Shadow From the Past
Chapter 52

“Mas, I want to go to Mother's Father's house later tonight, do not stay there?”

“Bby dong. ‘And finished the test,”

“Yeayy thanks, Mas,”

“Iya equally,”

Vano rubbed the top of the head of the wife who just had a request to go to her parents' house. It turns out that Elvina misses her and her mother. As long as they were married, they had never come to stay. At least just take off Elvina's longing.

“You nginao how many nights there?”

“As of you, Mas. How many nights can it be?”

“Hmm is up to you,”

“Two nights can not?”

“Boleh, I don't mind at all,” said Vamo who made Elvina smile happily.

“Yeayy I miss very much Mother's father, already miss the same room I,”

Because today the last test Elvina is finished and the next two days are indeed the weekend so according to Vano there is no harm in staying at the house of in-laws, let's just say staycation.

“But Daddy Mommy doesn't mind ‘kan my gig?”

“Means I object how?”

“Can I nginap?”

“Yes, yes time can not, Mas? Must be dong. They often ask you, Mom. They also often tell me that you're talking to me. I just said I haven't had time,”

“Yes we've been there tonight. It's up to you to catch how long,”

“If it hits me, how do you want to teach, Mas?”

“Ya ‘kan can take clothes and others at home first, just finished it to campus, and,” said Vano to his wife who was worried that they were longer than two nights even troublesome her husband who had to carry out his duties as a lecturer.

“No, Mas. Just two nights,”

“Ya is up to you,” said Vano.

“But at night, Mom? I ‘kan want to nyiapin clothes first,”

“Iya can,”

“Mas, I want to make instant noodles later fit until home, Mas want not?”

“Mau,”

“Okay together yes,”

“I only made, you ‘kan again want to nyiapin clothes,”

“Nothing, Mas. Relax, I can cook noodles first deh abis it ready clothes,”

Vano's car managed to arrive home safely. They got out of the car. Elvina walked first while Vano took her laptop and bag in the back seat and locked the car door and then walked after Elvina who was immediately greeted by Davina.

“Back,“

“Eh Davina, why are you hugging me? What's up, Dav?”

“Nothing, fear of missing,”

“Lho where are you going? How about that?” Elvina asked as she let go of their arms and she held onto the shoulders of Davina who had just spoken as if to code that she was leaving.

“I want to stay at cousin's house, sister. Two nights only. Tonight's the same tomorrow night. Don't miss me yes,” Davina said as she lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

“Hah? Really?“

“Yes, it's okay ‘kan?”

“Ya. Fine yes, don't forget me yes,”

“Hahahah yes jali I forgot there Brother El, vinegar bentar doang anyways, Brother,”

“Yes, be careful if so,”

“Don't be sad about his face. You yourself ‘kan will also nginap,” entertain Vano who can see that his wife is sad after knowing his sister-in-law will stay overnight. Who usually became friends at home, as I met, for all the time there was no meeting first between the two.

“Lho, where are Kak El sama Brother going? Want to know where I mean?”

“At my Father's house my Mother, Dav,”

“Oh that, yes already safe staycation at home yourself yes, Brother. Don't forget me too yeah,”

“Ngak dong, where may I forget you,”

Elvina swiped her little sister's chin and took a wink in one of her eyes. “Ya I want to get ready first,”

“Okay, welcome to get ready,”

Davina rushed to her room as well as Vano and Elvina who just put the bag at once change clothes it was immediately down again to the bottom floor because they wanted to make instant noodles.

Not until twenty minutes Elvina returned to the room with a tray on which there were two bowls of noodle soup plus eggs.

“Mas, this is her noodles,”

“Still yes,”

“Sama-sama, Mas,”

Vano immediately took over the tray held by his wife and he brought it to the table in the corner of the room.

“We should eat under aja, you did not say you want to take this to the room. It's ‘kan hot, El. Danger if spilled hit you,”

“Safe, Mas,”

“Lain times don't be so. We can eat at the dinner table or you can talk to me,”

“Iya, Mas,”

“Eat where are we?”

