Shadow From the Past
Chapter 132

“Mas, where are my pills? You saved ‘kan?”

Vano shrugged his shoulders because he was busy with his laptop. He glanced at Elvina at a glance. The woman was busy looking for the contraceptive pill she had thrown away. Want to see the apocalypse is also not to be found, unless Elvina takes it in the pharmacy.

He had already thrown it away and Elvina did not know yet. Elvina searched in her nightstand drawers, medicine boxes, dresser drawers, down to the pillow she was looking for.

“Mas, where are my pills? Answer dong, you can be busy working but answer first my question,”

“Not know,”

“Ih I don't know anyway? ‘Kan equally you are the pill! You don't fuck me,”

“Emang don't know,”

Elvina clucked and threw a pillow at her husband. Vano immediately gave a sharp look as his laptop almost fell from his lap when Elvina threw a pillow at him.

“Ya don't know, the point doesn't know,”

“You should know! Because you saved it!”

“Lupa,” sahutannya slow that invite anger Elvina increasingly become. He was tired of looking everywhere but could not find it. While he should consume it.

“Mas, can you please be serious? I need that,”

“I threw away,”

Finally came the confession out of Vano's mouth. Elvina immediately looked at him flat and her molars clashed against each other.

“From yesterday I asked and you said don't know, forget! Now you say it's been dumped! Which one is right?!”

“I throw away, sorry,” said Vano again with his leisure.

Elvina came to her husband. It pinched Vano's arm skin tightly until Vano grimaced in pain.

“Sick, El. You are so rude. You can be prosecuted for domestic violence, you know,”

“You why the hell look for trouble keep the same me?! Why are you throwing away the pills?! Huh uh?! I'd like to drink that, Mas!”

“No need, no need,”

“How should I be pregnant? Who wants tang—“

“You seriously asked me, El? Who wants responsibility? Yes I am. I'll take responsibility. Why do you have to be so dizzy thinking that? Relax, I will be the responsibility of inner birth if indeed you are pregnant with our child,”

“But I don't want to, Mas,” whined Elvina with annoyance in her heart. Vano did not understand that she did not want to get pregnant.

“You agreed then why now it's like this?”

“I don't want to have children for long, I want to be quick. I threw that away the pill. Don't buy it again. Watch out if you buy,” said Vano while pointing at his wife while giving a sharp look.

Elvina clucked and threw her body at the edge of the bed. It is fitting that he did not find his contraceptive pill. It was thrown out by Vano.

“Udah no need to discuss that damn pill again,”

“Nak aja damn! She was useful know?! I'd like to buy some more anyway,”

“No way, Elvina. Why are you so bad for me? You know, I'm very hurt every time you drink it. Don't you want to have a child with me? Yes?”

“Iya because I ‘kan not—“

“Ya is no problem if you are not in love but already have children. ‘Kan so there are those who unite us, maybe after that you become love with me and do not want to separate from me, yes ‘kan?”

Elvina was silent and still objected to what Vano was saying. Vano wants her pregnant? They still fight often. If you have children, you can be a victim of selfishness both of them.

“Eh yes, I want to ask you something dong, answer honestly yes,”

Elvina looked at her husband who was now putting his laptop on the sofa and Vano was sitting firmly facing him.

“You followed me who met Tata ya?”

Elvina was silent confused whether to be honest or not. I don't know why Vano suddenly asked like that. “What might Mas Vano dread my story to Amih ya?” Inner Elvina who was instead staring at Vano was flat, without opening her mouth.

“Eh I asked instead ngeliatin me so. Later in love new tau tau rasa,”

“What?”

“You follow me again huh? You know that I met Tata?”

Elvina nodded her head. Looks like Vano already knows only he wants to be sure. There's no point in lying either.

“So you heard all my chat with him?”

“Hmm, why?”

“You know dong if he had—“

“Like you?” Tanya Elvina decapitated Vano's question sentence that had not been thrown until the end.

Vano nodded his head. He did want to ask about it and hope Elvina does not mind it because Tata ‘kan no longer likes it.

“Iya tau,”

“Hah? Seriously? You want to be angry?”

“Neg,”

“Ah thank goodness, because he said he did not like me anymore, El,”

“Means I don't want to trouble about it. What I'm worried about now is you and also Delila,”

“If that should not be your problem too,”

“Why? ‘Kan has clearly been caught cheating. The time of your affair can't I trouble you?”

Vano tidied up the worksheet on the front desk of the sofa where he sat down after which he closed the laptop.

