Shadow From the Past
Chapter 40

Elvina and Vano are done picking their hands. Now it's time for them to go to the cashier to pay for what they've chosen. But once at the cashier, it turns out there is Rendra with his partner who is waiting for their groceries to be counted in total.

Before arriving at the cashier to queue up behind Rendra, Elvina whispered to her husband. “Mas, there's Rendra at the cashier. You just pay it. I'm waiting in the car,”

Vano exhaled softly with a careless facial expression. Somehow he had to behave in front of Elvina which turned out to be difficult to give understanding. Asked to calm down, as if not concerned with the presence of Rendra, it could not be done by Elvina. As difficult as it turns out.

“El, you don't. When the hell is this?”

“I males met him, Mas. I'm missing the same look at him,”

“Yes no one told you to look at him either, El. She's busy with her own boyfriend,”

“Marriage date, Mas,”

“Indeed they're married?”

“Iya kayaknya,“

“Kok? Don't you keep stalking him? There are no pictures of her marriage?”

“Not yet,”

“Ya has just arrived. Let's not dodge,” said Vano while embracing his wife's shoulder.

“Ih Mas I don't want to go to the cashier, you just. I'm waiting in the car,”

“El, you don't. I don't want you to keep avoiding. You have to accept the fact that you are the same he is still living on the same earth so the possibility to meet yes can, yes every time you meet you avoid continuing?“

“But I haven't—“

Vano tightly embraced his wife's shoulder. He does not allow Elvina to escape to the car to avoid Rendra. But Elvina stubbornly did not want to continue her steps to the cashier.

“Not necessarily he realized there was you,”

“Ya but if she realizes how?”

“Not a problem,”

“I'm not ready, Mas,”

“Then it is not ready. If you look at each other well let each other know the feelings of each have moved on or not,”

“Yes if he's done, Mas. Me who has not, keep the same gaze he made me tormented,”

“Yes now I want to torture you, so what? So that in the future you will not be like this anymore. I tortured him once. You cannot keep avoiding. I don't want my wife to suck. Meeting the past cannot be like this response. You are female, beautiful, precious, so why should you be afraid to meet the past that you yourself said you already hurt,”

Finally Vano managed to bring his wife to the cashier and Rendra was still standing in front of the cashier table, next to Rendra there was his partner who did not come in line, but became Rendra's interlocutor while waiting for the total groceries.

Vano still embraces his wife trying to make Elvina calm and strong. He does not want his wife to continue like this. It was Rendra's fault, which hurt Rendra, so why should Elvina avoid it? Vano won't let that happen. Can't forget it doesn't matter, the most important thing is not to be afraid to meet. Because they are still the same inhabitants of the earth and the possibility to meet it is definitely there. Vano does not want it until his wife like this continues to meet with his ex-lover.

“Mas, I—“

“Sstt, we are here again waiting for the cashier to finish counting his groceries, not want to meet the angel of death, so you calm down,”

“Ih Mas,”

Vano chuckled and the voice instantly distracted Rendra and the woman. They both spontaneously turned their heads, and in that second also the eyes of Rendra and Elvina against each other.
