Uninvited Clients - 招かれざる客達


5 years ago a friend (59) of my parents made his bow as an actor while continuing his business as an architect. He appears not only in films or commercials, but also in a play once or twice each year.

This year I had a chance to be invited to see his play titled: 'Univited Clients' at Geinokadensha (a primary school was reformed to a littlle local theatre after its close down).

The story was about a Barista and his unfortunate client having lost his family during childhood, who killed themselves in a fire because of their debts caused by a certain former banker, who was actually the Barista himself. The client was there in the Barista's cafe for his vengeance. When the Batista heard this story, he was shamed of his innocence of the client's situation but could only tell him the fact that he remembered...

This piece reminded me of the importance of thanking the small happiness We don't realize its value, for it usually becomes a routine and is easily forgotten, until the rouine meet its end.
And I was the one who was about to forget the thankfulness towards every little thing that happens in every day life. What would it be like when ordinary happiness turns extraordinary...
