“First time in many years I know Reza, only this time I see her so eagerly chasing the woman she wants.” Danil turned his face, looking at Galuh for a moment before returning to focus on the street in front of him.
Galuh frowned, not because of what he had just heard. But more on the way Danil looked at him, as if the man was judging himself and it made him uncomfortable.
“I never dreamed of being that woman let alone dreamed of being her life partner. It all just happened, without a plan and suddenly just asked me to be his wife.”
“You must have been so special in his eyes, the first time we saw him coming down in the rain just to invite you along with him and you turned him down.”
“From there I knew that she had fallen in love with you since the first time she saw you, she kept trying to find out and do various ways to attract your attention. Although in the end you are angry and may hate it so much because it has made you ashamed and cry in front of the crowd at that time.”
“And if you know how she asked us to help her get close to you.” Danil smiled little, “He's my best friend, and already like a brother to me. I don't want to see him disappointed let alone injured for the second time.”
Danil gripped the steering wheel of his car. His jaw suddenly hardened and he unconsciously hit his hand hard, and it certainly surprised Galuh who was next to him.
“What exactly happened, why do you look so emotional?” tanyanya.
“Only past stories are a little painful, but I think it's better you don't need to know.”
“Aah, don't make me more curious! I just decided I'd accept her proposal, and I don't want anything to hide from me. Although bitter as it sounds, but it would be better if I found out from now on. Before we really go into a relationship in an even more serious direction.”
Galuh put on an annoyed face, because it was made curious and did not like to be made to second-guess what had happened before to Reza.
Danil laughs at her, his emotions suddenly melt at the way Galuh responds to her words.
“Not something to worry about, because all is just the past and will not interfere with your relationship later. Believe me, you are the only woman who managed to make a Fahreza Raka Mahendra fall in love at first sight. And the only thing he wants right now is to ask you to be his wife.”
“Are you that close, even personal things you should know too?”
“Yes, I told you from the beginning, Reza is not just a friend. But like real family to me. There are no secrets between the three of us, until the smallest thing.”
“Then, you must know about the pain experienced by Reza earlier.” Galuh waited for Danil's reaction, but the man just shook his head.
“Reza is a healthy man, all this time he has no history of deadly diseases. He is always fit, maybe true as he said earlier if he was tired.”
“Physical fatigue due to working too hard, characterized by a feverish body accompanied by a nose that secretes fresh blood. Is that something natural happening?” search Galuh.
“I also just saw it happen to Reza, today. And I didn't have an answer to your question before hearing firsthand the information from Dr. Haris who examined Reza's health. He's a personal doctor who has been dealing with the health problems of the Mahendra family,” explained Danil.
“Do not blame yourself, because it is not your fault. Reza told me earlier,” said Danil calming.
“Stay I feel it's my fault, because I he's late to eat.”
“You have to believe what Reza said. He's just tired of working, that's all. There is no serious pain and nothing to worry about. If you have any doubts, you can call him now.”
“I've tried calling from earlier, the phone is active but not picked up.” Galuh breathed heavily. “Didn't he know that I was worried about making it.”
Danil grimaced, confused about what to answer because indeed he himself never knew what pain his best friend suffered. Because all this time Reza always looks fit and fine. If suddenly the man dropped, it certainly surprised everyone who knew him close.
The car he was driving had arrived in front of Galuh's house, the woman rushed down and thanked him. “If you come home later, and you meet him. Please contact me immediately,” pinta Galuh on Danil who nodded his assent.
“It's night, you better get a quick break. Don't let you get sick, Reza definitely doesn't want that to happen.”
Galuh just nodded, waiting for a moment Danil passed from before him and then walked into the house with a tired body and head that continues to be filled with the shadow of Reza's face.
Time seems to be slow to wait for tomorrow. Throughout the night Galuh found it difficult to close his eyes, continuing to wait for Reza to contact him.
But the news that was awaited was not accepted, until the early hours of Galuh can just close your eyes. And the next day, Galuh woke up with a lethargic body and eye bags and black lines that decorated his face.
The cold water that flushed his body slightly made his body much fresher, although it did not make the line under his eyes disappear just like that. That morning Galuh was getting ready to go to work as usual, but this time when he opened the door of his house there was someone who was waiting for him on the porch of his house.
Galuh suffocated in shock, and involuntarily rushed to Reza who chuckled at him. “Why don't you pick up my phone, you know how worried I'm all night can't sleep waiting for news from Abang?”
“I'm sorry, baby. Sorry, it's worried for you.” Reza cupped Galuh's face, rubbing her cheeks gently. His eyes fixedly staring at the woman before him, the beautiful face looked sleepless and looked lethargic. But now the eyes look radiant and his face is back.
Love makes the mood cheerful. Reza realized, the longer he liked the woman and his love was growing when he saw how Galuh reaction when he saw her that morning.
“We leave now,” take Galuh and then take Reza's arm, no doubt showing his affection for Reza who of course happy to receive Galuh's friendly treatment on him.
“Awhile, I've got something for you. I should have given it to you last night,” Reza said as she reached into her suit pocket and pulled out a small box of blue velvet.
“A-pa this?” Galuh knitted her brows as Reza grabbed her hand and put the ring on her ring finger.