“Udah ah, I want to sleep, tomorrow want to travel to Kalimantan with Papa,”

“Changing talks,” grumbling Elvina. It is clear that Vano does not want him to discuss the Vano issue with Delila.

“Because later fight. While I don't have the energy to fight, I want to rest because tomorrow is really the way after several delays, fortunately so,”

“So with Rendra to Kalimantan? How could it be a coincidence?”

“Why tanya Rendra?” Vano asked with his unfriendly face. He's still sensitive if Rendra's name comes out of his wife's mouth.

“I ‘kan just ask,”

“Cute!” The answer is not relaxed either. Vano wasn't happy that Elvina was wondering about other men, whoever it was.

“Oh I think not,”

“If not why? If so, why?”

“Ya is nothing, means tomorrow directly to the airport?”

“Hmm you take me, yes,”

Elvina nodded her head. Vano has said it repeatedly to make sure he takes Vano to the airport.

“Honey, later phone often yes. I'm gonna miss you,”

“You won't miss him? Call him,”

“I miss the one whose name is Elvina aja,”

“Halah, crocodile mouth,”

Elvina and Vano went up to the bed. As Vano was about to hug her, Elvina immediately kept her distance and pushed her husband away.

“I want to sleep!”

“I want to sleep too, who says I want to play ball?”

“Yes why do you hug me?”

“Normally so too,”

“Now I don't want to,”

“Why? I ‘kan want, El,”

“That's you, I don't want to. Later you are more than her arms embrace,”

Vano laughed because Elvina thought too far. I don't know what's in his wife's brain. He was thought to be asking for more than just a hug.

“Ya no, really just want to hug aja,”

Vano eventually manages to trap Elvina. He hugged Elvina not so tightly that Elvina was free to move.

“El, don't take any more pills huh. No security between us,”

“You sure, Mas? You can handle everything if you already have children?”

“Yakin, the boy was a blessing, he came for sure for a reason. And maybe with her presence, we can be much better, El, we can get along, and it could be a happy family,”

“Udah ah, you keep talking deh,”

******

“Breakfast first,”

Vano got off with his suitcase. Elvina called the man to hurry to the dinner table for breakfast.

“El, so take me ‘kan?”

“Iya, have often asked it is still repeated,” said Elvina while preparing breakfast for her husband.

“I go you're fine at home huh. I'll let you go anywhere,”

“Ngabarin for what? ‘And you are also no more, again far from me,”

“Yes let me know where you are, El,”

“Yes, I'll tell you if I'm going anywhere,”

“If you can, don't go with Jona. Okay?”

Elvina simply shrugged her shoulders indifferently. He just has no intention to walk with Jona. Ken was thinking there.

“Banyakin rest aja, El,”

“Who? Me? Why did you suddenly tell me to rest so much?”

“So that there is not much wandering. I'll call you often so you don't miss,”

“Udah than many sayings, mending eat deh,”

Vano chuckled as his mouth was told to stop talking by his wife. Vano told his wife to eat too.

“No, I have breakfast later, it's still early in the morning. Half six not yet,”

“Yes nothing, let's eat together with me,”

Elvina finally nodded. Vano wants to leave, so the debate should be reduced. Vano just wanted to eat with him so this time he did.

“Let's tell me if you've arrived, can ‘kan?”

Vano nodded his head directly. She was happy because Elvina said that. Rarely did Elvina do it.

“Worried I didn't come home huh?”

“Means?”

“Iya worried I'm not going home,”

“People I just asked for a message from. Why are you talking like that? Not connecting, Mas,”

“Iya deh later I'll tell you I keep taking a bath, eating, all kinds of anyway I will tell you so you don't worry,”

“Ya not all activities you also tell me. The bath time you just tell me, it is not very important, Mas,”

“Yes maybe we can take a shower together again,”

“Mandi with how?”

“So if I take a shower I'll say the same to you, keep taking a shower. Been ‘kan shower together,”

Elvina shook her head. Vano's clumsiness did not make him laugh at all while Vano was already laughing. I don't know where funny.

“You're the same Delila went crazy huh?”

*****

“Where? What changed from Daddy's house?”

“Nothing, Bun, same time,”

“Oh kirain according to you, something has changed. So long time not here,”

“Iya sorry, Bun. I like to come here but I'm afraid Mother doesn't exist,” said Elvina.

“Ah who says you don't exist? Mother almost every day is at home, El,”

“We look for breakfast outside yuk, not yet breakfast ‘kan?”

