An Indonesian film based on a true story once gained public attention. The film tells the story of a devoted daughter who can not refuse her mother’s request to take in her younger sister. She already has a husband and children who require her care and a thriving business that demands additional attention to develop. The mother did not take these responsibilities into account.

For her mother to be at peace, she fulfilled her mother’s wishes. She financed her younger sister’s education and treated her with affection. The hope was that the younger sister would become a successful and independent woman.

But without her realizing it, her husband and younger sister got into an affair. Her husband was a devoted husband, though. But he was conquered by evil. It even got to the point where the younger sister wanted to get rid of her older sister from the marriage. She felt she deserved him more.

You know how furious all of Indonesia was following that true story.

Well, a sacrifice that severe, or a sacrifice for evil in-laws, for example, has never happened in my life. Maybe I ever made a quiet sacrifice, but I have really forgotten. Everything was covered by other good things that God has given me.

I am thankful that my life is not too miserable. Mine is not a princess-like life either.
