When Love Is Present

Chapters 27. Thank You Dear.

The sun has shone brightly. Time showed at ten o'clock in the morning but Laras had just opened his eyes. The shame of just waking up while in his house there is the in-laws.

Barrel tried to get up and walk. The pain was reduced even though he tried to move his legs normally without limping.

The door rang. Barrel looked for Vim's figure but there was no one in the room. Looking for her mother-in-law but not seeing her. Then there was the sound of the motor engine roaring slowly and strongly alternately. Sound from the side page.

Laras is heading there. He saw that Vim was dealing with his motorcycle. Check carefully what needs to be done on the motor.

"Where's mommy going? How quiet."

"Mommy's home, baby. Mommy sends greetings to you."

Oh, my God, what kind of daughter-in-law am I. My in-laws came home and I didn't take it off.

"Oh my goodness. I'm sorry I let mom come home just like that."

Laras patted his forehead.

"It's okay, baby. My mom understands. Mami knows us the same." The kiss of Vim landed on the forehead of Laras. Dribbling Laras sits on a chair facing a small and elongated swimming pool.

Vim took off his t-shirt and shorts. Attach clothes on the back of another chair next to the barrel.

Byuuurr.

Vim splits the pool water and continues to move forward all the way to the end, turning back again in the opposite direction. The barrel watched without blinking.

His desire to play water with Vim but his body is not too fit. The water is so refreshing.

Vim reaches to the edge of the pool and picks up the towel that is always available in place.

Replacing his wet pants with his shorts. Approaching Laras and one kiss stop at the lips Laras.

Laras cheeks blushing. Reply with a kiss on Vim's right cheek.

Baras finds Vim's eyeball looking at him without blinking at all making Laras misbehave.

"Ehem."

Vim realized his position. Now he changed his standing behind Laras. Put both his hands right on Baras' shoulder. His head is lower now. Ducking right over the head of the Barrel. Smelled of shampoo from his wife's hair. Next Vim's head is next to Laras' right cheek. The cheeks of the two almost touched.

"I'm happy Laras, to be by your side. Living with. Nothing means more than being with you." Vim takes out the heart

"Your people are a gift. Never get away from me." Laras replied holding Vim's fingers perched on his shoulder. Her gentle touch elicited a reaction in Vim's chest. A subtle sigh for a moment.

"This house witnesses our love Laras. I'm not gonna sell it no matter what."

"Hopefully nothing happens, baby. Forever ours."

"Hmm." Vim tipped the top of the head Barrel.

"You want to be here? My stomach is hungry." Vim bluntly.

"I'm sorry. The mas from behind me continued." Barrels thawing funny.

"Finished swimming feels hungry darling."

"Ok us into ya."

I finished cooking faster today. Knowing the house lady did not wake up in the early morning as usual, Auntie was quick to respond. Preparing breakfast for the Madam before she left the house of Vim and cooking for the Master and young lady. The results were seen at the dinner table. Rice, side dishes and other complementary foods have been served.

"Thank you Auntie. Today Laras doesn't help aunt in the kitchen."

"It's okay non. It's Aunt's duty. Madam Non Baras's message must not be too cape."

"Never cape Bi. There's an aunt helping." Baras blinked one of his eyes.

"Do you want to talk or eat?" Ask Vim half protest.

"Behold dear."

"Sorry Den. Non.aunt would like to clean the front room yes. Eating a lot is not healthy." Aunt passed by not wanting to bother her young master for longer.

"Yes Auntie."

For Laras Bibi it was like a family of his own. Sometimes Aunty gives advice and sometimes asks Laras to joke. While they were still at Vim's parents' house, Bibi and Laras often exchanged stories while finishing their work.

But soon Bibi came again carrying a medium-sized pot along with the lid.

"Auntie brought what?" Barrel asked first.

" Before going home the Madam told Bibi to boil betel leaves for non Laras. Make non-wash."

Laras and Vim looked at each other. Vim smiling amusedly also drifted half mischievously at Laras.. He knew Bibi meant that the water was for washing intimate organs.

"Aaa. ready to use a lot of bi."

"True non but Madam asked Aunt to prepare this stew and non have to wear. Auntie's in the upstairs room, yeah, no."

Mami could have. See he's happy to see me doing what Mami told me to do. Mamii..

"Can. Put it in the bathroom ya bi. Careful climb the stairs bi."

The barrel continues to spoon the food onto the plate for Vim.

"You noticed Mami in such a way but look Mami didn't leave anything for me. Did Mommy forget I was her son?"

