On a very sunny day and quite hot in the sun, Azam walked along a residential alley in one of the Overseas Cities. As he walked, his eyes looked to the right and left. He stopped and asked the people he met.

Azam:

"Ma'am, are you going to ask? If in this area is there an empty boarding house, ma'am?"

Inhabitant:

"Could you be there? some are empty."

Residents showed a white-storied boarding house without a boarding house sign.

Azam: "Ok ma'am, thank you very much ma'am?"

Resident: "Yes, you're welcome, Mas."

After that, Azam walked back to the white high-rise boarding house.

Azam:

"Wow, this boarding house looks good? The place is clean, has a gate, this boarding house must be safe and comfortable." Said Azam in his heart while standing in front of the gate.

While standing in front of the gate, his eyes looked inward, he was looking for the person who lived in the boarding house.

Azam:

"But why isn't there a person?", said Azam in his heart.

"Try to ask the shop?" Said Azam while walking towards the shop.

Azam:

"Ma'am, are you asking? Where is the owner of the boarding house? Because I knocked on the gate? But no one responded."

shop mom:

"Try to knock on the gate harder, Deck? Because I'm sorry, the owner of the boarding house is a little deaf.",

"Usually the owner is always at home."

Azam:

"Okay ma'am. Thank you very much ma'am?"

Warung Mother:

"You're welcome, Deck."

Then Azam returned to the boarding house, then knocked on the boarding house gate as suggested by the shop owner's mother.

"Drrr, drrr, drrr..10X"

Azam knocked on the gate several times, but the result was the same, no one responded.

Remembering that according to the owner of the shop, the owner was always at home, Azam walked around the boarding house. Until finally he saw an old woman sweeping her yard.

These grandmothers' houses are side by side, the walls and yard of the house are still attached to the boarding house that she wants to ask about. They just have their own gates.

If as imagined form an elbow. Which, if the gate of the boarding house is facing east, then the gate of the grandmother's house is in the north. Without many words, Azam immediately called his grandmother from the front gate of his house.

"Mom, Mom..5x"

Several times Azam called him, but the grandmother did not respond. The grandmother was still sweeping the yard. After that, there was a gentleman neighboring the grandmother's house called and asked Azam.

"Hey.." The father called out to Azam.

"Yes sir." Azzam replied.

"What do you need with that Grandma?" asked the father as his eyes opened to the grandmother.

"I'm looking for a boarding house and want to ask this boarding house, sir." Azam replied, pointing at the boarding house.

"Give me a second?" Asked the Father.

"Okay sir." Azzam replied.

Then the father in front of the door out of his house, then walked to the gate of the grandmother's house while carrying a bell in his hand.

"Krincing .. Krincing .." The bell rang the father.

"Thank you sir." Azzam said.

"You're welcome." Said the Father.

The grandmother, then looked towards the sound of the bell. Maybe Grandma just realized that I was standing in front of the gate of her house. The grandmother immediately walked over to Azam.

"What is it?" Asked the grandmother while standing holding a broom stick behind the gate of her house.

"I'm looking for a boarding house ma'am." Azzam replied.

"Oh, are you looking for a boarding house? Wait a minute, I'll open the door first." Say the grandmother while rushing to open the gate for Azam.

"Sit here first? I'll get the keys to his boarding room first." The grandmother told Azam to sit and wait on the chair in front of her house.

"Okay ma'am." Azzam replied.

Not long after Azam waited, the grandmother came back from her house.

"Come on, can you see the room?" Invite Grandma.

The grandmother's face looks happy and comfortable waiting in a hurry, as if she feels happy because someone wants to be in her boarding house. Azam, who had been curious to see and wanted to ask about his boarding house, also followed the grandmother from behind.

One by one the grandmother opened and showed all the empty boarding rooms to Azam. Both boarding rooms are on the ground floor and those on the upper floor.

After looking around the room, Azam and his grandmother sat on an iron chair on the top floor. The two of them sat next to each other and faced each other.

Omah:

"So which room do you want? And when do you want to occupy it?" Grandma asked.

Azam:

"I chose that room, ma'am." Azam replied, pointing with his index finger at the door to the boarding room he wanted.

"I was planning on going in and occupying it today, ma'am. But tonight."

Azam chose the front room which was in a row of rooms to the left of the top floor near the bathroom.

Omah:

"Just call me Omah, I'm the owner of this boarding house."

Azam:

"Okay, Omah, for now maybe I can handle it first? Later after I pay it off, after I've entered here?" I asked Omah while giving him the money for the boarding house.

Omah: "Yeah, it's okay."

Azam:

"Then let me say goodbye to my boarding house, Omah? I want to pack my things first? So that tonight I can go straight in and occupy this boarding house?"

Omah:

"Oh yeah, here, here's the key." Omah gave the key to the boarding house and the key to the boarding gate to Azam.

Omah is a 73 year old woman. From a physical point of view, she may look young and beautiful. At the age of 73 years, Omah's hair is shoulder-length and has turned white and her path is over. Omah's hearing is a little better, so often have to meet face to face less when dealing with Omah.
