Alitta

It was such a bad start of my day this morning! I went to work by skytrain as usual but today had something difference. The skytrain is always crowded during the rush hours and this morning it was extremely packed.

I was the last one standing in a queue waiting for the train and when the train came, I flocked into the crowd and didn’t even realize that I was standing on the train’s doorstep. Suddenly I was hit by the door which was automatically sliding, and I bumped a man standing next to me. And worse, my big black bag, which I was carrying, was squeezed between the two sliding doors! I was a little bit panic but at that time I was not in the right position to pull it back. Before the train took off, the man, whom I bumped, grabbed my bag inside the train and I just noticed that it was HIM!!!!

He looks like Japanese and I’m pretty sure he’s Japanese. I meet him almost every morning on the train and I find him really cute, he looks almost 30 years old though. When he pulled my bag back inside the train, I looked up in order to thank him but when I recognized him, I could only inwardly say thank you. I was terribly embarrassed for what had happened but luckily he got off at a station next to the station I got on.

I couldn’t help telling this to my colleague and to my relief, he gave me a really nice comfort. He said that if the man was really from Japan, he must have used to this kind of thing and didn’t find it embarrassing at all. What if it matters to him and he throws a strange look to me next time we meet?
