Shadow From the Past
Chapter 35

“Mas, I want to talk to you about something. I think it's important, but if you think it's not important, or you're not comfortable you can talk to me, Mas,”

Elvina looked at her husband hesitantly while holding together her hands which she placed on her thighs.

Elvina approached her husband who was enjoying the night on the balcony of their room while sipping coffee and snacks.

Vano straightened up his sitting position, he also stopped eating. Potato chips in hand immediately He put everything in the mouth when there is still content. He chewed for a while, after which he sipped his coffee so that his throat was safe.

“By the way, you can talk. I will be a good listener,” said Vano after he was ready to listen to his wife talk.

“Hmm.this about child. We've never discussed this before ‘kan, Mas? Yes, because you just got married too, this is just another honeymoon,”

“Okay, what do you want to say to me about my child?” Vano asked as he looked at his wife with a focused look.

“Mas, if we have children later - will not what ‘kan? Because I know myself, I'm still in college. I'm afraid I'm not focusing on both. Not focused on my education and my son's,“

“Yes no problem, have the child ‘kan should be equally ready. I don't want you to be a mom soon. I'm glad you want to focus on education first. I pray that you can finish your education well. After that, think about what the next way of life will be. You don't have to worry, I won't make you kok,”

“Don't mind? I thought Mas wanted to have a child,— actually was nervous talking about this to Vano, but Elvina felt the need to discuss it because this was not an unimportant word. He talked about this so that Vano understood that there is something He prefers now, namely completing his education first.

“No dong, I don't mind at all. You have the right to be ready or have no children. And our children will also have the right to get a good life from parents, how? Yes, his parents must be ready first to welcome his presence. Now ‘kan you are not ready, you want to focus on education, yes means do not. Instead of having children and children continue to be victims of our unpreparedness to be parents,”

Elvina smiled with a relieved feeling. Her husband seems to agree with her. For now they both think that Elvina's education is much more important. There will be time to think about the descendants.

“But if you've been given, we can't refuse ya, El. I say this as a form of just in case so you are not surprised. Because ‘kan many couples out there whose intention is not to rush to have children, uh but do not know it even quickly have children. I want to insist on you, if the child is sustenance, grace, should be accepted so well, greeted with enthusiasm regardless of the previous plan where we did not rush to have children. If you have been given, yes inevitably we have to prepare ourselves,”

Elvina nodded her head in understanding. Nor will he blame fate. If she is destined to be a mother in the near future, she will accept that fate with open arms. She will try to be ready to be the mother of her child.
