Glance Jessica

That morning Bi Ai just finished drying clothes. The sound of a knock on the front door made him stumble down from the second floor of the boarding house.

Bi Ai peeked for a while and smiled while opening the door.

"Mother Jessica, huh?" the middle-aged woman asked the young lady standing at the door.

"Yes. Sorry, this is Bi Ai, right?" Jessica asked back.

"Yes, Mother. This is bi Ai. Earlier Bu Wahyu called aunty, he said Mbak wanted to enter today," replied Bi Ai.

Jessica nodded.

"Come, Ma'am. Sign in. The room was cleaned up aunty earlier," the woman asked.

Jessica followed Bi Ai through the hallway on the right porch. The shape of the stairs has changed, from the original rotary stairs now into winding stairs. The location has also been moved, previously in front of Ivan's room, now right above the kitchen at the center of the end of the house.

"Which room would you like to fill? Number eleven, twelve a or b?" ask Bi

Ai.

"Ehm .. This one, Bi. The others for my friends. They're only here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow" Jessica replied.

Bi Ai took out a few keys from the pocket of the trousers she was wearing. Then take one of the keys that has been given the number eleven in the keychain.

"Don't bring any other furniture?" asked Bi Ai who was confused when she saw Jessica just carrying a large suitcase in her right hand.

"She, Bi. The car is soon. I walked first" replied Jessica.

"But Wahyu said, if you want to install the air conditioning itself, and there is an additional electricity cost," explained Bi Ai.

"OK, that time also Miss Revelation already ngingetin," said Jessica. His feet stepped into the room while looking around the room that was three point by five by six meters. As well as a bathroom measuring one point five by three meters, which is adjacent to a small kitchen of the same size on the left of the room.

As her phone rang, Jessica picked up the phone and walked out. Down the stairs with a small run and left Bi Ai in front of her room.

The middle-aged woman felt a little strange about the young lady. Jessica is keeping a secret. However, Bi Ai brushed off the bad taste and returned to the clothesline, which was now moved to the top of Ary's room.

Then the middle-aged woman returned busy folding and ironing clothes that were already dry.

Every now and then he noticed Jessica and the four tall men all. They seemed busy moving mattresses, cabinets with large mirrors, as well as tables and swivel chairs. Put it in three empty rooms with instructions from Jessica.

After finishing the four men immediately say goodbye by bowing their bodies towards Jessica.

The woman came out with the four. Shortly afterwards, there was the roar of several cars driving away from the house.

The sound of knocking on the wall and the sound of chatter of some people, was heard from upstairs as Tia entered the house with Ayu.

"The new residents have already entered times, huh?" ayu asked while looking up at the stairs.

"Yes. Good, so add rame," Tia replied as she opened her shoes.

"The same question as the other residents. Hopefully a handsome guy," said Ayu expectantly.

Tia laughed at the words of her friend. "I'm gonna take a shower, yeah. We'll buy the side dishes together. Males wants to cook. I'm tired" said Tia.

Ayu nodded, then went inside her room as well.

Ivan entered the house whose door was wide open with a frown. He looked up to the top floor, then stepped up the stairs.

Three men were installing air conditioners in two rooms. A young woman waved her hand at Ivan.

"Hi" said Ivan as Jessica approached.

"Hi too. Just home?" ask Jessica gently.

"Yes. Ehh .. We have not yet known. I, Ivan," said the young man, extending his hand.

"I'm Jessica" said the beautiful young woman.

Ivan was momentarily stunned by the beauty of the face of this woman in front of him. Coupled with a tall body and smooth white skin, adding to her beauty to be almost perfect.

The sound of people chatting from downstairs distracts Ivan. He waved his hand as he saw Ary, Chandra and Satya looking up.

Then Ivan said goodbye to Jessica and immediately went downstairs.

"The new residents have entered," said Ivan with a face of sumringah. However, his smile suddenly vanished when he noticed Tia's pair of eyes peeking out of the bedroom window

The three men who saw it laughed. They did not care about Ivan who was grumbling.

"Udah, hunted shower gih. Later anterin I buy a side dish," said Tia while opening the door.

Ivan nodded and went to his room, accompanied by the laughter of his three friends, who finally fell silent after glaring at Tia.

That night the sky was very clear. The air is warm enough to make the residents choose for longer outdoors.

As usual, Ivan accompanied the singing of his friends with guitar quotes.

All pairs of eyes turned to look at Jessica who had just descended from the second floor. A sweet smile was on his face that looked perfectly polished.

The knee-length black dress she wore looked very contrasting with her white skin.

"Hello all," said the reddish-colored half-haired woman.

"Hello" answered a few people.

Ivan took pains to hold back his admiration for the figure of the beautiful woman. He bit his lower lip while pretending to tune the strings of a guitar.

"Where are you going, Ma'am?" ask Satya who is still amazed by Jessica's appearance.

"You're working" Jessica replied, tidying up her hair. He stood right next to Hasni who momentarily stopped feeding food into his mouth.

"Work? How's the night?" ask Chandra innocently.

"I work at nightclubs. So the manager is there" Jessica explained, smiling sweetly.

"May dong, once in a while we come to the club," said Ary who had been staring ceaselessly at the woman's smooth calf which was plastered in front of him.

"Can. How about...: um, what Saturday? Let's make it so," Jessica asked.

Ary excitedly nodded. Ivan and Satya. While Chandra only noticed the three men who were very excited.

"OKAY. I'm saying goodbye, yeah. It's rame club," said Jessica as she waved her hand. The tip of his eyes briefly glanced at Zein who was sitting leaning against the wall. The man was the only one who did not return the wave of his hand.
