"Swadee khrap , " he politely greeted the woman in her thirties, that was just giving him a grin and then looking around.
"Oh Nong Mix isn't with you today... what a pity."
"Haha yes he is busy... I just was awake quiet early and thought this was the best way to start the day. You food is just too tasty."The woman couldn't hold back a laugh, her short hair swaying a little with the movement of her hair, and the prominent dimple appearing on her right cheek.
Beside their prices being reasonable and their offer being really good, Earth had to admit that it was the unique concept and the the owner's attitude that first made you want to take a seat here. There were just those people that made you instantely feel at home when you met them, and she was surely one of those. It felt more like going to a friend's coffee, even if you had never been here before.
"I am really glad you liked it that much... I'll pack you a little extra, just wait a moment."
While she was preparing his drink and food, Earth took out his wallet and already placed a little more than the price on the little wooden tray, his wallet disappearing in his pants again before he went over to sit on one of the tables outside in the greenhouse, watching the million colours that the sky was bathed in at the moment and taking a coupleof pictures of it with his phone. If there was one thing he regretted, it surely was missing his camera and not being able to capture the moment in it's full beauty... Maybe, seeing this dream like piece of art was something that would wake him up earlier every morning, so that he could watch the play of colour from different places, until he was sick of seeing this harmony. Well... it was probably impossible to have enough of this, at least for a good decade or two. And that was a lot of time.
Once the owner was done with putting together his order, she carried it over to the table and the two of them ended up sitting together, her sipping on a coffee while earth was consuming his breakfast and was send to cloud nine by it. The way the salad, dressing and chicken played together and melted in his mouth, he couldn't help picking every little crumb and piece up from his plate and even ordering a second one because it was this heavenly. And while he was eating, Earth and the woman ended up talking a little, mostly about university and how the shop was going, a little small talk here and there but which didn't felt forced or uncomfortable. it was a nice change of scenery and conversation partner for Earth and if he was really honest, the talk made him feel a little calmer for the day.
The day was like every other one, one lecture following the next, a little static here, architecture history there, and a couple of design studies to round the whole thing up. The combination of lecture subjects was a little more to Earth's liking though, always being greatful that he had the physics lectures on monday and tuesday and the rest of the week being free from his worst subject nightmare. Some people would just sit in the lectures and pay little intention, but something in the topics today had him completely fascinated, the young man hanging on every word his professors were saying today. Maybe it was his tired brain trying to divert the attention or just him feeling good after the nice breakfast... maybe just both of it was the case. But Earth would never complain about something like that.
Though after the lunch break it slowly started to get harder with every passing hour, him starting to glance at the clock from time to time and his attention slowly starting to fade... until he had troubles sitting down at all in his last one of the day. Well it was almost 5pm already, so who could say anything. The other students weren't doing much better, some of them ssecretly checking their facebook or line on their pc's, others scrolling through instagram - anything that could help them somehow get through the lecture without falling asleep. Mr. Sanguandikul was known for making life a living hell if someone was caught falling asleep while he held a lecture, scaring the first year students so much that they would come with multiple cups of coffee or ice to rub against their skin just so they wouldn't get on his bad side. He was actually quite the nice professor, explaining things throughly while having clean and organised printouts that really made learning his matters easier then with many of the other things Earth had. But well... everything had a flaw, right?
