Nice guy from the Himalayas

Carna works at my flat. He's a pretty nice guy and I usually talk to him when I can. He's lately been very much looking forward to returning home to see his wife and kids in Nepal for the first time in two years. He said the guy who brought him here made him sign a contract to work at least two years before he would be allowed to go home. He's not permitted to work anywhere else and his passport has been taken so he doesn't disappear before his obligation ends. He said is supposed to be on a plane tomorrow, but he has not heard from the man who's holding his passport and supposed to buy his plane ticket. Apparently there's no work in Nepal and he says he's happy with his job at my building working 7 days a week. Waiting to see if he's lucky enough to be gone in the a.m.

UPDATE: Carna made it.
