Maid in Kepong story (swt)
A late night out
It had been a good evening, a successful and lively Christian concert followed by a late night tea drinking session with some of the gang. God had come through for us (as usual, Praise Jesus) and a harvest had been reaped (all glory to Jesus).
The clock struck about ... hmmm ... 11 plus?
A few from the organising team had celebrated the completion of the event by having Hawaiian bread and other tea drinking shop ... um drinks (haha). Soon it was time to go. One half of the gang followed Eugene, the other half, Kent (please take note that some of these characters are from the Cake Massacre story a few months back).
The principal characters in Kent's car, a 1995 silver Mousedeer, were Cassandra, Geoff and Eron. Along the amost empty highway did the mousedeer run and eventually approached the gates of Cassandra manor. She alighted and said her goodbyes and then proceeded to the great iron door that stood in her way. She paused ...
From within the Mousedeer, the three gentlemen waited patiently, heavy with drowsiness and eager to get home to their soft, comfortable beds.
Cassandra stood at the door staring and eventually returned to her friends.
'Um, I can see the keys on the floor just in reach, but the wooden door is locked'. (swt 1)
'Huh? How come you do not have a set of keys?' Kent asked. His hands gripped the steering wheel. Eron let out a laugh.
'Why don't you wake somebody in the house up?' Geoff asked after while.
'Ok, I will try that.' Casssandra answered. She flipped open her hand phone and began to dial.
No one answered (swt 2).
Again ... no one asnwered.
'Ring the doorbell then,' Kent suggested. He was really tired after the day's events and had to wake up with the sun the next morning to send his Mousedeer for servicing.
'But I may wake everybody up,' Cassandra said 'Maybe I can go behind my house and wake my maid in the back room,'
'Good idea,' Kent replied 'Eron, why don't you follow her,'
'Sure,' Eron stated and together they disappeared behind the huge communal garden and behind the houses.
During the ensuing minutes, Kent and Geoff began to talk about other matters such as church and work. They waited for a good 15 minutes or so ...
The return
Cassandra and Eron eventually reemerged from the shadows and approached Kent and Geoff. No maid appeared at the door.
Eron had a hand upon his forehead and Cassandra looked a little stunned.
'Well?' Kent asked.
'You know ...' Cassandra started 'we were calling my maid ... and then a most peculiar thing happened'
The rest waited in silence.
'Some stranger came to her window and asked "Who are you"?'
Eron started laughing 'It was the WRONG house,'
(swt)
Cassandra had identified the wrong house and awoken her neighbour's maid instead. Oh the irony, oh the tragedy, of the comedy ...
After a few minutes they went back to try the RIGHT house this time. Kent and Geoff were laughing in their absence for a good 15 minutes, almost non stop.
Finally, Cassandra called her parents and thankfully her mother woke up and opened the door.
Whattanevening.
