Shadow From the Past
Chapter 128

"Hello, sir,"

"Eh Mr. Vano, tumben to the post, why?"

"It's okay to wait here for Elvina. He hasn't come back since, either,"

"Wait for Mom, where are you going?"

"To minimarket, but not back and forth,"

"Maybe I haven't met what I'm looking for, sir,"

Vano chose to approach his housekeeper while waiting for Elvina. He sat in front of the security post and took a sip of his cigarette.

"Tumben the cigarette is held,"

"Yes, I want to, again,"

Vano called his wife again because he had not yet reached home when he said he only wanted to buy pads.

"Where the hell? long time no back and forth, where is it getting late, I want nyusulin also where to try?" vano grumbled in his heart.

Vano instantly quickly sees the phone once there is an incoming call. He thinks of Elvina. It was from someone else, Delila.

"Hello, Del,"

"Your wife just came here and she's upset,"

"Gosh,"

Vano immediately moved away from the post. He stood in the outdoor garden of the house to talk more freely with Delila.

"Pantes is long time no commute. Keep changing clothes not kayak want to minimarket," Inner Vano.

"I told you that I didn't want to meet and talk to him, but he asked security to talk to me again so I changed my mind. I finally met him. And you can certainly guess dong, the purpose of him coming to my house and want to see me for what? he was angry, he told me many times that I was a usurper. How does she know about my house?"

"Sorry before. He has been struggling a few times we met, he's seen me take you home, yes maybe from there he knows your house. Don't get into the heart of her talk yeah,"

"She's the most unwilling to be told self-intorpection, huh? she didn't want to find out what was wrong that made her husband turn away,"

*****

The arrival of Elvina made Vano instantly able to sigh in relief. Finally the waiting came. He was worried because it was getting late.

Elvina got out of the car without a word even though Vank had approached her. Vano is waiting for Elvina in the post after talking to Delila.

“Where are you from? It was a long time ago, he said he was just looking for pads. So where are the pads now? There's nothing you bring, El,” Vano's girlfriend after they get to the room.

“Elvina, why don't you answer me? Where's the sanitary pad you bought?” Vano asked because Elvina had not yet let out her voice.

“Nothing,”

“Actually you are not to minimarket to find prmbalut ‘kan? You go somewhere else,”

“Do not snoop!” Elvina looked at him sharply.

“I know! You're into people's homes ‘kan? You keep getting angry with that guy. You're why the hell? It's so weird,”

“Oh apparently he told you? Yes?”

“Elvina listen yes, I do not like your attitude like this. Don't look for problems with people,”

“Search for problems you said? Heh! I need to say the same thing that has been trying to mess with our relationship, is it wrong I did it? Huh huh? I don't care wrong, it's my turn to care, I want to make sure our relationship is okay too wrong in your eyes?”

“No way, you are not polite with people, future come-come directly turn on him?”

“I have ethics really, I did not come straight angry. In fact, I was begging him when he was talking to both when he should have dong who met me and made a mistake and continued to apologize to me, this was even kebik! He doesn't know himself! Wrong but his attitude is like doing nothing wrong. Instead, he even killed me. He said that I might not be the right wife so you turned away. It doesn't deserve to come out of the mouth of a man's snatch! You know?! Whatever the reason, the name of the affair is not allowed at all,”

Vano shook his head slowly watching Elvina who was venting her anger was not playing around. The woman spoke at length smoothly without hindrance and her voice was also high, signaling that at this moment Elvina's anger was already at the highest level.

“Indeed I authorize you to meet him?”

Elvina smiled cynically and shook her head inexhaustibly. Vano was concerned about his arrival at Delila's house.

“You think I'd come there? Huh huh? I had to come to her house because I was so angry about your lies. Obviously already in the know, still pretending to be stupid!”

“I'm not cheating. You still accuse me, El?”

“Still lacking evidence especially the hell? Hm? I didn't just meet you once!” Press Elvina while pointing at her husband's chest.

