The Story of a Broken Man

The Story of a Broken Man
32. Brotherhood



After a day of work, together with the afternoon that looks yellowed Yusuf drove his vehicle. Today he decided not to overtime. The unfinished work will be done tomorrow.


Before returning home, he stopped by a restaurant not far from his place of work. In exchange for the mess that happened that night. But the next time he wanted to eat at home. I can't wait to get home soon.


When he got home, he immediately entered. It feels lonely, just like being alone at home. Those boring days are thankfully over. Although it was a coincidence, Joseph was lucky.


Immediately he put two packs of rice Padang at the table then he immediately took a shower. An afternoon shower is best. Although sometimes lazy to do it, but still he did. According to him, during the afternoon shower there is freshness that envelops his body.

"Actually Hasan is in love with the woman who became her boyfriend first. Maybe that's because he's not ready to be left" Riski said seriously.


"Still in love but playin' another girl how does that mean?" Ilyas really doesn't understand.


"Nrance . I actually don't understand that kind of thing. But I've seen a movie like that. Maybe it's because he can't have his end looking for an impingement with another girl."


"The more I explain, the more I don't understand?" After drinking the prepared drink, Ilyas said so.


"You are still a child, later also if you know it yourself. But hopefully not."


"If you ever dated?"


"Want to try the original. But seeing Hasan as such because of one girl, I didn't want to."

Second by second, the minutes kept passing. Half an hour of waiting was over, he immediately took the jacket and left. He was afraid of something bad happening . He did not want that to happen again. Just once, he didn't want it to happen again. This time he swore, if the same thing happened like that day again he would rather die . He will not hesitate anymore, his determination is more rounded than the last time he intended to commit suicide.


The main purpose is certainly the restaurant where Ilyas works. He remembers the location well. Arriving there turned out to be locked padlock. In his heart he was very afraid if he lost a sister for the second time, even though this one had no blood relation.

"I go home first. I think that over time here is also not good. Afraid to be searched because I have not told the same people home," Ilyas immediately said goodbye to Riski when remembering Joseph . For some reason, he felt that Joseph was worried about him.


"Yes already. See you tomorrow! Remember the way home, right?"


"Still dong" answered Joseph. He still wants to stay at Ilyas' house, but maybe this time will be enough. Tomorrow is still unfolding. The chance to meet is still there.

After knowing that the restaurant had been locked tightly, it felt worried that it was increasing many times over. He doesn't know where to look . Want to go home to check if he has gone home or not but as he remembered earlier he did not see Ilyas riding his motorcycle to the house.


Yusuf was silent on his motorcycle while looking for the most possible place . But still there was no answer in his brain. At a time like this, I just want to die. He felt useless like that day. Slowly, her tears fell gently.
