If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 29. Receive

Silent for a moment, only the sound of the tapping of a finger on the table could be heard repeatedly. Like counting the time, when it's time to start talking.

Kevin had gone home almost an hour ago, with a sad face because the would-be husband of the heart thief suddenly came to interrupt. Similarly, Reza who had returned to his study, after making an uproar with his impromptu announcement at the Galuh counter.

Reza's expression that tells Kevin that he is Galuh's future husband, immediately makes the sickle-eyed man immediately apologize. He never thought that Galuh would soon marry Reza, because he thought Galuh was a free woman and still alone.

While Galuh can only criticize Reza who again reminds him that he is the future husband of the woman, and asks him not to carelessly accept the invitation of other men besides himself.

Three friends sit around a round table in front of the counter, putting on a serious face preparing to listen to the explanation of the female lead in a love story that has just been presented in plain sight.

Luna immediately came to Galuh's counter as soon as she received news from Meldy who told her to immediately meet the two of them there. She screams in disbelief when she learns that Reza, their boss at the mall, is her best friend Galuh's future husband.

Plaque!

“Lamaa!” Luna who was impatient again held back her curiosity, immediately clenched Galuh's shoulders hard to surprise the woman. “If you still do not want to tell the same story, we must meet your future husband in his room!”

“Aow, what the hell is Lun?” Galuh grimaced holding his shoulder which felt hot. “I don't know what you're talking about?” Galuh put on his innocent face.

“That's yes, still ngeles same us. That was what he meant, sir the boss said that he was your future husband. When you are, suddenly you want to get married. Is it fitting that you were kidnapped at the Senyiur cafe at that time?” berondong Luna was impatient, anxious with Galuh's attitude that seemed to not understand what the meaning of the question.

Meldy who had noticed earlier, could not help but laugh. “Lun, patient say. Didn't you see what Galuh looked like?”

“Ish!” Galuh knew his face turned red, and he could not be prevented from looking down while holding both cheeks. “You both embarrassed me, tau!”

“Kaluh Nanda hunted storyaa!” Luna clenched her legs.

“He did ask me to marry him,” Galuh said slowly.

“Teruss!” meldy and Luna together. “What do you answer?”

Galuh looked at the faces of his two friends who looked curious waiting for his answer, and he had to tell them both immediately. “A-I haven't decided yet, accepted or rejected it. Too soon, and I'm confused to face it.”

“Huuhfh!” Luna took a long breath. “I'll give you anything that's on me if she asks me to marry her, baby it doesn't happen to me because I'm not her choice."

Galuh rolled her eyeballs, and Meldy laughed again at Luna's irritating way as if disappointed.

Meldy grabbed Galuh's hand, and looked at her friend's face solemnly. “Tell me the truth, what made you delay in deciding to answer Reza's proposal. I know all this time You never once had a romance with a man, and I know for sure that is not the reason that there is another man who has been entrenched in your heart long.”

Galuh shook her head, “Too many considerations I should take. I'm still not ready, I still have another obligation to help my family in the village. Helping my sister's school fees. I don't want to marry later, my family's fate becomes a burden and responsibility of my husband.”

Luna was stunned to hear Galuh's reply, “Not that your sister will soon finish her studies, and she has also started working. If that's the reason you postpone getting married soon, you're wrong Galuh.”

"Hush!"

“Alhamdulillah, if the matter of that one is like there is no deh Lun. Sure mama is not a person who likes to shop here and there continue to owe here and there too.”

“Canda doang, Luh. Let's not get too tense.”

“I know you are a very careful person, but do not let your attitude hinder your steps to achieve your own happiness. What's wrong with accepting him, and you can try to get to know Reza more closely first. Understand each other's nature and character. From my observation in knowing your future husband, I knew he was a good and responsible man. And as sure and very clearly seen, he seems to love you very much.” Meldy spoke at length.

“I speak to you like that based on my own experience with my future husband. What's wrong with trying and taking the opportunity to get to know our future life partner, from there we can know if he really intends to marry us. And we will also know when it is time we should be careful in our behavior and when it is time we should take risks to achieve the happiness of our own lives.”

“And I am grateful to know my future husband at this time, although at first I was reluctant and did not want to accept the match. But after meeting and getting to know her more closely, I finally know that she is the most appropriate match for Me.”

Until her workday ended that night, Meldy's words were deeply embedded in Galuh's mind. Why doesn't he try it by accepting the relationship Reza offers him. He can ask the man for time to choose the right time to get married later, instead of getting to know Reza closer first.

Why did he not try to take the opportunity to get to know the man more closely and open his heart which had always been closed to the thing that smelled of romance. The thought made her lips smile. Getting married doesn't seem like something scary to her right now.

Galuh smiled as he looked at the watch in his hand, this afternoon Reza asked him to wait for the man to come home with him and Galuh responded. This time he did not want to miss any more and made the man wait for him for a long time.

But until the busyness at the mall is almost over and all employees slowly go home one by one, Reza never contacted him again. The lights on the 2nd floor will be turned off soon, and Galuh is still standing in front of his counter. He tried to call Reza's number, but there was no answer.

Galuh walked quickly into the employee's special door, and walked through Reza's study. But there was no rush there, and the lights in the room were turned off.

“You where Za is, why call I ignored!” complaining Galuh, he walked quickly down the stairs to the lower floor and arrived right in the mall parking area.

Galuh walked while continuing to call Reza's number, until his eyes were glued to a familiar car. Galuh stepped quickly, approached Reza's car, and smiled with relief at the man in his car hugging the handlebars.

“Master,” call Galuh while tapping the car glass. “Eh, Brother Reza.” Galuh closed his mouth holding a red hue on the cheek when changing his call to Reza who refused to be called by the name of master by him.

Galuh tried to open the car door that turned out to be unlocked. It comes in and sits next to Reza, “Abang, go home yuk!”

Galuh touched Reza's shoulder, but the man was unmoved in his place. “Kok, her body is hot ya.”

Galuh fingered Reza's open neck, hot! Galuh suddenly anxious, he held Reza's shoulder intending to lay it on the back of the chair behind him.

“Honey,” heard a soft voice Reza responded to the touch of Galuh's hand on his neck.

“Yes God, Brother!” I was panicking, as soon as I saw fresh blood dripping from Reza's nose.
