Shadow From the Past
Chapter 130

"Hello, where are you? He said just a little coffee but how come it hasn't arrived home yet? I've been home since,"

"Here-yes I'm back,"

Vano kept his phone back in his pocket after answering the phone from Elvina. Vano looked at Agatha and Rendra alternately.

"Sorry yes, I came back first because Elvina had called,"

"Yes, he's probably worried you're sick again but he's running around, Van,"

"Ah would most like to fight again,"

"Ih Ken can't say that. True said Mas Rendra, maybe brother is worried because you were out of the house when you were sick again,"

"Yes maybe. Yes, I went back first, Assalamualaikum,"

"Go back! Don't go anywhere first," Rendra told Vano while pointing at Vano and looking at him sharply.

"Yes! Where do you think I'm going?"

"Yes, you want to go everywhere first. If that's the sign you look for problems, how not to fight mulu, lo people also like fishing anyway,"

"You know him,"

"There come home, don't fight here,"

Agatha interceded with her husband and also the husband of her ex-boyfriend who was even clashing her mouth. Rendra advised Vano to go home immediately do not wander anywhere, while Vano did not accept because of his advice Rendra was as if accusing him of wandering alias not directly home.

"That I want to go home, bye, Assalamualaikum,"

"Guilipinam,"

Agatha chuckled over Rebdra's shoulder which immediately looked at her confusedly. "Why the hell? How do you laugh?"

"You're the same Vano if another little storm like that was funny,"

"If again a big storm can still be said to be funny?"

"Emang you ever make a big fuss with him?"

"Yes, once, when I was Elvina,"

"Oh because of El's brother's seizure,"

"Yes, she was angry with me, and I was angry with her because I felt that Elvina had been taken with her. But that's it, Bee, I don't remember either,"

"Yes, now a big fuss who are you, Mas?"

"Huh? Nothing, I never make a fuss,"

"Don't do it, no one's taken away again, right?"

"Nothing, you already have me, who would dare to take it? Huh huh? I dare make a big fuss if someone really wants to grab you,"

"Wuidih serem as it sounds, Mas,"

Rendra smiled and his face forward wanted to kiss Agatha on the forehead but Agatha immediately rewinded her head while staring intently.

"Mas can't be fucked!"

"Well, people want to swoop down on mosquitoes, you think everywhere, anyway,"

"What time do you want to pat the mosquito head forward? Dong's hand should be forward,"

Rendra laughed no longer. He forgot that this was a public place, and he kissed Agatha on the forehead. The only reason for swatting a mosquito, the reality is to kiss.

"My life is me,"

"Well, can't I be lied to, Mom?"

"Yes-iya deh, sorry, my forgetfulness if again outside even want to nyosor because of your clamor. Your cheeks are getting fuller, so the more you want to bite,"

"No way, it will bleed if bitten," said Agatha while cupping her left right cheek. Rebdra smiled biting on his lower lip.

Because the lips can not work, finally the hands are the ones that work. He pinched Agatha's cheek which became more contained when he noticed.

******

Vano stopped his car at the chicken porridge tent stall. He would eat it before he came home. He ignored what Rendra said earlier that told him to go straight home.

In fact, he was wandering to find a porridge seller first so that until the house there was ammunition to face Elvina who would surely chatter again because she left.

Vano got out of the car and immediately sat in one of the empty places. Just sitting down, his phone vibrated. There's another call coming in from Elvina.

"Hello, El,"

"Not going home yet? You're cured, yeah, so you can go anywhere,"

"In the meantime, I'm gonna eat some more porridge, I'm gonna order some more,"

"Remain buy more porridge? Huh huh? 'Well have I bought it, don't you want to eat the porridge I bought? Please buy it there,"

"Oh, have you bought it? Yes, I eat at home,"

Elvina stopped her phone call. Vano almost felt guilty if he had eaten here, even though his wife had bought a similar meal.

Vano left the tent. Luckily he hasn't ordered yet. Vano got in the car and went straight to the house.

Elvina had contacted him twice because she had not yet returned home. Elvina must have thought he stopped by first.