The barrel laughed.

"So I'm not willing to pay Mami's attention to me? Since the baby got the attention of Mami."

"That's when I was a baby."

"Yes, I'll ask Mami who I want."

"No need. It's not the same with Mami."

"Yahaha.."

They both continued to eat lunch. Silent creeping. Each concentration consumes food. There was only the sound of the clanking of spoons touching the plate occasionally.

Vim takes a tissue and cleans the leftovers in the mouth.

"I'll go to the room first, sir."

For the first time Vim called Laras that name. More soothing heart Laras.

Barrels become deft in taking care of household matters now although still assisted by aunts. Not all but she is getting used to her duties as a wife.

The dining table was clean of food. All that was left there was a bunch of spoons and forks in his container with tissue in the tissue box.

The barrel visited the Vim in the room. Vim opens the laptop. Not wanting to disturb, Laras remained silent and looked at Vim from the bed.

He saw that face that looked calm in front. Not expecting such a calm face gives off a terrible anger if you are emotional. Vim raised his gaze. Go to Laras.

"You're here already."

"Serious times anyway."

"Connecting new products will be launching, require extra attention dear. To where the process is. Oh, I want to tell you something."

"Whatis that? Seriously?"

Vim walked closer to Laras. Sitting on the side of the Barrel. Dabbed

wipe the arm slowly. Caressing her hair was very careful as if she did not want to hurt.

"So when I start this business, I need a very large capital. For that I asked Papi for help to meet the less funds. Papi helped me with half the funds I needed. Thank goodness papi's help is almost done next month."

Vim stopped for a moment. Seemed hesitant to continue his sentence. Baras looked at Vim right in his bead. There he saw unrest.

"Thank God. I'm glad to hear that. Is there any more mas?"

"There's Laras but I'm asking you not to be mad."

"Say mas. Why do you doubt so. My wife will always be a listener." Say Baras wisely and convincingly. Vim did not expect Laras' mind to be like a grown woman.

" I actually made this house a guarantee for the cost of the business, because it requires very large funds. Additional funding from papi. I'm sorry Laras."

Vim awaits the reaction of the barrel. The barrel was silent with no expression of surprise at all.

"You started when we weren't married. At that time I had no right to this house so I had no right to be angry with you. Moreover, it was all for a clear and future purpose."

"Thank you dear. You understand very well. There is still half to cover. Actually it could be covered if the land from my papi sells."

Vim kissed Laras with a lot of joyful signs that his wife was not angry or beat him.

"Thank you dear." Vim again.

"Mas is ah. I can't breathe. It's okay, no need to sell land from papi. Use we got it mas."

"Thank you you could accept. I'll make up for this house again, baby."

"Now is there anything I keep from me?"

"There is but this is related to the product. Not everyone knows, just my best friend."

"I can't know?"

"no need. Only the product formula is kept secret."

"Oo that. Yes it is."

Vim was relieved to have told him the secret he kept. Most importantly for Vim support Baras with no anger or objection. For Laras itself is not a problem because the living from Vim remains smooth even though the responsibilities that must be met or paid are many. Means Vim's income and effort still cover all needs.

" You've said something. Can I not talk too?"

"You said what, honey. Say."

Vim grabbed the television remote. Looking for a channel. Opening up is not very strong.

"Gini. Actually I want to continue my English tutoring."

"You ever teach English?"

Vim asked feeling unsure of Laras.

"Iiiih mas.pernah time High School."

"Seriously want more tutoring?"

Laras nodded for sure.

"OK if you really want to. But wait a minute. How do you manage time?"

"After college assignments, in the afternoon I can start teaching English. Not every day her tutoring mas."

"Take your time in. You should remember Mami asked for a grandchild. If you're busy going to college, tutoring and taking care of me you'll be exhausted."

"Mas.please." Baras Kayu.

"By ya mas. I'll let you go later."

"alright. I'm looking for a private teacher."

"When you come to the course institution?"

"Its difficult for you to get to and fro."

"Yeah..." The sound of the barrel is weak and shrill.

"So you want to come to tutoring??"

Laras nodded.

"Not currently Baras. We are preparing the baby. From home just tutoring her ya."

The barrel breathes in.

"Yes already. What matters is les."

"That's dong." One kiss stopped by again on Laras' forehead.

"I don't mean to limit you. For your good as well."

Until there, Laras put his head on Vim's shoulder. Love always requires sacrifice. Therefore Laras did not want to demand more. Grateful for her husband to fulfill his wish.
