PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Laundries

Plakkk

" The mosquito is alan!!"

I don't know how many mosquitoes have died because of Grace's clapping in the room that was eventually occupied by Grace.

In the end Grace does sleep alone, not sharing a room with Nani, as Nani herself refuses a single room with Grace, instead, and chose to cram in his other colleague's room at the parlour rather than having to face the fierce and grumpy Grace.

It was almost twelve o'clock at night. However, Grace was still not asleep. In addition to the many mosquitoes that bother. The hot room and the mattress that felt hard on her body made Grace really feel uncomfortable.

" I can die standing if I stay in this room!" grumpy Grace is upset.

" It's all because of that old man alan and his men!" It felt so hateful for Grace towards Rizal that caused her to end up in the nursing home like she is today.

" Be careful of my vengeance, old man!" Grace seemed to be spreading a threat. He promised to avenge what Rizal did to make him in exile as he is today.

Grace walked out of the room. He's snapping his hoddie 'cause he wants to get out of the parlour. Grace wanted to get some fresh air because the building was so hot.

" Grace, where are you going?" mother Henny's voice coming out of her room greeted Grace who was walking across Henny's room.

" I want to get some fresh air!" answer Grace.

" It's night, Grace. You should have rested in the room." Henny's mother advised Grace. Because it was midnight, and tomorrow Grace had to get up early to serve the elderly residents of the orphanage.

" Rest in the room? That room is more suitable to be called a cage than a room!" Already upset in his room he could not sleep because he did not get the desired facilities, now Henny's mother instead told him to go back and rest. Grace must have been upset.

" You should get used to your room it's Grace." After sighing, trying to be patient with Grace, Henny's mother replied to Grace with very subtle language.

" Used? There was a tormented me lingering in that place. It's hot, the bed's not soft, lots of mosquitoes ..." Grace grumbled by rolling her eyeballs.

" You can just burn the mosquito repellent or use an anti-mosquito lotion." Henny's mother suggested Grace some options.

" A mosquito repellent burn? What is mosquito-burning medicine?" Of course for a person like Grace who since childhood lived full of luxury did not know what mosquito repellent burns. In his house or apartment, where there is a single mosquito that enters his room. (Yes, the mosquito is also afraid of times, do not want to go into the room, Grace is fierce 🤭 )

" Let's get it, wait a minute ..." Henny's mother then goes inside her room to take a mosquito-burning cure for Grace.

" It's my mother lighting the fire." Henny's mother returned with a mosquito repellent that had been ignited and also a buffer device.

" Uhuukk uhuukk ..." Grace coughed as she inhaled the smoke from the burning mosquito repellent that Henny's mother had given her.

" Mom is going to kill me, right!? I could have had to inhale the smoke from the medicine!" ketus Grace was still coughing.

" Oh, I'm sorry, are you allergic to the smoke? Then just use an anti-mosquito lotion. I'll get ya!" Henny's mother went back into the room to get Grace an anti-mosquito lotion.

" Try applying it to your skin." Henny's mother came out of the room with a bottle of lotion.

Grace received and brought the bottle closer to her nostril.

" It must be a cheap lotion, right? It smells bad." Grace turned her shoulders. He then handed the lotion bottle back to Ms. Sari. " My existing skin can be damaged by using this lotion!" grace's lips passed from the presence of Henny's mother walking into the front room of the parlour.

While in his room, Rizal breaks down his body that feels tired. He just finished checking some of the incoming emails. Most of the clients are asking for help to investigate and solve their problems.

For fifteen years he has been in this profession. Initially because when he was young so fond of reading the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who created the phenomenal detective Sherlock Holmes. So he wanted to be an investigator, even though his parents wanted him to be a police officer.

Rizal picks up his phone, checks out some messages he hasn't had time to open. He suddenly remembered that he had installed a wiretap on Grace's phone. The device can send out all the chats even though Grace is not talking on her phone. The device will function to record what sounds around it as long as Grace's phone is active.

Plakkk

" The mosquito is alan!!"

