So fast time passed. Laras and Vim must return to their town. Go back home and start your usual activities.
"Suppose those clothes. I'll give it to aunt."
Vim forbids Laras from cleaning dirty clothes.
"Pity aunt mas. It's a lot of work." Barrel Reasons.
"We're looking for another ART."
"Yes already. Can I get you a cup of coffee?"
"No. That's all." Vim menuney6Laras takes a glass of drinking water. Laras really wants to know the continuation of the business of buying and selling land between papi and om Handoyo. Yesterday Vim accompanied papi to see the land in question.
"Just look at it. Price's good. Don't know if papi's gonna go ahead or not."
"Far there." Baras gave his opinion.
"Yes. Everything can be arranged in a barrel."
"Far there means papi has to find people who want to take care of it. It's the same papi gave the person a salary or a share of it."
"Indeed so. The land was divided by three for us. Next is my share for our children."
"I understand."
"Take it all for the kids if I go first." Vim Message.
"Well, what the hell is that.
Berdo'a asked for a long life mas."
"Aamiin's."
"I'm going to prepare dinner." The barrel stands to pass.
"Why bother? Be sitting. Keep me here."
"We have to eat dear and everything is not available at the table. This is my job."
"I'm sure aunt has prepared her. Wait I look back."
There is no way Laras should be silent everyday obeying Vim said. It can't be this and it can't be that. Very tedious. He came back later.
"Mas.I want to knit. Tomorrow I'll go shopping for my needs."
Laras remembered his old hobby as a girl. Filling time with knitting is fun. The time that passes will not be boring.
"May as long as it doesn't make you tired. I'll take you tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir."
The barrel draped both arms over Vim's shoulder. Give me a kiss thank you.
*****
Vim felt his head spin as he was about to wake up in the morning. Sweat as big as corn seeds filled the face. His stomach feels really nauseous. Something pushes from inside the stomach to get it out.
Hoooeek. Hoooeek.
Then the rustling of the sink water sounded. The barrel heard a strange sound immediately woke up. Vim's not next to him. He rushed to the bathroom.
"Mas! Why?"
Vim shakes. Hoooeeek.
"Aaaakh." The grunts of Vim's mouth.
The barrel incised Vim's neck repeatedly. None of it came out of Vim's mouth. Vim's face was deathly pale.
"My head is dizzy. It's." Already."
Vim walks weakly to the bed. The barrel provides wind oil on Vim's back and abdomen.
"Enough Barrel. It smells bad. My stomach's nauseous."
"alright. Take a break here."
Baras became worried. Vim rarely hurts. He was afraid that Vim was very sick because Vim never got sick. His body is always fit.
"Still nauseous mas?" Ask Laras.
"Little bit. Make me some sweet warm tea." Pinta Vim's.
"All right."
With quick steps to the kitchen. Take tea and brew with hot water.
Aunty noticed being astonished at Laras' bustle. It is not their habit to drink sweet tea. Very fast this morning.
"Mas Vim asks for bi. It looks unhealthy." Laras.
"Oh. What should my aunt do?"
"Ehm aunty please make rice porridge for mas Vim. She's puking. His stomach rejects rice."
"Good non. Aunt get it ready."
Kreeek.
"This is the sweet tea. Slowly it's still hot."
Sluurrf.
Vim sipped some tea. Then continue again and again until the tea is only a quarter of a glass.
"Look. Maybe they catch a cold. I'll call the doctor."
"No need for Laras. I just want to sleep."
Vim sleeping very long made Laras worried. At exactly two o'clock Vim woke up from sleep.
"Mas hasn't eaten since. I dare not wake you. Still dizzy?"
"Not anymore."
"I'll get you some porridge."
Then Laras feeds Vim. Goody. Not vomiting at all. The barrel becomes relieved.
"It's good enough. It's weird I've never been like this." Vim.
"Mas late eating at the office maybe."
"Not really."
"Why not take medication?"
"It's okay. Just a little pain. It's all better."
Laras remembered this one month he had not yet received a monthly guest. He better tell Vim.
"My mother.i. I. haven't had a guest this month."
"Where are you from?"
"From myself. I mean I'm not M."
Vim scrunched his forehead.
"Oh I understand. What then? You're..You pregnant Laras?" Vim.
"Eitherway. I'd like to check but later if these two months M doesn't come."
Vim mangosteen. Vim leaning weakly.
"Mas eat again. Empty bread and sweet tea."
"Can. Get it." Get it."
With a light step Laras took the bread in question. As long as Vim wants to eat and does not vomit, Laras is quite relieved.
"Please bribe. Maybe I miss your feed."
"Here, calm down. As long as I want to, I'm a bribe."
The first, second, third bribe the barrel waited. Thank goodness I didn't vomit. The next meal until the end of two loaves of bread without filling.
"To keep from doing work that takes up your energy. Leave it to the aunt. Aunty can be helped by Mr. Uun. I'll drive the car myself."
Vim had parno first before knowing Laras was really pregnant or not.
"I think aunt can do it all. Let Mr. Uun drive you. After this I became afraid. Your body is not fit." Urai Barrel.
"Good shit."
"What's? Pregnant Mom? I don't know if I'm pregnant or not, baby. Don't jump to conclusions."
Baras was afraid of being disappointed both times. Expecting too much but disappointed in the end. He will be happy and satisfied if he has done an examination with an obstetrician.
"Hopefully this is true Baras."
"I hope so too. Don't tell anyone this before you go to the doctor. We both know." Barrel Message.
"I can't wait for that day Laras."
"I am too."
"Oh my God, time passes." Vim said expectantly.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Today Laras did not see the ongoing bazaar. All he left to Ririn about the participation of their products in the bazaar. Ririn is reliable.
It's impossible to leave Vim in pain. Vim needs attention Baras.
"Sleep if you feel sleepy. It's here." Vim pointed at the place next to him. The eyes are bright without light. His face was pale though not as pale as it was this morning.
His heart was not calm even to close its eyes for a moment. Still beware if Vim is dizzy and suddenly vomits . Laras.
"I'm sorry. You must be worried."
Vim clasped Laras' left fingers.
"Tomorrow morning will be back to normal."
"Hopefully." Barrel smiled. Trying to cover up the heartbreak.
"I slept for a while. This afternoon doing the work. I need nothing, wake me up."
"Good mbak. Yes, sleep."
The barrel laughed. Then they started to close both eyes. Vim gently stroked the hair over the forehead. Gentle rubbing laden with love.
