The Story of a Broken Man

70. Last Night

It has been almost a week since he was notified of his transfer to headquarters. A lot has happened since then. He regularly visited the graves of his brother and father for several days. He felt the need to do it because he could never see it again .

It feels like he's upset himself. The closer to her beauty day, the less she wants to leave. He wanted to refuse, but on the other hand, he felt like leaving. He became confused himself with himself who wanted two things to the contrary.

On the last night, Joseph invited Ilyas to eat out and enjoy the night that would happen again. Actually, they kept their promise. When Ilyas was informed of his transfer, he only requested that Joseph spend the last night with him.

It may sound strange to some, but he thinks it is something natural considering the relationship that is built and both are as brothers and sisters. A lot of things were done that night. Watching the cinema, eating in restaurants, playing in the night market, and so on. When they got home, they went back to watching a movie called "Buntung Head Ghost" . Actually the movie tapes in his house were not just that, it was just because it was the most challenging so yes that night they watched the movie.

"Tonight if you sleep together? Just once," as he was about to get ready for bed somehow Ilyas looked very spoiled.

"Tomorrow my brother has left. I don't know why it feels so good to sleep together. Tomorrow night I will sleep alone in this house" continued Ilyas.

"Hmmm, how are you?" Joseph was shocked when he heard Ilyas' unusual words. For the first time since knowing him, Ilyas has been acting like that. Joseph wanted to exclaim Ilyas when he heard his words just now. Even though Joseph did not think, he still did not want to show his taste.

"Yes . You go to bed first, I'm busy cleaning up tomorrow" replied Joseph finally. Perhaps Ilyas had his own reasons, which is what Joseph thought when asserting them.

"Do you want help?"

"No need, just be done again," answered Joseph who was seen still folding his clothes. When he finished, he went straight to bed. As soon as he remembered his brother's death, whenever Joseph wanted to go far he would not want to be left . There was just a reason to keep asking him to be around. The days that had passed had always succeeded in making Joseph nostalgic.

"Why?" ask Yusuf.

"You're here tomorrow?" ask the caller.

"So. But maybe I'll be there in the afternoon because I'm leaving tomorrow morning" replied Joseph. The one who called was a journalist friend. Because it happened that his new workplace was not far from his friend's boarding house, so he planned to boarding there too mumpung no friend he knew as well.

"Tomorrow I have a duty to cover the trial of the commander who killed his aide. That's the problem with brigadier Z. If for example again not at home fitting you come do not be confused yes later I love the duplicate to the person next to my boarding house."

"Ready. What's it like covering a story for a few weeks?"

"Bosen taste. But quite a bit of money, even though I still want to finish. Case like a soap opera, not finished. The opposites involved people in all."

"Yes, the story has been continued tomorrow, yes, I have to get up early so I can leave at dawn" Joseph immediately hung up the phone and went straight to the bed where Ilyas was. He looked at Ilyas seriously, for some reason it felt like he was becoming more and more like his long-lost brother. Joseph could not bear to leave him alone.

Actually Ilyas when told about the move he seemed to not like it. With various explanations he finally accepted it as well. After all, without this kind of thing also one day they will separate also for many reasons . Whether it is because of marriage or something else, as long as the media to communicate still exists, although separated by a long distance there is still a connection between them.
