It was dawn when he started his cell phone to check the time, and it marked 6:10 am on that Monday, July 22, 2019, he looked out the window of that passenger minibus to see what he was already waiting for, the coasts of that island where he once thought he would never return, he took a couple of photos from the window and one of the dark interior of the minibus of just 14 seats, opened his Facebook to upload them with a message that read: Arriving at Sin Island! And without further ado, he shared the publicación Looking forward to receiving feedback from your friends.
His trip was in search of work and a little later, already getting off the minibus he felt disoriented in the bus station, although he had already gone several times and even lived some years in that city located more than 1000 kilometers from his hometown, with only a few bills in his wallet, That man already in his 40s, who had survived a serious personal crisis, which had lasted a little more than 7 years, in which he had lost all his economic belongings, his lifestyle, his home and his family, he only had the pair of old shoes he was wearing, some changes of clothes in his suitcase, a low-end cell phone with a starry screen, a very slow old laptop, many hopes in his heart and the firm conviction that he was going to restart his life, trusting in his luck which he nevertheless considered good; And why not? If his health was formidable And he was fit, in addition to the many years of experience in his trade that he could verify, thanks to the work documents he carried in his backpack.
He took a seat on the bench of a park adjacent to the bus station, thinking about the steps to follow, since he had some references from companies that could hire him, and he activated his cell phone again to locate himself through GPS and when opened his Facebook, he looked with joy at the reactions of his friends wishing him luck in his
adventure, causing him a special smile, the post of a friend greeting him by posting a Forrest Gump gif, greeting him from his fishing boat in a scene from the movie.
Among the publications there were some friend requests that he decided to leave for later, because he could not afford to waste the battery of his cell phone, which took just over 3 hours to download, and in that situation in which he had to decide what to spend the little cash he brought, Because if he paid for a hotel it would only be enough for a couple of nights and if not, because he had to eat badly for at least a week, he could not spend it on taxis and after a few minutes of using the online location systems, he wrote down the routes and his references in a transit book, turning off his cell phone that marked 8:10 am and prepared physically and mentally to walk the more than 5 kilometers, in which were the companies that interested him, and taking his suitcase and backpack, he set out to fulfill his goal that day.
Wearing sneakers, jeans and a shirt without blue buttons, he wore a leather backpack in which he brought his laptop and a small black suitcase with a band, in which barely fit a few changes of clothes, that handsome 45-year-old traveler, more than 6. 10 feets, short dark hair, Athletic body, white complexion and black eyes, went through the entire planned itinerary and a little more, touring that city where he had spent the best years of his life, without getting interviews and just a few data to develop a new search for the next day.
