When Love Is Present

Chapters 87. He's a-comin.

The barrel intentionally slows down eating ice cream. In addition to enjoying the solitude he also refused to go home soon.

Feed by mouth ice cream into the mouth feels good for Laras. Not too concerned about whether the OOTD he wears matches the situation in the mall.

A little boy caught the attention of Baras. With his hair down, the boy sang in front of his mother. The sister is in the lap of the mother looks happy even though the time has been night. The kids still look fresh.

"Mama I've been. Where's papa?" Ask the little girl to her mother.

Tiara imagined that she was like that child as a child.

"A little while, baby. Sing again." Said the mother.

The girl sings again. His hands were moved up the head, then forward the chest and circular. She sings my hat song round. A little girl without sin. Barrel remembers both of Vim's bangs suddenly.

Vim was forgotten for a moment. Feels heavy legs Barrel to stand and go home. Look at it at all Vim didn't look for it here. Was he not worried about Baras' safety? Until this hour, where have you been? Huuh.

Barrel opened his phone. Some incoming messages from Vim and incoming calls that were not heard by Laras are listed there.

'Dear forgive me. Where are you? I'm lookingforyou.'

That was the last message in their chat.

"Mama..Delia's thirsty."

The little girl approached and asked her mother for a drink. The mother gave a bottle of water to drink from the bag.

Back incoming call sounds. The call was interrupted and then sounded again. He pressed the answer.

'Hello.' The word Baras is short.

'........'

'Here in the fountain in the mall.' He said again and then broke off the conversation.

...*****...

At four o'clock in the afternoon Vim was in a meeting room with a new business partner. It would be less ethical if he resigned while the meeting was in progress. This is the first meeting with a potential business partner. The first impression determines the next outcome. This morning he invited Laras to dinner with him.

Vim follows the meeting until it's over. The phone is always turned off if it is in a meeting. The meeting that was going to take place that afternoon suddenly took a step back. Unfortunately the meeting lasted a long time from the afternoon and was completed when the clockwork showed the number eight.

Half slammed the door of Vim's car into the restaurant where Laras was waiting. His hunting breath and restlessness implied on his usual calm face. This time Vim could not calm down. Guilt fills the heart. Allowing Baras to wait for a long time without news was a mistake. I'm sorry Vim said to himself. May Laras hear his heart.

To the receptionist Vim asked about Laras. The receptionist replied that Laras had left since then. Vim started to worry. None of the messages Vim sent got a reply. Same with calls sent several times.

The last call Vim made got an answer from Laras. Tucked away the relief in the heart. The barrel is near there. The mall next to the restaurant they were meeting at. An appointment that is void for a business opportunity. How selfish of me, Vim. But isn't the end result for the benefit of both of them?

Vim immediately passed from there and headed to the mall where Laras was. He went back with his wide footsteps. Want to immediately meet with Laras and make sure that Laras is in good condition.

Vim was relieved to find Laras sitting in front of a small fountain among mall visitors. It draws Breath.

"By the line." Vim's breath was piqued.

"You okay?" Ask Vim later.

He came too but late. So late. Barrel's not okay. This mall is big but the air conditioning feels cold to Laras. Plus the stomach is not filled enough food, the cold air makes Laras cold and hungry. But his appetite has gone.

"You're cold."

Vim's lightweight suit moves to Laras's body. Covering his back and arms. Before going to the restaurant Vim changed work coats with light OOTD suits hung on the car.

"We're home."

The hand of the barrel is led by Vim. Like a little boy Laras followed Vim. Without a voice or rejection. Vim could see the disappointment on Laras' face so he chose not to speak much. He is guilty. I don't know why Laras didn't say any words of annoyance to him.

Silence surrounded both of them in the car. Vim let Laras be quiet from now on.

The car stopped at their house. The sound of crickets fills the silence around the house. Vim does not unlock automatic car doors.

"Well are you angry?"

The barrell chose silence. He doesn't hate Vim but he's disappointed in Vim. Vim should be aware, Vim should understand what he feels.

