When Love Is Present

Chapter 6. Out of town both.

Three months since Vano's departure, Laras was finally able to rearrange his heart, becoming a person who more sincerely accepted everything that God had outlined.

Laras has started to set foot in the house of the Maharani Mother to help the Empress Mother again. Occasionally Vano feels present in the eye pelubuk every barrel through the parts of the house.

Starting that morning Laras worked

I do my duties until almost afternoon. Busyness can make Laras forget

sadness in the heart.

Vano's bedroom never locks. Baras went into Vano's room and put down a sketch of Vano's self, which was once made by Laras. Put it on Vano's desk and frolicked it

the sketch is not covered in white cloth like other furniture.

"Rest in peace, my prayers are always with you."

Barrel rubbed the sketch and

leave it there.

"You're back here?"

A voice made Laras turn his head and it was Vim's voice.

"yeah. Can I help you?"

The barrel asked. Looking into Vim's eyes, this time looking friendly. Friendly or not Laras has asked the Empress Mother to be given Laras

just go home every day, then the next day Laras will help work in that house back. No longer twenty-four hours in that house.

However, Laras had to slowly let go and forget Vano. Although not all can be forgotten but Laras must so that he can step for his future like the wishes of parents

nya. With the reduced time Baras in the house little by little can divert some of Laras memory of Vano.

Maharani's mother loved Laras like her own child, let alone the absence of Vim the youngest child made Maharani's mother right

true love same Laras.

"none. I'm just greeting you."

"Vim mami ask for your help Vim. Can Vim?"

"What help mi? I'll help you if I can help."

Maharani's mother was present between Vim and Vano.

"Please deliver these fabrics to Ms. Rara's house . Actually needed today, therefore this item was awaited by him and was forced to be sent today as well.

Tomorrow will be used by the order."

"Boleh mi. Four o'clock departs and five or six o'clock arrives there. Hope it doesn't get stuck."

"Yes prepare. Don't forget to check your vehicle."

"Kanjeng mami, but wait a minute. Can I take

Laras accompanying me?"

"If Laras doesn't mind. Just ask Laras."

"How Baras. You want to come with me? Want huh?"

Vim asked half persuaded.

For Vim is not just a walk to deliver mami merchandise but by carrying Laras, Vim hopes the journey will be able to eliminate the sadness Laras.

"It's late in the afternoon, are we going home or staying there?"

"It looks like a Barrel stay. Tonight is holiday night, the streets are more crowded than usual. I don't want to be late on the night road. Don't be afraid, there are many good hotels to stay in."

They eventually both left. Vim drives his own car because the distance to be traveled is not very far.

A clear afternoon is great for an afternoon walk. Consider it an afternoon walk according to Vim.

Before leaving Bibik the head of the maid brought a kilo of boiled beans that were put in a container. Coincidentally the new beans are finished boiled so that it is still warm.

"Speel the boiled beans and eat them so you don't get bored. You just kept quiet from that."

Laras turned to the right glancing at Vim. Yes Laras feels the same distance Vim. Vim's slightly stubborn and cold character made Laras afraid of him. But over the past few months Vim has changed. His views no longer underestimated Baras. Maybe Vim is just sorry for Laras who has lost Vano.

"Looks like you don't like boiled beans. Then peel those boiled beans and give them to me."

"It's not. I like boiled beans but I don't want to."

"Drawing. Put it in my mouth." pinta Vim.

"Huh?? but you're driving. How can I .."

"Can, slowly. You didn't close my eyes. Put it in my mouth. Now, I'm hungry."

Barrel follows Vim's will before Vim becomes enraged.

Some boiled beans have been eaten by Vim. The barrel peels the pea skin again and does the same thing as before. Bribing Vim with boiled beans.

"I'm full. You eat and spend it."

Laras nodded. Better to just follow. The sky is beginning to appear. It's more pink. Laras pours his gaze to the side of me

through the car door glass. They're entering the city.

"We'll soon be in a residential area." Vim says.

The car turned right and arrived

they are in front of a high fence. Vim bows the head into a square hole that connects with a person.

"Good afternoon. I want to meet Rara Pak."

"Attent." Reply that person who is none other than Satpam.

Before long the gate was wide open, Vim's car rolled into the spacious yard. There Vim and Laras have been awaited by Ms. Rara. As per the purpose of their arrival, Vim gave the goods entrusted by their mother.

"Thank you."

Rara's Mother's smile expands

satisfied the complete order item received. A conversation ensues between Vim and Rara's mother. Laras just listen more.

"You're gonna stay here, aren't you Vim?"

"Yes ma'am but I'm sorry that I and Laras want to take a walk first."

"Oh please.please then. Come back here."

"Thank you ma'am. We go first."

Vim directs his car towards the city center stopping at some point in the parking lot. He invited Laras to walk down the sidewalk without feeling uncomfortable. Many visitors did

the same thing as them.

"You want to shop Laras? Tell me I'll pay for it?"

"No. Walking like this has made me happy. Thank you for bringing me here."

"You like it?"

"Like. It's a lot of people."

"Tomorrow national holidays because the atmosphere is more crowded than usual. We go there first yeah, my stomach feels hungry."

They had dinner together in a rather crowded place.

Compared to other places there is not too full of visitors.

Up here Laras finds the other side of a Vim. Away from the pretentious, cold and haughty impression. The opposite of Vim's attitude to Laras warms up, is friendly and protective. Look from earlier walking side by side, Laras' hand is always held by the school Vim does not want Laras separated from his side.

Can he sense this signal that I'm not the Vim who yesterday liked to snap at him, but the Vim who wants to protect

nya. God let me have it.

Vim admires the eyes with the pliable eyelashes next to them

nya. The iceberg has melted because of the barrel. No longer as arrogant as usual. The one in Vim's mind right now just wants to protect Laras. Makes her feel safe and comfortable.

His small body to Vim always had to be protected.

"Did you feel the tiny droplets of raindrops?"

"Not at all. There's no rain." Reply Vim.

"But it's in my hands. Look at this soon it's gonna rain."

The barrel shows the back of his hand which is slightly wet falling raindrops.
