Male Female

One of the events when I was really late was my cousin's engagement. The engagement was going to be held a little bit far from the place where I used to live. On the day before the event, I had a really hectic schedule. So I was really tired that day. I slept late at night, and the next day when I woke up, it was so late. I woke up about 2 hours later than my daily routine. I was so panicked that I would be late for the event and that I needed to get ready quickly. As soon as I got ready, I took a bus. But the bus was not the right one. I took the wrong bus, which made me more anxious. Unfortunately, I arrived about 2 hours late to the event. I really felt bad for her that I could not make it to one of the biggest occasions. I apologized to my cousin. At that moment, she didn't say anything. It was just like, 'It's okay,' but the very next day, she was really angry that I could not make it. So yeah, that was the event when I was really late and regretful about my life.
