When Love Is Present

Chapters 17. Starting the Day Two.

Barrel wriggling awake. Realizing the absence of Vim in the room. Combing hair and looking for Vim to the corner of the house. Not meet. Proceed to the front yard, left side and on the right page of the house, Laras found Vim was watching the surroundings.

"For me, what's there."

Vim just shut up. Then," Call me baby." Vim said again without looking.

The barrel breathes slowly and deeply.

"What's wrong there?"

"I enjoy the morning atmosphere. Still beautiful not tainted cigarette smoke."

"Mas didn't wake me up."

"You're so good."

"We're in, baby."

Vim is reeled with a Barrel inducement.

Following the Barrel into the house. Go straight to the room and lie down again.

"I'll get you breakfast."

"No need. I've eaten."

"Oo.if that's how I stay back.

"Go."

Laras feels himself careless letting Vim find breakfast on his own. Though at his parents' house he was usually served by a maid or Laras. But nothing new this first time they are together officially, Inner Laras.

Barrel back, greet Mom and the brothers and go into the bathroom. Clean yourself there with cold water in the area where Laras lives.

Brrrr.

The barrel wrapped around his body with a big size towel. A moment of silence adapting to the cold. Then he put on the clothes he was carrying. Reluctant to wear change of clothes in the room because there is Vim. The shame of his body was seen by Vim.

"Your problem is waking up faster than Vim why?"

"Mom, Laras feels cape once so that Laras sleeps really good. Not aware of the time mas Vim woke up."

"Effortable yes Laras, except when not feeling well." Mother's Advice.

"Alright mom. Run if you need to use an alarm."

Mother is very attentive. Until something so small is reminded.

"Now invite your mas to eat, pity just ate noodles."

"So Laras offered but refused."

"so. The barrel is fine bringing you, son. You're now a man's wife." Mother Message.

"The barracks will remember Mom's message."

"Good."

"Step to the room first, ma'am."

"Yes." Yeah."

Laras thought his world was narrow. His daily life is in his mother's house and the residence of the Maharani Mother. Travel out of the house if invited by Maharani Mother to go shopping or to the salon. More

he did his job at his mother-in-law's house. After this it could be that Laras went back to live there following Vim.

I don't feel like time is going fast. Vim who had fallen asleep was awake. Laras accompanied earlier while packing as soon as possible into the closet.

Drrrr.

Vim grabbed the hp that just shook. Call from Mr. Uun.

"Siang Den, soon the new driver picked up Den Vim and Non Baras."

"Good Sir. Thank you." Thank you."

The call was stopped by both.

"Preparate Barrel. The driver's coming to pick me up."

"Good on."

"Don't you bring any more pajamas."

"I like it."

"I don't like it."

"What am I wearing to change??"

"Later sought. Bring what matters."

Are pajamas not important?? There's no way the negligee I brought. He might get angry later.

"Have you? The others are ready yet?"

"Already mas. They know the time."

Everyone is getting ready to move to the hotel for the reception later tonight.

Mother's voice called Laras. He said the driver had come to pick me up. Barrel and Vim come out with a medium size bag.

"Good afternoon Den. Meet me Topo." Say hello to the driver.

"Good day, Kang."

The barrel goes into the car followed by Vim. The driver runs the car on Vim's orders. Then they both shut up. Respectively

each one thinks about the reception tonight. Hopefully smoothly.

Vim sees tension on Baras' face. Vim himself was a little relieved after the event yesterday morning went smoothly. For him yesterday was the most important moment where he had officially interrupted Laras. Means he is entitled entirely to the Baras according to religious law.

The luxury of the party is beyond doubt. There is also Edo there who looks fun talking to other guests. Then there's Dion and his little family and Vim's relatives. Almost midnight the party's just over.

"Aaaahh."

Vim drops his body into the bed, as usual if he feels tired. The barrel cleans the makeup that sticks to the face. He just remembered about clothes to sleep on. Wearing what?

"Dear my shirt?"

"No need to wear clothes"

"Haaahh???"

"She's wearing a blanket. It's big and thick."

"No ah."

"Let's open those gifts. Maybe there's a pretty dress for sleeping . Dion said when they got married, there were five gifts of sexy women's nightgowns, which Anggia received."

"Help me look for her."

Barrel stopped looking. His body leaned against the wall. His face began to turn sullen.

"Well this. You're lucky your body was covered by this set."

Vim handed over the women's nightgown with a sexy design, which ngetopnya throughout the universe.

"Anggia and Dion."

From Dion apparently. Chequek. Capturing the lingerie product, Vim sends his pot to Dion with a mocking tongue emoji.

"Thin one."

"Indeed so. Just put it on."

"No way."

