MY WIFE IS A GHOST
10 MILLION MONEY
“Sorry, Mom. But if my dad comes here, can you tell me and tell him I don't work here??” Adrian is talking to his new boss and old friend five years ago who was once a courier now a supervisor for the delivery company.
“Quiet aja, Adrian. I know what I should do if your father manages to track you down again.”
Adrian looked at his friend: Agung who is now quite established with his life and has a family that is quite harmonious. “One more time thanks, Mas Agung. I'm really grateful.”
“This you!!” Patting Adrian on the shoulder. “Don't say that!! It was ... You always helped me! Now it's time for me to help you!! I just hope your dad wakes up quickly!”
“Ya, Mas.” Adrian nodded his head even though in his heart said that maybe his father would never be conscious.
Broom!
“Package!”
As a week before, Adrian began delivering packages to the destination address. One house, two houses, three houses up to fifty houses. Yaw, kaak! Today is more blistering than ever. The heat of the sun is so stinging that it makes the esophagus feel so dry that no matter how much water Adrian drinks will be able to make his throat feel fresh.
Hosh, yosh!
Midday after dropping off half of his delivery target, Adrian sat down at the minimarket after buying a cold drink and prepared for lunch with the provisions he made this morning.
Nyam, nyam. Adrian ate voraciously even though his lunch today was just rice with fried tempeh which was hammered with onion sambal. Adrian eats his lunch quickly and intends to finish his target soon today while looking for a better job.
Buk up!
The sound of the falling object made Adrian who had eaten greedily and did not see the surrounding situation, interested. Whatisit?? Adrian narrowed his eyes to see a brown object that was not far from where he was sitting. Is that an envelope? And again the size is thick once?? What'sthat's it?
Sreet. Adrian pushed his chair, got up from his seat and walked closer towards the brown envelope with a red rope tied around the outside that caught his attention. Is this money?? Before taking the thick envelope, Adrian turned to the right and left to make sure the owner would probably notice that the envelope might have fallen.
No one's coming back. But after looking to the right and left twice, Adrian did not find anyone who approached him. Maybe the owner doesn't know if the envelope fell. I'll just look at the contents and return them later. Sets. Adrian decides to take the envelope and return to his seat.
Really money!! Adrian, who opened the envelope to confirm the contents, was really surprised to find that the contents really were one hundred thousand dollars in large quantities. One, two, three .. Adrian began counting one after another hundred thousand pieces of money in it and found there were a hundred hundred hundred thousand pieces of money in it. This is really jakpot!!
Adrian was delighted to have found the money. That ten million was the same as his two-month salary while working at the company where he had worked before. Did God send this money to me?? Adrian stared at the envelope with sparkling eyes as the money just fell right in front of his eyes. I'm really lucky today!
Finding a wad of money that became his salary for two months, Adrian who had felt very tired due to the scorching sun that stung back excited. Nyam, nyam! Adrian devours his humble lunch in spirit and hopes to soon finish his work today to meet his mother.
Broom!!
“Package!”
In the afternoon.
Once Adrian finished his work, Adrian immediately visited the hospital where his mother was treated. Before seeing his mother, Adrian stopped by the Administration section and intended to pay a faster bill for his mother's care for this month.
“Mbak, I want to pay the bill for Asri.”
“Shortly yes, Mas.”
While waiting for the administration to check the bill for Adrian's mother, Adrian checked the money from the envelope he had found this afternoon. But as soon as he took the money out of the envelope, Adrian found a business card. Adrian took the business card and checked the name and address written in the business card.
As soon as he saw the name of the owner of the money he found, Adrian's hand trembled slightly. Damnit damnit!! Why did I see this business card?
“Mas, the total bill for Asri Mother this month is two million five hundred and fifty thousand. Want to be paid in cash or use a card, Mas??”
Do I have to use this money?? Maybe .. The owner of this money out there is struggling just like me. What if he took this money out of sudden necessity and got stuck just like me??
“Mas??”
“Sorry, Ma'am. I'll pay him like his schedule only.”
Adrian paused his intention to use the money he found. Because his mind is still straight-minded in this era, Adrian is a little annoyed with his self that is full of consideration and feelings when everyone will definitely use the money in Adrian's hands at this time.
Damnit damnit!! Adrian cursed to himself when he saw himself so straight. This instinct!! Why don't you ever think about taking the easy way to make money once???

Next day.
After a night of not being able to sleep because of the money he found, Adrian finally decided to come to the address written in the business card with the intention to return the money. But as soon as he arrived at the address and saw how the house looked, Adrian felt a bit regretful about his decision not to use the money yesterday.
Damnit damnit!! His house is like a palace! Just look at the gate!! It was about three meters tall just like the height of my house right now!! Adrian, who had deeply regretted his decision, could only gulp his saliva as he pressed the doorbell of the house and waited for the big gate in front of him to open.
“Who?” The security guard, not far from the gate, came and opened a small gate for Adrian.
“I'm looking for Felicia. Yesterday I found the money falling on the road.”
“Nona Felicia?”
“Ya, Sir.” Adrian opens the brown envelope in his hand and takes out a business card that takes him to this address.
“Wait a minute!”
I don't know what happened, but Adrian saw the security guard seemed to be contacting the owner of the house inside the house. Adrian thinks the security guard will take a long time because Adrian is just a stranger who accidentally found the money, but Adrian's guess is wrong. The security guard returned quickly and immediately invited Adrian to enter.
“Please enter, Mas.” Adrian is welcome in. “Street go in there, Mas. Later Tuan will meet Mas there.”
“Good, Sir. Thank you very much.”
Glupes. Adrian walks into a magnificent house that looks like a palace in his eyes. The huft! Adrian took a deep breath looking at this splendor through his eyes. Benak Adrian spoke to Adrian when he saw some luxury cars lined up next to the house. If ... I had this kind of money, maybe I wouldn't feel this tired with my life! If I had this kind of money, I might not be too worried about my mother.
