The Story of a Broken Man

87. Gathering

Joseph and his friend visited the house of a friend of his. This was the first time since he came to visit the house of someone he did not know before.

The two of them went to the acquaintance's house which looked to have no smile. At first he felt astonished by his attitude, but he understood also after being explained. Apparently he lost his smile because there were nerves damaged by the earthquake a few years ago.

Since then, she has had a hard time meeting new people. He was afraid to be arrogant because of his attitude, but not at all. It was fortunate that people could understand after explaining the reason .

Joseph actually came because he was free. There's no other reason than that. He doesn't think it's a bad thing for him anyway. That way he can get to know more people too.

He was so surprised when he saw the person who brought the drink out was the girl he had seen before was spreading flowers on the river bank at that time. The unexpected encounter made Joseph cold. I wanted to say hello to the woman, but her mouth could not say anything. It feels like a padlock.

The courage inside her had yet to appear she had already disappeared from there. If only it could have been a little faster, things could have changed. But maybe now is not the right time.

"Who was that?" Joseph could not help but ask his acquaintance .

'That was my sister."

"He's got a girlfriend?" Unknowingly Joseph asked so.

"That day there was nothing strange at all. He caught the fish as usual. The ship can be found, but maybe not all events can be explained by logic" he said.

Yusuf understands. In this world there are many things that cannot be explained by logic even for something that sounds logical. He knew why the girl had sprinkled flowers on the banks of the river. He also hopes that the wound in his heart can heal as soon as possible.

"You want to be with him?" after explaining what had happened to the girl in the past, her acquaintances asked her what sounded very surprising.

"depends on him. If he can fit in with me why can't he?" Joseph tried to answer diplomatically. Let time meet the fate line determined by God. He hoped to be able to match up with her, otherwise he did not mind . As long as he is happy, even with others Joseph will try to accept it.

"If it really depends on you. My sister is still grieving. He was also very cold with others now. If you can take her heart, I'm sure there will be a bright future between you, "the acquaintance is trying to refute.

Yusuf quiet. He wasn't sure if he was told to approach a woman again. The last time he was about to propose, the woman was already in a match with another man who had the same degree as him.

"I will do what I can" said Joseph.
