A notification on the phone in the car grab driver app Afkar made him pull over the car to read the message, Martapura destination, immediately sent a reply, wait a minute, I will pick up.

Afkar entered an elite housing complex in Banjarbaru kilometer 30. Slowly follow the directions on its application. Point shows he's at his destination, car pulled over. A man over 50 years old came out from behind a fence with a security guard, the man was walking with his hands full, one hand holding an active mobile phone with a phone call, the man said, one carries a package.

The security guard opened the car door and let the man in. The male passenger sat in the back seat and greeted Afkar

" Take me to the address I sent you earlier"

" Good sir"

Afkar runs his car slowly because it is still in the complex, heading out to the big road Ahmad Yani towards Martapura, a religious city where the population is very thick with religious events and activities. Once it was heard that his passengers made phone calls and talked about business, Afkar was used to busy passengers with his phone, and indeed his code of conduct would not listen because it was a secret from his passengers.

The car stopped at one luxury, two-story house with a high fence that was almost the same height as the other floor. The male passenger had not yet disembarked as if he had not realized he had arrived, Afkar just looked back to give a code that this was the point where the delivery location had arrived. The man only regained consciousness after Afkar smiled and nodded at him.

" I'm sorry, I'm busy, don't know if it's there, how much is it?"

Afkar stared at his phone screen

" 65 thousand pa"

The man handed Afkar a 100-thousand note, Afkar greeted him and began opening his wallet to return the rest

" No need to return it, just take it, son, thank you for delivering me"

" I have the change sir for a moment"

Afkar refused subtly

" Just take it I have to get down now"

The car door opened, Afkar immediately thanked him before the man came out

" Thank you sir, I hope you're healthy"

The man turned his head for a while and was still busy with his phone, but still had time to reply Afkar

" Together son"

Tuup.

Car door's closed. Afkar still had time to see the tall white-painted fence open and the old man entered it.

" His busy with his cell phone, the rich with his business"

Afkar turned his car around to go home. It's ten o'clock at night, time to rest, tomorrow morning he will try to take care of the transfer of his lecture with Randi. Hope everything is good.

Before getting out of the car, Afkar made sure that the car was safe and clean, maybe there was the rest of the waste from the passengers, glimpsed by the side bench to the clean floor, then turned on the lights and looked back, what'sthis?.

Afkar got out of the car and entered the back door, a pack of black crackles, Afkar fumbled, like,, a rectangle and boxy. Dare not dare to open, but this is his car, who else has the right to open the passenger goods left behind in his car. Groping once more, his mind began to suspect into one thing, gosh, is this???

Afkar steadied his heart to open with the intention of God alone

" Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim"

And

A hundred thousand dollar bill in a very large amount, Afkar even immediately closed it back with trembling

" Astagfirullah"

His chest was pounding, did this belong to the last passenger who was busy with his phone so that he forgot about this precious item?

Afkar was leaning on the passenger bench, considering the passengers today, since the morning was already crowded, but before the magrib I went home and checked the situation in the car there was no this item, he said, then I left again after the magrib and there were only two passengers, one young woman who said she had just returned from practicum on campus, and the other father earlier.

Afkar believes that this item belongs to the last passenger, glancing at the watch in the hand already at half 11 pm, will I return this tonight or tomorrow morning? but if tomorrow morning, the father will be very anxious because of the loss of money in this very large amount, although I myself do not dare to estimate how much money in this black crackle.

And if tonight will his security guard let me meet him. Had he reported the loss of this money and checked the whereabouts of my car, I could have been accused of not returning it. Afkar got off the passenger seat and got into the car on the driver's seat, I have to return the money tonight as well, I definitely won't be able to sleep with this much money next to me.

Back to the last point of the passenger introduction, finally he decided to return the item in the form of money left behind to the owner. Afkar got down from the car and slowly approached the tall fence. A moment of peeking inward, there was a postman and a security guard.

Afkar knocked on the fence with his car keys. The security guard turned his head and walked towards him without opening the fence and greeting him from behind the fence

" Yes, mas?"

" I'm sorry, can I meet the man I was with?"

Satpam was silent for a moment

" Was the driver who drove Mr. Wijaya earlier?"

Afkar nodded, I don't know what his name was I didn't have time to ask, let alone get acquainted, however only at the end because he was too busy with his phone

" I'm sorry, what's the need?"

