The Story of a Broken Man

80. Mount Up

Joseph breathlessly walked through the foot of the mountain, which seemed impossible to him. The journey is just beginning, but it feels like Joseph just wants to give up. The effect of rarely exercising is so, the legs feel sore even it feels like he does not want to be invited to walk again. Maybe if the feet could talk he would tell Joseph to just stop. Other than his feet, his shoulders were the same. The bag he was wearing felt very heavy, walking against gravity made it weigh twice.

"Why suf?" ask his friend who is in front of him.

"Want a break?" said again.

"No. Yuk continued, we have to get to the top before dusk right? I want to see the twilight from the top of the mountain," he said stoically while trying to keep going despite being forced.

"Yes already. Later if it's up to the middle we rest for a while yes," he said his friend.

"Ready," Joseph said with a smile even in a grumbling heart. He felt sorry for following his invitation, although he also wanted to know what it was like to enjoy a night on the top of the mountain. He said the view was very good, hopefully it will not rain tonight.

After about 2 hours of travel, the scenery below began to look beautiful. The high expanse of the building began to be seen from a distance, the rice fields are really spacious really spoil the eyes when viewed from above. It was indeed as good as the scene, Joseph could not even resist the temptation not to take a picture.

"Is it good to see?" his friend who saw Joseph take the picture many times said.

"good. If from the top it looks better but we're like not to the point? It's been a long way."

"Propag . It will also arrive. I was also at the beginning of the mountain as well. Even worse than you, maybe even my friend used to get tired of hearing my complaints," his friend Yusuf began to reminisce.

"It was difficult at first, but over time it must be used" he said again.

"Yes the hell, like we pursue a dream there must be a thing that makes us give up. If for example we continue to move forward in earnest, there is something sweet waiting for us. For example, like the sunset," Joseph chimed in. He did not seem to want to lose to his friend.

"Everything you continue to be excited so you can see the sunset from the top of the mountain. Shrimp yes rest, we at most an hour again nyampe the top of the mountain. After that you can rest as much," his confused friend had to say what would he say it. After all, they had almost half an hour of rest.

"OKAY. You said I could rest, right? That means you set up the tent, right?" ask Yusuf.

"Yes, that's not the time either. I set up my own tent but you can't go in?"

"Yes, that's not the time either. Yes, let us continue again, over time rest until the peak later even the night was not exciting," Joseph rose from his seat and immediately walked. The journey to the top somehow feels more heavy, there are things that make it difficult. Whether it's a tree root that makes his legs twisted, a snake that almost bit him and so forth.

"Finally," after being absolutely sure he had reached the top, Joseph saw the surrounding scenery that looked very beautiful while breathing freely. For the first time in his life he saw the view from the top of the mountain.

"Create a tent first so you can relax later."

"Now?"

"Next year suf!"
