a driver.

The driver of the car into the restaurant immediately met Mr. Edmun.

"Jena, take your parents to walk around the city of Semarang. This has provided a car and also the driver, later the father of this driver will accompany the Jena family until the father and mother return to Palembang," Mr. Edmun told Jena and his parents.

"Oom, thank you, I'm sorry we got to trouble Oom and Auntie family," said Jena feeling moved.

"Well, Jena, we're like brothers. Don't have that feeling well," Mother Edmun added.

Both Jena and Jena's parents beg themselves, they are escorted by a driver who has been ordered by Mr. Edmun.

Upon arrival at home, Mr. Edmun called Asrul to ask him to speak.

"Asrul, papih want to ask at the city limits there are new hotels and apartments. It used to build the building he said company AHA Construction, do you know the company ?" asked Mr. Edmun while glancing at his daughter-in-law's face.

Hearing her in-laws question, of course Asrul was quite surprised. But he immediately took a breath and tried to give an explanation to his in-laws.

"Yes, it's a company owned by Asrul's friend named Arya. But incidentally Asrul with Husein was invited to join there," he replied slowly.

"Why don't you tell us? even Papih was surprised to hear it because it turned out that Aletha's house was used as the company's office," Mr. Edmun said again while showing a displeased tone.

"True, Aletha's house was used as an office and studio for the company's operations. And I did it with Aletha's permission" Asrul said.

"Hmmm, then why don't you tell Papih and Mamih, then why don't you include Magenta. In fact, he had to struggle to find an internship place in Jakarta".

"Luckily there is finally a friend of Papih who is the owner of Power Construction Indonesia, so that he can intern and immediately work there after graduating this," Mr. Edmun protested loudly to his son-in-law.

Aletha heard her father was having a fight with her husband, and she immediately ran over.

"Well, Aletha why did you also cover your husband's business until papih just found out earlier while talking to his father Jena. Turns out Jena was taken as an employee at your husband's company, but your own sister was left behind. You guys are so outrageous!!!" Mr. Edmun was angry and upset with his son and daughter-in-law.

Aletha looked at her husband who was sitting quietly in the guest seat of her family home.

"Look at Papih, the reason Mas Asrul did not invite Magenta to join because we wanted him to become more independent".

"Because if Magenta was invited to join Mas Asrul, surely he would still be spoiled and feel the company belongs to Mas Asrul so that he could carelessly. Evidently on campus was also so spoiled attitude to Mas Asrul," Aletha tried to give understanding to her father.

"Sorry Papih, this company is also actually the owner of Arya friends Asrul and Husein. Coincidentally Aletha and I lived in this house, so the house there was empty. So I asked Aletha's permission to serve as an office and studio" Asrul tried to explain again.

"Okay, about Magenta can thank the reason, only you have other efforts besides being a lecturer. Then why not tell us, until the papih must know from others. Exorbitant dong name," Mr. Edmun still did not accept because Asrul never told himself.

Aletha was silent because she also did not understand why her husband would not tell his father about the company.

"I just want to be independent, I don't want any family interference in setting up this company. Want to have a business really from scratch" said Asrul while staring at his in-laws.

Mr. Edmun digested the sentence conveyed by Asrul, then he replied, "Well, Papih will not interfere. But tomorrow Papih wants to know what your office is like".

Asrul nodded his head, understanding his in-laws wishes.

The next day Mr. Edmun and his wife immediately headed to Aletha's residence which was used as an office by his son-in-law.

The entrance of the house seemed open, but there was no one in it.

Mr. Edmun tried to get inside the house, and he and his wife went up to the second floor.

Husein seemed to be busy facing the drawing table designing a building, while Jena was also busy making mockups.

"Ehm...Assalamualaikum," Mr. Edmun broke the atmosphere by greeting.

"Oh...Walaikum...Oom Edmun, aunty.please go up," Jena looks surprised to see the arrival of her best friend's parents.

"Again busy all yeah," said Ms. Edmun.

Husein and Jena immediately approached the two old men and greeted them while kissing the backs of their hands.

"It is not busy either, just finishing the image and mock order for the project in Yogyakarta" Husein explained.

Mr. Edmun and his wife only mangosteen while looking at what is being done by his friends Asrul.

"Oom and Aunt from where? intentionally here?" ask Jena while putting two glasses of fresh drinks.

"Ah not really, we have dropped Magenta to the station, he must have started working tomorrow in Jakarta" said Ms. Edmun.

"Alhamdulillah well Aunty, it turns out Genta can be accepted in a company of that size," Jena looks happy to know his best friend works in one of the famous companies in Indonesia.

"You can also work here, it's been a while before Magenta had a job, too," said Ms. Edmun, either praising or insinuating.

"I work here because I was invited by Mr. Asrul, because there was a job building a hotel owned by Louis Orlando" said Jena as it is.

"Oh, the hotel in the city limits belongs to Louis Orlando, it's amazing you can get a job from a famous person like him," Mr. Edmun also conveyed a sentence with a somewhat insinuating tone.

