The story is a heartfelt letter from a daughter to her father, expressing her feelings about independence and self-identity. She acknowledges that for 23 years, she has never insisted on anything from him because she understands the hard work he puts in to support the family. However, she emphasizes that she does not want to live her life just like everyone else, especially in the traditional sense expected of women. The daughter reflects on past promises made by her father regarding rewards for her academic achievements, contrasting them with his current expectations for her to conform to societal norms. She argues that it is not right to follow blind traditions and insists on her right to make her own choices, including the decision not to marry. She asserts that she desires to be a successful businesswoman and questions whether her father would support her if she were in a different position. The letter concludes with her reaffirming her commitment to remain close to her father, indicating that her life would feel incomplete without him, despite her desire for independence.
