When Love Is Present

Chapters 20. The Unexpected Meeting.

Vim turned to the left and to the right looking for his uncle named Vici. Why Vici doesn't look around. Vim suddenly fretted. Where's Vici

disappear. He kept looking for Vici behind every shirt he hung on but didn't see the boy. His heart was agitated as he continued to search. What if Vici wasn't found.

Vim hands Arika over to Laras while he will search for Vici further away from where the girls' clothes are on display. His heart was overwhelmed with turmoil. What if Vici took people away. Vici where are you going.

Laras continues to choose clothes for Vini by holding Arika's hand so that the child does not go far from her.

"Would this be dear?"

"You aunt. Vini likes that one."

"We pay ya. Come on."

Vim did not stop looking. For him the absolute Vici found otherwise Vadli would scold him all out. Keeping just one is not so bad. Not yet the look of Vadli's face that was angry made Vim nervous to imagine it. Not to mention his guilt towards Sinta. The look on Sinta's face is full of worry when she finds out her son is missing. Vim rubbed his face rough.

God where the child is. Show me.

Now Vim has been away from Laras. Without Vim realizing his legs have arrived in the clothing section of adult women. Clingukan while calling out the little name Vici. Up in front of the left side of the dressing room, Vim saw Vici talking to a boy of Vici's age.

Vim breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Vici was there.

Vim's face shone with joy. Finally found the one that was sought. Vim rushed forward to Vici. Down embracing Vici. Relief was on Vim's face.

"The vic! You're doing here. Oom's looking for you."

"Oom!! Vici has a new friend. His name is Rafli."

Vici showed her new friend. The boy called by his name smiled. Replied by Vim with a smile.

"Yes but Vici should have asked permission first if he wanted to come here.

Oom's looking for you, baby. If Vici's taken people, mommy daddy can be angry with oom."

"I'm sorry Vici oom."

Vici hugged Vim tightly and a pitying face afraid of being scolded by Vim. The five-year-old was taught by her mother to apologize if she had done something wrong.

"Who is Raffli here?"

Vim asked friendly. Humbling his tennor voice so that Raffli did not feel afraid.

"I'm the same mom oom."

"Oo.. Where is your mom?"

"Oom there."

Raffli pointed at the dressing room. My mom is inside.

"Raffli is here until mom comes out. Vici's going home with oom."

Raffli nodded his head. Vim and Vici turned around to pass but to Vim's surprise, a person standing in front of him had just walked out of the dressing room. The clothes in the woman's hands were thrown to the floor immediately. Everyone still does not believe what they see.

"Guvi!!"

"Mr Vini.!!

The second shout resuscitated Vim. Behind Vim there is Laras who immediately turned his body by holding Arika.

Just then also Laras felt hot embers in his heart that suddenly lit up. Baras felt his heart ache. Want to go home immediately and water his body with water so that the coals are extinguished and his heart slightly cool.

"Ras wait!!! We're home!!"

Sahutan Vim is not ignored Laras. The sooner you get home the better. He continued to walk by holding Arika. Arika's weight is quite heavy to make Laras breath up and down. Tired but still forced to carry. Until the barracks arrive at the exit. In back of

his Vim and his two spears followed Laras.

"Ras you angry? What you saw wasn't what you thought."

"I'm not angry. Take the car. It's approaching night, we have to go home.." Said Laras trying to be as calm as possible but deep down

he felt pain as if slashed sebilu caught Vim with another woman.

My heart hurts so much but why do I feel this. Why I was looking for him. I should have stayed where I was.

Vim stops the car right in front of Baras and the ponakan.

Guiding his parents to get into the car one by one. Silence is created between Vim and Laras. Each of them drifted in silence during the return journey. From the rearview mirror in front of her Vim can see Laras with her lips tightly clenched. Vim won't bother you.

Really don't want to talk to him. But God be quiet, she is beautiful.

"We have arrived! Vini, Vici can come down. Slow down."

"Yes oom." Vini opens the door after Vim releases his seatbelt.

"Tante.. down."

Vici's call surprised Laras from daydreams. Barrels

shift his body towards the door. Then go down with little Arika and Vici. Arika who had set foot on the floor, ran cheerfully into the house.

"Well are you still angry?" Ask Vim curiously.

"Who said? Not really."

Laras. Actually the tears will come down Laras considering the incident earlier. Accidentally seeing Vim with the woman. The woman who just called her name Laras began to be reluctant. Baras doesn't like the girl. The barrel is completely carried away feeling. Even avoiding Vim who tried to explain the real situation.

...~~...

In the evening...

On the left side of the dining table are the Maharani Mother, Vim and Laras. To the right of the table look Vadli and Sinta then Viky and Alya. Mr. Dewantara is at the end of the table.

The children were gathered into one in the living room in front of the television accompanied by Nis' assistant Aunt's chief aide. On the table have prepared three plates for children's dinner.

Plus two side dishes for extra.

As usual the family dinner is used to greet each other and ask about each other on this day. That familiar atmosphere had already lasted from the still small Vim brothers. If they used to mock each other at the dinner table for anything, now focus more on talking about work or things about their small family.

