When Love Is Present

Chapters. 88. Can't be present.

A sneezing sound was heard three times in the room.

Hattciim. Haaticiim. Haaattciiimu.

From the nose Barrel comes out clear liquid. He wiped the liquid with a tissue. Wipes are thrown into a waste basket that has been coated with plastic waste.

Breakfast for Vim is not ready. Vim's work clothes have not been taken. Not waiting long he immediately choose a shirt and work pants Vim.

Vim wears a shirt after the shower. Barrel buttoning shirt like the days before. They don't talk at all. Mutely. Lazy barrel talking. The atmosphere became awkward.

Vim stared at Laras without blinking. Trying to dive into what was in the mind of Laras at that time. The barrel can be that calm in the presence of Vim. Not one bit he looked at Vim's eyeballs. Really cuey. Did not know Laras that his behavior actually makes Vim anxious.

"You still angry?"

Laras. Potential answer.

Shirt buttons are attached to the hole. Baras switched to doing another job. Providing breakfast for Vim and then washing the clothes of work Vim who was hanging yesterday.

Haaattciiimu.

The barrel sneezed again.

"Well, you're the flu."

A tissue was given Vim. Barrel receives tissue.

"That means you're not at the reunion night." Connect Vim. He buttoned up the sleeves of the shirt.

"Couthful. Stay with me." Barrel.

Not willing to lose the opportunity to attend a meeting with fellow alumni.

"can't. Your body is not fit. Not going either morning or evening." Firm Vim.

Baras feels Vim is unfair. Vim has fun meeting his friends while Laras just keeps quiet at home. The clanging sound of the clock that every hour always sounds. Aunty does not count in Laras because aunty will not accompany him all day. How pitying he is.

"Mas I'm fine."

A thin smile adorned Vim's face hearing Laras' speech.

"You dizzy? Your nose is watery."

"No. It's just because the air's cold."

"Just sleep again." Command Vim.

"I want to wash."

Barrels open the dirty laundry basket. Didn't see Vim's work clothes in that basket. Where Vim's work clothes. There are only their underwear.

"No one's not." He said it was almost inaudible.

"Dirty clothes?" Vim asked.

"Yes. Stay this."

"Get it to aunt."

Baras.

"Yes, I'm handing it over to aunt. Let auntie wash. That's all you have."

Vim's answer was completely relaxed.

"Work clothes are not too heavy. What's wrong with me washing?"

"See body. It was cold last night and today it got the flu. It's still a good thing your stomach doesn't hurt from eating late." Vim is getting ready to leave the room. Approaching Laras and peeling Laras' forehead.

"Remember. You can just relax in the room. Everything you need, aunt will deliver you." Vim said again.

"Somewhere???" Eyebrow Barrel. Surprised by Vim's actions. The one who did wrong was Vim but why did Laras suffer the consequences. Barrels thawing.

"Yes, so you don't get sick."

"Who's wrong?"

"Ehemk. Yesterday it was my fault to let you wait too long. Today you have to eat and drink everything you brought here so that your body is healthy. I'll ask auntie to come home from work later."

"Your subject. As long as I can attend tomorrow's event."

Barrel sat on the side of the bed in front of Vim.

"May but.if the flu is gone and your body temperature is normal. I'm leaving."

"No breakfast?" Ask Laras.

"Before the shower."

Tumbens. Vim hardly ever eats before showering in the morning. Maybe he's very hungry.

"What time is it coming home?"

"Not yet."

Huuuhh was busy again.

"Can I get aunt shopping?"

"can't. Let aunt and Mr. Uun do the shopping. You're sick." Vim kept walking out.

"Yeahh."

Barrel can what? Vim's stubborn again. He did not want his words to be disputed.

A second later Vim stopped his steps. Soft views. Gentle lovingly.

"Always healthy. Understand baby.I'll go first." The kiss was given Vim. The barrel stood staring at Vim's back away and into the car.

The barrel twists the steps. In front of the room door came across an aunt who was carrying something on a tray.

"I'm sorry aunty so bothered to take care of this and that."

"It's okay non. Not healthy."

Aunt is good. Never complain even if every day his work does not replace.

"It doesn't hurt much bi. Vim was just too worried."

Aunty and Laras were in the room.

