Chapter 7 7

Sunny

"Grandma, I heard you are sick?" I yelled from the outside of her room. "I brought you water. Can you come out for a second or open your door for me to enter?" I tried to ask her.

After a few seconds, my grandma opens the door while coughing.

"Here, drink this first," I said as I handed her the glass of water I brought for her. "Why are you all dressed up?" I asked, when I finally realized that she was wearing her work clothes. "You are not going to go to your work with your condition. Just tell them you cannot go there because you are not feeling well." I told her.

"I need to clean their house," Grandma answered. "I am cleaning their–" She was not able to finish her sentence when she coughed again.

"Look, you do not look like one who can go to work today. You can not work today. Where is their house?" I asked. "Can I go instead of you? I can not let you go in that state. You should just rest here." I added.

I do not have any classes today, and I can just do our assignments after that. I can not let my grandma go and clean.

She will get sick more if she goes there and cleans.

Mom would kill me too if I let her. We must be more safe than harming her.

"I can't let you clean their house. You've got tons of schoolwork to do." Grandma said, worrying about my school stuff rather than herself.

"I can just do it later, Grandma. Text them that I will go in your place instead," I replied. "Don't you trust me at all? I can clean like yours! I can make their floor shine like ours! Our family is good at cleaning!" I boasted, making my Grandma laugh.

Although, I never have the talent to clean the house like mom and her. Every parents, when they clean the house, you can not spot any dirt, and it looks like it was properly arranged. Unlike mine, whenever I try to clean my room. It's like I never organized it. Why is that?

"Okay, I will tell them that you will go in my place. Thank you very much, Sunny." Grandma said.

"Small thing, Grandma. Just make sure to treat me when you get your wage." I answered jokingly. "I will take a bath for now, so that I can go there already. The faster I am, the faster I will finish everything." I added.

I run to my room and find something comfortable to wear.

"Jogger pants and an oversized shirt will do, right?–whatever." I said to myself and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

I am just going to clean the house. Comfortable clothes are a must for me to be able to work well and avoid things that will make me work for a long time.

After doing what I needed to do, I headed to my grandma's room to ask for the address. She writes the address on a piece of paper and she also gives her phone to me.

"Take care of yourself." Grandma said. "Make sure to leave the house clean and nice. Be good to them and respect them." She added, reminding me as to what I should do there.

"Of course, Grandma." I replied. "Do not worry too much about me. I will make sure to clean their house properly and I won't leave any dirt either. I won't let you down! Trust me!" I said confidently.

I started to travel to the given address. An hour had passed and I finally reached the house where my Grandma was working.

"Is this the house? Ah no, the address?" I asked the taxi driver.

"Yes, Ma'am." The taxi driver answered.

This house is too big for me.

How can my grandma clean this big house?

This is not an ordinary house. It's so extraordinary. This house is too big for my Grandma!

They even have a big gate before I can finally enter their house.

I clicked the door bell twice. The gate opened itself for me to enter.

"WOAH! Their gate is sooo high-tech! must be a rich aff owner!" I said in amazement and went on.

I entered the house and reached the main door.

It is open as to what my grandma said. She told me that if the door is open, I should just go inside the house like what she usually does.

Grandma explained everything and where I could find things and what they were. Good thing Grandma told me, or else I wouldn't be able to find it in the first place since the HOUSE is too big.

If Grandma never gave me an ups, I wouldn't be able to clean this.

I headed to the storage room where the cleaning tools are kept. I left my bag in the storage room and went straight to the third floor. I will start cleaning from the top to the bottom.

"How can a house be this big?" I asked myself, tying my hair for me to start working. "Our house is only one floor, and it is already hard to clean, and their house is big and even has three floors. They should have asked for many housekeepers instead." I added.

After cleaning for an hour with just the third floor, with rooms on it, I decided to stop for a while and fan myself.

"I should not let my grandma work here again." I said to myself.

They must need three or more people for this house. One person can not do it alone. Why did they not ask for more people? They are rich. They can get more people for this house.

They should not have bought this in the first place if they couldn't afford it, right?

She will get really sick after cleaning this house.

"And why is that?" someone from behind asked.

I quickly turned to see the owner of a voice and saw a young man... no, a handsome young man indeed.
