WHAT ABOUT ME?
20

After Haris said goodbye, I rushed to enter the house after saying hello, as requested by Ms. Parni if I came to enter the house directly while the door was open.

"assalamu'alaikum sir" my greeting to Mr. Ahmad who was enjoying a cup of sweet tea in the middle room.

"wa'alaikumsalam nduk, has come anyway, it's the mother behind you just go there"

I nodded then immediately followed Ms. Parni who was already in the kitchen.

from a distance I can see if Ms. Parni is peeling onions with some food ingredients that are ready on the table.

"assalamu'alaikum ma'am, sorry Jasmin was late" said I'm not happy.

"wa'alaikumsalam. new at six Nduk, still this morning. the child's mother also most later on the new tenth hour comes, Nduk, here we cook first after that you can sort out the rest"

"iya ma'am.". "this morning we both made some food menu to welcome the children of Miss Parni who will arrive soon.not just heavy food, just heavy food, ms. Parni also asked me to make ice fruit for her drink.

three hours we have been struggling in the kitchen, rice and some choices of side dishes have been presented on the table with ice fruit.

after I finished I immediately washed all the cooking utensils while Miss Parni chose to clean herself

there was a horn sound from outside, I who was still busy with laundry in the sink immediately cleaned my hands and then ran to the front to open the door.

two luxury cars entered the yard of Parni's house, after opening the door I rushed back to the kitchen because Mr. Ahmad had returned from buying crackers in the front shop.

"The same spirit Tio has come nduk? " ask Ms. Parni who just came out of her room.

Iwan and Tio are the names of the two sons of Parni and Ahmad

"mommy already, it's the father in front of them" I replied.

"yes, mother to the front first yes, please prepare the drink" she said then rushed following her husband in front.

I nodded then immediately made a drink for the daughter-in-law granddaughter Parni.

earlier Ms. Parni had told them what kind of drinks I should make for them.

three cups of coffee as well as five cups of warm tea were ready on the tray then carried it forward.

"please have a drink, sir, ma'am" I said as I placed the drink on the table.

"who is this, seems familiar? " ask Mr. Iwan as if remembering.

"you forgot Wan. he's Jasmin, Hana and Adam's son" replied Ms. Parni

"seriously ma'am, my goodness you've grown up Jasmin, have you graduated? " ask sir Iwan

I smiled "yet sir, just got into third grade this year" I replied

"wah, it means that underneath Iqbal is the same Amanda yes" he said while muttering a beard.I just smiled nodding, after finishing the hiccups I said goodbye to go back to the back.

Iqbal is the son of Mr. Iwan while Amanda is the daughter of Mr. Tio.

after finishing the kitchen business I turned to the laundry room to wash clothes, not much indeed because yesterday I had washed everything, now only the clothes belonging to Mr. Ahmad and Ms. Parni who were used yesterday and this morning are still dirty.

there was a washing machine and Ms. Parni advised me to use the washing machine, but because I was not used to it I chose to wash. Manual is to clean it myself without the help of a machine.

"Jasmin." called Ms. Parni from the kitchen, I was rinsing clothes rushed to the kitchen to Parni.

"yes ma'am, what's wrong? "

"let's eat first, then later on the work" he asked.

"e-don't need mom, mom and the others to eat first, this is Jasmin just rinse clothes, so giggly if left behind" I refused, I am very sad if I have to eat with him especially now there are children who are returning home, it feels reluctant if you have to eat with the employer.

"well ma'am. "after that I went back to rinsing clothes.

***

Day after day passed, every day I worked at the house of Miss Parni from morning to evening.

there I also started to get along with Ruri's mom and Yula's mom as Parni's daughter-in-law, they're both so nice that they even give me a hand to bring home to my brother Jefri.

today is my last day working at Parni's house because next Monday I'm going back to school, likewise with the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of Parni who today will also return to the city to return to do his activities after almost 2 weeks on vacation at the house of Parni ma'am.

I who was still in the laundry room was called Parni because her children would leave soon, she said they wanted to say goodbye to me too.

maa shaa Allah, so lucky I was met with a bsik person like the Parni family.

"Jasmin, aunt returned to the city first yes, later if you play in the city do not forget to stop by the aunt's house" said aunt Ruri after hugging me.

"yes, do not forget to play to the aunt's house as well, although different places, but we are still one city really" continued aunt Yula.

I smiled while nodding, I was reluctant to be treated special when I was just a maid "God willing aunt, later if given age, Jasmin will visit" I replied.

after saying goodbye they got into their cars, before returning to the car aunt Ruri and aunt Yula slipped money when I greeted them, he said for my pocket money and my sister they said.

thousands of thanks I say to them, do not forget I also pray that they are healthy safe until the goal.

"today's your last day working here huh nduk? " ask mama Parni.

"yes ma'am, because next Monday Jasmin has started going to school again" I replied.

"yes it's okay, you learn diligently yes, make both your parents proud of you"

I nod my head, even though it has only been two weeks working here, but the kindness of Ms. Parni and her husband is so great that it feels unbearable to stop working, but I have to continue school so that later I can reach my mind.

"Thank you for taking Jasmin to work here, ma'am" I said sincerely.

"same, I'm glad you're here because mom's house is so much more rame" I smiled in response to her words, after a little chat, after a little talk, I asked permission to go back to the back to continue my unfinished work.

15:30 wib

I was done with my job and wanted to say goodbye to go home.

"mom, Jasmin's job is done, Jasmin said yes ma'am" I said to Parni

"wait a moment" Ms Parni who sat on the sofa of the tv room also moved from her seat stepped into her room.

after a while, he came out with a medium-sized box in his hand

"this is your salary for two weeks working with mom, I'm very grateful because you have a job mother is lighter than usual" he said while thrusting a brown envelope at me.

I accept with a happy heart, today is my payday, I can buy a new toy for my sister according to my promise at that time.

"and this, Iqbal was this titip to give to you, actually he wanted to give directly, but he was hesitant, he said thanks for helping him while he was here"

"just accept, he sincerely gave this to you" he continued when I never took it.

"thank you so much for your help, ma'am, sorry if as long as Jasmin works, there is a job that Jasmin is not pleased with in the heart of mother"

"no duk, I actually feel proud of you, you who should be studying, should divide the time between study and work, I salute your persistence, you are, someday happiness will come in your life and you can lift the degrees of both your parents" he said sincerely.

after I finished saying goodbye, I immediately went home, I brought salary and pocket money from aunt Ruri and aunt Yula and gifts from Iqbal, Iqbal, happiness was so deep in my heart that I didn't realize that my smile would expand until I got home.
