Find Me in 1000 Years

Find Your Aslim

The woman's face reminded Ken of the time he still lived in Nagoya. Living in an orphanage and eating at Pak Nohara's noodle shop.

Yes, in the store that Mr. Nohara noodle, Ken first knew the woman. It was the summer of 3rd grade High School.

It was when he came with Yumi to the tavern wanting to have a little late lunch. After lunch, he will usually leave for his part-time (part-time) workplace across the highway.

The young man was chattering with Yumi and Pak Nohara when the woman came and entered the store. He looked towards the woman.

"Welcome," welcome Mr. Nohara.

"Oh, yes." The woman had a glance at Ken but then looked for a seat because at that time the chair was filled with buyers. He could not find a chair for himself.

A man offered her a chair, but it was a little brash at the woman for looking at her beautiful face. He touched the woman's chin impulsively. "Here you go, Miss. You must like it." The man laughed grinningly.

Seeing that, Ken immediately stood up to help him. "Eh, if you want, you can sit here even if it's a little cramped."

Yumi just looked at it because the girl knew, Ken is the type of person who does not have the heart to see others suffer so sometimes his nature makes the young man often involved in problems.

The woman then went to Ken. "All right," he said with a smile.

The man who had offered the woman a seat looked annoyed at Ken. He sat back with his mouth ranting.

Ken and Yumi who were sitting in a long chair near the kitchen were forced to share a three-seater until jostling to sit on a chair for a capacity of 2 people. Ken was sitting in the middle of the two women.

Yumi and Ken who were a little awkward with the woman, continued to eat her new half.

"I'm like them too, sir?" said the woman pointed to Yumi and Ken's food.

Judging from her clothes, the woman seemed to be an office worker. He smiled at Ken, as the young man glanced over while chewing.

Ken nodded his head politely.

"You orphanage kids, right?"

"Oh, right, brother," said Ken kindly.

"You guys were raised well it turns out by him."

Yumi and Ken knew, who was meant by 'her' here. That woman must be talking about the Chief of the House.

The woman then received her minya in a bowl served by Mr. Nohara. He began to eat it with chopsticks. "Mmh, delicious. Do you eat here often?" ask while chewing.

"Mk." Ken nodded while chewing the noodles. Sometimes he scoops his broth to drink.

"But my porch is very much. Maybe you can help spend this for me." The woman gave a little noodle to Yumi and Ken's bowl.

"Eh? But we also got a lot from the store owner," said Ken.

"It's okay. Shall I steam?" The woman thrust the noodles she wanted to share at the young man directly into the front of her mouth.

"Huh?"

"Yeah." The woman exemplifies.

"Not to." Ken shook his hand.

"Yetoo." The woman continued to insist so the young man was forced to give up. Yumi laughed to see it.

Ken finally chewed off the woman's mouthful.

"How, yummy?"

The young man nodded as he continued to chew. The woman looks happy.

Afterwards, Ken hurriedly finished eating his minya and immediately paid off in order to quickly get out of the tavern. She pulls Yumi who has not finished her meal because she is ashamed to see the woman and does not want to deal with her anymore.

Arriving outside the store, Ken stopped for a moment. His face looks panicked. "Yeah, Yumi. That woman is dangerous." He touched his chest because it was beating fast.

Yumi laughs. "You invited danger yourself, Brother Ken."

With Yumi still laughing, Ken walked away from the place.

They no longer meet until one day when Ken returns home from work in the winter, after he graduates High School. He had been accepted as OB(Office Boy) in a large company and had only done the job on the first day.

The woman used an overcoat, standing near the entrance. Ken didn't remember it until the woman rebuked him.

"Ken, don't you remember me?"

"Mmh?" Ken glanced at the woman. "Oh, you? Uh, how do you know my name?"

The woman laughed softly. "Are you not very famous?"

"Me?" Ken frowned.

The woman laughed again. "Ken, are you this stupid? I'm just kidding."

"Oh."

Suddenly the woman stopped her laughter and looked at the young man. He approached Ken and rubbed his head.

Of course that sudden movement left the young man in shock. He took a step back. "Why are you here?" ken stammered as he was nervous about meeting the woman again.

The woman smiled. "See you soon, Ken." Then the woman left.

Ken just gawked. He did not understand why he had met the woman again. Is this a coincidence or is he purposely looking for her? But for what?

------------+++-----------

Ken was really surprised by the presence of the woman. Is this really him or not? How could he jump time like himself, or ... the woman was just similar?

Ken looked carefully at the woman's face. From the beginning they met until now his face never changed. Not growing old exactly, but is this really him? Ken alone did not know his name back then, how could he make sure the woman was the same person or not because he himself did not know about the woman in the past. Not one bit.

The woman was dressed as a typical Tibetan with a hat on her head indicating she was the leader. His clothes resembled Miracles until Ken recalled the girl. Where is the girl now?

"Sorry Mr. Dalai Lama, you can't talk to him much because I have to take him away" she said. He looked towards Ken. "You can't say much because it's only going to hurt yourself."

"Me?" Ken pointed at himself.

"Yes right. You need to come with me right now." The woman gathered her hands behind the body.

"I-i?" Ken looks confused. "Eh, but ...."

"Ken, the time is very narrow. You should have an interview soon."

"Interpreter? Me?" Ken is still amazed. "Hey, why do you know my name? You ... weren't you the one who met me at the time?"

The woman glanced at her bodyguard by giving the code to immediately take Ken away. Two men immediately came to the young man and pulled him together in his protection.

"Eh, wait. Why should I come with you."

"Close his mouth."

The two men were holding the young man, one of them smothering the young man's mouth.

"Mmm mm."

The Dalai Lama approached the woman, and smiled. "I know who you are."

"Then keep it a secret like I'll help you keep the Yeti a secret."
