Chapter 6.2.3: Maa... eeya (Bah.... its alright)

Day 3~6
Basically there isn't anything much from day 3~6 as nothing is interesting other than I got to know a few high school girls in a train (lolz). Well it all started when I was in the train towards to Nakanojyo, to the shima onsen in the suburbs of Tokyo which is Nagano. I sat on the opposite of both Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle, and got very bored till these group of 5 girls came into the train. They basically chatted, and I kinda listened to their conversation. While they were conversing, I had made eye contact with one of them and I overheard one of them talking about her homestay, she said that she went to Malaysia before for a homestay in Rembau and talking about her experience there. So then I was abit amazed myself, so then the conversation continued, until the train jerked abit and one of them hit onto my luggage, she then said "Gomenasai" and I replied "Daijoubu". Thats when they started to talk about me. One of them said "Ne, ano hito suki nandeshou?" (Hey, you like that guy don't you?), and another said, "Urusai!" (Shut up!). So then her friend told her this "Ne... ano hito ni hanasouyo" (Hey, why don't you talk with that guy?) she then said "Hazukashiiyo!" (Its embarrasing!). So then I smiled abit, then I started talking in english with Uncle Mike asking when is our stop. Then right after that the one who wanted to talk to me said "Aaaa yokkata, ano hito wa nihon-jin jya nainda" (Phiew! That guy isn't japanese), which also means that she felt relieved that she didn't talked to me as she thinks I can't speak japanese and it would've embarrased her to converse with me in japanese. So then I hit them with a question as I didn't had a watch and I asked them what time is it in japanese, they were all shocked, like they've seen a ghost or something (lolz, their expression was hilarious xD). So then one of them quickly took out her phone and told me the time saying "Ano... eto.... ima wa goji-han desu" (Erm... umph.... its 5.30) nervously. So then I replied "Arigatou", she then said "Aaa iie daijoubu desu" (you should see the expression on their face and how nervous they were when I spoke japanese). Then they started to whisper to each other, the one that wanted to talk to me said "Uso! Saki no hanashi kiitanda? Hazukashiiyo" (Crap! He understood what we said earlier? This is embarrasing). So then 5 minutes later, one of them dared herself to talk to me and from that moment on, we started talking and I had fun talking with them. They were somehow amazed that I knew alot of anime and also that I can speak japanese. So one of them said that she visited Malaysia before and I acted as if I didn't heard that before as I feel that it was kinda rude. So she introduced herself in Malay saying "Nama saya Hitomi" (My name is Hitomi). So I was kinda surprised and said "Waaa~ sugoi!" (Wow! Amazing!). Then we chatted and chatted till its time for us to go our different stops. I then said sayounara to them and after that, the whole night I regretted not giving them my contact. So the next day when we went back to the Tokyo, right after that, I told Uncle Mike that I wanna go somewhere. So I went back all the way back to Nagano, yeap... a long 3 hours ride and then purposely met them again. I lied to them saying that I got separated from my cousins and uncles. So then I asked them to show me the way back to the Inn. We then chatted abit and before leaving this time, I gave them my contact that I had prepared while I was in the bullet train to Nagano. Right after I went down the stop, I went to the other side and took another 3 hour ride back to Tokyo. Well... until today, I had no news from them at all. But what was important is that, I did what I wanted to do, at least I will have no regrets till today. Aite thats about it for my trip! Next post will be the continuation of my current life now.
