Ok, I don't think I've ever mention this on my blog. As some of you know, my maid of 11 years ran away in August this year. It has been 4 months since she disappeared and all of us are going just great with or without her. I never thought she would just walk away after working with my family for 11 years. I mean seriously, I treat her like my own family and she did this. She used to tell us that running away was an idiotic thing to do. Well, my advice is, if your maid ever said this a couple of times, SHES RUNNING AWAY!
My mum always reminded her that, if she wants to stop working with us, she is welcomed to tell us anytime. We always told her to never ever lie. We don't want to force her to stay as she has her own family back home and its her rights to decide whether to stay or head back home. But no. She made up her mind which I find it so unbelievable. Wanna know how she ran away? Keep on reading.
Monday. It was 3.30p.m and I just got home from school feeling so exhausted because I had all science subjects on one days and also add maths. It was only my maid and I at home. Ellise is still in school with extra curricular activities. I had my lunch in front of the television like I always do after school. It was just like every other day. Nothing suspicious or anything odd.
Then, she wanted to throw some rubbish and told me as usual. Nothing extraordinary about that. I did not pay much attention because the TV is more interesting than knowing that my maid is gonna throw rubbish. haha. If my memory servers me right, I was watching Ellen Degeneres Talk Show. I love to watch that programme because of the way she talks, what she does and she would invited one or two people from the audience to do some silly stuffs. Those silly stuffs would make me laugh all the time. Imagine that 2 people are stuck together with a string rubber rope thingy. They will have to face opposite each other. Their task is to get as much apples as they can with their mouth. Its not as easy as it looks. Both of them would be struggling to get the apples as they are stuck with an elastic rope. LOL. The first person to get the most apples, wins something. The prizes are like concert tickets, err...?
Then..... the tv was interrupted. A small yellow cube would appear on the top right of the tv. Don't you just hate it when this happens??? It was raining. Dang Astro.
Anyway, I wasn't that bothered coz the show was over and I took my bath. But, before I did that, I was wondering where in the world is my maid. What took her so long to throw rubbish?? LOL. Again, I thought she was chatting with her friends nearby. So, I resume what I was doing. When I finished, the rain was too heavy and theres no way to chit chat even though you have all the shade in the world coz its just too noisy to talk. So, I called her out loud, thinking that she might be downstairs. I called her over and over and over again. Eventually, I stopped and made a phone call.
*tuut. tuut.*
"hello?"
"hello mummy. guess what?"
"what's up?"
"I think kak ran away."
"Har? why you say that??"
"Coz I called her so many times and she did not answer me like she always do"
"Aiya.... maybe shes talking to her friends la"
"NO lah!!! How can she be talking to her friends.....?? Its raining so heavily right now!"
"Really ar??"
"yea la.... *laughs*"
"Just wait for awhile more..."
" I waited for one hour alreadyyyy..."
"Where did she go??"
"She said that she was throwing rubbish"
"Eik... that's weird"
"I know... what to do now??"
"I'll be back soon. We'll talk about this later."
Ok.. That was the conversation with my mum. At that moment, I was just fooling around with her. I thought it would be fun to joke with my mum once in a while. haha. So, I continue watching tv and slept on the sofa.
about almost 5, ellise got home from school. I woke up from slumber land. A few minutes later, she told me that,
"EI, kakak's clothes are all gone!"
"har!!?!?!"
Holy crap. This can't be for real. I called my mum again.
"Mummy!!!"
"Yea...??"
" Kakak really ran away lahhhhh!!! Her clothes are all gone and don't tell me she throw rubbish for 2 hours and talk to her friend so long wan..."
"WHAT??!?!? You serious ar??"
"Yeah.... omg.. I didn't know this is for real. Just now I called you because I was just fooling around with you. I didn't know it really happened"
"wait for me, I'm coming home right now"
Crap. I thought it was just a joke. IT never crossed my mind that she would run away. Well, then I recalled what happened. She was holding a plastic bag that has GIANT printed on it. It was filled with rubbish like yogurt drink, leftover food and a peanut butter jar that I just threw. I remember she was saying something else other than she wants to throw rubbish.
*thinks*
Aha! She also asked me if I want to come along. =.=" Swt. Who in the right mind would follow their maid around just to throw rubbish. Well, thats what I would think at that very moment. I remember saying no.
Well, that was it. I kept thinking and thinking about it. How could she run away?? She wouldn't dare to do this unless someone helped her. Seriously, she doesn't know how to read at all and she gets lost when you bring her to Ampang Point (which we always go there for groceries) and she gets lost very easily. As cliche as it sounds, I think she ran away with her boyfriend. lol. I don't know whether if she has a boyfriend here although she is already married and have a teenage daughter. Well, anything could happen right?
So, we asked around and everyone got a shock of their lives. Even the guards did not see her. How ca this be happening?