*****

"So Mas Vano is suspicious? He seems to want to go with someone, huh, Mih?"

"Hmm? No, Ma. But if the phone call is yes,"

"Huh? Who's he on the phone?"

"Astaghfirullah, this is the mouth why it's so chatty!" Amih cursed his own mouth that could not be locked properly. Though Vano had the messages earlier so as not to tell anything about him who had talked to his name Delila on the phone because it could create a quarrel with Elvina.

But he leaked it to Elvina. They feared that they would quarrel, and He did not want that to happen.

"Mih, please answer me. Whose phone call?"

"Call his friend, Mom. But don't know now Mr. Vano went with his friend or not,"

"Whose phone am I asking?"

"I—me—forget me, Mom,"

"Mu'm lying to me,"

"I totally forgot, Mom,"

Elvina chuckled in disbelief. His eyes are now squeaking towards Amih who is still trying to cover up even though he has slipped. Looks like he knows who Vano's friend Amih meant. There's no way Amih looked tense after the shock that Vano's friend was a boy, definitely a girl who spoke to Vano on the phone and she was sure it was Delila.

"Oh forgot it? Want me to remember? Her name is Delila, isn't it?"

He shook his head a few times. Anatha chuckled pat Amih's shoulder gently. "Yes right, I'm sure he called Delila and I think she went with that woman again, too,"

"I don't know about it, Mom. Maybe it's true Mr. Vano is just a coffee but too comfortable in a coffee place to be long,"

"When he was sick. Let's not get well, told to rest even not clear. It's not a coffee for a second, it's another purpose for him,"

The doorbell of the house reads indicating that someone has come to the house and permission to enter. I immediately rushed to open the door.

"Assynolt,"

"Waalaikumsalam, I've already seen Mr. Ken,"

"That's why I've been called mulu, Mih,"

"Mother is worried, sir. You see, Mr. Ken is sick,"

Vano chuckled and stepped in quickly while calling Elvina who was at the dining table.

"Honey, I'm having coffee" he said, sitting in front of Elvina.

"It was just a moment, but it was really long. What's coffee, Ken?"

"Not anywhere, seriously. Just in the cafe,"

"Whose phone call was the same?"

"Huh?"

Vano looked like a fool and Elvina who saw that was suddenly upset. Elvina rolled her eyes irritated.

"No need to heh hoh hoh you! I know you called Delila, right? When I left,"

"No,"

Vano glanced at Amih who was crossing the dining table with his head lowered. In Vano's heart grumbled because Elvina knew it must be from Amih's mouth when He had told Amih so Elvina did not need to know that He was contacting someone.

"You long time no going home for sure because again met the same him. Aye, right?"

"No, El, I'm seriously not lying,"

Elvina snorted, her mouth may say no lie but Vano's eyes could not be lied to. Surely his heart said that Vano was lying when Vano was lying to him. Conversely, if Vano is honest, his heart will say so.

"You keep trying to fool me, Mom. Not tired of what?"

"Huh? I'm not really lying to you, or fooling you,"

"You'll get the stone,"

Elvina rushed upwards leaving Vano who swallowed her hard-earned saliva. That one Elvina just swore at, huh? Well, he's scared too.

Vano immediately called Amih to ask the woman directly. Now he's fighting again because Elvina knows he's talking to Delila. Especially if Elvina finds out she met Delila, there could be another war.

"Amih, you're the one who talked to Elvina when I called someone? And you tell me his name? Just tell my friend who a man should be,"

"Udah, Sir. But I don't believe it. I'm the one from the beginning of the accident, I'm sorry, sir. I said that Mr. Vano had a phone call, but I have not said who the person who called the same Mr. Vano uh I can already know,"

Vano clucked in annoyance. In Elvina's head it was perfectly attached to her name Delila. Anything Delila.

****

****

"Abis what story is the same person who is now a friend even you consider like that sister? bad story about me, huh? hmm?"

Elvina turned her head when the door was opened and Vano entered directly talking to her like that.

"Can't you accuse me?"

"I'm not accusing you, I heard you earlier,"

"Oh nguping turned out. In addition to cheating likes to nguping also you yes,"

"When it has been said with Agatha do not talk to me constantly angry, occasionally chat casually with me, can not what?"

