Give Me Your Hand's

Announcement of Spring Fashion Tender Winners This Year

The pair of high-heeled boots stepped forward with complete confidence. The light of the corridor light swept across his oval-shaped face. Ivy opened the meeting room door with a single bang. Put the clothes belonging to the Kozan Company just like that next to Ferrite. Without saying a word, the woman sat back in her chair. He did not have the courage to look at Kenan's face or talk to the man.

After the turn of the representative of the Japanese State has finished giving a presentation of its design, now it is the turn of the Company Falea.

“Please, Mr. Fallay to come forward to present his company and its design.” The woman's manager called Kenan and prepared a microphone for the man.

Kenan stood up and took the microphone out of the manager's hand. First he looked at Ivy's face then turned to everyone in the room. But his eyes began to piqued, when he saw Ferrite who continued to look at Ivy. He rubbed his face violently, to restore his concentration and calmness of heart.

“Good day to all present in this room. Previously I would like to thank the Mandellion Company for inviting Falaea to attend the second stage selection event. An honor to Falaea, who is a new company in Turkey.”

“Falea stands solely on the five years of experience I have to build the same business under the banner of Fallay Company. Maybe there are some of you who have heard of the Fallay Company that once ruled the European fashion market?” ask Kenan.

He wanted to reduce his current sense of tension by asking everyone questions.

“Yes..ya…. I've heard of Fallay. The company has been around for a long time,” said a representative from the Italian Company. A black-haired man with a slightly fat body.

“Oh fast…. Ever since you walked into this room, it seems like I've seen you, Mr. Fallay. I think a few years ago, we had a partnership,” said a representative from the Brazilian Company. A blonde-haired man with his latin accent.

The face of President Mandellion also smiled as he heard the words of Kenan and the other participants. In another corner, Ferrite only smiled wryly upon hearing the prickly shoes of everyone talking about the Fallay Company. It turned out that his opponent was no ordinary mechanic.

“Next for the design problem, I leave it to the Falaea designer to explain the design. Please Miss Eleanor,” call Kenan.

Ivy immediately moved out of his chair as soon as he heard his name on the call. He felt Kenan's hand grip touch his palm as they passed by. The little touch made his heart a little relieved, even though it was not a smile, a word or a kiss that the man often gave him.

A picture of the clothes was displayed on the projector screen when the lights of the room began to be extinguished. They looked at the results of the Ivy plan chosen by Mandellion.

Victor's daughter explained the floral details she used in her design. The details he combined with denim jeans and plain fabric material that resulted in a street style design. Kenan gives an example of the fabric that his company will use for the design of Ivy design. The example of the cloth was spinning, starting from the President's table until it returned to him.

“Denim jeans will never die. This trend will not run out even though spring has ended all over the world!” exclaim Ivy with his design statement to everyone.

Everyone was amazed to hear Ivy's explanation. The woman is a talented young designer, only many people do not know the talent of diamonds. Luck is not always on his side.

Ivy closed his design presentation by showing a video of his fashion show when he was still a designer at Sarte Company and Fallea Company video. The sound of applause broke out after Ivy ended her presentation.

“Good, thank you for the amazing presentation of all the representatives. We will rest about ten minutes to wait for the final decision result of the winner of the tender which has been held by Mandellion Company,”, said the woman manager took over the event.

The three Mandellion representatives walked out of the meeting room, they walked towards the seventh floor. The President's office. There have been waiting for five people they Board of Commissioners Mandellion who have since witnessed the event through CCTV footage. While in the meeting room, no one was allowed to leave the room before the announcement came out.

Mandellion officials open one by one envelope containing a price quote letter that has been made by each participant. Various rows of numbers in Euros are written on each paper. The price of their offer seems to be chasing each other, between one company and another company.

"I think we've found the winner of the tender. He provides economic prices with the best quality" said one of the five Board of Commissioners.

"No, I think it's the right company to work on this project. Even though the price given is a little more expensive. The design design is simple but interesting" said the President who gave his input.

Debate ensued among the Mandellion officials. Until finally in the vote the most votes to determine who came out as the winner.

Ten minutes passed. The female manager asked for the results of the Mandellion officials' decision.

"This is our decision" said one of the female Board of Commissioners whose age is not young. He gave the manager a brown envelope.

