The window cleaner

A finding

It had just been some minutes after Ramlah had left his office. There was a knock at the door and Siin wondered who it May be again. He was silent for a while and decided to ignore the knock all together until the knock was much louder and persistent.

" Hello. Who is there please." Said Said as he glanced at the door.

" It's Aliya . I'm here with Mansoor to See you. " Said Aliya as she stood beside her husband who was still recuperating from his operation.

" Oh Mrs Mansoor. Just a second. " Said Siin and hurried towards the door.

" Come in please. Prince Mansoor I'm so glad to see your feet." Said Siin as he ushered them into his office.

" Thank you Doctor Siin. I owe my life to you. I may have been long gone had you not intervened." Said Doctor Mansoor in frail tone. His motions were still rather very careful and slow and one could tell that his had suffered a lot from an ailing health.

" I give all the glory to the good lord. You are recovering very fast. How are the kids doing Mrs Mansoor." Said Siin with a warm smile as he turned his attention to Aliya who sat very close to her husband.

" They are all done very fine. How have you been Doctor Siin" said Aliya in a warm tone that was was full of care.

" I have been doing good to myself. Thanks for the Concern. I must confess you are doing a great job in nursing Prince Mansoor..he looks almost fatter what he used to weigh. " Said Siin with a warm smille.

" I'm very much glad that his appetite is sound and excellent. So eats lots of nutritious delicacies which I prepare myself." Said Aliya as she assessed her husband's look with a smile on her face..she was. Just grateful that she had him here with her as she couldn't think of life without Mansoor by her side.

" My Wife is a great cook and nutritionist. I'm really just lucky to be blessed with such a rare gem." Said Mansoor and Smiled warmly at his dotting wife.

" Awwnnn..that is so nice of you Habib." Said Aliya as she reached for the hand of her husband. Siin could only watch the two love birds as they smiled gleefully at each other.

" Doctor Siin. I have once again come to express my esteemed gratitude once again. Mansoor is now strong enough to walk so he followed me here to to express gratitude to you. May your days be long and may it be full of happiness , just as you have filled our lives with happiness " said Aliya with an air of humble royalty.

" Amen. Thank you very much ma. You are so kind. " Said Siin with a smile.

" I do not forget. I believe we had an agreement . Is that So Doctor Siin." Said Aliya as unzipped her bag.

" What agreement was that mam." Said Siin in as he bent his head a little further to recall thier agreement.

" I promised to reward you with the sum of a hundred thousand dollars if the Operation was successful. Well Mansoor here says the amount should be doubled as you did a commendable job." Said Aliya with a warm smile.

" Oh that. That isn't an agreement. I'm baffled that you still recall the happenings of that day. I thought you said that in a traunce. " Said Siin as he smiled paused and continued

" The only agreement I have here is with the management of this facility. I agreed to save life at all cost and any condition or weather. They pay me wages for my services. I can't collect a dime from you in the name of an agreement. " Said Siin in a manner that was cordial and explicit.

" Then you would have to take it as a gift". Said Mansoor in a frail voice that seemed to grow stronger by the seconds.

" There isn't a need for that please. That amount is a fortune to part with." Said Siin with a warm smile.

" No amount can be compared the worth of my life. Perhaps you do not really know who I am right." Said Mansoor as he smiled and nodded his head slowly.

"'Well sir. I know you an affluent figure in Salda Kalif. That's as much as I know about you. "

" Well I am from the immediate past royal family. Far from Salda Kalif our tentacles spread across the Arab gulf. You must have hard of General Al Hozayn right.? " Said Mansoor with a tone of Majesty?.

"'Yes sir. I know or General Al Hozayn. He is a household name. Almost everyone knows him'

" Great then. He is my blood brother . We share both the same mother and father. He is the eldest among us all. Need not to say much. I believe two hundred thousand dollars is a gift to further bring your financial status closer to that of millionaires. It's our way of saying thank you." Said Mansoor as he made hands gestures to buttress his words.

" A gift you say . I can always accept a gift of honor even if it were diamonds as big as the uhud mountains. If what you offer is a gift , then who I'm I not to accept it sir. Thank you very much." Said Siin with a rich smile on his face that appeared too ochestrated as the notion of Mansoor being a blood sibling to the murderer of his love was just too shocking to be true.

" Now's that how a gentleman man behaves. Quick to make profit out of every situation. That's how our family got rich. Always make money when you can and mind you . You must have to do it while you can as opportunities are rare to come by." Said Mansoor with a smile and made a head gesture to his wife to present the percel to Siin.

" Here you are Doctor Siin. Just a token of gratitude for your services. We hope it brings you happiness as you have brought us happiness to." Said Aliya as she stretched the percel containing minted notes to Siin.
