My Passenger Was A "Handphone'.

After sending a passenger to Bangkit Road at 8.45pm last night, I decided to park my cab at the multi-carpark beside the Kim San Leng Coffee Shop to have my 'lunch'. As I was parking my cab, I heard a faint ringing sound, like from a mobile ring tone, coming from behind my seat. I looked around and found an old model Nokia handphone, wedged in between the back seat partition and still ringing. I answered the call and this guy said he was my passenger whom I fetched to Ponggol Central about an hour ago and had left his mobile in my cab. I could still remember him and remarked that he was very lucky in that the next passenger that boarded my cab sat in the front seat so he was not aware of a misplaced mobile handphone or else it would or could have been 'lost'. He said he did not realise that he had lost his mobile till now, I told him where I was, and that I was going to have a bite first and after I had finished, I would drive to meet him at the same place where he got off from my cab and return his mobile.
He was relieved and happy because he needed to call his boss urgently on his private line and his phone number is stored in his mobile. He was at a loss as he did not keep a copy of his boss's mobile phone number anywhere else and had no record of it at all. He told me to switch on my taxi meter and he would pay me the metered fare when we met up as soon as possible.
After having done with my food, I fetched my 'handphone passenger' and headed towards Ponggol Central. When I arrived, the owner of the handphone was already at the agreed location waiting for me. I showed him the metered fare, it cost him $15.40 which he happily paid me. He apologised for causing me the inconvenience but I told him it was alright, my work was not interrupted at all as his handphone was as good as my 'passenger'. We both laughed, wished each other goodnight as I drove off to continue my work.
