The Story of a Broken Man

The Story of a Broken Man
31. Lies at Dusk



Ilyas was still thinking about what Hasan said this morning. He still doubted the truth of the story before seeing it for himself. But he was confused how. There's no effective way to follow Riski home. Though from noon he thought about it, but still did not meet.


The plan, coming home from work he wants to play to Riski's house. Let everything be clear. Once upon a time Hasan said . But he was actually reluctant to tell Riski.


"Anu...., can I not end this I play to your house?" as Riski was locking the door of the restaurant, Ilyas forced himself to say.


"Hmmm ... " Rissy seemed to think first. Looks like something's stuck.


"Can," After thinking for a long time Riski finally allowed it.


"Really?"


"Yes," Riski answered somewhat forcedly. There was a sense of reluctance, but he had no other reason that sounded reasonable.

"Yok in, we've arrived," Maybe about half an hour drive finally to Riski's house. It looks good from the outside too. The house, although not so wide, looks good. With pale yellow painted concrete walls.


Ilyas followed him into the house. He sat down in a chair made of wood. While Riski went inside to take a shower. Not long after, Riski who already looks fresher came out with a drink.


"What a big house? I understand that I am left again. My parents went to brother's place again. He said there was an event there, wanted to take me but I got a job," after offering Riski a drink said so.


"What way?"


"There's my brother married. Maybe in a week, he said he would like to join the spell," he said again.


"When did you come?" Ilyas suddenly.


"You're a little girl talking about marriage. Marriage is not that easy, there are many things that must be prepared. Different again the same cat, mating every day does not care about him . Oh yeah, you just graduated Junior High and want to work? What school no more?" Instead of talking about marriage, find another topic.


"Maybe if school wants to. But yes, circumstances that require this. How are you gonna do it again?"


"The situation that requires? What's wrong?"


"Where did he say. Anyway the story is really long if it is related."


"the point is if it's ."


"Yes that's the point, anyway," Ilyas didn't know what to say. He also did not want to tell about his parents.


"Sane you are," Riski really did not understand Ilyas' words earlier.


"Hasan never been here?" Ilyas tried to find another topic. He really can't say anything else about it.


"Ear once twice first. But now that I never come here again, I also rarely go to his house. . It's just that if we want to play often we just hang out. "


"Normally where do you hang out?"


"No sure. Sometimes on the side of the road, sometimes in cafes" replied Riski.


"Where is that guy?"


"He's a good guy, understanding, playboy too. Once dating can be 3 or sometimes 5 at once. But he was faithful . Mainin chick like that is actually just an impingement because his girlfriend cheated. But I hope one day he can change."
