When Love Is Present

Chapter 9. Meet Rival.

Laras had just arranged basic cloth parcels to be given motifs by Mothers who worked at the residence of the Maharani Mother when her hearing caught the soft voice of a woman.

Two different voices. The other voice Laras memorized because it was the voice of the Maharani Mother but the other voice felt foreign to Laras.

"So aunt, this business is still running even more growing?"

"That's Fani. Aunty is grateful that this hereditary effort can still be continued."

Without eavesdropping on the conversation, Laras would still catch the conversation because Ibu Maharani and Fani-the woman-it was

not far from the bar. They were watching the male workers.

"Vano's wife's aunt will continue this effort but God wills another. Vano.."

Mother Maharani's voice changed slightly, hoarse and slightly choked.

"I'm sorry Fani aunt..

reminding aunt of Vano."

"It's okay. Forgetit. Vano is at peace in heaven."

"What about Vim aunt."

"Vim.he's well like that. Aunt waiting for good news from Vim, giving aunt a daughter-in-law."

"May the delivery of aunt."

"Have you never met?"

"Not aunty. Fani just arrived yesterday afternoon."

"Vim is at work. Fani can approach Vim in his office if she wants."

"Tomorrow aunty."

"Oiya meet this Larasati, aunt's son."

It did not feel like they were walking while telling stories and had arrived near Laras.

"A.sons? Aunt has a child pe.."

"Guve got big kids."

Maharani's mother laughed crisply in response to Fani's astonishment.

"By the line."

"Fani."

They both shake hands. Laras smile expands sincerely in contrast to Fani's flat face alone. Laras did not think about it at all. For barrel ordinary things are often not considered by others.

"Let's have a drink first. Come on, Laras come with ya."

"Advanced work course mi. It's not finished yet."

"Oo yes, then. Let's Fani."

Fani watched Laras from

earlier. In his heart he said it was fortunate that Laras could be accepted as a child in the family. It's not impossible if Laras becomes Vim's partner. The possibility is very large to see the Empress Mother can accept and like Laras.

Fani is accepted into the Vim family because Fani and Vim were in First High School before Fani's parents moved to Australia. Parents' relationship that makes them meet often. Vim used to take Maharani's mother to visit Fani's parents' house. There Fani and Vim often meet and become familiar.

Now Fani chose to live in Indonesia because he missed his homeland. Being an interior designer is his choice even though he has not long started the profession.

To Laras, Fani looks so perfect. Tender body, slender, beautiful hair with a graceful attitude. Very different from him, short with a full body, and ordinary hair.

Work done. It seemed like no one would pick up the ingredients since it was already afternoon. Laras took a package of cloth ordered by his mother and also the key of the motorbike. Now the car has become accustomed to using the motor. His favorite bike is still abandoned with a flat tire not yet pumped. Vim has banned all helpers from repairing the bike. He requires that Laras use the motor that has been provided for him. Barrels were the focus of attention in the house. She's like a princess.

The distance to Laras house from Vim's house is not far but Vim forced him to ride the motorcycle if he came home. Until that moment Laras did not want to sleep at Bu Maharani's house again since Vano left so he had to go home from his parents' house to the house of the Maharani Mother in the morning and afternoon.

Like this afternoon, Laras was ready to ride a motorcycle and had paid a farewell to the Empress Mother. Some workers have gone home. There are only one or two people who work to prepare goods that pursue delivery deadlines.

In a fairly large stall, Baras stopped to refuel the motor. He felt reluctant to fill in at SPBU because the distance was a bit far while the day had been afternoon.

"Full mbak."

"Yes. Thanks." Thanks."

Laras gave a sheet of rupiah currency.

"All the tissues. Just one."

"This is the change."

The barrel receives the change with the tissue and turns the body around. But something hard touched his face. Laras surprised. The face in front of him was no less surprised.Suddenly a very beautiful girl bumped into him as she was walking closer to the seller.

"Sorry.sorry mas. Not intentionally."

"I'm sorry.that's also yes. Walk looking ahead dong don't look at hp." Reply Barrel.

"You hit me."

"I've already apologized. Forget it."

"You're doing what!"

A voice made Laras turn. There Vim in the car called the name Laras.

Then I look out of the car.

"Filling the oil mas."

"You can get the helpers to Laras."

"It's okay, man. I can fill it up myself."

"No. Next you can't fill it yourself. Check the tank before you go home and ask the maid to fill it up."

"Good on."

Prok.prok..

The man who had watched Vim and Laras speak, clapped his hands and approached Vim.

"Who is he?"

"It's none of your business!!.

Vim answered ketus. He was extremely memorized to this human before him.

The Rony to Vim is a mortal enemy.

"Wow.wow, if she's my wife, it's none of your business."

Those words were more like innuendo to Vim.

"Wife?? You dream yes."

The corner of Vim's left lip rose upwards sneering at the words of the man in front of him.

"Don't dream. Face me before you get him." Challenge Vim.

The barrel can only be careful

the two grown men in front of him, the way they looked at each other showed there was a contradiction between the two of them. Intervening is impossible. So Laras just be a spectator.

"Fighting with you is always open."

"No need you remember me and don't bother him. Once he's hurt, you know the payoff."

The distance of the two who were so close could not make Laras hear Vim's words just now.

The battle drums are being pounded again. As always, each will not want to give up even though a fight is about winners and losers.

Rony and Vim looked at each other with disdain.

"Mas Vim I'll go home first." Shouted Barrel.

"OKAY. Go home and don't stop anywhere anymore." Answer Vim.

"No. It's almost home."

Barrel passes. Before leaving, Vim and Rony looked at each other again.

"Why are you curious about me??" Ask Vim in a voice full of emphasis.

"We're competitors."

"It's what you think it is."

"We were destined to meet up to compete long ago."

"Thank you all for your defeat!"

"Never!"

After saying the last sentence Rony left Vim.

Vim looked at Rony from behind. Rony is a rival in the race event carrying the name of the school. They always meet on behalf of their respective regions or schools even though only between districts. They always meet in the final of a championship either science or swimming.

And often Vim gets the top level and then followed by Rony at number two. Rony was champion one, but rarely and Vim always took the lead. For this reason, Rony's desire to defeat Vim never faded even though each had lived their own world of work and business.
