Ooopss.
Vim held back the small body that hit the front of his thigh before the child fell. Holds tight to both of those tiny shoulders. This kid surprised him. The child also showed a surprised face.
"You're here??? Where's your mama??" Vim asked in wonder. Release her hands on the tiny shoulder.
"Mama over there oom."
"You don't walk alone. Understood it? Wait for your mom."
The boy shook his head.
"I'm going there oom. Mama will pay." He spoke again with slurred speech.
"Okay but with your mama yeah. You're so handsome. Your dad must be handsome too. Can you tell me what your papa's name is?" Vim forgot for a moment his intention of taking the car.
"Papa Rony o'm."
"What???" The word just came out of Vim's mouth. Aurora and Rony?
"Oh no. Maybe you know him or maybe not." Vim speaks as for himself. Nibbling his temple plan.
Why should Rony's name be called again?
"I'm going there, um." The little boy was about to run away leaving Vim alone if only his mother's voice could not be heard calling his name.
"Rafli!! Baby you're going anywhere, son!" Aurora came in a hurry. Rubbing his son's face.Worry emanated clearly on his face.
"You're Vim..?"
"We accidentally collided here. You're so reckless Aurora, letting Rafli roam around here. Though deserted does not mean there is no evil."
"He ran away from me. I'm choosing something. Thanks Vim for reminding."
"Hold Rafli always. It's a fair look on Rony's face."
"Yes that guy Rony. Didn't you know all this time? Can't we talk for a minute Vim." Aurora made an offer. His eyes looked at Vim expectantly. Maybe a second chance for him.
"I don't want to know who you're going with. All I know is you left me, that's enough for me to forget you. Now you come again Aurora, but I don't have time for you. The barrel's waiting for me."
The new Vim will continue the delayed move. Leaving Aurora and her son. The longer standing there will only make his love rise to the surface. It makes him weak.
But in front there not too far from Vim stood, Laras was glued to the spot looking at Vim. His face implied a question mark and his heart was pierced with wounds. What is the husband doing with the woman. Behind Laras looks Edo walking forward. Just as Laras stepped forward towards Vim.
"Wait Baras. Where are you guys from?"
Vim had suspicions. Jealousy started burning her heart.
"I just want to ask, what are you doing here? Rendezvous?? Didn't you just say to meet a co-worker? So this is your coworker?" Laras's voice began to tremble in a sign of restraining anger and jealousy seeing Vim talking to Aurora. His heart ached seeing the appearance before his eyes. If only the tears were not held he might have raced wet his delicate cheeks . The eyes of Laras were disappointed. True, the eyes are a reflection of the heart. Glows in the eyes when a person is injured or in a state of anger.
"Sorry bro, Laras insists on buying his own souvenirs. I'm just delivering and watching. Get Laras from here."
Edo said after being beside Vim. Stand in the opposite direction to Vim. His words were enough to answer the question that was entrenched in Vim's mind. Edo could not even see Laras grieving so. Then walk up the hill to approach Dion and Anggia.
"The meeting with the colleagues is over. Didn't accidentally meet them here."
"Please continue. I'm back upstairs."
"Stay with me Laras. We'll take the car and go home." Prevent Vim. The Baras hand was within Vim's grasp and Laras' steps were restrained. Tears are still held back but ready to break the Baras defense.
"The book has closed its story. Wrapped very neatly and there is not the slightest gap that penetrates the book to be able to peek back at the story because the owner already has a new chapter. I hope your stories are like that." Laras tried to say something like that.
"Certain Baras. Let's go home."
Vim led Laras down the hill. Don't want Laras to get sad. They kept silent without a word until they got home.
"Tomorrow we'll go home." An annoyed tone was still heard at Laras' voice. It was hard for him to close his feelings in times of anger. Go straight to the bathroom. Shaking his body with water.
"We're going home tomorrow. Don't be mad at me. The barrel!" Vim hits the door. Didn't expect to meet Laras at the fruit shopping center. Laras had to look at Aurora again. It was the same as making his heart hurt. Vim understood but he could not escape. That's not his will. It was even more painful to face Laras who was angry with him.
The barrel of up to an hour does not show itself. The barrel flushes itself under the shower. Self lamenting.
Inside there the tears of Laras flowed profusely. Spill out sadness and sadness. Don't hurt me continue he said softly followed by a hiccup. His shoulders were shaken violently. Could it be that Vim lied to her or that Laras was too suspicious. They really have no relationship anymore. Question-a
questions play out in Laras' mind.
"Laras has bathed him dear. Open the door Laras. Barrels..." This time Vim did not scream. His voice began to weaken. Wrote without strength.
"good. If it's a relief to you do it but remember I never made a pact with Aurora to meet!" Vim left Laras in the room alone. Rubbed his nose and closed the door. While leaving Laras alone with his thoughts. May Laras be clear minded.
"Dining is available." Auntie greeted Vim in a subtle and polite manner. This master was daydreaming in a relaxed room alone. His face was cloudy like water that was not drained for a long time.
"Later bi. Please deliver food to the room for Laras. I don't have to."
"Good den."
And Vim was not the least bit tasteful to eat. His appetite evaporated. All he needed right now was the presence of Laras before him. The caresses and soft sayings of Baras and his genuine smile that could dispel the riled up in Vim's heart. In fact, the entertainer was run over. Maintaining the ego does not want to be approached. Vim sighed heavily. Grief is Vim's failure. Small failures make Laras happy.
Vim was wearing his thick shirt.
"Check all the doors and windows sir. I'm next door." He told Pak Uun later.
"Good den."
Vim out takes himself to Edo's bungalow. There he would close his eyes, if he could. Keep the distance to Laras for a moment so that his emotions do not explode because Laras ignored him.
Edo chuckled lightly as he opened the door for Vim.
"It's delicious, huh? Finally evacuate you too."
"You didn't tell me Laras was there this afternoon. She locked herself in the bathroom and ignored me."
"That's if you have an ex don't take care of it. Rasayn!"
Vim was not angry at Edo's words. Already very memorized with Edo words that are often heard mocking.
"Custodian? Huuhh.do not just maintain dizziness let alone maintained. I'm going to sleep."
"It's your pillow. There's no blanket."
"No blanket needed."
Vim closed his eyes even though his mind was wandering because he thought of Laras. He then turned his body to the right. Not long to face left. The excitement was read by Edo who had not slept. Body language that never lies. Anxiety cannot be masked simply by closing the eyes. Vim can't calm down.
"Sleep. Dream of your angel all night until morning."
"Whispering. Shut up, Ed." Refute Vim.
"Heheh. Bet tomorrow he's looking for you or not?"
"of course. He must have lost me. Wake up and I'm not next to her."
"What if he suddenly decides to go home alone without your knowledge?"
"will not. He'll never be angry with me for too long that's why I love him so much."
"Because that's why you're using it too."
"you mean?? That's reckon. For me everything I do is not off track. Well what is. My heart is still for Baras and remains for Baras. There's no other woman."
"That temptation could have come bro and maybe you could have slipped up sometime. The wrong step." Edo did not want to lose in response to Vim. His friend is too confident.
"Before I slip out of the way, you must remind me. That's what friends are for. Good night."
"Good night."
The silence of the night accompanied their night. The sound of an owl occasionally broke the silence. It's dark and thick outside. The cold is bone-chilling. Vim was curled up next to Edo.
