Private chat using node.js and socket.io

Question

Im tryng to create a private chat between a key using a node.js and socket.io, the problem is when i emit a message, that message is not displayed on the room, and i dont know what is the problem...

SERVER

 var app = require('express')();
    var express = require('express');
    var http = require('http').Server(app);
    var io = require('socket.io')(http);
    app.use(express.static('./public'));


    app.get('/', function(req, res){
      res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
    });


    io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
        console.log("step 0 OK");                  // Works
     socket.on('room', function (room) {
        console.log("step 1 OK");                  // Works
            socket.join(room); 
      });
    });

    room = "1234";
//THIS CODE NOT WORKING
    io.sockets.in(room).emit('message', 'what is going on, party people?'); 


    http.listen(3000, function(){
      console.log('listening on *:3000');
    });

CLIENT

 $(document).ready(function() {

        var socket = io('http://localhost:3000');

        $("#triggerBtn").on("click", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();

            socket.emit('room', '1234');
            return false;
        });


        socket.on('message', function(data) {
            console.log("Step 2 OK");               //THIS CODE IS NOT EXECUTED