"It can't be because you like fishing,"

"Because I lied again, it turned out. She said she didn't meet Deila and didn't know God would tell me you were lying! you got caught on the road with Delila. How does it feel to meet Rendra Agatha? if I were you, it would be bad because of your family's willingness to cheat on you,"

"I'm relaxed, I don't care because I don't cheat anymore,"

“I tell you what the truth is, no nagging. ‘Kan it's true you cheated,”

“Always ridicule me in front of the family, not satisfied you are, El,”

“Ngejelekkin how? I'm just telling Agatha about what I'm dealing with now,”

“What are you dealing with now?”

“Your lies,” said Elvina while heading out to the balcony. Vano followed him and as soon as he got behind Elvina he suddenly smothered Elvina's mouth until Elvina groaned in annoyance.

“Aaan anyway?! You want to kill me, right?! Huh?!”

“Yeah, people are just joking around. Ala-ala such criminals, anyways ‘kan not fast, not like a real robber,”

Vano chuckled as he ruffled his wife's hair in anger as she suddenly silenced her mouth from behind. Elvina was surprised because she was staring ahead.

“So you're jealous of me huh? I think I heard it like that,”

“I didn't say I was jealous. If it does so until it is complete. The ears are used for chewing. That's wrong,”

“Ah is correct? Didn't you just say you were jealous?”

“I didn't say that!”

“Yes relax, El. Don't glare so much at her husband,”

“What did you do in the same cafe Delila?”

Elvina diverted the conversation. He has not discussed Vano and Delila Agatha had met in the cafe.

“Not accidentally met,”

“Have a lie. You obviously called him before you left. Then you two make a pact to meet. Yes ‘kan?”

“Now,” elak Vano with her slanted smile that invites Elvina to ruffle her husband's face.

“From your smile it's already known if you lie, Mas,”

“But really did not accidentally meet,”

“Ayes this wide world can bring you together in the same place?”

“Well I'm the same Agatha Rendra can only meet, the same time she can't?”

“If both of them really did not intentionally, but if the same he was intentionally alias already planned the same you two,”

“Mending us sightseeing to seaworld yuk,”

“Not really connect again talking what, suddenly even jump to seaworld,”

“Yes let us relax, we see the marine animals,”

“I'm not a kid who can be entertained that way. You mean after leaving with him, now is the time to make me happy so yes?”

“Jeez, Elvina. Don't think negative mulu why? I want to make sure you go,”

“Rather than you go-go keep mending rest, he said sick,”

“Cie worried,” led Vano while piercing his wife's cheek with index finger. Elvina brushed away her cheeks and then slammed her husband's hand.

“Not worried! If you come out with me, then you'll even take care of me,”

“I feel like you continue to ya, Na?”

“Iya! You are usually just to take care of me, keep lying and cheating,”

Vano immediately grabbed the waist of his wife who was about to enter the room. Elvina looked at him sharply, whether she wanted to let alone this man.

“Let's take a walk,”

“I'm not interested in traveling! Moreover, the same you who had clearly gone with the others. He said it hurt but his legs wobbled, mending a real thought, Mas, mumpung still alive,”

Elvina took Vano's hand off her waist and went inside the room leaving a laughing Vano.

Vano immediately ran a small approach to his wife who was staring at the phone with a position lying on the sofa room.

“Kok is here? In bed, El,”

“No, I'm where none of your business is, Mas,”

“But I want to sleep while hugging you, El,”

Vano was forced to lie down on the side of Elvina which was still empty and it was very narrow. Elvina clucked because she felt annoyed.

“Do not disturb, Mas! I want to be alone here,”

“Not anything narrow that matters can be alone,”

Elvina pushed the one who hugged her waist. Automatically make Vano will not move.

“Mas! Sit there! Please don't bother me!“

“Mumping me at home, don't fight mending friendly,”

The rebellious Elvina did not want to be hugged by Vano. “Darling, come,” whisper Vano in the ear makes Elvina bristles, her romantic fur stands all.

