When Love Is Present

Chapter 22. Self Cooking.

Vim touched Laras' chin. Come to feel lara who is being Laras feel. He flicked the child's hair that dangled forward.

Then he said, "I am trying to get rid of Aurora and her shadows. Please help me Laras. I'm sure you can take my heart off just for you, because from the beginning I liked you long before Vano. I loved you before Aurora."

"We both tried. Help me forget Vano. Please hold my hand so I can love you all my heart."

Until here Laras back shed tears. If Vim had ever revealed his heart, Laras could feel the love of Vim. Consider Vim's love for her. Unfortunately Vim chose to give up from Vano. Vim chooses silence. Baras never knew Vim's heart.

It is only fitting that Vim is so badly wounded abandoned by Aurora. Twice he felt his heart hurt. Wishing to those who do not understand their sacrifice.

"Stop crying. The whole house will be suspicious to see your eyes. They're gonna accuse me of doing something."

"Mas makes me cry."

"I've already apologized. I didn't realize I was delirious at night. Just this once, right?"

Laras nodded. Slowly Vim rubbed his own face and stood up. All out of his will if he deliriates. Try to remember the dream that caused him to want but did not succeed.

"Together we repair ourselves Laras. In our own home we start a new life. There's just this thing about us and the kids."

"Help me mas."

"You can definitely be Baras. I'm sorry I had to keep you away from Vano. I have to keep my promise to make you happy. I don't want you locked away by the past.

"I understand mas."

Smile Expanding. Start accepting Vim's explanation.

He who was only twenty years old easily ignited emotions and Vim realized that. It was fitting for a more mature Vim to guide Laras in a better direction.

Laras looked at Vim's back. He had turned out to be no longer as rude as he once was. No more screaming.

"I want to clean myself up. You wanna come?"

Laras shook his head.

"I'll just go later."

"You're ashamed. Why shame, we are legal as husband and wife. Ayo."

Vim turned to approach Laras. Laras shook his head strongly. Baras wants to shower himself. The more trembling it felt as Vim advanced closer to him. The barrel stood up and ran away avoiding Vim. Vim laughed.

"You are why you should be afraid. I'm not a monster know!"

"I don't want to take a shower yet."

Face Welded barrel. Unimaginable by Laras with Vim alone in the bathroom.

"If love had no compulsion. I'm just bluffing you haha.."

Until when you avoid me. I'm your husband. Justjust look..

Two husbands and wives are boundless between giving and receiving. There is no distance between one another.

Vim understands Laras must adapt little by little to start a life together with him.

Until dinner time came, Vim chose to accompany Laras who did not want to join the dinner.

"Your stomach will be hungry if you don't eat. They are no longer in the dining room. You don't have to be ashamed."

Laras remains embarrassed if his swollen eyes are seen by a member of the house even if it's a maid's aunt. Better in the room first.

Vim took his phone and contacted the chief aide's aunt. Ask for dinner for him and Laras to the room.

Dinner came and they ate together like they were dating. If they never dated, now they just live it, especially Laras.

This is what it feels like to have a life friend. Laras felt in the clouds got preferential treatment from Vim.

Barrels are like having a life partner, a lover and also an older brother.

...🌺🌺🌺...

New home, new furniture and all new beginnings. In this house Laras will spend his days with Vim. Tucked happiness in the deepest recesses of his heart. Didn't expect Vim to prepare for all this. In his heart Laras promised to be wholeheartedly a dutiful wife and love her husband until death do them part.

"Mami Tipped Vim ya Laras. If he likes to scold you, say Mami yes."

"Thank you Mommy. Pray for us, mi."

"of course. May you be happy and always together."

As Mami said earlier when Vim and Laras say goodbye.

"Darling we will choose furniture tonight. Choose what you like."

"Good mas. It's nice interior."

A view of the room around the living room.

"Well.. Dion introduced me to his interior designer. Hope you like it."

"Like mas. Really great."

Vim faster to find designers

who decorate their living room. Unfortunately Vim has not filled it with a sofa. There were several choices of sofas proposed by the room stylist and have been adjusted to the color of the room. Vim has not given a decision because he will ask for Laras' opinion. Vim gives Laras the opportunity to choose a sofa because Vim has determined the color of the wall.

"Thank you for all this."

Vim hugged Laras. Slowly pecking the forehead. His imagination began to play at the sight of Laras' lips but Vim did nothing further.

In the dining room Bibi has finished preparing lunch and invited Vim also Laras to eat dishes. Laras and Vim welcome with pleasure.

Laras served with all his heart the mark of his service to the husband.

"Hunger, yes."

"If I knew having a wife was good, I was married." Vim let go of his laughter.

"If you get married first, I'm not here."

"Oiya, don't be. Thank goodness you're right next to me."

Vim ate it voraciously. It crossed my mind to prepare dinner. Laras will shop for a while, then cook food later in the afternoon.

"Why did you stop eating? It's eating again."

Laras refuses Vim's bribe but Vim insists on bribing him. Laras also gave up.

"I'm full already."

"Two spoons."

"Mas I want to go shopping up ahead. I saw a pretty complete mini market."

"You're looking for what. You can ask Mr. Uun to buy

it's."

"Mas' cooking. I want to know around here."

"You want to cook? We'll order some food tonight."

"I'm cooking for tonight."

Vim gulped down some water.

"Can you cook??"

"I always make breakfast at my mom's house, right?"

" But that's fried rice baby. That's also you're being led by Auntie."

"I want to cook and go shopping." Barrels sulking.

Seeing Laras' strong desire Vim so relented.

"Later I'll ask you to take Mr. Uun. Take it easy, I won't be lost."

"Your loss will make my heartbeat weaken."

Barrel squinted, "Has it?"

"Here hold first. Tomorrow we make your own cards."

The barrel accepts payment cards given by Vim.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Barrels staring at the food

the food is half a plate. His face was a little disappointed.

"There's still a lot of bi."

"It's okay later to spend Mr. Uun. Den Vim ate too."

Was forced. Vim ate Laras dishes but Laras saw Vim's face differently when eating Laras dishes just now.

"Why mas? Salty huh?"

Vim nodded his head with a face not until the heart revealed what he felt from Laras' butter fried chicken.

"I'm sorry I forgot to taste it. Apparently most salt."

"It's okay. What matters is that you've tried to get started. Vegetable's delicious. The black pepper meat was a bit bitter."

Vim blinked his eyes and left the dining table. Laras is sad. Actually Laras is not good at cooking, he just used to help aunty to pour vegetables and prepare spices. About the taste of the Aunt who handled.

Vegetable stir-fry broccoli and button mushrooms are not visible on the plate. Vim. This makes the bar a little amused.

"Don't give up on non. Try again tomorrow. Over time non so smart to cook."

"It won't be good anymore, bi."

"Auxiliary aunt non. Den Vim does not like salty that feels non."

The barrel does all of its own work before cooking. He did not ask Bibi how much salt he had to pour into his cooking and forgot to taste it. The fried chicken almost dried. The barrel immediately lifted off the stove.

"I'm at Mommy's house until the afternoon. Auntie just cook it. Later if someone replaces me there, we cook together ya bi."

"Yes non. Auntie ready anytime."

The barracks have to learn a lot about everything. Cooking, taking care of the husband including taking care of yourself to always be attractive in front of Vim. Baras felt how much he lacked.
