A 39-year-old maid in Singapore was surprised with a birthday celebration after they found out that she had never celebrated her birthday before her whole life.
A video of the heartwarming birthday surprise was then shared on Instagram on 6 February.
The Indonesian maid, Ruenah, started working for her employer Anna Leyman, from May last year, and she shared that because the maid’s family was poor, their birthdays were treated like any other days back home.
Anna then pretended that there was nothing special on Ruenah’s birthday, and made the maid think that they had forgotten about her birthday.
She even sent her husband and daughters out of the house to make it more convincing, but they were actually tasked to get a birthday cake for Ruenah.
The maid was then caught off guard as Anna’s two daughters later walked into the house with a chocolate cake, as the family sang Happy Birthday to Ruenah.
The maid then fell onto the floor and started crying, as she was too touched by the family’s gesture.
The elder daughter then jokingly asked Ruenah why was she crying, and asked her if she was a baby; to which the maid then wiped away her tears and hugged her.
Anna then captioned her Instagram post:
“Happy Birthday Bibik
Every human deserve to be loved regardless who they are. Whether they are your employee or your family.
Just be kind to everything xx”