“Mas, you're in bed only late, not here,”

“No, I want to be here, why the hell?”

“Ya can't because I've already taken this sofa,”

“There are rules of kayak so, ah you nih,”

“Do not like gini dong, Mas. I don't want you to bother!”

“I don't bother, just want to hug, Na,”

“You don't want to hug, Ken,”

“Emang what do I want try?”

“Ya don't know, you know,”

“I want you, can not?”

When there is a narrow sofa, Vano may say that he wants Elvina.

Elvina clucked in her husband's chest again. “Sana ah! What the hell are you?!” Elvina did not want to, visible from her gesture, but Vano did not give up.

“I miss you so much, so I want you,”

“Kangen-kange! How long have we not met? Huh?”

“We meet constantly but fight on, I'm kangen,”

“I want,”

Vano is now seated. His hands presumptuously wanted to unbutton the clothes Elvina was wearing. His wife was startled and glared sharply at him.

“Aaan anyway? Emil me—“

“Please, I miss this,”

As if hypnotized, Elvina who previously objected to fulfill Vano's wishes, now instead let Vano take off the clothes.

“Do not take pills yes, El. Want enggak?”

“No, I'm afraid of getting pregnant. I don't want to get pregnant when you're just messing with other women,”

Remember the other woman, Elvina suddenly put her shirt buttons again. He was stupid, he should not have fulfilled Vano's request because Vano had betrayed him.

“Kok closed again?” Vano did not understand. He was happy because Elvina was not rebellious, now that he saw Elvina was wearing her clothes again.

“You are so evil, no brains. You asked me when you had something else?”

“You're my wife so I just want you, I just miss you,”

“No! I don't want to,”

Elvina wanted to sit away from Vano but Vano immediately blocked her hand. Vano also paralyzed Elvina to lie down again on the sofa.

“Yakin nih don't want to nurutin me? You have not refused before, you know,”

“Because I remember sins,”

“Ya continues why now nolak? Means do not remember sins again dong?”

Without further ado Vano silenced Elvina's mouth with her lips. He kissed Elvina who opened his lips to answer him, He did not accept rejection anymore.

He really missed his wife. He wants Elvina under his confinement. Elvina's right, and Elvina's got an obligation to fulfill her wish. So wait especially? It's time they lower their egos and knit each other's love on the contest.

Vano carried Elvina and moved her on the bed. There was no way they were on the sofa because it was too narrow. Hugs are hard.

“Mas, I haven't answered—“

“Yes, you answered yes,”

“Kap—hmmp,”

Vano kissed Elvina's lips again demanding. He did not allow Elvina to say anything more. While her mouth was working, her hands were also working to strip off what was to be Elvina's body armor which to her was perfect.

“Honey, don't take pills yes,”

“I don't want to get pregnant, we're not all right now,”

“We've never been okay all this time. Anyway don't take the pill, okay?”

Vano rolled his eyes. After their skin met, Vano again launched the action, not directly at the core.

She stroked each inch of Elvina's neck with her lips and tongue until Elvina felt a strange twinge in her body.

“I love very much with you,” whispered Vano interspersed lips make Elvina lulled.

“You too?”

“Arghh Mas!”

Elvina grimaced as Vano sucked the skin of her neck. He was surprised to push Vano's head but it did not manage to get Ken out of the way.

“Sick!”

“What pain is good? Who was grimacing or sighing? Hmm?”

Their mornings were finally spent with intimate togetherness on the bed. Vano uses the best possible opportunity. Although He was not healthy but while He was at home and Elvina too, just hit the gas because it happened to have been longing once.

******

After being equally satisfied in bed, Vano persuaded her to invite Elvina to take a bath together.

Elvina, who initially refused firmly because she knew what would end up like if they took a bath together, eventually fell because of Vano.

And Elvina's estimate is correct. They not only take a shower, but repeat the previous one.

After that, they really bathe in the real sense that is cleaning the body.

“Abis this where we go, El?”

“Not anywhere, I'm tired. Am I like you who looks like a horse?! No fatigue, wonder,”

“The name is also Vano. You who initially refuse I can make nurut,”

“From you committing domestic violence,”

“Jeez yes no, time just because it was rejected to be playful?”

