"Good Morning, Angelina," said Nancy progressing towards her exquisite dressing table.
"Its 7 in the morning, get up."
"Oh this warm morning. Why does it come so soon after every night! O..o..o good morning der sister", said Angelina in a sleepy lazy tone.
"Well little sis, your night outs makes nights small and so the morning seems to come sooner than it really does. Now don't be lethargic; get up get ready and better rush to your college or you will be late."
Nancy shut the door after saying these words not realising that her sister has afain gone to slumber.
"Bob. Is my breakfast ready?" Nancy screamed loudly.
"Yes, madam", the voice came from downstairs.
Stepping down the stairs she saw Bob serving the breakfast which included her favourite Cheese Sandwiches and Strawberry Shake. Nancy took her seat as Bob stoos beside her waiting for her next order.
"Hmm..so very nice. I just love Joe, he's the best chef in the world. Present him with $10." Nancy handed the money to Bob.
After eating her breakfast she exited of her lavish villa instructing Bob,"Make sure Angelina gets ready and reaches her college in time."
She sat in her BMW as the door was opened by the driver. "Good Morning Madam"
"Good Morning", she gave a warm, gentle smile to the driver and left for her office 9 kilometres away from her villa.
Nancy and Angelina were so happy, loving and affectionate that no one would ever realise that they are actually orphan step sisters. But if closely observed, they were like poles apart in temperament. Nancy was a business woman. She would always put her heart and soul in expanding her business thereby making her business ventures a major success. Totally disciplined and rational in thinking, she would never waste a single moment of her life. She believed 'life is transient and we are mortals.' So work hard amd make your presence felt in the world.
Angelina too believed in the universal truth that we are mortals but looked at it from a very different perspective. She wanted to enjoy every bit if her life before it ends. For Nancy life was all about holidays, shopping, travelling and merry making. Both the sisters were doing what they wanted and that too splendidly.
"Combox Ltd. is running into losses after the death of its C.E.O. Mr. Kennedy. His son's business ethics are being questioned by their dealers," the finance manager conveyed the news to Nancy.
"O great! Congratulations to everyone, especially our company's employees. their efforts have been paid off. Now Angnan Ltd is the No. 1 company of America. Time to celebrate."
Nancy rang a bell and the Personal Secretary came to her cabin. "Organise a party on 8th of next month and invite all the employees of our company, said Nancy with victorious smile on her face.
"yes mam." the secretary leaved after congratulation her.
Nancy wanted to celebrate the occasion personally with her younger sibling. She went home in the evening. No sooner did she reach home she shouted, "Angel, Angel...". Hearing her sister's voice, Angel ran down from her room towards Nancy to know what the matter was. The moment Nancy glanced at Angel she ran towards her and tightly hugged her.
" There's good news, guess what?"
"What?"
"Angnan Ltd. has left Combox Ltd far behind in competition."
"That's amazing Nancy!! I am thrilled to hear this. Let's go shopping and party hard."
"Shopping?"
"Ya...What? Don't you want to go?"
"No, I dont..It will be a sheer waste of time. We should go to the church Angelina and thank the lord for bestowing happiness."
"Okay...alright, lets go to the church."
Nancy noticed a bit of disappointment on Angel's face and said putting her arm around her waist, "Don't be disheartened. We should not waste time because we are mortals. Utilize every second God has given you. And I have planned a grand celebration on 8th of next month. So You can enjoy then. Don't worry."
"Nancy that is good that you kept a party but please don't regard enjoying life as waste of time. If we take out time to relax it will keep us going even longer."
There was a silence and then both went to church.
The 8th arrived. It was the time to celebrate the success The ceremony was going to be solemnized in Americans Choice at 10 o' clock.
The sisters were so nicely dressed in rose pink and ice blue that they looked not less than any princess. The ethereal beauties entered the enormous hall of Americans Choice and everyone applauded and greeted them.
The dances, cocktails and revelry commenced and had just reached its peak when someone shot at Nancy. No one could believe their eyes. From where did the gunshot came and how did it struck Nancy's neck. There was chaos all around. Everyone ran to save themselves but it was Angel who saw Nancy falling on the floor spreading her arm towards her.
She immediately ran and put her sister's head on her lap. Angel was still in a state of shock. Nancy repeated those words she always said "We are mortal" and breath her last. Angelina burst into tears and understood that rivalry with Combox Ltd. took her sister's life. She wept and cried and howled and understood the real meaning of 'We are mortal.'
"Its 7 in the morning, get up."
