When Love Is Present

Chapters 111. Endeavored.

Vim rests his back on the end of the bed. Sadness, exhaustion and despair radiated on his face.

"White I'm fine. Papi doesn't have to take care of me here" Vim said. Staying in solitude is better than being accompanied. Long daydreams will be disturbed if someone accompanies Laras except here. He is the comfort of Vim.

"The fire rarely comes here Vim. Papi wants to be close to you."

"Then papi's there. I'm going to sleep."

"Hmmm. Vim.papi remembered when you were a child, you never cried when your body was injured by falling. Mami's so worried but you're still sitting around waiting for Mami to clean your wounds and give you medicine." Pak Dewantara's story.

"And I sat down and casually finished the ice cream you gave me. Hahaa..mami nagged me for that."

"Yaaahh and that's what papi wants, Vim." Vim's face changed hearing papi's words. He smiled blandly.

"You wake up every time you fall and you never cry. You're often the champion in every swimming race. Vim..papi wants to see the old you, who never knew the word surrender."

"I'm powerless. I'm weak."

"Rise Vim. The world is still vast for you to conquer. Everything can change if you want. Just one time you're on a rampage. Papi doesn't want to see this again."

Triiiie.

Voice call from mobile phone in papi.

"Yes. No. gabe. I just want to see my grandson at Vim's house. Yeah, don't wait for me to come home."

"Mommy??" Vim guesses and is countered by a nod by papi.

Papi said again, "You better move in the lower room. That's better for you."

Barrel came to give papi a blanket. Put a pillow on the sofa. Papi wants to sleep on the couch.

"The lower room is not spacious" said Vim.

"Laras and Vian can sleep in the other room."

"Where is Vim, pih. Laras just come. In the room under the view is better. Open the window immediately looks garden. Vim wants to?" Ask Barrel to Vim.

"Can."

Laras and Mr. Dewantara smiled. Vim is more free to move in the lower room and can occasionally enjoy the outdoor air even around their home. The view towards the garden refreshes the eyes as the window curtains are revealed.

The next day the Devantara sir called Dion and Edo to raise Vim. Their large bodies were very much in a draw to lift Vim's body.

"Slowly. Don't let you topple over. Could fall all four of us." So said Dion.

They went down the stairs carefully. Vim was on a folding stretcher carried by his two best friends.

"Look.welcome right? Vim..your body is gaining weight," Edo chirped.

"Eyeem...." Dion gives Edo a signal. One word could make Vim hurt.

"Yes that. It's not hard, my job is just eating!" Vim ketus's.

Mr. Dewantara pushing a wheelchair. Vim was sitting there.

"I can run it myself." Vim moves the wheelchair with both hands.

"Let's drink the water. You can go home when you have lunch."

Baras brought cold drinks. Edo did not glance one bit to keep his best friend's feelings.

"This is the cake that Viky just sent. Eaten by brother."

"Thank you, Baras. Don't have to get rid of everything. The host does not go later.hahaa." Dion laughing.

"Paid the same Dion." Edo.

"Pend it, brother. Issued to eat."

Vim looked at Laras without a blink.

How come you smile so sweetly, Laras. There is no sadness in your heart.

"Give this to Vim, Barrel." Dion handed the plate containing the cake and Barrel received the plate.

"Would you like?" Ask Vim.

"I'll just go later."

Barrel smiled faintly and turned around putting the dishes onto the table.

Auntie came to tell me the food was finished. The barrel pushes Vim's wheelchair into the dining room. They eat without saying much.

...•°•°°•°•°...

Barrel notices the envelope that aunt handed him. Read the address section. Vim's full name is listed there and Laras's view is blurred. He closed his eyes for a moment. Open your eyes and convince you of what you see.

"Non's okay?" Ask the aunt who is still in front of Laras.

"less good. Bi... This house will be confiscated bi."

"What non?? How can?"

"Can bi."

The barrel enters another room. Pensive there so Vim doesn't see. How'this? The house will be confiscated for arrears of depositing in the bank. The barrel spins the brain. Then imagine her expensive jewelry. Yes he had to sacrifice a set or two of the jewels to save the house he was using.

It requires him to think smart. Vim agrees or not, Laras will still walk.

"Mas.I'll work."

You said it again Baras. I'm totally useless. I'm just a parasite.

"Thus we can settle our obligations to the bank."

"Sell all your land and jewels. All that's enough to cover the bank and the need."

"Where is it enough?"

Gradually everything will run out and I can not stand still, mas.

Vim speechless. As much as possible savings without the effort to replenish, will decrease eventually.

Silence Vim victory for Laras. Vim's silence meant agreeing to Laras' decision.

Laras started preparing job applications. Vim found Laras so busy and excited. He could no longer ban Laras because he could not give his best to Laras. Because he is Laras now experiencing difficulties.

A call from the night entertainment venue received Laras. The position offered is quite good as a representative of the owner of a large cafe. Laras only need to leave for work from afternoon until nine pm. His salary can cover his daily needs.

Every day Laras comes home at night. Vim looked on dislike. Negative thoughts begin to permeate Vim's mind. Laras became a comfort woman. Vim sneers.

"Isn't there a better job, Laras?" Ask Vim one night. Barrel just came home that night.

"It's good for you."

"Don't you say? Gathering with people is not clear."

"It's not clear how?"

Laras felt himself doing nothing wrong. He works in a closed room. Study and receive reports every day. That'sthat's all.

"Not all of them are good, Barrel."

Vim recalled the time Laras first looked for Vim at the club. Vim remembered the innocence of Laras. Now Laras has to work in more or less such a place. What can?

"I can take care of myself." Barrels combing hair. He just combed without reflecting.

"I'm worried about you."

"Well, everything will be fine. Your prayers are protecting me."

If daily needs can be covered, not with the collateral of the house. One piece of jewelry has been sold to cover delinquent bills. Should Laras sell another piece of jewelry.

"It was late at night. Let's go to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy."

"Oh yes mas..mas Viky nanya, therapy with Dr. Andreas began when?"

Viam silent. Not interested in answering. He did not want to trouble his brothers. They've helped Vim's company. Do not be bothered again by thinking about the cost of treatment Vim.

Beyond the expectations of Laras, Vim asks, "What have they done to you?"

"Who are they?"

"They're at the cafe."

"What are they doing? Ahh there is no. I don't talk to them directly."

"Oh yeah? You're not lying, are you?"

"Mas??" Baras scrunched his forehead.

"I never lied to you."

Vim looked at Laras. Baras is young. Like everyone else, the baras are also human. Has a desire and desire and unfortunately Vim can not meet the needs of Laras. Is it impossible to find satisfaction out there?

Vim brushed off the bad thoughts that flashed.

"Not to be discussed anymore. My intentions are really seeking a fortune. Not the others. Throw that ugly thought away."

"Do I have to trust you?" Vim gamang's.

"Then? You don't trust me??"

"Of course."

"Yes God. I really work mas. Believe it."

"Well I believe. I hope you can keep my trust."

"certain."

Loneliness is approaching Vim. The nights passed quietly. Waiting and waiting for the return of Baras. Secuil safety concerns Baras is always present every night.

If there is still a tucked away despair, why let it pass?
