I will never forget the time when I lost my trench coat while we were on a trip to Prague, Czech Republic. It was a family trip, and I was traveling with my mom. We flew from Baku to Budapest, Hungary, and after that, we had to take a bus to Prague, Czech Republic. We had lots of luggage to carry, which made everything more hectic. When we boarded the bus, my mom and I put our luggage in the overhead compartment, and everything seemed to go smoothly. We had a pleasant journey. After that, when we arrived at the last bus station in Prague, we were met by my dad, and we took all of our things from the bus. I remember I turned and checked the compartment again, but I didn't see anything that we left there. I think it was stuck at the back of the compartment, which I didn't see. It was in September last year. We were, as I said, on a family trip to Prague. The weather was getting colder as it was the beginning of autumn. That's why the trench coat was important for me to wear there. I felt so disappointed because it was a new trench coat, and I thought it was very stylish. I was excited to wear it in Prague. I never had a chance to wear it. I bought it for this trip. That's why I couldn't shake the feeling of regret, and it remained in my mind for a while.