" I can die standing if I stay in this room!"

" It's all because of that old man alan and his men!"

"Beware of my vengeance, old man!"

That's Grace's voice recorded and sent to Rizal's phone.

Rizal pulled the corner of his lips hearing Grace grumbling. He could imagine how Grace's face right now must be shrouded in anger because it must be in a place that is inhabited by many elderly people.

" What can you do to me, miss? You intend to run away? I'll make sure you can't go anywhere." Rizal believes that Grace will not be able to escape the punishment that must be received by the young woman.

***

Grace couldn't sleep well last night, so she decided to just sit on the bed with her knees bent. He slouched his face on his knees because sleeping on a mattress made of weathered cotton made his skin feel itchy.

Tok tok tok tok

" Mom, wake up, Ma'am!!"

The sound of knocking on the door and the sound of someone coming from behind the door made Grace who had just closed her eyes gasp in shock.

With a rude snort Grace got off the bed and stepped towards the door to open the door of the person who was bothering her earlier.

" Mr ...."

" Heh, can't you? Not bothering people to sleep?!" Not done yet the person who knocks on the door finishes the sentence, Grace has already snapped first.

" Sorry, Ma'am. Mother is already Shahuh. Ma'am has to be ready in the kitchen" the parlour clerk told her why she woke Grace.

" Eh, you know yes! I am sleepy, not yet asleep! So you don't bother me!" Grace closed the door again violently.

Brraaakk

Tok tok tok tok

" Mr ...!" the parlour clerk came knocking on the door and called Grace. But Grace did not care about it, until the man finally left Grace.

Shortly after, Santy, a parlour clerk who once mentioned Grace as Rizal's wife, approaches Grace's room to have Grace join another parlour clerk who is already busy in the back.

" Mr Grace ...! I've been waiting for Henny's mother in the kitchen!" Santy called out to Grace.

" Sir ...!!"

" Ck, what's up, anyway?" Grace finally opens the door to her room, as Santy's voice and the knocking of the door bothers her deeply.

" Mad has to join the other officers in the kitchen, because a lot of work needs to be done" said Santy.

" Lots, Ma'am. Cooking for breakfast elderly and residents of the orphanage, cleaning the parlors, washing, ironing the clothes of the elderly and bathing the elderly who can not walk. Later will be part of each task, Ma'am. Today happened to be Grace and I was found doing laundry for the elderly, Ma'am." Santy explains to Grace what Grace has to do.

Hearing the row of tasks that must be undertaken by several parlor officers including himself, Grace was shocked.

" Huhh?? Washing old clothes? Hiiii ..." Grace turned her shoulders. He could not imagine if he had to wash the clothes of people he did not know.

" Yes, Ma'am. Today we have that part of the job. We'd better do it now. The weather has been less bright lately. So if we wash now later in the afternoon can iron his clothes," said Santy again.

" Why not just use laundry services, anyway?" grace Protest.

" Dear if you hire laundry services, Ma'am. Still mending funds used for useful things," replied Santy.

" How much does it cost to pay for laundry services? Let me pay if this parlor can't pay." Arrogant Grace said she would pay the laundry.

" But the rules are here, our workers - we do the job, Ma'am." Santy said that doing work related to the elderly was the job of workers in the orphanage.

" Let's go to the back now." Santy then invites Grace to go to the kitchen.

***

Grace covered her nose as she looked at the pile of old dirty clothes before her. Instantly his stomach was nauseous to want to vomit because it smelled the unpleasant aroma of the clothes. Even to move the elderly clothes into the bucket he used his toes.

" Hoek ..." Grace's stomach seemed to be turbulent because the unpleasant aroma was increasingly thrust into her kiss.

" Why, Ma'am?" santy asked, looking at Grace who looked like she wanted to vomit.

" It stinks so much. You're the one who washed these clothes." Grace ran into the bathroom because she could not bear to remove the contents in her stomach.

" Are you good now, Ma'am? Let's start washing. Wear this one, the dose for one wash eight pieces of clothing, Ma'am." Santy gives Grace instructions on what to do after Grace leaves the bathroom.

