The invitation/ The turning point

"The best businesswomen of the year 2012 award goes to Miss Olivia!"
-Declared the model standing up on the stage Olivia rushed towards the stages overwhelmed and took
over the prize. As soon as she touched it all the hardships that very young Olivia had to through
encapsulated in front of her eyes. All those sleepless nights, long and tiring days, and most of all the
lonely atmosphere she had to grow up in seemed to visualize.

Only 16-year-old Olivia knows how's life to a small girl whose parents died in a car accident leaving
behind the huge responsibility of handling an empire of 35€ million all by herself. She never had got a
normal life. Life taught her to become an adult in her early teens.

Ever since her parents passed away, she became introverted; For she didn't have anyone whom she
could call hers.

Nobody else can ever imagine how she felt about going back to a house that doesn't even feel like home
after working almost 12 hours at her office. A huge two-story mansion with no people, no family in it. A
mansion is full of furniture, showpieces, and empty air. She hated the way the sound of her mummer
sneezing echoes there.

Everything! Everything! Everything inside that house-All the dishess, The king-sized beds, Their large
dinning table, those flower vases old photo frames of her family hanging on the wall, The cupboards,
Every corner of that mansion just slapped her showing how lonely she was.

On 20th September 2013, Spending another hack day after having a total of 12 meetings and 2
conferences; Olivia head out to her house with her usual mood on her beautiful face not wanting to go
back to her house that doesn't even feel like home.

Suddenly she could smell something burning around her. There her car stopped out of nowhere. She
immediately got down to check up on her car. As she was about to open the boned, she saw a little girl
wearing a torn-up t-shirt with dirty patches all over it, sitting beside a slam dump trying to gather
leftover food and eat them fully.

Belonging to a wealthy family Olivia never saw a such pathetic scenario before this. She was shivering to
witness such a heartbreaking incident in front of her own eyes. This was the moment that changed her
outlook on life forever.

Now, Olivia knew there was nothing to be so ungrateful and negative about her life and circumstances.
Life is different and hard for everyone. At least, she has a roof over her head, good food on her table to
eat, a comfy bed to sleep on, and a fifthly stable bank balance. Maybe it was just life's way to build her
without a family. And maybe that's also life's plan to give that little girl a family to love but no money to
live.
