Just A Thought

I got news from a friend's maid who is a close friend to my maid that she's not coming back to work with me after 6 years, and not telling me which is the saddest part. So today not a good day, this feeling of betrayal is overcoming all my calm senses. I didn't know it was gonna hurt me this much. She came with zero knowledge, no idea what a microwave was, didn't know that gargle is for mouth not for washing machine and the elevator is to take u up and down.

I was not being very nice to her, the agent charged me so much money, yet sent me a maid who had eye and ear problem. I took her to a spectacle shop and they told me her vision was imbalanced and needed more than a pair of glasses to perfect it. We made her new glasses anyway. And I noticed she had hearing problem, couldn't hear properly. She finally told one of her friends one of her ears is not working. So there u go, our decision is to accept her weaknesses and she had to tolerate our needs that mostly she had no idea what.

Years passed and we finally come to this time when we understand each other. I reminded her countless time, if she wanted to leave my family and go somewhere else or if she wanted to get married again, let me know. I would let her.

But deciding to not come back is such a betrayal. I don't know why she decides what she decides but I hope there's a tiny bit of regret doing what she does. In not so many words, my family loves her. And with that we say goodbye.
