"With this project, everything will become easier for everybody," I said while giving a speech in front of the developers, engineers, architects, investors, and the residents of this community that my company is going to renovate.
"Progress, and innovation will be in you hand. We promise you, we'll make this place a better place" I exclaimed.
Most of the people are just watching me as I speak on the platform.
They listen to all the details as I tackle the plans we have for this land.
"Thank you all for your great cooperation and support, and for being a part of this progress," I said as I ended my speech and the event.
I walk down the stage and head directly to my assistant.
"Good speech sir," she said, and handed me my phone and Ipad with my next schedule.
"Thank you," I just said and browsed on my phone.
"Some of the residents seem convinced, but there's still this group of farmers that's still protesting," she said as we entered the car.
"The company," She said to the driver.
"I don't understand why they keep protesting, we promised them a new home in the city, and don't they like to leave this countryside?" I answered while still browsing on my iPad, checking some updates for other projects we're developing.
"Yes, that's what I also thought, don't they like progress?" She said, emphasizing the progress.
I looked at the car window, and it was already getting dark.The Sun is already setting.
The sunset is so beautiful, I said to myself.
I watch the birds flying around the crops.
"Yes, Progress, that's what really important" I answered while still watching the outside view.
Progress is what we really need.
I don't want to go back to that life.
Where I don't exactly know what I'm doing
and
Who I am in this world.I don't want to be there,
In a place where I was hopeless.
I don't want to feel that emptiness within me again.
This life is much better.
Yes, some people might despise me because of what I am doing right now,
But I think it's better than despising myself because I chose to stay in a place that I'm not moving forward and because I've been a coward on taking risks, and big decisions.
While we're traveling across the field, Something caught my eye.
A woman is standing beside the rocky road, staring at the car;
As we pass her.
I saw her looking directly at me while smiling.
She seems familiar,
I'm sure I've seen her before.
"Stop!" I suddenly said.
The driver stepped on the break that made us almost bummed ourselves because of the impact,
Good thing we're wearing a seatbelt.
We hadn't gone far when an urge to instruct the driver to go back got into me.
"Please go back where the woman in the road is"
The driver made a U-turn and did what exactly I said.