"Whatever. I'm sleepy."

Actually what Laras is looking for is pajamas but Laras has not found the object, precisely what he gets is a thin product that looks at the shape of the body if used.

He saw that Vim had closed his eyes. Baras watched himself for a moment.

Not long before Laras laid his body next to Vim with the bathrobe still attached to the body.

It is better to use the bathrobe alone than the thin L laugh.

...~~...

The cloudy morning..

Vim woke up first. Wash your face and then grab a hp.

"Last night Aurora asked you. At one."

Deg. Instantly Vim's heart was like it was in a hammer. It hurts to read that name. A short message from Edo.

What cares about me. There's no time or space for you anymore Aurora. Just like you left me back then. See your replacement more beautiful, right?

Vim's face turned flat. Vim glanced at Aurora who was still wrapped in a blanket. Implied peace on his face as innocent as his heart. Vim believes Laras is not the same as Aurora. Will not betray Vim.

Flashback.

"Vim I have to go according to papa's wishes. Take good care of yourself. May you be happy. I'm sorry Vim."

That was the message Aurora sent to Vim. Without explanation, without any previous story if Aurora has a problem. Terribly

painfully.

Vim had just attended Aurora's graduation two days earlier. Everything looks fine. Both of Aurora's parents seemed to be siding with Vim. Agree with their relationship. They even dated from their time in High School. Vim and Aurora already know each other's families. No one objected from the family. Vim and Aurora are very compatible in their view.

But God has other plans. Aurora was married to someone else by her papa. That day Vim roared with anger and heartache. Locking the room all day and forced the door to be broken into by Mr. Uun Driver on the orders of the Empress Mother.

The whole room was made poranda by Vim. There was only one more step for Vim to propose to Aurora but the girl chose someone else without the story that Vim heard a single shred of her.

Vim frustrated. Almost three months Vim thought less of himself. Sleeping or not sleeping is not a problem for Vim. Spend more time in nightclubs than thinking about tomorrow's move. Edo and Dion take turns keeping Vim at the nightclub.

Until one night Vim came home with a mouthful of alcohol. Fired by Edo, his loyal friend. Papi Vim, who was waiting that night, blocked from the door of Vim's room which was connected to the family pool.

Plaaac. Plaaac.

Loud slap on Vim's cheek. Vim continued to blabber irregularly.

" Oom again." Edo.

Edo keeps getting Vim to the bathroom. Sit it there and flush the Vim with water. Dunking down with a towel, undressing Vim and pairing dry clothes. Edo took Vim to the bed. Look at Vim's face with pity.

"I'm home oom."

"Thank you, Edo."

"Same-sama oom."

Edo. Vim was left alone. Until here Vim heard this story from Edo the next day because the morning Vim was called again by Mr. Dewantara in his study.

Vim gets another hard slap that leaves a wound on the corner of the lip. The papa was really angry.

Vim had no intention of fighting back because he knew he was guilty. He's looking down deep.

Vim was given time to improve. If not changed Vim will be kicked off the family list. The wobble from Papa flowing that morning watered Vim's arid soul. In his own way. In a way papa who firmly but menengena eventually Vim's way of mind back good.

Vim then submitted a request for schools in the country of people to parents. Papi and Mami are supportive and very grateful that Vim is no longer confined to the past.

In the place where Vadli lived - his eldest brother - Vim studied. There with Vim's strong determination he sought busyness on the sidelines of his lectures. As a result Vim can get rid of the influence of Aurora. Removing the girl from her heart even though Aurora's shadow is sometimes present is disturbing.

Vim returned to his original self. It's just that when the pain in his heart arises when he remembers Aurora, Vim seeks escape drunk again. Forgetting the pain in an instant way even though it cannot just disappear.

Off Flashback.

"Mas daydreaming??"

Soft greeting Barrels

the Vim reverie. The barrel sits next to Vim.

"Dreaming what. Sorry I just woke up."

"No problem."

Tiii.

Hp light up display incoming messages. Both eyes are directed to HP. Coincidentally hp was left open by Vim from earlier. Still on private line with Edo.

Vim read for a while then handed the phone to Laras.

"Can I read it?" Tanya Laras hesitated.

"Read. I don't keep any secrets from you except those related to my company's secrets."

The barrel sees only those sentences

the words from Edo came in. Vim did not reply to the message once.

"Aurora has divorced. This is the picture of the divorce paper."

"I don't care anymore."

Laras gave thanks in his heart. Vim well-intentioned forget about Aurora.

"Then what do you think?"

"I want to love you with all my soul and body."

"Aahh right??" Tempta Laras's.

Laughter Laras sound crisp and loose. His eyes narrowed almost completely shut. Vim really likes it.
