The Story of a Broken Man

39. Proposal

Go home, Ilyas take a shower . Today he was unable to finish his job. I don't know why he felt so useless. While taking a shower, he continued to blame himself. This incident did not want him to repeat it again.

"Yes, come along I will not be invited to join my friend's proposal," as soon as finished Yusuf offered Ilyas.

"No. Don't know me either, it's just a daze over there . Different story if the brother who proposed. Do you have a girlfriend, anyway? How can I never see a brother on the road with a girl," Ilyas automatically said so .

"Have a girlfriend. Males just said it to you. In any case, if the same path is not possible, neither do you," Joseph did not accept the words uttered by Ilyas.

"Yes, I'm also lazy when invited. Yes, it's a mosquito repellent."

"That's why I don't want to talk to you. I cooked by myself tonight. I'll get ready to eat rendang later."

"Every boss. The problem is solved. Want to go to Masakin too?"

"And I told you to eat rendang. All you're full of," While tidying up the iron he just wore he said.

"Abang don't want to do so with his girlfriend's room Abang kayak his friend Abang?" A sentence that is conveyed casually sometimes feels good to the heart.

"It's pretty easy if that's the case. Doain was quick," Yusuf again said as he was wearing the shirt he was ironing earlier.

Ilyas immediately entered the room, slammed the body into the mattress while hugging a pillow. Today it feels like he wants to sleep as soon as possible so that tomorrow can leave as soon as possible. Before he finished his work he would not be satisfied.

"Let's hang out yok. If I don't know where I'll pick up, let me know your house too" Hasan's voice echoed in his ear. Coincidentally, when he was going home, Hasan gave his number.

"I want to. But I want to sleep fast. Do you know tomorrow I finish grating coconuts?" Ilyas told the truth.

"Well, what if now? It's been living the lights. Later the meal was placed in the refrigerator," It seems that Hasan was a little pushy.

"But it's not good anyway, less immediately. Tomorrow again," Hasan finally understood.

"I'm sorry. Next time I promise," Ilyas then hangs up.

"It's a proposal, really," when Joseph saw his friend he tried to make a joke. At home looks crowded people, it seems they are family members because his friend said only invite some of his close friends.

"Well, I'm a man. Not like you, dating married doang is not. If you don't want to be serious don't give false hope."

"anytime soon. Wait a minute, I will definitely follow you," Yusuf tried to be cool before his friend when in fact he got mental .

"I'm waiting for you . I think it's steady tomorrow to have a wife together to have children together too. I think steady, "His friend said as he pleased according to Joseph .

"I live first. I want to pick up the items that want to be taken to my candidate's place later," he immediately left.

Joseph had mixed feelings. On the one hand he likes to see his friend happy but on the one hand he is sad to see himself who has no progress. I want it to be as soon as possible a proposal too, but the problem is still about her parents Fitri . He felt a bad feeling about them.

That's what prevents him from communicating with his girlfriend even if he wants to. Tomorrow at the concert of his favorite musician Fitri, he is determined not to hesitate anymore. If it is a mate, even though there are obstacles, there will still be a way to unite as well.

"Hei Suf, why daydream?" Arif who came a little late from her immediately said as soon as he met her.

"Who is dreaming?"Yusuf dodged .

"I have good news. You know that pecel guy where we used to eat? She is now officially my girlfriend. It feels like immediately bringing to the pelaminan," Arif told me.

"Have a good luck. I also listened to him, finally my friend is not single again after a long time," Shaking his hand, Yusuf said with a big smile.

"Doain, may it last."

"definitely. When's dating?"

"Maybe Sunday night tomorrow. Let's just like a young man ,"

"What are you old?"

"Yes not yet, but I don't mean it's like that ."

Ilyas was still agitated in his bed, his eyes somehow could not be closed. Finally he decided to go out of the room, pick up a packet of noodles then cook it. Although working at home to eat, it does not mean he can cook. Sometimes I ask Yusuf to cook but it still feels a bit embarrassed to say.

The noodles are ready to be served to the bowl then immediately he ate . While eating he thought about what it would be like to stay home alone for years. It must be so quiet. Although free, because everything is done as you please. On the one hand it is steady, but there must be a very very lonely feeling.

He wondered why Joseph lived alone. If Ilyas was Joseph, he would not have been able to. Especially when heavy rain plus lightning, dead lights anyway. He was so scared of moments like that. Even if you fall asleep, you will wake up too. Besides it might be arranged.

After everything was done, Yusuf immediately prepared to take a car to accompany his friend who was going to do the proposal. Actually he had better ride his bike, but he was forced to get in the car. Fortunately, he was not drunk when riding a four-wheeled vehicle or more.

The luggage carried by the man who was about to propose turned out to be a lot. There are fruit, sponge cake, and other treats. It must be hard to prepare everything. But yes as heavy as anything will certainly be well prepared.

But yes enough, Joseph looked carefully at all his luggage. Let tomorrow if the application he already knows so it is not difficult to prepare everything carefully.
