The Story of a Broken Man

15. The Sad Story of a Man

On a lonely night, the stars scattered across the night sky looked brighter than usual. Looking out the window, Joseph looked for his lucky star. Actually he did it not to contact Fitri . Actually he was very longing, but this time he wanted to hold back first. It was done because he was confused, will be taken where the relationship that has been two years running.

At that time, he was actually just a runaway after he was left behind by his girlfriend who cheated on him with his own friend. His mind at that time was so shallow, but the sense of slowly pervading every part of his body. From what was originally just an escape is now the purpose of life.

What makes him refrain from contacting him is the attitude of his parents who are getting here like they do not like him. He didn't know why, which was obvious when he met them. It's just that they're still reluctant to tell the truth.

Now how is Fitri? What is he doing? It feels like a puzzle now. The question as above seemed to fill his brain even more.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door was heard aloud, making Joseph aware of his erratic thoughts. Open the door immediately. After opening, a man stood with his face down. He seems to be experiencing a lot of sadness.

"Why are you crying?" as soon as he saw the person in front of him, he said so. Just the time he faced someone like that. That was the only word he could say.

"Oh yes, go in first. Then tell me what happened. I must have helped as much as I could," Joseph immediately told him to come in.

After his guest entered, he immediately made a drink so that he could be calmer. That person, just this time he saw her face like that. Usually he is a person who has a cheerful face, like there is almost no problem.

"I'm sorry the nights came disturbing," as he drank the drink he was serving, the man said with the same face as earlier.

"Liet down. We're friends."

"You think it's wrong if I'm still hoping for the same person who wants me to be with someone else?" ask the guy.

"You mean..??" Joseph did not understand.

"My girlfriend, she's got cancer. In order for her condition not to get worse, her uterus had to be removed. He asked me to find someone else after the operation actually happened. I don't know what to do. In any case, I don't want to leave him. I just want him to be. Is that wrong?" His voice was depressed.

"Not wrong. There is nothing wrong with your attitude . You did what you were supposed to do, "Jusuf answered calmly .

"But why ? Why does it have to be like this? If I'm not wrong why should we split up?"

"Does God control everything? But why should it be arranged this way? why was I destined to meet him and then he told us to split up? God is weird, isn't he?" His face looked as if he was upset by the fate given to him.

"Why do people find it easy to do what they want? Why do they all get what they want?" continued. His eyes slowly shed tears. It seems he is trying to let go of the burden of his mind.

Yusuf quiet. He doesn't know what to say. He was in the same condition as it was. In the past, when he parted with his ex he also felt the same sadness. Sadness, wanting to not believe the reality. At the time, he felt like the saddest person. Plus his sister died not long ago. The increased loneliness made him want to just disappear from this world . But he refused to do it. He wanted to live longer, that was how he thought when he was about to do that.

At that time, he felt that God was unfair. Just playing with his feelings. God is really selfish. Those difficult times have really passed now as time goes on.

"What your boyfriend thinks is not easy. He would not want to separate from you. In his heart there must be a fear of parting with you. Overweight you. Heavier still than your girlfriend," Joseph finally got better words than before.

"Losing a uterus for a woman is the most painful thing for them. No woman wants her uterus removed. It felt like their future had been forcibly snatched away," Yusuf continued.

"I know how you feel. Reflect well. If I were him, I would do the same. He just wants you to be happy."

" He's stupid, I'm just as stupid. Is there no way to make us both happy?" that person seemed to be starting to calm down now.

"I don't know. He thought that if you were with him you would not be able to have children, while the purpose of getting married one of them is to have children Are you ready to risk it ?" Joseph's words just got better. Every word that was spoken from his mouth seemed to flow just like that, he himself wondered why he could say that.

"He's afraid you're not ready for it. Perhaps that was the consideration he thought most of all."

"I'm ready. As long as I can be with him I am ready with all the risks. Have children or not, as long as we can be happy why not?"

"Today you can say that. Maybe after marriage it will be a different story. Think carefully . Let there be no regrets between you, "Yusuf feels like a motivator on the TV show . It feels cool to talk like that. He also if in the same position will not necessarily do the things he said earlier. It seems that the man now his heart condition has improved. He spent the rest of the drink in the glass.

"Thank you for beating me up. Good thing I have your tea. I was confused who would want to tell the same story. My thoughts were too childish, right?" his tone of voice was now completely calm. His face was as invisible as the last time Joseph saw it.

"Liet down. His name is reasonable . Next time do not hesitate to tell the same story I will be horrified whatever it is.

"I'll go home first . Sorry to have taken care of it," after saying so, he immediately left .

Joseph was happy to see her smiling. He is grateful to be useful to others. The stars scattered in the sky were lost swallowed up by the cloud. It looks like it will be raining big tonight. After closing the door, he immediately headed to the room. When you want to sleep, the sound of rain sounds very noisy .
