Shadow From the Past
Chapter 139
“Part you ribet yes. Have breakfast at the hotel. Something is easy but you are looking for something difficult. If breakfast from the hotel we do not have to search outside like this. Still quiet, no one is selling. You pretentious to make merakat deh, Mas, all to the market, already like a mother-and-a-mom,”
Elvina is in chatty mode right now. He was upset because his stomach was hungry to be filled immediately but because no one had sold around hotels and traditional markets, finally forced to postpone breakfast first.
“Yes Allah, dear, this whole thing is only half a six o'clock more, be patient. Must be a lot of sales around here, this is because it is still very early in the morning,”
“But I'm hungry tau!“
“That last night didn't feel good, El?”
“What the hell?”
“Nasi goreng that last night is no longer in the stomach?”
“Yes that was ‘kan last night, I'm hungry now. If that has passed do not remember again,”
“Wuidih, it's like the past dong,”
They decided to go to the market because it turned out that the hotel was close to the traditional market as well. The ones in the market are only vegetables and fruit. Said one of the vegetable sellers, usually soon come the food sellers. Elvina is impatient.
“What do you want later?”
“Yes what it is that I will eat,”
“There must be a lot of sales here, honey, but not yet out the sellers. Perhaps the tradition in this market is so. Sales out there are hours,”
Vano and Elvina finally waited in front of the market gate where there was a bench. While waiting for a market snack, Vano pulled out his phone.
He better send a message to Delila while waiting for the food to come. Unlike Vano who chose to play mobile phone, Elvina actually moved when only a few seconds sitting. She looked at vegetables and other food. The soul of the housewife possessed Elvina every time she came to the market.
- Del, sorry for yesterday's incident. I'm sorry on behalf of the person and Elvina-I'm sorry
“Mas, that chicken porridge has come, ketupat greens also, nasi uduk, already come tuh,” Elvina serves foods that have arrived at the market.
“Come buy, you don't hapean mulu. I'm hungry,” said Elvina nagging her husband who was still sitting staring at the phone.
“Iya-iya, this is me waking up,”
Vano immediately stood up. Then followed the footsteps of his wife who approached the chicken porridge seller.
“You want to eat porridge, Honey?”
“Yes, I want porridge, what do you want?”
“I'm the same as you,”
“I think I want to lontong vegetable, Mas,”
“No ah, I don't want vegetable porridge, chicken porridge,” he said.
Elvina and Vano immediately sat down as soon as they arrived at the porridge tent stall. And not long after that came the seller asking for the portion they wanted.
“Two servings of non-use vegetables and nuts yes, sir. Keep drinking warm tea,”
“Ready, awaited for a moment yes,”
Elvina and Vano sat quietly waiting for the arrival of their order. “Darling, I just called Delila to apologize to him, just by chat, Honey,”
“Try me see, can ‘kan?”
“By kok, look aja,”
Vano handed her phone to Elvina so Elvina could see the contents of her message to Delila.
“Oh, is this it? Nothing else?”
“Not exist, that's all, why?”
“Yes there are others,”
“Not there, just sorry,”
“You called him too?”
“Not there, just look at my call history,”
Elvina, who was originally going to return Ken's phone, did not do so because she wanted to see her husband's call history.
Vano didn't call Delila. After seeing that, Elvina returned the phone to the owner.
“I'm glad you're like this, sweetheart,”
“You mean?”
“Iya I am happy, so gini it feels envied by people who love and love us,”
The porridge of their order came and they immediately dined greedily after praying. Once tasted, it turns out the porridge is delicious.
“You didn't shop anything just now? Just see?”
“No, why shop here? Just shop at home, I'm at the hotel to cook,”
“Do not, in the hotel complacent rest only. Sleep, eat, sleep again. So it continues. You are at home already a housewife again,”
“Just after the hotel, I want to see him,”
Vano nodded his head. Elvina really wanted her meeting with Delila, and Vano could not ban. Later if he forbids, Elvina becomes misunderstood. He thought there was still something he had covered up from Elvina. But honestly he was confused about what things Elvina wanted to talk about to Delila, hopefully there was no debate.

“Honey, my shirt is less huh?”
“Yes anyway you swim in clothes, should be off clothes, even though I have brought enough clothes,”
Elvina grumbled because her husband was short of clothes because he was swimming wearing clothes, usually not so. After buying breakfast, swimming, afternoon swimming. Finally the clothes ran out, even though Elvina had brought the right amount of clothes because she had estimated.
“How to?”
“Yes already wear clothes I tuh, there is the rest of one shirt,”
“Bole by pake it?”
“Yes use only as long as you want,”
“Motif chick?”
Elvina rushes to pick it up from the suitcase and hands it over to Vano so that Vano can see firsthand what the motive is.
“Oalah only doang lines, yes I already use it. I take a shower first,”
Vano closed the bathroom door then rushed to take a shower before leaving for home. The time for staycation is up it's time to return home with a new feeling. Vano blossoms once home after the holiday with Elvina and learns of Elvina's feelings for her.
Elvina loves him, hopefully later in their home life get along well without any more debate.
******
Upon arriving home after a staycation at a hotel outside the capital, Elvina rushes to Delila's house while Vano chooses to sleep again. The man did not seem satisfied with the rest. While still on holiday, Vano used the opportunity well for a lot of rest. Tomorrow he is back to work.
“Good afternoon, Sir, Delila no yes?”
“Mba Delila is here, just got home. Want to meet?”
“Yes, I already know you ‘kan ya? I've been here before, because,”
“Oh yes, know kok, Mba Elvina ‘kan?”
