The Story of a Broken Man

12. Dreams That Have Not Arrived

Jamila, she had just woken up after dreaming of marrying Joseph. In a beautiful dream, she is a princess who is happy with the prince she loves. Handsomeness, gentleness, and other cool things that are so alluring that is a dream that has been very coveted since High School.

She used to be not a popular student, not a sociable person either. It was indeed very impossible for him just to chat with his heart. He could only admire in silence. For him it may be quite satisfying, but sometimes it feels like doing more than just looking at it.

"If only you could be mine. I will be the happiest woman. When will I get a chance to talk to him? How do you think that's just a dream for me?" Unknowingly sometimes he muttered like that alone.

"I don't want another man. You're all I want," this sentence, even now he still holds. There were some men approaching her. But he always rejected it for all sorts of reasons.

He was actually surprised and happy when he saw the figure of Joseph in his pecel shop. It was like getting a durian crumbling. Although his attitude was pretty cool .

He realized, he also still remembered the incident a few years ago. When his passion had reached its peak plus the conditions and situations that supported it, he unconsciously teased Joseph, even telling him to unseal his chastity. Even if other men without being told will immediately do it. This makes his joy even more overflowing.

From then on, he was a little awkward to chat with her. Although he wanted to, Joseph was so cold to him. He regretted saying things he shouldn't have said. But everything's been pureed. Time cannot be repeated anymore but he always hopes to improve things that have happened, which he hopes is just that.

"If we move into grandma's house doesn't matter, do you? It's a pity that no one is looking after him. Your mother agreed, "at that time, shortly after she said something inappropriate to her loved ones.

"I don't have a problem either. Grandma's place is also good. The view is great," Jamila said. Actually, he disagreed because he could not see the prince. But it was finally confirmed as well.

His grandmother lived in a village not far from the city. The scenery there is still awake even though the construction is being intensively carried out. She wished she could forget the man who had become cold to her from that day on. But no matter how many times you try, it feels all in vain. He could not even accept another man who looked more steady than Joseph. For him, he is the best man God has created.

"Sorry my friend. He didn't usually like that" He recalled the conversation with Arif after Joseph left his stall yesterday. A chatter that gave hope to him could be close to Joseph again after a long time.

"Liet down. What's he called if I could find out?" Actually the one who asked already knew, he just wanted to make sure, afraid of wrong people because there are other people whose faces look the same.

"His name is Yusuf. He's my friend in the office" he replied casually.

""Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Udah as far as I know. Who doesn't have my girlfriend. "

"Not coming?"

"It needs to be the same. Can't you ?"

"Maybe later. We're just getting to know 'if you say you want to be guessed what else I am."

"Yes too. I'll wait until he wants to. Btw, you don't have a husband, do you?"

"No. Nothing's matching yet."

"Alhamdulillah then it is mbak. I think I like her the same way. Oh yes btw criteria candidate kayak where? Once I could enter the criteria, mbak," very confidently the man in front of him said.

"Criteria yes? There's no one. The important thing is that I fit in with him, and he's still responsible."

"I can be the person responsible for mbak. Whatever needs I have will be met."

"Don't call me mbak. I guess that's kind of how it is."

"My name is Jamila, you can call it Mila or Lala. Whatever you want to call me who can."

"Yes already. I'll call Lala, can I?"

"By the way," Arif looked quite well at his face, but he was not very interested. Actually, he was also a bit lazy to respond to it which from earlier was like teasing him. But it was also good for him to pry information about Joseph. The hope that was once buried finally appeared the hope to fix it.

"It's only been about two and a half years."

"Olderly as well . How do you think he is?"

"He's a good guy just kind of closed off, especially about things that he thinks are embarrassing. But it's not a problem anyway."

"Have he never seduced a girl in the office?"

"No really. He's not the man I'm so sure of. She seems serious about this boyfriend."

"How's his girlfriend?"

"I know she's beautiful, jolly. Cepet really cambet, but sometimes looks mature. This is what Joseph is talking about. It's me here" he protested. Naturally, he was jealous when viewed from the way he spoke since.

"So she looks a lot like my old High School girl. But yes, it is lupain. It doesn't matter either."

"Really?"

"But I never saw him again because I moved schools. Do you know what it's like to meet SMA ? Even though I'm not sure it's him."

"Oh. But how was Joseph acting so strange?"

"Either. I don't know about it either, "He knows why, but he's lazy to say it. Moreover, he had nothing to do with the past matter at all.

"Oh yeah, how's the pecel feeling?" The woman tried to shift the topic.

"Obviously, I'll stop by again tomorrow."

"may be a subscription."

"Obviously if that's the case. Hmmm... Can't you ask for Lala's number?"

"Don't call mbak. Call Lala aja. "

"Not used to. His tongue says it like that."

"You want an HP number? I can, but what's it doing?"

"Hm...."

"This is a catet. But promise you will subscription " the woman offered her cellphone. What he had in mind was that he could get close to the man so that he could chat with Joseph.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll call later," finished noting the number, Arif said so.

"Either. But next time don't call me mbak. If I call you again I'll sulk."

"Ready. I go first yes, the break is almost done," Arif immediately said goodbye after paying the pecel earlier.

"OKs. "

"See you later, yes" It feels like Arif would not willingly part with the pecel seller. Actually he still wants to linger . But it's time he had to leave. So yes willingly he did not want to go from the pecel warung.
