So how long have you been caretaker of this room, sir?

Ten years.

-Who would become your successor as caretaker? -Whomever the proprietor of the room has entrusted.

This room is not to be entered without permission.

It has to be with the consent of the caretaker who has been entrusted by the proprietor of the room

to hold the key for safekeeping, to attend and guard the room with care.

-What if someone recklessly enters, sir? -The proprietor will be displeased.

And there's no predicting what will arise.

-You mean... a sort of calamity could strike? -Yes, it could.

Let's go.

Thank you very much for your time, sir.

We have gathered enough information for our news coverage.

Excuse us, sir.

Aira.... Aira?

Aira.

Aira?

-Naya! -Aira! You always sneak around.

You're making it difficult for me to find you.

I'm sorry for running behind. The interview ran late.

Let's go.

Aira.

You're not eating?

-You go ahead. -But you'll get sick.

Hello?

-Hey, Nay. How was the interview? -It's getting harder for bachelor graduates to find work.

Yeah, I know.... By the way, do you still remember Sena?

He's Jefri's best friend. He used to come to campus.

The really cute one.

Yeah, I do.... Why?

Did you know that he's now the general manager of a hotel?

Isn't that crazy? Still young, a hotel GM, handsome, single....

If I weren't married, I would have chased him.

Anyway, he said there's a job opening at his hotel.

If I remember correctly, it's for a housekeeping manager or supervisor position.

So how about it? Are you interested?

HOTEL RESERVATION SOUTH SEA COAST

It's quite a distance from Jakarta, but this is a good opportunity for you.

I've talked to Sena. He's willing to hire you.

He also has no problem if you want to bring Aira with you.

Aira's already on school vacation next week, right?

Sena used to have a crush on you, you know. -.... Crush?

Why would he come to campus every single day if not to see you?

Only thing is... he didn't have the guts to pursue you. An unrequited love, if you will.

But I am a Bachelor of Business Management graduate.

I don't understand hotels, not to mention becoming housekeeping supervisor.

It's too high of a position for a recent graduate like me.

True, but the current housekeeping supervisor resigned all of a sudden.

And Sena really needs someone right now.

Sena believes that because you're a management graduate,

you'll be able to learn the ropes quickly.

You can do it. Just relax. Add to that the salary's great, too, right?

Sena gave you an opportunity, you also happen to be looking for work.

Why not, right? Who knows, you might love it there.

A golden opportunity like this is quite rare.

-What are those people doing? -Huh?

Oh....

No idea.

-I'll go look for Sena. -Alright.

So what do you think of the hotel, Nay? It's enormous, isn't it?

Next to the beach, too. Right, Aira?

There's Sena.

Where? -Over there.

Hi, Caca. Welcome.

-Hello, Naya. -Hi.

You look even more beautiful than when we last met on campus.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you. It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to join the team.

I'm simply helping out.

-And who is this? -Aira, my sister.

-I'm sorry, she just woke up. -It's quite alright.

Come on, I'll give you a tour of the hotel.

You're so lucky, Nay. You get to work at a vacation destination.

Sir, is the hotel undergoing repair?

Ah, no, but the villages around here are currently going through a malaria and dengue fever epidemic.

We have to fog.

We're closing the hotel these four days.

I'm really sorry I forgot to tell you.

The hotel will be closed starting this afternoon.

Hence the cleaning before everybody leaves.

Isn't this high season? Aren't guest numbers supposed to be on the rise?

Isn't it bad timing, sir?

But if we don't take immediate action, we will put all the guests at risk.

If the hotel is temporarily closed and all the employees are sent home,

why am I being hired now, sir?

.... Nay, everybody is away,

so perhaps they need someone to maintain the hotel.

Don't ask weird questions. It's rude.

Relax. You'll earn extra bonus while you work.

-Let me show you to your room. -Alright.

We actually have an employee mess hall, but it is a kilometer away from here.

Because the fogging tomorrow will be toxic, it is better if we all stay on the fifth floor.

It's only for four days anyway. There are no guests either.

This is the emergency stairwell. The rooms are all on that side.

Good afternoon, Mr. Sena.

You don't have to worry while you're here.

Not all the employees will be gone, so there's no need to be afraid.

Good afternoon, Mr. Sena.

Here it is. You can use this room temporarily.

Please.

There's one rule you have to follow while working at this hotel.

Never enter room 308.

-Why? -You've never heard about the room?

It's better if you just adhere to it. It's the rule at this hotel.

-Where are your belongings? -Still downstairs, sir.

Where's Aira?

-Aira? -Just a second.

Aira?

Ca, come on.

Look into every corner for a six or seven-years old child.

-Alright? A girl. It's very important. -Aira?

-I don't want anything to happen to the girl. -Aira?

-Understand? -Yes, sir.

-Search immediately. -Yes, sir.

Sir.

Aira, what are you doing here? Everybody is looking for you. Let's go.

Uncle, who's in the room just now?

Nobody. It's vacant.

Don't go near the room again, okay.

-Naya! -Aira!

Aira, where have you been?

-Wandering by herself. Getting lost, right? -Yup.

I told you not to sneak away like that.

Don't do it again, okay.

This is for you.

Even though there aren't any guests, wear the uniform, okay.

Just so your dress doesn't get dirty or anything.

There are plenty of uniforms here.

Your name tag is also being processed.

What's wrong?

Nothing, sir. It's just eerie in a hotel as deserted as this.

To make you feel less deserted, I'll introduce you to the others.

Aira, do you want to come with?

-Can I? -Of course.

-Let's go. -Come on.

-Prila. -Yes?

Take a look. This is one of the details of my beauty.

Isn't it so cool? It has to be perfect.

And this has to be even more detailed and beautiful than any of the things I take care of here.

I also want to switch up the colors. What would be pretty?

Red, green and yellow like a traffic light or all the colors of the rainbow?

Oops... gotcha. Hi.

This is Naya, our new housekeeping supervisor. She will be with us while our hotel is closed.

-Prila. -Naya.

Food and beverage manager.

Where's Erin?

-Were you looking for me, Mr. Sena? -Yes.

Naya, this is Erin, executive housekeeper.

She will explain all your responsibilities.

This is Naya, our new housekeeping supervisor.

-Hi, I'm Erin. -Naya.

If you have any questions, you can just ask me.

If you want to find the linen room, laundry room as well as the kitchen, you can go down here.

The first level basement.

Here's the kitchen.

After you.

Wow, the kitchen is huge.

Yes, and we don't have to worry about our food.

Our chef will cook our food for us every day.

-Chef Dudi. -.... Ah, perfect timing, Mr. Sena!

Take a look at my creation. So exquisite, isn't it?

As always. It's never been otherwise.

This is Naya. She will be with us while the hotel is closed.

-Oh, hello. -Naya.

Do you know the inspiration behind this dish?

"La Festival Gastronomico del Gato" in Peru.

The gastronomical festival of cat meat.

I aim to prove that even though, well... this is not a common meat,

it is still edible.

It is incredibly tender, remarkably delicate.

It is cooked alive, but by employing a secret trick.

An exquisite dish is born out of the creativity of the human mind.

What?

Oh! This....

Well, indeed, I always record my newest creations.

The important moments of my life. In particular, moments of reaching towards my success.

What is this smell?

Harlan.

That's Harlan, chief security.

He likes to do things that defy logic, but he's a good employee, so... just let him be.

-Right, Mr. Sena? -Indeed.

To become the number one chef in the world,

might be difficult for some.

But for me, becoming the number one chef in the world is a piece of cake.
