When Love Is Present

When Love Is Present
Chapters 102. Time whirring.



The renovation of the room began. The left wall is broken down by a handyman to make a door. From there Laras and Vim will keep an eye on their babies who are sleeping at night or during the day


In the lower room someone contacted by Mr. Uun came to pick up the room furniture items sold by Vim.


The man gave me some money and then left with the stuff. Mr. Uun gave money from the sale to Vim.


"Thank you sir. This is for dad." Vim gave a small portion of the money to Mr. Uun.


"Thank you den. Thank you very much."


"Sama-sama sir. Please watch the handyman. I'm going to work."


"Ready den."


Vim looks very neat even though he does not wear a pair of shirt suits. Attractive Vim appearance. Profile of the present entrepreneur. He left a little afternoon because he had to give directions to the handyman who was doing the renovation of the room. Beside him stood Laras who would release him to leave for the office.


"Mas wait." The barrel held Vim's steps, noticed Vim's appearance then said, "It's neat. Good job, sir." Sweepy babe landed on Vim's cheek. Vim kissed Laras' forehead back.


"Be careful doing something." Vim ordered.


"Mas too don't speed. We're waiting here." The barrel holds his stomach.


"Bye dear."


In front of the exit they had to stop because someone was stepping towards them.


"Who are you looking for, sir?" Vim asked first.


"Good morning sir. We from the AAA store relayed this message to Larasati's mother." Said the guest.


"Who are you?" Vim scrunched his forehead. This morning, there was a shipment coming to surprise them.


"The Sender is Maharani's mother. Ask to be sent to this address. Is this really the house of Mother Larasati?"


"Yes right. Please just put it here."


The deliveryman and his friend put the goods in the place designated Vim then excuse me to go back to the store.


"What is this, mas? it's huge."


"Just open it."


Then the package was opened and a cot was plastered in front of them.


The barrel let his mouth open. Vim was not surprised. My mom likes to do something surprising.


"Baby bed. Mamiii.thank you very much." Barrel stroked the baby's cot.


"Look at mami. Didn't we just buy a bed or not?"


"Maybe you just want to surprise me." Laras defending mami. Her in-laws were very attentive.


"Yes, but we bought it


cot. What's this trying for?"


"Will be useful. Can be placed next to our bed."


"The money should be for someone else." Vim deplores mami's actions.


"We've accepted it.. Mami don't get scolded. My mom is so good."


"Yes.yes, it's up to you." Vim's head shook. Mommy if you have a desire is always in a hurry. It wants to be done quickly. It's going to be like this. There were two cots in their house.



Laras asked Mr. Uun to bring the baby cot into the room. Gathering with other stuff. Auntie Am who heard the noise in front became curious. That voice is the voice of Mr. Uun and the handyman.


Aunt Am did not miss out on wanting to know the new cot was coming. Aunt walked out of the kitchen to see the bed.


"Well, this is great, non." Auntie was gobsmacked.


"Which bi is the same thing we bought?" Ask Laras.


"Both are good, non. Well, madam, it's so nice to have a grandchild."


Room renovation work is speeded up to become a ready-made baby room. After work Vim gave instructions on what to do by the craftsman tomorrow to beautify the room. Vim gave the picture as a guide to the handyman finishing the room.


Now we have reached the finishing stage. It will soon be all over. Barrel and Vim will return to the upper room. Unfortunately the handyman does not work on Sundays even though he lives to arrange baby furniture in the room.


Vim closed the door to their baby's room. This morning prepare to accompany Laras morning walk. Just take a complex look while looking at the changes around them.


"If you're tired say Baras. We're walking a little far." Vim slows his pace off the barrel.


"No, mas."


The swimming pool at the front of the complex has been crowded with children. Young children with their mothers or children with their friends.


"For me Vim. Accompany her mother yes." A mother's friendly greeting isn't too old. Vim knew her as the mother of a neighboring clan leader.


"Mom's too. This morning, ma'am." Vim returned the greeting.


"For mom." Baras said hello to the mother.


