A Rose In The Hands Of A Devil
1
Mrs Taki
This house belongs to me!
Mrs Taki
Now get out of my home!
Mrs, Vila
You poisoned my husband!
Mrs, Vila
You will burn in hell!
Mrs, Vila
My lord saw everything!
Mrs Taki
Then why isn’t he coming down from heaven to help you?
Mrs, Vila
He will punish you!
Mrs Taki
( She grabbed her hair in frustration. )
Dia, hold her mother’s hand, as they both stepped out of the palace.
Dia
Mommy… why does father hate us?
Mrs, Vila
He didn’t. He never hated us.
Dia
But he told you to go back to granny’s house.
Mrs, Vila
He did, because he was controlled by that woman. She controlled him. Your daddy was a good man.
Dia
He’s… he’s gone? How did he die?
Dia
Mommy… you decorated the whole palace with your own hands on my birthdays.
Mrs, Vila
Ah… I remember. Your birthday is soon…
Dia
We can’t celebrate it.
Mrs, Vila
Not the way we used to, but in a different way.
Mrs, Vila
Yes, little princess…
Mrs, Vila
“I love you too.”

Mrs. Vila handled the situation with remarkable grace.
She couldn’t return to her homeland; she didn’t want to be a burden.
Once the queen of the palace, fate had now turned her into a servant in the homes of others.
She quietly began washing dishes and tidying homes, enduring her new life with dignity.
Dia held her stomach, wincing from the pangs of hunger.
Mrs, Vila
The rice will be ready soon… just a little longer,
Mrs. Vila replied gently.
Dia
Mommy… today is my birthday. You said we would celebrate it.
Dia
But the sun has already set… see, the stars are shining. When will we celebrate my birthday?
Mrs, Vila
After the rice is cooked, okay?
Once ready, Mrs. Vila served the rice on a single plate, and they ate together quietly, sharing the simple meal.
Dia
Mommy… look at my leg… it’s all red!
Mrs, Vila
It’s just a mosquito bite, dear.
Mrs. Vila kissed Dia’s forehead softly.
Later, she lit a small candle on a plate of biscuits she had baked secretly—her little surprise for her daughter’s ninth birthday.
Dia
Yeees! Mommy, thank you so much!”
Mrs, Vila
“Oh, my little princess… make a wish.”
Dia
When will we go back to the palace? I miss my tutor and my pets..
Mrs, Vila
We will… very soon.
Mrs, Vila
(I wish I could take you there, baby… but I can’t. That woman took everything from me—
Mrs, Vila
She took the palace, the business… she snatched everything we had.
Mrs, Vila
I will never forgive your father for this.
Mrs, Vila
But thank God I have you, my precious one…
Mrs, Vila
The one who’s more valuable than anything in this world.)