"Honey. The meeting lasted afternoon and long. New colleagues need our attention for cooperation to materialize." Describe Vim so that Laras understands. Vim looked at Laras from the side.

"Open the door." Frozen barrel Attitude.

"I'm sorry." Vim's voice was regretful.

"I'm sorry. Open the door."

The car door lock is opened automatically. The barrel immediately went down without waiting for Vim.

In their rooms...

Soon Laras cleaned his face from make up and then doused his body that felt sticky. Despite being in cold restaurants and malls, his body felt uncomfortable.

The warm water has washed away the perspiration that sticks. Barrel out of the bathroom. The cold did not move away from his body. Baras shivering. He bent his body. It was really cold not wanting to make peace with her. Squatting to hold the cold. Brrrr. Why is it this cold?

The incoming Vim was flabbergasted seeing Laras crouching withstanding the cold. He immediately lifted Laras and placed Laras on the bed. Pull the bed cover to cover the entire body of the barrel.

Have not stopped shivering in the cold, Baras covered the ears with a pillow. Vim turns off AC.

He climbed into the bed and then languished Laras even though Laras' body was wrapped in a thick bed cover and warmed. Adding warmth to her lover.

The barrel does not react. He overcame the cold that attacked.

"Why take a shower?" Vim whispers in the ears Barrel. The pillow that covers the ears of the barrel moves next to the Vim.

"Eh." Laras tries to unravel Vim's arm but is unsuccessful. Vim held his arm.

"Once again forgive me." Whisper again.

"What did you eat?"

No answer. Baras. He was holding a feeling in his heart.

"By the line."

"Chiiix." That's all that came out of Barrel's mouth.

"I promise not to repeat."

"Chiiix."

"Dear." Call Vim lirih.

Hiiiks.Hhuuaa.

The grieving pain finally came out. The crying of Laras exploded. He recalled waiting for Vim and Vim did not give him any notice. How excited he was to come to the restaurant. How much he wanted to both enjoy a relaxing time with Vim. But it happened. There are only former disappointments.

Vim's embrace is getting tighter.

"Stop crying." Vim persuaded Laras.

"Mas is evil.Ja.hat." The sound of the barrel faltered with crying.

"Yes I'm bad."

Krprr..Krkrkkp.

The stomach sounds.

"I know you haven't eaten. Cold from hunger." Vim guessed before.

Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.

"The pulp." Auntie Am's voice behind the door.

"Come in bi." Vim shuffled moved to the sofa.

Aunt delivered porridge that was still steaming.

"Excuse me, den."

"Yes bi. Thank you." Thank you."

Vim asked Pak Uun to buy porridge for Laras. Porridge with bone broth flavor. Fortunately the porridge is still available for sale.

"Stop sad. I didn't mean to disappoint you. Sit down."

Vim brought the porridge to Laras. Tells what went through the afternoon until night that caused Vim not to fulfill his promise. Accepted or not by Laras, Vim did not think of it. Explaining is enough and he has been honest.

"Eat this. You can get sick." Refer Vim.

The phone on the nightstand is ringing. The magical thing was moved within Vim's grasp. Edo calls and Vim leaves the room. Responding to a call from Edo outside the room so that Laras is not disturbed.

Baras sat up. His body did not feel cold anymore. The smell of bone pulp invites taste. The barrel ate the porridge. Hmmm delicious. Portions are a lot. The barrel takes half a part.

Back Barrels immerse the body behind the bed cover. The innumerable comfort. His eyes began to fade. Blinks. Ah drowsiness can't be held. Barrel slept in his sleep.

Vim's smile on seeing the porridge bowl had diminished in content. Vim's hand stuck to the Barrel's forehead. The temperature is normal.He smiled knot.

"Good sleep, baby." His whisper when he kisses Laras.

Extinguish the room lamp. Replace with a very dim sleep lamp. The barrel will wake up one time if the lights are really Vim turn it all off.