" Eemm, there's stuff he left in my car"

" Then you can just leave it to me mas"

Afkar was silent, no I don't want to, this is a valuable item, where can I just leave it

" I have to meet him pa, this is important"

" This hour he has rested pa"

Afkar kept quiet, how do I explain to this security guard huh

" Pa, please help me, if I can't meet maybe I can talk by phone or how, so I can drop this stuff"

The guard then nodded

" A little while, I'm plugging it in"

The security guard then returned to his post and Afkar was still standing outside waiting for news. Not long ago the guard in white hat again approached Afkar and opened the fence

" Please go in"

Afkar nodded and followed the security guard walking into the previous one directly closing the fence back.

The guards led Afkar to the terrace

" Wait here, you'll meet"

Afkar nodded and sat in the waiting chair. For 10 minutes Afkar waited finally who was waiting to appear to meet him. Afkar stood up immediately

" I'm sorry to wait for kid"

" Ooh it's okay sir"

Pa Wijaya reached out

" Vijaya"

" samkur"

" Please sit down"

" Thank you".

Pa Wijaya and Afkar sat on the porch of the mansion.

" What's up?"

" I'm sorry I wanted to ask sir, do you feel like you're missing something and left in my car?"

Pa Wijaya was silent as if remembering something?. Afkar waiting for the answer, sir Wijaya, am I wrong? why doesn't he remember leaving that kind of money behind?

" Eemm, for a minute, I checked first inside, I did bring a package of black crackle from my brother's place, whether the item I brought in or I left in your car"

Pa Wijaya stood will enter the house, while Afkar who heard that Mr. Wijaya called the black crackle package immediately made sure that the findings did belong to pa Wijaya

" I'm sorry sir, don't check, you got stuff in my car"

Pa Wijaya stopped her steps and turned her body

" missed? hahaha, why did I forget about it, ooh I was busy talking to my co-worker"

" I'll get you a minute, sir, excuse me"

Afkar walked quickly to the fence and asked to open the fence to take the package of Wijaya sir. Soon Afkar returned with a black crackle in his hand

" This is my stuff, sorry sir, I opened it because I wanted to know what was left in my car so I could return it to the right person"

" wow, thank you son, thank God there are still many honest people"

Afkar nodded

" No need, with you returning these nights I strongly believe you're an honest man"

Afkar smiled

" I'll excuse you, then pa"

" A minute, what's your name?"

" Afkar sir"

" I want to talk to you for a minute, sit down. You want some coffee?"

Deeg, coffee?? I remember my bidad

" No pa"

" Other drinks?"

" Not bother sir"

" No, can hot tea?

Afkar nodded. Pa Wijaya called out one name

" Acil Niaaah"

Before long a woman in her 40s was out.

" Relig sir".

(yes sir)

" Have two warm teas, and what foods are in the kitchen?"

(Make two warm teas, and what foods are in the kitchen?

" There's a banana cheese pa, it was non Aprill swapping in the face"

(There was a banana cheese pa, earlier non Aprill bought in front)

" Bring it out"

(Get it out)

" Religion pa"

(Yes sir).

No more than 5 minutes the woman called Acil Niah came with a tray containing two glasses of warm tea, and one plate of banana cheese. Acil Niah placed the tray on the table between pa Wijaya and Afkar.

" Please son"

" Thank you sir"

" I am forgetful, I am old. Which person are you? in hearing the accent is not Banjar people"

" Yes, I'm a Jakarta man sir"

" Oh, wander here or join the family?"

" Terrorize sir, I'm alone here"

" Good, I was young, I was Sulawesi, after I graduated from school I went here, and then worked as a regular employee, my boss liked my way of working, sometimes desperate, hahaha"

Afkar smiled, but did not understand at all

" I like adventure, I like challenges, I am often invited by my leaders to join projects, and we always win. I was later appointed assistant manager. And with the capital of courage I began to work on projects outside the office work, I started making small CVs, and more and more and more and more and more Alhamdulillah developed. I quit my job to focus on my CV. Now I have 2 core companies that are here and Tabalong, and some CVs".

Afkar nodded, this time already beginning to understand

" I have two children, one man who holds a company in Tabalong, he has a family and I have 3 cute grandchildren, sometimes they visit me, he said, sometimes I went there with my daughter, Aprill his name, he was 18 years old, was studying at the Faculty of Medicine, Lambung Mangkurat University"

Afkar was still seriously listening to the chat that was all encouraged by Wijaya, he did not have the slightest chance to talk. After being satisfied with the story, Wijaya finally wanted to know who Afkar was.

