If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 32. Mode Abang Reza

Early in the morning Reza had come to pick Galuh up at his house, the man looked as fresh as ever. No more pale lines decorating her handsome face. It seems true as Danil said last night when he drove her home, if the man was just ordinary achievement because he was too tired to work.

"So you should just rest at home, until you fully recover. If the flow of work never ends, there is just continue."

"I'm healthy, and I have to go to work. Let's see you continue" said Reza who immediately made Galuh blushed embarrassed.

"Every night can not take you home it feels very disappointed, but want how again. Instead of endangering the safety of yourself as well as loved ones, forced to give up seeing a lover home among friends."

Galuh laughed to hear him, "Thank God, you're okay. I was so worried that I kept thinking about not being able to sleep. Look at my eyes, there seems to be a line of items, right."

"It looks, but it's faint. Just his eye bags still look really good," said Reza while examining Galuh's eyes up close, but it made Galuh immediately close his eyes.

Reza smiled again, leaning forward eroded the distance between himself and Galuh. And with unexpected movements he kissed Galuh's closed eyes soft and long.

Galuh gasped, his eyes blinked and slowly opened. A red hue spread across his face as his gaze met Reza's eyes which were also staring at him intensely.

There was no trepidation in Galuh's heart like the first time the man kissed her, even though it wasn't the lips of that time. This time Reza did it gently and soulfully.

"I just want to prove someone's theory about eye bags due to lack of sleep. When there is a soft touch from the loved one on the eyelid, then the eye bag will gradually disappear and leave no faint traces of black color on the bottom of his eye."

"It seems to apply to me and I'm starting to believe that theory, because it's proven and your eye bags are slowly fading." Reza stared at Galuh's affectionate.

"Whose theory is that, you know?" galuh asked, unable to hide the gel taste, he could guess that it was only the mode of a Reza in order to be able to kiss his eyes.

"There," said Reza with a teasing kerling in his eyes. "Oh yes, I have something for you. I hope you like it."

Reza took out a small blue box from her pocket, then opened it slowly. He then grabbed Galuh's hand and placed the diamond ring on his ring finger. It turned out that the size fit perfectly, and the ring looked so beautiful in Galuh's hands.

Galuh gasped, staring at the diamond ring on his ring finger. It was shaped like a flower petal in bloom, looking simple but so beautiful and looking sparkling. For a moment Galuh was speechless.

“That was my late mother's ring,” said Reza staring fixedly at the face of the woman nearby. “I hope you will continue to wear it and take care of it for me. But if you don't like the model, I can give you ..”

“No, not like that.” Galuh shook his head, then lowered his head. His eyes were fixed on the sparkling diamond ring on his ring finger, on his pale skin, and without feeling his eyes began to glaze over. “Only, I can't wear this ring of your mama's.”

“Why?” Reza held up Galuh's chin with his fingertips, and was surprised to find tears welling up in his eyes.

“This ring must be so precious and save so many memories for Brother. I just felt it was inappropriate to wear it,” Galuh said, finally being able to get those words out.

Reza smiled at her, “I know for sure, You really deserve to wear it. The ring looks so snug and beautiful on your ring finger. Mama gave this ring to papa to keep, and he handed it to me and told me to give this ring to the woman who would be my life partner. And I've made my choice, you're the woman.”

Smiling to hear it. He rubbed the ring on his ring finger and closed his eyes for a moment. The ring was so beautiful, and Galuh immediately liked it.

“Aargh, I'm so flattered to hear it.” Galuh blinked his eyes, a drop of tears fell on his cheek.

“Hey, why cry baby?” Reza cupped Galuh's face, gently rubbing both of her cheeks with her fingertips. “I'm sorry, if what I said earlier made you feel depressed and uncomfortable.”

Galuh shook his head again, he cupped Reza's hands on his face then looked at that handsome face for a long time.

“Can we do it slowly, living this relationship like any other couple in general. Getting to know each other first, because all this feels too fast for me.” Speak slowly with gentle intonation.

Reza smiled at him, and he hoped so. Married once in a lifetime and only death will separate. He really loved Galuh and really loved that woman.

“I'll wait until you want to marry me, but right now you have to obey me and wear my gift ring. It's a sign of a bond between the two of us, so that no other man tries to approach you. Because you are only mine and will continue to be mine, forever!” resolute Reza.

Galuh nodded, then raised his hand admiring the ring that was coiled on his ring finger. “Beauty once.”

“You like it?” reza asked, and Galuh nodded quickly. He was happy to see Galuh liked the ring. Her mother's relic ring is for the woman she loves and will be her life partner.

“We leave now,” take Reza later, while holding Galuh's hand stepping together towards his car.

All morning until noon, Galuh did not stop smiling. His heart was engulfed in an overwhelming sense of pleasure and it had an effect on how it worked.

Galuh is much friendlier than usual, more patient in dealing with customers, and does not look tired just keep smiling despite having to walk back and forth to the warehouse to pick up shoes customer orders.

Lunch time arrives, and Galuh gets a break first. He walked over to Luna's counter and found that his best friend was still busy serving customers who came.

“Sori bestie, can be second break turn Gue.” Luna held up two fingers, and that meant Galuh had his own lunch without Luna today.

“Yeah,” said Galuh in a disappointed tone.

“Lo can have lunch with Reza. Stay on the phone doang,” chirps Luna who successfully made Galuh cheeks red.

“Dih, what the hell?”

“What's up, as long as Lo is happy.” Luna grinned, and Galuh messed up.

“Luna, I first ya say.”

“OK bestie.”

Galuh stepped away from Luna's counter, he walked to her locker and passed Reza's study. In the doorway he stopped, hesitating for a moment as his outstretched hand wanted to knock on his door.

“Log in, yank. Unlockable really,” sound from the inside surprised Galuh. Suddenly his face red.

Galuh slowly opened the door, then stepped in and closed the door behind him. In front there, on the table is a lunch box complete with drinks on the side.

"I purposely prepared lunch for the two of us, and nearly ten minutes ago contacted your number. But there was no answer" Reza said, making Galuh immediately check his phone.

"Eh yes, really. Sorry, I didn't hear, but I was silent." Galuh showed her the phone and gave it to Reza.

Reza smiled then grabbed Galuh's hand and took her to sit beside him. "Today I miss you bribing again, don't ask why. Because I don't know why either" Reza said, making Galuh furrow his eyebrows.

"Basic mode!" sahut Galuh, made Reza laugh and immediately opened his mouth because Galuh was ready with his first bribe.
