#Person1#: Adam, I'm sorry.
#Person2#: But, where have you been, Alice? Here over an hour late.
#Person1#: Yes, but I couldn't help it. I was late getting off work and then I missed the bus. The bus I did catch got caught in a traffic jam. It was one thing after another.
#Person2#: But, why did you get off work so late? The office closes at 6, doesn't it?
#Person1#: Yes, but there's a rash on at the moment in my boss asked me to work on some urgent letters.
#Person2#: But didn't you tell him you had an appointment?
#Person1#: Well. No, I thought I'd finish in about 5 minutes. If it hadn't been for missing the bus and the traffic, I wouldn't have been so late. I'm sorry!
#Person2#: Well, near here, and that's the main thing. Though you were late for the movie, we can have dinner together.
#Person1#: Thank you. I won't be late again.
Alice explains to Adam she's late for the movie because of missing the bus and catching in a traffic jam. Adam thinks they can still have dinner together.
lateness
#Person1#: Adam, maaf.
#Person2#: Tapi, ke mana saja kamu, Alice? Aku terlambat lebih dari satu jam.
#Person1#: Ya, tapi aku tidak bisa menahannya. Aku terlambat pulang kerja dan kemudian aku ketinggalan bus. Bus yang aku tumpangi terjebak kemacetan. Kejadian demi kejadian terus terjadi.
#Person2#: Tapi, kenapa kamu pulang kerja begitu larut? Kantor tutup pukul 6, bukan?
#Person1#: Ya, tapi saat ini bosku sedang terburu-buru karena memintaku untuk mengerjakan beberapa surat yang mendesak.
#Person2#: Tapi bukankah kamu sudah bilang padanya bahwa kamu punya janji?
#Person1#: Yah. Tidak, kupikir aku akan selesai dalam waktu sekitar 5 menit. Kalau saja aku tidak ketinggalan bus dan kemacetan, aku tidak akan terlambat seperti ini. Maaf!
#Person2#: Yah, dekat sini, dan itu yang terpenting. Meskipun kamu terlambat menonton film, kita bisa makan malam bersama.

#Person1#: Terima kasih. Aku tidak akan terlambat lagi.
Alice menjelaskan kepada Adam bahwa dia terlambat menonton film karena ketinggalan bus dan terjebak kemacetan. Adam berpikir mereka masih bisa makan malam bersama.
