Shadow From the Past
Chapter 11

“Om, Aunt, I want to be serious about Elvina. I was sure to encourage Elvina to have a serious relationship, more than a lecturer and student. I love Elvina, I know Elvina well. I ask permission to be with Elvina to get married. I talked about it with my parents before, and thank God they allowed it. They released me in the affairs of a couple, and they were sure my choice was not wrong,”

Vano looked at the parents of Elvina with a highlight that showed that his arrival this time did have the intention to want to be serious, not just playful.

Then Vano looked at Elvina who turned her gaze in the other direction, as if she did not want to bother with Vano's intentions, and Elvina gave everything to her father and her mother to issue a response.

“But, Vano know that El is still in love with someone?”

“Iya I know, Aunt. El since the beginning has told me the same story, but who is that person, I myself also do not know,”

“His servant is on his own. It's the same other one, but El still can't escape him, until now,”

Vano nodded his head slowly. Elvina's parents are open. Maybe Vano doesn't know about that fact. So later in life, Vano has no regrets about loving a woman who is not still stuck in her own past.

“Tante and Om have tried to nasehatin El so as not to look at the past again. He hurt El that deep. But El still can not escape him, until Aunt and Om do not think out. Indeed, if you are together, Vano does not mind El has not been able to love Vano?”

Questions that are not difficult for Vano to answer. Because He had his heart already in love with Elvina, and his initial intention was clear, so if Elvina's problem couldn't return his feelings, it wasn't a big deal.

“I believe with words of love it can come because it is used to. Yes, although together with mutual love is more fun, but if El needs time to learn, I do not mind, Om, Aunt,”

“Honestly, Om Aunt frees El in choosing a partner. Depends on El's decision, Van,”

“I can not, I ‘kan not love with Mr. Vano,”

“Tadi Vano said, he understands that. Learning to love is actually not difficult if there is an intention,”

“Ketinbang you are stuck in the past continue, better open your heart, son. There are men who show the same seriousness as you, you should try to open your heart, love the opportunity for him,” Inner Early while staring at Elvina who is now bowing her head.

“Lagian, Mr. Vano himself said you want why I am the same father mother first,”

“Iya, I also do not ask to hurry, I know you need time, while you try to learn to accept me ‘kan? Do not love first, accept me first to enter your heart, later love can be later. If you accept it yet, how can you love ‘kan?” Vano smiled warmly looking at another woman about seven years with him. Given time to accept, to learn to love, and understand that he still loves another man, from that all Elvina can take the decision that Vano is serious to marry him, Vano is really good.

“Pak Vano why do you want to be serious with me? I ‘kan only female students, indeed no one can be taught seriously besides me?”

“El—“

“Yes, Bun? I was curious, so ask,” said Elvina when her mother gave a warning look after she asked a different question upset that could not be hidden.

“Yes if Vano likes you, feels attracted to you, time wants to be forced to go to another? Can't, heart free to choose,”

“That's been answered by Auntie Early, thank you Auntie for helping me explain to Elvina,”

****

Today Elvina agreed when Vano said the goodwill of her parents who want to meet with Elvina's parents and also Elvina herself in order to get to know each other.

Not only parents but Vano also brought his sister who did not want to miss to meet directly also with Elvina's parents.

Elvina's parents really did not expect that those who would come to their homes were their friends when they were still in school, while Vano's parents themselves already knew about it, and already imagine what kind of reaction Dini and also Arman.

“I really don't know at all if you're Elvina's parents. Oh my God, I'm so glad to see you again,”

Dini and Arman initially quietly tried to remember the faces of two guests who they felt familiar. A few seconds later, they remembered. They are equally moved when they can meet again with old friends.

“A really narrow world huh, Din,”

“Yes, geez did not think it was you who would come,”

“If we knew Elvina's parents were you,”

“Tau from when?”

“New a few days ago actually. So Vano showing photos of Vano with you guys continues I immediately remember if you guys are his best friend I fit in the days of High School,”

“Ih why not directly nyamperin really fit tau? Udah know I miss very much you,” Said Early who regretted why only now He and his best friend met? Why not from before just remembering Lisa Turns out to already know that Elvina's parents are not strangers.

“It's great to see you again, now it's the time of city children who know ya,”

“Iya, should meet dong often, and do not break communication again,”

“Yang yesterday was actually not want us to break off communication but because of the development of time, Dini. We used to have no cellphones, it is now-now already there,”

“Iya really, anyway we have to intertwine our cord, save my number, Lis, I will also save your number,”

Eventually the two women exchanged phone numbers, as well as their husbands. While their children are confused. It turns out that if parents have met friends who have not met for a long time, the reaction will be the same as people who are young, huh? You could say a scene. But it could be proof that in the past they were indeed that close. So the thing is, there is no need to be an introduction between Vano's parents and Elvina's parents because long before they were both in this world, their parents had known and even friendly.

“El, I used the mask you bought last night, good to know. I tried it for the first time but the results seemed to. ‘Kan previously blackheads I've started to exist, well after the mascerine so reduced, continue to be smooth again. Oh, I just like it. Thanks for the sale,”

“Yes, Dav. You said thank you continue. Yes, thank goodness that mask fits in you. Means recoments from me are not in vain,”

“Don't say skin care or make up first can not, girls? I don't know anything about a child who is not taught to play. Have parents busy themselves, well you are also busy discussing the issue,”

Davina chuckled to hear her brother complain. Elvina and Davina start to feel the same frequency. This is their second meeting.

“Yes that's why it's so hard, Bang,”

“How to nimbrung people not the world of girls, aka skin care and make up it,”

“Yes for learning. Later if you have a wife no longer kagok,”

“Ngapain learn? ‘Kan later already taken care of the wife, so do not need to learn about skin care. Brother already know enough just one, facial wash, the rest do not know,”

Again Vano became the laughingstock of his only brother. Vano is just like most men who do not want to bother about skin care.
