"Ivory! Can you sweep upstairs first? I'm going to the market now to buy food for the upcoming senorito" Manang ordered

nativity scene to him, the mayodorma in the mansion where he worked.

"All right, I'll take care of it! I'll just finish washing here first" He replied with a smile.

He has been working in the mansion of demetrios for almost twelve years. His mother has been working in this mansion for a long time so she just took him when he was young. The don and donya who live in this mansion are also kind to them so there was no problem. in fact, they even send him to school. They are rich but they only go home once, maybe only once a month.

When Ivory finished her washing, she immediately went upstairs to do the sweeping that manang belen had instructed. He took a broom and then a dustpan before starting to clean there which he started in the study room.

As she was cleaning she saw a large picture of her boss on the right side of the study room with fresh flowers placed there on the table- a fragrant rose picked earlier on the chin.

In that photo, he sees the happy face of the couple don and donya while the face of their only son is also frowning. If the couple comes home once a month, the señorito, their son, is ten years old since he came home. So that's how the mansion is cleaned because the señorito is coming tonight. There is also another mansion of their boss in manila so maybe they don't always go home. This mansion is just a vacation for them.

When Ivory finished sweeping upstairs, she decided to go down to the mansion to find another job. They are fifteen housemates here in the mansion, including manang belen and her mother.

When he got down he saw his mother fixing the curtains there near the dining room table. So he immediately approached it.

"Mom! I'm here, just rest so I can do this" He said politely.

"Don't be Ivory! Just help me here so we can finish this quickly" His mother replied. He quickly grabbed the white fabric of the curtain and helped it with what it was doing.

"How is your schooling son? Maybe your teachers will call me again because of your good performance in your school" He said with a laugh mixed with pride.

"It's still the same, I haven't dropped a subject in the line of ninety, I still have all my grades"

"You're really young, where did you inherit! Me and your father aren't smart"

"Maybe I'll answer you there, I know what that answer is" He also said laughing.

Where can he inherit but only from his parents. Did they raise him properly. He then missed his father who was in the other town. They stay in the mansion so they only visit it during the day off or they don't have a job in the mansion.

"Don't worry, I already know the answer to that" He also replied which made him laugh. They just kept talking until they realized that they had finished fixing the curtain near the dining room. That's also one of the secrets of their work here in the mansion so that they don't notice the passage of time and so that they don't get tired easily, they just go through the motions and laugh.

Until seven o'clock in the evening, manang belen announced that the señorito was coming, because he had already come home from the market.

As they waited for the señorito to arrive, all the helpers lined up at the door. This is how they really are, when the bosses come home especially the don and donya wait for them at the door while greeting their entry as a sign of respect.

The mayodorma is at the front of the line and her mother is opposite. Seven are in his mother's line and eight are in manang belen's line, including ivory.

A few minutes later they heard the sound of a car outside and after that they also heard footsteps entering the mansion so they prepared themselves to greet.

Out there at the door came a handsome man with a large physique who was obviously a pet exercise. He also wore an obviously expensive blue polo and black pants. It was alone and the only thing it carried was a small bag hanging behind it.

"Good evening Señorito!" They greeted him at the same time while the man bowed and nodded. There is no doubt that it is strict, because in its former class it is as if it is saying 'Don't Make Me Angry'.

"Maybe you want to eat first señorito? We have prepared delicious food for you" Manang Belen said smiling and politely.

"No, I'm fine" was the sparing answer

"All right señorito" Manang replied

"I want to rest now, I'll go to my room maybe I'll eat later just leave me some food" He just said then walked to the stairs to go to his room.

"Let's go back to work because the señorito will still be resting" Manang Belen nodded to them and to his fellow housemates as well.

When his co -workers left, ciara, who is also one of the housemates, immediately tapped him. He is also his age and like him he has been working here for a long time. Maybe it's been seven years since he served here.

"Oi Ivory! Señorito is really handsome, if he just smiles it's even more handsome" he said nervously and he laughed.

Of course, it would be even more handsome if he just smiled in case it was vague in his opinion because his ugliness was obvious on his face and his forehead was always frowning.

"You're right there ciara, but isn't he rude? Do you notice that too?" He asked here. They are also starting to walk to the kitchen to help with the chores there.

"Yes, I noticed that! But it's still our first impression, maybe I'm not sure, wasn't he like that before? Didn't you catch up with him when the señorito lived here?"

Yes, ciara is right, she already knew señorito but that was a long time ago, more than ten years ago. It wasn't rude then, it was fun and even funny. They even became friends and in fact he even admitted that he liked her even though he was only ten years old and it was only twelve in those days. That's why he told her that he only considered her a friend, which made her so angry that he even told her that 'I'm not your friend!' and when it opened, he never saw it again because it had already gone to manila. That was also the last time he saw it.

"He wasn't like that back then, he was even funny and friendly ..." He answered ciara's question.

"Is it like that ivory, nothing doesn't change that's how life really is hehe .." He also realized that they said 'Nothing stays the same!'

The night was also deep and the work in the mansion was well done. Ivory is here now in the maids quarter where they sleep. There were five people in their room with her mother, ciara and two other colleagues. The room is spacious, especially since it is also spacious, they have their own cr and they also have a double deck, so they are also comfortable in their bed.

Ivory's roommate was sleeping soundly but he still couldn't sleep for some reason I don't know. He hadn't drunk coffee before and he didn't have a problem to think of a solution to until the morning came. Even if he really forced his eyes to sleep, he still couldn't do it so he decided to go to the kitchen and drink some water.

As he walked into the kitchen he noticed that the mansion was quiet. Because at these times everyone is sound asleep. All he could hear was his slippers stepping on the cold floor. When he got to the kitchen he took a glass and he immediately opened the refrigerator there. It had a lot of meat with chocolates, various kinds of vegetables below and many more but he didn't pay attention to it anymore. He just took a jug there and he put cold water in the glass he was carrying.

"I want water too" said a familiar voice behind him. So he turned it around and was shocked to see the señorito standing behind him.

"I-to po pitsel señ-orito" He stammered in response as the pitcher reached for him but he just looked at it.

"Are you stupid? Need an instruction? Get me a glass, pour a water into it and give it to me" Strictly after saying this he was nervous. So in a panic he took another glass, filled it with water and gave it to the male boss.

"I'm sorry señorito ..." The nervousness was obvious in his voice. He was wrong to think earlier that it was just strict because what was right was very strict.

Doesn't he know me anymore? that's what Ivory thought now.

"I won't tolerate your stupidity next time miss?"

"Cardasian señorito, I'm really sorry" He answered the question.

"Cardasian? Ivory?" Its question as if unbelievable.

"Umm .. yes, you're right señorito" He replied while nodding. There was a little joy that ivory felt in his chest when he probably still knew the name of his old friend "I used to be your playmate and friend señorito when we were kids. Don't you remember?" He asked her but she just looked at him in disgust as if she didn't like what he said.

"Friend? I don't consider you a friend!" With a mixture of anger when he said this to him then explosively placed the glass that was almost shattered on the table near where he was standing before it left his habit.

When it left, he was still stunned. The last thing he said before he left, his brain kept replaying.

"Friend? I don't consider you a friend!"

"Friend? I don't consider you a friend!"

"Friend? I don't consider you a friend!"

Ivory only felt one thing now. She was hurt because the friend relationship they had formed before was just not for the man.

He is really hurt ..
