If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 3. Kangen

For Galuh, it does not matter if his clothes are soaked because of the rain. He still has a change of clothes in his locker. He also understood that he could not impose his own will when he was in the angkot, his long hair smelled of cigarette smoke from other passengers. He also did not complain when losing quickly with other prospective passengers, although both stood waiting.

But all that happened in one day, Galuh slowly. Really, can't the universe give him a pause?

Plus the incident just now, he had to resist embarrassment because his personal choice was in the hands of a foreign man.

Galuh felt the floor she was on as it was pulled from under her body, as she stared at the face of the man before her. His eyes looked like he was laughing at himself and his thin lips did not stop smiling.

Galuh leaned back, with one leg bent on the floor. With a quick movement he snatched his triangular object from the hand of the man before him.

“Business!” Galuh glared furiously, rushed to his feet and hid his thing behind his back.

From behind the walls of the room that Galuh's eyes could not see, Luna and Meldy continued to notice the tension going on in front of her. Luna could not even hold her laughter, seeing Galuh who was busy hiding her triangle made Meldy move quickly to cover her best friend's mouth with her hands.

“Ssttt, your laugh can be braked. If this is the way, we will be caught equally Galuh!”

“Sorry, but I really can't stand it. I swear, it's my stomach Mel. Could they argue about soan,” said Luna.

“But it's a guy like I know?” Meldy sharpened his gaze, Galuh and the man's voice was clearly heard in his ears. It seemed that the man did not accept Galuh's words to him.

“Hey, I didn't mean to take it from you. This thing fell right under my feet,” his rebuttal, then before long his smile turned into laughter. “But I must admit, your taste is good too.”

Holy hooch!

Galuh's face was flushed red, half-dead embarrassed. The man in front of him spoke without burden to him. “You ... Haish, sucks!”

Not wanting to be the spectacle of his colleagues who had arrived at the place, Galuh turned his body to leave the man and walked quickly to the cashier table while continuing to curse in his heart.

He could still hear the laughter of the man behind him. “Ish, make it a shame. Why also use the hit show that guy all.”

“Why Luh, pout so her face?” ask Ayu, the senior cashier at her workplace.

“There was a guy rese just now, Ma'am. So much for people's tastes!”

Ayu smiles at the dikulum, from behind her desk she can see what happened to Galuh there. “Definitely rese because of this right?”

“Kok Mbak Ayu can know, anyway.”

“Same eyes I have radar,” Ayu replied half whispered.

“Dih, Mbak Ayu can. Dah ah, I want to change first.” Galuh grabbed a small bag at the cashier table, then walked around to the special door of employees who were in the corner of the room.

“Za, what are you doing here? Wanted from earlier do not know even anteng here.”

Two young men came over to Reza, the man who had just quarreled with Galuh.

“Wah, the danger of our friend this one. I think your perverted brain is on fire now. Lo realize not the hell around lo what thing?” point Aldy at the mannequin that's right next to Reza.

Bugh! One powerful fist Reza's hand landed perfectly on his arm, making Aldy grimace while holding his hand.

Danil directly embraces Reza's shoulder, “Quiet, Bro. You have a problem what to get to this booth. Same story as us.”

“Sorry Za, I was joking. Lo seriously very concerned,” said Aldy apologized while patting Reza on the shoulder.

“Lo if you are sorry, please don't need many reasons!”

“Dih, make a guy.”

Danil just shook his head at the attitude of his two best friends, they then walked towards the cafe in the mall.

“You guys remember the girl who was wet with my car splashed in the rain last afternoon? I was curious, I just met you. Turns out it was a working girl in this mall,” explained Reza, when they were already in the cafe mall enjoying a cup of coffee.

“Employees bokap lo dong, Za.”

Reza flicked his shoulders, “Maybe yes, maybe No. You see I don't see her uniform, her shirt is still white black.”

“Lo interested in same chick? Tumben attention. Ordinary also cuek, this splash dikit directly down nyamperin!” Aldy glanced at his best friend who was staring out, the more the afternoon more visitors who come to the mall even though just for a walk.

“Entah, maybe just a curiosity.” Reza smiled thinly. Seeing Galuh he seemed to see someone from his past. Someone who means so much to him and always fills his days, but their relationship must end.

The marriage plan failed, after Reza's confession about her kept tight during this time made her lover think again about their relationship during this time and in the end decided to cancel their wedding plans.

While Galuh who has changed clothes and prepared to the clothing booth where he works must refrain from the invasion of questions his two friends are curious about Reza. Especially Meldy who knows that Reza is the owner of a cafe where he usually hangs out with his community friends.

“Serious You never met Reza?” meldy asked half in disbelief.

“Seriously Mel, I really don't know who he is. Meet just now, it was also because of the blue lace incident.” Galuh throbbing considering the incident this afternoon.

“Now you know who he is, interested in not getting to know him further?” Meldy asked while tidying up the clothes on the shelf.

Galuh shook her head strongly, “My goal to this city is to work, find money to help my parents in the village also to help my sister who is still in school. I haven't thought of getting close to the same guy.”

“Yess, I agree. Focus on helping the family first, it is much more important than busy thinking about romance. If indeed a mate would not go anywhere,” continued Luna gave her thumbs up.

“Tumben this time your talk is real, Lun. Usually like ngaco!”

Luna grimaced and Galuh laughed hearing that, the shadow of her mother's face was clearly plastered before her eyes. Suddenly a sense of kangen controlled his heart. For almost three months he did not return to the village. And tomorrow his mother will come to see him.
