Alipin Series 4: Prison and Chains (wlw)

Parang modern-day Rapunzel si Harper, iyon ang madalas niyang marinig mula sa mga pinsan niya. Dahil kahit wala siyang tore, daig pa niya ang nakakulong sa mala-agilang surveillance ng kanyang ina.

And Harper had grown used to it, convincing herself that her mother's suffocating watchfulness was only proof of deep love, that she was her most treasured gem.

Ganun naman talaga ang iniingatan, hindi ba? Itinatago. Binabantayan. Ikinukulong.

But when the air grew heavy and her world shrank smaller each day, Harper finally realized, she wasn't a prized possession. She was a prisoner.

Tama silang lahat.

She hated it. Pero ano namang magagawa nya?

Hanggang sa dumating si Olivia. The woman fascinated her, and from a distance, Harper found herself wanting to know more. That curiosity led her to this moment, catching Olivia and her friend vandalizing their restaurant, stealing a carbonara recipe that wasn't even hidden to begin with.

Naisip niyang baka blessing in disguise ito. Something to entertain her within the confines of her mother's so-called love. But later, she realized she had a habit of walking into cages, only this time, it was one she had chosen herself.
