Looking for a New Residence
Some places have been I cantongi as an option for my temporary residence later. After spending my dessert, I headed to the first location nearest to my present existence which is a two-story boarding house with many ornamental plants.
My motorbike parked neatly among other motorcycles parked in the boarding house. I slowly searched for the owner of the boarding house who had previously agreed to meet there.
"Mom Rahma?" Ask a middle-aged woman who seems to be throwing a bully plant in a flower pot.
"Oh, not Neng. I'm just cleaning here. Her mother is in the living room. Please enter if you want to ask kosan."
Turns out I was wrong. But luckily the mother told me that Ms. Rahma was in the guest room.
"Oh, thank you, ma'am. Then I'll just go see Ms. Rahma."
"Yes Neng, monggo..."
I also set foot towards the entrance of the boarding house.
"Excuse me..." I said.
"Yes please..." Replied a middle-aged woman who rushed up to welcome my arrival.
Seeing that mother was wearing a hijab I knew she was a Muslim.
"Assalamualaikum Ma Rahma..."
"Waalaikumsalam, come in son..."
With a friendly Ms. Rahma let me in and invited me to sit on the wooden chair in the room.
"This is the lovely kid who called?" Ask Ms. Rahma.
"True Ma'am, I'm Beautiful."
"You want to look at the room or negotiate a price first, son?"
"Maybe better see the room first, ma'am. Can you?"
"Of course you can, son, let me deliver. It just so happened that the empty room had two downstairs. So we can see right away." Said Ms. Rahma as she walked closer to the door of the room that was open.
"Here's the room. There's already a foam bed, a clothes rack, a fan." Said Ma Rahma explaining again.
Pretty clean and neat. In accordance with the price offered.
"Where's the bathroom, Mom?" Ask me who didn't find a bathroom in that room.
"For the bathroom it's common, son. So take turns wearing it and it's in that corner."
I'm nodding. In this case I was a little disappointed because it turned out that the bathroom was outside the occupant's room. Automatically, of course, later it will not be free, especially if there are other boarding children guests playing, especially men or their families.
"How's a Beautiful Boy? Is Nak Indah interested in costing in this boarding house?" Ask Rahma's mom enthusiastically.
"The house is eco-friendly and quite quiet. But I can't decide now. May I give you my answer tomorrow Ma'am? That's also if the room here hasn't been filled by anyone else." I don't want to refuse right now.
Because I still have not seen the other costs, so I should first accommodate for later comparisons.
"Of course you can, son. Just let me know if you want to rent here, and that too if it's still empty. Hehe..."
Rahma's mother replied to me while joking. I laughed because of it too.
"Mom could have, hehehe. Then I'd like to excuse you, ma'am. Tomorrow I'll tell you as soon as I can or not."
"Good Beautiful Boy. I'm waiting for news."
"Assynoltom..."
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
After saying goodbye, I continued again in the second choice boarding that I was looking for through the blue application with a letter logo.
It only takes 10 minutes to travel, I have arrived at the second boarding house. This house is quite large and beautiful on the front. There is also a large enough yard to park vehicles. There is a terrace with several chairs and tables to relax outside.
"Excuse me..." My broom in front of the door of the boarding house.
"I want to meet the owner of this boarding house there?"
"Oh, Mr. Aaron. There's a Mommy, but not here. His house is right next to this building. That one's Mama!" The girl pointed at a house enthusiastically.
"Oh, is that one?" I said I saw the house the girl pointed at.
"Yes Ma'am. There, at this hour usually Mr. Aaron and Ms. Aaron are at home."
"Oh, coincidence then. All right, I'll just go there. Thank you Dek." I said with a smile.
"Sama-sama Ma'am." The girl smiled too.
I also stepped into the house next to the one pointed at the girl. As soon as I got to the front door, I slowly squeezed the bell visible near the Window.
"Assynoltom..." The sound of bells.
It did not take long, the door opened and revealed the figure of a middle-aged woman with a long veil that covered half her body.
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am..." My broom.
It feels unethical just the doorbell to say hello to this Muslim woman.
"Waalaikumsalam Son, who are you looking for?"
"I'm Lovely Mom, I'd like to ask questions about the costs promoted in the Fb application." My spoken.
"Oh, yes kosan next door. Ja.. Yeah, well, let's go in, kid. We'll just talk inside. Come on, please sit down... "
"Good ma'am, excuse me..." I said again asking for permission to sit on the sofa that was welcome by the boarding mother.
After sitting facing the position, we also started a chat that was delayed.
"Sorry to interrupt her break. I'm here to see the boarding that was promoted on Fb. If it's suitable I plan on renting it for some time."
"Oh, can you, son. Have you seen her room?" Ask Mrs kosan.
"Not yet Ma'am, I came here first to ask permission to see the cost."
"could. Then let's go to the house next door. I'll find an empty room. But there's only one room, hopefully Beautiful Nak fits into that room."
"Yes, Mom come..."
We also went from sitting and walking to the boarding house next to the owner's house.
The building consists of only one floor but has 6 rooms and one kitchen space that seems to be used together.
"It's his room, there's only a bed and a closet and a bathroom inside." Mother Kos explained.
I was quite satisfied to see the room even though the facilities were not much but the bathroom was in the room.
"Then the kitchen's over there. The kids rarely cook. Usually they just cook rice using magicom and buy side dishes so only."
Well, for now the average boarding child does choose a practical thing. After all, if sharing the kitchen must be complicated to take turns cooking. Not to mention that there will be people who feel unfair in the amount of shared gas usage.
" Oh, ma'am, what about the rent for this room?" Ask me.
"For the price according to what is being promoted, son."
"Not less is that, Mom?" I tried to bargain the price.
"I think that price is cheap because in this neighborhood is also safe, there is security around the guard during the day and night."
I immediately felt like I fit this cosan. The price is still standard with existing facilities.
"All right, ma'am, I agreed to rent this room. Then about the payment can I use via transfer?"
"Alhamdulillah, can son. Let's go back to my house to be more free."
"Okay, come on..."
Seriate...
