Pluviophille Love Story's

The cahpter 4

Petrichors. The smell of dry soil wet from rain, the smell is very fresh. The rain this season has come. Things I always expected when the dry season came.

Ever since I was a kid I loved the rain, because it was like taking a shower under a giant shower. Growing up, I loved the rain philosophy.

Rain is like a form of the sincerity of clouds that part with the speck of water after passing through various processes together, also a form of love from the creator to the inhabitants of the earth, I do not know much about the occurrence of rain, I do not know much about the occurrence of rain, I know I love the rain.

The spots seemed to tease me, inviting me to play together like when I was a child.

“Naya, I go home first ya” my gaze turns on my co-worker siska, it's already home hours, but I still want to be here, staring at the rain that flushes this city. I nodded at Siska, she was the only person who was here, waiting for the rain to subside a little.

Realizing that I was alone now, I decided to go home, it was also scary, on this 3rd floor, it was just me, all the employees had gone home. I see the rain is not as hard as it was.

Arriving at the lobby, I did not go straight to the parking lot, but played a little by sticking out one hand and letting it get wet from the cold rain.

Oh my god, it's so comfortable. I close my eyes to enjoy every speck that touches my palm.

“Your clothes will get all wet Naya” said someone who surprised me, my eyes opened and turned to the source of the sound.

How surprised I was to see who was bothering me this time.

It's galang!

He smiled as I had already revealed my unfavourable look to him, you strange man!

“You can copy together not Naya?”

“I can't, sorry” after saying that I went straight from before him.

“I've been all the way here just want to meet you, cook on wine like gini sih” he lamented, my steps stopped, I turned back to face him.

“Absolutely I asked you to come here?” she shook. I continued my steps.

“I want to ask for your number directly, wrong? Your answer yesterday made Dewi afraid to give your number to me, she was afraid you were angry with her” my steps came to a halt, I took a deep breath.

What is your plan, God? I don't want to wish on anyone other than you, please don't make me fall for the umpteenth time.

“Why is it so hard to get close to you Naya?” ask again.

I'm weak, I easily fall in love with people who can steal my sympathies, that's the reason, Galang, but I say it only in my heart.

I heard footsteps approaching me, Galang suddenly stood before me.

“I know where chicken noodles are good, want to try with me?” It must have been the Goddess who told him about my favorite food.

“Baik” his smile broke again.

***

We sat facing each other, waiting for the order to come. This place is quite crowded, even more crowded than the chicken noodle shop.

“You like Chicken Noodles right?” he asked, I nodded, didn't he already know the answer, it felt like this was just the reason to open a conversation between us.

“I also like” I nodded politely.

When the order came, we both fell silent enjoying the Chicken Mi with smoke still billowing along with the increasingly heavy rain out there.

I stole a glance at Galang, he ate greedily, but still cool, he was basically handsome anyway, even if he had not bathed even though no one would know.

I shook my head for the umpteenth time, subconsciously I had already praised him for the umpteenth time.

“Why Naya?” I was silent for a moment, was it caught admiring him?

“What?”

“You why did the head bobble from earlier?” oh that means, thankfully.

“I if eating here is always gini, finished first in my friends appeal, this is the best noodle I have ever known” he said while chuckling and looking at me.

“You can not enjoy the food dong if so” he smiled.

“How people enjoy something is different Naya” oh right too.

I do not respond to Galang's words anymore. After my noodles run out, I'd rather see the rain out there.

“You seem to like it so much yes same rain”

“He likes it, Lang”

“Why?”

“Yes love it, for no reason” Galang laughed at my response just now. He humble once for the size of people who just know each other like us.

“OK I want to the point same you here, you do not like convoluted right?” he asked, I nodded in response.

“Can I have your mobile number, Naya?”

“For what?”

“To get to know each other”

“We already know right?”

“Know closer I mean”

“For what?”

“Yes because I want to know you more closely, Naya” replied with anxiety.

I looked at him fixedly. The god? Is this the answer of all do’a me and do’a people who love me? Is that God's man?

I turned my face away when I realized that he was returning my gaze, it made him laugh lightly. Maybe he knows that I'm now blushing like that by him.

“Why do you want to know me more closely?” my great-grandson, but I'm sure he can hear it.

“Any not if I say I'm in love with you?” I looked back at him, so soon he fell in love with me?

“That's weird” I replied, he was instantly flat-faced, no more rancid smiles.

“I believe ‘love at the first sight’ and that's what happened to me” okay, I also believe that, but still can't believe if anyone falls in love with me that way.

“I'm not a perfect human Galang, me too.”

“You think I'm perfect? Neither do I, Nay” cut it. I was fixated for a moment, watching him slowly, he was serious, I could see it from his eyes, there were no lies.

“Still this is weird for me, and sorry I can't reciprocate your feelings” Galang looked at me with a hard-to-interpret expression, he wasn't sad, nor disappointed.

“I don't ask you to return my feelings, you just know enough, the rest let me who made you subconsciously have the same feelings as me”

“Galang, please understand, do not put hope on me, you desire better than me” he shook his head firmly.

“Please explain, why are you building a wall between us?”

“In my opinion, dating is just a waste of time, we could have broken up halfway, then what? Starting over with someone new? Big no!” firmly without feeling guilty to him, Galang grasped my hand that was on the table suddenly, making me reflect looking at him.

“Our story will be different, I will convince you Kanaya” I am silent, other than because of Galang's hand grip that feels warm to me, Galang's eyes are sharp and locking, making my body stiff.

Sometimes I get confused, I want to have a partner, want to get married, but don't want to commit. Weird right? just like the way Galang loves me. It's strange!