"It just so happened that Louis was Asrul's schoolmate, Oom," Husein explained who Louis Orlando was so they could get the project.

"Hmmm, AHA Construction, what a cool name," said Mr. Edmun.

"Yes, it stands for Arya, Husein and Asrul, Oom".

"The company's been three years, but I just found out yesterday from Jena's father. I am really shocked, and feel not considered by all of you" Mr. Edmun quipped Husein and Jena.

"Yunita your wife Husein is Aletha's best friend. And Aletha if there's anything to tell and invite your wife, for example, now your wife is joining Aletha's dental clinic" Edmun's mother told the two of them again.

Jena who felt most so subdued quietly, she did not know what to say to the two Magenta parents.

"Now the most beautiful aunt's son-in-law where is it?" asked Edmun's mother in an unsightly tone.

"Went with Arya to Louis Orlando's place to talk about development issues in Yogyakarta later," replied Husein.

Mother Edmun's eyes glanced towards the bedroom which was right beside the stairs.

"This is Aletha's room, how much stuff? who occupies?"asked Edmun's mother while researching into the room.

"I occupy aunty, because asked Mr. Asrul to stay here. Keeping the house at once clean as well," said Jena slightly shaking.

Edmun's mother just nodded, then with her husband said goodbye to Jena and Husein.

In the afternoon when Asrul and Arya returned to the office, immediately Jena and Husein said that this afternoon Asrul's in-laws came to check the office.

"There are a few sweet-pitched sentences bro that they convey," said Husein while patting Asrul on the shoulder.

Hearing that Asrul can only smile while trying to guess what will happen when he returns to his in-laws' house.

Sure enough when the night returned to the house of his father-in-law, Asrul and Aletha immediately in court by Mr. Edmun and his wife.

Even though he tried to defend himself and give various arguments, Asrul's in-laws did not accept the existence of an office in his son's house.

"The house was Papih who bought it, for the residence of Aletha and her husband and children. But it turns out that now used the office, then the bedroom used by others. Soon you find another place, and return the condition of the house to a place to live again?" Mr. Edmun decided that inevitably had to be followed by Asrul.

The next day Asrul discussed the matter of his in-laws' wishes to all of his co-workers.

"Of that, we just moved into my house for a while. Let Asrul clean up the house. And Jena, you can stay in my pavilion" Husein said, trying to come up with a solution.

"But later your family will protest" said Asrul.

"Bro, my house is indeed a house left by parents. And the plan was to be sold by my brother. But as long as it's not sold, we'll wear it first. Who knows if there is a windfall, we can buy the house for the office" Husein explained to Asrul.

"Truely, it's better your parents' house. On the side of the highway, so if there is a windfall we just pay to the Husein family," continued Arya support the idea of Husein.

So they immediately moved all their work equipment to the house owned by the Husein family.

Arya orders some artisans to help Asrul repair Aletha's house to return to its original state.

And Asrul also added a second-floor bedroom for his son, then another upstairs room for his workplace.

Within a month Aletha's house was completed in the renovation and ready to live again as a residence.

"Later Edwin will stay at your house when the school is off. Now just stay here first, you just go back to your house, Etha," Edmun's mother said when told the house was done and Asrul wanted to bring his wife's child to live together.

"Ewin wants to be the same mother, Ewin does not want mother to go there. Mommy should be here with Ewin," said Edwin their child sulking refused to be invited to move from the house of his grandmother and grandfather.

Asrul was exasperated, because his in-laws were still trying to keep his granddaughter to stay with them.

Aletha in this case difficult to make decisions, on the one hand husband and on the other hand parents and children.

"It's up to you, that I've fulfilled all your parents' wishes. I am only a son-in-law, and also a husband who has no rights over his own wife and children" Asrul told Aletha as he left his father-in-law's house.

Aletha could only cry because she could not do much, she felt she was always weak and could not make decisions for herself and her child.

Finally Aletha occasionally stayed at her own house, but Asrul could not be as warm as usual.

Asrul only wants the three of them to be able to gather and live in their own homes, raising and educating children with his wife.

At the moment, he has a son who feels foreign to his own father. A wife who has no attitude, can only obey her parents without wanting to know her husband's feelings.

"Where is Pak Asrul? shouldn't we go to a survey outside the city?" ask Jena via her phone to Asrul.

"So, maybe it'll be noon. This morning I had to take my family to the airport" said Asrul and Jena immediately understood that his boss was with his family.

In the afternoon Asrul picked up Jena at the Husein family home which was his new office.

"Who will come to a location other than me and Jena?" ask Asrul to all his friends.

"I can't, this picture must be finished soon" Asrul said.

"I also can not join the pack, the project of building a private school yesterday, the draft picture was requested this afternoon by the foundation" said Arman.

"Me and Mr. Arya today want to meet with the owner of a hospital. They want to build a back of land to be used as an additional room again," Nurdin also can not come because he had to go with Arya.

Finally Asrul and Jena who went both to the suburban area of Semarang, there is a land that will be used as a tourist location.

"Is this the project of Louis Orlando too?"ask Jena while helping Asrul measure the area of the land.

