"Rica..."
The call immediately made Gerica turn around. She also looked at Clara who was running towards her, panting heavily.
"Huh ... What are you doing on campus? How come it's so slow to take the form?"
Gerica shook her head slightly. She also showed Clara a blue lunch box. "Send lunch to El."
"What!! Lunch for El?" repeated Clara in surprise and made Gerica nod weakly. "Eh… how come it's stuck. What's wrong?"
Gerica explained that Mrs. Ella had asked her to deliver lunch for Elnathan. She just didn't want Elnathan to have a snack on campus. This is where Mrs. Ella doesn't want Elnathan to get sick from snacking carelessly. That's why Mrs. Ella asked Gerica to deliver lunch for Elnathan.
"Oh, my God. Aunt Ella is like that? Even though Aunt Ella was never like that with El." Clara said in shock.
"Maid Rose said that too. Anita used to say that too, and this is my first time."
Clara chuckled. She immediately invited Gerica to go to meet Elnathan. Earlier she had seen the man sitting in the campus garden alone. He might have been still there when Gerica came. Unfortunately, when they arrived at the campus park, neither Gerica nor Clara found Elnathan. The campus park was deserted, and only a few people were sitting there. Sitting on the grass with snacks in front of them.
"He... go?" said Gerica, annoyed.
"Patience!! He likes that, sometimes he likes it arbitrarily. It's understandable Rica, he feels capable and has everything. That's why he likes it casually." explained Clara.
If that's the problem, of course, Gerica knows. She knew very well what rich people were like. Where everyone will do as he pleases. Where money speaks in this, and above all. While the poor and have nothing, are easy targets to make them suffer more.
"Then where are we looking for? If we can't find it, we'll just eat it."
Clara chuckled, lightly patting Gerica's shirt. "You're crazy! Let's just go to the rooftop first, who knows he'll be there."
Gerica nodded weakly and followed Clara's footsteps. The woman didn't even go straight to the campus rooftop. But still invites Gerica to take a walk for a moment to look at several buildings, which will become their learning facilities. Clara also explained some of the spaces and their uses. Then Clara asked Gerica to go to the rooftop.
There Gerica could stare at Elnathan who was enjoying a cigarette in his hand. Gerica approached and handed the boy's lunch box by covering her nose. She couldn't stand the cigarette smoke at least, which would make Gerica suffocate.
Elnathan turned his head with one eyebrow raised. "Why cover your nose!! And what are you doing here?" said Elnathan.
Gerica withdrew her hand and took a deep breath. "Your mommy was told to deliver lunch. You don't have to ask too many questions, you can ask your mommy yourself, not me!!" explained Gerica completely. At least the man didn't ask a lot of questions and also talked a lot.
"No need!!" refuse Elnathan.
"Hah ... okay. Clara, let's just eat it. He doesn't need to be given!" Gerica pouted.
Hearing this, Elnathan immediately pulled out his blue lunch box. He stubbed out his cigarette and immediately opened the lunch box. See what his mommy cooks for him. There is only meat, rice rolls, and also seaweed. Like it or not, Elnathan immediately ate it. At least his hunger can be blocked with rice balls.
Gerica chuckled along with Clara. He said he refused, but those who still want to eat? While waiting for Elnathan to finish eating, Gerica and Clara stood on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the breeze on their faces. It feels very different, and I hope Gerica feels at home in this city to study.
The woman opened her eyes quickly. Staring down with sparkling eyes. She thought, what if she pushed Elnathan off this floor? Is it possible he is still alive or dead?
"Hey, it's dead. It's very rare to jump from here to still be alive." cried Clara.
"Well, who knows? I have evil thoughts, to push him down. Don't bother!!"
Clara glanced at Elnathan for a moment. The man looked directly at Clara sharply. But instead of being scared, Clara stuck her tongue out at Elnathan.
"He's good. It's just that he's socially wrong. Moreover, his friends like to make him go the wrong way." explained Clara.
"Tell me to use maps if you forget your way home." Gerica pouted.
Clara hit little Gerica's hand. That's not what Clara meant. But the way of free association made Elnathan act like that. If only his association wasn't this free, maybe Elnathan's attitude wouldn't be like this.
Hearing the gossip, Elnathan immediately finished another mouthful. Closed the box roughly, and went straight to them.
"I heard what you were talking about!! That mouth has nothing to do but talk to me!!"
Gerica and Clara both turned their heads. They also looked at Elnathan who was approaching him, throwing the box at Gerica. Luckily Gerica is ready to date, just give it a try if not. It can crumble at home if this box is broken or damaged.
Not wanting to argue for long, Gerica immediately left without saying anything. After all, meeting him was the biggest disaster for Gerica. If not for free housing, and guaranteed meals. Gerica wouldn't want to have to work in this house.
"The point is to be patient, Gerica." Clara giggled and made Gerica whimper like a baby.
-MyMaid-
"Have you taken it to El to eat?" Ella said.
Gerica was shocked to death when she opened the door and was immediately greeted by Ella who was clutching her chest behind the door. Of course, Gerica immediately nodded enthusiastically. If she also witnessed Elnathan herself eating, the food she cooked and she brought to campus. It's just that Gerica can't take pictures of Elnathan while eating because of her old phone. There is also a camera that is not very clear, and certainly, the photos will be blurry.
"Yes madam. I have brought the food," replied Gerica nervously.
"Good!! Now come in!!"
Gerica nodded slightly and went straight to her room. Although not so spacious, this room is the most comfortable. There are two beds, a small white wardrobe, air conditioning, and a television. Complete facilities, the bathroom is also next to this room. No need to have to go into the kitchen just to take a shower. The owner of the house will be furious.
"Hades… tired," complained Gerica.
All day she did not stop working. In addition to her duties which only take care of big babies. Gerica also had to help the other maids to clean the house. And when it comes to Gerica, she has to clean the floor with a mop. From the first floor to the third floor. Do you know what Gerica will be like in the future?
The feeling of wanting to close her eyes, what was there was that Gerica was surprised by Rose who had just entered, and immediately threw herself on the bed in a prone position.
"Why Rose, tired?" Gerica asked quietly.
"I just want to sleep for an hour. I swear I'm sleepy," whined Rose.
"I'm also sleepy. Let's go to sleep, we still have two hours to cook later." take Gerica.
It would be stupid if Ella or the householders were angry when their maids preferred to sleep over work. After all, she's also human, it's natural to feel pocketed, tired, and want to sleep. She is not a computer or noise that is used twenty-four hours non-stop.
