The Price of Sainthood
Just going to college

"Good morning, Miss."

Alisha who just opened her eyes was very surprised to find Lisa was already standing at the side of her bed. The girl was well-groomed in her dinner clothes, stood alert, and greeted him kindly.

"Lisa's? How can you be here?" alisha asked with an expression of disbelief.

"of course. I'm Miss' maid, so any time I'll be with Miss. Serving Miss. If you need to accompany Miss wherever Miss goes."

Alisha glanced at the wall clock. The needle even still pointed at the number four, but the maid already looked neat and fresh.

"Today's Miss college's first day. Let me help you prepare," asked Lisa without caring about Alisha who was still confused. He pulls away the blanket that covers Alisha's legs, and guides her to get out of bed.

"Lisa .. stop. I can do it myself ...!" alisha's whining is half upset. He looked at Lisa with a face. However, Lisa is strangely unaffected by Alisha's rejection. The girl kept a friendly smile.

"I know Miss is used to doing nothing alone. But now there is me. Must be used dong, hehehe."

Alisha snorted annoyed. He did not like to be forced. Especially by the housekeeper. But how else, it turns out Lisa is very stubborn. The girl was very professional and insisted on doing her job.

Alisha then rose up without words. He walked toward a door he knew was a bathroom. He used the place yesterday afternoon. The room was too big if it said a small room. Too fancy for her simple self. But how else. Alisha just enjoy.

"Eh what the hell do you want? Don't tell me you want to come inside!" Alisha is half-frightened when Lisa suddenly steps in to open the door. He looked at Lisa with a dislike expression.

"Of course, Miss. Because this morning I'm gonna bathe you." Lisa replied kindly, still with her smile.

"So too when I'm getting a pup? Did you steal it too?" cynical Alisha. But just like before, the girl in front of him was unaffected.

Alisha shakes in disbelief. He sighed violently and then stepped inside. Apparently not enough there alone Lisa made him slack in the morning blind. In the room, Alisha was greeted by a bathtub that was full of foam. Laced with rose petals plus the aroma of therapy that emanates.

"This what?" he pointed towards the bathtub.

"That's water for Miss to soak in" Lisa replied.

"Must, Miss," said Lisa.

"Who dare you force me like that?" murmur Alisha, and a light reply by Lisa.

"Maid Miss." Lisa smiled kindly, still with a calm nature even though Alisha did not look like it. "I'm just trying to do my job well, Miss. So please don't stop me. Please also cooperate."

At Lisa's request, Alisha went into the bathtub and sat down and straightened her legs. His head was left leaning against his edge. Then, his eyes slowly closed.

Warm water along with the aroma of therapy that exudes provide a sensation of comfort and calm. Moreover, Lisa's soft finger rub on her slowly moving arm cleared away the debris that half an hour ago the girl had smeared. Honestly, Alisha liked it a lot. This is the first experience.

"Lisa," call Alisha without opening her eyes.

"Yes, Miss."

"Why do you have to do this kind of ritual? I'm just going to college. Not married. Is my skin too dull to embarrass Papa?"

Lisa smiled gently before replying, "Ah no, Miss. Although without treatment, but Miss skin still looks beautiful, really. Clean and smooth. It's just, it's a little dull. Probably because of daily sun exposure. I know, Miss is the kind of girl who likes to challenge the sun" Lisa said.

"I was born a poor girl without a father, Lisa. I've got to help mommy if I want to eat every day."

"I feel sorry for the life of the old lady. That is why Miss must make the best use of the present situation. Take advantage of everything that exists."

"Come away Lisa," replied Alisha weakly.

Sorry just a little 😔
