Hi Man. Fancy meeting you here. Where have you been?
|
Maman
|
Great to see again, An. I’ve been fine. What about you?
|
Anto
|
Good, too. Where do you live
now. I heard that you had moved to Bandung. Are you on holiday now here in
Jakarta?
|
Maman
|
That’s true. I am here
accompanying my wife. She is visiting her relative who is ill.
|
Anto
|
Did you move to Bandung to get promoted?
|
Maman
|
Well, in fact, I resigned and looked for a job in Bandung. My wife’s
uncle runs a small business and I have been accepted there to help him.
|
Anto
|
That’s good. Is there any vacancy there?
|
Maman
|
Are you still jobless?
|
Anto
|
Yes. I’ve been trying hard to get a job here in Jakarta but found
nothing yet that suits my qualification.
|
Maman
|
Keep trying, bro. Hope you'll be successful. Well, I’ve got to be in a hurry now, An. I’ll keep in touch with you again. May I
have your phone number?
