I was doing business studies so, I was thinking to start a business of importing computers and its components, also some electrical machines which have a great demand in Maldives. I called my dad and talked to him about my idea. He also supported my idea and told it will be excellent if I started it as a company.
After my studies in London, I took three weeks rest and in those days I enjoyed with my friends there. One day my father called me and told that he had done every thing he could do to start my business, though I had not asked so.
I left London on 20th March. My father received me at the airport. Before going to Hulhumale’ I asked him about Reesham, but the answer was same as which I have heard hundreds of times in the past two years...... He still didn't know any thing about Reesham.
With in three weeks I started my business, I opened a shop in Hulhumale’, also had a separate office to manage all the work. My father helped me a lot in my business; my staff too. Therefore I believed that it’s not only my work but our company’s work. After a year I got the idea of keeping our agents in different atolls, so it will be easy to provide services to our customers in atolls also we will get more customers. I talked about it with my staffs and dad, they also thought that it will be a great step and will forward our business further.
As we thought of it, first we searched for an agent in Fuvahmulah because we found that the island is advanced in technology also we found that if we keep a agent in Fuvahmulah other three southern atolls, Seenu, Gaafu Dhaalu and Gaafu Alifu atoll could be controlled.
I planned to go to Fuvahmulah my self and to find an agent, so I went Fuvahmulah and I asked a helping hand from a friend of my father. He helped me very well; I got an agent who was very interested in it. After finishing all my work in Fuvahmulah, I took him to Hulhumale’ to meet the other staff of the company and also to train him. In our project of finding agents from atolls; after finding an agent from south, we planned to find an agent from north. So after training our first agent we looked for the best northern atoll to choose an agent. As we thought to find an agent from the second atoll from north, the Haa, Dhaalu atoll, my father told that he had a friend there, who was the atoll chief of that atoll, and also dad told that his son of my age may take the responsibility.When father told it, all the staff told that it will be better if I went and talk to the boy, and also, I could bring him for training as we did previously. So I went to that atoll and met the atoll chief and his friendly son. With in two days Muaaz, the son of atoll chief agreed to be the agent. Even though I finished my work in that island I wanted to take a small rest in the beautiful environment of the island.I was not alone, Muaaz was a good friend more than an agent. We enjoyed very much those days I saw a girl who was very special to me. When I see her I get the feelings that I had seen a family member after several years... I was sure that I had no family member alive other than my old father.
