The Story of a Broken Man

14. The deadhead ghost

A quiet afternoon as usual. Once inside, Yusuf felt happy his house was neat without having to tidy up. Immediately he looked for Ilyas after closing the door. He wants to tell you that the bike is fixed tomorrow. He would be happy to hear it.

Ilyas was sleeping in the room. Seeing him, Joseph was like seeing his brother back. It feels nostalgic. At first he wanted to wake her, but was reluctant. He prefers to cook food for later.

Haru he cooks cauliflower, one of his sister's favorite foods. I feel like trying again after so long. He used to cook it a lot, but since he lived alone he almost never cooked cauliflower again.

"Finally soon I have a partner," Arif's voice when before coming home was felt spinning back.

"Which girl will be your partner?" joseph asked curiously.

"That pecel guy, he said he wanted to be with me," he excitedly said.

"You don't like it because of lust, do you?"

"No. I really love her. Why apparently?"

"You said the body was sexy. You will be anuin every day."

"Yes his name is human. That lust must be there. That's normal, right?"

"Yes, anyway."'

This is how the conversation happened at the time. Yusuf hopes that he chooses a suitable partner for him. He did not like the choice of his friend. But yes it was his choice, as long as he was happy why not?

After cooking, he prepares to take a shower. Watering the body with water after work is best. It feels like all the burdens of today are gone. After this he planned to wake Ilyas up.

***

Ilyas yawned as he woke up from his sleep. In his eyes that were still sleepy. Next to him was Joseph sitting holding a cassette.

"Where do you get these tapes?" Joseph asked as soon as Ilyas woke up.

"From the TV closet drawer. I'm sorry that I watched the movie on the tape. Next time I won't do this again."

"Liet down. Did you watch this movie?"

"Yet. Just see how many minutes I've been horrified myself. It's scared, horrified, it's just one."

"Want to see again?" Yusuf.

"No. Just one time. Don't want me anymore."

"Seriously? There's no such horror?"

"Test the guts anyway . Cook thugs scared of horror movies."

The cassette was a horror film cassette that Yusuf got when he was fun buying a lottery. Actually, what was targeted by him was a very popular tamiya car at that time.

10 Years since then. It was a long time ago that tape. The first time he got the tape, there was an intention to give it to someone else. From the title alone is horrified. It's more horrified. The main character in the film is a headless ghost who constantly searches for the missing head from his body. Imagine a man walking without a head even for a moment it feels like he wants to escape. Moreover, having to see it for an hour more, it feels like just want to be a psychopath .

He once invited his sister to watch. Because the film was quite scary, his sister could not bear to continue watching and reporting the incident to her father. Yusuf was eventually taken all out because of the report. Joseph did not regret, he was happy because he managed to make his little brother was frightened.

It's been a long time that the tape was placed in the drawer of the tv cabinet. Just as he was about to construct Ilyas, his eyes suddenly focused on the cassette which was out of place. And in the end he asked her that.

"Did you ever see a ghost?" Ilyas asked like trying to change the topic.

"Hmmmm.. used to be still SD I saw a beautiful woman wearing a light green shawl on her waist through front of my house when I again open the door. He did not walk, like flying, his feet were floating about 15 CM from the surface. As I look at it, my feet feel stiff like that, my mouth fit to talk like that. Anyway, it's like a statue. That's just that once anyway. Thank God I saw nothing else after that. That you?"

"I never have. But there are people I can see things like that. He said he had a sixth sense. Can you see what it is not afraid of? If I get paid anything, I won't want a sixth sense."

"I just want to have. It looked like it was cool that it could see a creature that not everyone could see," In such a confident tone he said.

"Seriously?" Ilyas chimed in with astonishment.

"hey are. Oh yes, your bike can be brought home tomorrow."

"But I don't have money to pay for it, bang" Ilyas was actually happy to hear the news. But on the other hand he was sad also because of the money problem .

"Udah need to put a face like that. I paid my money."

"Thank you bang. I don't know how to repay my brother's kindness ."

"Liet down. I am glad I can help. We're eating yuk mumpung not yet cold vegetables."

At the dinner table with rice in his mouth, Joseph actually wanted to talk about his future Ilyas. He wants Ilyas to connect his school again . He also wanted to persuade her to go home. But he did not want to offend her anyway he was happy to have friends at home again after a long time feeling lonely while at home.

Actually he didn't want Ilyas to come home. But on the one hand, he felt sorry for his parents. Although often fight but yes the time yes his son run away no one cares? When he finished washing the dishes, he kept thinking about it.

In the end he decided not to say anything about it. He also will not force if he says he wants to continue his school or he wants to work at that age. He won't force her to go home either. As long as he's here, it's okay. His life let him choose how. As long as it's not a bad thing it's okay.
