Broken Heart Man

Episode 22 Galau #1

Steve's car came into his yard while Dave's car was behind him. Steve got out of the car and opened the door and went inside. Find the switch and turn on the living room light. Steve stepped into the kitchen to grab a cold drink and gulped it down. Then go to the bathroom to clean up. While Nathanael sat on the sofa leaning back his tired body. Followed by Dave who was directly sitting next to him.

" How Dave " Nathanael.

" Beres boss "Dave.

" House of Nathanael.

" It's got.em boss if you may know what to look for rented house "Dave.

" For my mama "Nathanael.

" Boss is not ... " Dave's.

" Have you helped my mother move into that rented house "Dave nodded.

" Why are you here "Steve approached his best friend and saw his cousin was there too.

" Sleeping Numpang " Dave.

" No. I can't go home here there's no place for you "Steve.

" Come on my handsome cousin today I've reached one hitchhiking tonight just "pinta Dave.

Hah, if there is a wish muji handsome indeed I am handsome anyway, praise Steve to himself.

" You can also achieve "Steve.

" Hey I'm not a robot so I can accomplish that too. Ask your best friend all day long I've been around town looking for a rented house " Dave's hanker.

" Who's rented house for ? " Steve's.

" Make his mama say "Dave answers.

" Xander " Steve's.

Nathanael sighed slowly. Then Nathanael told me about Ratih's mother who refused to stay with him. Then Nathanael took the initiative to find a more decent rented house from a house that was lived by his mother.

" Dave, did you find the guy "Nathanael.

Steve squinted his eyes.

" Nothing else "Steve.

Dave chuckled softly.

" Apparently this one doctor misses the news yes "cheek Dave.

Huh! Steve took his phone and opened it. Steve nodded in disbelief at what he had just seen.

" Xander, what does this mean. You want to break Leo's hopes. We all know that Leo likes Grace "Steve.

" Do you think I'm that bad "Nathanael.

Steve scratched his head that was not itching.

" There's more to it than that "Nathanael.

" What ? " Steve's.

Nathanael hesitated a little but he had to ascertain what had crossed his mind.

" Dave can you do one more thing "Nathanael.

Dave and Steve looked at each other and looked at Nathanael.

" Find my mother's husband's whereabouts until I meet "Nathanael.

Dave nodded even though he was confused because the husband of Ratih's mother was Mr. Alexander. Then why seek husband Ratih's mother if Ratih's mother has a husband other than Mr. Alexander.

" It's night I'm going to bed I borrowed your room "Nathanael goes to Steve's room.

Steve didn't want to argue because he was so tired today he ended up sleeping on the sofa and Dave took the floor mattress and went to sleep.

The next morning after drinking a cup of coffee Dave went to take care of a woman who was on the cctv tape and handed it to the authorities. The viral news of his boss has been reported to Nathanael. Dave has muted it and Dave's next task is to find information about the whereabouts of Ratih's mother's husband.

After drinking a glass of milk due to Steve's coercive drama. Nathanael goes to Steve's car to the hospital to get his car. Steve realizes his best friend will ignore his own health if not the closest person he reminds. That's why Steve told Leo to watch over and take care of Nathanael.

Arriving at the hospital Nathanael directly into his car and drove his car to the contract that will be lived by mama Ratih and Vivi. After seeing the contract that later lived by his mother Nathanael drove his car to his restaurant.

Nathanael was struggling with the files that were piling up on his desk all day. Until it doesn't feel like the day is going on. A doctor-dressed person entered his room. Making sure his best friend is okay after meeting a woman from his past.

Steve took his best friend to lunch. Nathanael tidied up the files and turned off his laptop. Nathanael came out of his room along with Steve to fill his stomach which had been protesting.

Leo did not join his two best friends. He was in his room his gaze could not be separated on the screen of his phone. Because yesterday with his best friend drove a pregnant woman to the hospital. And today he was busy taking care of his best friend's restaurant. It was only during the day at lunchtime that he relaxed.

Leo shook his head slowly while bitterly laughing to see his best friend eating with Grace. Leo pressed his chest tightness undeniably his heart ached as the woman he loved left with someone else. And that man is his own best friend.

Steve and Nathanael sat facing each other. Steve cringed in wonder when he did not meet Leo.

" You don't feel anything "Steve.

Nathanael who was enjoying her food stopped her movement. Nathanael turned to Steve.

" I didn't see Leo. Did he see the news "Steve.

" Maybe "Nathanael.

Ck, Steve clucked. Nathanael was still thinking about how to explain to Leo.

Nathanael was finished with his meal with the arrival of a sweet girl sitting next to him.

Steve stared unblinkingly at the sweet girl in front of him as he greeted kindly.

" Wah look clear as if it makes you feel at home sitting here "Steve smiled kindly.

" Tuh eyes conditioned " cried Nathanael.

Steve ignores his best friend and talks to Eli. Both of them seemed to talk and laugh so they forgot that there was Nathanael among them. Nathanael grumbled. After talking to Steve for a long time, Eli realized his purpose.

" I'm sorry Steve, I'd like to talk to Xander "Eli for a second.

Steve nodded while blinking his eyes. Eli was a little surprised and then glanced at the handsome young doctor.

" Brother Xander " Eli.

" Hm " Nathanael.

" Sister may ask "Eli to sit sideways and face Nathanael.

