The Story of a Broken Man

51. Dreams Before dawn

Joseph wept when the cold body was found on the bank of the river. The sweet and warm figure is now no more. There was nothing he could do but cry within the crowd . The lover of the heart seems to have preceded him forever. He left with a face full of sadness.

Until his home, he was immediately greeted by a family who looked very sad. Even her mother looks faint when she sees the stiff face of her only daughter. Joseph could not say a word. His life feels like it's ruined. Inwardly he wanted to catch up with her as well to a realm that he could not yet see.

Before his girlfriend's wedding happened he did not come to his house to congratulate her. But a news came saying that the bride ran away from her home when everyone was off guard against her. Maybe when he ran away the day did not look like dawn had arrived. Where everyone is asleep in their sleep.

When morning came, he said things became chaotic and chaotic because the bride was not everywhere like disappearing from the earth. Coercion usually leads to bad things. There is nothing to do but look for it.

After being buried, a body resembling his girlfriend came to say that all the suffering he experienced was Joseph's fault for not being able to be firm with him. His girlfriend said that Joseph was selfish. He also said that Joseph did not want to take risks to maintain his love. All the other stuff is also thrown.

Joseph woke up again from his sleep. It seems like his condition is worse than the first dream. While sitting on the edge of the mattress he allowed all the swearing thrown at him. Everything said by a body resembling his girlfriend is true.

This time he really tried not to sleep anymore. He was afraid that he would dream of Fitri again. He did not want to see Fitri who died in his dream because he had to bear his attitude which is not the nature of a man. I don't know why it feels like he really failed this time to be a man . He hates that thought, but he admits it.

The dawn prayer seems to be sounding soon, maybe it's good if he takes a shower first. It is better to refresh the body while calming the mind than to keep thinking about it. Actually the important thing is not to think about it, it is better if he removes the doubts in him.

"Why are you sleeping in front of Yas TV?" when he came out of the room he saw Ilyas not usually sleeping there.

"I couldn't sleep. I kept hearing there was a thief, so yeah I was chasing making. When I go home I feel lazy to sleep in my room. So I slept here, "he told me why he could sleep there .

"I don't know whose name I am" he replied honestly .

"It's important that the vines are already cupped, right?"

"Not yet, but it seems he won't be here again for some time."

"What is missing?"

"Motor seems to. "

"There's nothing else, is there?"

"I think it's just a motorcycle . I'm horrified of the people anyway, he said the motorbike is like that is in great demand so yes maybe the reason is stolen yes it, make it sold again."

"Yes, I took a bath, yes" Joseph immediately left him.

"Yes already. If there is a problem about romance do not hesitate to tell me the same story, yes" replied Ilyas. He had actually heard the words spoken by Joseph. It only seems that if you go straight into the room and find it impolite. That's why he let himself bring out all his complaints.

Joseph was silent to hear it, in his heart he was ashamed to hear Ilyas say so . Actually more prestige, however he wants to look cool in front of him. But yes maybe next time he will vent also with her.

If he gets married, his wife will be his sister-in-law too. Although there was no blood relation or even he only knew her now, but Ilyas was already considered as his own sister. He was as dear to her as he was to his biological sister who had long gone before him. His life also didn't feel too lonely after he lived in a house that looked big enough for himself.