"That's it, the successful man. And the business of the tourist spot is very making him richer," said Asrul while noting the results of the land measurement.

"It's nice to have customers who so trust our company well sir. Although he is very thorough and chatty but makes us also be more careful in doing his wishes," said Jena again.

After taking measurements, photographing the land and also making a video of the land, the two immediately got into the car again because the sky was suddenly cloudy.

It had been an hour of traffic jammed, because of heavy rain and strong winds so that there were big trees uprooted blocking the road.

Asrul and Jena headed east, but the car could not move and the queue was very long. Likewise from the opposite direction, no vehicle passing means stuck at the end of the road there.

While waiting for smooth food again, they talked lightly in the car.

"Because, all this time I've never seen you pick up a guy. Don't you have a boyfriend?" ask Asrul prank.

Jena gave a small laugh, then she replied, "Where would a guy like me, sir".

"Why do you think that?"asrul asked felt strange.

"It's difficult to answer, sir anyway I don't think too much about it" said Jena.

"Ah this you, why the hell? ever had made the same heartache guy? raped by a girlfriend and then abandoned?" Asrul again teased him.

Jena was silent, her face turned as if she was staring into a past memory.

"Mending if by the boyfriend anyway, this by his own uncle, sir," said Jena again slowly.

"You mean?"asked Asrul surprised.

"Yes, I was raped by my uncle, and I was kicked out of Palembang. Ten million to keep their mouth shut. Then I was told to Semarang to take care of grandma, even if not the biological grandmother. But only the distant siblings were considered grandmothers," the remark just slid from Jena's lips making Asrul turn his eyes wide.

"Money of ten million, given to parents partly. And I used some of it to pay for college. Fortunately our campus is friendly with poor students like me, so the cost can be paid every month," continued Jena again.

"Three years ago my grandmother died, and I was kicked out by her son because of the house they were going to sell. Fortunately, Mr. Asrul also pulled me to work and I could occupy a room at home first. Until a few months ago again expelled by the father-in-law".

Asrul looked at Jena, but he was confused about what to comment. Had just wanted to flirt with Jena, never even heard the story of the girl's life.

The car in front suddenly moved, apparently the road started smoothly and Asrul immediately followed the series of vehicles that began to move forward.

"It's ten o'clock in the evening, from here it's closer to where I live than to the Husein pavilion. What do you want? will I take you to the pavilion or to my house?" asked Asrul while glancing at Jena.

"To where you live, it doesn't matter" replied Jena.

"But later Husein or Yunita will look for you?"ask Asrul again.

"Of course not, they don't care about me. Moreover, Madam Yunita, boro-boro nanya, I say also will not answer," said Jena while chuckling.

Finally Asrul took Jena to his residence.

"How will Etha's sister come?" ask Jena to be worried.

"I went to the airport this morning, my in-laws took my wife and daughter to Europe. One month vacation around the European country" replied Asrul with a smile.

The two immediately went inside the house, feeling hungry and Jena made fried noodles for the two of them.

Incidentally Asrul when cleaning the house used to find some pieces of Jena clothes left behind. The clothes were kept in the room for the maid, then Jena picked them up and immediately took a shower cleaning herself.

Asrul went out of the room after taking a shower and got a hot fried noodle on the kitchen table.

Jena also shortly came out of the back bathroom and approached Asrul who was sitting facing fried noodles.

"I took another plate well," said Jena.

"For what, we've eaten a plate together. We're friends now, not lecturers and students anymore".

Jena smiled then they ate a plate together while telling stories and laughing happily. Then they also get carried away, so feed each other.

That night the two became open to each other, telling each other about each other's lives and also shedding feelings for each other.

"When it's late at night, where do you want to sleep? Want to be in Edwin's room upstairs or in the room down here?" ask Asrul when they're going to unwind.

"Where free, sir. I am no longer this virgin. Wanting to sleep in the chair here is also fine," Asrul felt that speech was very tempting.

"If you're in the same room, do you want to?" men if caught are curious.

There was no answer from Jena's lips, but Asrul got a passionate look from the woman who had been his student.

With no more words, the two dissolved into hugs and kisses in the room. Then Asrul pulls Jena into the bedroom which should only be him and Aletha occupying him.

Smouldering sighs sounded boisterous accompanied by the rush of rain water out there.

The two frowned, oppressing each other, until they screamed to feel the passion that poured out with great force.

That night happened, the next day happened again and in the days that followed, do not remember again that Asrul is the brother-in-law of his best friend.

Forgot the memory that Jena is now just his coworker.

At work, they are ordinary as if there is nothing between them.

After work, Jena must be allowed to go to a friend's house. No one knows who Jena's friends mean.

One month children and wives vacation in the land of people, one month also her husband make love to other women.

That afternoon Asrul was waiting for the arrival of his son and wife, as well as his father-in-law who had just returned home on vacation at the airport.

His eyes were fixed on the phone he was holding, his hands were trembling, his heart seemed to stop suddenly.

The short message he had just received from Jena made him feel like he had been hit by the ruins of a building.

"I'm pregnant".
