Married maid's two-hour daily rendezvous
When her employers leave their condominium for work in the morning, Tara's heart beats faster. Because it is time to meet her boyfriend.
Despite her employers not giving her a day off for fear that she will mix with bad company or find a boyfriend, the maid has found an admirer.
The 23-year-old Filipina, who declines to give her full name, says she is dating one of the condominium's security guards.
"He works the night shift and we meet in the morning after my employers go to work," reveals Tara, who came to Singapore two years ago.
Every morning, her employers send their two children to pre-school before going to work. She is then left alone at home with the kids' elderly grandmother.
Tara, who has to walk the dog and go to the market in the mornings, takes the opportunity to meet her boyfriend during that time.
She believes her employers do not know about her boyfriend.
On two occasions when the grandmother was not home, Tara even invited her boyfriend to her employers' three-bedroom condominium unit.
"I was very scared that someone would come home suddenly. So I stopped inviting him. We just meet outside now. We go to the park nearby. Few people go there because it's very hot," says Tara. "I cannot let my employers know I have a boyfriend or they will send me back to the Philippines, and I need my job here."
Tara says her employers have read about the recent news of a Bangladeshi man and a Filipino maid found dead in a Geylang hotel. They warned her about having a boyfriend here.
"They said that things often go bad for people like us who fall in love here," says Tara, who started dating only six months ago.
"I don't think this will happen to me. My boyfriend is very nice to me."
Tara does not see the need to tell her employers about her boyfriend, and feels that even though she works here as a maid, she deserves to have some degree of privacy.
"Maids are human beings and we have feelings too. It is natural to fall in love," says Tara, who is married in the Philippines and has a four-year-old son with her Filipino husband.
"I still love my husband and my son. But I am all alone in Singapore and I need someone here too, because I need to stay and work here for many years to support my family back home."
