Shadow From the Past
Chapter 56

“I hate the same Mas! Because of Mas I was scolded by Mother,”

After saying so, Elvina immediately rushed out of the room leaving the inexhaustible Vano. Elvina carried her small bag containing a wallet and a cell phone. Vano clucked to see his wife's departure and he immediately called Elvina firmly.

“Elvina,”

“Where are you going?” Ask Vano.

“Don't follow me, Mas!”

Elvina did not allow her husband to follow. She looked back and looked at her husband. Knowing Elvina needs time, Vano lets her go.

Vano wonder at Elvina. Instead of being aware of her mistakes and learning to correct them, Elvina blamed her husband instead.

Elvina accused her husband of having reported to Dini about the fact that Elvina still keeps a photo of her memories with her ex-lover.

Vano himself knows nothing. After returning home from fishing, Vano rushed to his room, and he was greeted with Dini who was scolding his daughter. So Vano decided to go back downstairs. He gives a vajtu to Dimi to speak four-eyed with Elvina, and hope Vano, Elvina can open her heart to appreciate their marriage more. Actually the essence of their problem is the inability of Elvina to appreciate their marriage. If Elvina could be more worried, Elvina would not be stuck in the past, Elvina would try to return her husband's feelings rather than thinking about her ex.

All the while in the living room Vano wondered where Dini knew that Elvina still kept her photos with Rendra. Because Vano didn't report anything. Although sorry to see his wife was scolded by his mother, but Vano hopes with the country Elvina bis aberubah so better. Not being able to love is okay, as long as Vano tidka is forced to compete with his own wife's past, when the position Rendra occupies now is the position Vano should be.

Vano thought that Dinis duah oergi from Elvina's room then he went up again to the top floor, and did not snegaja meet with Dini. He was grateful for the opportunity to speak with his mother-in-law, whom He knew was worried about the marriage of He and Elvina.

After that Vano goes into the room and Ka is shocked to be directly blamed by his own wife. He was accused of a mistake he did not actually commit. If He would pass to his father-in-law, then He has done it for a long time. But he did not do that, because according to him the bad-bad in marriage does not need to reach the ears of parents let alone others. Unless it is good or what makes the heart happy, He does not hesitate to share.

******

“Where are you going?”

“You go for a minute, Bun,”

Dini squinted both eyes at Elvina who suddenly said goodbye to her in the living room. He was shocked while watching, approached by his only daughter.

Elvina wants to go. Elvina needs a fresh mind, and her heart is cooled. He will recognize her after she is well.

“Where are you?”

“There is a matter of college work at a friend's house,” said Elvina who is clearly lying. If he said he wanted to find patience, he would not be allowed by his mind.

Dini will not let her son wander obscurely while her husband is here.

“You said the same Vano?”

“Udah, Bun,”

“Ya, so be careful

Elvina kissed Dini's hand after rushing off to the online taxi

he came waiting for her.

*******

After buying a hat and perfume at a mall not far from the concert, it was time for Davina and her cousin, Vinka, to come to the concert venue.

Vinka wanted to use a hat also before, so that both use a hat but it turns out his hat is left at home, finally he invited Davina to stop by the mall first. Davina's heavy heart assures. Pity that his cousin's wish was not fulfilled even though Davina was afraid of being late. After her cousin bought a hat, Davina's feet even itching to stop at the place selling perfume. He finally took the time to stop with Vinka. Their results to the mall are hats as well as perfumes.

“We are late to the concert deh this,” said Davina Smabil walking in a hurry.

“No, just calm down. People enter at two,” replied Vinka.

Although in a hurry, Vinka can still see the atmosphere of the mall, while Davina just focus with her steps, until Vinka accidentally saw a familiar figure in her eyes.

“Eh uh! Bentar, that's your brother-in-law ‘ right? That's Elvina's sister like,”

Davina halted her steps and looked in the direction pointed by Vinka. The person appointed by Vinka had already turned and turned their back to them shfingga Davina could not recognize.

“Where the hell? You're wrongly looking at times,”

“No ah, before he turned, I saw his face again,”

“Ya may be the same face,”

“Hah time yes?”

“Yes could, you ever heard if we actually have seven twins in this world? Yes believe not believe, but I often hear so but do not know yes or no. I myself have met a girl who I think looks a lot like me, but only met once at that time,”

“No-no, it's like really Kak El deh, try it later you ask Bang Vano,”

“But Bang Vano really did not seem if that was Kak El?”

“Yes Bang Vano may not come along time yes,”

“Ah is not possible, because it is again at the home of his parents Kak El tau, Vin,”

“Iya I know, you ‘kan already told me that last night. It's just like the real Kak El deh, maybe bang Vano not come or Bang Vano is still in the parking lot of times, continued Kak El first entered the mall deh,”

“Ah where possible, Abang ‘kan always want to be with his wife, want to keep his wife afraid to run away or digondol maling times,”

“Hahahaha really mouth,”

*******

Elvina wanted to enjoy this time of solitude well. He wanted to do anything without Vano beside him. The main purpose is the mall. He went straight to the food court to fill his stomach. After that he came to his paradise most of the women are places to sell skincare and make up.

