The Story of a Broken Man
30. For A Better Future
During the day, the rain that subsided from earlier still left a wet aroma on the streets that looked quite crowded. Puddles of water are still visible on the streets that never rest. Seen several vehicles pass through it without caring for the splash of water.
Joseph walked among the crowd, this time intending to stop by Jamila's stall. It's been a long time since he's been there. Last time, he came to the shop with Joseph. It was also forced.
"Tumben stopped by here, "Jamila was in shock. For the first time Joseph came alone.
"The Arif doesn't exist. Can't you?"
"By kok . What do you want to order?"
"Just a pecker."
"No coffee?"
"No. Where is Arif today?"
"Hurt him. Most just fever, tomorrow also healed," Joseph answered casually.
"Aren't you freaking out about your friend being sick?"
"No."

"Whatever the choice is there must be its own risk. Most importantly we do not regret what will happen in the future," Joseph recalled last night's chat. He knows what he means, but still there will be regret .
His friend was amazing. He could forget his deep sadness at being hit because he knew the woman he loved had her uterus removed. He still remembers the night when he knocked on his door crying. And now , he's not even bothered about the problem.
In the near future, he said he would make a proposal sign he was serious with him. Whether he had a child or not, he gave it all to God. The most important thing for him is the happiness of his partner. He looks like a real man . Joseph was jealous of her.

"Eh, yes," Joseph with a consciousness that has not yet fully returned to answer.
"Are you really not married?" after scooping Joseph so.
'Why 'Why?"
"Nothing. You remember me, right?"
When he heard Joseph say that, Jamila was shocked. This time he felt that Joseph was possessed. Jamila still recognized him even though his appearance was now slightly changed. Maybe it's the age factor too. But still cool too.
"If so, why?" Jamila couldn't make better words, that was all that came out of her mouth.
"I'm sorry about the incident the other day. At that time I was very rude," Yusuf dizzy also had to say what else. He ultimately prefers to go straight to the heart of the conversation.
"No problem though. Just relax. I know the reason. You must be angry, right the same time?" Jamila recalled the moment to the day that she had unwittingly teased Joseph like a bad woman. Until now, the sentence he had said was always ringing.
"Liet down. I've been trying to forget. And that's part and there's no need to argue anymore. It feels stale to be discussed now. No matter how bad the past was, most importantly such a thing did not happen again" Joseph said like a wise man who was giving advice .
"In the first place since that incident, I just realized what I did . I play with women's hearts as if they were toys. I was having doubts about love at the time. I can't take it when you say I'm a lowly creature, but I'm glad because from then on I just wanted one that really loved each other. But apparently it was not easy," His words were long, as if they were flowing.
"After a long time of not dealing with love, I finally found a girl I liked even though we had never talked before. With reckless capital, I invite to talk but he refuses outright. What an interesting girl. For the first time I fought to win the heart of a girl I liked. Usually, you just choose to. But yes unfortunately had to run aground in the middle of the road. But yes not the soul mate want how anymore," His speech sounds longer.
"The point is that now I've been worrying about something that has happened for a long time. I just want to live for a better future. Although it's not easy I want to forget the unpleasant things in the past," Although it's been a long talk, he still said again.
"Yes, then. Thank you for apologizing for my mistake first. You take care of the warung bentar! I'm going to the store next door. There's something I need to buy, "Without waiting for Joseph's answer, Jamila went to leave him alone.
