Shadow From the Past
Chapter 41

When Rendra turned around with a total of groceries, Rendra was surprised to see Elvina and the two of them spontaneously faced each other.

“Eh—hai Elvina,”

Elvina chose silence and advanced closer to the cashier ignoring Rendra who greeted him and Vano who saw it was delighted.

“Nah so dong, do not be afraid to meet the past,” Inner Vano who really feel satisfied Elvina indifferently, just a few seconds after that pretend not to know until finally Rendra rushed away with her lover.

“I'm glad you behaved like that,”

“You mean, Mas?”

“Yes, your attitude is right. Face him with your head up, not down. Because if you duck he will know you can't escape him and he can be big head. He should see you can be happy without him,“ whispered Vano as he rubbed his wife's back head and dipped it short.

Elvina turned her body to face the husband, no longer facing the cashier table.

“Mas, according to Mas, what am I selling this right?”

“Yes, you can't look pathetic, look jealous in her eyes. Because what? He can be big head, he can clap the chest because it works for women as valuable as you are difficult to move on,”

Elvina exhaled a rough breath. What Vano said was right. But when you have to pretend not to know, to be honest Elvina is very difficult. That's not what he wanted.

“Mas happy, I'm sad, Mas,”

“Why the hell, Mas? I am sad to pretend I do not know him while he is still here,” Elvina said, pointing to his heart. Vamo froze to hear the confession of his wife who turned out not from the heart to behave like this to Rendra when that was what Vano wanted. At least Elvina looks not pathetic in the eyes of her ex-lover.

“No one told you to behave like that. I was also shocked actually. But your acting is good, continue aja,”

“But I'm sad, Mas. I want to fuck her actually earlier,”

“Ya keep why don't you sell?”

“Nggak—gak know, I just act like that, I also do not know why immediately throw away his face when he hit me,”

“Ya already means that half of you want to forget him but the other half do not want,”

“I haven't been able to move on, Mas. I—“

“Iya, Elvina. I know you can't forget your past. Don't talk about it anymore. He doesn't exist either. If you want to kill him, run away now, maybe he is still in the parking lot,” said Vano who is actually half-hearted. In the depths of his heart He did not want his wife to do what He had just said. But on the other hand he was also upset to see Elvina regretting her attitude earlier when she thought it was right. What are the pleasantries for, because they are over.

Vano could see a doubtful look in Elvina's eyes. Vano's heart was scratched, especially when Elvina suddenly ran out of course with the purpose of meeting Rendra.

Vano exhaled a rough breath then shook his head while muttering “You really already judged him, El. I don't know until when I hold on to my principles that will make you fall in love with me. May I be strong to keep fighting for what we have started,”
