I had an urge I wanted to sate.

I searched for Christa, our Filipina maid from Malaysia, on social media. Her Facebook account wasn’t overly robust but it was enough for me to recognize her. I shot her a private message.

Me: Hi Christa, it’s John. I don’t know if you remember me, but you used to work for my family as a housekeeper?

Her: Oh hi John. How are u.

Me: I’m doing well thanks, just finishing my education and working in the US. Are you still in Malaysia?

Her: Yes I am.

Me: Christa, I’m going to be going to your city next week and I wondered if you wanted to meet me? We could catch up?

Her: Oh of course, that would be lovely. You can stay at my house for a few nights!

This made me pause, but I responded:

Me: Sure I’d love to, if that’s no trouble for you?

Her: Oh of course not, you are always welcome.

After providing me with her address, we made the appropriate arrangements. I couldn’t believe it. I was going to see her!
