Shadow From the Past
Chapter 19

“Abang, we go to his house Elvina yes,”

“Siap, Mom. Brother remember,”

“Mama ingetin afraid you forgot. Later you even bring the car to the house,”

“No, this is what you were waiting for instead, Ma,”

“Hahaha can be you,”

Vano admitted that eating with him with Elvina was the thing he was waiting for so it was impossible he forgot. Since attending the show he's been thinking of Elvina. He could not wait to eat with Elvina, plus there was his mother and her mother Elvina.

“You guys if on campus a lot of interaction is not, Van?”

“Boro-boro, Mom. People don't know it when it's on campus. There is interaction but if it is related to college, Ma. Outside it never. And rarely because I ‘kan many other students anyway, so must focus on them too, it is not possible to just think of Elvina, often chat with Elvina. I have to be fair to the other students. Elvina is not comfortable either. Surely his other friends are thinking negatively about him if I'm more to him,”

“Yes, you are absolutely right. You as a lecturer must be fair to all other students. Do not doubt you have feelings for El, you so ignore your responsibilities to others. You have to be fair to everything,”

“Iya, Mother. I wish I didn't let that happen. Elvina is too. He did not want to be judged as ugly as his friends. When I want to walk the same way, willingly walk to the stop so that no one sees him getting into my car, fearing his friends to misunderstand, he said, and negative thinking about him,”

“Let's if you guys get married, they'll be really surprised yeah, Van,”

“Are you going to invite El's friends?”

“Yes if I want to stay, Ma. Just how do you deal El aja,”

“Lho, should be invited to know. ‘Kan nice wedding was known as many people, so it does not cause slander, son,”

“But since El is still a student, Ma. Maybe he didn't want to get caught in marriage. I just don't know how El will be, Ma,”

“Do not hesitate if marriage is still, let others know it is good, not nimbulin slander. So later if El is pregnant, people do not think of anything, because ‘kan previously already know if you are already married,”

Vano also wants it that way when she's married. But when he married Elvina, he remembered the nature of Elvina. Just entering the car does not want to be seen by other students.

“Abang the same Mom where, Pa?”

Davina was invited by her father to eat outside, since at home there was only Davina and Beni, Lisa and her eldest son were away.

“Condation, just now Mama talking to eat first with Aunt Early,”

“Hah? There's Elvina too?”

“Ada,”

“Ih I want to join dong, Pa,”

“Ngapain? You are the same Papa. Maybe they want to talk to you about something,”

“Something?”

“Lho, does Elvina accept her marriage invitation?”

“Yes maybe, son. Whyever not? ‘Kan El has agreed when Brother says he wants to know El and his parents further, Brother also has spoken to El's parents, Papa reckon El will consider that,”

“It's so nice to be able to eat with you, same beautiful El. Often like this, yes,”

“Sama, have not collected gini for a long time, Dini. It used to be just the two of us, or our husbands who were still girlfriends status, uh now have children, where the children have grown up. Geez, really fast time passed ya,”

“Kangen during school, yes no?”

Lisa nodded in confirming. The feeling of wanting to go back to school is there. Remembering their school days is fun, so it feels like a repeat. Unless their school days are less pleasant, they want to no longer remember what has passed.

“You are the same El often go both huh surely? Have a daughter yell yep. My road friend is usually the Davina, only she goes home school erratically because there are often additional lessons, continue to be more suitable Vano that I bring kondangan. It was really good to meet El. I am so happy to be with Vano. Without thinking direct length nyamperin,”

“If not met earlier not necessarily we eat the same-saka gini yes,” said Dini.

“Iya right,” sahut Lisa.

“Eh what's your motor, son? What obstacles? How could he suddenly die?”

“Not checked, the person who can check it has not come,”

“You're really cool, El. Girls but want to withstand the heat because the motor dies. Sit still on the motor. Aunt Gemes you saw you sitting alone on the bike, where his face was a bit tangled again,”

Elvina chuckled shut her mouth in shame because she was caught upset earlier. Who is not upset? Suddenly on the way home, the vehicle died, even though it was fine before.

“Udah wants to buy a motor with his father, he does not want to. That's his birthday bike at seventeen. There was a car at home, she didn't want to wear it either. I don't know, I'm confused about El. It's a real shame with that ugly bike,”

“Ih Mama, it's not ugly, it's still good, it's just a pain,”

Elvina did not accept when the bike was said to be ugly. He thinks it's still good. The evidence still works well until just before it ended horribly and suddenly to make him shocked and upset afterwards. Because it was a little more until the house, but the motorbike he was riding was even dead,

“Most abis this really forced Mas Arman to change motor. Because he uses a car at all. The reason can not slip if stuck, more practical. Lah his friends just on using the car kok,”

Vano looked at the woman in front of him silently, and silently grew more and more admiring of Elvina. It's not wrong that he has feelings for the woman.

“For that reason, El? Though the car was better, El,” asked Lisa to Elvina who immediately nodded her head.

“Iya, Aunt. ‘Kan if riding the motor faster, more practical. Riding a car is very nice, not dust, not hit by heat, but I think it is less practical. I like it that is not complicated. Take the car if you go with your father, I'm lazy to bring my own car,”

“Emang rather rare him. Love the heat, the abis until the house already smell of the sun,”

“Ih Mother,”

Elvina looked at her mother not accepting. While Vano and Lisa chuckle. “The girl who is like Elvina gini even makes her husband lucky to have her, seriously,” Lisa said.
