This flipbook contains the opening pages of a short story or novel about Ruth, a 32-year-old woman who has just finished taking the Bar examinations. The narrative centers on her emotional and physical exhaustion after months of sleepless nights studying law provisions and reviewers.
The story follows Ruth’s return home after the exam ends. She receives a message from her mother saying her son Eigannel is alone, and when she arrives she finds him asleep under his blanket. Their reunion reveals the tension between Ruth’s ambition to become an attorney and her absence from her child’s life.
A flashback describes Ruth’s morning routine: preparing breakfast and Eigannel’s school lunch, ironing his uniform, but never having time to take him to school because of her Bar exam preparation. She had promised herself that after the Bar she would finally be the mother she wanted to be.
The narrative uses repeated phrases for effect and explores themes of sacrifice, loneliness, and a child’s understanding. The pages end with Ruth waking up on her first post-exam morning without any study materials, only her son beside her.
