Vacation to Surabaya

Last holiday, I went to Surabaya with my friend for vacation. We

went there on a night bus.
When we arrived in Lamongan, the bus stopped at a small
restaurant for a rest. I got off the bus to get a cup of ginger tea, and my
friend drank some cold lemonade. Then, I went to the toilet. It took only a
few minutes.
When I came out again, the bus was not there. It had gone! My
friend was not there too. Feeling shocked and confused, I asked a waitress
about the bus. She said that the bus departed about five minutes ago.
I tried to call my friend on my cell-phone, but the battery was
running low.
I could not do anything but hope and pray. After several minutes,
my wish came true. The bus came back! I got on the bus and walked to my
seat.
I was so ashamed when everybody on the bus looked at me. I could
feel my face turn red.
