They both grew up together, young children of god unaware of future implications. She was conditioned to behave one way, silent, docile and shy. She was told that even though she was a mistake, her every action held the power to either destroy or build the family's reputation. While the boy, was left to run wild. He was raised on immense love, his every mistakes overlooked and his every whims and fantasises entertained.

Unaware that she was the "unwanted" child she gave her "unconditional" love. The same society that saw her as a burden, hailed her but dismissed her selfless actions as mere 'duty' while completely overlooking the actions of the absconding son.
