Lost But Found

Back from today’s customer visit, I realized that I don’t have my Nokia 6288 company hand phone with me and probably left it in the taxicab! The first thing that came into my mind was that I will be paying not less than S$200 so that BTMU can re-issue a new one for me. Its going to take that much! All the while, I thought there’s no way I can have my phone back…

But God is just so good! When my colleague tried to dial my number, the driver answered and so I manage to talk to him. He was very willing to return the phone. He advised me to go back from where I alighted and we will meet there in 15 minutes. In return, he is just going to charge me the taxi fare coming back from where he is presently situated so I agreed since it was fair enough.

So then, we met. Immediately, he opened the window and hand over to me the phone. Then I asked him how much was the charge but he quickly said, “No, it’s fine, it’s ok!” and smiled at me. I was shocked! I saw the taxi meter and it was in fact about eight dollars! I can’t believe what I heard so I asked him again, “Are you sure??? “ Then while the car window slowly started to close, he smiled back and waved his hand and said “Bye!” At that moment, it left me with only one option and that is to shout, “Thanks!”

Returning the phone to me is overwhelming but returning it at his expense!?! It's crazy, man!

Mr. X of CityCab with plate number SHA8710G, may God bless you and the works of your hand! I wish more people are like you... (Hey, we need people like him in Philippine Government!)
