Maids are SUPPOSED to be DEAF!

.
I lost my voice today.
For half an hour this morning, I've been screaming at the top of my trachea.
su!
su!!
su!!!
SU!!!!...


I accidently locked myself up in the wet kitchen!!
I was feeding the cats when suddenly the door leading to the dry kitchen closed. The knob on the other side of the door has been pushed in a locked mode.
I was frantically searching for the keys to another door exiting to the backgarden, alas, the maid took it with her while she is sweeping the front garden.

I stuck my head at grilled kitchen window and wailed.
su!
su!!
su!!!
su!!!!...


The neighbour's maid from 2 bungalows away came out and asked me what happen?
Saya terkunci disini, awak ada nampak su?
maid: Ada Bu, tu dia didepan sana, dekat gate!
mama: habis kenapa tak dengar saya menjerit?

Even the neighbours dogs answered to my screams...

stupid, silly maid!
PEKAK aper???

I sat in the kitchen and whilst there might as well plan today's menu in my Pyjama.
After 20 mins. su appeared from the backgarden.

mama: Kamu memang PEKAK ya! Saya jerit2 disini panggil kamu, kamu tak dengar!! Semua orang ingat saya sudah gila!!!
su: saya menyapu diluar gate Bu, kenapa Bu?
mama: Eeeii....saya terkunci disini lah (goblok!).
su: Bagei mana Ibu boleh jadi terkurung disini?...(smiling)...
mama:......(why can't you be MUTE as well? brengsek!!!).......

So, how do I get inside the house?.
Now that at least I could get myself out of the wet kitchen, I went to the side garden facing Ikram's room.
I knocked on Ikram's window from there and asked him to open the stupid door from inside the house. Waking him up is another hurdle. I think papa has to relook at the idea of him occupying the ground floor room. His title as the 'Chief of Safety and Security' will definitely have to be revoked. Luckily it didn't come with extra perks like the COLA (cost of living allowance), as per recommended by the MTUC.

Ikram: Wasn't it your fault that you get yourself locked up in there?
mama: yeah, it was so silly. But why is it that the maid has to be so DEAF?


To prevent the incident from happening again, I've stuck the key permanently at the keyhole of the door knob from inside the wet kitchen.
That's probably a better option than having to apply my cat's earspray on the maid!
