When Love Is Present

Chapters 11. Choosing Barrel.

"Bapi agrees. Totally agree. When do we propose Laras."

At the dining table sometimes the atmosphere becomes liquid when talking about things that need to be talked about after each

each member of the family all day struggling with their respective activities.

"Fastly, pih."

Vim was too eager to propose to Laras. Don't get preceded by Rony he thought. Rony is a bad shadow for Vim. So far Vim has never thought of Rony, his rival from other districts in the race while still in school.

For Vim when the championship is completed Vim will be happy to have got the acquaintance of friends

new friends her age from other cities include Rony. Unfortunately Rony did not think like that, until now Rony still considers Vim his rival who will always be defeated.

"Look at mi.pii.we all know Laras and consider Laras part of our family. I as her brother did not want Laras to fall in the hands of a bad person. It's not wrong if I want to have it anyway we have no blood relation at all."

"You forgot one thing Vim."

Maharani's mother reacted to Vim's explanation.

"What is mi?"

Vim stopped bribing a piece of butter fried chicken into his own mouth.

"Love. Do you love Laras or vice versa?"

"Love is the business of our hearts, me and Laras. I believe one day Laras loved me. I really don't want Laras to fall into Rony's hands and I'm sure Laras will pick me."

"Good Vim. Great confidence, papi likes it." Papi sahut.

"Thank you pi."

"Yes, but mommy still thinks Laras..."

"Mommy thinks this mom's son dong. Until this moment is alone." Cut Vim.

"Part of you are so cute with girls. There's Fani, Leoni, Marsha you're all cuekin. Find out what you're trying to do."

Vim was sure his heart would choose the right one. To him all the girls

the girl called Mami is an ordinary woman. Vim never felt interested and did not pay attention to them. The only difference is the barrel. Yes Laras.

The proximity of Laras and Vano has left Vim untouched

if you had a barrel. Sufficiently

Vano is happy, Vim will be happy and all the feelings for Laras are pressed deep in the heart of Vim for Vano. That taste Vim has been keeping for a very long time.

And the turmoil of taste in the heart of Vim sticking again to the surface without being able to be held or thrown away since Laras worked in their home. The feeling appeared again when Vim had lost his taste in women since his girlfriend chose advice

the girl's parents' match.

"When will papi and mami go to Laras' house?"

Maharani's mother glanced at her husband, and vice versa.

"By Mommy's right. This is what papi means lately papi is on a lot of schedule, mami take care of this proposal. Bring the elders some people. The point is that Papi agrees with Vim's plan."

"Yes okay. Tried as soon as possible Barrel for Vim. For an official event after one year of Vano's departure."

"A long time mi. Oh, my mother."

"Huussh for your good. Follow mommy ya."

"Heemm okay. I'm preparing our house."

Vim's thoughts glanced at his house that had been completed last year. Some corners and parts are there to be cleaned and refined.

"You can stay here Vim."

"Yes..Yes mami."

"Mommy's so happy to hear you're getting married to Vim. Mami will be holding a grandchild again. Mommy hasn't done it in a long time."

"Silent. Mami wants how many grandchildren from Vim."

"Halaah you.."

Vim smiled making both his eyes narrow. Full of attraction.

...~~...

Dinner's over. An idea came to Vim's mind. There's nothing to prepare tonight for tomorrow's assignment. Only a few reports come in and can be learned later. It is better to visit Laras. In Vim's heart cheered with excitement. What is that kid doing now.

Vim knocked on the door and from inside the barrel itself opened the door.

"Mas Vim?"

"Yes me. Can I come in?"

"Can. Please come in. mas."

"Mother and Mother.."

"In the room. Vim wants to see Mom and Dad? Vim doesn't usually come here. What's up?"

"Visiting only. Baras I wonder if Rony and his family really came to propose to you?"

"real mas. It was before noon."

"Then you took it?"

Laras shook his head.

"Yet. Dad asked for time to think and give me an answer."

Vim breathed a little relief.

There's still a chance for Vim.

Laras realizes of course Vim knows this from the Maharani Mother.

"Think carefully Barrel. You don't know Rony and all his behavior but I know who he is. Very know. Think carefully before you decide."

"Was she the Rony who met me at the stall back then?"

"Yes right. I'm so unwilling to be with her."

The glued barrel looked at Vim's face. Vim's eyes were far away looking ahead of him. Vim now is not a ketus Vim like Laras first met at the house of the Empress Mother. Vim is now more attentive though a little. But his attitude remained dominant.

"Oiya mas Vim wants to drink what. I haven't brought you any food and drink."

"No need. Just relax."

"I didn't have to help my mom."

"Mommy understands even a little hassle."

"What about Mommy if I start college next year. I can't help my mom anymore."

"Many ways if you want Laras. I will find the way later.

Yesterday it could have been if you had registered in private. There's still registration open."

"Yes, it's okay. Um. mas if I can find out about Rony"

"Rony? Someday you'll know about Rony."

Vim has no desire to tell stories

long at this time. It is the same as taking his time

same Laras and Vim don't want that. Even the night is getting thick to tell a long story.

"I have to go home now."

Vim stood up to get home.

"Remember Laras think again about Rony. I want what's best for you."

Laras nodded in response to Vim. Vim's treatment was sweet once tonight and his attention to Laras flattered Laras.

The barrel follows Vim to the door. It feels hard for Vim to

step home. The last time he looked at Laras. Something was stirring inside his chest.

His desire to hug Laras was very great, then kiss Laras' cheeks and lips. All of that raised Vim's wish to get wild.

"Mas don't be dumb."

"Eh.. Ja. I'll go home first. Close the door."

"Yes. Be careful."

Dreaming I'm Laras. Choose me tomorrow or you'll have to be with me. You're safe with me.
