Chapter 6: The Locked Door
There was a room in Mina's house that had always been locked. Her parents never spoke of it, and neither did the staff. One evening, driven by boredom and curiosity, Mina lingered near it. The door seemed to call to her, an invitation to break the rules just once.
"What could be inside?" she wondered, her hand brushing the cold knob.
But, as with everything in her life, the answer was just out of reach.
Chapter 7: A Glimpse of Rebellion
Mina's world was ruled by her parents' commands, but every now and then, a spark of rebellion flickered inside her. She longed to break free, even if just for a moment.
"If I just ran... would they even notice?" she thought one evening, sitting at the window, watching the night sky.
But her fear always outweighed her desire. She was trapped, not just by her parents, but by her own mind.
Chapter 8: The Visitor
One afternoon, her parents invited a business associate for dinner. His son, a boy around Mina's age, caught her eye. He seemed... different. He looked at her with curiosity, something she hadn't felt in a long time.
"What's your name?" he asked when her parents weren't around.
Mina hesitated, her throat dry. "Mina," she whispered, her heart racing.
It was the first time in years someone outside her family had spoken to her. The encounter left her with a strange, bittersweet taste of what life could be.
Chapter 9: The Plan
After that night, Mina's thoughts became consumed by the idea of escape. She began planning in secret, even though she didn't know where she would go or what she would do.
"I could run," she told herself. "I could just leave."
But every time she thought about taking that step, she froze. Where would she go? She had no friends, no contacts. Her world was too small.
Chapter 10: Confrontation
One evening, Mina finally confronted her parents.
"Why do you keep me locked away?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Her father didn't even look up from his papers. "It's for your own good," he said.
Her mother added, "You don't understand the world, Mina. It's dangerous. You're better off here."
Mina clenched her fists. "But I don't live here. I exist. I want more."
Neither of them responded. Her words fell into the emptiness between them.
