Shadow From the Past
Chapter 6

“Eh yes I had a photo with them, Ma,”

“Oh yes? Try Mama want to see her photo dong, Mama curious,”

“Nih I gave a show to Mama ya,”

Vano immediately pulled out his phone from his pocket and told the results of his photo with Elvina and her parents who had been stored in the gallery of his phone.

Not only was Lisa curious, but Davina was equally curious. He wanted to know how the look of the woman who managed to captivate his brother.

Some time Lisa stared at the focus on the screen of her son's phone that was displaying the photo. He was no stranger to Elvina's parents. His eyes blinked and then brought the phone screen closer to his eyes.

“Bang, this is like his best friend Papa Mama from High School. I haven't connected in a long time, ”

“Hah? Mama seriously?”

“Yes, how do they look like? What's Elvina's parent's name if Mama can know?”

“Tante Early Same Om Arman, Ma,”

“Yes Allah, yes really it's Mama Papa's best friend still in High School. Oh Allah, the world is so narrow?”

Vano and Davina widened their eyes to hear Lisa's words. A unique coincidence. Vano has feelings for Davina who turns out her parents know Vano's parents, even said Mama Vano they are friends.

“Ih Mama wants to meet them, already very upset. After graduating SMA emang never connect again, in the past ‘kan was still not the age of mobile phones. Geez, I didn't expect it,”

“Ma, really?” Ask Vano who is still in doubt. He is not sure because if it is true that way, why can the world feel so narrow? Vano, whose intention was to show a photo of Elvina's parents to her mother, was instead given the fact that they were friendly.

“Masa Mama lied anyway, Bang? Mom really, try it later ask them,”

“About Elvina knows that?” Davina looked at her brother.

“Definitely not know, Dek. My brother just knows now. Davina ‘kan has never met mom papa, squirm never before. Especially parents. They must have been really surprised,”

“Iya Mama was shocked. Wah Papa must know, if his eldest son has a crush on his son Arman, bestie him while still in school,”

“So you mean Mama, Mama Papa and her parents Elvina are in office? Save your homepage?”

“Yes, so Mama was originally the same position as her mother Elvina, we sat down for three years. Papa continues the same position as Om Arman. Well we are close to ‘kan, have eaten four of them back home from school, eating meatballs near school, so the story is like a double date that is,”

“Can both end up to the level of marriage that is yes, duh really good. Dating from the school age continues until marriage,”

“Udah have a school boyfriend? Just watch out, yeah,”

“Ih Brother what the hell the question is not clear deh,”

“Lho really is not clear, Brother ‘kan just nanya, Dek. So what's your answer, Dek?”

Davin glanced at his brother sharply. Do not know Vano, if now Davina is worried that her brother knows that he is close to someone.

“Don't date first, the right school first,”

“Meet anang first try if he still wants your macarin. Brother wants to value the person first,”

Lisa laughed at the close relationship between her two children. Trying to protect each other. The one whose sister can be possessive to her brother. And his brother was like that.

“Pak, I ask for help, do not samperin me fit on campus yes. I was afraid my friends misunderstood me. Later they thought I had an affair with Mr.”

Elvina was troubled when Vano was already in front of her. Vano suddenly called out to him who was walking in the campus parking area.

Elvina is afraid her friends see and cause misunderstandings and Elvina avoids it. All this time Elvina's life was straight, not willing to make things, looking for attention in a way that is not good.

“Lho, why? I ‘kan just want to invite you to chat, do not say anything,”

“But they can misunderstand, sir. I'm afraid they think I have an affair with my father,”

Elvina exhaled a rough breath. This Vano doesn't know that he doesn't want to be mistaken for this by anyone. With Vano chasing after him who will approach his motorcycle, other students can think of things that are not-no.

“Ya, what do you want to say?”

“Same path I yuk,”

“Street? Which way does that mean, sir?”

“Jalan—ya way where to go is up to you,” said Vano. Actually Vano just wants to spend time with Elvina. Go anywhere, it's up to Elvina. He handed the decision to Elvina.

“I don't want,”

“Why?”

“I don't want to go both ways,”

“Because it is still love with other men, Elvina seems to still close herself. His attitude was cold, yes although good,” Inner Vano while looking at Elvina with a deep gaze.

“Sorry before, but I'm afraid someone misunderstood me,”

“You said that I can get to know you and your family closer, I think one way is like this,”

Elvina was silent, it seems that he had disappointed Vano. He refused, so Vano looked disappointed because of his refusal.

“What if my sister is the same? You don't want to either? My sister wants to know you, El,”

“His brother Where is he now?”

“At school, we pick him up at his school and we go straight three ways. What do you think?”

Come to think of it, what's wrong with adding friends? Vano is a good man. And Elvina was curious about her sister Vano. Maybe they can be friends later. Elvina likes to meet new people, add acquaintances especially if you can make friends.

“Yes, come on if so,”

“How is your motor but yes? I take care of it, later you stay accept at home is nothing ‘kan? You trust me ‘kan?”

“Don't, later abis way, please just take me here again, sir. Let me go home with my bike,”

“Ya is easy. Now we go to my sister's school huh?”

“But, I'm afraid that if someone loads me in the car father, how about we meet him at the stop?”

“Lho, kok—“

“I'm afraid of other students, sir,”

“You why worry too much about the reaction of others anyway? It's up to them to respond. Don't take it dizzy, El,”

“If you want to go with me, I want to, sir, we meet at the stop,”

Vano nodded his head. Instead of Elvina changing her mind not to go with her and Davina, she better follow Elvina's request.

“But I don't have the heart you have to walk to the stop, El,”

“Not a problem, I'm happy to walk, Sir,”

“You're seriously okay?”

“It doesn't matter,”

“Lagian other students are not necessarily concerned with us,”

“Who said? They ‘kan have eyes, Sir,”

“Yes if so. Consider us again backstreet yes,”
