School Holidays


Starting this Saturday Rey is off school, until the graduation announcement later which has not been set when the time is.


Because there are no activities at school, he more and more time to help the mother at home. Early in the morning he started a laundry pick-up anther and took over the duties of mother ironing the customer's laundry.


When taking the laundry in the mining mess, he remembered his duty towards the occupants of 105. Soon he approached the security guard and asked permission to take the key as ordered by the owner.


"Oh, yes. I have to clean up" Rey said for a moment.


Rey immediately approached the guard post on the right side of the entrance. He saw a young security guard standing guard at the substation while watching the soap opera from TV tube 14 inc in the room.


"Excuse me, sir," cried Rey kindly.


"Sir, I can take the key 105. I should have cleaned the house in the morning but since the owner was there I just did it today,"


"Yes mbak. Mr. Wibie has arrived?" ask the security guard


"Oh. So the man's name was Wibie anyway," Rey nodded her head while smiling to herself.


"He sir. Yesterday afternoon I saw him at the cafe with his co-workers,"


"Ok mbak's. It's key. If you're done, don't forget to bring it back here again, yeah,"


After receiving the key to ksmar, Rey immediately passed from the security guard post. He stepped into Mr. Wibie's room which was located below, to the right of the stairs.


The atmosphere this morning was so quiet. Maybe because of the weekend, many workers return to their families or vacation out of town.


All doors are closed. But it could be that the occupants are still asleep, continuing their dreams while free from work routines. Rey opened the door to the house. From the smell, the room was uninhabited for several days. Rey left the door wide open for the air in the room to change.


After observing the state of the house, Rey gave a small nod. Now he knows where to start his work.


The space is not so large. There is only one room, a central room, a small kitchen and a bathroom. Not so dirty, it looks so that the residents are very concerned about cleanliness.


Rey took a broom that hung beside the bathroom. Then he opened the room that had been sealed shut. Apparently the door is unlocked. The bed was also neat and still clean. But as requested, he took off the seprey following his pillowcase.


Then he began to sweep the room further by mopping the floor and wiping around the bed and the closet worried that there was dust left behind. Once everything is in order, he looks for a replacement seprey to install.


Other than the closet, there were no more piles of clothes around the room. He ventured to open the closet in the corner of the room. Of the two doors, only one was unlocked.


All the clothes in the closet are so neat. After observing the pile, Rey picked up the seprey that was placed at the bottom of the closet. It takes an almost blue-dominated seprey and puts it on the bed.


After neat, do not forget he sprayed room fragrances so that the room was fresher. The owner's room is now tidy. He closed the room and went to the kitchen


Nothing needs to be done here after a clean sweep and dipel. There are no dirty eating utensils. In a closed kitchen set also piles of food that is neat. So too with the refrigerator.


Rey sees the state of the bathroom, to ensure cleanliness, Rey brushes a few corners even though it looks still clean. Now he just wiped the sofa in the living room. He looked for a vacum cleaner, but did not meet. Finally he wiped the sofa parts using a hand cloth.


For no more than 15 minutes, Rey had cleaned her employer's house.


"He..he." he smiled faintly when he could finish his task quickly.


Before leaving the house, do not forget he sprayed the fragrance of the room on the side of the guest table.


Dirty Seprey has been put in plastic and he will take it home. When she wanted to close the door, Rey was startled by a voice from behind her.


"Thank you, yeah. This morning you have cleaned the house" he said with a smile that expands. The dimple of the man's cheek makes the smile look more sweet


"Attent. Enter first. There's something I want to tell you, "take the guy and let Rey in kindly.


Although a little hesitant, Rey paused her steps to leave the house. He followed the man inward.


"Sit Rey. Let me get you a drink, let's go,"


"Ga, sir. Don't bother,"


The man headed to the kitchen and picked up a cold drink that was in the refrigerator.


"What do you drink? Soft drink or mineral water?"


"White water only sir,"


The man was carrying a can of fanta and a bottle of mineral water. He put the drink on the table and took a seat next to Rey,"


"drink. You must be thirsty after cleaning this room," he said slowly as he circled the entire room with the look of his eyes.


"I don't want to clean the room myself. But if a few days are not occupied it can interfere with my breathing. I'm allergic to dust,"


Rey just shut up. He chose to take the white water presented at the table and gulp it down quietly


"Have you had Rey's breakfast?" ask the man again.


"You know my name" Rey asked innocently without answering the man's question.


"Yesterday your friend called that name to you,".


"Oh yes," Rey became embarrassed and smiled thinly covering up her stupidity. The man smiled amusedly at Rey who was trying to hide her embarrassment.


Before long, he reached into his pants pocket. Take out a wallet and take out a few hundred thousand pieces of money. He gave it to Rey with a very friendly smile.


"Take. Not as a wage. This is a sign of gratitude for being kind enough to help me,".


"Most sir. I'm just cleaning the tiles and changing the seprey, really,"


"That's it. If you refuse him, one day I will no longer ask for your help," said the man still with a friendly smile.


With a slight hesitation, Rey accepted the note and slipped it in her blouse pocket.


"Thank you sir. I'll let you go home first. Dirty Seprey I brought home huh?"


"Yes. Thanks"


The man immediately got up from his seat following Rey from behind. He waited at the door until Rey disappeared with the speed of the motorbike he was driving
