Hi Juan,

It's because the socket has a buffer and it's not flush everytime you write 
on it.

If you want to send multiple message, you can use client.end('a'); instead 
of client.write('a');

You don't need to write client.end(); because you socket is already 
half-closed by the client.end('a');

Regards,
Clément
