Broken Heart Man

Episode 30 POV Nathanael

I was heartbroken because the person I loved married another man. I decided to leave my city. My goal was to go to T city because there was a friend of mine who lived in that city. I got on the train that's gonna take me to T city.

I got to the last stop of the train and got off. As I was walking to find a drink someone nudged me. The man apologized and I nodded then looked for the merchant who sold the drinks. When I was about to pay I reached into my pants pocket it turned out that my wallet had disappeared.

I finally did not buy a drink and called my friend to pick me up because I did not have a penny. Luckily my phone was still there and I called my friend to pick me up. When I was about to contact my friend the battery power in my phone ran out. I went back to the station and talked to the officer there to ask for permission to charge my phone. While waiting for my phone battery to be full I sat back down.

A few moments later someone sat next to me. It seemed like the person was talking on the phone while grumbling. I didn't pay much attention because I was remembering my friend's address. And think how to find my friend's address. I was hungry and thirsty because my stomach had not been filled with food all day. Just a cup of coffee I had this morning before I got on the train.

" Hi .. "greet that guy who turns out to be a girl.

I didn't respond to her remarks but the girl didn't give up. He tried to get me to talk even though I was lazy to answer soberly.

" Sister must be hungry yes take it" said the girl again.

I just glanced at it even though the worms in my stomach were thrashing but I held back from accepting the girl's offer.

" Aish, this brother if hungry does not need prestige. This food and drink no poison really, suer "the girl raised her hand to form the letter v.

I took a quick glance then I received a piece of bread and a bottle of drink from the girl.

" Thank you "I said at the time.

" Let's eat "the girl's orders.

And strangely I just obeyed and then I ate the bread that the girl gave me. Then sip mineral water up to half a bottle.

Yes, it was the first time I met that girl in a foreign place away from my hometown. All I knew was Eli when the girl mentioned his name. He spoke to me like a man who had known me for a long time. The girl told me she was waiting for her brother to pick her up. But until almost an hour his brother had not come.

I just quietly leaned forward while listening to her story and it upset her.

" Hi, hello .. Brother heard no "he said as he flicked his hand in front of my face.

I turned to him as soon as I could see his face so close to mine. The girl then smilingly looked at me Not out of fascination or admiration for the girl but rather the girl's face reminded me of someone.

Those eyes and that smile reminded me of someone. Someone I have been hard to forget up until now. Until I had to avoid and go away from my hometown just to forget about it. But it was as if wherever I was his shadow was always following me.

I rose from my seat and cast off the shadow of the girl who became my first love. I picked up my phone and saw it was fully charged. Then I called my friend when I was about to call my friend someone called my name.

" Xander "I turned to the direction of the sound.

A tall handsome man like me approached me. I smiled with relief as it turned out that my friend had come before I called her. And along with the voice of the girl beside me who deafened my ears.

" Sister "call him to my new friend.

I was surprised when the girl called my friend sister. In the end I found out from my friend that the girl was his sister who was about to continue her school in this city.

That's how I first met the girl. Little girl named Eli whose face looks like the girl who became my first love.

In a new place I prefer to busy myself with work and work. Only at night can I rest my body after a long day of work. Only on Sundays can I relax and be free from the work routine that takes up my time. And on that Sunday everyone was home including my friend and his wife and the girl was there too. Yes my friend is married but has not been blessed with children even though they have been married for one year. While relaxing on Sundays I choose to play guitar in my friend's backyard. At that moment the girl came and sat beside me while listening to me sing.

I complain in my heart. How could I forget that every day I had to meet that little girl.

I finally decided to find a contract not far from where I work. Besides being close to where I work, I also avoid meeting my friend's sister. Because when I saw my friend's sister I remembered the girl who was my first love.

Nathanael awoke from his sleep. It turned out to be morning, he muttered and then rose to lean on the back of the bed. After pondering for a while Nathanael stood up and went into the bathroom. Wash his face and brush his teeth and then get out of the bathroom. Nathanael straightened her hair and stepped out of the room.
