Dr. Aijohn's voice sounded hoarse when he first spoke into the microphone. He was fighting with the urge to cry as this long awaited day finally came. He recalled all the struggles and exhaustions. The many failures in which each of those was his another platform to push forward. He was a strongly determined person. Whatever he started should be completed, whether a success or a failure.
He recalled Hailey, their friendship, and their mutual dedication to this project. It was so sad to think that she could no longer witness the fruit of her labor. She could no longer see the realization of her ultimate dream for him to be recognized by the world. In fact, it was she who discovered that plant though the rest of the process were both their concerted effort.
He thought of the many painful things before it was launched. The loss of Hailey, the death of their driver who served the company from the day it was inaugurated and the injuries of their dedicated farmers.
