When Love Is Present

Chapter 57. Mysterious envelope.

Today Vim attended lunch with business partners. Aurora was with them. After completion Vim still accompanies the business partner. Wait until he returns home. While Aurora excuses to go home first considering her son is sick.

But Aurora had to wait for a regular taxi to deliver it. Something stupid he thought. His car he left at the office because he was with Mr. Arison before coming there and Mr. Arison drove him to the meeting place for lunch.

The smile expands when Vim's car stops right in front of him. A handsome face emerged from behind the car's lowered glass. Vim had never known if Aurora had ever come to the Baras store and acted arbitrarily to Laras. If you know sure to act stupid on Aurora.

"Who are you waiting for?" Ask Vim.

"Taxi. Why are you asking? Want to drive me?"

"Can. Login." Vim answered flatly.

Aurora swung a step towards the front door of the car.

They did not realize the remote camera shots managed to capture their togetherness in the work of several days. With the right angle of shooting produce photos that are - in fact - not as revealed by the photo itself. A trick that is able to make people who see the photo think it is true.

"I should have taken Rafli for treatment this morning but Mr. Arison asked to be accompanied at the meeting."

Aurora told me without Vim asking.

"Why Rafli?"

"One day yesterday had a fever and today I want to take him for treatment."

"How's the papa?"

"I don't care about his dad."

"I mean you didn't tell?"

"It has. He wanted to come but not show up at all." Aurora took her breath. The glint of Rony's face in the eye patch brings a sense of annoyance.

"Isn't Rony the one in charge?"

"As a papa yes but as a husband. asshole."

"Anyways you've been together." Vim smiled mockingly.

"It was Vim's fault and he repeated the mistake of playing with another woman."

"Well Rafli?"

"For Rafli to always be smooth because that's why I say as papa he is indeed a responsible person."

Vim mangosteen.

"Because Rafli is the only new breed Rony has. It's precious to him."

"Can be. It's over." Aurora releases the seat belt.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You didn't go in first?" Take Aurora.

"No. It will be a slander later."

"Thank you Vim for your help."

"OKAY. I'm going to continue."

"OKAY. Bye." Aurora waved her hand. Vim never got warm to her again. His attitude was cold and not interested in Aurora at all. Aurora walked lethargicly up the stairs of the front of the house.

Vim parked the car in the front parking lot of the Laras store. Stop by to see the state of Baras.

Hearing and seeing the laughter of the two young women made him relieved. The barrel is fine. The two of them were too engrossed to be unaware of Vim's presence.

"What are you guys saying?" Vim interrupts Laras and Ririn's chat.

"Eeeh mas Vim's. I'm not going to come here."

"Surprise." Vim.

"Siang brother. Please sit down."

Ririn stood up and gave Vim a seat. He knew enough not to enter into the next conversation between the husband and wife. Ririn moved to the cashier table.

"Mas have eaten yet?" Ask Laras.

"Already with partners."Answer the relaxing Vim. Calmness was radiated on his clean face.

"Is there Aurora doong?"

"really. Why?"

"It's okay."

"Suspicious yet?" Vim always uses his glances.

"No. The cendol in front is delicious. I bought ya." The barrel pointed to the seller of cendol in front of the store.

"May I have two servings of French fries."

"Two servings?? It means you are still hungry. Then let's have a chicken."

"Don't be too full if the rice. As per my request."

Vim assures Laras that he only wants a snack instead of the main meal.

"Good master." Vim chuckled in response to Laras. Laras also contacted the seller he was referring to.

"Great reunion will you be there, right?"

"Of course I'm a military man."

The orders of cendol and fries came. Ready to be devoured.

"Do you know where the reunion came from?"

"From group. I have a group too mas."

"Ah yes. You interested?"

"Of course." Answer Laras.

"But you just graduated yesterday. Why should we meet?"

"But this is why. I wonder how it feels."

"A lot of parties. I don't think you'd be comfortable in a crowd like that."

"Waaahh must be exclaiming.kak-kakkak all the gathered forces. I can come, mas." Pinta Barrel.

Not yet feel happy when not so with Vim.

"Can. Just morning."

"Just morning?"

"Hhhhhhh."

"Yeah. I'll be able to join Vim's night show."

"We'll see you later, baby. It's still two months away from the show."

"Where are you going?" Tanya Laras then saw Vim standing up from his seat.

"To the office again. Take care of yourself." Vim rubs gently the Barrel cheek.

"Be careful."

Time changes always revolve exactly as the Creator wishes. The day passes are replaced by the afternoon and the evening will be near after.

