Finding a Wallet

I've been waiting for a work call for several months. It feels like my heart is confused without direction. My job is just hanging around at home. I'm confused what to do. Want to venture but don't have capital. One day, I intend to meet my friends, just share about my problem.

When the road to my friend's house, beside the road a little bit from the sidewalk, I saw a black wallet. I approached the wallet, I opened it, and I saw the contents. KTP, SIM A, several important letters, savings with fantastic contents, and a credit card. In my mind a voice appeared so I could use the contents in the wallet.

But no, I have to return this wallet to the owner. How long after I got home from my friend's house, I returned the wallet. With an address on the KTP, I found his house in an elite housing estate near the Grand Palace hotel. I pressed the bell and then opened it to the gardener who worked in the house.

"Excuse me, Sir. Is this really Pak Budi's address? "

"Yes, true. Who are you, huh? "Asked the gardener.

"I am Adi, I want to meet with Mr. Budi. There are important matters. "

"Well, please come in, coincidentally, the father is inside," Ask the gardener.

I entered shyly into the magnificent house of the owner of the wallet I found.

"What is wrong? Who are you? "Asked the owner of the house to me.

"I am Adi, sir. Sorry in advance, I found your wallet on the sidewalk near the hotel. "

"Oh, please sit down, son!"

I sat near him and handed over the wallet I found.

"Where do you live, son? And where do you work? "He asked curiously.

"In the Asri Cempaka complex, sir. I am still unemployed for months applying but have not received a call. "I added.

"What are you a scholar?"
"Management Economics, sir." I replied.

"Okay alright, kid. At your company, you need administrative staff. Maybe if you are interested you can go to my office tomorrow morning at 9. This is my name card. "Connect Mr. Adi as he handed me his card.

"Really, sir?"

"Yeah, kid. I need dedicated and honest employees like you. "

"Thank you very much, sir." I say I don't believe, this is like a miracle.
