Surprised Gift

Samput, An Indian young man who worked for my hubby's friend. He 1st came abt 18month ago. Since he is abt my nephew's age, automatically I have special feeling toward him. It's not easy to leave the family, spend so much money travelling all the way to work in s'pore, worst being alone. The 1st day when he started, My hubby & myself went to the supermarket to buy food for him, i still remember i bought him veggie and chicken as well as a pkt of rice. He was grateful and guess the gesture really touches him. I even bought him a shirt, cos i realised he don't have many clothing with him, so i tot juz get him a shirt for his b'day. So all these while, he "respected" me i tink and no doubt he is a very good young man, juz wanna earn and go back to india. On 24th morning, he was the 1st to call & wish me "Hapi B'day", i was surprised that after one yr he can still remember & he said "yes, becos last yr we had a BIG celebration for you at HQ".. Oh ya.. tat's right, they even recorded it into a CD. last nite the moment i reached HQ, he went to his room, handed me a nicely wrapped box, i was really surprised, I appreciated it but at the same time, i don't want him to spend $$, cos he don't earn much, abt $650/- per mth. I like the gift very much, it's a tea light holder with 3 little angels on the stand, it's sweet.
Sad to say, end of the year, he will be ask to go back becos my friend don't need him anymore, but we can't tell him..... But i guess he won't be too sad, cos he misses his family and he told me, if he can turn back the clock, he won't wanna cum to work here at all. Hopefully by that time, the bosses will give him some additional token , I will ask them to do so even if they don't, cos i have some shares in it too....
I'll tell him, it's ok, at least he is back to his home, we will visit him if there a chance and he already said if i go india, i can stay at his place.. come on lah.. he belongs to "middle class" so life not too bad there! I'm looking forward for the trip too.
