When Love Is Present

When Love Is Present
Chapter 42. The lost regret.



Next morning..


"Sir Edo opened the door, brother. Let me in."


Barrel knocked on the door a few times after saying his greetings. No answer from inside. Trying to peek out of the window but his vision was blocked by the window-covering cloth.


There's no one inside. I'm sorry my brother came in, took away this curiosity. What are they doing inside so they don't listen to my calls.


Lucky for Barrel the door is not locked. There was no one inside but his heart wondered where the owner of the house was going. The familial relationship between Vim, Dion and Edo made them accustomed to entering their respective homes without permission, without the intention of getting along. Each of them believed in each other. For them friendship is too precious and should last a long time until they age. They had a deal. Same with each other's wives.


Barrel observed the room. Finally his vision caught the figure of Vim asleep on a luxurious carpet in front of a 32-inch television. Barrel smiled. His heart was very upset yesterday afternoon. But as usual as the day changed in the morning, the anger evaporated itself somewhere. Laras himself was astonished that he would not be able to hold long to anger against Vim. When the morning before his sense of regret for Vim faded away lost swallowed by time passed. Then Laras will greet him every morning as usual. Especially when Vim teased him when Laras was in a state of anger, Laras who was originally boxed in his face immediately laughed out loud by the actions of Vim.


"Mas awake. Let's get up." Usik Laras's. Shake the body carefully. I don't want to surprise Vim.


"Hmm." Vim's eyes are open.


"You? What time is it??" Ask again. The cold morning air made him lazy to move. Cowering in the cold.


"Jam seven mas. Wakes up. Why sleep here?"


"Why did you come here? Lose me, huh??"


"No. Just worry."


"No longer stuck. No more self-harm??"


"Come on this. Okay I'm licking again yeah. I'll just go then." Barrels are about to stand.


"Eeiits wait! Just stay with me here." Barrel body restrained. His hand was within Vim's grasp. Highlight Vim's eyes turning soft.


"I'm sorry to upset you."


"Maybe it repeats itself?" Laras. Thought guessed. Impressed on his face.


"Possible but all you have to know is I don't want to see him. Nor did he ask her to meet. Forget about Aurora. We should be happy, right?"


"Yes but..."


"Nothing but. Don't think about it anymore and stop being mad at me. My head hurts if you ignore me. Let's go next door 'cause my stomach's been asking to be filled. From the night I haven't eaten."


Vim holds both cheeks with both hands. Convincing the Baras was indeed a little time consuming. Though unsure of his words Vim believes he and Aurora meet again but not to unite.


"Wow! Waw! Marahan is very friendly. Did my eyes see wrong?!"


Edo's emergence disperse the intimacy of his best friend. The man had just come from outside the bungalow wearing sweatpants. Vim and Laras smiled shyly. Vim invites Laras to stand up.


"No, what you just saw is true."


"So you got along?? Ckk."


"Yes already. We're going next door. Let's have breakfast." Bring Vim.


The nature of Laras who easily relented became one of the reasons Vim loved Laras so much. When angry Laras who carried emotions can release his anger that exploded. But strange for Vim the next morning, Baras' attitude will return as usual, even treating Vim warmly and Laras did not discuss the problems they had just faced. Then everything went back to normal without an emotional explosion.


"I cook seafood fried noodles and savory rice. I hope you both like it." Said Baras with his crisp voice.


"I'm just savory rice Laras and all the side dishes." Pinta Vim's. The barrel spits rice and side dishes into the dish. It is rare for Vim to eat rice in the morning. This morning it seemed to be hungry. The s plate is placed Barrel in front of the Vim.


"I'm just seafood fried noodles." continued Edo.


"You take Ed yourself."


Edo grunted, Vim chuckled, watching Edo's face. It was so good to tease Edo.


"When did you teach me how to drive a car?" Laras interrupted the conversation.


"When you want Laras. I'll register for driving lessons."


"I want to learn the same."


"Darling.my time is limited. How's your English tutoring?"


"Next week of exams. Then I can drive."


"Alright but there are conditions."


"Use the terms as well. What condition?"


"When you can drive a car, don't go anywhere without a clear purpose. That's the condition. Lightweight right?"


"Okay easy mas but mas if I deliver mami merchandise, yes." Barrels bargaining. During this time he always uses shipping services if there is a buyer who buys the goods he markets.


"Bro I'm done. I went home and Laras thanks for breakfast. Very good food." Edo.


"So fast, brother Edo."


"Feeling your food is enough. Don't tell me to watch your intimacy haha..."


He saw Vim did not react or was reluctant to respond sloppily.


"Often look at our affection for you to catch up." Edo's guess is wrong. Vim


repay selorohnya.


"OK happy making out and give me a handsome and beautiful pounding huh. Two at a time. I'm going home first Vim. My mom called me home. Bye."


"What's!? Mami called you!? Get ready to introduce future wife Ed hahaa..!!" Shouted Vim. Edo shook his hands from afar.


"You know three women that Aunt Ernita introduced her to. Everything is not considered."


Vim shook his head. There is no way that no woman is interested in her best friend. Although he worked with foreign companies, he held a fairly high position. Jobs that start from the beginning enter with ordinary positions to occupy important seats. That's why Edo still keeps his job instead of taking over the family business. One day if the time comes Edo chose to leave the company from Sakura country.


"What about that?" Baras asked back. He is awaiting Vim's approval.


"What? Oh that's yeah. It is better to use the transport service Laras. There was no problem all along. I don't agree you're traveling far away driving a vehicle. Your safety is more important."


"But if delivering the order is not too far away, yes. May ya?? That way I'll be good at driving later." Baras pleaded with a face of sand. Putting up a face style asking for pity so that Vim grant his wish.


"Hmm okay. Now prepare our things. It will be ready to take you home."


"Thank you dear." Thank you and kiss received Vim. Laras swings a step in search of Aunt Am. Asking for help packing things. Vim stepped towards the swimming pool at the back and threw himself into it. Outside Mr. Uun was washing the car. The sound of television news broadcasts could be heard from the lounge without any audience.


Baras is carefree, Laras is happy. Forgotten last night he saw Vim and Aurora. Rage disappeared. That problem doesn't need to be raised. Moreover, he did not see the reality that Vim did have a relationship with Aurora. There's no evidence of that. Laras began to set his heart to always be ready to face Aurora. Starting today.
