Who will stop the rain

Yes, now already rainy season, here in Jogjakarta, my hometown also. Almost everyday above us a dark sky with cloud. Sometimes rain came so havely and full of Thunder, but mostly rain come like cat and dog.

I almost feels so strange of the smelt of land after the rain. Every place almost similar the smelt of evaporate land after the rain.

During the rain sometimes I feel so free. Why free? because almost nothing we can do when there out there a rain falls so heavily. I like wathing what running out there while the rain is coming. People outhere that still in bravely run thorought the rain and the question "why they still running out there?

Rain is coming, for another people is it a gift, but for another is nothing rather than weather.
