Si jawa ni dok mintak duit and bagi tahu my mum in law that that she needed some money untuk hantar ke abang dia yang ada kat Johor Bahru..All these while .she had never told us abt her having a brother in Johor..tup tup...ada abang...ok fine....but we were quite doubtful...normally, she'll send her money to a younger brother who is at her village kat Indon....bile masa pulak ada abang kt Johor..come to think of it, duit dia lantak dia lah BUT we are scared that she had other motives and had any connections with other people who r making use of her....and dia pulak dok jaga mak mertua yang tinggal seorang diri kat rumah...we dok fikir gak yang buruk2....so much about it in papers..we don't want to take chances...
So, pagi ni, my sis in law called me to go to kijal urgently and thought of discussing about the matter and confronted her straight away...my sis-in-law had seized her phones....hello, maid ni ada 2 h.fon (just got to know abt it 2day)....when i reached kijal, kakak ipar k.zu dah pun baca semua messages yang ada dalam fon2 dia tu...i pun baca jugak...pergghhhhh....ya ampunnnn....sungguh memalukan...menjijikkan.....aduiiiii....memang lah mak mertua ku telah ditipu bulat2 oleh minah indon ni....si indon ni dah kawin & having 2 kids)....
Apa lagi....mengamok lah kami berdua...interrogating her...but she was so irritating...menjawab lagi....dgn muka yang selamba, langsung tidak ada wajah penyesalan, setitis air mata pun x jatuh, x de rasa malu...and dat make us damn mad....memang tak mengaku sampai sudah...apa yang dia cakap semua berbelit-belit..berdolak dalih , & her words kept on changing within minutes.....
So, tak payah nak cerita panjang2...coz her contradictions and her egoism had put her into trouble...we decided to send her back immediately as she had never asked for any forgiveness for what she had done....mula-mula kami bagi dia pilihan and syarat....but we don't have much choice...in a way, she didn't want to go back home but we just don't want to take the risks...
To get a maid nowadays, bukannya murah...we've got to spend at least 7 - 8 K to get one....then her monthly pay rm500...when we think it over, the cost is so hign & we just never know what type of maid yang kita akan dapat. if dapat hak elok dan baik, mujurlah tp if dapat yang vice-versa, hampeh....But somebody needs to be with my mum-in-law...she is old and not really healthy...and anything can happen at any time of the day or nite...we just can't let her be all alone.....
For time being, my bro in law's wife would come on & off to visit her during daytime as she's staying nearby in Kijal and she'll take her home during nite time...we'll try to look for locals( if any )to stay with my mum-in-law...offered her to take my maid pun dia x nak...offered her to stay with us pun declined by her coz she wanted so badly to stay at her own home..nak jaga ayam, kucing yang berbelas-belas ekor...and her plants around the house....and she is one of the busiest grandmother on earth....
Alhamdulillah, my present maid is like an angel...so far, no complaints coz this year is her 9th year with us...kami ambik dia in 2002 and before that i had 3 others....and the 1st who worked for me for 4 years is now back in Kemaman as she married to an indonesian who has a PR....My maid, umi, is like a mother to all my sons and cared for them so much...of coz, the 100% trust is not there..but i could still trust her 99.9% trust coz its proven...she was the one who looked after my mum and dad who were both bed ridden..my dad passed away in 2004 and my mum passed away in 2009....she had treated them both like her own parents and my parents had never complained about any bad treatments from her...i saluted her for that kindness in her heart...now that both my parents r gone, she had more time with the cooking and doing daily chores...she is a good cook...she'll cook anything for my children...she shared her problems with me and sometimes we cried over things together....well, maybe she won;t be staying for long now as she could be going back for good in July next year coz her husband is getting old and need her around as her daughter is now married and the son is studying hafazan in one of the pondoks in Surabaya...She is from pergunungan Malang and she comes from a good background as her husband is like an imam to one madrasah near her house...
I am considered so lucky having her around....but definitely she won't be with us forever, when the time comes, she just have to go and i think that will be one of the saddest day in our life........these good maids are hard to find....before that bitch (my mum-in-law's maid), my mum-in-law had one very good maid....SANI...till today we missed her a lot..but she stayed for exactly 2 years as her husband wanted her to go back....well, that's life....
