What happened yesterday? It was Monday. I was happy yesterday since Manang accompanied me in the apartment. I have someone to talk here in the apartment.
Who is Manang? She is the one who work as a cleaner every Monday in the apartment of my partner. She is 69 years old. She has a lot of stories that she shares to me. I was enjoying while listening to her. I love her a lot. I'm really comfortable with Manang.
I chatted my partner that I was bored. I was so sad always since my roommates were always busy and he was on duty also then he said that he will sent Manang here in the apartment so that I have someone to talk here in the apartment and he was the one to pay Manang. I was so happy since I love Manang. She was really kind. I love the way she talk.
I wake up 8:30 am. I was so happy since I slept early. I couldn't expect that. After 1 month, it was my first time to sleep early again. I didn't know and I remember I was busy at my phone then I felt sleepy and I didn't noticed that I slept already. I still remember the time since I saw it already before I slept while I was using my phone, it was 11:30 pm. When I wake up, I felt great since I have enough sleep. After few minutes, my partner calling at me that Manang was on her way here in the apartment. I was so excited then I response to him saying thank you and I will wait manang.
After 5 minutes, I heard someone a voice outside the gate then I opened the door and I saw Manang. I was so happy. When we were inside already, I asked manang about her breakfast but she said she was done. While we were talking, I cooked my breakfast a scramble eggs and noodles. I gave also Manang then we ate breakfast together.
After I washed the dishes. I sit then we were started talking a lot of random things with Manang. She shared to me about her experiences, about her grandson. She said her grandson help her also the finances. She said, he was taking an education course so I was shocked since we were the same then I asked her what was the major then she said Mathematics. I shocked again because we were both the same with the course then the major also.
She told me stories too, a creepy stories. She said it was happened on November 1 at night. She couldn't sleep because she heard that there was someone walking in her kitchen. She was really nervous. She thought it will be gone but it didn't stopped, walk again and again. What she did, she went to the kitchen then she saw that no one was there. She turn on the lights in the kitchen. When she went back on the bed, she never heard anything. She was thankful because she can sleep already.
Another night again, it was November 2. She couldn't sleep again because she heard another one but it wasn't the same. She heard someone knocking at the door. She didn't mind it but it continuously knocking at the door. She observed it first if it will stop but it didn't. She decided to talked the one who knocking at the door because she believe it wasn't a human but something a stranger thing. After what she did, it was finally stopped. She was thankful again because she can sleep already.
After that hearing experiences from Manang. I felt really nervous to her. I said to her that she should always pray before she sleep.
During lunch, I decided to cooked our viand. I decided to cooked a "Tinulang Manok". I missed it already. I asked Manang if she likes it then she said it was her favorite. I sliced the veggies then I prepared the ingredients. I started to cook while Manang continued sharing some stories about her life. She was the one also cooked the rice. After I cooked our viand, Manang tasted it and she said it was really delicious. I teased her if it was true or not.😁 She said yes, a promise.☺️
We prepared our lunch, Manang was the one who get the plates then I was the one who put our viand into a bowl and I get the rice too. Manang lead the prayer then we ate already our lunch. After we ate, I washed the dishes again.
Then after, we talked again. We talked a lot. She shared also that she missed her boss or Madam in her previous job. She work as a maid then she requested to me that if I can search the name of her Madam in Facebook. I asked the name, the complete name. I tried to search it then we already found her. I gave my phone to Manang so that she can saw the face of her Madam. While I was looking Manang facial expression I felt her that she missed her Madam a lot.
It was 4 pm, it was the time that manang will be going back to her house. I don't want her to travel also if it was dark already. I gave a food to Manang so that she has a viand to her dinner. She don't need to cook. I said she must be careful and I say her thank you a lot for the time and accompanying me here in the apartment.
"I was so happy since I have Manang yesterday. She accompany me. It is a greatest happiness to me. I enjoy a lot. I need it since I felt demotivated and I am so bored. Thank you for Manang especially to my partner who make an effort to sent Manang on me."
