If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 23. Real reason

Galuh took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he glanced towards Luna who was at the other table calling someone. Galuh wanted to escape from the awkward atmosphere he was currently feeling towards the man, being alone with Reza only made his mood uncomfortable.

“I need to go to the toilet ..”

“I have to talk to you ..”

Galuh raised his face, his gaze met Reza's eyes. “Ehm, let Mister first speak,” he said then while looking the other way, when Reza's eyes locked it.

Reza smiled to hear it, “Call Reza only, do not use the frills of the Master in front of him. We are also out of the office.”

Galuh folded his lips while nodding his head, “Oke.”

“I want to talk to you, there's something I want to explain to you.”

Galuh glanced at her watch, “It's been night, I don't have much time to listen to your explanation. Poor Luna had to wait for me long,” Galuh said, then stood up. However Reza's hand caught her wrist and pulled her closer towards him.

“I'm serious, baby! Give me a chance to explain it to you,” pinta Reza to Galuh. He pushed Galuh gently and sat the woman beside him.

Galuh according because he did not want to be a free spectacle other visitors, he sat very close to Reza. It felt like he wanted to curse the man, because he had allowed himself to obey his wishes.

“Don't call me that,” Galuh fast, the affectionate call that man threw at him made the guest who was across his desk look at them. She looked like a woman sulking at her lover, and it was evident from the look in their eyes looking at her.

“Why? Didn't Luna and Meldy call you that. Your other best friend did the same, so why can't I call you that Galuh baby?”

Galuh glared at the man next to him, who was now chuckling looking at him. “You are even more adorable if you glare like that,” he said without hesitation, which makes Galuh even more upset and embarrassed.

“I have to go now. I really didn't have time to serve your joke just now, Mister!” Galuh stood up.

Grep's! Reza's hand was faster than Galuh's, and Galuh again had to budge. He jerked Reza's grip in his hand, instead of letting go even the man got stronger grasping it.

“Please!” pinta Galuh with an angry hissing voice.

“I won't let go of my handrails until you will obey my words and sit quietly beside me.” Reza turned his head, looking at Galuh right in the bead of his eyes. “How, Galuh darling?”

Galuh snorted bitterly, but did not stop obeying the man's words to him. “Iyaaa!”

“Now accompany me to eat. Suddenly I was excited to eat this food,” said Reza. He let go of his handrails, then pulled Galuh's dinner plate in front of him.

“Now not even nine nights. Is there someone waiting for you at home that makes you so hasty to want to leave this place immediately. Does my presence make you uncomfortable? You haven't even touched your food,” Reza continued.

“Yes, I'm not comfortable being at a table with you. After everything you did to me!” galuh said in his heart, and without being asked the memory was present again flashed in his head.

Galuh unconsciously touched his lips, and it did not escape the attention of Reza who continued to look at him while commenting on a thin smile.

And as happened before, Reza started eating Galuh's food, making her hold her breath. “You! Why not order it yourself, anyway!” galuh protests are uncomfortable.

It was nothing, something rippled in his heart as he watched the man feed the food from the same spoon he had just been wearing. “That's so weird!” he said it covered his heart.

Reza rubbed his lips with a piece of tissue, he stared fixedly at the face of the girl in front of him. “Entah, I myself am also astonished by myself at this time. Ever since I first saw you, I've been doing a lot of things out of my habit. You are like a magnet to me, attracting me to stay near you.”

Galuh's cheeks suddenly red. Fortunately, the light on his desk was not as bright as the light in the room, so the man did not see any change in his face.

“It turns out you're a tombal guy too, yeah. Too bad I,” reply Galuh, covering the nervous feeling that suddenly struck his heart.

Reza chuckled, his face looking even more handsome. He has deep dimples on the bottom of his right lip, not with the left only faintly visible. And Galuh was stunned for a moment, seeing another part of the man's face that caught his attention. Reza's eyes adorned with thick eyebrows also moved in rhythm with his narrowed eye movements as he laughed.

