As a sentence it means - I was only gone for a short while.
As a saying - it means - How did you get yourself in this mess while I was just gone for a while.
Example - A mother leaves her kids playing in the living room while she cooks lunch. She comes back 30 minutes latter and the room is a mess. She cries in despair "How did you do this? I was only gone for a minute!!!"
As a saying it does not indicate an amount of time, but an amount of anger or disbelief.

Sadece iki dakika yoktum. Sadece iki dakika ayrılmıştım. Sadece iki dakika uzaklaşmıştım.
İşten, baktığınız bir yerden vb.