“Balkon yuk, Mas, L

“But hot, it's still eleven hours because,”

“Oh yes. Okay, not on the balcony, on the sofa in the room just right,”

His intention was to eat on the balcony, but true Vano said outside the blazing sun was still quite disturbing.

So they finally decided to eat on the sofa of the room facing the table. There is nothing more delicious than enjoying a meal with a partner, at home, even with instant noodles but it feels very happy. Vano did not know that after marriage, this simple thing alone can bring happiness in his heart.

“Mas, we're only eleven o'clock after lunch, use noodles again,”

“Nnothing, if you are hungry amsa you are detained until lunch time, anyways dmang already restless when we used to eat lunch.”

“Mama Papa in Bali so until the day after, Mas?”

“Yes, no change yet. If change of plans definitely ngabarin me,”

“No good yes if there is no Mama Papa, plus Davina will go nginap, Mas,”

“Iya but we ‘kan want to nginap too,”

“Iya really, but quiet so if for example tomorrow we go home first from Mama Papa with Davina,”

“We ‘kan two nights, El. Yes means not tomorrow ‘kan go home?”

“Eh yes, I just remembered, Mas,”

“Tonight is the same tomorrow night. Yes, it means he's not home tomorrow. Day after homenew home,”

“Iya, Mas,”

“But if you want more is okay,”

“Ngak, Mom. Bener the day after morning. That's Abis we're shopping monthly huh, Mas. Can I not?”

“Can, what the hell can not make my own wife?”

Elvina smiled at Vano. It's been as good, as careful, as handsome and as good as that, but still He still can't love Vano. Until he himself was confused.

They enjoy instant noodles until they run out unceremoniously. Because it may rarely eat instant noodles, so after eating, it feels a loss if the bowl does not get completely empty.

“Mas, we can't do anything every two days so eat noodles. ‘Kan noodles are really good, Mas,”

“The instant-instant food is actually not good for health. But if the taste problem, it is often the instant that is much more delicious than the instant,”

“Iya. Instant, cheap, delicious, who doesn't like it,”

“Still, Mas,”

Elvina who had wanted to wash the bowl, spoon, and glass but was forbidden by her husband.

Finally Elvina decided to sit for a while waiting for her stomach to go down, then she rushed to prepare clothes to stay at her parents' house.

In the midst of his busy life choosing clothes, his phone vibrated and there was an incoming call from his mother-in-law. Without waiting for a long time he answered the call.

“Assalamualaikum, Ma,”

“Waalaikumsalam, Darling. How's testing? Are you done?”

“Udah, Mom. I'm home, Alhamdulillah,”

“Alhamdulillah smooth test?”

“Iya smoothly, Ma. Oh yes Ma I want permission from Mama. I'm the same Mas Vano would like to stay at the mother's father's house can't you? Two nights of the plan, Ma,”

“Yes amlun, can dong, son. How many times there can be. Mama's happy you guys got there. Surely Mother's Father has been very upset especially with you,”

“Iya I also miss so much that I want to nginap,”

“Davina you also stayed at the cousin's house. The house is empty hahaha. On searching all. We will meet again Insha Allah yes,”

“Yes, Mama Papa be careful yes,”

“You guys are there too,”

“Iya, Ma,”

“Vano where?”

“Again under nyuci used bowl eating noodles, Ma. We both abis eating noodles,”

“Oalah hahaha nice deh independent yes, no ngandelin wife aja,”

“So want me to be pure eh even banned. Finally yes I have prepared a shirt for nginap,”

“Greetings to your father yes, son,”

“Iya nani I say, Ma,”

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam,”

Coinciding with the end of the phone connection between Elvina and Lisa, Vano suddenly entered the room.