The handsome man glanced at a glance then was busy playing his phone.

" Sister take me to my brother's place "Eli.

" I'm busy "Nathanael gets up.

Eli immediately restrained Nathanael's arm.

" Brother please "please Eli.

Nathanael breathed a rough breath. Actually he was lazy to go because he wanted to see Leo and talk to his best friend. So that Leo does not misunderstand the news that has gone viral.

Nathanael was about to refuse but his mouth was locked as his gaze was fixed on the bead of the girl's eyes. Nathanael silently glued to the girl beside him. Those eyes and that smile reminded him of someone.

Nathanael was silent for a moment and realized one thing. Soon the handsome man turned his eyes elsewhere.

There was a turbulent in his chest something foreign was surging in his heart. It causes subtle invisible vibrations. What is this feeling, muttered Nathanael. The handsome man massaged his temple.

" Come brother will ya ya ya "Eli wiggled Nathanael's hand.

Steve who had been engrossed with his phone looked up.

" Already Xander wants to "Steve.

" How about Brother "Eli.

Somehow he could not resist when Eli asked him to accompany the girl to his brother's place. A second later Nathanael nodded slowly.

" Thank you, brother "Eli.

Eli hugged Nathanael's sturdy arm with a smile.

Making the 170 cm tall man hold his breath. This is the first time he feels a little strange near the girl who looks like his first love. Huh! Nathanael again pressed down on something that had just flowed through his body. It felt like a pungent flow of electricity filled his frozen heart. Nathanael was trying to neutralize his racing heartbeat faster than ever before.

" Later in the afternoon do not forget, brother "Eli developed his smile and left.

Before he actually left, Eli pointed his thumb at Steve. Without Nathanael's knowledge of course. Steve replied to her with a faint smile.

Nathanael stared at the sweet girl's departure with an erratic feeling. Nathanael shook his head.

I better go back to the study and finish the files that need to be checked, Nathanael murmured.

Nathanael rises to his study leaving Steve alone. Steve left his best friend's restaurant.

Nathanael's afternoon creeping time had finished his work. Huh, the end is also over, muttered Nathanael.

Nathanael stretched out his arms and leaned his body against the back of the chair. Not how long the door of the room was knocked.

Tok to tok.

" in. "

The sweet figure of the lolypop candy bar emerged from behind the door.

" What time is it Brother "Eli is approaching Nathanael.

Ah it was afternoon apparently, muttered Nathanael when he saw the wall clock in his room. The handsome man remembered his promise to take Eli to his brother's place.

Nathanael tidied up the files and turned off his laptop and walked out of his room.

Eli waited under the stairs while Nathanael went up to his room and cleaned himself up. Now Nathanael has been neat with long-sleeved white shirts and black jeans. Not to miss his sneaker Nathanael walked down the stairs.

" Let's "take Nathanael with you after you get to the last step of the stairs.

" Gosh, this sister just missed "that sweet girl stroking her chest.

Nathanael ruffled the sweet girl's hair and stepped out to his car. Eli grumbled as his hair ruffled. Fortunately for love, Eli muttered smiling while tidying up his hair. Eli got into the car sitting next to the wheel while Nathanael sat behind the wheel. The handsome man drove his car to a place told by Eli.

Nathanael frowned in wonder as he passed by a path that was no stranger to him. Especially after Nathanael went down and the two entered a hospital where Eli's brother was treated.

Nathanael frowned as she stood in front of the nursery of Eli's brother. This is Shasha's nursery, ' muttered Nathanael. Her astonishment continued as the sweet girl called for big sister to Shasha. Eli and Shasha are related to why the girl called Shasha.

The question that had appeared in his mind was only in his heart. There she also meets Shasha's husband. They seem to be quite happy. Makes Nathanael smile wryly. There was pain that instantly hit his chest.

After Eli had a long chat with his cousin. Eli finally came home because it was night. Nathanael and Eli get into the car, the handsome man drives his car on a not so crowded street.

I don't know what Nathanael is doing right now. His mind became muddled his heart slightly pinched upon seeing the thing he had just heard. Nathanael is guessing about Eli and Shasha's relationship. There was no way this was not true he was trying to eliminate the taste that had just slipped in without being asked by his heart.

Nathanael repeatedly convinced himself that without the man realizing he had increased the speed of his car. Nathanael drove his car at high speed without heeding the traffic sign in front of him. The man hit the red light so he if his mind is in a state of turmoil. Nathanael would have been almost uncontrollable had he not heard the screams of the girl beside him.

" Sister stopped, Eli was afraid of the torment "a cry of fear resuscitated Nathanael.

The man then turned his head next to see the girl's body shivering in fear. Nathanael who feels guilty reduces the speed of his car. Then pull the car over and shut the engine off.

Eli, muttered Nathanael softly while patting his eel. Nathanael took the trembling body into his arms.

" I'm sorry "said Nathanael still clutching the tiny body as he pleased.

Nathanael regretted making the girl scared.

" I'm sorry Eli is okay "Nathanael calms the girl down.

Her feelings were a little worried seeing the girl cry as she pleased.

Natanael gently rubbed the girl's hair buds and then wiped away the clear water dripping on the girl's cheeks. Some time the girl began to calm down Nathanael unraveled his arms.

" I'm sorry Eli forgive brother "the girl nodded.

After feeling that the girl had calmed down Nathanael re-applied his car back to his restaurant.
