The story revolves around a 23-year-old woman who has always been overshadowed by her older sister, Emma, who was their mother’s favorite. Since childhood, Emma received all the attention, the best opportunities, and never had to contribute to household chores. In contrast, the narrator was expected to do all the housework while juggling her studies and part-time job.

One day, after years of feeling neglected and unappreciated, the narrator reaches her breaking point. She finally stands up to her mother and Emma, expressing her frustration about the unfair treatment. Despite her outburst, neither her mother nor Emma seemed to care, further deepening her sense of isolation.

Unable to tolerate the situation any longer, the narrator decides to move out and stay with a friend. This decision marks a turning point in her life, allowing her to focus on her own education and career in graphic design. She starts to thrive, gaining independence and confidence away from the toxic environment at home.

Months later, the narrator learns from a neighbor that Emma has been neglecting her studies and is involved in a scandalous relationship with a professor. This news is followed by a phone call from her distraught mother, revealing that Emma has run off with most of her savings, leaving her devastated.

For the first time, the mother acknowledges her mistakes, apologizes for the years of favoritism, and asks the narrator to come back home. Despite her lingering resentment, the narrator agrees to return, under the condition that things will change. Together, they begin to rebuild their relationship and the home, while the narrator continues to pursue her dreams in graphic design. The story ends on a note of cautious optimism, with the narrator hopeful for a new beginning with her mother, even as they both cope with the fallout of Emma’s betrayal.