Elvina bought the serum for her face because it just happened to run out. While He was looking around, there was an incoming call from her husband and she immediately refused without further ado.

“Ribet really! Why try phone-phone!” his grunts while keeping his phone in the bag again.

Elvina could already guess what her husband would talk about if he received a call from Vano. Surely Vano will ask where is he? Who did he go with? What time is it home! That Smeua could already be thick Elvina, and Elvina would not answer him. He will make Vano worried, as a punishment for him who has reported to the Mother that He still keeps his memories with Rendra.

******

Vano clucked as his call was again rejected. Vano was worried and wondered where Elvina had gone. Honestly he doesn't believe Slvina has any college assignment.

Vano had heard from his mother-in-law that Elvina was out because of college work. And Vano isn't that easy to believe. Vano believes Elvina has lied to her mother.

Even the matter of saying goodbye Elvina lied. Elvina said that Dini had said that she was alone with Vano, when in fact Elvina just left. But in order to avoid Elvina from Early anger again, Vano itakan when Dini wonder really Elvina already say goodbye to him? Because if he answered that was honest yes that Elvina was angry with him, even accusing, there is no word that his name is saying goodbye, He believes Dinia will be angry at Elvina who is indeed this time has been outrageous.

It has been found wrong, instead of admitting wrong and contemplating the mistake while thinking how to fix it. What happens is to blame someone else and then leave.

While Vano was worried about his wife who had gone somewhere, suddenly there was a message coming in from his sister.

-bang

Vano smiled reading his sister's short message. Without waiting for a long time he replied to Davina's message.

- Why, Deck? Same with Brother? So if you meet do not like fighting, do not meet kangen ‘kan-kangen

Not long after, there was an incoming call from the same person, Davina. Vano immediately received a call from his sister.

“Halo, Bang,”

“Iya why,”

“Ih I'm not kangen same brother huh! Don't geer deh Abang,”

“Lho continues why chat-chat Brother? Same with Kek El?”

“Well that's right,”

Vano immediately snorted. He was completely replaced by his wife. Like he was not the older brother but Elvina.

“Oh is it now? So why chat brother?

Request money? How much, Dek?”

“Ih no, Bang!”

“Keep what?”

“Tadi Vinka said, she was squirming Kak El when I was with Vinka at mall X. Is it really El's going there? Same brother no? Vinka did not see Brother

“Hah? You saw Brother El there?”

“Not me, Bang, but Vinka,”

“Oh yes do you mean Brother Vinka see El there? Alone?”

“Hmm Yes,”

Instead of explaining at length and his sister was asked a lot, Vano better justify what was on his sister's mind.

“Totally?”

“Iya,”

“Ih really not the same with Kak El anyway entering? Tumben. Usually also want to be together mulu with Kak El,”

“Yes he ydha not sanaran enter first,”

“Yes if so I hang up. But Brother and Sister El do not fight ‘kam?”

“Neither, the time of battle? Brother and sister El is fine, Dek,” said Vano who does not want to make his sister worried.

“Yes is good, bye Brother,”

The phone call ended. Finally Vano knew from his sister that Elvina was in a mall. Vano immediately prepared to approach his wife. He was worried that, at least if he could not cooperate, he could take care of his wife by creating distance so that Elvina who was angry with him did not feel uncomfortable.

Vano immediately brought his phone, wallet, and car keys. He beegegas to the ground floor, apparently on the porch of his father-in-law's house just received a package belonging to his wife.

“Yeah, I went for a minute huh,”

“Oh yes be careful, come here again ‘kan?”

“Iya Insha Allah, Dad. Can you still ‘kan nginap here?”

“Ah are you saying that anyway? Yes you can, want to stay here can also,”

“Still yes, Well,”

“Sama-sama, come back here again yes, do not forget you know. Maish hasn't asked me if you're coming home now,”

“Iya, Dad. I say yes, Well, Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam, be careful yes,”

“Ready, Yeah,”

Vano immediately drove his car to the mall that had been mentioned by his sister where the sister got information from their cousin if he saw the whereabouts of Elvina.

“Hopefully meet, although it seems impossible because the mall is very spacious,” muttered Vano while driving forward the car at normal speed. He hoped that his arrival there would not be in vain. He wanted to make sure his wife was okay. Although He may not be able to get close but at least He can keep Elvina at a distance.

******

“What says Bang Vano, Dav?”