“But your accusation is not true at all,”

Vano who will touch Elvina's cheek immediately gets a hard rejection. Elvina slammed her husband's hand.

“Try to speak well with me. Why do you always think I'm cheating? What's reason?”

“Because I saw the evidence directly, I saw using my own eyes if you met him several times, he continued diligently connecting with you. Especially if you're not cheating on her name? Huh huh? Is that just a friend? You think I'm stupid, Ken? Where are any friends who interact like you? No one!”

“Yeah, honey, please don't debate, mending eat rice kebuli aja, yummy,”

Elvina is really not in good shape right now. His mood was broken and Vano even asked him to joke when they were talking seriously.

“You switched the conversation,”

“Not so, I'm tired of squirming you keep getting angry,”

When Vank finished talking like that, there was an incoming call on Vano's cell phone. He saw Delila's name on the screen. He glanced at Elvina who happened to be staring at him.

Without further ado Elvina snatches Vano's phone then slams it to the floor. He knew that the one who contacted Vano was the woman. Though only a few moments ago he met and He gave a firm warning to stop approaching Vano, but it turns out he was still presumptuous to contact Vano.

Vano was surprised instead of playing looking at his phone on the floor. He looked at his wife with unexpected eyes. Elvina had sacrificed her phone where everything important was there.

“That's a lot of work, El. Why are you banging? Huh?”

“I don't care! Is he not a deterrent either? I just came home after I met him, I gave him a warning to not disturb our household again, but in fact he was stupid, stubborn, shameless! Why is he still calling you? What business is it? Want to talk about your friendship? Or your dark relationship?”

Vano clucked not following Elvina's words. He ducked down to reach for his phone but Elvina immediately stomped on it to make Vano even more shocked.

“Elvina! Don't be insolent ya!”

“Why? I'm not afraid of you!”

Vano is angry, he's really emotional right now. He slammed Elvina's leg to stop acting.

“I never broke your phone because I know it's really important, but now what have you done, El? You ruined my phone, all my work is here!”

“Not a job you're really worried about, but that woman. You're afraid he can't contact you, later you guys so hard to exchange news huh?”

Vano gritted his teeth furiously. The molars clashed with each other. Instead of slapping Elvina who has crossed the line now, He better relieve his anger and surprise at the attitude of Elvina. He chose to stay away for a while. She was afraid of losing control if she was near Elvina.

*********

“Pak, where are you going?”

“Go a minute,”

Vano hurriedly came out of the house leaving Amih who was confused at seeing Ken's impatient move.

Not long after, Amih met with Amih who circulated the view as if he was looking for something.

“Why, Mom? Find Mr Vano? Just got out,”

“Oh out where? She said same to you?”

“Neg, Mom. Just said go for a minute,”

“Oh okay,”

Elvina went back to the room. Wanted to follow Vano actually but he was careless. Fighting with Vano just now had drained his energy.

“Let's go, whichever way he goes. Most want to meet again the same affair,”

Elvina was silent for a while and then she cried. In solitude, her tears fell unstoppably. His mood at the moment was very bad. The quarrel with Vano because of others often happens lately when previously it was not.

Elvina hastily wiped away her tears when her phone number was contacted by someone who was none other than her own mother.

Elvina exhaled a rough breath before answering her mother's call. He did not want to be caught crying, for some reason for now what he felt wanted to be kept alone.

“Assalamualaikum, Brother,”

“Waalaikumsalam, Ma,”

“You're healthy ‘kan?”

“Iya alhamdulillah, healthy mom also ‘kan?”

“Alhamdulillah healthy, somehow from the morning mama thought you continue, Brother. But really nothing ‘kan?”

Elvina smiled, somehow the story of how she felt reached her mother and made her worry.

