If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 22. Kidnapped

Reza comes to Senyiur cafe intending to just calm down, he likes the place. Its exact location on the beach makes it very happy to linger there, enjoy the waves of the beach chasing each other or staring at the night sky studded with many stars. Feels soothing.

Like the previous nights, the cafe was always crowded with visitors. Reza often comes there with his two best friends and always choose a secluded place and is in the corner of the room close to the exit that leads directly to the beach. From where he was, he could see every guest who came without anyone else knowing of his whereabouts.

On the left side of the cafe, there is a ladder down made of mahogany wood as much as three sheets of board that is elongated and wide, lined neatly below there. When setting his feet, people will feel his eyes sink because they are absorbed in by the sand that is always wet.

Not far from there, there is also a swing from a used tire hanging on a branch of a large tree that continues to move and rotate because it is blown by strong winds.

“From yesterday I noticed, Lo kayak there is a problem like Za. Story dong same us, only time we can both help.” Danil opened his voice, he noticed Reza sitting daydreaming while staring out of the cafe.

Reza shook his head without turning his face, his gaze remained straight ahead. “Nothing!” sahut later.

“Ck, I'm surprised! You two are really friends this time, yak. Always in the same place and at the same time. Look towards the outside door in front there.” Aldy patted Reza on the shoulder, then pointed with his chin towards the outside door where two young women were enjoying the food in front of him.

“Means Lo?” danil asked curiously, turning to follow the direction Aldy pointed at.

Reza glared while holding his shoulder, “What the hell, just disturb Lo!”

“Ck, see sono!” Aldy's back clucking. “Gebetan Lo also eat the same food.”

Reza turned his head, then fell silent for a moment with his back straight. Danil gave a smile looking at the expression on Reza's face that instantly changed as he looked at Galuh.

“So hungry I. Order me to eat dong, Al.” Danil nudged Aldy's arm while holding his smile.

“Ekhem!” Reza regained his senses, glancing at the two friends who were looking at him with teasingly obvious eyes. The corner of his lips lifted, he jerked the tip of his jacket and leaned back in his chair. “Manja! Book yourself, Bro!”

Danil laughed when he heard it. “Gue is spoiled, Bro. Hahaha!”

Danil called the waiter and started ordering food, asking Aldy what his best friend wanted. It gave Reza time to rethink what he would do after seeing Galuh in the same place as him.

Reza looked towards Galuh. As if realizing Reza's presence in that place, Galuh turned his head. The gazes of the two met, Galuh quickly turned his face away. With his heart pounding faster than usual, he lowered his head back and continued eating.

“Yes God, why should I meet him again in this place.” Galuh whispered in his heart.

“Za, What do you want to eat let me order you all?” danil asked, but Reza was unmoved with her eyes staring at Galuh.

“Za, use vegetable asem no? You can do that I know .” Before Danil could finish his words, Reza had already risen from his chair and walked in haste. Reza just flicked his hand as Danil tried to hold back his steps. “Woi, Where do you want to go Za!”

“You guys are here only, I have to talk to Galuh!” said Reza steady, dismissing the doubts that had lodged in the heart saw the attitude of Galuh who pretended not to see it.

Galuh still seems angry at him, and he should talk to her. If you need to take the woman away from that place and talk alone.

“Gass, Bro! Pursue until you can.” Aldy chuckled, his screaming voice making some visitors turn to him. He smiled and raised two fingers. “Eh, Daniel. Order Lo how, pity mbaknya from just waiting!” reproof Aldy.

“Reza's Cause, so don't focus on Gue.” Danil grimacing. “Udah Mbak, pepes crabnya two servings only the same fish grilled one only. Later if there is an addition, then later!” said Danil handed the menu book to the waiter who was still standing waiting beside the table, smilingly received it and soon passed from there after saying the word ‘waiting yes, Mas’.

Aldy smiled faintly, propping his chin with his hands onto the table. Staring at Reza's back who was walking towards Galuh's table was. “Newly this time, I saw Reza very attentive to the girl he just met. I'm doing unusual things, until I don't think it's Reza I know. Lo shadow only, he ate from the same plate as Galuh, use the used flatware Galuh as well. Weird not according, Lo?”

