I woke up because of the cold air coming in from the open sliding door of the balcony.  Earlier I hadn’t even noticed the things that were here.

This room also has a nice balcony.  This room is like an old style bedroom, maybe a good architect designed it and a good engineer made it.

I got up from lying down, it's good that my head doesn't hurt anymore, it's gone maybe because of the pain killer given by Sultana Aleziana.

I just smiled because I can’t really remember the things that happened before I even got into this room, the last thing I just remember is my dream.

I smiled when I remembered that dream, a beautiful dream, but when I remembered that thing I felt like I was guilty.

I looked outside, it was a bit dark and it was getting late, my flight is tomorrow 2am in the morning.  It's so kind of her to book me a flight.

"How are you feeling Mister?".  I immediately looked at the owner of that voice.  And when I saw who she was I immediately bowed to show my respect.

"Good evening My Sultana".  I greeted her politely.

I look at her, she is wearing a very beautiful red dress, her whole body is covered, I can't even see her skin, even her eyes are hidden in hijab.

I am leaving this place unable to accomplish my mission.  I will leave with no money earned, I will leave without holding her portrait.

But it's okay, my decision not to stab the Sultana in the back was the best decision I made.  Because if I were caught in such a crime, I would definitely never be able to go back to Ishmael.

"Good evening to you too Mr. Ferderico. I just came here to ask you if you are okay?".  She asked me with her delicate voice.  I smiled and fix the tie of my suit.

"I think I'm feeling fine now, My Sultana. Thanks for asking".  I said to her.  I saw her nod.

A long silence ensued between the two of us before I spoke.  I think I should thank her for everything.

"I want to thank you for buying all the original copies of my paintings. The money I saved helped a lot because I was able to build my own gallery, I have three Houses for the child programs built in Brazil, I plan to build two more in the philippines. And I can accomplish that because of the buyers ". I said smiling.

I could feel her every move. She walked to the balcony door and she went out there.

The diamonds she was wearing were shining with her full body length dress and the hijab she was wearing, it's just amazing.

"I just found out that you have a love for children.".  She said.

"Yes, because of my personal reason, I had the idea to set up a House for the child Program for homeless children in Brazil. Inside that house, children are learning how to make and produce  an art, basically, that program is for homeless children who love Art. ".  I told her at length.

"Art?".  She asked.  I'm just happy because I think it's the only time I've talked to her like this.  So I was interested in talking to her and listening to what she had to say.

"Yes My Sultana. I build that home for them and I am happy that those children are satisfied".  I replied.

"I'm happy because your reason has a good effect on the kids and you help them. If you need my help with helping them just tell me".  She said.

"I will, thank you in advance".  I muttered.  The breeze is cold at this time, the homes below are also starting to light up, the buildings and vehicles are very nice to watch from up here.
