Sun and rain are God's business

Việt Văn |

The rain, sometimes drizzling, sometimes pouring, lasted from night to morning, only pausing for a moment before continuing. The vegetable vendor, tightly covered in nylon, complained: Why does it rain so much? Who can I sell to when it rains like this?

The neighbor, who normally walks around the park twice every morning, was upset because of the rain and couldn't leave the house. He was pacing back and forth on the balcony. His son was yelling at him to hurry up and get dressed so he wouldn't be late for school.

You called the technology motorbike taxi driver for a long time before you could reach him, the price skyrocketed almost 3 times higher than usual, he said it was hard to run in the rain but the orders kept popping up, no need to think. He said the city is so prone to flooding now, every few hours of heavy rain, the streets are flooded, dogs and cats are struggling to swim. There are even places that have never heard the phrase "wading in water" for many years but now they get to experience it. When it rains heavily right at the time of going to work or getting off work, the suffering is prolonged when a lot of people sometimes have to stand still in one place and move little by little.

When you arrive at the meeting place, your partner texted you saying you’re late. You sit alone in the shop. The two young employees of the fancy coffee shop joke with each other because they have nothing to do. You order a Latte and it’s brought out in a flash. Suddenly, because of the rain, you have a moment to relax and sit here. Come to think of it, everything has two sides. Scrolling through your friends’ Facebook pages, you see one story after another. There are more sad stories than happy ones. Even the happy ones sometimes seem forced, or maybe because you keep making assumptions when you see the owner’s face smiling crookedly…

After meeting your partner and doing some small, miscellaneous things, it was already noon. The rain had stopped, the sky was clear and sunny. It was really sunny, the weather changed quickly. Suddenly, you felt more excited, called some friends to invite you back to the old place to drink. They were surprised: Today is not the drinking schedule. You scolded: According to the schedule, you are a robot. Just happy for the monsoon.

While sitting and drinking, there was no sign of the monsoon but the hot sun was already blazing. The youngest boy in the group, who looked the most poetic, sighed: Isn't it better to sit and drink in the rain?

The fattest man in the group laughed heartily: "It's true that you've got an elephant and want more. The sun is hot, the rain is hot. Life is mostly not as you wish, so you have to accept it to be happy. Let's drink to celebrate the new dish!"
