Given that many families in Malaysia hire maids/helpers to take care of children, old folks or just be a housekeeper, it is not suprising that many housewife's topic of conversations revolves around maids, and many people even youngsters know about what a maid's role is in the house. A question I have for people who employ maids in their house....What would you do if you found out your maid had a boyfriend? Most of the answers I got from friends would be..."If I found out, I would have sent her back straightaway!"
There you go.... but this story gets worse..it's about a pregnant maid...in my household! How did it start you may ask? Did we know.....??? YES! Of course my parents did.....The story goes like that...
One fine evening while I was still in Hawaii, probably in March or April, my mom called me sounding distressed...saying that she had found out that the maid had a boyfriend. Of course, my grandmother and every other family member we knew advised my parents to send her home..... but my parents being reasonable... said that she has rights too.. "to fall in love"...which I agree with. Fine.... she then brought her boyfriend home to "meet my parents"...(he worked in the shops opposite my house), and they told me...I guess we will keep her and let her date at night after finishing her work. I know...they are very very lenient............. but things got worse...of course she abused my parents agreement by sneaking out late at night to meet her boyfriend and even during the day...the worst part was she NEVER locked the doors when she went out! Can you believe that??!?? My parents(which till now I do not understand why) were still kind to her, even after what she basically put them through.......I Know..they are either TOO COOL or super nice?
The story continues......
When I came back from the USA with my parents(they were there for 3 weeks), my mom started to realize she was growing bigger in size after a month or so being back here. She just thought that our maid was putting on weight because she ate alot. One fine day....I was bouncing down the stair case when I caught my maid from the side angle....her stomach was huge!!! She was soooo good at hiding......! I kept it to myself and I finally told my parents over dinner.... "I can safely confirmed to you that our maid is pregnant!" My parents looked at me with incredulous eyes....They then called her to the dining table asking her whether it was true...she kept quiet at first and finally admitted...after much questioning...
This is the best part of the story....
After our maid admitted she was 3 MONTHS pregnant( we were clearly blind!), my mom asked her "Is he going to marry you, is he serious?", like she was their daughter..... although my mom was really mad then..... my father gave the best statement of all....and he was soooo calmed about the whole situation....he turned around and ask all of us...
"What should we get the baby for the baby shower?"
Can you believe that??????????????!!!?????? I just couldn't help but burst out laughing...... Man.... this story is to tell you.... there are definitely nice people out there...but sometimes... there is a word called TOO NICE!!!! Anyways..this is just a funny story that I really wanted to write about!!!hahaha...Hope you laughed as hard as I did!!!
