Rain and Instant Noodles1



Many people say that eating instant noodles at night, especially in cold weather conditions, is an inexplicable simple pleasure, and I know it, it's been a long time since I've finally ventured to eat instant noodles again, I went to the kitchen to cook instant noodles soup, taste your favorite chicken onions, I put them in a bowl, and I took a pair of chopsticks. Then I immediately rushed back into the room, I opened the window until a full moon slightly covered with clouds accompanied me tonight to eat a bowl of instant noodles. The noodles you ate the first time we met.


I was working as a new employee in a small office in the Jakarta area, during a rainy day break and I thought eating noodles was a good idea, then I rushed to the park not far from the office, using an umbrella, when I met there for the first time with you, a beautiful woman in a blue shirt and tied hair was sitting down eating instant noodles alone. Honestly, when I first met you I was amazed, “tumben once, there is a woman as beautiful as you can actually eat in a place like this, alone.” I said in my heart.


After folding the umbrella, I then sat right next to you, and ordered a double fried noodle with my favorite egg. While waiting for my order to cook with the warkop brothers, I also ventured to get acquainted with you because, during my time in the office I never saw anyone like you.


“Umm... Excuse me, you're a kid in Poernama's office ya?” I ask you bravely. At that time you answered my question very briefly, densely, and clearly. “ngak, in the office next to it.” It is true, right next to my office works, there is another work office.the distance is only different from one building. “Oh next door office, know Angga, from the office next to you!” While hand thrusting to shake hands, “A-anggi.” You hesitated and just nodded your head, I know why you answered hesitantly, because we've only met for the first time and our names look like twins. I was also surprised when I first heard your name. What a beautiful day it was, a soothing rain, a plate of my favorite fried noodles, and being able to get acquainted with a beautiful woman like you.



I remember when you suddenly asked me. About cats.


“do you like cats?” Ask you


“Cat? yes like dong, cute animals so.” I answered while sipping a cup of coffee.


Although I love cats and want to keep them, fate says otherwise, my mother forbade me to keep cats, because she thought I would not be able to take care of her and would just abandon her. But that's not true.
