"As the AWB company rises to its peak,gossips goes on about the mysterious CEO of the greatest company ever.Who is the mysterious person who rules all of the AWB.What is his or her identity??Everything still remains unknown.To know more,keep an eye on daily news.See you all next day.".....
A click was heard.The TV was shut down.
"It has been years since Angela died. Guess I should take on the CEO position as Brittany is not willing to.But how can I when they were the one who constituted in this company.",A girl sighed. She was sitting all alone in the dark facing a blank wall.
The girl was none other than Walaa.Walaa Nur.
Walaa comes from an aesthetic Egyptian family from Saudi.Her father was a drunkard and a waste since he was jobless and slept around with various women. Soon he contracted STD and died.Walaa's mother supported her family by working in a hotel.
And that is when she met Angela.
Angela was the daughter of a reputed family, supporting parents who had good relations among each other and of course ,huge property. Angela's father was a businessman and her mother was a scientist. Poor Angela never got to spent any time with them and used to live with her grandparents.
The first time they met was a pretty suprising situation.
Angela was a tourist who visited Egypt for fun reasons alongside her friend.And Walaa worked as a tourist guide there since they shifted to Egypt after her father's death because Egypt provided much more chances than Saudi which was a pretty traditional country and values norms . Also since her mother was of chinese origin so she knew to speak the language .Walaa never completed her university since they were always short of money and lived in a shabby one room apartment.
The day they met was a sunny thrilling day by the Sphinx.
Walaa knew everything about Egypt.She had been there since five probably....she remembered the Egypt more than she remembered her father.
She was standing near the Sphinx to guide tourists along side the pyramids of Giza and other notable sights to be seen and that is when she met Angela.She was stranded alone broken away from her friends.She was flustered,knowing nothing to do and started crying.
Walaa noticed her crying but she did not know what to do.She approached her and asked...
"Will you just sit around and cry??Aren't you a big girl?",she asked her.
Angela looked at her for a second and then asked her,"What you would have done if you were also lost like this??",she was perturbed as the other felt her as a crybaby.
"I know all the places in Egypt. I was here when I was just...five years old at least. My mom works in a hotel to support us.And I work as a tourist guide as a part time alongside working in the hotel.I am paid too.But rich brats like you probably will not understand our woes. "
Angela felt offended by Walaa's words.But her face glowed up with a smile after wards.
"Tell me more about yourself",she asked Walaa.

Walaa sat by the ground face to face by Angela looking at her in disbelief.She was still surprised that Angela asked her to tell more about her while many wouldn't even bother to.She was really different than other rich kids.
"Are you really thinking that how eccentric I am to ask about you??I was pretty surprised to see you,you know??",Angela intervened between her thoughts.
"What will you do by knowing about me anyways??I am just a poor tourist guide. Shouldn't you be thinking how you would go home??",Walaa replied immediately.
"I have no purpose of returning home though.",Angela replied sarcastically. There were unspoken tears like she really doesn't care anyways.
"My family is a typical European family.A businessman father and a scientist mother.I grew up my childhood in my grandparent's house and after I was in my teens,I went into a boarding school.",Angela's face darkened while speaking those words.
Walaa felt as if something pierced her heart.
"Were you always this alone. You probably had happy days with your grandparents. I never had a grandparent though.My father....I despised him.You really wanna know about my life??',Walaa smirked.
Angela smiled a little.
"You are successful in making me smirk after so many years girl."Angela hug her.
"Really,why I thought you knew how to smile though.",Walaa's cheeks were hurt due to laughing .She never laughed this much in her life.But she was enjoying it.It felt as if she saw life from a new perspective.
"You truly opened my eyes Angela",Walaa had tears in her eyes.
"Man why are you crying??" Angela got scared.
"Nothing this are just the tears of happiness.I am crying out of happiness.It was so nice to meet you.",Walaa hugged her.
They sat down together by the Sphinx.
The evening came soon and Angela's friends soon came to rescue her.But Angela was having a good time with Walaa though.So she didn't return with her friends.
"Are you really going to stay with me??" Walaa asked literally surprised. "Can you adjust in here??".
"Of course.No worry,it will never be a problem for me.I am a strong girl.",Angela perked.It felt that her nose grew out of satisfaction.
"Don't get so proud girl that you can stay in hardship unlike other rich brats.We have a lot of work to do.Let us go now or else my mother will be tensed. ",Walaa was now getting a little irritated
They walked all by the desert and it looked as if the moon was shining on them itself.The weather started to become cold and soon they were shivering.Walaa took out her coat and then gave it to Angela.
"Don't you feel cold too??",Angela asked.
"I can bear with it.You are new so wear it.It will keep you warm.",Walaa replied.
They hugged each other and continued walking by the desert.
(Flashback end)
A drop came out of Walaa's eyes

Five years later.
Walaa was sitting in her office with a cup of coffee and some files in her hand.She was checking out the new renovations to be done in the office.That is when a call came in.
"Hello Ms.CEO.How are you??",The other sider spoke.
"Good and bad, not so great though".Walaa replied.
"So,how are you Brittany?",she continued .
"I am fine .Just like you.Not so great,I have just started to date some five months ago.Pretty funny isn't it.He is three years younger than me though.",Brittany was laughing.
Walaa was rotating a block by her hands while talking. There was no emotion in her face though.
"Are you really fine Walaa??",Brittany asked suddenly.
"Why not??I can cope up with the CEO position now much better than before.And I have got great supporting assistants and workers here.My buisness plans are going on well.I am fine.....",her voice was getting heavy.
"Are you happy Walaa??That is what matters the most.You care about everyone around you but you forget to care about yourself....",Brittany felt pity.
And Walaa could keep it no more.She burst out in tears.
"I don't know what to do....I miss Angela so much.If I had been there in her place,probably the company would have been much better. She was much more proficient and excellent than me in this field. She deserved to live because she....she was a hope which I lived for.I miss her.I miss her so much",Walaa controlled her emotion.Her voice became heavy after crying.
"We all are missing her.Probably it was her fate to die this early.But wherever she is, I hope she is fine and in peace.She believed in you Walaa so you have to carry her legacy.Just complete her last wish.And sort out your feelings.I have been seeing you and Angela for ten years.But what relationship you share with Angela is irreplaceable, even I can't compare to it",Brittany was getting a little emotional.
"Maybe you are right.But I feel so drained and tired. I feel so empty without her.We shared something more than friendship....Sisterhood",Walaa replied abruptly.
"Why don't you take a break.You had been ruling the AWB empire for five years and handling everything by an iron fist.You also need to have a life,romance ,children and care to sooth your dry heart. How long had it been since you dated or loved a guy??",Brittany said.
This took Walaa by surprise.She was not always so serious and workaholic. Probably in some point,she was jealous and angry on Angela too.She thought herself as the principal reason for Angela's death.She felt guilt and remorse within her heart.
"Can we talk later Brittany??",she was a little lost.
She cut the call abruptly.
She took a photo by her hand.It was Angela's photo.She looked so graceful and motherly in that.She started to think something
