忘れちゃおるまいな

From context he seems to be asking "You didn't forget how much I apologize to the dude"? But I'm not sure about this specific use.

な is the particle for inviting confirmation; ～まい is a borrowing from literary Japanese that has the force of ～ないだろう, so here おるまい is formally equivalent to おらないだろう. This latter form may not be used but the sense is clear.
