Jenny was a young girl then. She had her parents and a little brother in their house in the city. One day she tore her jeans and went to her mother to buy her one. Her mother replied that they bought her brother an x-box that month and so they had no money for her stupid luxuries.

Jenny couldn't understand how her this need could be luxury instead of his brother's x-box. Her mother took a scissor and cut her jeans from it was torn. She was shocked of her mom's deed. That's how Jenny had to pass the whole month.

After her brother's birth, she became an unloved child. Her parents noticed her only when they needed to use her as a servant. One day their parents returned home and found out that the room was dirty. They got angry with her and asked the reason. She replied that it was Danny (her brother) who made the mess. Her mother told her to stop lying and clean it up.

Danny grew up spoiled and started treating her elder sister as his parents did. In the dining table he made a mess with food on the table. He was not a baby but acted like that and her parents just saw and enjoyed. When he became tired, he ordered Jenny to clean.

She tried to make him in the right way. And so she told him that he should clean it as he had made the mess. But her mother became angry with her and asked if it was so difficult for her. She exclaimed that Jenny was the worst daughter ever. It was everyday picture.

Jenny constantly got annoyed with her brother. She had no one to talk in that house. Even if they talked, it always seemed to her it was better not to talk. One day she was standing alone and her brother came. He said to her it would have been better if she were not born. She was hurt by being continuously rebuked.

Every summer, her parents sent her to her granddad in the village. They spend their summer in the best places in the world, whereas she stayed in the village. Once her parents forgot to pick her up from her grandpa's. She was very sad that her parents had forgot her.

Her grandpa came to her to console. She forbade the sweet girl not to cry. He said that he loved her with all of his heart. That's when Jenny got a good person to leave and made her decision to stay with her granddad forever.

She immediately called her parents. Deep down, she hoped her parents would be outraged by this decision. But in reality they didn't even mind. They said that it was alright for her to stay there. When her parents were ignoring her, she heard her father's voice who was playing with Danny.

But she had seen it much and further it had no impact on her. At that point, communication with her parents was limited to one or two phone calls a month. And even during those calls, they talked about Danny instead of being interest in Jenny's life. They were happy with their boy.

Jenny thanked the Almighty that she had a grandfather who tried his best to replace her parents. He hugged her in her bad times and consoled.

Four years have passed....

Jenny went to college and moved back to the city. She needed somewhere to live. And of course, she asked her parents for shelter. She phoned her mom and asked if she could stay with them. She said sorry as Jenny's room was Danny's music room then.

Because of that, she was forced to wander around the city for several nights until she was assigned a dorm. Since then, Jenny hadn't seen her parents. She often went to the village to meet her grandpa. But he didn't get any younger and unfortunately he passed away.

She cried a lot and found it very difficult to bear that loss. For a few days, she just walked around his house remembering how good he was. One day she was still sleeping and an unexpected knock woke her up. There was a man and she let him in.

The man said to Jenny that he was her granddad's notary. He also gave her the good news that she was rich from then. She didn't know anything about it. But it turned out that her grandfather had saved money his whole life and left all of it to her.

After this one day her mom called her and invited her to Danny's birthday party. She was very happy because while she was living with her grandpa, she was never invited. She assured her mother that she would be there.

Jenny was hoping they would support her but they had found out about the inheritance. And they wanted to make use of them. Her mother said to her, "Honey, Danny's going to college and he wants a new apartment." They wanted her as a loving elder sister to make a gift to her little brother.

But she was not fool then. She asked them how they dare asked her that. That money just fell on her from the sky. But it came to her from someone close to her who they forgot about as much as they forgot about her. She couldn't hold back her tears because all of her hopes were vanished. She turned around and left their house.

Three years had passed....

Jenny thought she would never meet her parents again. But one day they came to her on their own. Her mother said to her that they realized they were very wrong with her. Her father asked her to forgive them.

It turned out that one night they were sleeping and at the midnight their beloved son had stolen a huge amount of money from their locker. Then he left in an unknown direction. And when they had no money left, they remembered Jenny.

Jenny said to them that they had used up all possible chances of getting a loving daughter. She asked them to go away. She also told them that she had already forgiven them. But she didn't forget what they had done to her.

If you can't treat your children equally, maybe you should not have more than one.
