Shadow From the Past
Chapter 148

Vano was still upset by Elvina's words, which seemed to tell him to look for another woman who could give him offspring.

Vano couldn't have done that. He wants to live with Elvina until her life breaks from her body. If He wants to find another just for the sake of the child, He has done since the beginning Elvina does not love him. Now they love each other and Vano hopes to be like that forever, even though they are not presented with a child, Vano does not matter at all even though he admits that the desire to have children is so great.

Vano will stay with Elvina no matter what. Still not even two years old, Elvina has spoken like that. What if they have been married over five years then have not been blessed with children as well, chances are Elvina will find a mate for him.

Now his talk is already there, but only a while ago he almost killed himself for not accepting Ken betrayed him.

“Ngot done think I'm with Elvina, directly badmood for work now,”

Finally the man was dizzy himself remembering his conversation with his wife before he left for work.

“She must be so satisfied I made a mess this morning,”

Extremely upset with Elvina, Vano even finished his breakfast quickly then went to work without saying goodbye to Elvina and the woman finally protested.

“Mas, don't you want to say goodbye first? How do you go straight away? Are you upset with me? I ‘kan just want to know if you want to stay with me if I can not have children? Are you not inferior? All your friends have children and you don't have them yet. So I ask, do you have a desire for each other or not? Aja—“

“No need to speak anymore, Elvina, I don't want to hear,” Vano said straightforwardly and coldly then he just left his wife who curled her lips down and exhaled her violently.

Elvina was actually too afraid that Ken would leave her to have another daughter because she herself as Vano's wife was unable to give children.

Seeing Vano who was so hoping to have children soon, Elvina was always made afraid to make Vano disappointed if the testpack check results were not as expected. Although Vano said he was not disappointed and would accept whatever the result, but still there was a bad taste in Elvina's heart because it again made the husband feel disappointed. Vano did say it doesn't matter if not given a child, but in his heart he must be disappointed every time the line in the testpack there is only one.

*****

Vano came home sooner than usual and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he was immediately greeted with a car that He did not know who the owner was.

Then Vano got out of the car and into the house. He was greeted by Elvina who was talking to a man who was none other than Jona. In the middle of them, on the table was an invitation.

“Vano, Jona invited us to her parents' anniversary, this is invitation—“

“Oh, when?”

Not yet had Elvina to finish her speech, Vano had asked such a question while he received a helping hand from Jona.

“Gue back yes, El,”

“Yes, be careful, Jon. God willing I same Vano can come,”

“Okay, thanks yes,”

“Van I'm back first, thanks yes,”

Vano smiled faintly and nodded his head. Jona doesn't feel good for long at Elvina and Vano's house. He came to give me an invitation. Not forgetting, He still remembered how cynical Vano looked when he knew He had come to pick Elvina up because they wanted to go for a walk, and Elvina also once said that Vano is the type of person who likes to be jealous.

Her mother still remembers the kindness of Elvina who was a picker of Jona gifts for her mother, then Elvina also visited Jona's mother. It was Elvina's kindness that made her want to continue to involve Elvina in every event that she did.

“Nih. The age of marriage is forty years. Very good yes, Mas. I guess we can be so no, yeah,”

“Can, that's what I've been praying all this time,”

Vano will move to the room but his arm is blocked by the wife. Elvina looked at her husband's face.

“Your face why? Round and round tangles,”

“Capek,”

“No jealousy ‘kan?“

“At first yes, but when I knew he was inviting I wasn't jealous. It's crazy that I'm jealous just because he came to give you an invitation. Unless he comes to make you walk, or food loving mode,”

“Eh if people love food it should be grateful dong, Mas, spelled out mode anyway,”

“Yes according to me she's mode, babe,”

“No dong, he kindly love food to me, he is not tau mode,”

“She ‘kan ex you tuh,”

“Ya keep why?”

“Kayaknya still hope to return with you, that time yes, if now anyway do not know,”

“Oh if that time is yes, but now he already has a girlfriend, do not just say you know, he is not single anymore,”

“You know where you are from?”

“She's story to me, Mas,”

“Seriously? What did he tell you?”

“Yes, he said that he deket same girl, keep pedekate first for some time, after that I got word that he was the same girl was dating, already dating, I can't wait to see him get married. He used to love to spread the charm of girls, but now it looks like the truth has changed yes, hopefully the same now until the stage of marriage,”

“You're the spirit he wants to marry ya?”

Vano climbed one by one the steps followed by his wife behind him. Vano wanted to take a break but couldn't because he hadn't taken a shower. I don't know why his body is all sore.

“You look so lethargic like him. Really tired huh?”

“Iya, in the sore all my body, about why yes?”