“Can only, so it's overpowered by lust,”

“You mostly watch soap opera, El,”

“Udah changed again his call. Don't want to call me baby again?”

Vano smiled at the words of Elvina who sounded protesting against her who again eliminated the call of love for Elvina.

“Said, I don't want to love just alone, want to be loved too,”

Vano grabbed the soap and stood behind Elvina, seeing that Elvina was confused. He took his soap bottle that Vano took over.

“What do you want?!”

“I'm soapine,”

“Not done! Why all my soap? Mending clean your own body,”

“Yes, you don't want to be so friendly with me, El,”

Elvina did not know. She focused on taking a quick shower after coming out of the bathroom first than her husband and putting on clothes. Long time near Vano can make it crazy.

“Kok is done anyway?”

“You want me to take a shower until the day after tomorrow? Huh?”

“Ya usually also long time you bathe,”

“There's you so I don't take long,”

“Emang why if there is me? I wanted to make soap, El,”

“Not comfortable if there is you, anyways I can go crazy long time near you,”

Vano was blown up inside the bathroom hearing the upset speech from Elvina. Vano is less healthy but can still provoke Elvina to anger.

Elvina had refused at the beginning, finally made a conquer, then Elvina again refused because tired, again He was made complacent until finally defeated again. The turn is exhausted like now the innate wants to nag Vano alone.

“El, please make instant noodles yes,”

“You want a lot. Last ‘kan had eaten, that chicken porridge where? To the stomach isn't it?”

“Is it, when I dumped it in the trash? Now hungry again, drained of energy,”

Elvina clucked not wanting to comply with Vano's request this time. Let her husband make his own instant noodles.

“You ‘kan have hands, have feet, same have brains so can make your own,”

“But stingy,”

Vano rubbed as her hands cleaned the fine hairs that began to grow around the bottom of her chin and over her lips.

“Come make, El, lest I ajakin make another child,”

“Mas what the hell? You make it yourself. What am I, ask the same affair you dong there,”

“Then I ask anyone for anything, who are you really? Will you accept? You're not going to nag?”

“Please, you who sin,”

“No, I never asked anyone for anything, let alone ask for something. Never been,”

“I doubt that's why I didn't want to, I'm afraid of venereal disease,”

Vano was so satisfied that he had to keep his chin away from the tools he used to cut the fine hairs growing on his chin and near his lips.

He was really intrigued when he found out Elvina had his mind gone everywhere. Right, Elvina was convinced that she was cheating.

“Smeoga am in good health,”

“Yeah, you think so? Who do you think I'm playing with? There is nothing, if you want to sort it out from the first time. Don't think bad of me, El. Not tired of what?”

“Ya reasonable dong if I suspect because you ‘kan already have someone else but strange you even want to make me pregnant,”

“If I had anything else, I wouldn't want you to get pregnant, my dear. Geez, make me a hiccup just you,”

Vano rinsed his entire body until it was completely clean after which it came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

“Nih yes horrin, if I want to mess around, I will not go back to you, will not want to be you as the mother of my children, will not be possible. So stop thinking weird about me yeah,”

“Trustful,”

“Must believe the point,”

“Please make instant noodles, El,” again Vano ask to be made instant noodles by his wife.

Vano rushed to put on the shirt after which it came back closer to Elvina who turned on the television. Her eyes bulged after Elvina put down the television remote, Elvina grabbed her contraceptive pill.

“Darling, please, don't drink it mulu why the hell?! It's enough, now don't do it anymore,”

“I ‘kan not love you yet, so I'm not ready to have a child from you, Mas. At that time you said that you would understand, why now suddenly change your mind? You banned me?”

“Yes, because I think it's time we had a kid, El. Wait especially? Wait you love me? Until the house collapsed does not love mean until the house collapsed also we do not have children? Do we keep our marriage going? No new personnel?”

“Yes, instead of having children becomes a victim of our selfishness,”

“Actually you are selfish, El. Umpah, here I keep the pills, do not have to drink,”

“Ken, don't make a fuss why the hell?”

