Every Cloud Has Silver Lining (Part 2)

What could I do? Blaming and condemning? Did those two things are able to relieve my sorrow? Of course they would not help anything, wouldn't they? Don't beat yourself with the stick! that was one phrase that my cross culture  teacher used to say. Get helps, find another alternatives and solutions! Look at from the big picture! Do not be hopeless, do not be frustrated! Every cloud has a silver lining! Be positive the you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. Your story might not have such a happy beginning, but it did not mean you could not find something sweet at the end. It was your choice for the rest of your story.  I was pleased to close this story with happy ending which I mean t that I had to be sincere and candid due to this difficult and sorrow time. I remembered Allah saying through the holy Qur'an that "perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you and you love a thing and it is bad for you, Allah knows while you know not" (Al-Baqarah : 216). In this case, I did believe in Allah.

Having said that I lost my chance to get an inexpensive text book, I kept looking for that book due its importance. I had to be sincere if I had to spend a lot for that academic stuff. I had been ready to look at a brand new book which might cost for US$ 311.33 and if I was lucky I could get the book on that price without an extra cost such as shipping and so on. It did not take me a lot of time to be awaken after that such unhappiness. Having realised that I was out of bid, I directly started to find another  that might likely for a brand new one. Before doing so, I simply looked at once again to the most lovely Australian website; Gumtree and wished that miracle might come up to that adorable website.

Thank goodness because there were other two posts  regarding the books towards the website. The first post offering for 55 AUD while the other for 10 AUD. It seemed that the latter was not  so reliable due to its extraordinary cheap price, therefore I put the choice aside and concerned on the former one. I had learned from my classmate that it was essential to be an early bird. Without wasting more time, I called the seller immediately. His response was good but a bit make me disappointed. He said that in five minutes ahead there would someone to pick up the book. In other words, he had just make a deal. Even though it seemed a little unreliable for the second ad, I just tried once again. Who knows that you might found something that you can trust in from the very unreliable one. I tried to call the seller of the second post but somehow I could not reach him due to the voice mail setting. As I said, it might not be a very promising advertisement. I tried to reach him through whatsapp application but was not successful because he was not online at the time. Again, I felt hopeless, I had just lost another chance due to the internet connection problem. Waiting for a while, I was starting to look at  a brand new book. However, I felt anxious for waiting whatsapp response. I did my last trial, to text him through sms, once writing the text, the response through whatsapp came. I read the message carefully and wishing for the victory. Lucky me, that the item was still available and simply i made a deal straight. A like new book had been purchased for only 10 AUD. Thank you God, thank you Gumtree.
This book costed 10 bucks only!
