The Story of a Broken Man

61. Ice Cream Drama

Scorching afternoon, while rubbing his sore eyes Joseph continued to think about the date that will be passed later tonight, he said, although he had done it many times but somehow he felt a bit worried because the previous date did not go as expected. The ring that should be coiled in Fitri's pinky has not yet been realized. He hopes to do it soon even though he himself is not sure he can do it.

Always he remembered Kamila, the former who used to say that he preferred others as he prepared to propose to her. It hurt so much, even when he thought about dying alone, but he was reluctant to do because from the bottom of his heart he still wanted to find happiness in a world full of tricks.

In addition, he also still dreams of Fitri asking himself to bring escape because he does not want to be betrothed. Although only a dream that he said was just a sleeping flower, but somehow it feels like real. He was so scared, especially sometimes his nightmares come true. What if it happens too? Somehow he will act, maybe he will do something bad to himself.

Joseph realized he was a coward, but he wanted to go forward as well as everyone else. He doesn't want to be a loser forever. Whatever the risk, he will accept it with a big heart.

Actually, the break was over, but somehow Joseph had an ice cream cravings . Rather than thinking of something uncertain, it is better to taste something that can be refreshing. Ice cream is an option because it also pingin.

He headed to the minimarket next door. He went straight to the place where the ice cream was. But unfortunately when you want to pay at the cashier, there is an ex and his family are shopping. In an instant, he felt sorry for having entered the minimarket.

"Hi Suf, are you married yet?" the husband, aka his friend who used to betray, said casually as if nothing had happened to him. And again the question posed by him was a bit how too. Yes, when a new person meets directly ask when the wedding. Then Joseph was not forced to also no longer want to deal with the person in front of him. He hated her for taking away people's happiness.

"Just a minute, yes" answered Joseph . Actually he is not sure about getting married in the near future, but his name is a word he said prayer so he hopes to be granted soon.

"Not taken by the candidate?"

"How are you going to be taken ? I'm still working. It's not possible to have a working relationship."

"Yes too. A job where you look good the next time I see your shirt?"

"In the office next to this minimarket."

"Oh, must be a good position ."

"Not really, by the way tumben shopping here you?"

"Oh that. Yes, I did first, yes" After paying Joseph to leave immediately. The ice cream he had bought was lazy to taste even though he bought his favorite ice cream .

It feels like ex-ghosts, everywhere. Came uninvited go also not delivered exactly jalangkung. How does it feel to want to move to work outside the city so as not to meet ex. But his position at work is quite good , if the move must start again from zero. It feels just a pity, already struggling even left just like that.

Instead of being left alone finally by being forced to wrap ice cream then he bit with a big bite. Actually quite gritted his teeth too, but he did not care. Counts all vent hatred to traitors. Friends are happy to eat friends.

Rif, have you ever met your ex-husband and his son?" when the ice cream ran out, Yusuf immediately entered the office and asked Arif something.

"No. Did you forget that I don't have an ex?"

"What time?"

"If there was a storm first. He's just married, has kids now. I usually see it. Even happy to see him happy. Why apparently?"

"It's just. Once upon a time, I needed a reference to write a novel."

"Kok I'm not sure? Your face is not convincing. By the way you just saw the former happy with other people and you still do not want to. Pantes is now unmarried. This is apparently the reason, "Arif actually said casually, but somehow his last sentence felt tight to Joseph's chest.

"It has nothing to do with it now. Why is it still the same as last time?"

"I didn't say that. You're the one who talked."

"Oh yes, I want to continue my work first" Joseph did not know what else to say. Apparently he died a flea. By acting like children he immediately left Arif .
