CALL 625 : CAR WASH

Hello Son, 


(continue from Call 624)


Saturday, June 4


Dad and Mom left the hotel at about 4:30 pm.


Dad said, "We can go collect your contact lens."


Okay ... Mom was wearing her last pair ... 


She wore her lenses today because she needed to see clearly

when she was in the pool today.


Beside the optical shop is a car wash.


Dad wanted to send our car for a wash at the same time.

 


 

Dad said, "It's a free wash anyway ..."


Huh? Why?

 

Dad reminded Mom that a few months back, the contractors who were responsible for constructing the new condominium beside our condo, had managed to splash little dots of black paint on our BMW whilst they were painting their wall.

 

Dad had brought this to the attention of their person in-charged and that guy had agreed, on behalf of the developers, to reimburse Dad on all charges of removing paint and re-coating.


Your father apparently got a quotation from this car wash place.


The price agreed upon was RM800.




The developers agreed to reimburse this amount to Dad.


On top of that, the car wash guy apparently gave Dad  

45 FREE car wash services.


Nope. 

 

No typing error there.


You read right.

 

Forty-Five.

 

At first, Mom thought Dad said 4 or 5 free car washes.


Dad corrected Mom, "It's forty-five."


45.


What???


45 FREE car wash service?


Who gives 45 FREE car wash?


Even with 4 or 5 free car wash service, any customer would be thrilled already.


But 45???


That's unheard of.


May to Mom ... since she's not that familiar with car service packages.


Omg.


45.


Free ... on top of that.


Surely Daniel has something to do with that.


Dad had passed the car keys to the car wash guy.


We were walking around the shops, just to pass time.


Suddenly, Mom spotted a man wearing a familiar shirt.


You had that shirt.


Your Christmas shirt.


A similar t-shirt.


Mom burst out, "Hey, Daniel has that shirt ..."

 

Dad looked at the man and said, "Ya, his Christmas shirt."

 

Mom wanted to take her handphone and snap a photo of the man, 

but Dad said "No, don't ..."


The red green stripes.



Oh well ...


We walked in opposite direction.


That man and your parents.


Right after Mom found out about the FREE 45 car wash

she sees a shirt that reminded her of this shirt?



At the time of writing, Mom checks the receipt.

 

(a)    Date : 23/3/22


        Decode : 26 / 22


                       44


(b)    Receipt number : 37143


        Decode : 17


                       8


                      44


(c)     Amount : RM800

          

        Decode : 8


                     44


 

OMG ... 

 

Seriously ...

 

If that doesn't tell your mother that you have a hand in this, what does?


On top of that, the guy in your red green shirt walked past us 

right after we left the car wash place.

 

What more signs could Mom ask for???

 

ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!


45 FREE car wash for Dad.


This could last almost a year ... assuming we send the car for wash every week.


Wow. 

 

Thanks Son.

 


 

Dad and Mom went to a bakery to wait for the car to be washed.


Mom had a curry puff and Dad a custard tart.


It was comfortable in the small bakery, with the huge air-cons.

 

You would have heard your mother complaining that she wished 

she had taken a photo of that man who was wearing 

a similar shirt to yours.

 

For her eviDANS.


Sulk.


So anyway ...


Half an hour later, we left the bakery to check on our car.


Whilst walking back to the car wash, Mom suddenly spotted that same man again.


OMG.


What are the chances?

 

You must have whispered to that man to hang around the area

because your mother really wanted to take a photo of him in that shirt. 

 

LOL

 

This time, Mom did not need to think twice. 

 

She whipped out her handphone ... 


Dad again said, "No ... don't ...."


Mom didn't listen ...


The man was at a pet shop.


Dad said, "Okay, pretend you're taking a photo of the pets ..."


Okay. 

 

Let's pretend ...


Ahh, is that a cute dog we see there?


Right. 

 

Click.

 


 

Hehehe ...


Chuckle.


Her eviDANS.


Thanks Son. 

 

With Father's Day being round the corner, 

this 45 FREE Car Wash service is certainly a nice gift for Dad.
