However, when her parents announce that they are having another child, Bruna feels jealous and left out.

Bruna's parents are so focused on caring for Belinha that they often neglect Bruna's needs and desires. On her birthday, Bruna is disappointed when her parents tell her that they cannot afford to buy her a guitar, her dream gift, because they need to spend the money on Belinha's medicine.
