The Story of a Broken Man

The Story of a Broken Man
35. Dusk Fear



It is so beautiful in a city that is not too crowded. Yusuf was casually riding a motorcycle that had many stories. This beauty, do not want to be missed. Almost every day he felt it.


When he got home, he immediately took a shower to refresh himself. While waiting for Ilyas to come home, Joseph cooked the vegetables he bought earlier in the shop and returned home. This time he sauteed kale, his favorite dish. When everything was done, the sound of his phone rang.


"Hello, do you know the person who owns this phone?" A heavy voice sounded from the phone .


"What's up? What's going on?" Yusuf panicked because he had a bad feeling . Especially for the first time someone else called her . Something that is almost impossible to happen. Because his sister is very possessive of everything he has even if it is useless to him.


"The person who had this phone had a very bad accident. Now he's in the hospital. But unfortunately his life was not helped," a sorrowful voice sounded very clearly.


"It's a joke, right?"


"If you don't believe me, please come to the hospital by yourself. It might hurt, but we're telling the truth," after which the phone is switched off.


Heartbroken, Joseph came to the hospital in question. He saw his sister's face covered in cloth. There was still blood on his body that slowly dried up. With such a sad feeling, he hugged his dead sister.  Tears poured down from my two eyes.


His breathing was tight, in his mind he wanted to scream as loud as possible . His feet feel so weak. Really sad.


The funeral was held that night. With his heart still unrepentant, Joseph buried his poor brother. He was trying hard at that time.


***


Two years since that incident. He never forgot that twilight. That incident really did make a wound in his heart. The incident happened shortly after his father died. If he could catch up, Joseph would have preferred to come too.


Joseph planned to propose to her. Accompanying those lonely nights. Living that day is not comfortable at all. But his name is destiny, sad even though it must be lived.


When everything peaked, he once wanted to kill himself using a knife. He plans to slash his veins . But in the final seconds he threw away his knife and cried.


In fact he can't do it. He wants to live longer, however. Ending life in such a sad way will not make him die with a smile .


He was afraid of losing again, he was content to feel it. That was why he was acting too much towards Ilyas. He was conscious, but he couldn't help but act like that.

As Joseph approached Ilyas after putting the candle he had lit, everything was very bright. It turned out to be the lights again.


"You want me to teach you how to make a cell phone with Yas? Let me call later if you want to call me not confused," Yusuf said that when he was near Ilyas who was sitting on the edge of the mattress.


"May," he answered, taking his new cell phone.


"We learned it outside of yok" Ilyas asserted . After that the two of them exited the room towards the wider living room.
