THE COLDEST SNOW'S

ROUTINES

James escorts Michael to an old brown house. The house is not too big, but looks shady and comfortable.

"This ...?" ask Michael.

"My house. It's just not occupied. You can use it for a while" replied James.

"Hello James!" greet a woman who Michael believes is over 40 years old.

"Hello Miss Meyer" James replied to the woman. A smile was seen on the woman's face and Michael could see clearly how the woman seemed to put her heart on the figure of a James.

James could be said to be a gallant man, although not very handsome. The muscle muscles in his body were so obvious with the sleeveless T-shirt he was using.

"Aren't you inviting me to your house?" ask Miss Meyer.

"I'm busy, Miss," James avoids Miss Meyer's intentions as he finds out trying to get close to her.

Miss Meyer leaves James, who opens the door to Michael. He gave me the key to the house that he always took with him where he was. The first house he occupied when he arrived in Erskine City.

"thank you. How much is the rental price of this house?" ask Michael.

"You don't have to pay the rent. I'd like to thank you if you cleaned up and took care of her during her stay here. If you need anything, you can find me at the farmhouse down the road" James said.

"All right, thank you very much. Oya, aren't you going to take me to a store that sells photographic equipment?"

James opened a cupboard in nana with a black suitcase. James opened it slowly. Michael's eyes were round and seemed to be fascinated with all the items in the closet. Photographic equipment as well as various types of cameras look so beautiful in his eyes.

"This is yours?" ask Michael again while continuing to look at one of the cameras that have been his target since long ago.

"Yes" James replied with a smile.

"Can I borrow it?"

"of course. I'd love it if anyone likes photography as much as I do."

"Jamess!!" seen again by Michael, a young woman calls James. This time, however, the woman shamelessly approached and hooked her arms around James' neck.

"When are we gonna walk the street, handsome?" ask the woman named Claudia.

"I'm busy, pretty. Didn't you see that I have a guest?"

"Ahhh I'm sorry handsome. But I can't let you be followed by those flirtatious ladies. Let's go to your house and I'll satisfy you" Claudia said.

glekk ...

Claudia's words were so frontal that Michael swallowed his saliva. From the appearance of Claudia who is so sexy, Michael is very confident that the two will soon do the next process between a man and a woman.

"I go home first, there's something I need to finish" James said.

"Well, thank you very much" said Michael. He sees James taking Claudia into his car and taking her away.

*****

For Michael who was used to living alone abroad, such a thing was common. She can even cook and do housework.

Michael opened the front door and let the house run in the wind and receive sunlight. A woman approached with a basket.

"Jamess ... Ohhh my dear Jamess!" shouted the woman and directly entered the grounds of the house without knocking again.

Michael who saw the woman from the living room immediately stood up and walked towards the door, "Sorry Mam, but James is not here."

"Who are you calling Mam, huh?!" said the woman was angry. He does not like to be called Mam because he seems old.

"Ahhh, sorry Miss," Michael immediately read his call and apologized. He told the woman that James was not there.

"Ahhh when I was happy. I thought he was staying here. Then, this is for you, "the woman named Joan gave a basket that turned out to contain vegetables and fruits to Michael

Disappointed face was clearly printed on Joan's face, making Michael's curiosity increased.He who initially did not want to care, now was like a mother who always wanted to know about the latest information.

"I'm sorry if I wanted to know, I saw from yesterday that there were a lot of women who approached James."

"That's why I'm upset. I love James, but. He is indeed the richest man here.he has a large farm and plantation. When will he look at me" said Joan.

Michael saw sadness on the woman's face. Michael saw that James liked most women aged adults, even arguably the age of 40 years and above, while James himself looked young.

"I'm sorry, Miss, for making you sad. You'd better meet him at his house then."

"alright. Food is for you. I'll make it special for James. Think of it as our introductory gift" Joan told Michael.

"Thank you very much, Miss!" michael said, holding up a paper bag in his right hand.

He went inside and then took out the contents of the paperbag, "Ahhh pretty well early in the morning do not need to go out looking for food. Thank God for the food you gave me through that woman."

Michael ate the food. He plans to go around to see. He also had to buy some necessities because he did not bring clothes. The clothes he was currently wearing belonged to James who was in the closet, despite being slightly oversized. He borrowed it for a while before he got a new one.

"For Miss Al!" greet Grace, a beautiful 5-year-old girl.

"Beautiful morning," Alexa who is a teacher at a kindergarten school greets back while stroking the head of the little girl named Grace.

"Miss, is Brandon here yet?"

"Brandon's? it doesn't seem like baby. Grace goes to class first yes, later Miss tell Brandon that you're looking for her" Alexa said gently.

"Thank you, Miss," with a cheerful smile, Grace made a small run to her class. Meanwhile Alexa stood up to welcome the students who came.

5 Minutes later, Brandon was escorted by his parents. The togetherness and harmony of the Brandon family sometimes make other families so envious to see it.

"Miss's Eve!" greet Brandon. Both of her parents also smiled to say hello to Alexa. There's not much they do, just take Brandon and then go, that's the daily routine.
