Imagine you heard the story of this two persons. They meet, they became good friends, taking no time at all becoming so close they practically swapping personal secrets usually reserved for relationships years in the making. They become each other's supporters, and then their biggest critics. Then they started fighting. And then, it appears everything they did annoy each other. They drift apart. And then, they missed those good times. When times heal, they became close again. and the cycle is repeated. And then, they have a big big big fight, taking much longer to neutralize. Everything seems like a waste. And then, in their isolation from each other, those feeling of missing started to grow again. But this time both persisted, thinking "enough is enough".
Somehow those feelings is not so easy to hold down. And then one makes the initiatives to repair the relationship. In no time the cycle started again. If the previous fights is bigger than the rest, this time the reconciliation is equally intense. And then it appears they fell in love (mistakenly maybe, or maybe not, who knows?). They became a couple, and the cycle that is so familiar during their friendship is repeated again. Only this time the stake is higher, the feelings and hurts felt deeper. This cycle is repeated over and over again. Four times they broke up and reconciled. Finally enough is enough. They broke up. Time off, it seems.
Is it really possible with more understanding, tolerance, that we can have the positif thing without the less desirable traits of the friendship? Only time will tell...but maybe Paris - Anthony is too close for us. Maybe Paris - Rotterdam is still too close. If Paris - China is still too close, kelaut aja dua duanya...

Hmm. Have a nice trip, ri. I hate you 'cause you're going to China and I'm not. But I admire you 'cause you finally made it.