“I'm fine, Ma,”

“Alhamdulillah then, Mama so calm hear it,”

“People have told me Anatha is in good health, mama doesn't believe,”

Elvina could hear the voice of her father now talking to his wife. Arman was confused because his wife did not calm down to think about Elvina continued he said. He tried to make sure that Elvina was okay, and still someone sent a message to each other, if Elvina was sick or something happened, surely Elvina had contacted.

“Vano where is it, El? She's been packing to go with papa yet?”

“Mas Vano again in the bathroom, Well. Packing soon, Dad,”

“Oalah not yet, even though papa wants to suck on him whatever he brought,”

“Shirt, Yeah,”

“Iya if it's dad also know,”

“Iya most shirts only ‘kan?”

“Iya, all her equipment, you know ‘kan? You packing or Vano yourself?”

“Let's go out together, Dad. You see I'm confused he wants to wear any clothes,”

“Yes, greetings to Vano yes, Sister. You guys are in good health,”

“Yes, Yeah,”

Arman's conversation with his eldest daughter is over. Early Turn that controls the chatter again. He was not satisfied talking to his daughter.

“El, mama just want to say, if later Vano go equally papa, automatically ‘kan you all because there is only Amih aja who became your friend. Mending nginap at home mom papa ya,”

“Iya ready, Bun,”

“Don't get ready don't know you're not here,”

“Actually the same, in that house I will be lonely too, Bun. You see ‘kan only no mother,”

“Ya dong not, we can walk, basically spend time together, uh three if Elvina want, so the guys go, we also can not lose,”

“I've lost, Bun. For some reason now I feel defeated by other women, the inner” of Elvina who even thinks in the other direction, even though the talk of her mother does not offend in any direction.

“Kak, don't forget to go home huh?”

“Iya, Bun. God willing I will stay at my mom's house if Vano is gone,”

“Dikasih same permission Vano yes?”

“Let me ask permission first with him,”

“Not ask permission also not anything time yes. He seems not to care,” added Elvina who this time only muttered in her heart.

*****

“That's cool rice from whom? Amih said, you received this cool rice. It's delicious too, I ate earlier, El,”

Though Elvina did not ask anything, talking to Vano since then also did not. But Vano was very active in getting his wife to interact.

If you are angry, Elvina is difficult to talk to until her mood has improved then she behaves as usual and is not passive in the chat.

“You really received this rice?”

Dinner with rice. And this is a dinner that's already late. Vano just got home after leaving.

“El, I know. How do you not answer?”

“Hmm,” Elvina just let out her dehemant voice alone in response.

“My phone can't be taken again. So I just bought a new one, so I went as soon as my phone slammed with you,”

“Reason, most also met him ‘kan? You tell him that your old phone I made is broken,”

“Seriously, I did come out on a cell phone, El. Dibetulin price is the same as buying new, I finally bought new,”

“Name!” Ketus Elvina who invited the naughtiness of her husband.

“You make rice kebuli dong, occasionally. Curious, it can be as good as this or not,”

“No! I ‘kan can't do anything, how is the same affair you? She can what? Pantes cheating, he's superior times huh? But unfortunately anyway, same husband people,”

Vano exhaled softly while shaking his head. His wife is becoming. The more good to insinuate.

“The accusation is a great sin, El. Especially if you accuse your husband. You are not afraid of sin?”

“No, because I'm not recriminating, I'm talking facts. I'm talking based on what I saw,”

Elvina bribed the rice in silence, saying nothing more and Vano also did not say a word.

“Oh yes, later help me pack yes?”

“Self, I want to rest, tired!”

“Awhile, I ‘kan want to go with papa,”

“You go the same who the cake is, it's up to you, it's none of my business,”

“I'm not good at packing, El,”

“I don't care,”

Vano rolled his eyeballs with a vexed feeling. Elvina is in a bad mood. He just spent a cell phone. Should be upset or careless is Vano because the valuable objects are damaged until finally He had to out the money to replace the new.

