Hello, I am Gulbuddin and where are you? Home or school or your place of employment? Or are you on your mobile device, afoot and free to wander at will? I am on my mobile as well, but as another elongated day of victorious commerce has passed I have retreated to my impermanent residence, a spacious rented studio apartment situated high aloft the unforgivable metropolis I am required to call home, Dubai. But don’t worry, since when the sun is not oppressive and the sky not engorged with cloud I trick myself into believing I can can see my true homeland, Afghanistan, and this is what tranquilizes me. Today especially I am tranquil since today we conquered the insecure markets of Europe and the Americas and the East as well due to—may I be frank? I am indebted to my superior in commerce, Gerhardt. (Many thanks, Gerhardt, since I know you monitor my electronic mails!) Without his firm and intolerant counsel, I would not be held in the high regard I enjoy as the Chief Marketing Officer of the Wolfgang Worldwide Corporation and no question about it, I would not be the proud owner of an impressive Signature Villa in the Palm Jumeirah (again, thanks, Gerhardt!) and I would not be in contract to purchase my impermanent residence as well, since I am fond of its amenities, in particular the high-technology kitchen gizmos and the luxury spa, which has an indescribable view of our burgeoning city and the crystalline Gulf and—may I be frank once again? It’s true, we are strangers to each other but already my feelings for you have materialized and I wish you were here so your company could pleaure me, since for the first time since my banishment, I am able to gaze ahead to a future filled with hope and happiness, which I desire to share with a new wife, which will be you.
