Shadow From the Past
Chapter 13

“Assalamualaikum, El,”

“Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Vano. So really from the father of pizza? I was very surprised when Mother said there was a delivery from the father. Not yet I anything this, because I want mastiin first,”

“Iya it's right from me, don't throw it yes, hopefully you like,”

“I can't possibly throw it away, sir. Thank you for sending it but next time you don't have to send anything else to me. Not good about it,”

“You ‘kan did not ask, I do want to send it to you. Eaten yes, may you, auntie same om like,”

“Definitely like, once again thanks, sir, and sorry to bother,”

Vano chuckled, there was no bother for Elvina. There was no request from Elvina but she wanted to send something to Elvina.

“Oh yes why not contact me directly for mastiin it from me or not? Why go through Davina? My phone number you save ‘kan?”

“Iya, Sir. I am not good when I go straight to my father. I am saddening so through Pak Vano's younger brother aja,”

“Other times if you want to ask anything, or discuss something, anyway whatever it is, do not hesitate to contact me, whether it is related to college, or others. Okay, El?”

“But I'm hesitating, more comfortable with Davina, sir. This is me honest,”

“No need to hesitate, you can contact me for any interest, and when can also,”

“No, going to Davina is better than going to the father. I'm afraid to disturb you. You see father ‘kan busy people, so I do not feel good if it disturbs,”

“Yes, El. I'm even glad you're interrupting, honestly,”

“Why is that so, Sir?”

“Yes because sometimes I want to be bothered with you, let us have interactions other than about college. During this time ‘kan I hold-resistant so as not more than just ask for assignments or campus exams,”

“Udah first yes, Sir chat. Again thank you very much for the delivery,”

Actually Vano does not matter if he and Elvina talk longer. But unfortunately Elvina was willing to end their conversation.

“Iya equally,”

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam,”

After talking to Elvina, Vano immediately approached her sister in her own room to return the phone.

He knocked on Davina's bedroom door, which Davina soon opened. “Kalem ya ngetuknya, not like me earlier,”

“It is he, his brother is patient, you are not impatient. If it is a bit long to be booked, it means that you are sleeping or your brother in the bathroom so it is not strange,”

“Because I'm also really curious about who sent pizza to Elvina. Uh it turns out brother. Geez so bucin anyway,”

“Send food emang bucin? That's normal, Dav,”

“Abang wants to send food, maybe Elvina has not eaten so let her eat. Well by chance brother wants pizza,”

“Terus why not buy? Why only buy for El aja, Bang?”

“This again wants a message. That means let Elvina aja first, so she who ate first, Abang ‘kan new abis bath also earlier. The intention is to order abis shower,”

“Ah so sweet Abang put girls first. I also want to,”

“Heh you said what? Want what? Want to be followed by guys too? Try who's the guy? Quickly tell Brother,”

Davina immediately covered her mouth with her hands as she spoke. His words made his brother suspicious.

“Nobody. It was just my wish, Bang. In the future maybe,”

“If now do not have to hope for a guy to be a priority, or preferred. You are enough to be a priority parents with your brother,”

“El, why you? How to daydream, son?”

Early opened the door to his son's room, but he saw Elvina lying her head on the study table while staring at the phone screen blankly.

When He asked, Elvina also did not give a response and it made Dini worried. Dini immediately approached Elvina and rubbed her child's shoulder and managed to make her sit firmly and her face was shocked to see the arrival of her mother. Just a moment ago, he was alone in his room, now there was his mother and he did not know when the mother came.

“Eh Mother, surprise me. When is Mommy coming?”

“Barusan, you why? How do you dream that?”

Dini immediately grabbed the daughter's phone just the wayang. Because according to him the source that makes Elvina daydream comes from her son's phone.

Elvina could no longer hold her mother back from reaching for her phone. Dini has already seen the photo of her ex Elvina with other women.

Early exhaled a rough breath, He looked at his son sharply while putting his son's phone on the study table.

“You why the hell? Huh huh? Still can't forget that guy? When are you gonna get, El? He has hurt you too deeply but why do you still remember him? You're wasting her energy thinking, El. You ‘kan see for yourself he is happy with his choice. Move on dong should, don't keep thinking of him. He does not think about you. She is with another woman, do not need to remember anymore because it is of no benefit to you. Oh my God, what's wrong with you, El? Mommy has frothy mouth telling you,”

Elvina lowered her head as her mother breathed out her heart that was really tired of facing her son who was still not separated from the past even though he had been hurt.

“Don't be stupid dong, son. You are an extraordinary woman, you deserve happiness, deserve a man more than him why should he keep thinking about her anyway? Huh?”

“Mother, it's hard for me to forget Rendra. I still love him even though he hurt me, we failed to get to a more serious level,”

“Yes it is a sign of Allah I love you, so you are not the same. Finally what? Unloading ‘kan he is not a good man. You should be thankful that Allah has given him the dilapidation before you are serious, so that the pain you feel does not multiply. And you should immediately bury your feelings, son. Because for what is still love equal men who are not good like that? Want to get to when? Hmm?”

Elvina herself also does not know until when she continues to remember Rendra when Rendra has chosen to be with other women when He and Renda still have a relationship. He loved Rendra too much and he was stupid there. Although it has been hurt still love, he is indeed really stupid if the affairs of the heart.

“Udah yes, anyway mama does not want you to remember him again. Instead of you remember the same guy is not good, he was happy with the other, meningan you try your heart again. You open your heart to others, Mama, I don't think it hurts. Instead of you focus on the past. Fortunately, your performance does not spoil anymore because of him. If it happens a second time, Mama really doesn't understand you anymore, El. Mama is angry with you. You can sacrifice your own achievements for the sake of men who cannot even appreciate you. So don't be a fool, son. If you have been hurt, do not be appreciated, yes mendingan go. Father equally mother does not really willing our only daughter to be stupid because of love like this,”
