Sakthi

After two Years...


I was in a conference room for a contractor's meeting with my father, brother, and other potential contractors for a construction project at my father's firm. An argument broke out when one of the company representatives stated that the overall material cost would increase for the design I provided for that project. Few had the same opinion, and few objected. The contractors started arguing within themselves, and I sat there observing them. Siva Anna nudged my elbow. "Enna pesama vedika pathutruka ?"

"Vera enna panaunm ?"

"Clarify pannu d ne quote panna material is cost-effective dha nu."

"I already did when I presented the design for this project."

He sighed "sari yaruku contract kudukalam nu ne nenaikira ?"

I looked him in the eye, " Nee dhaney commercial head? Enta en kekura ?"

"Neum one of the board members dhaney? apo sollu."

I smirked while whispering, "The Head of the commercial has the responsibility to give a contract and as a board member, I don't have to decide on every project; I just am responsible for questioning when something goes wrong. Appo neeye decide panniko idhula ilukadha enna. "

"Sari anna va kekuren nee sollu yaruku kudukalam."

I smirked, "Oh ipdi corner panra? ena test panria? "

He gave me a cheeky smile: " Ama en thangachiku nandhaney business solli tharanum. "

"Indha argument ah kelapi vitta CEO ku experience iruku, ana he is not updated on latest developments in this field and Adho andha 2 pudhu prospects irukangala, avangaluku passion and knowledge iruku ana perusa experience ila. So contract ku this CEO plus andha renduperla oruthar ah partnership potuka sollu."

"He gave me a questioning look. "Nee yen avana suggest panra? Enna innum soft corner ah? Iru un purushan ta maati vidren."

I interrupted him before he spoke further: " Dei I checked everyone's past projects and profiles before I came to present my design. Nee yen opinion keta na soliten, inimey un prechana. Enaku thukama varudhu coffee sollu."

"Thoongu ana coffee illa."

"Dei savadichiduven ellam saria poiduchula innum enna."

"Adhuku illa, you will become hyper after having caffeine; un purushan vera oorla illa, so unta evan matrano avana paduthuva, ipodhaiki nandha iruken, so no coffee."

I pinched his elbow and continued to hear the argument. Suddenly the conference room door opened, and my husband walked into the room with a smug grin and stole all our attention. He then gave a once-over to everyone and addressed them, "Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies, Sorry to interrupt your meeting, but I would like to borrow Mrs Sakthi for the rest of the afternoon due to a business emergency. I hope everyone has a good day, and thank you. Please continue with your discussions. I will take my leave shortly."

I bent to give a cheek kiss to my brother and whispered, "Neeye okandhu thungu. Na poren en purushan kuda, tata bye da anna. "

I gave a hug to my father before leaving the meeting. When I was crossing one of the young contractors, he looked at me with a vulnerable emotion, which made me feel bad for him. But my husband drew my attention back to him when he held off my wrist. Once I exited the room, my husband gave me a bear hug and whispered, "I missed you."
