2087 Words
No longer a tenant in the slums of Sada Kalif. Had been given a furnished apartment in the confinement of the facility before he could get an apartment of his own. It was already morning and he had an appointment with Sheikh Shagori. The speed at which his miserly life had transformed from miserly to good was baffling even to him. He had gotten over a hundred thousand dollars in cash kept in his bank account, had gotten a job and also gotten a house . All within the span of two days. ." Knowledge is indeed powerful." He said to himself in a monologue as he stood before the large mirror in his room after dressing up in a modest while kaftan veil. He had already asked for persmiosion to leave his duties for the day so he could honor the billonaires invitation which was swiftly granted by Doctor Allen. He had the choice of waiting for his drivers ,who were coming to pick the infant together with it's new assigned mother , but he had other options on handling his Trip. He felt he hadn't Siin Salda Kalif in the new light of events so an independent commuting of the roads was a better option for him in seeing the town from the perspective of a Super human. " This is the town I shall conquer. He whispered to himself as he balanced comfortably at the back seat of a taxi. " Excuse me sir , you said.?." Said the taxi driver as set his gaze to the mirror to watch Siin as who spoke from behind. " Salda Kalif is a beautiful town isn't it?" Said Siin with an air of Majesty in his tone. " Yes sir it's really a beautiful town. But we all wished the town was ran by people with beautiful minds. The gap between the rich and the poor in this city is too wide apart. We the dregs of the society are always at the collecting side" Said the Driver who was an Arab man in his early fifties. " Indeed. Beautiful minded leaders are absent in Salda Kalif . All they do is loot from the towns treasury at the detriment of the people. The suffering endured by refugees and migrants on a daily basis is situation no human should go through. Yet lots of people die of malnourished related diseases while the rich man waste food around. " Said Siin as he looked at the various skyscrapers from a different perspective. " We need a change of things in this city. I find it difficult to feed my family because the owner of this car takes eighty percent of what I make per day excluding tips. Eighty percent is outrageous. It's capitalism at it's ugliest form. I do the whole work and get almost nothing in return yet I have no choice but to comply as there are many other out here who would take the job and remit ninety percent to the boss. " Said the man who seemed to be enjoying the conversation even though he staged a fallen face to show his displeasure. " Well I used to be window cleaner for many months . My wages were so little that I couldn't save to buy a new trouser for more than six month. Things can't go on like this. How can one seat at home and reap eighty percent of anothers man hardwork. That's just sad. " Said Siin who was still viewing the Scenarios of the bustling town as the taxi passed by. " The war in Sharjah and the sorrounding countries have Seen Salda Kalif welcome a massive influx of men and women. They were the major cause of the current economy issues in this emirate. Their coming had broke down the wage rate as there was now and still exist a huge supply of Labour to the market. "Said the taxi driver as he nodded his head slowly in show of sadness to the situation. " Sooner or later the masses would have to eat and for a single Penny they would be controlled and set against all this heartless leaders and capitalist. It's just a matter of time. With it's back at the wall , the rat would have no choice but to fight till it's death." Said Siin. Who could already See the great Shagori Towers. " I totally agree with you sir. Sooner or later things would have to fall into place even if it means the whole system would fall to around. We are always Willing to rebuild properly. Ah Sir we have arrived at your destination." Said the taxi driver as he slowly stepped on the brakes to park by the tower. " Here is ten dollar. Five dollars for your fee and the other five for your personal problems. I wish you all the best in the coming era." Said Siin with an air of Majesty and opened the door to take his leave. " What a kind man you are sir. Thank you very much." Said the Driver whose fallen face had disappeared thanks to the five dollar tip he had received from Siin. As soon as he had alighted from the taxi he suited his grooming with his palms, took a deep breath and headed straight for the office of the Sheikh which was situated at the last floor of the twenty storey tower. He found his way to the elevator and soon he arrived at the hall of the last floor. There were lots of securities and lots of dignitries who sat on expensive leather chairs with elite magazines in their hands. Most of them sat, in wait of their appointment time with the Sheikh. The gaze of almost everyone in the hall fall on Siin and he could tell it was a gaze of dejecrion rather than that of admiration. He paused for a while and took several looks at himself to check if his kaftan was stained or wether he had subconsciously s**t on himself. After checking out his grooming for A few seconds and finding no lacuna. He took a deep breath and walked majestically to an empty leather cushion which was quite isolated from