Ahlam yearned for acceptance, but was rejected by all -except for her Grandpa, Omar Bako. Unlike most hybrids, she wasn't proud to be one. She was tagged as a Kabila and shunned serially. General Omar Bako was an affluent man who had a capital M to his money. On his quest to acquire more fortune, despite Ahlam being his favorite-he betrothed her in a parley. Money first, then family. She was left to joggle between her career - Software Engineering (to the Bako's, there were two occupations. Engineering and the disgrace), one sided love of her cousin Omar Jr. who avoided her like a plaque ( doggelganger to his Grandpa), and meeting her new family. Omar Bako always said, "It's better to choke on greatness, than to nibble on mediocrity." What seemed like literal words became a reality when he was found in a pool of his own blood. Stabbed by his own! The family he worked hard to build. What was the reason-money, greed or betrayal?
