Last Life
Shade Inside Abandoned Mall During Heavy Rain

Entering a mall that previously me and Alex tried hard to enter, because the entrance was covered by plants and large wood.

On top of this mall building also seen there are tree branches that support the roof of the mall made hollow when I observe.

The atmosphere looked silent and the air seemed empty when I was near the cashier of this large mall. In it I observed so dark and a little dirty, many cobwebs that had covered the road on the product shelf.

"I'm going around looking for something I'm going to take, if you want to go around please! I looked at Alex from the side.

"Are you not afraid? This place looks dark on the part that's there."

"It's okay, I can take care of myself. So you just calm down."

Alex was silent for a moment as he looked at me and then he opened his mouth.

"You're so different from most women I've ever met, you think I like this kind of thing. Must be a very soothing atmosphere for you?"

"Em, I feel so."

It turns out Alex is so sensitive to people like me he just let me just let myself explore the shelves of products in this mall alone.

Of course on one condition I was within a certain radius and not too far to prevent unwanted things from happening, that's what he told me.

I'm looking for instant foods like noodles and pasta for dinner tonight, because I miss the taste of noodle soup and tomato-sauce-studded pasta.

And I have to be good at sorting and choosing so as not to take the wrong product with a very long expiry time. Better yet those that have not yet expired.

In the product shelf section that is still visible to the light I found various variants of instant noodles with a tasteful look.

"This instant noodle has not been produced in my year of origin, I think it will be nostalgic for the taste when I try it again. Then I'll take this, since the expiration date is not very far."

For a moment I tried to forget the thought I was facing at the moment diverted it to the pleasure of shopping. Even in a place like this, I feel very grateful.

Some of the different noodles variants I have placed in the next mall basket I look for cereals and canned food.

I found milk that I can still consume with cereal and bread, lucky I found instant porridge.

As I recall in 2012 instant porridge has not been found in the market or shopping centers such as malls and supermarkets. Surprisingly, I found it on the shelves of this mall. It really got me thinking.

Drinks were no less important so I looked for it as needed, also thought by me the taste of a soft drink that I had not drank anymore.

Unfortunately the soft drinks I saw were in the dark and wet on the floor because the top looks hollow in the entrance by the tree branches.

Cret!

I opened the Snack with thin potatoes and ate them little by little so that my confidence to go to the dark part increased. Instantly I did not feel any emotion about the so-called fear.

The shoes I was wearing were wet when I took the fizzy drinks off the shelves and the cooling machine glazed over. But finally the drink was in my grasp.

Not just food and drink other products I take to meet my daily needs, even though I do not know if I will use it until it runs out.

Before long Alex approached me to immediately leave this place visible from the gap in the mall showed the sky cloudy.

"Yeah, I've got everything I need anyway" I said.

"It's usually not heavy. Actually, this is still not enough."

Just making a pretence made me see a different face that I had never seen from Alex's expression.

Alex took the initiative to help bring groceries so I just give him a basket containing products.

Gru's...

The sound of thunder from a distance made me waltz away towards the exit of the mall forcing to accelerate the journey home.

But the situation was not on my side the rain fell very rapidly with the sound of lightning as if struck at the same time.

Of course the best option is to stay in this mall for a while, I hope someone comes to pick me up.

A few minutes and already entering half an hour I was trapped inside this mall in a state of starvation, remembering the flashback when I was cooking in the shopping center at that time I also planned to invite Alex to accompany me to the kitchen.

But first I have to find lighting to light the way to the kitchen in this place. Like a flashlight, because I don't dare to use the light from a cell phone flash when the lightning outside strikes in a few seconds.

The lighting problem has been overcome now Alex and I are heading towards the kitchen according to predictions from him when I ask what his opinion about the kitchen place in this mall.

The rain drops were very cold when they hit my back while the water-filled floor made me have to turn around looking for another way.

Moreover, there are several other obstacles besides the wet floor.

Finally the kitchen has been found directly Alex check the condition of the stove whether it still works or not, and Alex is very dexterous in my opinion.

Fortunately the stove still worked so well that I still had time to cook after I prepared everything.

"Do I have to hold the flashlight until you finish cooking?" alex asked as I was busy heating the water and concocting seasonings for noodles and pasta.

"Of course, if not I'm having trouble cooking" I replied briefly.

Once I was surprised to hear the sound of lightning, but I still keep myself on the outside view so as not to see the action of someone when surprised like what. It might be embarrassing if I let it go.

To Alex he I lyrics do not flinch when lightning is heard aloud. Really a guy who falls into the category of my choice.

A few moments passed, I finished cooking and serving noodles and pasta along with canned food on the first used plate.

The two medium-sized flashlights were placed in the right place so that myself and Alex could eat quietly without any of us holding the santer.

It feels very delicious to feel instant noodles after a few days I do not serve it.

Pasta with special seasoning also felt so melted when I bit and made me drift away in enjoying every mouthful of pasta and noodles.

"You're very fond of eating" said Alex.

"That's because I haven't eaten instant food in a long time. Oh yeah, what do you think of my cooking?"

"Yes, I give it a 95. To be honest I'm very addicted to eating it. You're good at cooking."
