fried rice, french election, you and I

Saturday, 08:00, my residence:

a series of continuous knocking on my door.
I was blowdrying my hair, so i just abandoned it.
But the knocking did not stop.
I thought, that must be the maid checking if i'm up already,
the driver has arrived to pick me up (to go to work)
Yes, who else goes to the office on saturday morning but moi?
Anyway the knocking got more irritating, so i screamed
"sebentar!" , as i finished with my hair i rushed to the door,

and there he was
standing there, with a tray, a fried rice and a glass of orange juice.

The first thought that came to mind was,
"how on earth did you bring all of those things? How did you go pass the security gate at 8 in the morning? the maid and my tante? For Gucci sake, how could i not appreciate this effort, everything on a tray haha. If the guy is not a high flyer player, there is no way he could pull this thing off"
yayaya.. never mind, you made the effort to wake up early on saturday morning and cooked, go to supermarket to buy the orange juice and brought them all thee way from Jakbar to Jaksel, on a tray!! gudness me, i still cannot believe the tray, man! So i let him in, we watched CNN while having breakfast. Discussing the Virginia massacre and upcoming french election that will take place tomorrow. Sergoleone Royal for president. yeah! you go and do your thing, girl!
Well, i did not pay too much attention of French politics, but yesterday i spent all morning Google-ing Ms. Royal and Nina Wang. Anyway, if she is elected, she will be the first woman president in France. She is so chic and fashionable. haha. Actually the other 2 candidates are not too bad themselves, Sarkovsky or whatever his name is. I think he is going to win. He's very young and good looking. The election is going to be very unpredictable and exciting since 40% of the voters have not made their decision on whom to pick. 40% is huge. Even an underdog still has a hopeful chance to win.
But the nina Wang is even bigger than the election. I mean, the richest woman in Asia has decided to give her total inheritance (that's 4.2 BILLION US DOLLAR) to her fortune teller?? i mean?? This is nuts! Since when a fortune teller even enters the scene? What did the fortune teller do to her? Hypnotise her or something? What about her family? Her company and all of the people whom have worked for her over the years?
Anyhow.. back to my breakfast romansa (haha..!!)

The thing is, i have known the guy for 5 years, have known him good enough that even if he served me romantic breakfast (which is not the first time), even if he decorates my whole bedroom in rose petals (which had happened before), even if he invites me to his annual family gathering (which had happened as well), even if he puts his whole heart on the tray, it will still take a very long way to go to fix our "broken to pieces" relationship.

But yeah, at least now that i know what you are willing to try,

why dont we give "us" another try?

besides, his fried rice tastes much better than the first one that he cooked for me 3 years ago.
"Babe, you are a good cook. This is terrific!"
"I'm a changed man. A better man, love"

What ever that means.
