The Story of a Broken Man

73. First Day

The dawn that had shown signs of his emergence woke Joseph from his slumber. I actually kind of slept in the new room. Besides, his friend was still asleep. He seems very tired. Just go home the clock showed at 01:00 when he came home. Actually Joseph did not know for sure what time it was also, when his friend came home he woke up briefly .

The cuisine he deliberately prepared for his friend last night may now be up, Yusuf immediately rubbed his eyes then prepared to go to the mosque. Actually he rarely went to the mosque at dawn but today I don't know what time he tumben once went to the mosque .

The congregation is about half a row, indeed if the morning is common if the worship is a little although the mosque looks very wide. As he remembered in his city before he had never met a mosque of this size. His page also seemed to be twice as many as he had ever met.

When he finished, he immediately prepared to take a bath and cook. Although other work he is lazy, but when it comes to cooking gini he is very excited. He used to be a child once aspired to be a chef, until now he also still dreams of it. Although not granted, but he was happy to still be able to cook well.

The sun was very bright, Joseph immediately got on his bike and went to where he works now. It was very strange what he saw. When he entered he went straight to the manager's room first to inform him that he had now been moved from his old office.

After his affairs were completed, he was guided to the place where he would sit. Joseph did not expect to be sitting next to the table of his friend who had once cried on that long past night. He said he was going to get married last time, but there was no news. Could this be the wedding?

Joseph was silent as he sat next to him. Although familiar but this time it feels very awkward to start a chat. Joseph himself did not understand. Usually he starts chatting but this time it feels really hard to start a chat.

"You were transferred here, don't you say?"ask her friend to relax . It was like there was no burden to say something.

"Where do I know that you moved here too. What about the wedding?"

"Cancel, he died the night before Ijab kabul. The preparation is already very mature. But yes if it's fate so want how again?"

"Innalilahi wa innailaihi roji. Time knows left for good your expression how?"

"Sad is for sure, but I don't want to be constantly sad. Poor him there too so unhappy, "he replied. It must have hurt a lot back then. The day that should be a witness of a happy life even became the day he drove the candidate away. Although never felt but Joseph knew what it was like.

"Hopefully get a replacement quickly yes . I just lost my girlfriend too. She left me because her parents had arranged her with someone else who was definitely more than me . It hurts a lot of oaths, but want to maintain also I do not have anything to make him happy. I know cowards, but maybe this is the best."

"If your thinking is so I think you won't get a partner . How huh? Not a thing has given up," who responded visibly saying in a somewhat condescending tone, Joseph was silent because he would say the same thing as himself.

"Ki, your parents go a lot?" Ask Ilyas .

"Lumayan, why is it?"

"That means you've been sleeping alone in a house where no one is?"

"Why apparently?"

"It's just that."

"Are you sleeping alone at home? Be careful when someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night while calling your name but when opened the person does not exist. I've been there a few times" Riski doesn't know what Ilyas means. But with a little clear picture he might understand a little. For some reason, just spontaneously arose a sense of prank to scare his junior was .

"What time?"

"Try me. Maybe if only last night two tombs, but later will ngalamin itself. Her voice was serem times," seeing Ilyas who seemed to believe made Riski even more eager to nudge her.

"Don't believe him, the idol knows!" Hasan who heard Riski's words responded with a bit of a sewot. He could not accept Ilyas being colonized like that.

"If you're afraid call me. Guaranteed to be safe."

"Sepele your time. It's up to you."

"Next night you won't stay at home? I'm alone, '" Ilyas offered both of them an offer.

"I am Yes" replied Hasan.

"I am also Yes" Riski followed.

"I'm sorry yes, I said it too much earlier," during Joseph's lunch break who was busy eating at his friend who was apologizing. Joseph did not really bother about it. What he said was true. Any girl who wants to be the same coward. The words of the doang will not impress anyone. What is needed is not mere speech, but real action.

"Liet down. No need to feel guilty . I sometimes think so, too," said Yusuf then spooned the rice into his mouth.

"Really?"

"Yes. You don't understand me, either. Been long enough when we know," replied Joseph relaxed.

"You don't eat?" Yusuf.

"Later on. I am fasting as well. Tomorrow we go up the mountain! We'll see the sun rise and set from the top of the mountain."

"When did you get up the mountain? It's not fasting now either."

"I don't know why I've been so crazy lately climbing mountains. Speaking of fasting, actually it does not matter also want the month or not the important intention. Yeah, I just wanted to say that. Don't forget tomorrow's weekend!" After saying that, he immediately left.

Joseph took a long breath. Inwardly he wanted to nag because his friend said without waiting for his approval. It's bad it's people. The effect of being left by her boyfriend seems to have made her brain a little bit.

"You really didn't invite us to sleep in your house?" Ask Hasan to make sure. He was afraid of just pranks. You see, in this sophisticated era, sometimes there are people who are like that. Slightly said it was just prank .

"Seriously you know. I'm not lying" Ilyas tried to convince.

"It just so happens that tomorrow is off too" Riski said.

"Really Ki?" tanya Ilyas less trust .

"Yes seriously. I was on the phone with the big boss. We'll be home soon. But tomorrow comes here a little afternoon for trading."

"Finally after a long time of work," His face Hasan seemed to radiate an infinite happiness.

"Yes, we'll see you in my house out of the Maghrib."

"Beres is the hell."
