The Story of a Broken Man

65. About Matchmaking

"I'm sorry Suf, it's all my fault. I hope you hate me. Although it hurts but it's better for you," while hugging the pillow, Fitri said alone while crying. Even though he told Joseph to leave him, there was still a great pain in his heart.

The view of the night rain from the window of his room. I think he wants to get out. He had a hunch that Joseph was somewhere spilling his emotions in the rain. He wanted to embrace and comfort her, even though it was now impossible.

"I forced you to promise, but I broke it. I'm stupid, why the hell do you have to know me? If you knew someone else, you would be happy now" Fitri muttered. He remembers the day he once dated at a restaurant that he said was romantic. There Fitri asked desperately for Joseph to promise not to leave him no matter what.

I saw a photo of the closeness of the two of them. Those laugh-filled days are far away now. It is no longer possible to repeat all of that . The conversation he had with his mother was the cause, he still could not believe it but he could not do anything about it.

"You remember Daniel, right?"

"Daniel who?" Fitri asked. Just want to make sure that the name is not used by one person. There are hundreds or perhaps millions of people using the same name.

"Daniel is your little friend."

"Oh that, she's not she's been missing a few years ago huh?"

"He's back again. Actually, he was found when you were in the hospital. But because the condition is also still amnesia so yes there is no intention to tell you this. Now that his memory is recovering, he asks you constantly like he has feelings for you."

"Eh really?"

"Yes. After all, it's only natural that you'll marry him."

"Married him? Mean what? I don't get it. I have a boyfriend too."

Like lightning striking in broad daylight. Fitri was shocked to hear that. He really did not expect.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"No.

"What if I refuse? I never had any feelings for her anyway" Fitri conveyed her heart's objections.

"What reason do you have to refuse? About taste it's easy. Later also if you are married will arise love by itself. Papa same Mama also used to be betrothed, even we have never spoken before until now can last. "

"But it...."

"Udah, don't wear it but. You should be with mom. If you are determined to marry her, mother will not give her blessing forever. You also won't be considered a child anymore."

When remembering the conversation delivered by his mother last night it felt like he wanted to die . As a child he had to obey the will of his parents, but as a human he wanted to choose his own way of life. After all who undergo is also not his parents, why are they forced to accept a given soul mate without any taste?

Daniel, he's known her since childhood. The guy is nice, handsome too, but likes female playin. Fitri does not know the reason, which is clear as long as he knows him he has always been. Fitri became afraid to obey his parents' will. I wanted to run away, but he didn't have the courage. Although Daniel never played with him, but the fear continues to increase.

In contrast to Joseph who looks more mature even though sometimes a little childish. He always seemed to think a hundred times before acting. He seems loyal too. Why should there be a match? If only not sure Fitri prefers Yusuf to be his companion until the end of life.

When he met Joseph earlier during the trip he imagined what would happen if he said about his betrothal. He felt very guilty because Joseph was the best man for him. When Joseph offered to pick him up, he would not.