“I've been with Mas Vano, Bun,”

“Ya already made your mother breakfast ayok,”

“What do you eat, Bun?”

“We look for vegetable lontong how?”

“Mau-tiger,”

*****

The arrival of a beautiful woman to the house of Elvina and Vano made Amih surprised. Amih smiled warmly to welcome women with one batik stel dress and also high heels that wrap his feet until he looks level.

“Excuse me, sorry I wanted to ask, Vano is there?”

“Oh Pak Vano happens to be leaving again, Mba. What is necessary? Let me tell you later,”

“Lho said he was sick yesterday,”

“Ah yes but healed well. That's why he went with his father-in-law,”

“Hmm keep Mom alone here?”

“Mother Elvina again to her parents' house. What is it, huh? If there is a need to be able to convey to me later I will tell Mr. Vano or Ms. Elvina,”

“Before I take it first in the car,” he said which makes Amih frowning confused. The woman rushed to her car. He closed the car door again after picking up a fruit parcel.

He immediately went to Amih and extended the parcel of fruit to Amih. “This is for Vano,” he said.

“Who are you, Mba?”

“From me,”

“Iya I mean, whose Mba name? Let me convey to Pak Vano it's good because you know the name,”

“Delila,”

Amih was briefly silent to hear the woman mention a name that once made him feel suspicious of Vano and that name is also the cause of the recent Vano and Elvina quarrel.

He looked at the woman's goal. Think Amih, so this is Delila. Beautiful with a simple appearance but looks expensive and when viewed from his attitude Delila is a polite and warm woman.

“Mother, I'm sorry. Please just convey to Pak Vano nya,”

“Iya, later I will say, thank you and be careful on the road,”

The woman named Delila nodded her head. He smiled before finally rushing to leave the Vano residence.

Amih brought the fruit parcel into the house, he put it on the dining table. Soon he photographed it and he sent it to Vano as the owner.

- Sir, there is a fruit parcel from Mba Delila-

*****

“Halo, Mih, how's home? Safe-safe just ‘kan?”

“Aman, Mom, thank you. Mommy so stay at his papa mama's house?”

“So, Mih,”

“How are the clothes, Mom? Want to be delivered there?”

“No need, I'm the same Shena ‘there are clothes here, many of our clothes here, the name is also home that has been left, Mih,”

“Oh yes-yes, Mom. Have you eaten?”

“Udah, eh yes no guests coming? I have no promises with people,”

“There was one guest nganterin parcel fruit,”

“Oh from whom?”

“From Mba Delila, Mom. I've told Mr. Ken in the message but Mr. Vano has not read,”

“Hmm good, throw away the fruit parcels. Let one be the same. That time ‘kan he throw roasted chicken from Jona my friend. Well now just throw that parcel of fruit from his affair,”

“I just want to say, Mom. Mr. Vano does not know, later if I waste—-“

“Down, did he think at home there was no fruit? At home a lot of fruit, so do not send usha so it should. He delivered the parcel himself?”

“Iya, Mom. Mba Delila came alone earlier, I think who came, at first I was confused, I said if there is a need to convey it to me to my mother or Mr. Vano. But he loves it. As a friend want to come send parcel fruit because Pak Vano is sick yes ‘kan, Bu?”

Elvina chuckles cynically. Why do you still think positively? Once his attention came alone to the house just to deliver a parcel of fruit because it knew Vano was sick. It was really special about their relationship.

******

- Sir, there is a fruit parcel from Mba Delila-

Vano read it in his heart. He had just opened his phone and once he saw a message coming from Amih, without further ado he immediately read it. He thinks about Elvina. His mind has gone everywhere. He was afraid something had happened at home. But it turns out Amih only tells that Delila came to deliver a fruit parcel for him.

“Pa, I'm out daft yes, get some fresh air,”

“Sore-afternoon gini is good for fresh air. Don't go too far but,”

“Iya, Pa,”

Vano was already saying goodbye to his in-laws who were struggling with his iPad. He chose the lobby as his place to contact Delila. He called Delila but there was no answer.

Again he called and this time Delila answered with a sumringah. “Halo, Van. You left it turns out, not saying anything. Last said your assistant—“

“Iya let me go, sorry new ngabarin. Did you meet Elvina?”

“Hah? No more going to her parents' house,”

“Arghh shit! I forgot,”

“Where are you? Yes, yes?”