Elvina smiled and nodded her head. Security at home Delila is already familiar with himself so he is safe, not much to wonder anymore. Security immediately entered allowing Elvina to enter.
“I told you Mba Delila first yes,”
“Iya, thank you yes, sir,”
“Sama-sama,”
As Elvina sat in silence, there was the sound of someone thumping. Elvina was surprised to find the whereabouts of a woman who was not so young anymore approached her.
“Halo, who is it?”
“Oh, I'm Elvina, Mom,”
“Hmm, I'm Rika, Delila's mother. What do I need here?”
Elvina seemed worried about what to answer. It seems that the only one who knows the problem is Delila while her parents do not.
“Where is delila anyway? When did I tell him that he ever deketin Ken? And keep me fighting the same Ken,”
“Elvina, how quiet is it?”
“Hmm just want to chat for a minute, Aunt,”
“Oh, yes wait a minute, he is called again. What do you want to drink?”
“Nease, Aunt, thank you in advance,”
“Ah time is not given to drink? Yes, if so drink it is up to Aunty aja yes?”
Elvina has tried to give a rejection but it's free. So he just nodded, it's up to Delila's mother to make what.
Delila's mother went back to the kitchen. He left the kitchen out of curiosity after hearing that a guest wanted to meet his daughter. So he rushed to the living room.
Delila came to the living room and immediately sat in front of Elvina who looked at her more friendly, different from the gaze when she first met Delila.
“What to talk about?”
“Previously sorry to interrupt your time. My arrival here was to apologize in person. I already know everything because Vano has explained everything to me,”
“Hmm good then, so you don't misunderstand anymore,”
“But I want to ask you,”
Delila raised her one eyebrow looking at Elvina deeply and looked in wonderfully.
“What do you want to ask?”
“You didn't really put your heart into my husband ‘ did you? Women usually easier to use feelings,”
“No, you are calm,”
“Can I trust you?”
“If you want to believe please, but if you do not want to believe also no problem. I can't make you believe in me but obviously I don't have any feelings for Vano, even though I'm comfortable being friends with him,”
“Well that's the one I'm afraid of. Are you comfortable with my husband?”
“It would be wrong if I was comfortable being friends with him? Can't do? Yes already then I will try to—“
“Please be self-aware yes, I do not want to talk much,” straightforward Elvina after that He moved from his seat now.
“I say go home first, thanks for the time, oh yes, I do not forbid anyone to be friends with Vano only it will be better to know each other's status,”
Elvina had spoken out loud at the beginning. She did not want her husband's drama to be liked by other women when he already loved Vano and did not want to lose the Vano that He had from the beginning.

“Eh, Anatha where? How come he doesn't exist?”
Vano awoke and immediately realized the absence of his wife who had previously been lying next to him shortly before he fell asleep.
Vano immediately sat down and spread his gaze around looking for the figure of his wife.
Vano to the balcony, maybe Elvina was there but it was not there, then Vano to the bathroom as well and Elvina still not found.
“Where are you, honey? I don't know if there is any,”
Vano rushes out of the room to look for his wife who may be eating or chatting with Amih downstairs.
“Mih, Elvina where?”
Vano only found Amih who was washing his hands in the kitchen sink. The woman looked over and gave an answer.
“Again he said just for a moment, Sir,”
“Oh, where? He didn't say?”
“Ngak, Sir. But I said just for a second. If Mr. Vano nanya, I told him to answer so,”
“Where ya? I didn't say it before,”
Vano rushed to the front yard of the house. Elvina came home later, and she would immediately greet him with the question of where and why to go when He was asleep, should wait for him to wake up and leave.
“Did he go to Delila's house? How do I feel that? Hadeh, if you really go there hopefully it is not a fuss. ‘And he knows everything,”
*****
Elvina got out of the car after arriving near a baking cart. He wanted to buy food before he came home.
Rangi cake is one that Elvina likes especially when eaten while still warm. But unfortunately, it is rarely seen.
“Mumpung is there, buy ah,” thought Elvina was so looking at the food.
It just so happens that buyers too. As soon as he arrived, the salesman who was reading the newspaper immediately woke up and smiled at him.
“Pak, buy ten yes,”
“Alhamdulillah a lot, Neng, only someone bought this,”
“Oh yes? Thank goodness then. I like that, sir. And rarely also meet the cake,”
“Iya is rare, Neng. Lose the same current foods,”
“But no one can replace this cake anyway, I love it,”
Elvina is also not a person who does not follow food trends. But if He can be honest, no matter how much food today He likes, nothing can match the cake.
Rangi cakes are made from sago flour or starch and also grated coconut baked without oil in a special mold. When served it is usually watered with a mixture of brown sugar and a little starch to make it thick.
Ten portions were made for Elvina. He paid immediately after which he got her into the car.
“Mas Vano I hope you like this cake, I forgot he likes it or not,”
Elvina immediately drove her car home to go home. He hopes that Vano has not woken up so as not to ask much about his departure.
Elvina plays the horn as soon as she arrives home. She saw her husband approaching her car. The car engine is not dead, Vano has knocked on the door of Elvina's car asking to be opened.
Elvina smiled after opening the car door. Vano pinched his cheek with gauntlet. “Ngapain you mainin horn?”
“Whites, are you outside?”
“Iya I'm waiting for you. Where are you from anyway? How do you know if you have gone? Not saying goodbye to me,”
“But just jerk,”
“Yes where are you?”
“I went to Delila's house, talked to her,”
“Tuh ‘kan, I expected. What is jatrobin?”
“There is, you are very curious anyway,”
“Kok don't want to be honest with me?”
“Just ask him to be aware of your status aja,”