“Iya really is Brother El. Bang Vano again in the parking lot,”

“Tuh ‘kan really, but why do you want to do that? You yourself said that Bang Vano always wanted to be the same Deketan Kak El”

“That Bang Vano, Kak El udha want to rush into the mall so yes that's it, we thought there was no Bang Vano yes, and I semoat thought that you were wrong,”

“Iya turned out to be really Kak El ‘kan? Ah you don't believe it anyway. My eyes can't be wrong, it's certainly one hundred percent,”

“He who has eagle eyes,”

“Hahahaha is really bad,”

“I'm a boy so I asked Abang,”

*******

“Vano where? Kok Mommy see the car does not exist, Dad,”

Early in the afternoon to water the plants and he realized his daughter-in-law's car was not in the garage. She immediately asked her husband who might know where Vano went.

“Vano was saying go with Dad but do not know where, followed Elvina kali,”

“From when? Have you been long?”

“Pas Dad take package Mother earlier, Mother sleep,”

“Oh, taoi they haven't come home ‘kan?”

“El equals Vano? No, it's not, Bun. They're not home yet. The Vano people had brought nothing. Mostly El times, El also went ‘kan before?”

“Yes and haven't come home yet the boy,”

Early came out again to carry out his initial intention of watering the plants. Her husband was reading the newspaper in the family room.

“May they be well,”

Dini is suddenly worried about Elvina and her husband's relationship. Either it will improve or not after he spoke to his son earlier.

******

Vano is very grateful to be able to follow wherever his wife goes. He accidentally saw Elvina out of skun care and make up shopping. Vano immediately swiftly followed Elvina's steps to the clothing store.

Vano was like a stalker following his wife everywhere, but even so he was happy because he could make sure his wife was okay.

After the clothes shop, Elvina came to the ice cream stand. Vano went in there too. He bought a cup and but did not focus He enjoyed it because He preferred to observe Elvina who so far did not feel suspicious at all.

After enjoying the ice cream, Elvina rushed to the bookstore. Vano really-bsnar patiently followed his wife. I'd love to join Elvina, but it's impossible. Because most likely he will be expelled by Elvina and maybe they are arguing in the mall. Vano avoids that so it's better to be a stalker.

After buying the novel, Elvina came out of the mall. Her husband still followed a considerable distance in order to avoid Elvina's suspicion, and Vano's gestures also did not describe that he was following someone.

Shortly after passing through the mall door, Vano suddenly saw Elvina being greeted by a stranger in Vano's eyes.

Vano knew the man. How not to be aware that almost every day he saw his wife watching the photo of the man.

“Hai, El,”

“Oh hi,”

“You're alone?”

“Iya, why?”

“Eat together?”

”Oh sorry, I ate. Now want to go home,”, Elvina told Rendra who this time accidentally met him.

“I take ya?”

“No need, Rendra. I want to go home by ojek online only,”

“El, do not in front of the door gini people want to pass by, we are a bit off,” said Rendra while reaching for Elvina's arm to get away from the exit. Although the door is wide, a lot of space for others to pass by but still Rendra is afraid of their presence blocking others.

“El, I've told you before, we can be friends. You still hate me huh, El?”

Elvina resisted the urge to shout in front of Rendra's face saying that all this time she still could not forget Rendra. Elvina's eyes glared at Rendra, who was guilty.

“Sorry I hurt you, don't hate me yes,”

“You asked me not to hate you after you cheated on me and suddenly sent me off? Da? You're so selfish, Ren,”

Rendra lowered her head and sighed harshly. He looked at Elvina deeply. “I'm sorry, El. I'm really sorry. Please don't hate me anymore huh, we can ‘kan friends? I don't want us to see each other like people who don't know,”

“Lho, isn't that good? We ‘kan already no relationship anymore. So it's better to meet ya as if you don't know aja,”

Vano was still observing his wife from a distance. Although he had to hold the pain in his heart because he saw Elvina with her ex-lover, Vano chose to keep an eye on Elvina.

“Ngeliat kayak gini aja really hurt my heart, El,” Inner Vano.

Unfortunately Vano could not hear the conversation between his wife and also the ex-lover. But at least he could see that they were engaged in conversation before he finally saw Elvina leaving Rendra who looked desperate.

“What does that man mean? He already ninggalin el, hurt El by cheating but he still pretends to be good like that,”

batin Vano while overtaking Elvina with his casual steps, tidka raises anyone's suspicions, he said, including Rendra who had entered the mall but was lucky not to cross paths with Vano who might not be able to hold back his emotions when they accidentally cross paths, which is certain Vano will throw a cynical gaze, if you give him a fist, it feels impossible for Vano who wants to keep his good name in public like this.

Vano see his wife is busy with mobile phones, Vano guess Elvina wants to book an ojek online. After Elvina climbed on the motorcycle, Vano hurriedly entered the car and followed the speed of the motorbike that carried his wife.