other chairs. He felt it was for the elites who needed more privacy and did not want to merge with other elites. The soft texture of the cushion was unlike any cushion he had ever sat on his life. For a while he felt as if though he was sinking into the cushion and was quite startled until he realized it was just it's softness that gave it a liquid jelly texture. Some of the elites had noticed the flash show of startlement Soon had exhibited at first impact with the cushion just all they could do was wonder if he was in the right room after all. It wasn't long before they had began to murmur and whisper amidst themselves that a heavily built security personnel came into the floor and walked straight to Siin. " Good morning sir. Please do you have an appointment with the Boss.? This region is strictly for people with appointment with the Sheikh." Said the personnel in a baritone voice which was humble and modest. " Morning sir. I have an appointment with the Sheikh he asked me to come and see him today. He wasn't specific about the time though." Said Siin in a relaxed tone. He had no doubt that it was one of the elites that had called a security on him. " What's the name sir. So that I can ask the secretary to check if you have been successfully booked for an appointment with the boss." Said the Huge personnel. " Sure. My name is Siin Sebenyi. Sorry Doctor Siin Sebanyi from Gulf medical facility." Said Siin. The aspect of reality that he was now a surgeon wasn't one that he had fully came to terms with. It still felt like a good dream to him out of which he could wake up from at any moment. " Okay sir . I will get back to you." Said the huge man and walked walked swift to Mr Shagoris office. All the elites had still been murmuring at each other as they failed to hide the discomfort that the presence of Siin had Caused them. They concluded that someone with his outfit and his whole personalities had no business at an elite circle. They were still exhibiting their passive displeasure when the whole of them suddenly went mute by the new turn of events. A the security had returned with a tray containing rich green tea and honey serenaded dates and to everyones surprise he walked past them and placed it on the beautiful Glass table that stood in front of Siin. " Pardon my prior behaviour Sir. The Sheikh regrets to keep you waiting for him. He is currently in a discreet meeting with one the prince of the royal family. He will be ready to see you when as soon as the prince leaves . In the meantime, here is a little treat from the Sheikh himself. Said the personnel after deligently placing the silver ware on the table." " No problem about that. I know you were only doing your job. Thank you for the treat." Said Siin as he balanced further into the grip of the soft cushion. All the elites stole glances at each other and tucked their heads in shame. The feeling of discomfort had immediately transformed into fear as they knew not who the young man was but one thing they all knew was that he was a man of great value since the Sheikh had singled him out for a treat. Thirty minutes later. The door leading to the Sheikhs office opened and an a young arab man of about thirty years of age walked out along with three high rannking military officers who seemed to be his body guards. The expensive cloak he wore was one among the several indicators of his wealthy linage. Even though the hall had been eluding scent of floral incense. The perfume on the prince had put off the scent of the incense. As he passed by humbly waved at the everyone sitting in the hall before departing the building. Most of the elites sprang to their feet in honor to the young prince greeting and sat back when he entered the elevator. Siin had sat in awe of the princly elegance of the young prince. He was also very much please by the humbleness exhibited by the young man, even though he wasn't sure that such humbleness would have been exhibited if the gathering were of masses and not top elites. He was still in his realm of thought when the huge guard returned and walked straight to him. " Sir. It has been communicated to me that you can now go in to see the Sheikh. I will guide you in." Said The guard with much respect. " Sorry I thought all these individuals present are here to see the Sheikh to ?." Siin asked still seated comfortably on the sofa. " Yes sir. They all are ." Said the Guard and dopped his head in top notch service. " Why aren't they to go in before me. I believe it's like a cue or something of that nature ."said Siin and poured in some more of the green tea into the cup. " You words are true sir. But it seems the Sheikh had made some adjustments and your meeting is now prioritized over theirs. If you don't mind sir. The Sheikh is waiting for you." Said the Guard and signalled towards the direction of the Sheiks office. " Sure lets go please. I was only trying to be just. And if you must know. I am a doctor so many people would wait on my help while I wait here. I guess that's why the Sheikh chose me to come next." Said Siin as they walked to the office of the Sheikh. He knew quite well that the explanation was unnecessary to the guard but he was sure that the elites would ask the guards about him, thus he wanted to appear modest and just before their eyes. The guard had left Siin in the secretarys office and the Secretary himself wasted no time to lead Siin into the office of the Sheikh.
