The window cleaner

A list of stones

The velvet sofa had been conveyed to Siins apartment in the staff quarters of the facility. Even though he had a bed in his room, the giant single seater sofa was were he found the most comfort to rest on. He had returned back to his apartment after having a hectic day at work. He headed straight to his sofa and sat comfortably in it before he began to reflect on his life. These past week, he had encountered nothing but Success in his life and who he owed all of it to. There was not a single night that had passed without Siin thinking about Kaltumi. He knew powers were not be abused and was rather obedient to her directives of reaching to him after monitoring his progress. Indeed, her promise was unraveling in his life and he could only give gratitude to her. Amidst all the thrills that came with his success . There was an emptiness in his heart which was fueled by the notion of missing what one could never get. The fact that Kaltumi was a ghost always made him sad. Only if he had known, he would have avoided falling in Love with her. The impossibility of the both of them ever being together made him very Sad. He had most times wondered about the joy in all his success if what really gave him joy was not part of the package. He was already dozing off in Soft sofa Chair , when flash of breeze blew him back to consciousness. He quickly opened his eyes and standing before him amidst bluish ambience of light was Kaltumi.

" Kaltumi." He gasped in excitement and stood firm on his feet

" I have been thinking about you ever since I returned from the border realm. " How have you been. ?" Said Siin with a rush of excitement.

Kaltumi was silent for a while as her face bore an indifference reaction then all of a sudden, she smiled and began to speak.

" I am impressed with your achievements in such a short time . You have really done very well. Our mission has just began. In the future to come you shall be wealthier and influential than you ever thought in your life. You must never forget that you owe all your happiness to me and me alone. Do as I say and you shall be among the most powerful men in the Arab Gulf. " Said Kaltumi in a fluid flow of voice that had a slight echo to it.

" You are my forever benefactor. You took me out from the slum and made my life beautiful. I owe it all to you. I exit only as an instrument to your will. You should know that by now." Said Siin as he smiled heartily to radiant face of kaltumi.

" Oh Siin. You elate me. I'm glad I choosed you. Each sunset I try to rest in peace but I can't. I hear the laughters and the footsteps of my killers. They taunt me. They abused my body. They ceased the breath from my lungs. They killed me. And then they taunt me. Their very existence taunts away every single ounce of repose I ever gathered. Only their death can bring me peace. " Said Kaltumi as her voice began to break down into an emotional cry of pain. Siin could see her eyes moisten with tears till they shone like that of philines at night. The sight of sad and broken kaltumi sent Siin into an agitated frenzy for instant revenge.

" They shall pay for what they have done to you." Said Siin as the veins of his neck widened in rage.

" My death would never go for nothing. More girls like me are getting murdered by the Members of the gulf fraternity. This our chance to stop them . The supreme has brought us for reason. We must transist the souls of my killers as that is the only way we can rid Arab Gulf from the shackles of the evil hands that has held its people to ransom. You are a surgeon not only of the body but also of the metropolis. Your operation would begin soon and you shall have no second thought in getting rids of all the stones to save guard the diamonds. Is this clear to you?. " Said Kaltumi as her gaze was fully on that on Siin who seemed to be hypnotized by her elegance and more.

" I totally understand you Kaltumi. As long as I live in shall avenge your death by getting rid of your killers. They shall never go Scot free . They took you away from me. " Said Siin with a fallen intonation that decended into an emotional sobs.

" You make me happy Siin. These stones must be thrown into the ditch and hidden under earth so that others can commute the roads of destiny with ease. We are on a Sacred mission to Cleanse The Arab Gulf off wolves in human clothing. The thoughts of bringing eternal happiness to the faces of people should fetch you the greatest feeling of honor. Have no second thought of excusing their misarable lives out of their bodies,when you get the chance to do so. You must be wise and deligent. Some targets you should be able to handle with ease and discreet , others you must handle with wisdom and controlled publicity. The process of cleansing is never one to be rushed. It must be carried out with great Care and precision." Said Kaltumi as she stood before Siin.

" Your will shall be done. I will put my life on the line for you . I owe you and I love you." Said Siin in committed tempo.

" You shall have to prove your claims to me. Here is a list of the seven people that conspired and ceased the breath out of my body. We shall work our way from the least powerful of them to the most powerful of them. So listen attentively . The first target to be cleansed is staff sergeant Mirul Buba. I can still feel his palms , pressed around my neck. All my pleas fell for nothing so shall his pleas to. " Said Kaltumi as glittery tears rolled down her cheek.

This sore sight of the love of his life made Siin to almost run out to search for the target but then he remembered that he had no idea where to find him.

" Where can I come across this man you speak about. " Said Siin with an air of eargeeness"

" The May Allen tavern. He is always there drinking his existence away. If I had much time I will have rather watched him gradually kill himself. Remember be discreet and avioid geitting caught at all cost. " Said Kaltumi Without smiling at Siin.

" Your will is my command." Said Siin still boiling in a rage to Cleanse off Mirul.

" I am fair and just . I forbid you to Cleanse any target without confessing them by t*****e. You shall t*****e them to the best of your ability if they fail to confess after that period, then they shall be forgiven as their braveness had paid off. But if they confess within the first thirty minutes, waste no time in cleansing the earth off that unwanted Stone." Said kaltumi in ghostly tenor.

" Very much noted. I will do as you have instructed. " Said Siin as he panthed densely in a rage that was driven by a dire need for vengeance.

" Good luck to us. Do not forget that the world looks up to us to rid the off the bad eggs. We must not fall short on our responsibilities. I will see you again when the time is right. Bye Siin." Said Kaltumi with a hearty smile and a melancholic voice that becharmed the senses of Siin as would sirens becharm the Senses of sailors at sea. Siin had opened his mouth as if to speak but couldn't bring himself to say good bye to the love of his life. In few twinkles of an eye ,she had vanished into thin air. Siin crashed back to the comfort of his sofa. His loneliness was at an all time high. The night was peaceful and quiet, it provided a perfect avenue for two hearts in love, yet , there he was sitting lonely with no one to talk to. He wished kaltumi had stayed longer with him or perhaps just stayed forever. It was the emptiness that accompanied her coming and going that made him lonely the more. However the nail to the coffin, was the fact that, they could never be together unless serious sacrifices were to be made. Siin knew the times to get subdued by emotions were long over. It was Time to get a hold of himself and plot out a way to bring down Sergeant Mirul who had strangled Kaltumi to death under the instructions of the five top dignitries of the Gulf fraternity. He reached for a pen and paper to write down his assault plan against Mirul, but then he concluded that such matters were best scripted in his memory rather than on a papar which could be used as forensic evidence , whenever the chips were down against him. He balanced further in the enclave of his soft sofa, took a deep breath, closed his eyes , and began to script the plan in his head where it was safe from the world