Laras began to realize he had not had monthly guests since the last two months. He has not dared to ask the doctor and also has not told Vim. Then he took the initiative to buy a pregnancy test as advertised by a television station. His heart was beating in the bathroom of the store. He did test there before returning home and the results made the eyes sparkle beautifully. Two red lines indicate that she is positively pregnant. A gift on their wedding anniversary is one week away and Laras will surprise Vim.

But the envelope Baras had just received damaged the happiness he had just held.

The barrel slaps the face on the pillow. A hug without anyone knowing even if it's an aunt. Since late afternoon, Baras has not been out of the room. Auntie Am did not call him because she already knew Laras would not want to eat dinner before Vim came home.

I don't know who sent those pictures to Laras. The photos that shook Laras' heart tonight. The photos that made the tears of Laras flow did not stop from earlier. Although the tears will stop falling again when remembering the pictures he saw. All photos are still on the bed at the foot of Laras. The photo that had made his heart hurt. Such was the cooperation they did, Laras asked himself.

Barrel whimpering himself. The feeling of longing for father and mother also Vano makes the tears flow more and more. He forgot his habit of welcoming Vim home from work.

Emotions rule his entire mind. He can't be clear-minded. Keep crying according to his heart.

"Clearned!" Vim turning door handle. Cannot be opened.

"Locked bi."

"Yes den. Weird ain't usually non lock the door."

"Back me home. The barrel!!"

Vim starts to worry about what happened to Baras inside. At the office, his feelings were not calm. Here's answer.

"So afternoon non received the envelope den. The one who intercedes." Report aunt. Aunt was always reliable in Vim's eyes. A little out of the ordinary thing in the house that aunt would tell.

"Who bi interracial. Barrel open the door!" Vim is losing patience. He knocked on the door very hard.

"Not knowing den."

"When you don't open it, I open it! The barrel!!"

Aunty's words further made Vim's curiosity even greater.

Braaaack.

The door was forced open. Vim doesn't care about his sore shoulder. It hurts more when ignored by Laras.

"But you're stubborn."

huuhu..

Sounding Hiccup with the same position. Snoringap.

"Wheel..You why?" Vim is approaching Laras. Touching back. Confused by the state of Baras.

"Ras.hey tell me what's up. Barrels."

With great difficulty, Laras woke up. With the strength of his heart still there he sat away from Vim. Vim's heart is wounded. His eyes held back tears seeing the state of Baras. Never before has Laras been as sad as he is today.

"Tell me what happened. Who hurt you Laras?"

Laras instead of approaching Vim but inching from his seat and away from Vim.

Vim follows the movement of Laras. He stood up but his right hand touched an object. He looks. See how many photos are scattered there. Take one photo. His eyes were in disbelief. He collected all the photos.

The pictures are just him and Aurora. At their project site. Why the two of them can look intimate in the photo.

"Where did this get it?" Vim cursed in the heart. Who has made this game his mind.

"Don't tell me I cheated if you did." Those unwanted words finally came out of Laras' mouth.

"I'm not cheating Barrel."

"The photo is proof.hiiiks."

"It's not like this. It's all a hoax. Hear me. Trust me." Vim tries to convince Laras. He was annoyed to see Laras' eyes laden with wounds.

"I'm a fool, but don't be fooled."

"I never thought you were stupid or anything Laras. You're more valuable than anything. Please believe me." Vim rubbed his face with both hands.

"I'm not as pretty as her, not as tall as her, not as good as her."

"But you're a precious jewel to me." Vim starts to clutch at Laras. Calms the Barrel in the hull.

"Don't just trust the information you receive. We don't know their purpose for us. It's so clever of people aiming at the camera that Aurora and I look so intimate."

There's still the rest of the Baras stuffing. He is not completely calm. Barrel pulls himself from Vim's embrace.

"I'm going to Mom's house." Laras is looking for his tenteng bag.

"What?! Wanna do this night there. Not Barrel." Vim grabbed the motor and car keys quickly. He does not want parents to know about their current situation.

"I miss them." Barrel Reasons.

"Not tonight!" Firm Vim.

"I'm tired."

"Okay, but I'm taking you there tomorrow, not tonight."

"I can go alone."

"I said no yes no. If you get out of this room, I'll be tougher."

Barrel stopped his steps. Vim always makes Laras lose.

"Thank you, Baras. We're sleeping in the basement tonight."

Vim took Laras down the stairs. For him Laras remains the little girl he once protected and will always be protected at any time.