“Udah healed, yesterday just a normal pain just dizzy with fever daunted, the abs are healed. So this again goes with in-laws,”

“Oh till when?”

“It looks like if according to plan only three days aja here,”

“Same as in-laws?”

“Same sister-in-law too, the three of you are here, just guys,”

“Oh okay, careful, Van,”

“Hmm thanks, already yes,”

“Other times if you want to tell me to come at the right moment dong. There was no Elvina,”

Vano laughed at Delila's grunts that sounded upset with her across the street. “Iya sorry, forgot that she doesn't exist,”

“Okay, bye,”

After talking to Delila, Vano rushed to go back to the room. As soon as he turned around, the sound of someone's deheman made him flinch.

“Whom are you? While laughing-ketiwi so,”

Suddenly Rendra who was one of the inns with Vano, again because of a sudden coincidence was in front of Vano now with eyes squeaking suspiciously staring at Vano.

“Hah? Call my friend,”

Rendra nodded her head. Too bad he did not have time to hear what Vano was talking about, for some reason he was suspicious because he saw the clumsy Vano.

His arrival was too late. He arrived near Vano after Vano finished speaking.

“Lo why is it suddenly here? Didn't you just go to the bathroom?”

“Emang yes, but once I get out of the bathroom I don't see you in the room. I ask the same papa, keep saying papa lo again out find fresh air,”

“Iya emang, ‘kan bored in room hold,”

“Neither bored, stay lo around aja, ‘kan tuh area which is the place to stay nginap us,”

“But I'm still bored, Ren. Not good in the room,”

“People have also come out of the room mulu, from the start to the ballroom continue to eat the same looking for souvenirs,”

“Ah ribet lo mah, just comment, like me,”

Vano was upset because Rendra who seemed unhappy with the reason out of the room. Do you have to be honest if he comes out because he wants to talk to Delila? ‘Kan is impossible then.

“Come back to room,”

“This one wants to go back, who says I want to stay here,”

Rendra follows Vano's hasty ledge. “Woy, wait for napa! With us,”

Vano continued walking until finally a little boy accidentally bumped into him. The boy almost fell. Vano was actually not wrong, because the boy who ran in front of him did not see the left right.

Vano managed to catch his body until it did not fall to the floor. “Aduh, be careful, Dek,” Vano said to the boy.

A woman approached them in a hurry and as soon as she arrived in front of Vano, she immediately apologized.

“Sorry yes, Sir. My son ran around because he didn't want to eat,”

“Oh yes no nothing, fortunately not abrasive his son,”

Vano smiled at the girl with her veil that was not properly attached.

“It's really beautiful for you, but unfortunately you don't want to eat. Later it will become less beautiful. Eat yes,”

The boy nodded his head. Vano smiled and said goodbye to the boy and his mother. Rendra did the same.

Once they were a little far from the mother and child earlier, Rendra immediately mocked Vano. “Lo the way of tacitan. Finally your son got hit,”

“Lah is not my fault, he is running around, his mother's people are just sorry to me,”

“Easy is the way,”

“Males I go with lo. I've been there all the way,” expel Vano on Rendra who road next to him.

“Why did you? It was also together with mulu. Weird lo nah,”

“Ntar Elvina jealous,”

“Didih, am I a girl?! Why is he jealous of me, besides he's not in deket lo, Van. Lo if you want anything can also,”

“Whatever the hell lo?!”

Vano glanced at Rendra who was laughing with annoyed eyes. Rendra could have said that.

“Becanda aja me, but may also if you want to be all kinds. Let's get kicked by Elvina,”

“Lo also if you want to be able to, ntar lo children do not ngakuin their children. Where there are two more children,”

“Don't, ah ngadi-ngadi lo mouth when you say,”

“Lo is the same,”

“But you're actually love not the same Agatha,”

“Crazy this guy huh. She could have been so,”

“Lah ‘kan me nanya what's wrong?”

“Yes yes, don't ask,”

“What is it? Answer the dong. Ah you are not clear,”

“He loves it, Van. Nothing else is just one, just Agatha anyway,”

“Hah good,”

“Lo itself how? Lo still love same wife lo it ‘kan?”

Vano nodded his head. His head just moved without saying anything, Rendra became furious. Rendra pushed Vano's shoulder.

“The answer is yes! Don't just nag doang,”

“Nothing time don't you understand too?”

“No, your voice must also come out let me know,”

“Iya! If I don't love, I live. I love Elvina even though she may not be as good as you, I love her so much, Ren,”
