If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 21. Meet you here again

The sound of the alarm at six in the afternoon coming from his cell phone rang loudly, jerking Galuh from his instant sleep. The bright light that shone from the light bulb attached to the ceiling of his room looked dazzling, making his round eyes decorated with lentic eyelashes blink repeatedly. Galuh got up from the bed, yawned long and then stunned for a moment staring at his reflection in the mirror.

Her matted hair poked out from her ties. He was still wearing his work uniform, and had not changed at all because he immediately broke down after asking Reza to come home and leave his house this afternoon.

The deg! His heart suddenly beat faster and his cheeks flushed red as the man's name flashed through his mind, and the footage of the incident on his porch spun back in vividly like a delay broadcast.

“Hufh, get you out of my mind. Forget it, because it will only be a bully!” Galuh cupped his face and patted both cheeks repeatedly. It hurts!

His breathing sounded heavy, the eyes were dim and the normally cheerful and lively face looked as grim as it lost its light.

“Don't let him be happy and feel victorious, for already managed to rob your first kiss. Revealing his heart for reasons in the name of his love, does not mean that it is a justification for the actions he has done to you. You must repay him for what he did to you, Galuh Nanda! Make him regret and beg your forgiveness!” a loud voice from the chamber of his heart filled with rage burst into his hearing room.

Galuh grinned, the corner of his lips lifted imagining what revenge he deserved to do to avenge Reza's actions on him.

“Aow!” His forehead immediately puckered when he felt pain on his lips.

Galuh swept his tongue, touching the small reddish wound on his lower lip. Looks like it was Reza's bite marks earlier who kissed her lustfully.

“Do not be rash in acting, it will only make you regret later. Maybe it's true what he said to you, if he fell in love with you and wanted to show you that feeling. It's just that he chose the wrong way because driven by his jealousy seeing you familiar with other men, until finally even hurt yourself. Give him a chance to show his remorse by giving him an apology and a chance to improve Another voice from a different heart chamber voiced his opinion.

Galuh exhaled, closed his eyes and his ears tightly hoping not to hear any more voices that only made his mind unsettled. As the azan magrib began to sound, Galuh slowly opened his eyes again and rushed out towards the bathroom to immediately clean up.

Cold water washed the skin of his body, causing a new freshness. His face was bright again even though the light had not fully returned.

Galuh has changed into more casual home clothes, thigh-length shorts and short-sleeved loose-fitting t-shirts with hair curled high into a ponytail. He turned on the television, played a television channel that aired his favorite volleyball game before heading to the kitchen to make fried noodles and eggs for dinner.

Galuh grimaced staring at his refrigerator which contains a lot of processed food, which durable and durable filled the freezer. The handmade results of his mother were deliberately brought from his home in the village to eat everyday. It's just a matter of heating, but Galuh is reluctant to do so at this time. He does not have a big appetite when alone at home like today, another story that the two friends came and stayed together.

Galuh watching television while enjoying his food, occasionally typing on his phone reply to a chat from Meldy who was on leave home and asked him how he was doing.

Drett! Phone's vibrating. Galuh stopped his mouthful, picked up the incoming phone from Luna who invited him to eat outside as well as take a walk.

“This I again ate,” Galuh said then changed the phone call to vc.

“Mi again mi, not bored what. Long curly intestines if every day eat noodles. Nothing else what? Lo it's efficient what a stingy, anyway.”

Galuh just laughed in response to Luna's words, he twisted the noodles with a fork in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth. One last mouthful, the food in front of him was gone. “Other cooking mats, Lun. Lots of groceries in the refrigerator, but I really want to eat this.”

“Come dong, bestie. Accompany me to eat outside, we find a good place to eat while chilling. Want ya?” luna Kayu.

Galuh glanced at the clock on the wall, seven o'clock in the night. Then turned to look at Luna who was waiting for her answer. “OK deh!”

“Yes! I'll pick you up now.”

“Iya, I wait.”

Fifteen minutes later Luna had reached the courtyard of Galuh's house by riding his motorbike, while Galuh was ready to wait on the terrace of his house.

“Eat where, Lun?” tanya Galuh stepped into the courtyard of the house.

“I want to eat crab pepes near the airport, next to it there is a cafe tuh.”

“Senyiur mean? That's a long way from here, Lun.”

“Iya. You can relax and eat there, Luh. The place is nice on the beach, you can wash your eyes see cute guys.” Luna giggled amusedly.

“Dih, mode!” Galuh. “Wait, I'll take the jacket first.”

“Yes, dinner all eye wash. Once aja find a mate there, kecantol same bull bull continue to be invited to marry. Ahhaha!”

Galuh smiled mesem, he was ready with his thick jacket because the place they were going to was on the beach. It must have been very cold there, let alone a night like today, lucky the sky was bright, many stars were up there. At least he could forget a little bit about his problem with Reza. Uh! Why did the name refuse to move away from his mind.

Along the way Luna did not stop talking, and Galuh became a good listener and occasionally chimed in his best friend's jokes. A little more he became entertained with funny stories Luna. Until they don't feel like they're getting to where they're headed. Luna chose parking at the end near the road to the beach, and chose an empty table outside so they did not have to walk far if they wanted to go to the beach.

As Galuh had previously alleged, the cafe was crowded with visitors, most of whom were foreign workers working in foreign companies scattered around the airport, their purpose there is of course to enjoy local coffee also tasting crab pepes which is the mainstay menu of the cafe that has been famous for delicious for a long time.

Meanwhile, Reza is sitting alone at a remote table away from the crowds of cafe Senyiur visitors who came that night, enjoying a cup of coffee as usual while staring at the beauty of the night sky as well as the waves of the beach.

His mind was still fixed on Galuh and the incident this afternoon, how he easily got out of control and could not help himself. He was so passionate and seemed to want to rule over the woman, angry at seeing her with another man.

She felt like she was not all this time, and Reza felt so guilty seeing the fear in those round eyes as she looked at herself. The woman had already made her sense disappear. Although he must be hated for his entire life though, Reza still wants to repeat the taste of the lips ranum Galuh which makes him more want the woman to be his.

Reza seemed to be immersed in his thoughts about Galuh, so he did not realize the presence of two friends in that place. “Did you forget that you invited us both to come to this place?” aldy asked in astonishment at Reza, before pulling out one of the chairs in front of Reza and dropping his ass there.

“Not at all,” replied Reza flat.

“What's wrong with you, tangled mash?” danil asked, he waved to the waiter and ordered the same drink as Reza.

“Nothing!” answer Reza briefly.

“Ck! Are you two this is indeed a matchmaker yak times, always in the same place and time.” Aldi leaned over, staring at the outside door where two young women were enjoying the food in front of him.

“Means Lo?” Danil frowned, looking at Aldi with his eyes asking a subtle question.

“Just try Lo look towards the outside door,” Aldy said pointing his chin. Curious, Danil followed and immediately patted hard on Reza's shoulder which had been just silent with his eyes continuing to lead to the beach.

“What the hell!” Reza did not like it, holding his shoulder.

“Noh, look. Girl Lo again maem same sohibnya!” point Danil towards the table of Galuh and Luna. “Lo samperin sono.”

Instantly Reza was silent, staring straight at Galuh. As if to feel the presence of Reza there, Galuh also turned his head. The gazes of the two met, Galuh gulped with great difficulty and quickly turned his face the other way. The sound of footsteps approaching made him raise his face, and in front of him now stood Reza with eyes constantly staring at him.