“I'm so wasteful this month, because buy a mobile phone,”

“Why should I buy again? Just pack your other phone, ‘kan have more than one,”

“But I want to change ah,”

“Ya don't have to babble. Money is also a lot, not how much for you if only to buy a mobile phone,”

“How much? Two five I'm out,”

“That's the result if you find a problem with me,” press Elvina while sharpening her gaze towards Vano.

“Heh! How do I say?” Vano returned the wife's gaze. He doesn't like his wife changing the call to me. It's been nice of me, sweeter and more polite.

“Like my mouth! Lo not entitled to chat,”

“Ya can't like dong, it's good I'm you, since when is lo I?”

“Yayaya,” deliberately Elvina issued a mutter that invites annoyance in the heart of Vano more soaring.

“Darling, help me pack later? You ‘know what I need,”

Once again Vano tried to get Elvina to help him. Elvina walked up from the dinner table carrying her old plate. The rice that he ate only a little so quickly ran out while Vano still left a little because the portion is more than Elvina.

“Enak nanya, want to add ah,”

Elvina came again to the dining table and took a sip of her water. He opened his mouth to greet Vano who had repeatedly praised the rice kebeli giving Jona has a delicious taste.

Elvina's words made Vano cough. Elvina did not want to look for trouble by saying that it was from Jona, but because they already had a problem and quarreled a while ago, then he was honest.

“This seriousness is from Jona? You asked to send her the same? Whynot? ‘And you can buy by yourself, or ask for help me,”

In reality Elvina did not ask to be sent, Jona was the kind one to send food again to her house. Yesterday the grilled chicken from Jona was thrown away, now the kebeli rice was eaten even by Vano as well because Vano did not know that it was from Jona. Maybe if Vano knew from the beginning, the man would do the same thing as before, which was to throw it in the trash.

“Ih I want to pukein can't,”

Vano pushed his plate away. He failed to want to add, even those that are still on the plate He just ignored after hearing from his wife that the rice kebeli that He values delicious is the gift of Jona.

“Vomitin only, besides Jona has no loss. Don't be hypocritical! You liked it, said it was good to continue even want to add,”

“I'm not a hypocrite, if I knew this from him, I wouldn't want to eat. Fear has been read-bacain with Mbah shamannya. Intentions want to lure you, uh even I am the allure, ‘kan terpercaya. Naudzubillah deh,”

“Do not think bad habits to people let alone I know how he is,”

“Whose heart knows? Maybe he just pretended to be good in front of you, originally he was not. He wants to take you from me,”

“Tuh, accuse people continue, sin you!”

“Well how are you doing, darling? Your work accuses me of continuing,”

“Dining table machines yes, because Amih has already slept. You are sure I ate earlier, even maksa when it was late at night,” said Elvina who wanted to leave the dining room.

“Where are you going? To room? Don't, wait for me to clean up first,”

“Yes I'll finish, come on, you go up there! Let me finish the dinner table,”

“No-no, I'm just, you're sitting me down I'm already quite,”

Vano wanted to carry out the duties his wife gave him infrequently. He did not allow Elvina to do so, only to be accompanied by Elvina.

“Why? You're afraid to be alone in the kitchen so ask me to help you?”

“Now, just don't want to be alone, like fun,”

“Emang should be careful, Mas. Usually ghosts like people who like cheating,”

Hearing that, Vano immediately swallowed his hard-earned saliva and suddenly Vano felt the fur of his romance standing up. Elvina called a ghost when it was night, yes even though it was not too late because it was only eight, but still managed to make it so bristling.

“Don't talk to him, it will be really nongol,”

“I ‘kan just tell you. Usually, the hobby of cheating likes to be disturbed. I go up to the room, you are here yourself, he said he would like to finish the dining table, huh? Don't need me to ‘, right? Yes, please, I'm up,”

“I am not afraid of ghosts because I am diligent in worship, and I am not a hobby of cheating, so relax. I just want you here to me, than you are alone in the room there is no me, if anyone fiddles how?”