“Ya already once this is not necessary, tomorrow-tomorrow is up deh,”

“Yes what's the difference? I'll keep drinking the point, too,”

“Only last time so, ‘kan who knows me as a baby,”

“Ih I don't want to have children! What if I were pregnant? I'm also again in fertile days, Mas,”

Elvina tries to reach for her contraceptive pill which is now in Vano's hands after previously Vano managed to seize.

“Mas! Balikin fast!”

“No want, once in a while do not use the name of safety, let us have children. All this time I'm patient, I've been silent about you drinking this even though I'm really offended because of that you don't want to have a child from me,”

“Ya why have children if even a victim? He'll hear us fight a lot, Mas,”

“We will not fight if you can grow up and not be selfish, continue to love with me and automatically if love can accept and appreciate me so in the end there will be no debate or quarrel, we will be safe. Yes, there is a small debate, but not only about love and the past,”

Elvina pinched the waist of her husband standing in front of her with her legs slightly raised and her arms pointed upwards to keep her so-called safety out of Elvina's reach.

Vano wants his wife to escape the safety so Elvina can concede and they can hold the baby as soon as possible. Vano feels that if they have children, their marriage will be more colorful, not filled with debate almost every day.

“According to me yes, this time aja deh,”

“Ya turned back first,”

“No want, you just don't want to make me instant noodles,”

“Yeah still discuss that, okay! I make it now but it's back. Tomorrow I want a drink, now I want to recite what you say,”

Vano smiled and shook his head. He won't believe it. Elvina still insisted on not wanting to get pregnant, so there was no way Elvina would miss the pill after they had come into contact let alone said Elvina earlier. Elvina must be very vigilant right now.

“No, I'm the one holding,”

Elvina rolled her eyes irritated. With stomping footsteps, Elvina walked out of the room to make the instant noodles her husband wanted.

While Vano smiled satisfied because his wife was gone. He stared at the thing in his hand right now. Without further ado, he threw away the pills that belonged to his wife after he stepped on them in a fit of annoyance.

“I don't use security, you're still trying to do what?! Not fair dong! I want to have a child, Vano's inner” scolds his wife's contraceptive pill that has made him angry since the beginning of being consumed by Elvina.

“Hopefully Elvina won't buy that pill and drink again,”

*****

“Mother, want to make instant noodles? This ‘make me want to cook for lunch, Mom,”

“This is Mas Vano who wants, Mih,”

“Oh Mr. Vano requested. Uh yeah we go to the supermarket, ma'am?”

“So, this abis yes,”

“Ready, Mom,”

Amih resumed the activity of cooking lunch that since a few minutes ago he did.

“Add cawit yes, El,”

“How much?”

“Hmm five, cut small,”

“You sure your stomach will be fine after eating this instant noodles?”

“Yakin, I've missed eating instant noodles with rawit, uh add in eggs also two. Eggs go directly to inside—“

“Iya chatty! I know, the eggs are directly cooked the same noodles ‘kan? Not raised or blocked,”

Vano smiled with satisfaction as Anatha understood his wish. “Iya's right, El. Thanks for knowing what I want, hehehe,”

Amih chuckled to hear Vano teasing his wife like that. Vano sat at the bar table observing Elvina who was standing in front of the stove by turning her back.

“Ati-ati cook,”

Elvina turned her head towards Vano and looked at him sharply. It was very desirable for Elvina to put the hot cayenne into Ken's noisy mouth.

“Can be silent? Don't disturb. Want me to give her mouth? Huh?”

“Don't dong, a great time with her husband. I like rawit when eaten with something, not rawit,”

“Usir aja she's from home, Mih. Noisy, disturb the peace,”

“Well, if I evicted Mr. Vano, there I was sent back, Mom,”

“No, I'll guarantee you stay safe in this house,”

“I if sent away where are you going? Hmm.oh to the hotel again just like that time when I went from home. It's also nice to live alone from one hotel to another,”

“Not alone dong, ‘kan will be there are temenin,”

“No, being alone is more exciting. I felt so single again that time,”

“It will not be alone, because there is Delila who will be temenin,”

“Yeah, start again,”
