Remorse

Pacing around the busy roads of Orchard Road, he cannot resist to turn back to look one eye. The moment he turned around, he could see the beraggled woman closely following him. Unable to take it any more, he went into an alley and tears rolled down his eyes. It was something he knew he was unable to escape, as the immense pressure weighed down on him...
Sometime back ago, he was in a pub, drinking away all his worries as he remembered how the boss scolded him due to the lousy presentation that is not up to standard. A few days ago, he was still dreaming about a comfortable life. Now, he was very depressed, worrying about the presentation he made earlier and was blaming himself why he spent little time on that big project. Receiving the call of his boss, his heart was thumping madly. Will he succeed?
After a moment of thoughts whirling in his mind, he picked up his call. With an elated look on his face, he left the pub and headed for the new sports cars showroom. With five million wired into his bank, which car should he choose? After pondering for a while, he went for the newly launched model of Ferrari, the 575 M Superamerica and went speeding around the new built highway. Fully mastering his sports car, he went accelerating around the streets. However, due to his negligence, he went speeding into a couple. The man, protecting his girlfriend, pushed her aside and blood splashed on his car. Unable to part with his money for that man's death, he sped off. However, the woman took notice of his car plate and swore to take revenge. Deciding not calling the police, she followed the man wherever he went to fill him with guilt.
The man finally realised one thing: he have to pay, and must pay for the death he caused. After his realisation, he walked to the bank and withdrew falf of his wealth and presented it to the woman. Satisfied, she left him and that moment, he felt the relief and the release of his guilt. Money is not all that matters.It was an important lesson learnt by him.