Replace Vano who frightens his wife. Elvina directly hit Vano's arm with the napkin on the dining table.

“Nah ‘kan, she who is afraid actually,”

“No! I also diligently worship, so do not be afraid,”

“Craft emotions too, people say that often emotions like to be disturbed by the same demon horse lumping,”

“Heck shit!”

“Joking, Babe,”

Vano immediately walked away when Elvina wanted to throw him with a fork. It's also spooky if the fork sticks in one part of his body.

“Don't mess around ah same sharp object. It's friday night,”

“Yes that's why you don't want me!”

“You first started, all cheating-cheating everything, not obviously you tuh,”

“Yes I ‘kan just give you a warning, Mas. So that you be careful,”

Vano cleaned the dining table and strangely Elvina this time would obey her husband. She sat in the chair waiting for her husband to finish his work.

“Dah, done it. Come to the room help me pack ya,”

“Emang I said yes? Feelings of no,”

“Come, El. You don't want to help your husband. Please help me pack,”

Once in the room, Elvina immediately sat on the bed while Vano took out the suitcase and opened the closet wide.

“Choose my shirt, El,”

“Please!”

“Iya, I asked for help,” Vano forgot to pin the word ‘please’ so Elvina pressed the word.

“What screen?”

“I just came out of money to buy a new mobile phone, now have to leave also for you?”

“Ck! Basic calculation! The same as the others you are too? How does he want the same guy as you? Tickle, don't want to get out of money,”

“Eh if I'm stingy I won't give you money. What is the sign? I'm not stingy, take responsibility for my obligations,”

Elvina rotated her eyeballs. He was forced to get out of bed because Vano pulled his hand to help.

“You know I'm not really sprained again with you? Huh?”

“Tau, honey, don't talk about it, but I'm asking for help, I need your help. It's a little less bad, okay?”

“I just choose a shirt yes,”

“Please enter also into the suitcase, kayak usually you packing, El. Don't be half-and-half,”

“Udah for help, so much as she wants again,”

“Once in a while, I ‘kan not every day packing clothes. Sincerely ‘kan, Darling?”

“No, no sincerity,”

“Hah? Seriously? Do not do so, later can sin not reward if not sincere,”

“Nih, just take it there,”

Elvina gives Ken her choice of clothes and tells Vano to take her near the suitcase so that Elvina will put it in her husband's suitcase.

“This is all?”

“Yes how much do you want to bring? I'm staying at home,”

“Ya already five stel aja really, do not need much,”

“That's no shirt if in case there's an event, there's a shirt on, too,”

“Iya ready, Mom, thanks,”

Vano is very happy that his wife is really willing to help him to pack, so he is not dizzy. He said before that he is not good at packing.

“Bath tools, perfume, lingerie yet, Na,”

“Sabar dong, I'm looking at clothes again,”

“Udah don't need to add, that's enough,”

Elvina finally closed the closet door. Ken did not want him to increase the stock of clothes to be taken to Kalimantan, he thought it was enough and Elvina listened.

Now Elvina chose her husband's underwear and carried them to the suitcase. Later he will unite neatly.

“Anything is still available, until the underwear is still, uh try cheating on him,”

“No cheating dong,”

“You taught me how to take care of you?”

“Who?”

“Yes she is!”

“That's it,”

“Ya has done it yourself,”

Elvina Kesla because of her husband's advice. Finally she moved but her hands were immediately blocked by her husband who laughed shamelessly when it was night still laughing satisfied so.

“That's it, ntar I kiss nih,”

“People I asked seriously, he has taught you how to take care of you yet?”

“Udah,”

“Eh enggak—enggak, just kidding kok,” said Vano after seeing the sharp gaze of his wife. Elvina immediately believed as soon as she heard the answer.

