SERVANT GIRL by Estrella Alfon

I was touched by this story. A story that shows how servants are treated by their masters.
A story of ordinary people whose dream is to have a wonderful life, to be free, to do what she really wants to do, and to escape from her mistress. A story of a poor girl who believe in something but failed her in the end.

Rosa did not experience the things that her neighbors are experiencing. She wants to get involve in the conversations of other women but she is limited in their washroom. this just show how lonely her life is. I, myself, don't want to be trapped in a place where i don't want to stay. i want to be with the people i love, and i want to experience everything. but that is not the real life. everyone has limitations and sad to know, Rosa is one of those unfortunate people who cannot do anything she wants.

Rosa is longing for happiness. She wants to experience how to love and to be loved. And when she met her "Angel" (Pedro), she knew that her Angel would save her. She never stop believing that he will be back to save her, that her "Angel" will remember her, and he will be the savior of Rosa. Everyone wants to meet their "Angel" . Everyone wants to experience a problem-free life.

Angel gave Rosa an inspiration. He's the reason why she can survive despite the things that her mistress is doing to her. Angel became her strength.

I was so sad, knowing that after all the things that Rosa did just to see him, it will be just a useless thing for in the end, though she met Angel again, it is he who bring Rosa back to her unlucky life. It is so sad to know the fact that no matter what you do, as long as it is not meant for you, it will never happen, and you will never get what you want.

But, what happened to Rosa made her realize that she will never escape her life, that her "Angel" is just an imaginary hero, that no one will save her but herself.

It is not wrong to believe in something, but we should know our limitations. We should not forget what reality is. We should not focus on what we want but also on what we really need.
