If Tomorrow Never Come
Chapter 6. Best friend forever

“Hem, fragrance.”

Awakened by the smell of freshly brewed coffee, he tried to sit down before even being able to open his eyes.

“If anyone gives me hot chocolate this time, I promise I'll make a special lunch for him this afternoon.” Galuh licked his lips, swallowing his saliva strongly imagining the pleasure he got when the hot brown liquid entered his throat.

There was a sound of laughter from outside his room, Galuh opened his eyes. Lazily pulled the blanket over his body, then stood up. He saw Luna and Meldy sitting folding legs on the living room floor while enjoying a snack while watching a stand up comedy show on television.

“Eh!” Meldy suddenly lifted his thigh, when Galuh suddenly appeared and sat docked between himself and Luna.

With eyes half closed and mouth wide evaporated Galuh pushed a plate filled with peanut skin towards the front with his hands, then pull the tray in front of Luna and then reach for one of the glasses containing hot chocolate that she believes belongs to her best friend.

“Dih, closed napa Luh if nguap like that. If anyone sees, you will be embarrassed three times!” scold Meldy.

Galuh grimaced to hear Meldy's words reminding him of the incident when they came down from the ward that night. His focus was now on the drink in his hand. He blew slowly, taking a quick glance at Luna before sipping hot chocolate in a glass that was still reflecting hot steam.

“Enak, Non?” meldy asked trying to hold back her smile. Both of his best friends did have the same taste, both like sweet drinks unlike him who prefers coffee drinks.

“So much,” Galuh said pointing his thumb towards Luna. “Lumayan, can make eye literate. Do you know if I want to drink ginian again,” added Galuh, then again inhale hot chocolate in a glass before putting it back on the tray.

“Eitdah, make yourself napa Non!” reprimand Luna while raising her drinking glass, seeing the contents that only half left.

“Minum dikit doang, there are still many!” reply Galuh pointed his index finger at the glass in Luna's hand.

“Sih!” Luna rolled her eyeballs, making Meldy laugh at her.

“You are really staying up late, kirain is already on sleep all.” Galuh again lay down near Luna, with a thick ambal that had just been in her title. “On what to discuss anyway, until bela-belain sleep late.”

“Well, he moved to sleep here again? Galuh ih!” Luna giggled amusedly as Galuh's hands wrapped around her stomach. “I'm a nitak!”

That night the atmosphere of Galuh house was bustling with laughter, there was nothing they did but just chat together. Mutually confide in each other about the funny things that happen at their workplace, until one short sentence that comes out of Meldy's mouth stops all of their laughter.

“I want to get married!” said Meldy put on a serious face, staring at the faces of his two friends who were surprised to hear his words just now.

“Mel, Lo kasambet what suddenly talk like that. So I goosebumps. This house has no delicate creatures, right, Luh?” Luna looked around the room.

“This time it's Lo's turn that I've caught. You think I piara jin at home?” galuh replied, tilting his body staring at Meldy.

“However, was laughing about a trio of boys at work. Suddenly Meldy talked about marriage, I'm going to binun be.”

“Both of my parents have received applications from the family ustad Zaki, the owner of the boarding school whose house we have occupied so far.” Meldy continued speaking.

“You're serious, Mel?” Galuh woke up from her sleep, shifting her body closer to Meldy. “You're not boong right?”

Meldy took a breath, patted Galuh's thigh. “I'm serious Luh, next month I have to go back home.”

“How do you work?” ask Luna.

“Yeah Mel, why never told us before. It's not two months we know each other, but years. It is difficult to be happy together, even almost every weekend we gather at home to sleep together. Let our friendship last, let our brotherhood remain intact. But you don't tell me about important problems like we do, you solve your own problems without asking for our opinion. It is not that we have promised each other every problem we solve together,” Galuh said can not hide his disappointment.

“I'm sorry I disappointed you.” Meldy lowered her face, “Before I want to tell you about this same thing you two.”

“I think our matchmaking is just a joke between two families who have known each other for a long time, I never take their words seriously. After all we are busy with our respective affairs, meeting can also be counted with fingers. Zaki is busy finishing school abroad, while I work here. Until one day iftad Hadi fell ill and asked Zaki to return home. Last Sunday they came to the house, and applied for a proposal.”

“Ck, so all this time you've been betrothed?” Luna clucked, “Dan Lo received that fate aja.”

Meldy nodded with a small smile, “I can't possibly disappoint my parents' expectations, they already love the future son-in-law.”

“Lo likes Zaki? Why, Lo was forced to marry the same guy. And Lo's parents can not refuse because it has a lot of debt of gratitude to their family,” Luna.

The plot!

“Sok knows, Lo! It's been loud wrong again,” Meldy snorting emotions.

“Continue, the reason why Lo suddenly just want to accept marriage with Zaki. How is it said Lo's relationship with the Star, Lo break up time is just a child of people. Just so,” reply Luna put her face.

“Luna, let Meldy clear it's all the same to us. Don't cut it until he's done talking!” Galuh mediates, he knows his best friend is actually not ready to get married.

And as Luna said just now, Meldi is indeed in a relationship with Bintang, a young doctor who has just opened a treatment clinic in the Sentosa area close to the boarding house Meldy occupied.

“I know you're disappointed with my attitude, but honestly I'm not ready for marriage anytime soon. I still want to play and gather with you, work together with you. I also really want to realize my dream to be a model that is known by many people.”

“Soal my relationship with the Stars ..” Meldy's gaze turned sad, “Before our relationship deepened, it's better we part now.”

“Meldy, I'm sorry. Lo must be very sad to have to separate the stars,” said Luna while hugging Meldy tightly, followed Galuh from behind.

“Whatever decision you take, we will always support.” Galuh rubbed Meldy's shoulder, “Aah, finally one of my best friends will get married too.”

“What does that mean in a moment, we will not be able to gather together like this again?” Luna looked at Meldy with sad eyes.

“Entah, just go as usual. What is clear is that Meldy will not be as free as he used to be,” Galuh said.

“Why not try to talk to Zaki, say that you want to marry him as long as he is allowed to keep working. Itung-itung to help your sister who is still in school,” cetus Luna was thrown away just making Meldy's sad face change instantly.

“Why didn't I think of Lo's idea to talk to Zaki about it, huh?”

“And we will both talk to your parents, if necessary we will both try to convince them that work will not make you ignore your main obligation as a wife Zaki later.”

“Hopefully Zaki will fulfill my wish, and both my parents will also listen to your words. Now my heart is a little more relieved. Thank you, you guys are indeed my best friends.” Meldy stretched out her arms, encapsulating her two best friends in her arms.

“Best friend forever!” answer Luna and Galuh together, “Whatever the problem, we will face together.” Galuh said that was taken by his two best friends.