“Any anyway. You will know Reza is like how, all should be guaranteed cleanliness. Very picky when it comes to food, let alone the same that sells.” Danil added.

“Gue so curious what to do is child. It was diem aja, bengong kayak stone kali. Kicked new motion, once see Galuh comes directly spirit.”

Danil chuckled, patting Aldy on the shoulder and bringing one finger to his lips asking his friend to stop talking when the food order had arrived. “Thank you, Ma'am.”

The maid smiled and, as before, rushed to the table opposite them as the visitor at the table called out to her.

“Do not wear comfortable-smile fashion spread charm, Bro. Poor girls people Lo php,” reprimand Aldy see suspicious gawagat Danil on the cafe waitress girl, which is only reciprocated with a typical laugh Danil hard.

While at his desk, Galuh took a few deep breaths to calm down. He did not expect to meet Reza again at that place.

“Luh, why not eat it?” ask Luna while sipping avocado juice in a glass.

Galuh shook his head, “Suddenly full, Lun. Maybe most times drink yes, my stomach so beggah.” Galuh.

Suddenly he lost his appetite. The spicy taste of the food in front of him was no longer able to arouse his appetite. Like something was stuck in his throat, he pushed his dinner plate still full and grabbed his drinking glass again.

“Already dong drink it, Luh. He said banggah!” Luna reminded.

The sound of approaching footsteps made Galuh raise his face, he gasped and almost choked on his own drink when he noticed Reza's presence nearby. “Uhuk!”

Luna thrust a tissue in front of Galuh who immediately took it and immediately wiped her mouth. Without permission, Reza pulled Galuh's front seat and sat there.

“Pak Reza?” Luna smiled, nodding her head which Reza replied by doing the same.

Luna glanced at Galuh and smiled understandably. He had no idea what was going on between Reza and Galuh, but he felt his best friend was uncomfortable with the man nearby.

“Did I order food too, Sir? Or want ..” Luna glanced at Galuh's dinner plate which was still full, then covered her mouth with her hands trying to hide her laughter remembering Reza's unique habit.

Reza took a breath, he turned to Luna for a moment and turned to look at Galuh again. “At the moment I'm not having a taste for eating,” he said flatly. “I just want to talk to Galuh, can you leave us alone now?” added again.

“I mean Mr, I have to go so?” Luna furrowed her brows cluelessly, how could the man suddenly come and ask her to leave them alone.

Galuh exhaled a rough breath, looking at Reza with a cold gaze. Clearly showing his dislike because the man suddenly came and played the order at will. “If you want to talk, just talk. Why should I tell Luna to leave, you should realize whose table this is. Come-come play order at will!”

Instead of answering, Reza looked at Galuh's lips. He saw a small wound on the woman's lips, and thought it must have been the result. The trajectory of the events of this afternoon re-shadowed in his memory, making Reza unconsciously swallow.

His eyes did not shift in the slightest, his gaze continued to cling to the face of the woman before him, as if hypnotized by Galuh's rancid lips. For God's sake, she's like a teenager in love.

“Stop looking at me like that!” galuh said uncomfortable, but Reza bergeming did not let go of his gaze in the slightest.

Luna realized, it seemed like they really needed to talk alone. And he had to step aside for a moment to give Reza the freedom to talk to Galuh. Along with the idea popping into his head, his phone rang. “Sorry, I have to reply to the phone first.”

Without waiting for an answer, Luna got up from her chair and stepped away. Just move to another table that is empty, while answering the incoming phone that turns out to be from Meldy.

Just now he answered a greeting from Meldy, suddenly his eyes widened when he saw Reza grasping Galuh's hand and taking him away from there.

“Lun, Luna. Where the hell is this kid, hey Lunaaa ..” Meldy's voice shouted from across the phone.

“Meldy, please Galuh Mel!”

“Why? Luna, speak clearly. Galuh why?”

“Galuh kidnapped Mel,” replied Luna, still in disbelief staring at the departure of Reza who brought Galuh into her car, leaving her alone there.

“Hah!”
