I HATE YOU!!! You and John. ARRRGHHHHHHHH amazing piece!!!!!! Kya baat hai kyaa baat hai. I have a story I wanna share- 100% emotion driven. Hopefully you people will read this tiny bit here: We used to call her fuchchi- so much so that every other relative who got a maid servant started calling theirs fuchchi- a name that I had given originally (to someone much older than myself). She came from Terai and she practically raised me up. She was like a mother to me. My parents treated her really well and she did everything in the house. She used to yell at my parents if things went the wrong way or they disturbed her- that was her loyalty to us. She was more than family. So after she grew up she was to be married away and sadly we were unable to help her much. Her driver husband left her soon and also mistreated herbadly. Next, we brought her younger sister to our home as my mum had physical problems she couldnt handle the house on her own. I was grown up by then but not that grown up so as to realize that it is morally wrong to have under aged children working. Soon, few years later, the other fuchchi- she left us too. That was almost 7-8 years ago. And today the original fuchchi- my second mom (albeit always a servant in the eyes of neighbours and family members), is still in that small hut in Terai toiling away to live another day. I saw her kids (she's a single mother) well before I came here and havent heard of her since. I tried to remember her everyday but had been forgetting about her for a while now. I'm about to graduate and get a good job and have been unable to do anything for my forgotten mother. All my life I've seen servants being mistreated and it pisses me off. I feel ashamed at myself for being a part of such "culture?" i guess? As you can see my writing's all over the place but it's midnight here now and all I wanna say is 1. I hate you for sending me to bed in tears (the story simply acted as a catalyst to stir my emotions),and 2. Thanks for reminding me. It would have been the greatest sin I've ever committed had I forgotten her. When I go back to Nepal, she's the first person I'm meeting and providing all I can to once I head down to Terai. You've given hope to a mother and her children in dire need. god bless you and keep writing!!!!! I WANT THE SECOND PART SOON!!!!
