Here and there, Mutu seek for a job to support his family. He was an engineer, before he was kicked out due to economic downturn last month. Every morning, he went for an interview. Although he was graduated from Nanyang Technological University, but most of the companies was suffering economic downturn. Fortunately, he had been saving his salaries from time to time and could use during their runny days. But still, it will not last long.

On one morning, Mutu open his wallet that was kept a long time in a bag. A piece of card falls of. Mutu picked it up and recognized that it was his bus lessens. He remembered he had his bus lessen a few months after he was given a mini bus from his family on his birthday. He sold it away after an accident accrues by his father while driving his car.

"Why I didn't remember that I had a bus lessen? The last time, I didn't even have a change to drive the bus. With this lessen, I could become a bus driver and earn some money," said Mutu excitedly. He quickly went to his driving school to renew his lessen.

After a few training, he managed to become a bus driver for primary school children. Everyday he had to fetch them from their home to Bukit Panjang Primary School. Although it was a difficult job, but it was the only way for him to earn money for the moment. He will change his job when there is a better opportunity in front him.

"Children, don't be in rush! All of you could get up when the bus stop. It is very dangerous. You may injure yourselves!" said Mutu when he nearly reached the school.

As usual, Mutu will count the students before he starts his journey. Everyone was there when he called their names. But, without noticing, he actually left a boy, Jason at the school. After a few minutes, one his classmate relies that Jason was not there and told Mutu.

Mutu stop the bus at the shoulder and asked how Jason could not here? Everyone kept quite. When he knew that nothing will change if he keeps scolding the children.

While he was driving back to school, he wondered if really Jason was not there, then, who said "here" jut now? He kept thinking about it and knocked a woman down. Luckily the woman did not injured badly. But still, he had to give the woman money to see the doctor.

When he reached the school, he saw Jason was sitting in the canteen with some tears on his eyes. He came close and apologize for left him alone in the school. Mutu told him everything that had happened, but not the accident. He told mutu that maybe his friends wanted to play around. He said told Mutu not to find the person.

The next few days, Mutu was invited to return to his previous work. His boss told that he was needed in the company. It was an honor for him to be back to his job. But, at the same time, he started to lover his current job. He loved to be with the kids. He loved his childhood time. Every time he looked at them, the memories will come. It was a difficult decision for him to make a choice.

After some advice from his family and friends, he decided to stay with his job. He did not care about the low pay. The most important thing was that he was happy with what he was doing.
