HELPERS ON LEAVE
My most trusted and most efficient Gardener needed to go home to Surigao del Sur. He is also my highest paid helper because aside from doing the gardening he is also a handyman and a good trouble shooter.
He needed to go home because his brother who recommended him to me got in trouble after he accidentally hit with a handgun someone during a drinking spree. While our maid who was just beginning to learn the household routine chores also needed to go home as required by her husband to attend to her family especially her three year old son.
I was left with my other helper who now has to do the gardening and the household chores. He was not complaining and was very efficient too except that his brother texted him to come home as their father was seriously ill. His leave was indefinite.
Now I am left alone to do everything. I am not complaining as I used to do these things before, although now my body parts are the ones complaining. I get tired more easily but that is not my problem….
Inside the house I am fully secured by iron grills and padlocks but I feel a little uneasy without someone staying at the premises. To solve my uneasiness I invited one of our farmers to sleep at the servant’s quarter every night for my peace of mind. Too good that the farmer I invited brought his brother with him