“Phone Mama? Four twisters from outside,”

“Mama call me, Mas. I already told Mama that we want to stay at the house of your father and Mama mayin,”

“Yes for sure, Mama can't possibly ban you. Precisely Mama happy because it's a sign we don't forget our parents, still perfect nginap,”

“Iya, Mas,”

“Some I can help you with? I'm done with the washing,”

“Mas raw highly. Is there anything I can help you with? Like that customer service, Mas,”

Vano and Elvina both laughed. Elvina was very smart to imitate her husband when she spoke earlier. Come to think of it as exactly customer service.

“I if for example there is an obstacle like something, I call customer service well say it like Mas that, exactly. Did you work as customer service, Mom? The student who did not lose the lecture. Love the solution to the problems reported, continue to be the target of frequent customer scolding yes, Mas,”

“I have never worked as customer service, I know you ah,”

Vano pulled the tip of his wife's nose and laughed. Elvina's guess was wrong. She thought her husband had experience working in this field.

“I think you have, Mas. Because Mas exactly was pas by the way there is something I can help?”

“Tang-tangs similar directly spelled out ever worked there huh? That's amazing, Elvina. Origin of nebak with pedenya.”

“Hahahaha I'm sorry. But the face-face like Mas emang fit anyway so part of the service that, because it is pleasing to the eye, friendly also ‘kan,”

“My email is friendly? Do I look good in the eyes? I ‘kan instead of food,”

“Yes Mas is not food, Mas tuh man who looks amazing,”

“It can be aja,”

“Sih, don't believe?”

“I'm regular,”

“This is my help tata in the bag,”

Elvina had finished choosing clothes, and Vano took the initiative to arrange them in a suitcase.

“Mas can not? Ntar is not neat if Mas yanh nata,”

“Rapi please, relax. I can be taken later see,”

“I'm aja, Mas. Don't Mas, mending Mas take a break, rather than help me,”

“Rest continues,”

“Well, where do we rest from? That's right, work continues. Mas ‘kan abis home from campus mingingingan break,”

“You also just returned from campus, just like I should you also rest,”

“I'm not tired ya, Mas,”

“I'm not tired either,”

“Eh but we just ate, sleep aja, anyways jerk again want adzan,”

“Well yes,”

The sound of knocking on the door made Elvina immediately rush over to the door. Elvina was going to take the toiletries but she abandoned her intention because she had to meet the person who had knocked on the door of her room.

“Hai, Brother,”

“Hai, Dav, why, Darling?”

“I can ask for help?”

“Ask what please? If I can I help you,”

“Please choose which one is suitable I take away,”

Davina immediately showed the two clothes behind her back to her sister-in-law. He asked for help in choosing which one was suitable for him to take away.

“Ah Davina spoiled. Usually also good at choosing clothes, now already have a brother, so often ask for help to brother deh,” said Vano teasing his sister who immediately threw a cynical look.

“Emang why the hell, handsome brother? I ‘kan ask for help with Brother El, not with Brother,”

“Cie manua, cie need to have sister,”

“Whispering ah, chatty people not invited,”

Vano chuckled hearing his sister grumble. Then Davina looked back at Elvina.

“Which according to Sister?”

“Hmm this shirt to go yes?”

“Iya let's watch the concert tomorrow,”

“Oh make ngonser turned out. What concert if I could know?”

“Boyband korea that I like dong, sister. Their identical color is blue. That's why I want the shades of blue,”

“Oh you are confused between oversized t-shirts or short-sleeved hoodie yes means?” Elvina asked after seeing the two clothes that had been brought by her younger sister and she was asked to please choose.

“I said I was an oversized t-shirt, all I give advice to his subordinates using a nice boyfriend jeans anyway. Simple but cool, oh yeah don't forget to wear a hat bucket,”

“Ah thank you so much for your advice, Brother!”

Davina said terimakaish while hugging Elvina for a while after that Davina returned to her room again.

“Dek, don't forget the sneakers sneakers aja,”

Elvina did not finish giving advice but Davina who was already happy just to leave, fortunately Davina still heard the last suggestion from Elvina.

“Okay thanks, Brother,”

“Iya equally,”
