”I am very sorry,” I said to the waitress.
It was Wednesday noon and I had ordered the most expensive lunch in a sushi restaurant. While watching the chef handcrafted the sushi, I stretched my hand into my A4-size tote bag. I could not grub my wallet, so I opened the bag to thoroughly inspect inside the bag. It’s not there! I must have forgot it at home.
I checked the website of the restaurant for their electronic payment options. Unfortunately , the only electronic payment on my phone was not supported.
Then, my meal was served.
”Well, forget it, “ I thought.
I enjoyed the finest lunch after returning from a countryside, rehearsed the upcoming conversation in Japanese in my head many times, and waited for the moment when the waitress was free. I explained that I forgot my wallet at home, my place was near, I could deposit my mobile phone and come back in 15 minutes.
