Everyday, she does her daily routine, wash the clothes, get drinking water, and
sometimes when her mistress is drunk, forces her to eat or she'll starve to death.
The mistress, in spite of her bad humour, is pitiful at times especially when she saw
Rosa burst into tears because of her beating. But she values money, and loses self-
control when there is something loss or wasted.
Rosa was a kind, patient and understanding girl. In spite of the beatings of her
mistress, she stayed with her and continues to do her job. Until one day, she met
her "Angel" a cochero she met who helped her ease her swollen foot. From the day
she met him, she constantly dreamed of him, and eventually, she was infatuated
with him.
She distinguished "Angel" as different from other men, that he was a kind-hearted
and gentleman; far enough from Sancho's characteristics.
Later on the story, when she decided to move out of the house, she met "Angel"
late at night. She then realized that she was not in love with the man, that it was
merely a feeling to express her gratitude for helping her back then. She then
realized that this "Angel", can also whip a girl alone in the road at night. She then
made her mind that there's no way to run now, that her only choice is to go back to
her mistress.
From this story, I realized that there are a lot of choices that we need to make in life.
But whatever decisions we made, whatever choice we decide to choose, we should
seek on God, I know He knows what's best for us and I know He'll never let us down.
That's for sure. ;D
