If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapters 1. Raining

Huuh! Galuh exhaled while wiping the sweat that soaked his forehead and neck, sitting on his feet on the floor of the room with a newly cleaned ceramic floor.

Just put up the sheets and the curtain, the room is ready to be occupied. While his stomach began to demand a demo filled, because since morning he only had breakfast a packet of bread and water only.

The clock on the wall pointed to the number 11, he had to finish his job as soon as two o'clock in the afternoon he had to go to work.

Galuh decided to move and look for a new rented house that was bigger than his old boarding house in order to accommodate his family who would come from the village tomorrow.

It didn't feel like he was there for nearly three hours. And for more than three days now, Galuh had to pacing to move his remaining belongings to his new rented house.

Luckily he had a neighbor who took the furniture store driver home every day and was willing to help him, so that two days before his heavy items had been removed all.

Now he can freely live in his own rented house, doing all things at will without fear of anyone being disturbed by it.

Tok ...

There was a knock on the door with a greeting. Galuh raised his buttocks, stood up while replying to greetings and rushed to open the door.

On the porch of the house appears a teenage princess still wearing a blue white uniform smiling shyly at him with her hands carrying a tray containing food.

“From mom at home,” he said as he handed the tray in his hand to Galuh.

“Alhamdulillah, get sustenance. Indeed there is an event what is a gift for blessings?”

“There is a small thanks for brother Revan has been accepted to work in a foreign company.”

“Weh, cool dong. Not easy to be able to accept work there,” praise Galuh sincerely. “Come in first. You are not the son of Aci's mother, who has this rented house right?” tanya Galuh made sure, after putting a tray on a round table in the middle of the room.

“Iya, Brother. My name is Wendy,” he said introducing himself, then reached out his hand.

“I Galuh,” reply Galuh shook Wendy's hand. “For a while, I copied the food first. Um, no hurry let me wash all the dishes?”

“Not to wash, Brother. You still want to go around love for other neighbors.”

“Ya already, if so wait a minute ya.”

Galuh immediately moved the food to another container, then handed the empty tray back to Wendy's hands. “Chocolate for you, tell me also Mother thank you very much. Moga of blessings, smooth recovery.”

“Amin, thanks Kak.” Wendy smiled broadly as she held the chocolate bar Galuh gave her. “I'm saying yes, Brother. Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikum greetings.”

Galuh closed the door and turned towards the kitchen of the house, smiling broadly at the food on the table and giving thanks again. “Alhamdulillah, sustenance for the first day of moving house! Bismillah.” Galuh washed his hands and began to eat his food.

An hour later Galuh had finished cleaning his new home, smiling satisfiedly staring at a neat and clean room of course.

Now it's time to clean up and get ready to go to work. There is still food left, Galuh put it in the lunch box for lunch later tonight.

Tiin tiin ...

Galuh pulled his body back and pulled over to the side of the road when a car stopped suddenly right in front of him. From behind the open window of the car he saw Wendy waving at him. “Kak Galuh! Where are you going?” wendy called out her name.

“Wendy!” Galuh walked quickly.

“But really, Brother want to work?”

“Iya nih, shif night. Where are you going?”

“We want to take food orders mom to make an event later tonight in the area of Rapak Indah, Brother with us aja yuk, all so we can be escorted bang Revan. Can I skip work Brother, want yes Kak?” bring Wendy.

“Dek, Brother must rush to pick up Mitha also at his house, from earlier phone and the person.” The man beside Wendy interrupted his words without looking at Galuh who was standing half-down his shoulders in front of his car.

“Back, Bang Revan. Look at the sky, it's dark. Poor Kak Galuh must walk far away angkot ahead there, mending with us. Directly to!”

Galuh just quietly pay attention to the debate of two brothers in front of him, he decided not to follow Wendy's invitation to climb into his car.

“Yes already, game up. Rain hunt later!” revan's voice sounded again. This time he looked at the blackened sky and confirmed his sister's words, then turned to look at Galuh who was still standing still in his place. “Come, how dumb?”

“Come, Brother. With us aja.”

Galuh smiled thinly, “Thank you, but better I take the angkot only. Coincidentally there is another co-worker waiting there too, bye!”

Galuh walked quickly away from the two, a little annoyed by Revan's attitude towards her. “You ngajak together just use all debate events, intentions no heck!” ruk Galuh in the heart.

In the car, Wendy protests Revan. “Abang is how it is, Adek will be ashamed of the same brother Galuh. Already made to come with us, uh not even so.”

“Lah, how come you're guilty Brother anyway. He who refuses, kok.”

“The wrong Brother! Come on, continue the way. Entar the ayang lambs again later picked him up!” cibir Wendy, upset with the attitude of her brother who was so bad as her boyfriend.

Revan returns his car, from behind the rearview mirror of his car he sees Galuh walking quickly on the side of the highway. Had wanted to stop and offer a ride again, but was forced to be detained because he saw the sour face of his sister who was sitting next to him with both hands folded in the chest.

“Sorry, next time it won't be. Appointment!” he put on a smile as sweet as possible.

“Telate!” answer Wendy ketus.

“Gosh!” Revan shook his head while taking a deep breath while rubbing his chest.

While Galuh, paused for a moment to wait for the angkot to pass. When it arrived in front of him, the angkot was full of passengers, most of whom were students who had just returned to school.

“Ayo Neng, still fit. Hey, that sitting in the back can slide a little let the Eneng in!” angkot driver's orders.

Furious, his stomach suddenly nauseous. The smell of cigarette smoke from one of the passengers hit his face. Galuh immediately take a step back, “Gak so, let me ride the others aja.”

“Yeah, the Eneng!”

“Come road, Pir. Full gini is still said to fit, want to put where. On roof?” other passenger protests, making the driver can only grin.

“Oke more!”

Tick ...

Galuh looked up, instantly his eyes narrowed when raindrops hit his face.

“Yeah, rain!”

Just two minutes later, it suddenly rained. Galuh ran small towards the stop which was only a few meters away from him to shelter, while covering his head with a backpack he carried. His long wavy hair was wet in the rain, with a huff of his discipline so as not to cover his eyes.

The byurr!

Galuh turned his face fast, did not have time to dodge again when a black car crossed a puddle nearby and splashed right about the clothes he was wearing.

“Ashemm!” grumpy annoyed while clenching strong hands.

A man wearing a hoody jacket with sunglasses and a mask on his face descended upon him. “Sorry, I accidentally. Your clothes get all wet, where's your house. Let me take you there,” said the man without removing the mask on his face.

“No need, I can go home by myself. Taxi!” reject Galuh and immediately raise his hand when he saw an angkot pass in front of him and go straight into it leaving the man who was still standing still in his place.

“Woi Za, come back. Kayak aja lo boy wear rain show all!” another voice called out to him from inside the car, the man regained his senses and ran towards his car.

In the angkot, Galuh no longer care about having to jostle with other passengers. His thoughts at this time how to find a way so that he can quickly get to his workplace and avoid the anger of Susilo sir boss. Just imagining it makes his body go limp for a moment.
