The Story of a Broken Man

The Story of a Broken Man
48.After the After Concert



Half an hour has passed since the concert. I don't know why it feels like running away. Joseph could not feel what others felt. If it wasn't for her boyfriend, she certainly wouldn't.


In front of his girlfriend, he tries to enjoy it. Time seemed long, in the festivities of the event Joseph felt that his time had stopped. I don't know why, which is exactly how he feels.


It was seen Fitri who was engrossed himself singing . A smile adorned her beautiful lips. Although not enjoying, seeing him smile has made Joseph happy. Tonight seems not going to go as he imagined, but he is still happy to see his heart happy.


An hour passed, a little more he was finally able to enjoy the musical performance. Think about the music too. Slowly but surely he ended up getting late in the concert too. The next time he might be going to follow his concert again if there was a chance, that was how he thought.


The concert finally broke up after two hours of walking. The time that had felt so long somehow became tasteless. It's weird, but that's how it feels. That night he was satisfied to see Fitri's smile that looked very wide.

"Thank you for tonight. This isn't the last one, is it?" While eating at a stall, Fitri uttered a sentence that felt very stifling.


"No. I hope not . I want to be able to stay with you. "


"Why hasn't there been any news from yesterday? Minimum SMS or phone call. It's nothing at all . I'm going to pingin," finished bribing the rice Fitri immediately evaporate all the contents of his heart.


"I want you to focus on your health first. Long time in the hospital I think when out you need your own space to enjoy life that you never felt."


"I need you too. No pity what I am, '" Fitri's face looked pouted.


"I promise, from tomorrow I'll keep you informed. I'll keep calling you ."


"Yes promise?" fitri stretched out her tiny little finger.


"Yes promise" Joseph welcomed the finger by linking his little finger . The two little fingers interlocked with each other their sign promised something .


"What am I breaking for? It's no use either."


Joseph was silent, there was actually something he wanted to talk about. But is it true he's saying that now? How does his doubt become more widespread, huh? Joseph hated his nature, but he could not get rid of it. It is really sad, he said in his heart when he remembered himself.


"Oh yeah, there's a night market around here, isn't there? I miss messing around in the night market. We haven't been playing at the night market?" Joseph tried to find another topic. He did not want to ruin the atmosphere.


"It's this hour. Is someone open?"


"Either. I haven't eaten either. At least '" Joseph was confused as to what to say.


"I want to go straight home. Fear of being sought. My parents are coming home soon, I don't want them to get home first" Fitri said later.


"I think it's a good idea, later if we're married, there's no need to be afraid your parents will nyariin again" said Yusuf.


"When?"


"What?"


"His marriage" Fitri responded immediately to Joseph's words. His words sounded slow but quite poignant as well.


"A little while."


"Don't be long."
