I work at the head office of my company which is in Tokyo. But there are another few offices which are scattered nearby, where lot of my friends work - the Sri Lankan ones, I meant. And some of them live nearby my apartment as well.
This morning, one of the Japs comes to me.
Then I goes back to work and forgets all about it.
The Jap comes back in couple of hours.
WTF, was my first thought. But of course I didn't say it. Instead;
Honestly, it didn't even occur to me that I should ask her whether she could deliver it. But then again, why would I? I just know that she would never refuse, besides just asking someone for a favor - out of the blue - is our way, isn't it? Poor Japs, they don't really know what it is like to be Sri Lankan.
But I sent her a text anyway.

Sach, some of your friends who work at that office live nearby you?
Umm... yeah. There's M.
I need to send a parcel there tomorrow, will she be OK?
Yeah, I guess so.

Did you ask her about it?
Ask what?
Well, if she could take that parcel to the office?
WTF, was my first thought. But of course I didn't say it. Instead;
Oh, no not yet. Since she might be busy I thought of asking her during the lunch hour.
Alright. Thanks a lot.
