My maid caused a big stir and commotion last night when her Nepalese boyfriend tried to talk to her from outside the gate. I was about to take my shower when I heard a commotion outside our house. I peeped at the window and saw a group of about 4 guards apprehending a man. I thought the man was acting suspiciously outside my house, thus the reason why the guards apprehended him. The guards were apparently very furious and kept shouting “bl**dy hell, you stay away from here, don’t let me see you again!” Minutes later, the guard saw me peeping from the window upstairs and said this “you be careful, this Nepalese man was talking to your maid. He wanted to climb into your house. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when your maid runs away. We will be making a police report.”
I was really flabbergasted. How on earth did my maid befriend a Nepalese man when we don’t allow her to go out? I called my maid and questioned her. Initially, she denied knowing the guy and said the guy wanted to talk to her. When I asked why the guy wanted to climb into our house, she denied that. She kept saying “Madam percaya saya tak, guard tu bohong. Lelaki tu tak panjat pagar”. I just told her that whatever it is, just don’t cause any trouble to us coz having a stranger climbing into our house compound is a serious matter and I definitely do not want to get startled when I see a stranger in my house.
Anyway, I quickly called hubby to inform him and I also told my hubby not to be too harsh on our maid coz we don’t want her to be full of vengeance and hatred towards us. When he came back, he queried my maid again. After using some reverse psychology and some humor, my maid finally admitted that the Nepalese man is her boyfriend whom she had befriended when she went out to dry the laundry and water the plants. They see each other everyday. They have also been exchanging love letters. We told our maid that we will not stop her from seeing her boyfriend but she can never bring the guy into our house and she cannot go out with him. After all, she only has a remaining of 1.5 months to work for us and she can do whatever she wants thereafter. Long story cut short, we managed to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and she confessed many things to us. We also told her that we had found out that she’s been passing letters to another guard, to which she was really shocked to know that we had discovered her dalliance with the guard.
What I don’t understand about these Indon maids is how can they be in love so easily with so many men whom they barely know at the same time. There was a similar case with my 2 previous maids when we found out that they had dalliance with several men at the same time! Maybe they were all stricly platonic relationships and they were just trying to find something fun to do to kill loneliness and stress? I don’t know, I just hope I get to analyse their behavior better, understand them better and know how to tackle them better so that all these problems will not recur with my future maids.