It was as if there was power flowing within the man, thus making Galuh immediately obedient and unable to resist his wishes. “Lun-Luna how?” Galuh glanced at his best friend who seemed surprised to see him go along with Reza.

“There is Aldy and Danil who will accompany him home,” said Reza, bringing Galuh walked out to his car.

Again Galuh could only obey, he tried to relax while in the man's car. But the closeness of the two of them at this moment made it difficult to do so. His body was suddenly tense when Reza cornered sharply and made him look to the side with his hands touching the man's chest.

Galuh glared at Reza who was holding his body with his free left hand, his body now leaning on the man's shoulder and his head was very close to his face. Galuh could even clearly hear the man's heartbeat pounding loudly.

“Ekhem!” Reza.

Galuh woke up and quickly pulled his body away, then sat with his back straight in his chair until Reza took him to the middle of the city and stopped his car on the side of the road facing the beach.

Galuh lowered the car glass next to him, then turned to look at Reza. The man was taking off his seatbelt and getting ready to get out of his car.

“If you only want to invite me to talk to each other on the beach, then why don't you do it while we're at the beach near the cafe?” ask Galuh wonder.

“Too many people saw us there. I just want to talk to you alone,” replied Reza casually. He jumped down from the car and walked around approaching Galuh, then opened the door and stretched out his hand.

“I know you like the atmosphere of the beach, we take a walk yuk!” bring Reza.

The night sky seemed to be filled with shining stars, moonlight fell on the dark blue sea water. Galuh spread his gaze, seen several young couples walking side by side along the beach. Others sat holding a mat on a thick stretch of grass around the beach.

Galuh smiled, his heart became calmer after looking around him because he felt he was not alone. He welcomed Reza's hand to her.

They walk on the beach, a gust of strong wind makes Galuh shiver and kontan close the collar of his jacket. Both palms fused together and swiped repeatedly, trying to repel the disturbing cold.

“You're cold?” tanya Reza looked at Galuh who kept rubbing both her palms.

Galuh just nodded slowly, his long hair started fluttering in the night breeze. Galuh reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a hair strap and tied it carelessly, just so as not to mess up and cover his eyes.

Reza grabbed Galuh's left hand and put it in a glove, just as he did to his own right hand. While Galuh's right hand he held it and put it in his jacket pocket. “Still cold, no?”

Galuh smiled as he raised his left hand, “Lumayan anget,” he replied later. “You want to talk something, why don't you say it immediately?”

“I just found out that you are also impatient,” said Reza while laughing slowly. “We look for a quieter place.”

Reza held Galuh's arm, guiding him up the steps on the shore. Their bodies were so close, it was hard to avoid touching the male body. Similarly, his heartbeat is difficult to calm at this time.

Reza took him to one of the tent stalls at the end of the street, sitting opposite each other while enjoying a warm drink. “I'll speak the truth to you. I do need a personal assistant right now, and I want it You!”

“Dear Lord Reza, once again I'm telling you. I can't do it, I've got a fun job. I'm not likely to do double work, while I work at the counter but also have to work full time for you?”

“You don't have to work at your counter anymore, you just focus on working with me. I'll pay you whatever you want, as long as you follow my wishes to be my personal assistant.”

“Master, art alone has time to relax and pamper himself on certain holidays. What about the personal assistant that you want, you have to work full time a day and continue to be near you. Why don't you just look for a wife?”

Reza seemed hesitant to answer Galuh's remarks, but he had to be honest with the woman what her goal was to ask Galuh to be his personal assistant. “A-I .. how should I tell you.”

Reza rubbed his face, then looked intently at the woman sitting before him. “The bottom line is I want you to be my wife as soon as possible. I don't want to lose the chance to have you in my life.”

“Hah!” Galuh was stunned, either had to cheer excitedly or even cried loudly to hear Reza's words just now.
