When Love Is Present

Chapter 35. Small Banquet.

Laras looks pretty tonight. Wearing her new dress with makeup that further accentuates her beauty.

One by one, family members congratulate. From his mother and father, mami and papi, Vim's best friend and also miss Sissy. Including Anita miss Sissy's sister whom her sister invited her that night. Not to forget Bibi Am and Pak Uun also gave a speech and do'a to Laras. Joel's assistant Vim could not attend fulfilling the invitation.

Simple but very meaningful event for Laras. All the attention was spilling on him. Finish the tumpeng cutting event, continue barbeque. Pak Uun and Bibi Am in the section preparing food ingredients for baking.

" How's your job Ed?" Vim opens a conversation between himself, Dion and Edo. Only the three of them were there. Laras was with miss Sissy, Anggia's wife Dion and Anita.

"Call there until the end of this month only. But I choose here." Answer Edo.

"You don't miss Kazumi?"

"Aahh don't call him anymore!. Traitors." Edo brushed off Vim's question. The Japanese girl was nothing more than Aurora. Traitors according to Edo. Vim chuckles.

"Indonesian girls only said." Dion opens the sound. Enjoy a cooked barbeque meal in front of him.

"Yeaah beauty Indonesian women like Laras." Edo won't lose. Waiting for the Vim reaction. He deliberately lured his best friend.

" That's like a lot of Baras. Just don't be barrelled." Vim poke Dion .

"Hey bro.stay choose which girl. You haven't met me either? Me and Vim can't wait to see you say your marriage contract."

Edo pretended not to hear Dion's words. Both of his friends make his ears hot. Always remind him that he began to look for a future companion.

However his heart had not been opened to other women after Kazumi left him to choose another man, he was slightly closed to women. No one could touch his heart. If there is it is Baras. Unfortunately Laras is owned by Vim.

"Look out front there. Among the four of them. That girl's name is Anita." Vim turned Edo and Dion's gaze toward Anita who was talking

talk.

"Ah yeah! Interesting as well . Who knows Anita's still single." Timpal Dion's. He stuffed the cooked shrimp into his mouth.

Edo glanced at Anita. What attracted his view was Laras. Edo's views are often fixed on Laras. Both are equally interesting but for Edo Laras more captivating heart. Although the status of Baras is not single anymore.

"Damn." Edo mutters.

"What's Ed??" Ask Vim quickly.

Edo sounded like he was cursing.

"No. What you call it is interesting but next to it is more interesting." Edo smiled meaningfully.

Edo's words make Vim sultry. Vim looked at Edo's sangar. Swallow Edo roundly.

"Bro open your eyes. Yang

you mean that Laras, is my wife. My staff are many beautiful and single all. You can choose one. How's it??"

"I knew. I can hold back. Be calm. Then the time will come when I will find. Believe it."

"Lagian.you.the wife of the man still you lyric. Thousands of women out there, man, can you point and make a wife. Move on bro!"

"OKAY. Okay fine! Enough."

Their conversation stopped as Anggia approached

them. Enough conversation between them.

"Darling to come papi, son. Mommy's going to get some food."

Anggia hands baby Devan to Dion. Dion did not refuse. Dion understands. Anggia has not eaten since.

Edo stood up leaving his two best friends. Walk to the dish table. There he took a drink of water called fruit water. Bring two glasses of fruit water to the Baras and friends

friends are.

Vim and Dion watch the movements of Edo . Together they looked and looked. Ask each other through the eyes.

"What do you want?" Vim didn't stop watching. This friend always makes his heart pump faster if he sees Edo adjacent to Laras.

"Calm down. He won't_.."

"It can happen."

"Keep your worries. Edo was aware of his position. He just admires Baras."

"Aahhh! If not, I've been talking about him since. God open his heart to other women." Vim Prayer for Edo. His desire to give a lesson to his friend who offered a glass of fruit water to Laras Untung alone Laras refused the drink. Slightly reduce the heat in Vim's heart.

"Heheheheh. Look Laras did not accept the glass. You don't be afraid. I see Laras loves you and she's kind of a loyal woman."

"Crazy him. When can I move on. From the first look Laras already looks flabby."

"You suspect him??" Dion asked to make sure.

"Yes clear!" Vim answered confidently.

"I don't think it's possible. Basic Edo!!"

"Hmmm. Does he think women are just barren on the face of this earth?

Barrels mine. I've been wearing bro."

"Haha.he's still sane. Rest assured. Won't take yours."

"Hopefully."

Edo put the drink he had offered to Laras to the table next to him. Not offering to anyone else, Miss Sissy or Anita.

"Sir Edo introduce. This is my tutor. I'm tutoring English."

Handshaking occurred between miss Sissy and Edo.

"Sissy."

