The window cleaner

A spectrum of emotions

So are you implying I have changed over the months ? Do you think living in this mansion has in any way dainted my humbleness? . I think you should look into the mirror and speak the same words to the man you see in there. When we both had nothing, we were all smiles and jokes with each other. But now you a billionaires son and my standards have become petty to you. " Said Ramlah as she looked Siin into the eyes in a bid to drive home her notion.

" Please don't say that Ramlah. I have been a humble boy from the streets most of my life and nothing has changed my humbleness. I try as much to feel the pains of others by putting them in my position. " ...

" Then you should have felt my pain before shutting me down without thinking in the name of being honest. I am a woman. I need care and most importantly I need understanding. It's alright . I know how much you care about me .I'm very grateful for all you have done. But I'm very sorry to let you know that , you do bad job at understanding me." Said Ramlah and transferred her view back to the newspaper.

" To understand a thing may just be one of the most complicated challanges in life especially when people have different views on a single issue. I understand that my decision was fashioned in your best interest and you understand that my decision was fashioned to redicule you. Yet only time can truly tell who among us in on the right path. However in life . Age and wisdom goes a long way in the art understanding." Said Siin as he gazed at Ramlah who seemed engulfed in the newspaper she was reading.

" There is no problem at all. I had to say what was weighing deep on my mind and I'm just glad I did it. I feel very much better now and you must know Doctor Siin. It's almost as if I never loved you at all. The feeling was so overwhelming and now it's gone. Afterall I will have to fight my battles alone. Sooner or later." Said Ramlah and sighed deeply afterwards.

" It's typical of a crush to go as quick as it came. That's why it's never good to rush decisions on Such matter. However I want you know that you have a pillar of support in me as Long as I live." Said Siin in Sober tone.

Ramlah stared briefly at him and this time her gaze returned to the ground. His words were touching and emotional and it made her loose her brave guard for a couple of seconds.

" Don't come hear to bruise my healing heart. Its already coping fine without your thoughts. Trying to be overly nice would only rupture old wounds. You must understand that I don't hate you Siin. But we can never be as close as we used to be cause your nature is nothing but nice and nice is all my heart yearns for at the moment. It was never a crush . It's was the most true of love from the heart of first time lover and hurt me so much to be rejected that I found myself crying. I don't hate you Siin . Maybe a part of my heart, hates you for ripping it into a thousand pieces but I don't love you any more. Someone deserving will take me away someday just the Same way you girlfriend has taken your heart." Said Ramlah in a Sober tone.

" I wish you nothing but happiness. One day you will understand. How is Mahir doing." Said Siin as the thoughts of Mahir came to his mind.

" Mahir is doing fine.Thanks for asking." Said Ramlah in an abrupt manner that wasnt rude .

" I will have to take my leave now. Like i said i havent been feeling to well these past days. I will have to rest my tired bones to recuperate." Said Siin with a little smile on his face.

" I wish you a quick recovery sir." Said Ramlah as she subconsciously gazed heartily at Siin in care of his health before quickly turning away.

" Thank you . I have no doubt that my coming today brings you some sort of happiness. I'm not a monster . I have a heart to. Just know you can always count on me when you need anything." Said Siin.

" I'm glad you came by here. But I don't if you can bail me from any sort of problem irrespective of what type it is ." Said Ramlah as she flipped the paper in a challant attitude.

" What do you mean.?" Asked Siin with an air of curiosity.

" Well if you must know. This is a Asia. A suitor is already lurking in path and has made his intentions clear to my parents. We all don't know who he is. But we know he is a top g*n in the military. Soon I may be taken without my consent and if I refuse. I may end up Like the famous daughter of General Zaylan. Kaltumi." Said Ramlah as she stared bravely at the face of Siin.

" God damn it. No one can hurt you will I breath. No man can take your hands forcely in wedlock this is Salda. This is not a jungle. " Said Siin amidst his control rage.

" Oh yes they can. You forget I'm just a lucky refugee from a poor background. I have no resources to shelf any suitor if they come to strong at me. Only marriage is a shield for me from the attack of any Randy suitor. But , Nay you don't care do you_ all you do is talk."

" You mean a suitor may forcely take your hands in marriage. Without your Consent. Well that can't happen. I will see to it that your Innocence is not abused. " Said Siin as he palpitated in anger. It was the mention of Kaltumis demise that made him feel very bad all of a sudden.

" Same thing was said about Kaltumi. Till this day her killers roam freely on the streets of Salda Kalif. You forget her father was a millionaire as well. He couldn't save his daughter. Who could possibly save my life if anything goes wrong. ?" Said Ramlah and turned her gaze away from Siin.

" Me . I will save you my dear . Any day and any time. " Said Siin in a tone that was quite unnecessary louder than normal.

" This is not a theater. Blades and needles don't apply here. Only understanding and you clearly don't understand . So it's better off you let me be. " Said Ramlah and stood up to take her leave. It was clear to her that Siin didn't find her worthy of being his lifelong companion, thus she felt a need to be away from his space as much as she could .

" You never told me that marriage was a shield that guided you away from problem and forceful intrusion." Said Siin as his gaze kept following Ramlah as she moved from one position to another. Had she not wanted to appear too rude.she would have evaded the living room living Siin alone by himself. Never had Siin experience such a genuine lover turn Soo quickly to a potential hater.

" Well now that you Know. It still hasn't changed anything. Even if my life was at stake . You would remain rigid on your stance. Anyway the time to help is long gone. I Don't need help from anyone. I will let nature dictate and pray for a favourable outcome." Said Ramlah in a tone that was sober.

" Kaltumis case goes deeper than just a sour obsession. She was killed because she spoke against the ills of the top government officials. Be rest assured that you are safe and no one can force you into marriage. I won't stand and watch that happen. All I need is a call from of distress from you if the need arrives." Said Siin in the most seriouss manner.

" Okay Doctor Siin. Thank you very much." Said Ramlah without sparing any second to return his gaze.

" I will have to be on my way. I have a lot of task on my hands to execute." Said Siin and took his leave , feeling unsatisfied with the results of his coming.