Maharani's mother took food for Mr. Dewantara. Then alternately Sinta scoops food for Vadli and so on Alya and Laras do the same for their respective partners.

"But hearing Nomissi is a bit shaky."

"It's possible to remember the people who run it that way." Vadli chimed in papi's speech.

"Learn from there, Papi wants you to stay solid. Take care of what you've been building for a long time."

"Not going to pi." Now Viky's talking to papi.

Vim did not speak. Mundah gulana still whack Vim heart so pay less attention to the conversation. The barrel that was indifferent to him made Vim's heart fret.

But Vim knows what Nomissi is. A large company owned by the Rony family. Papi said earlier, a bit shaky at the moment. Well it's only natural. Vim knows how the Rony family really is.

"Yes mi."

"Why is it special to me?"

Vim glanced at his brother's plate All took a vegetable bean sprout but a little.

"So fast so."

"So what's mi??"

"Mommy's Grandson." My mom laughed after that.

"Mommy's grandson Mami's already three."

"It's true but Mami hasn't gotten a granddaughter from you and Laras. Then don't postpone it later."

Vadli finished dinner. Leaving the dining table towards the children, followed by their papi. Next they gathered in the family room. Women clean the dining table.

"So we leave after tomorrow?" Ask Vim.

" so. You're taking him?" Vadli asked back.

"Can. When's Viky?"

"I'm tomorrow. You want to take us along too?"

"If I can't tomorrow. There's work till night."

"OKAY. Mr. Uun, then." Viky understood his sister.

"Vim. the other half of the capital you give, after that you can save your money."

"real Pi. Pray for a smooth and fast forward pi."

"of course. Papi's happy if you succeed."

Mr. Dewantara was happy even though he did not go after Vadli, it turned out that Vim could

running a new business here.

Slowly the results began to show.

The conversation continued until Vim came into the bedroom. Brother and papi keep telling stories and exchanging opinions.

In Vim's room, he found that Laras had not slept. Still staring at the ceiling.

"What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Baras replied a little surprised.

"Lied."

"really. There's nothing."

"Come here. You're too over the edge."

Barrel looked to the left side. It felt far from the bed.

Vim grabbed Laras' body. Clutching Laras with his sturdy arms. The barn is comfortable there. The fragrant aroma of perfume on Vim's body that is not too strong gives its own impression for Laras.

"You're mad at me? You jealous, huh??"

"A.what? Ti.no. Who said I was jealous?" Nervous barrel.

"You can't cover your feelings, Laras. Your attitude shows that."

Laras cheeks met with red, embarrassed Vim could guess the contents of his heart.

"We are now husband and wife. Open up to me about everything, okay? Tell me if you're upset with me. I will accept because in marriage, we should be able to accept our spouse. All the good and bad of the couple in the sense of the advantages and disadvantages of each."

Verily, love is always in Vim's heart to Laras. If it used to be anchored in Aurora's heart, it's just part of Vim's destiny. He relented so that Vano would be happy to get the Baras. That was enough for Vim. Blessed Vano his sister.

A sprinkling of flower petals formed to resemble a heart on a bed, now scattered on the floor. It crashed when Laras pulled the blanket and sniffed inside.

"Now tell me what's stuck in your heart?" Vim asked, but Laras did not want to talk.

They both face the ceiling. Vim rubbed Laras' left arm.

"Do I have to convince you that Aurora means nothing to me? My heart is filled with you."

The incident was at the mall playing in the eye pelupuk Laras. Seeing Vim and Aurora both staring at each other as he approached Vim with Arika in his sling.

"Arika is here. You said he was abroad." Finally, Baras spoke as well.

"I just found out that he was here. I never saw him again. Really."

The arrival of Aurora is not impossible to open opportunities for them to become familiar again. Said the man ce el be ka. It was raging in the minds of Laras. Barrels too far to think.

Vim snuggles back Gently.

"My heart is filled with you. You'll never be displaced by anything. Understood?"

Laras nodded.

"I'm sorry, mas."

"It's okay. This is the beginning of our process of living together."

Vim tipped the forehead Laras. Spoiling Laras with his attention as husband. Taking on the role of husband even though Vim had just started out while with Laras.

Touching Laras carefully just didn't want Laras to feel hurt by her treatment. There was no longer any distance for the two of them because they had become a new couple who were sailing the household ark. Vim as the leader of the ark must be able to take control including directing his wife as his life partner.

Everything went so well. Vim is carried away in love and his feelings for Laras and Laras are - first time - the

feeling the touch of a man consciously. A touch that lifts and catapults Laras in millions of flavors that are difficult to decipher in words.

Until in the end, Vim complained and let out a voice implying annoyance.

Ahhhhh.

Laras heard the sigh because Vim was still above Laras. He saw Vim rub his face. Here was his disappointed face mixed with anger.

"I'm sorry Laras. Ilove you. Even love you so much."

"What's wrong?"

Laras doesn't understand Vim's intentions as to why Vim apologized.

Laras's question was not answered by Vim but her husband returned to Laras.

The shadow of his face was present again Laras. Help me to eliminate it. I really don't want it anymore. Our story is over. Get away from me...Auroras.