"Edo. Nice to meet you."

"I'm happy too." Reply miss Sissy.

"Introduce me too, brother. It's Anita."

Edo and Anita throw each other

a smile.

"Please talk again. I'm sorry."

Edo. Now he walked over to Papi Vim and Laras' father who were chatting. Vim was there too. Dion with his wife and baby Devan at Dion's place. The little family looks happy.

Occasionally baby Devan yells cheerfully typical of babies. His mother laughed watching him.

While Mami Vim and her mother Laras take the place themselves. Mami Maharani invites aunt Am to join the meal together. All the ingredients had been baked so that Bibi and Pak Uun could rest.

"If Laras gives birth, I'll be here taking care of Laras until she's healthy and strong. We can take Wirda's turns." Mami Maharani said her plan.

"Monggo. Just be organized." Wirda's mother Laras agreed. Grateful in-law Laras cares for the child alone puppet it.

"Sorry, ma'am. If later Baras fussed out of labor. Understandably a bit spoiled."

The aunt who heard the conversation of the two middle-aged women felt astonished. Already changed their minds about the delivery of young lady while the stomach is not Laras alone there is no baby candidate, thought the Aunt.

At the end of the meeting. The little banquet ended because the night was late. A wave of hands accompanied the departure of the guests.

Friends and friends have left the house Vim leaving happy for the owner of the house.

Each one rested in the room. The barrel rests its head on Vim's right shoulder. His right hand was coiled in Vim's stomach.

"Thank you for the party."

"not party. Just a small meeting. Just a thank you? It's not polite."

Laras chuckles.

"What fantasy dong? I usually just say thank you. Thank you very much for everything."

"Return of love. Give me another one." Vim said bluntly.

"What's that??"

"You're pretending you don't know. Which concerns the activities on the bed between husband and wife." Firm Vim. Baras scrunched his forehead.

"Jeez mas.talk directly why. I have to figure it out."

"Now do you understand?"

"Understanding the hell but.." Barrels like holding pain. He held his stomach. Maybe because he ate mostly sambal earlier.

"My stomach is heartburn. I'm going to the toilet." The barrel holds his stomach.

"Huuu.ya already go to the toilet. Not long!"

"No."

Barrel came back again but approached the dresser. Take one of her perfumes and apply it behind the earlobe.

"Totally long." Vim alerted Laras that he was waiting for Laras.

"Mas waiting for me?"

"She hugged you." Vim is honest.

"Come here. No need to be beautiful tonight. You just like me." Vim combed with his seduction. Smile on the lips Laras.

"It has. It's time to go to bed."

Bring Laras. Pulling the blanket all over her body.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Not too sleepy."

They are equally stretched. Silent moment.

"I wonder what Edo thinks. Tell me honestly." Vim's voice with no emphasis at all.

"Sister Edo?? Why are you asking?"

Their tone of speech was very calm. Vim asked without the slightest emotion. Laras too. The two did not look at each other. But looking ahead.

"I just want to know my opinion

you."

"Could you?"

Why he only asked Edo. Dion wasn't. Is it because Dion's not single anymore?

"Very curious Baras."

The barrel takes a deep breath and then throws it away slowly.

"Sir Edo is handsome of course. Just like you." Laras glanced at Vim with his tail.

"He's kind, not arrogant and.like that."

"Do you like it?"

Jamb..

What kind of question is this?

"Did you see me like it? I told you I don't have any feelings for her. Enough is it?"

The barrel asked. Whether possessed by what Vim, asked about Edo to him. He and Edo have no other relationship than friendship. Vim's best friend is his friend too.

"Edo likes you Laras."

"Then why? Everyone's right to like others." Clever minded barrel.

"I'm afraid if you're tempted by her."

Laras laughed for a moment at Vim's words. Facing his body to the side. Seeing Vim still staring far ahead.

"Because of that, yes, I asked. About the deepest heart. It's not as easy as flipping a palm to put it anywhere." Tonight's barrel is getting smarter. Hopefully Vim will understand more and more about his heart to others.

"Trust. In my heart there is only you." Continue to entertain Vim.

"What if he wants to take you away from me??"

Vim is still hesitating. Edo had seized his mind.

"Haha where is possible. I'm not special at all. There's a lot better out there than me with a different status than me. I'm still yours. Forever." Laras.

"really? Whatever the hell's going on?

"Yes. Whatever happens. Enough of my explanation. Go sleep. It's so late."

"Thank you for your love Laras. I'm happy to have you."

Vim stroked the head of the barrel.

"I am also a mas. Ilove you. Whatever happens."

"I've always wanted to be with you Laras."

"I'm also a mas."

Night is a silent witness of peace among them. Two hearts that have found a match for each other. Not wanting to be separated forever..
