Every Friday, a plate of cookies sat in the kitchen. The cookies were soft and sweet. Nobody knew who brought them.
Setiap hari Jumat, sepiring kue kering ada di dapur. Kue-kue itu lembut dan manis. Tidak ada yang tahu siapa yang membawanya.
Aiko asked her friends. "Not me," said one. "Not me," said another. Even the boss said no.
Aiko bertanya kepada teman-temannya. "Bukan aku," kata yang satu. "Bukan aku," kata yang lain. Bahkan bos pun bilang bukan.
Aiko wanted to know the answer. On Thursday night, she set her alarm for four o'clock.
Aiko ingin tahu jawabannya. Pada Kamis malam, ia memasang alarm untuk pukul empat.
On Friday morning, it was dark and cold. Aiko walked to the office. The street was empty.
Pada Jumat pagi, hari masih gelap dan dingin. Aiko berjalan ke kantor. Jalanan sepi.
The building was quiet. Then she heard a sound in the kitchen. The light was on.
Gedung itu sunyi. Lalu ia mendengar suara dari dapur. Lampunya menyala.
An old man in a blue shirt stood there. He was the night cleaner. He put cookies on the plate.
Seorang lelaki tua berkemeja biru berdiri di sana. Ia adalah petugas kebersihan malam. Ia sedang menaruh kue-kue di piring.
"Good morning," Aiko said.
"Selamat pagi," kata Aiko.
The man jumped. "Oh! You are very early."
Lelaki itu terkejut. "Oh! Kamu datang pagi sekali."
"Are you the cookie person?" she asked.
"Apakah Bapak orang yang membawa kue-kue itu?" tanyanya.
"Yes," he said. "I bake them at home on Thursday night. The office is quiet at night. The cookies make the morning nice."
"Ya," katanya. "Saya memanggangnya di rumah pada Kamis malam. Kantor ini sepi di malam hari. Kue-kue itu membuat pagi terasa menyenangkan."
Aiko took a cookie. It was still warm.
Aiko mengambil sebuah kue. Kue itu masih hangat.
Later, she bought a card. She wrote, "Thank you for the cookies. We all love them." She put the card by the plate. Then she went to her desk.
Kemudian, ia membeli sebuah kartu. Ia menulis, "Terima kasih untuk kue-kuenya. Kami semua menyukainya." Ia menaruh kartu itu di dekat piring. Lalu ia pergi ke mejanya.
