When we finish talking with our friends or our family on the phone, we always say "ha-i." After saying bye or goodnight or something like that, we say this, wait about 5 seconds and then we hang up. The reason why we wait a few seconds is because it is "Omoiyari." We see our family off with a smile at the door when they go to work. We wave our hands till our friends vanish out of sight when they part from us. We can't do that on the phone so we put our heart into the few seconds of silence. Sometimes I say, "Oh, I almost forgot! I have something I need to tell you." and they say, "What?" in those few seconds. Then, I hang up quietly.

Corrected Textmore↓When we finish talking with our friends or our family on the phone, we say "bye" or "goodnight" or something like that, and then we say "ha-i." After that, we wait about 5 seconds and then hang up. We do that because it is "Omoiyari."
Usually, we see our family off with a smile at the door when they go to work or wave "goodbye" to our friends until they are out of sight. We obviously can't do that on the phone so we use those few seconds of silence as our way of "omoiyari" .
Sometimes I even say, "Oh, I almost forgot! I have something I need to tell you." and they say, "What?" And in those few seconds of silence; I hang up quietly.
