If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapters 10. Mules

Heck, heik! Galuh hiccups, as fast as lightning he snatched the bottle of drink in front of him. Turning his back to Reza, he gulped down his remaining drink. He rubbed his lips with the back of his hand, then turned to face the man back.

I don't know what the man wants to do again by going to his desk, to be honest he is still upset when he remembers the incident just now at his counter. His legs still felt sore and his shoulders felt tight because they had to lift the shoebox from the warehouse.

A mischievous grin was seen behind the smile that was emanating on the face of the man who was now sitting next to him. Galuh mengengos and chose to continue eating rather than serving the man talk. Unfortunately, his appetite has disappeared from nowhere since seeing the man in the same place with him, worse yet he even joined together at a table with him.

“Halo ladies,” greet Reza friendly, while extending his hand. He looked at the three women nearby one by one. “Oh yes, my name is Reza. And you guys?”

Meldy nudges the arm of Luna sitting next to her, “Mingkem!” she whispered softly when she realized that her best friend's mouth was open as she looked at the man before her. “Normally just look at it, until the bengong kayak is like that.”

Luna grimaced, regained her senses and immediately shut her mouth. “Apaan anyway, Mel. Disturb me!” he slapped Meldy's arm.

“Ish!” Meldy glared as she rubbed her arm. Reza tried to hold back her smile, while her hands were still hanging in the air. He glanced at Galuh who was being indifferent to him.

“Luna Maira,” said Luna who first welcomed Reza's hand, and without releasing his hand he introduced his two friends to Reza.

“The one sitting next to me is Meldy Ayunda. Primadonanya this mall,” said Luna half whispered shut her mouth with one hand, while winking one eye at Meldy who can only grimace to hear his words.

“No need to be heard by the talk of Luna, it could-can he aja.” Meldy pinches Luna's waist, when she sees Luna still holding Reza's hand. “Please his hand, Lun. Why try, Lo hold it directly from earlier?”

“Dih, sirik aja Lo. The one with the hands doesn't protest!” Luna throbbed while turning her face to Meldy, then turned to look at Reza back and smiled at him. “Well, if that one is his name ... Uh!”

Luna looked at her hand, Reza had released her grip and now the man was extending his hand to Galuh. Although already know his name from the screams of Mr. Susilo at the counter earlier, but Reza wanted to hear directly from Galuh's own mouth.

“Congratulations Nanda.” Galuh mentioned his name and nodded his head without replying to Reza's hand to him.

Reza smiled and slowly pulled his hand back, he muttered softly repeating Galuh's name to himself as if he was memorizing it. “What do you eat?” tanyanya then saw Galuh just stirring the food on his plate. “Chicken pitcher yes?”

“Sih, she just answered herself.” Luna giggled amusedly near Meldy's ear.

“Sstt, noisy. Diem used to napa!” meldy put her index finger in front of her lips.

“Ya,” says Galuh brief.

“Enak?” ask Reza again.

Galuh sighed, “It was delicious,” he replied as he lifted his face. “But now so not good!” Galuh put down his cutlery and pushed it into the middle of the table.

“Ups!” Meldy closed her mouth, again nudging Luna's arm.

“Lo why, Luh. Isn't this Lo's favorite food?” ask Luna wonder.

“Iya, tumben said not good?” timpal Meldy is next.

“Why?” reza asked, this time he had to hear the reason. It was impossible for Galuh's taste to change that fast just because of his presence among the three of them. Is it possible that Galuh was still upset with him because of the incident at his counter earlier? He had to do something for the woman to see him.

“Kenyang!” answer Galuh lightly.

“Gosh!”

“How about, from earlier that food just Lo stirring doang?” luna pointed to the food on Galuh's plate. “Mubazir oruh Non, dear wasted food!”

“Yes if you are full of forced time!” reply Galuh with a tone of dislike.

“Loh, that's Galuh!”

“Eh, how to eat?” Galuh stared in disbelief, Reza ate his food without changing the cutlery that Galuh had used before.

Galuh tried to get in the way, but Reza slowly brushed off his hand and even now held it in his hand.

“It's really good, it's a pity if it's not finished.” Reza continued to feed the food into his mouth, and in an instant the food was gone. “Pedas anyway, but it still fits on my tongue.”

“Oh my God!” Luna patted her forehead, Meldy grabbed the tissue in front of her and handed it to Reza.

A sweat dripped from Reza's forehead, around her lips, looking flushed red. From his mouth came a voice like a whistling person. Galuh who was shocked to see what Reza did by eating the food, now can not hide the taste of her.

“You mean what the hell is it all about. What do you want to show me, use all my food. What if you suddenly have stomach pain? I'm again to blame the same guy one mall,” Galuh gaur on Reza.

“I don't mean anything, I don't want to show you anything either. I just wanted to know and apologize to you about that. Because of me, you get angry Mr. Susilo.” Reza took off her hand, then wiped the sweat off her face.

“Udah usual time I got scolded by Mr. Silo, not this time only. Lagian is indeed a hobby he sang in front of his men,” said Galuh while wiping his hands.

“Serious You gapapa, that's his lips until red is that?” ask Luna, “If you really like, why not order yourself earlier. Even eating has Galuh, the child's level of spiciness does not know. If not resistant to fall can mules.”

“I gapapa,” replied Reza. He called the waiter and paid for all their orders. “Bakkapin two pecels of chicken, Mbak. Spicy yes same as the one that was ordered the same Mbak,” he said later.

“Dih, she's doyan!” meldy laughed then.

Want to not want Galuh follow laugh, “Indeed that just less ya?”

“Not for me, but for both of them. Time just I doang mules,” said Reza keceplosan.

“Lah, really mules right!”

“Ya already, just be anterin to sono table yes. Thanks to the two of them,” the door to Galuh, and Reza immediately shakes off to leave them all.

“Za, Where are you going in a hurry?” danil asked to see Reza walking quickly out of the cafeteria.

“Mules cuy!” he nodded while waving his hand.

“What eat? The feeling from earlier we did not order a spicy message,” asked Aldy sweeping his eyes on the table. Just fried chicken and regular chili sauce will not make their stomachs heartburn.

“Kali aja Reza follow eat their food, biasahlah girls will like the spicy-spicy. Reza's stomach is aja who likes to be troubled,” said Danil relaxed, while poking the sauce with fries in his hand.

“To the extent, I'm sure Reza likes really the same girl. Rarely see her attention like that of other girls, it's been a long time since .. “

“Already, don't discuss the past. If Reza hears you can beabe!” danil reminded.

Lunch time is over, Galuh and his two best friends left there after previously stopping by Danil and Aldy's table to deliver Reza's order. Reza hasn't returned to his desk.

“Luh, son of Lo make mules!” whispered Luna after they came out of the mall cafeteria.

“Lah, not my fault times. He's the one who wants to try my food, right? Already back to work,” said Galuh pulled the hands of his two best friends. Although he looks indifferent, he is actually worried also remembered Reza who grimaced holding heartburn in his stomach.