“It's the same, I've been since, Ken,”

“Same, mate means,”

Vano took off her work clothes and rushed into the bathroom while Elvina picked up the clothes that her husband would wear after he took a bath.

“Mas, after the bath you want to drink warm tea? I'll make it if you want,”

“No, uh yes,”

Elvina clucked softly because of her husband's uncertain answer. “So want or not?” Ask the woman to make sure.

“Iya want, Ma, please make yes,”

“Okay, I'll take it to the room later,”

“Keep let alone?”

“Hmm omelet deh,”

“Telur did not equal rice?”

“Ngak, El,”

“Yes I made ya,”

Elvina immediately rushed out of the room after becoming a servant to her husband. Preparing the clothes, it's time to prepare a dish that Vano can eat later if he has finished cleaning his body.

Elvina made an omelet first. After that, just take the tea and sugar directly put into a cup and then He poured hot water.

“Bu, for whom?“

When you get out of the kitchen, Elvina accidentally meets Amih who is confused to see Elvina carrying a tray with a plate containing an omelet and also a cup of tea whose steam is still out of the cup.

“Make Vano, Mih,”

“That's not the same egg rice, ma'am?”

“He does not want,”

“Pak Vano cravings yes, Bu?”

Elvina chuckled at Amih's innocent question but it sounded very curious.

“Then did cravings? Yes, he's tired again, Mih, keep asking for this deh,”

“Oalah, I guess again cravings, Mom, yes already, I just take it now to the room. Probably been waiting for,”

“Okay, I ride first yes, Mih,”

“Iya, Mom. I'm the one who brought it, Mom, I'm afraid Mother has a hard time climbing her stairs,”

“Not hard, I can,”

“Slow down, Mom,”

Amih drove Elvina up to the top floor because she was too worried Elvina there was an obstacle when carrying the tray containing food and hot drinks.

After opening the door of the master's room and Elvina entered the room, Amih was then recognized to the ground floor.

“Mas, this is it, you are still a long time?”

“No, I'm soaking first, but it's just finished again,”

“Ya already hunted, do not be long, later if it is cold no longer tasty, you know,”

“Iya, darling, this is me back and forth kok,” he said.

Elvina chose to lie on the bed to rest her body which also felt sore since earlier.

Vano came out of the bathroom with a fresh body. He immediately put on clothes after that sitting on the sofa facing the window and balcony to enjoy the view as well as an omelet and warm tea made by the wife.

“Honey, here, we chat yuk,”

Elvina immediately got out of bed. Though it was lazy to get out of bed but her husband wanted to invite her to talk.

“Iya, why?”

“So when is Jona's parents' anniversary event?”

“This week anyway, you want to come?”

“Yes if you come, I come too,”

“I think it will come, God willing if there is no obstacle,” said Elvina while leaning her body onto the sofa while rubbing her waist.

“My body is also on aches,”

“Sama ya kayak me, want me balurin oil no?”

“Later if you want to sleep,”

“Emang why are you so sore? Tiredness?”

“No idea why,”

“Thus why hold the stomach too?”

“Acts of pain,”

Elvina chuckled while rubbing her lower abdomen. Vano frowned curiously.

“Why, Honey? Want to come month time huh?”

“Iya possible,”

“Or pregnant?”

“No! Ih you screw it in that direction keep going, I don't want!”

“Hmm? Don't want what?”

Vano misunderstood. He thought Elvina did not want to get pregnant again, as before who was reluctant to carry her child because she did not love him to the point of taking contraceptive pills.

“Yes don't want to talk about that,”

“Oh, I don't think I want anything,”

“Emang what? What do you think I don't want?”

“No longer want to get pregnant,”

“If I don't want to get pregnant again, I've taken another pill. Don't forget that I don't drink anymore,”

“Iya I did not forget. I'm glad you want my will,”

“But in fact after I got away from it, I still don't have,”

“Iya not yet time, dear. Patience, if you say God we will have children, it means just wait for the right time, but even if I do not have any problems at all. I'm not inferior to my friends who already have children, I'm relaxed. The child ‘kan daycare, yes if God does not love the trust to us to have children, do not need to be a burden. Many couples who have not had children, or even have no children at all but they can still live happily, we can also, darling,”

“But you ‘kan already really keen ya,”

“Pengen does not mean maksa. I if you want yes do not have to have, from my small principle I so aja, I want something nih, but do not have to have, so it does not load in my brain,”

“Same difference I dong. I am if I want anything hard. Feel like you have to. It really can't be yes, selfish name. But I'm the kind of person I'm,”

Vano smiled and he gently ruffled the hair of the wife who had just said such a stark difference between Elvina herself and her husband. But Vano doesn't matter, the difference in marriage is a very natural thing to happen.

