Old Memories of Chamary

Old memories

When the five years of Mahiyangana ended, only me, Disa and Namalu were left in the chamari...By 2009-10, instead of boys coming to be chamari, more girls came from the south...Mr. Sumith and Mr. Dias retired...

My mother had a heart attack, so I was helpless. My sister is twelve years younger than me. Where was he at school during the day?

The regional manager at that time was a Muslim.. very strict… gets angry quickly.. gives loud instructions.. just talks and scolds… everyone says that the transfer is important and that the zonal manager will fix it…

I don't even want to come from Mahiyangana.. but I have to go to Kandy due to my mother’s illness..

I took a leave and went to Kandy.. I went to the zonal office with a heavy heart.. My stomach was rumbling.. I took all my mother's reports and went upstairs alone.. My legs were shaking, my lips were dry, my chest was pounding.. I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach… I was sweating in front of the boss's cubicle..

They saw me in the office but they were too bossy. Are you afraid because you work with your head bowed? Sir raised his head, put on his glasses, and nodded for me to come in. I went inside. My dear, branch.. is it a request? Why? He asked in a harsh voice. I tried to start the conversation by saying "Sir", but my voice did not come out..

I quickly said, "Aishe, I have work to do." That time, I was angry because I disturbed you.. I expressed my grievances with all my might...

The boss took the two glasses and put them on the table and looked at me..

He asked me if I had eaten breakfast...

I said yes, sir.

The boss took the diary and wrote something..

He told me to go...

I went home thinking it was a bad holiday...

*******

After a month, I got transferred to the Mulgampala branch.. I was transferred on the basis of completing five years in one service.. The work became easier because I was recommended to a friend...

When I went to Mulgampala, that branch had become an independent branch for two weeks, until then it had been operating as a service branch of the Kandy branch..

The boss is just like a dark secret. A fight... The second Samare man is a funny character.. Even if the ship sinks, he's a banker.. He wouldn't have had another sister in this world or the next.. The staff consisted of two brothers, Sandaya and Venus. They gave me a long duty list with mortgages, housing and personal loans, report processing, back office, disease, ATM, etc. That sister Cash

is very happy…

She goes to the branch at eight in the morning and comes home at six at the same time as the bus on the Peradeniya road, even the tortoise and the snail are running fast..

If a little girl gets on the bus in Panideniya, she can hand over that much pasta to the school at the Galaha junction..

When did she eat and drink until three, get up at six, go to the bank at eight, and tie a piece of bread with her daughter. I got up at five, cooked with my father, cooked rice, and went to the city on foot to Mulgampala before eight on the Panideniya bus. It was a big hassle at first.. She finished her work in the evening and came home at about eight at night..

She worked at the bank's four corners, prepared the first loan file and the first report file at the branch, and after a few days, she set off for the branch. It happened..

Bosa doesn't talk much.. That's his way.. He's not ready to listen to anything anyone says.. He's a smart and educated person, but whatever he says is right.. The other two in the branch adjusted to it... But I'm not like that, I'm confused..

Bosa knows that I'm like that.. We didn't clash much, we both had a little bitterness in our hearts..

One day, at around four in the evening, everyone finished their work and that sister went off at four forty-five. I was making some loan files... Samare came to me and asked me

"Do you drink, brother?"

"If you drink, let's drink," I said.

I didn't feel like hitting him hard that day.... Because my mouth is not good, I can't even tell the truth when I'm drunk.. I don't know, this group is with a group that hasn't drunk. That's why I bought the "Singaya Rika Sakthimath" one..

Bosa drinks lemon gin, but Samare's milk is okay.. There is no brand for anything..

Bosa takes vegetarian things like apple and vegetable roti for a bite.. There was salmon in a vegetable roti, but in those days, the fish was removed from the vegetable roti and the roti was taken for a bite...

Samare's husband, who had two, started saying "You son of Kashyapa who asks for wealth".. He said it with so much childish affection, when he looked at the other side, all five fingers of his chest were standing on end...

From that day on, the four of us got together from time to time

The power of alcohol is that friends, the bitter gin that was in our hearts, went straight to the point of being addicted to it...
