The rain poured down at the noon after lunch break while Mike was taking a coffee inside the coffee shop in the corner of the street. He is 30 years old and working at one of mining company, if he was in town almost every lunch time he came to that coffee shop and took a black coffee and cheese cake as dessert after lunch. For Mike coffee is given another spirit after works and the most the important thing is gave a life lesson as principal of life or the vision of life.
He had no body to take a sit and chat with him at the coffee shop, so every times he just took lonely chair next by the window and staring at the outside. "so black coffee and a slice of cheese cake was a good choice" he think, then he called a waiter to make some order. He called her name as Jane as he know since a years ago since he started loving coffee and the rain so much in his life. a Minutes many people came to the coffee shop and order many variety thing, some people order a cup of capucinno, green tea, a slice of blueberry cheese cake, espresso and other. He think that actually this is not a good time for being alone because that time is a lunch time so, everybody was get out from the office and will try to take some meal or just some coffee.
"Jane, can you please come here?"
"of course, what do you want to order sir?"
"Can I have a slice of love and a cup of Life?"
Jane was smile, and a moment she thought that this is the first time Mike order something different, normally he ordered a slice of cheese cake and a cup of coffee, but then she didn't ask further about that. It seem Jane understand with Mike's order, so she went to the bar and preparing Mike's order.
Mike is staring at the window and the rain still drop heavily outside, slowly he change his vision to the other table inside the coffee shop. The table next by him is a fat lady which seems busy with her phone cell, Mike thought that she had a fight with her husband, then he turned his head further inside to the coffee shop, he look two couples was enjoyed their meal and it can be seen that the boy was love the girl very much seen from the way he look the girl and the way he pay more attention when the girl was talking.
Mike's phone rang. He sighed heavily as he picked it up
"This is Mike."
"Hey Mike, How are you?
"Jim? I'm great."
"I hear about you and Nicole. What Happened? it's only been a week and now you broke up already."
"Oh. Nothing it just a time where some one doesn't wanna disturbed by others."
" I see, it supposed be not good for you but will you came tonight? we have a dance party"
"I'll try!"
"Cool, see ya"
Mike put the phone slowly. It wasn't cool being let down but he knew he needed to get out and get over it. Life goes on. He won't cry for that girl she said in his heart, then slowly the coffee shop atmosphere is change into a warm situation where jazz music played, a swing jazz which has no expression but it flow by the air and seems it is a true life inside of jazz.
"This is your love and life Mike!"
"Thanks Jane, what love are you brought for me? and what kind of life that you will teach me?"
"I brought a slice of cheese cake that will show you love is more sweet than you thought,
I brought a cup of black coffee so you will know that this life is much bitter than you ever think,
I have played jazz atmosphere for you to understand that life is to be enjoyed in expression, art,
believing and wisdom inside"
Mike was felt dropped, then he took a gulp of coffee without sugar and think,
"If this life is bitter as coffee, why everybody addict on it!"
but then he realize, the often he took a bitterness of coffee then he will much more understand the bitterness it self. Bitterness is a vision that life is not always running smooth and good as we think, like a wheel sometimes we're on top but sometimes we,re down below thread by others. that's a true fact.
"If this love as sweet as cheese cake? why not everybody loving them instead we're can't take it too much!"
Mike was seeing the rain and watching everybody was running to dodge the rain and searching a shade to cover. a love is to be disclosed because there was never any love that is hidden, except by someone who loves himself too much.
Also if we're loving something too much, then the pain will be over us because of great lost. the same like cheese cake, normal portion will be okay but not with a huge portion and we take it all at the same time. That's Love
"Jazz which calming is a truly enjoyable of this ear, it's like we're flying to the highest place and wont get down!"
Mike was silent and try to breathe taking deeply and let his ear listened to the rhyme and rhythm in one syncopation of jazz, The bass was played so this head won't stopped dancing while the drum beat is make him fly to the heaven which he doesn't know the place exactly. The piano, the dancing finger, saxophone and others. And yes certainly this is life! no doubt about it.
"The rain seems scary and I won't get wet if I am inside of it!"
But then Mike was contemplating, the rain is a wonderful gift where almost 90% this life is depend on the water "The Rain". it also who showed a rainbow, the spectrum color of the sun. and rain was beautiful!