“Oh so? Did you teach it? What material did you teach him? What are you taking care of in what? Eat, take care of a kayak shirt like this, or—“

“Jeez, I'm just kidding, El. Don't baper dong,”

“No, I'm sure it's honesty from you, no longer kidding,”

“It was just a joke, a serious,”

“Tuh. Meaning seriously, the proof says so at the end,”

“It is, whatever,”

“Tuh say that, means really already taught him about this is it huh? If it's not the same as me, he doesn't miss me anymore. It's ‘kan?”

“You want to separate from me?”

“Yes than you messing around behind me mending split aja, yes? I don't want to eat liver,”

The nights discussed farewell. Should have discussed what makes me happy. Biasnaya couple husband and wife ‘kan. The night before bed there was a warm conversation.

“Besok take me to the airport ‘kan? When I'm leaving,”

“You want me to drop off?”

“You are so bad, can ‘kan?”

Elvina was silent, when her arms were shaken by her husband then she nodded her head.

“Ya!”

“Casual, boss,”

“Such a ribet part. My hands don't need to be dong,”

“Yes, you don't want to answer,”

“Iya I'm interrupting,”

“Yes! That dong, glad I was,”

“Not ask to come with her?”

“Crazy a time, there is papa time I want—“

“Oh because there is papa I so dare not ask between him, yes?”

“No, janda,”

“Halah! Kanda-canda, tell me it's like that,”

“I don't understand who you mean, I don't have him, it's just you,”

******

“Dasar tacky! Tickling new mobile phone sounds so noisy,”

Elvina deactivates Vano's ringing phone. He didn't realize there was a call from someone. Because He was still sleepy He finally just turned it off without seeing it.

After the dawn of Adhan, Elvina woke up as usual. She tied her hair and then got out of bed. She took ablution water for worship, after which she woke her husband, only with her mouth. If it does not work with the mouth usually Elvina hit Ken's feet using bolsters.

“Ken, wake! Adzan tuh, pray!”

“Iya,”

Elvina didn't have to bother waking her husband up this morning. Early in the morning is usually not difficult. Vano is a little hard to wake up in the morning if he sleeps too late. Ten o'clock Vano was sleeping last night. Most likely if she sleeps at one night up then Elvina should be more patient to wake her husband a little.

“I'm a little unwell like,”

“Why? Fever?”

“Dizziness, same nose I stuck,”

“Ya have rest at home, don't work,”

“Liat later deh, if you are not strong for work I will take off first,”

They perform congregational prayers. After that Vano wants to follow Elvina to the kitchen. “You have breakfast toast so you can take medicine,”

“You're not cooking?”

“I was going to buy porridge, Amih don't have to cook,”

“Oh yes I am also like you,”

“But ‘kan porridge rather noon, seven o'clock at the earliest, nothing?”

“Hmm yes already, now I eat existing only first so quickly take medicine,”

“Iya that's what I said,”

“Nih bread equals jam,”

Vano sitting at the dining table, Elvina held out bread with jam. Vano shook his head. He wants Elvina to make it.

“Kok so give it to me?”

“Ya ‘kan you who want to eat,”

“Bikin dong, El. Me who wants to eat and you do not want to make bread for me,”

“Let you be independent, do nothing bribed,”

“I didn't ask to be bribed tuh,”

“That's not what I mean! Anything ask to me,”

“Because you're my wife, ask for another?”

Elvina began to smear bread for her husband to eat. After that he also brought warm water.

Seeing Ken move from the dining table, he asked, “Where? Want breakfast ‘kan?”

“Take a cell phone,”

“You guys take your medicine in the room,”

“Okay ready,”

Vano rushed to the room to pick up his smartphone and the medicine his wife ordered earlier.

“That last night feeling there's still the battery, this is dead,”

Vano is confused because his smartphone is dead. He thought it was out of power, it turned out that once he pressed the power button, it could instantly turn on and the power was still eighty-one percent.

Vano opened a history of missed calls because there was a notification once the phone was active that at four in the morning there was an incoming call.

“It looks like Elvina is the one who killed my phone, because she called. How very presumptuous!”
