I Know You Believe Her

Introduction

There was a small gathering at the Milaap office, I was present representing one of my clients,         " We sell Solar Lanterns, Solar Power and Solar LED,” and so here I was standing near the town hall, waiting for them to open up.  Besides me there was just another woman, a strongly built lass this one, and I looked at her once and said to myself,”Maybe she would buy, eh?”

Sailovi was thinking of her business project that she had spoken to Vibheiko about, when she noticed this man standing impatiently at the door, I just nodded at her and could see she was as curious as I was,”You waiting for Milaap,” she asked me point blank.  Well, I was here to sell solar lanterns,”ahhh well, aam am not sure who I am supposed to meet here,” I stuttered.  She took a long breath and walked over to me and showed me the form she had filled up, I gazed at it and saw the project finance had been filled up, what remained was the exact nature of the project.  We got talking and stuttered through another explanation                 as to why I was here, 

“Maybe you could help me, man?” she said and started asking me questions on how a business should be run,”Which business should I get into?”another point blank question shot at me and I had researched Aizawl enough to answer instantly,”Pigery.”

She smiled back, just what she had wanted to hear I assumed, and she quickly scribbled on the form, “PIG FARM”

     

                   “When the lights go down in this city, there is still a place I can go have a drink.”

City Of Freedom

My focus stays with  Sailovi Chenkual and Group,                   as they lead me to the water, oasis there were many here, one particular bar that I had started to favour after a couple of months was the Sertawk Bar just off the Chatlang Bawngkawn Road, I walked in today with a smile on my face and Vibheiko in tow.  There was a large man, about six and half feet tall standing at the entrance, talking to his friends, he was intimidating, Vibheiko asked me to hold back, but I had seen enough of macho upmanship, I just put my head down, chin up and walked straight at him, a boxers pose I had learned from my friends in the army, he saw me coming, this huge bouncer and moved aside instantly.  “I had been down and I have been low but I never give up,”I told Vibheiko once we were inside, 

“This city could be my saviour,” I told him and we started to talk, there was Sailovi sitting with her friends on the other side of the bar room with 4 of her friends, they were chatting animatedly, there was Sarah, Michelle, Stella and Carla, all of them fast friends and they went back at least 10 years.  “There is another debate on the socialism v/s capitalism topic,” I heard Carla tell Sailovi and she was suddenly excited and the chattering began again, there was loud noises from the street as well, the bar was alive as we both ordered a whisky and coke each and started watching a Manchester United v/s Tottenham Hotspur match on the TV.

Sailovi had a Golden Labrador for a pet, and it was really her guide, often enough when she was lost or became too intense with her debates, Mischief, came to her rescue, she was smart and savvy and knew Sailovi’s world well, she had figured out who her friends were and warned her whenever Sailovi was about to make a bad overture.  I knew this family for over a month and enjoyed their company, they knew I was here to Sell Solar      and were equally curious about the project.  Would it fit in well in a pig farm? could it run the grass churner?

Could this be the city of my triumph after all, I just had to manage to sell 2000 systems for this project to go up on the anvils of fame and I was all for fame, socialism suited me just fine, as long as I got this project on the portfolio I would be happy and money, well I could charge my client a nominal amount already worked out with Vibheiko, Sailovi and friends support.