" If you're why you moved here, son"

Afkar looked down, for six months the story of who he was and why he was here was still kept tight, but I don't know what about this man who was only a few minutes familiar, he said, the story can come out with honesty. About him who worked as an OB in one big mall in Yogyakarta, then received to be an employee of one company in Surabaya for almost three years, and finally have to leave because they want to improve the future and try to forget the past. Being in this city alone and being a driver with a rental car even a rented boarding house.

" So your car's a rental?"

" Yes sir"

" oohs. The drinking water's gone, want to add more?"

" No, ma, thank you. It's 12 o'clock in the evening, excuse me"

Pa Wijaya opened his black crackle package and handed a bundle of money to Afkar, Afkar immediately refused him politely

" I'm sorry sir, I don't appreciate your gift, but from the beginning I just wanted to give this back"

Pa Wijaya shook her head

" It's my thank you sign, you've returned it this evening, it's been amazing for me"

" Once again sir, I apologize. I really did it"

Pa Wijaya fell silent and looked at Afkar

" Afkar, since I talked to you earlier I've been comfortable, you're polite, honest and kind. I'll offer you something"

Afkar stared at the man beside him

" The driver of my trust came back to Sulawesi one month ago, and he will not return because he married, there with his wife to trade. I have not opened registration to be my personal driver, for 1 month I only use online taxi, or occasionally with my child driver. I was old, forgetful as it was, hehehe. To drive myself I am not very brave anymore, I am 58 years old. How about you be my personal driver?"

Afkar was silent, what does that mean? I already have a job

" Look, I could actually appoint anyone to be my personal driver, but I really need an honest person"

Afkar was silent

" The facilities that you will get are for 24 hours of your meal we will bear, you just stay in the kitchen, there are acil Niah and acil Irus which every day is in charge of cleaning the house and cooking. If you want in the back there are 3 rooms, two rooms have been occupied by 2 of our guards, one of which is Rudi"

Pa Wijaya pointed to the security guard who had opened the fence for him.

" The room is separate from this part of the house, so you will be able to freely rest if your time to accompany me is up. I'll also give you permission to leave, or you want to travel, as long as we set the clock. And for the salary, my personal driver yesterday I gave a fixed salary of 5 million per month, while with me for example accompanying me to eat or play golf, all I'm responsible"

Afkar began pounding hearing the facilities he could get if he accepted this offer. I no longer need to pay rent, pay the cost, and think about eating, I will be able to save more every month with this fixed salary.

" For business hours, I leave for the office from 8 am to 5 pm. Saturday week I used to relax, at most I was fishing or visiting my children and grandchildren to Tabalong. Evening I rarely go out again because I am tired, unless there is an invitation from colleagues and relations. If you have a need, please just say, I understand young people, maybe Sunday night want to relax with friends"

Afkar is getting restless. Truly a tempting offer, I used to go to work from 8 am to 10 pm, now the time is shortened to 5 pm, to go out to accompany him the night katanyanjuga rare.

" You are confused right from 8 am to 5 pm what do you do? you come with me in the office, you can rest in any room. But usually my secretary has a schedule the day before, you can ask him before going home to know where I am tomorrow. But it was mandatory to take me to lunch, not to go home, I could eat at any restaurant"

Afkar looked at Pa Wijaya

" How's son? I already have faith in you"

Afkar did not reply, but his nod made pa Wijaya laugh

" Hahaha, alright, you can enter work from the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow take care to return your rental car, clean your clothes to bring here. I'll tell both of my guards that they'll have new friends. Oh yeah there's one more Bang Jali by name, he's my son's driver, he doesn't live here, but his house is only a few meters from here, so whenever Aprill needs it, he needs it, he'll be here soon"

As hypnotized, Afkar nodded back

" Well if you want to rest, I've been talking to you for too long, as a warm-up, because from the day after tomorrow you will always be a good listener for me, hahahhaa"

Afkar finally laughed as well, then extended his hand

" Thank you, excuse me, Assalamualaikum"

"Greetings of Afkar"

Afkar walked to the guard post to ask for the fence to be opened because he was going home. Pa Wijaya stared at the back of Afkar who had now reached his high fence

" You're honest son, I'll try you first as my personal driver, if you make me happy, I'll give you more happiness"

Mr. Wijaya entered the luxury house with his second floor, climbed the stairs and passed through one room whose bedroom door was full of accessories typical of teenage girls. Checking whether the daughter was asleep, locked, meant that Aprill was asleep. Good night, dear boy, have a good dream.