"Now not breakfast first. It's milk and green bean porridge."

"Good bi. Thank you." Thank you."

Barrels do not like green bean porridge. For the sake of the aunt who had spent time cooking the porridge, Laras finally ate the porridge.

It's still morning. It's not good to go back to sleep. The sun is showing itself. Barrel walked into the kitchen looking for aunt.

"What are the aunts doing?"

Baras found aunty taking care of dirty clothes.

Perhaps Laras needed help, the aunt asked Laras.

"Bi yuuk we gymnastics." Bring Laras.

"Six non? How gymnastics. Non broken style?"

"Iiiiih aunty. Aunty follow my moves."

"But laundry_"

"Let the laundry be bi. If the laundry isn't taken care of, we send it to the laundry."

Laras mentions a laundry service. Laundry special choice Barrel. He wants the best for Vim.

Gymnastics without accompanying music begins. Barrel in front and aunty behind Barrel. The barrel gives a cue and calculates each movement. Starting from the movement for the head, shoulders, long arms, knees and legs. Aunt followed with the best possible movement.

Sweat drenched his face. Aunt too.

"Auntie get a tissue with non-white water."

"Yes bi."

The barrel takes a small chair that is on the back porch of the house.

Bring a chair to the middle of the backyard. The shining sun spread warmth throughout the backyard. Barrel sitting on a chair. He sank there.

"Take a non."

"Thank you bi."

Warm sunlight hits the entire body. The barrel stayed there for up to half an hour.

Auntie came again to deliver the news.

"Noon there's a friend non Baras. Her name is Ririn."

"Good bi. Just get her here."

"Non good."

Shortly thereafter Ririn appears carrying a parcel for Laras. Hand it over to Laras.

"Is this Rin?"

"Style uniform. You're coming, aren't you?" Ririn sat down on the chair next to Laras.

"Entah Rin's. Mas Vim didn't want me to come to the show." Sound Low barrel.

"Why? What a shame Race."

"Say I'm not well. I'm sunbathing so that this flu goes away quickly and can be present tomorrow night."

"At least you came for a morning show. Sports together and games."

"effort to. I miss you guys." The mind of Laras was laughing.

"May Vim change his mind and invite you."

"Hopefully. Uh, breakfast hasn't. Ayoo go inside."

Laras invites Ririn in but Ririn chooses to sit outside.

"Here is Ras. I was just a little while and had breakfast. Thank you." Thank you."

"Again, I can't come to the evening. Get upset."

The barrel opens the package and stretches out the clothes he holds.

"Good yeah."

"Yes great. Another attempt Race. There's still time to get permission." Advice Ririn.

"I tried again."

Baras is not sure if permission will be granted by Vim.

"Tomorrow there is a Totok. Remember that Totok is not. He likes to tease you, right?"

"Alright Totok. Really remember. It's sableng."

Laras and Ririn laughed together. Remember Totok a ignorant child likes to tease Laras. Until Laras was upset, angry and put on a sullen face, the act of flirting Laras never stopped.

"Now Totok is quite calm. It seems like a change in race. Growing up again." Ririn's Story.

"Oh yeah? How know?"

"When I got home from work."

"Oh he's here too." Laras murmuring.

"No. He went home to pick something up, he said."

"so."

"Please forgive me. I left the store an hour. I'm going to the store again." Ririn stood up and took a break. He picked up their uniform on a friend and stopped by Laras' house.

They're already in the kitchen.

"It's okay. There was Nila there. Thank you for bringing the shirt here."

"Together."

"Wait a minute. Bring this." Bring it."

Barrels open the refrigerator. Take apples and oranges and move them into a plastic bag. Give the fruits to Ririn.

"Well, thank you Ras. I hope it heals soon."

"Thin hope to come."

"I'm without you."

"Have a lot of friends."

"Dong different. Conquer Vim let his permission get out." Ririn's idea made Laras laugh a little.

"Haha. I have to try to stop this flu so he believes I'm healthy."

"Well that. I'm going ya."

They both cipika cipiki. The door closed Barrel after Ririn was no longer visible. In the room Laras hangs her uniform shirt next to Vim's uniform. The event tomorrow. Shared gymnastics, leisure walks and game shows. It was a pity that he could not attend.
