The Man Full of Wounds

The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 2


" Good morning, room service." Alanna said in front of the door, knocking on the door while tidying up her uniform and her long black hair.


Long Alanna stood up but there was no sound whatsoever from inside the room.


" Good morning. "Back Alanna knocked on the door.


Soon the door leaf moved and emerged from within a man in his thirties with a stick to his right to balance his standing self, although his face shows a look of displeased face is not denied that the man who stands in front of Alanna has a handsome face, which is very handsome,with thick black eyebrows added with a pointed nose and lips that are rather thick and equipped with a firm jaw do not forget the chin and mustache that is somewhat black indicates that the man in front of this alanna has not shaved or indeed deliberately left.


" Why look at me like that? never seen anyone with a cane? " the man said in front of this Alanna with a ketus.


After the man made a sound, Alanna realized that her daydream was staring at the man. " I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that, I'm the new waiter here." Obviously Alanna while looking down did not know what to say.


" I didn't ask." Said the man was still sniffling and turned around into his room not telling Alanna to come in or throw him out. "Why not go in? don't you want to work? " the man turned a little towards Alanna.


"ah! ja. " Alanna goes inside immediately.


When entering the room we will find a king size bed in the white bed cover that dominates the space, the bed facing directly to the transparent glass window that dominates the wall, to the right of the bed there is a comfortable soft sofa facing the direction of the television attached to the wall of the room, in this room is also equipped with a one-door refrigerator, which is, two-person special small dining table, wardrobe and bathroom.


" I'm sorry, you don't take it personally I'm new to this job so it might be a bit awkward. I'll start working sorry for not being in your comfort." Clearly Alanna though convinced the man did not need his explanation in view of his careless behavior walked limping towards the sofa and sat there while opening open a pile of paper on his desk.


Because there was no response, Alanna immediately began work starting from cleaning the bathroom, tidying the sink table, bottle bottles that returned in neat arrangement, replacing towels and bathrobes with new ones. After finishing with the bathroom alanna switched to forging sleep, tidying up pillows and bed covers. Arrived while cleaning the table in front of the television, with doubt Alanna came forward.


" Don't clean this table, just leave it like this, I don't want to have important papers lost or scattered. " Said the man before Alanna made a sound to clean the table.


" Alright sir, then I'll just clean the floor, if you're not comfortable with me cleaning you can come out for a while, sorry I don't mean to throw you out." Obviously Alanna but ignored by the man who was still seriously reading the paper held regardless of Alanna then began to work cleaning the floor using a facum cleaner although not too noisy but with the presence of the man in the room makes Alanna not free to clean the room.


After she was done with her task, Alanna rushed out but was stopped at the door as the man called her.


" Alanna, sir ." Answer Alanna timidly.


" Would he complain to the manager, let alone this is my first day at work ? " alanna's mumbling is restless. "Why sir ? anything I can help you with? " continue Alanna again when men do not speak.


" No, you can come out ."


" All right, then excuse me sir. " Alanna replied in surprise mixed with relief as she turned out of the room.


That was the first day Alanna started her new job, when the break arrived he was accompanied by his new coworkers Gita and Ayu who turned out to be no different age with him during lunch breaks in the hotel staff's special canteen.


When she finished her work hours, Alanna decided to go straight home even though Ayu and Gita invited her to walk that afternoon.


" Asalamualaikum, mama ! Alanna's home !. " Alanna said that when entering the modest house owned by her family even though it was not luxurious and only had 2 rooms, Alanna remained grateful, Alanna only lived alone with her mother, Alanna,he is a child and his father has long died when he was in high school because of an accident while working from the company where his father worked to provide a number of compensation funds for the work Alanna used for school and college expenses.


Since her father died Alanna's mother, who was only a housewife, decided to open a catering business to continue living, even though their lives were simple, Alanna remained grateful.


" Walaikumussalam, have you gone home, son ? " answered her mother who appeared from inside the room.


" It's ma."


" How did your job on the first day work, smoothly ? " ask her mother.


" Alhamdulillah smoothly ma, Alanna entered the room first yes want to rest, tired of it. " Anna answered as she walked to her room.


"Here rest."