"Mbak Laras is already pregnant. Where are you planning to give birth?" Laras and Vim paused for a moment in honor of the neighbor.


"Birth here only Mom. Let my mother come here."


"Oiya.manage mbak Laras yes. Good luck with the delivery." Said the mother.


"Aamiinu. Thank you ma'am. We're on the road again, ma'am." Pamit Laras's.


"Monggo, ma'am."


As much as one round of walking but felt far for Laras.


"We go home, yeah. That's enough


walk her."


"We're home."


The barrel runs on the left side of Vim. The Vim should protect it even if the roads inside the complex are not crowded by vehicles. After this turn they will arrive at their house which is at the very front of the complex.


Brrrmmmr. Ciiiiittt's.


"Wooii stop!!" Vim shouted out loud. His voice had to beat the roar of the car in front of it. This car almost hit Vim's body.


The car stopped suddenly. Vim almost got hit by a car if he hadn't shifted to the left. The turn makes Vim have to walk over while still holding the hand of Baras.


The car stopped and the owner got off. Want him to go down Inner Vim.


"Lu speeding bro. It's in the complex." Tegur Vim's.


"We're in a hurry. Pardon. You guys okay?" Ask the young man.


"Thank God you didn't get your car. If it grazes earlier and the cave wife falls, you'll be suing the cave."


"Mas is it." The barrel calms Vim. Why is he getting fierce? Stunned barrel.


"Once again forgive. Aah it's too late. Excuse me. Sorry I have to go."


"Be careful you!" Shouted Vim.


They arrived at the courtyard.


"Wheel..Tomorrow morning the road is in front of the house. Don't go far behind." That's Vim's message


"Good sir."


"Remember darling."


"Rom."


Vim's attention poured on Laras and the baby. Vim becomes more dear. The barrel and baby should be fine, that's the principle of Vim.


Malamannya..


Vim holding the knit in the hand Laras made the hand movement Laras stopped.


"Your hands."


Vim's hand stays there. Mendamba. The barrel remains beautiful even though its body expands due to pregnancy. Vim held the taste in the chest. The impulse from within made his body warm up.


"Ras..you're not tired of knitting?"


"May I ask you something?"


"What's that?" The barrel actually lays the knit on the lap.


"I want to go in."


Baras did not understand what Vim meant.


"Where to go. You want to go, huh?"


"I want to get into you."


"Ooh that."


"Ras in this gestational age of unification will open up the birth canal as well."


"Not wrong."


...*****...


Barrel turning door handle. The door opened, and he found a clean and comfortable room. He looked around and sat on the carpet.


This is the baby's bedroom. Next month the baby is born. The barrel is a little gamang. The birth is new to him. Worried about how she will be during labor.


The hope is that the delivery will be smooth later. Eight months he did not feel any significant problems in his womb. He felt healthy and his doctor said he was also healthy. Then why be afraid?


But can't the unexpected happen? If something happens to her, what is the fate of her baby?


Laras could not imagine if Vim was looking for a replacement to care for their baby. The barrel closes the eyes with both palms. He could not imagine that his baby was not okay. Ah Laras looked up to hold back tears. Hope that doesn't happen. Vim is not ready to find a replacement for himself.


The barrel moves the cot. The bed moves forward and back like a swing.


Son you must be born safe. I can't wait to swing you here. Follow mom fills the days.


You were the first born of your brothers. You'll lead them and take care of them.


Help mommy, baby.



Slowly Baras arranged the baby clothes into a small wardrobe. For his son he did it alone. The finished clothes are inserted and neatly arranged in the wardrobe. Aunty washed all the supplies yesterday.


Chequek.


"Loh non here. It's a non blanket." Aunt comes in suddenly. Didn't expect Laras to be there.


"Yes bi see what is lacking. One sofa needs to be put here bi. One day breastfeeding I can sit here."


"Metul non. Sold the couch yesterday."


"It's okay bi. Vim wants a new one. Tomorrow I'm asking for something a little soft so it's good to sit nursing."


"Is there anything you can help non?"


