WARNING: Major RANTING about to take place
Remember my super-lost all-around help? I sent her home over a month ago because she's been giving me headaches. She begged me several times, with matching tears, that she can't go home without her sister and that she'd have to wait for her sister to bring her home. I gave her two weeks to deal with it. I presumed that she'd save up her money for her trip home.
Then when it is convenient for her, she tells me her mother is sick and she is being asked to go home. I told her that is not problem with me because she is scheduled to leave anyway. I just told her to leave on the date we agreed upon. I also gave her one condition: She can't stay at my in-law's place, where her sister is working, because she doesn't work there.
(You see, even if I am pregnant and about to give birth, I'd rather deal with house chores than with people who lack iodine in their system.)
Two weeks before I let her go, I told her that I'd hold on to half of her earnings to make sure that she will not spend it on frivolous stuff. I had to make sure that she wouldn't come running to me saying that she doesn't have money for her bus fare. Apart from that, I wanted to hold on to the money as deposit for things she may damage in the remaining period. Then, her sister comes complaining that my help isn't paid her wages. Grrr!
(For the record, she has ruined my brand new, custom-made yakal long table by putting flaming hot iron on it, stained brand new bed sheets, ruined several pieces of clothing, used items that she isn't supposed to use and left work lying around for other people to do. What I held back from her was not enough to compensate for a quarter of the damages she brought to my home.)
It is nearly two months since she left. Apparently, the money that I didn't deduct for the trouble she caused me and my property was spent on straightening her hair. Yes, she had it rebonded!?!?! I was feeling guilty that she may not have enough money to go home, so I gave her the full amount. Again, I was wrong. Up to now, I am praying that Karma would find a way to set everything straight.
I was not informed that the mistress of the house where is staying is planning to take her in. All I knew was that she was also waiting for a replacement and that the sisters will be let go as soon as the replacement comes.
So, whatever happened to her mother, I don't know. Whatever happened to the plan of letting them go, I also don't know. All I know is, my blood boils every time I see her. I am so dismayed but I don't know who to direct it to.
I know that I let her go. But, the unexpected turn of events really left a bad taste in the mouth. I know I let her go but why do I feel betrayed?
