The Story of a Broken Man

The Story of a Broken Man
25. The Day That Ended



After the prayer Ashar Yusuf took a mobile phone to play the game. But when he looked at the screen, the notification of missed calls was clearly displayed there. He immediately called Fitri after finding out the call was on his behalf. His mind was fucked up because his girlfriend didn't usually call him.


Several times he called the results. No answer from him. An uneasy feeling overwhelmed him. Since there was no answer either, he finally gave up as well. Later that night he'll call her. At least while preparing the reason why he seemed to not care about her.


In the end he played with a feeling of unease. His mind was not on the one in front of him, but on the one who was far away. Someone who thinks is the ultimate life goal.


Joseph was sorry that he had fallen asleep, otherwise he would know what he was calling for. Actually, he also missed hearing the soft voice of his lover. But it's all over. There is no way to repeat the past.


"I'll be there when you need me. I promise," Joseph remembered the words he had spoken when he was just dating. Now it feels like these words are just meaningless sentences. It felt empty because there was no proof of it. Joseph failed to be a good boyfriend. He feels useless now.

"Home yok and close the zoo," asked his brother when Fitri was busy looking at the Nile horse.


"Yok . But it was like fitting to come here I saw someone selling grilled rice. I wonder where I feel. You've never tried it, either" Fitri agreed to leave the zoo. But before he got home he asked his brother to try food that he had never tasted.


"You're this. But comeon. Once the seller is beautiful so later you can eat grilled rice every day," with a smile he just say yes to his sister.


"What does it mean that the seller is beautiful so I can eat grilled rice every day?" Fitri actually understood 'em, but he wanted to be made clear again .


"Hmmm... What yes? Rather than straight up to the grilled rice that you said it was," he said casually as he walked towards the zoo exit that seemed to be starting to look lonely.


Not how long later they arrived at the shop in question. The one selling turned out to be a short-haired young lady. Her face was very beautiful, like an angel.


"Sir, I ordered one rice yes that the filling is not too painful whatever it wants to be filled," so that Fitri immediately ordered .


"Oh, okay. What if it's next to him?" the seller replied while asking.


"I stuff anything I want. Does she have a boyfriend?" What an unexpected word. Fitri was surprised to hear that. Shortly after the words came out, without thinking of anything Fitri immediately pinched his brother's waist as hard as he could .


"Yet. Just broke up, why?"


"That's okay," actually he wanted to seduce but seeing his sister's reaction finally the sentence was stuck in his throat.


"But I made it. Mending you wait in your seat."


"I'm nemenin you're here, okay? All I want to see how to wrap rice," the voice of a crocodile is spreading death seduction. I don't know why, if there is something beautiful it feels very dear to be left behind.


"Mode. It's good we sit down. Disturbed continue even the grilled rice did not become ," Fitri immediately dragged his brother's hand.

"Finally finished also the day's work. The first day of work . Fun isn't it?", Riski who was turning off the stove spoke to Ilyas .


"Mauro . Despite some distress, hopefully in the future will not repeat itself."


"It's still a matter of trouble. No one is smart the first time they try. The important thing is you do not give up, the damning thing is for sure your bus can go through well. Cool not my words?" with great confidence, even though he was not invited to chat, he said so.


"Let him be cool" Sinis Riski said.


"We're going home. Only yes if you want to be here please. No one forbids it" Riski who was washing her hands replied.


"Tomorrow to go rather quickly. You see, tomorrow we have an order taken in the morning" This time the one who said is Hasan.


The three of them then left the restaurant after locking it up. Before returning home, they took time to pray Ashar mumpung still there is time. They prayed in a mosque not far from where they worked.


The sunrays look yellow as they head to the parking area after prayers. This day that will happen is quite tiring . But Ilyas felt pleasure in his heart . He can't wait for the days to pass. He hopes the fun he has today will continue.

"Nak times the rice is grilled. Will continue to subscribe I if I think gini. Moreover, the sale of angels that dropped directly from the kahyangan," after one mouthful , his brother immediately commented.


"Say I want PDKT with him."


"Why indeed? Is it not wrong that I PDKT? I am single too she is the same . If I have a boyfriend, I accept it said wrong, "His brother protested when he heard the answer that sounded ketus .


"Not wrong. Thanks for today bang. If you want to be the same, I will support you. The guy looks good too."


"That's dong. A good sister indeed has to support her brother," looks sweet smile brother.


"Yes already. I want to rest in the room first," they ate grilled rice at home because Fitri refused to eat on the spot. Actually he was embarrassed to see his brother's behavior that seduced the grilled rice seller but he only said that he wanted to go home quickly.


Once there, Fitri immediately closed the bedroom door and then slept. He did not touch the cell phone he was staying on when he went to the zoo. He was too lazy to do it anyway.

"Where was that ? Smoothly?" as soon as he returned home, Ilyas who was tired was immediately questioned by Joseph.


"Not very smoothly anyway. But mending is there I got a good coworker. Even those who talk first. "


"Enaklah. How's boss? No chatter ?" Ask Joseph again.


"He's nongol just keep going somewhere. So you don't know me either."


"Oh that. What do you want me to do?" Joseph made an offer.


"What's it?"


"There's cabbage, carrots, spinach, kale, cauliflower."


"Hmmmm, the parchment looks steady. I asked for a pedal just the same as a long bean vegetable with anchovies."


"OK ready. Anything else?" Yusuf wields .


"That's aja. Yes, I took a bath first yes," Ilyas then stepped into the room to pick up a towel after which he immediately took a bath.


When he drops water on the body, somehow it feels so fresh . It turns out that bathing after a day of work feels very steady. He felt it was the best day he had gone through.