" I never wash. If it's not ART that washes my clothes, I always put it in the laundry. Now Ma'am just put this clothes in the laundry bag, keep quickly looking for laundry near here, I'll pay." Grace insisted on using laundry services to wash the clothes of the elderly.

" But, Ma'am ...."

" If you don't want to follow my orders, you just wash this shirt yourself! I don't want to!!" emphatically Grace then leaves Santy making Santy confused.

A few hours later, at about nine in the morning, a laundry employee came to Wreda Beach under Henny's mother's orders.

" Excuse me, from Super Clean laundry, ma'am." The laundry brother got off his motorbike and approached the caretaker who was combing the hair of an elderly man.

" Don't wear laundry here Mas" replied the parlour officer who thought the brother was about to offer her laundry services.

" I want to take the goods that want to be laundered from here, Ma'am" said the brother of the laundry.

" Who ordered it, Mom? No one ever does laundry here. The wrong address, Mas "the parlour clerk thinks if the laundry brother is the wrong address.

" But the address is right Panti Wreda Aged Dusk here, Ma'am." While the laundry brother remains confident if he is heading to the right address.

" Who ordered it, Mom?" ask the parlour officer.

" Here it says his name is Santy, Ma'am." replied Brother Laundry.

" Santy's mom?" The parlourman certainly knew Santy. However, he does not believe that Santy ordered laundry services.

" Is there something here called Santy, Ma'am?" ask the laundry brother.

" There is, anyway. I asked the man a moment ago." The parlour officer intended to call Santy.

" What's up, Yas?" Henny's mother who was about to go fetch money at the ATM and shop for parlour needs asked Tyas, the parlour officer who had talked to the laundry brother.

" This, Mom. This mas says Santy's mom asked this brother to come here." Tyas told Henny's mother.

" Santy order laundry?" Henny's mother was surprised. Because all this time he had assigned several orphanage employees to wash and iron the clothes of thirty elderly people in the Wreda home for the sake of reducing the expenses of the home.

" Mom doesn't believe, does she? I don't believe it either, Mom. Why, Miss Santy suddenly called laundry?" ask Tyas in surprise.

" Yes, you call Santy quickly, let him explain why he called the laundry." Henny's mother tells Tyas to call Santy immediately because she needs an explanation.

" Okay, Mom." Tyas rushes inside the parlor to call Santy.

" Wait a minute, Mas "While to Brother Laundry, Henny's mother asked to wait for a moment.

" Well, Mom." replied the laundry brother chose to go back to his bike and play his phone.

In less than five minutes, Tyas managed to bring Santy forward to meet Henny's mother and brother laundry.

" Santy, is it true that you contacted this laundry party?" Without further ado, Henny's mother asked Santy.

" Hmmm, i-iya, ma'am." replied Santy nervously.

" What is going to melaundry? Doesn't every employee have a rotating assignment every day?" Henny's mother doesn't understand why Santy decided to hire laundry services without her knowledge. Santy is not new to the home.

" Hmmm, it's not really my will, ma'am. But Grace forced me to hire laundry services. Grace said she couldn't wash, so Grace told me to call the laundry. Said he'd pay for the laundry, ma'am." Santy honestly told Henny's mother the truth.

" Well Grace? Grace told you to put laundry on?" Henny's mother immediately massaged her temple when she found out that the idea of hiring a laundry service came from Grace.

" You call Grace, she's already facing Mom at Mom's work house, Santy!" Henny's mother paused her intention to the ATM. He planned to leave after speaking with Grace.

" What's laundry, Mom?" ask the laundry brother.

" Sorry, Mas. Looks like it was just cancel. The employee here will be working on the worker in the parlor." Henny's mother apologized for cancelling Santy's order.

" Yeahhh, what the hell, Mom? It's been all the way here, wait a long time, the edges are off. Indemnity dong, Mom! I have a lot of places to visit. This is hampering my time to work!" Laundry brother grumbled because Henny's mother canceled using the services of her grandson.
