The story "Servant Girl" by Estrella Alfon shows reality.It is the real or common experiences of servants here and abroad, being abuse by their mistress or employer.
In the story, Rosa didn't experience joining the laughter of other servants who was washing in the bathhouse, and she was always been beaten by her mistress for the reason that she works so slow.Then one day, she met a cochero who helped her. From that day, Rosa didn't stop thinking and waiting outside if he is going to pass, he named him "Angel".She try to rebel against her mistress, she made a vow that she won't came back there.She met again the Cochero but unfortunately it was also the only who brought her back to the place she wanted to escaped to.

I think it is only an infatuation or admiration that Rosa felt for "Angel" for the first time she had seen him because the cochero was so gentle compare to others. She was just longing for some care, affection and she thinks that she will have it if she will be with "Angel".It was her dream to escape in the mistreatment of her mistress.Rosa wanted to be free and to be loved but in the end she didn't achieve that, she just accepted to get back in the house.

I really felt pity to Rosa with what she had experience but in a way, I admire her for being strong and patient serving the mistress though she doesn't receive the right treatment .Based on this story, I realized that we should also respect, love and give freedom to our servants because they work hard and at the same time they share their life with us. so we must treat them as if they are also one of the family members.