“You didn't? A delicious omelet without rice,”

Vano took out a small plate containing an omelet made by his wife. Then he offered to Elvina who immediately shook her head.

“Enak, El, because the eggs are still warm,”

“Ngak ah, make you aja,”

“Emang why? Usually you like, Honey,”

“No, fishy smell,”

“Lah reasonable, the name is also egg, if yam you say fishy smell tuh new strange,”

“Ken, don't accidentally get whipped into my nose,”

Elvina scolded Vano who was still closing the plate towards Elvina. Though Elvina has said that she does not want to, aka reject the offer of the husband.

“Udah you ate alone,”

“Do not want?”

Elvina nodded, and Vano immediately ate the omelet greedily until it soon ran out.

Vano was surprised once Elvina suddenly stood perfectly from the sofa and ran to the bathroom while covering her mouth with both hands.

The sound of Elvina being nauseous in the bathroom instantly made Vano rush over with worry.

“Darling, you why?”

“Because of the smell of eggs,”

“Hah? You serious? Yes Allah, sorry-sorry,”

Vano immediately massaged the nape of Elvina who was bending in front of the sink to remove her entrails.

Vano immediately felt guilty because he had offered an egg to Elvina even seemed forced too so that his intention could eat together. But it turns out Elvina really did not like the smell of the egg until finally vomiting.

But what makes Vano confused is, all this time Elvina never fuss about the smell of eggs. It's only now and it's very strange according to Vano.

“Kok tumben you protest about the fishy smell of eggs? The cook was fine ‘kan?”

“Yes, but if you take the plate earlier, I'm instantly nauseous,”

“Yes, sorry yes, Darling,”

“Yes it's okay, but don't repeat it again, if I say don't want it means don't want, don't bargain again,”

“Okay, I'm sorry, honey, didn't mean to make you nauseous like this,”

“Yes, I get it, it's okay,”

Elvina was feeling better so she could understand Vano's words. A moment later Elvina looked down and pulled out her stomach.

“Aduh, really nauseous ya,”

“Any, El, usually you do not get this way, just because of the egg though. You have often cooked, even like the same thing as eggs, but now even nausea yes, darling,”

After no more urgently wanted to be expelled, Elvina immediately washed her mouth with water and then she came out of the bathroom with her husband who was really anxious about her condition.

“Rest yes, do you want to drink warm tea? Let the nausea go,”

“No, I don't want anything, Ken,”

Vano gently lifted the legs of the wife who was still dangling to the floor, then he placed them on the bed in a straight position.

He brought some water to Elvina who immediately shook her head in refusal. “Come drink first, let—“

“No, I don't want to drink anything,”

Vano sighed softly. Elvina when she's in stubborn mode sucks. Though to keep his mouth clean, after vomiting earlier, Vano wanted his wife to drink.

Vano took the initiative to spread aromatherapy oil on the stomach, front neck, and nape of Elvina. Then he also smeared it on Elvina's forehead.

“Rest, Darling. You look like a tired and catch a cold,”

“Emang again want to fall aja this,”

“Iya hence rest, do not do anything first yes,”

“Okay,”

Elvina closed her eyes for a short break while her husband bent his knees and rested them on the floor. He was right next to his wife.

“Honey, if there is anything, please directly tell me yes,”

“Iya,”

“If there is anything you need, and you feel pain in the body, you immediately tell me, so we go straight to the hospital. I'm really worried that suddenly you are nauseous like that, even though you were okay before,”

“Casual, Mas, I'm fine,”

“Yes how can I relax, darling? You don't usually look like this. Just because the smell of your eggs instantly nausea, but cooking time is okay ‘kan?”

Elvina nodded her head and went back to say that her body was currently wanting to fall, the real cause was not the egg.

Elvina chuckled to see Vano staring at her with a worried frown. Elvina pushed Vano's face with her index finger.

“You're panicking, relax,”

“No, I'm thinking,”

“Think what?”

“Are you pregnant, Darling?”

“Mas, don't start yes. A little about getting pregnant, I'm bored ah,”

“Yes, you are so weird, El. I usually never feel nauseous because of the eggs. Did you catch a cold again? Not because of anything else,”

“Yes for catching wind and it's time to get sick again, Mas. Don't think too much,”

Vano shook his head slowly. He still could not stop thinking about the various causes that made Elvina feel nauseous.

“We check yes, let it be clear,”

“Vano don't make me feel more guilty, with you who constantly think I'm pregnant, or ask me to check, I feel guilty with you,”

“Lho, why?”

“Yes because it's a sign that you really hope to have a child from me but unfortunately I can not love, you understand? Don't tell me to check or this is it, I don't want, later the edges are made disappointed,” said Elvina and unconsciously her tears flowed into the cheeks and it made Vano gasp.