"There is no bi. Bi.bibi gave birth at what age?" Baras wants to know.


"Ooooh aunty is still young it's non. Fifteen years of non. Someone proposed to be a married aunt." Aunty Am's story.


"I am also nineteen years old married bi." Connect Baras.


"But younger aunt. Eighteen-year-old aunt already has a child."


"All aunt's kids are healthy?"


"Yes non. Now everyone's family." Aunty's words flowed smoothly. Not at all affected to be sad considering his family. Aunt so faithfully followed the Vim family. Since the aunt was abandoned by her husband, she has worked for the Vim family until now. Bibi and Pak Uun are considered a family by Vim's extended family.


"Auntie hasn't finished cooking yet, right?"


"not yet. Aunt to the kitchen is non."


"Bi I miss going to the kitchen. Come with aunt." Pinta Barrel. Just like Vim, aunty forbade Laras to do something in the kitchen even though for Laras the work in the kitchen is a natural thing to do by him.


Aunt thinks. Pity to see Laras himself in that room. Aunt agreed to Laras' request.


"So much non but non just sitting in the kitchen. Just accompany auntie, no. Den Vim message non Baras not to work a lot."


Barrel grimacing. Aunt was obedient and loyal to her master.


They walked into the kitchen.


"I help what bi? Just spice. Where are the spices bi." Laras.


"Non just sit down. Auntie can do it all."


"Auntie..."


"Good non. It's garlic and onion. It's enough, non."


The barrel laughed. Aunt really doesn't want to share the work.


"Auntie don't be afraid. I'm fine."


"Enjoyed by non. Den Vim is a pity at all non Baras. Very afraid of the non-baras why-why."


Then came the curiosity in Laras to hear the story about Vim while still in school.


"Auntie has been with the Vim family for a long time. When I was in school, Mas Vim's boyfriend liked to come to the house, didn't he?" Barrel asked carefully. Waiting for aunt's response. Will aunt answer the question.


"Rarely non. Vim rarely takes his girlfriend home. How many times that was. Whose mom is that? Ra's..Ra is non."


Mung-mangut understand. Surely what aunt meant was Aurora.


"Included to mom?"


"It was introduced to the master and mistress before her boyfriend left the non."


"Oh that's the right graduation mas Vim maybe?" Guess Baras.


"Yes non before mas Vim so messy. After graduation den Vim became strange. Urinary. I often go home early."


"It's definitely bi stuff. Messy." Barrel smiled.


"Yes after that den Vim so it's like losing direction. Says the flus.flustration."


"Frustation. Broken heart, bi."


"Maybe non. Want to be invited to marriage even disappeared. Poor den Vim."


The barrel swallows saliva. He is only number two. Ah no. Vim once said he first fell in love with Laras but Vano managed to grab Laras first.


"Non is daydreaming. Non fingers can be sliced."


"Eh yes bi."


"Thinking of den Vim yes non. That was a non story. Now den Vim dead love equal non Baras. Aunty can see." Aunty is also good to talk to. Baras was not sad. The same can be said of aunt even though Laras never confided in aunt. Aunty can keep a secret.


"Mas Vim his girlfriend likes to change not bi?" Baras still wants to know a lot. During this time according to Vim only the name Laras and Aurora fill his heart. Duuh recalled Aurora making Laras' heart ache.


"Aawws. Calm down, dear." The barrel caresses his stomach. The baby moves more. Maybe she doesn't like Laras talking about her papi much.


"Why non? What's that hurting?" Aunt looked worried.


"There is no bi. I think he kicked."


"The sign is dedek ask for a break non. It's not just rest now."


"I want to see the front room of bi."


"Non good."


Relax darling. Mami doesn't talk about your papa anymore. Now go to sleep.


In the front room there is not much stuff like yesterday. All that was left was a baby bed. The bed will be placed next to the bed Laras and Vim to make it easier to reach the baby when crying in the middle of the night. That way the bed is useful in the end.


Barrels remember what other fixtures they haven't bought. It feels like almost everything is. Baby walkers are not available.
