All That She Wants….

written by Christine Wonoseputro about every woman’s dream of everlasting happiness. 

Today my friend is driving me with a new expensive car, and suddenly

my mind just flying by, in the middle of busy road and heavy rain of the day.

I sit in near the window, and I look outside across the street,

beneath the crowded bus stop, because of the rain.

I saw some ladies running to reach the shelter and the other lady tries to prevent their little children from the rain. Altough it was a heavy rain, they still can make joke each other.

Suddenly, I realize that I’m in Singapore right now, this is really not my hometown.

After we reach the carpark, the other gorgeous lady come, parking her expensive Benz car. She is so pretty, eventhough I can see that she’s not young enough.

I can see if that heavy rain didn’t bother her at all. She was driving a comfortable Benz. I can scent the aroma of Channel from her when she was crossing in front of me , and I saw she worn Prada latest tote bag. She’s so elegant. She was going inside Takashimaya and I saw that she talked to a man that probably she knew before. That man seem really know how to serve her as a lady. He let her come in first, opened the door for her, and act respectful to her.

Then my mind suddenly flying flash back to the bus shelter, when some other ordinary ladies probably still waiting for their bus. The elegant lady is now standing in front of me, then this question really coming to my mind . I  look at her diamond ring, her Prada bag, and her nice make up… is that all that  she wants? I saw her smiling at me, and I smiling back to her. Is she really happy?

For most of women, diamonds, pearls, and expensive clothes probably everythings. But deep in their hearts, it’s not really enough. Some women who have everything sometimes feel deep down in loneliness and unhappiness.  I don’t know why, most of guys usually try to  attract their couples with  gorgeous things ( so did my ex boyfriend )– but after long time relationship, it means nothing. Women do not really need it. Actually, what woman want is more that Benz or BM, diamond rings, expensive parfumes and all of those things that can be given by man.

After a long time relationship, most of people become bored, and the feeling between couple become plain, tasteless. Because what the women need is actually the openess of true feeling, true love, and caring by their couple. That’s why a lot of woman look for another relationship with another person. Because they didn’t really get what actually they want from their couple.

That lady has disappeared from my sight. But across my mind there is another person that I know . I do hope that gorgeous lady like her has really had all that she wants…