Everyone's faces looked tense, none of them looked relaxed. Kenan and Ivy fell silent, none of them opened the conversation. Likewise with Ferrite, the man looks a little tame and does not bother Ivy. The silent atmosphere solemnly felt in this room.

The door of the room opens. All heads were raised straight up. They likened his gaze to the Mandellion representative who had just entered the meeting room. The male president and manager took back his seat, while the female manager took over the event.

“Thanks for your willingness to wait for the outcome of this meeting. We hope that companies that are not selected are not discouraged. We can meet again at the next cooperation which will be held by Mandellion every year.”

“Nearly three hours we're all in this room. We have weighed and assessed the five companies that are participants in the tender today, starting from the design, credibility of the company and the price of the offer that you have provided. For that reason, every decision that has been taken by the President and the Board of Commissioners of Mandellion cannot be contested.”

“Tiba is the time we are at the end of the event. L am…. Aurora Nechez, representing Mandellion Company will announce the name of the company that successfully obtained the highest value. The winner of this year's Fashion Spring tender was won by..”.

Some people seem to be holding their breath. Only the sound of the clockwork seconds of the wall moving in rhythm. There was not a single body movement they made. It was as if the time in the room had stopped for a few moments.

Ferrite and Ivy are seen bowing their heads. Victor's daughter clenched her palms together in front of her chest as her lips twitched as if she were praying a prayer.

Kenan is seen leaning his head back on the back of the chair. The son of Aaron closed his eyes waiting for the moment of his victory or defeat.

“Cozan Company!” exclaimed the manager who immediately made Ferrit straighten his head and clench his palm. It's like he's cracking YES! through her body's gestures.

The two drops of tears immediately flowed soaked Ivy's face as Kozan's name was mentioned. He looks shocked.

Aaron's son opened his eyelids. He took a deep breath and thought it was over.

Everyone stood up except for Kenan and Ivy who still did not move from their seats. The men gave their applause to Ferit when the leader of the Kozan Company walked forward to the President while puffing his chest. He saw the aura of defeat on Kenan's face.

“Congratulations to you, Mr. Kozan,” said President Mandellion. The two men shook hands witnessed by everyone in the room.

“You can sign the cooperation letter from tomorrow, Mr. Kozan,” said the bespectacled man manager who also gave his congratulations to Ferrit.

“I'll wait for that, Mr.”

One by one the bidders congratulated Ferit, then left the meeting room. Although deep down, they were disappointed.

Now only three human figures are left to bring their personal conflicts from Istanbul to Paris. Kenan, Ivy and Ferrite.

“Well...well... don't you want to congratulate me? Accept your defeat! You will never win from me forever!” ferrite's lips that saw Kenan and Ivy were about to leave their seats.

Today I have successfully seized the business of Falaea. I'll also take back my Ivy!

The son of Aaron stared intently from where he stood. He clenched his two hardened jaws. Without answering Ferit's question, he chose to leave the room followed by Ivy who followed in his footsteps.

“Wait!” ferrite exclaimed which made Kenan and Ivy stop their steps that had not yet reached the door.

“I heard that Falaea is a company that has only been established for one month. This is definitely the first project you would expect. I could have let go of this project, because I have not signed a cooperation agreement with Mandellion,” Ferit chatted at length.

“Say what you want?” Kenan immediately turned his body to face Ferrite. Those dark gray eye beads already looked shiny. Their distance was only about ten feet of an adult.

Ferrite further narrowed the distance between himself and Kenan. Just when that distance was only one step left he said, “Deliver Ivy to me! Then I will give this cooperation contract to Falea!”

A Kenan punch directly landed on Ferit's face. That was the answer Aaron's son gave. The man who had just been silent to hold back his anger now began to get inflamed and vent all his anger on Ferit.

He clutched the collar of Ferrite's shirt and dropped the burly man to the floor. The scene unfolded so quickly, that Ivy was unable to break them up.

“Don't dream! Forever I'll never trade Ivy for anything! YOU heard that, motherfucker!” yelled Kenan in his Turkish.

He clutched back the collar of Ferrit's shirt then banged the man's head against the floor.

“Let's go from here!” he shouted at Ivy.
