Shadow From the Past
Chapter 7
“Babay, be careful yes. Picked up by the driver? When do you dare to go home with his Febian?”
Davina glared at Arika who had just mocked her. He and Fabian were only close, if he came home with Fabian, what would his parents and brother say later? He could be tried, especially by Vano.
“Do not mention Fabian deh, later people who heard misunderstandings,”
“Emang who would misunderstand?”
“Yes if for example Mama Papa I hear how? Or my brother who heard, what will I explain to them?”
“Ya just say again pedekate,”
“Dih carelessly when talking. Danger if I say that,”
“Emang why the hell? You are forbidden to date?”
“Iya dong, Arika. I was told to learn, can't overdo it with guys, can it just,”
Accompanied by Arika who was also waiting for an invitation, Davina finally did not get confused about what to do because there were friends chatting.
“But you have a crush on Fabian?”
“Ih don't know ah. Don't talk about Fabian,”
“Cielah, who again love monkey,”
“Lo also yes,”
“But I'm done, Dav,”
“Yes yes, congratulations if so,”
Arika's gaze led to her papa car that had come to pick her up. He immediately got out of his seat and paid a farewell to his friend.
“Dav, I first yes,”
“Okay be careful,”
“Well no more talking,”
“Quiet, there is still a mobile phone,” Davina said as she blinked one of her eyes and it made Arika laugh.
“Hopefully you will not be picked up soon yes,”
“Yes, lo be careful,”
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, Bestie,”
Davina waved at Arika who walked away from her but took the time to wave before getting into the car.
Davina pulled her phone out of her pocket. And just unlocked the screen, suddenly he heard the car horn. Of course it distracts him. He didn't play the phone because he was picked up. But not picked up by the driver but Vano.
Davina opened the front seat, right next to the steering wheel and was shocked to see someone she did not know sitting in a place that used to belong to her when she was away with Vano.
Elvina immediately left the place because she felt self-aware. The chair was not the place, but rather the beautiful girl who immediately looked at him with wide eyes when she found herself sitting next to Vano.
“Hai, I'm sitting in the back. Please sit here yes,”
“Come in, Deck,”
No one told Elvina to move, including Vano. Because Vano knew his sister wouldn't mind it either, like Elvina sitting in the front. But Elvina moved on her own initiative.
As soon as Davina sat down, Davina immediately looked back, where Elvina was now sitting. “This is what you said it was?” Davina asked curiously.
Vano smiled and nodded his head. “Dek, know this Elvina, the student brother who said that,”
Elvina immediately reached out to Davina who was hesitant at first, but seeing Elvina's friendly smile, she immediately welcomed Elvina's helping hand.
“Davina, her sister Brother Vano,”
“Omay now we go yes,”
“Behold, Brother why didn't you tell me to pick me up?”
“Ya is impromptu anyway, was willing to go both with Elvina but her Elvina does not want to finally invite you, Dek,”
“Huh! I was invited because there was no other choice. If not the same me, Brother will not be able to walk with Elvina, so ‘kan means?”
“Hahahaha, that's the truth. Rather than not go ‘kan, so Brother invite you. In addition, you also want to know Elvina,”
“Udah know, ‘kan Abang already story about Elvina,”
Elvina became a good listener when the brother and sister in front of her engaged in a conversation whose topic was herself.
“Yes you already know, but ‘kan have never met directly,”
“Iya this first time,”
“Where are you going?”
“Yes whatever, I'm coming. I ‘kan only guests here, you could say mosquitoes. I'll go where Brother and Brother's girlfriend go,”
Elvina widened her eyes. Girlfriend says Davina? Oh my goodness, just like Vano not yet. How can you be a girlfriend? Davina misunderstood.
“El, where are you going?”
“I'm with Davina. Where's Davina going? Want to go to the mall?”
“Kok ask me?”
“Duh ribet yes if the name is female, where in this car there are two women. Yes, I am a nentuin brother,”
“Well, that's good,”
Accidentally Davina and Elvina compactly answered Vano. Their compactness made Vano laugh with pleasure.
“Can happen to be that, he replied. Well nothing has been done so far as you guys,”
“Elvina, now what semester should you know?”
“You ‘kan know that Elvina is more mature than you, sure you want to call her name? If you hear mama papa, you can be diomelin you know, Dav,”
Vano reminded her sister that calling an older person the sister was very good in accordance with the teachings of their parents. And all this time both Davina and herself have been used to it. But it seems like this time Davina forgot.
“Oh yes, Brother El I mean,”
“Nothing to call me a name, Dav. We ‘kan not much different. You're eleven class ‘kan?”
“Yes, El uh brother,”
“Nothing, relax. Let's get more familiar call your name,”
“But I will be romelin with Mama Papa, a new person aja Abang negur me,”
“Yes because usually you do not forget, Dek,”
“Iya sorry, Brother. People forget to be natural, masa—“
“Dav, let's be friends, call her Elvina. Oh yes, my question has not been answered you are actually in the eleventh grade? Mr. Vano said earlier you were still in eleventh grade,”
“Iya right, btw, you call my brother sir anyway? Emang Bang Vano is your father?”
“Gosh, Davina,” Vano growled because Davina's words now turned things around. Previously he admonished Davina to call Elvina with the name ‘kakak’ even though Elvina is not family, still foreign to Davina but usually Davina does not know who the person is. This time Davina's tumben forgot the teachings of her parents.
After Vano who reprimands, now replace even Davina who reprimands Elvina because Elvina called her brother with the name ‘Pak Vano’ that sounds strange in the ears of Davina who might forget that the status of her brother is a lecturer.
“Connected Mr. Vano is my lecturer, and I cannot call him by name. That's why I call you sir. Normally if you call the teacher so ‘kan?”
“Oh yes I forgot. You ‘kan still a student huh? You're my brother's student. Yeah-yes, I just remembered, sorry,”
“Nothing, I understand kok,”
“How many semester are you, El?”
“But again seven,”
“Where to teach my brother, El?”
Vano immediately glanced at Elvina from the glass in front of her. Honestly Vano was curious about Elvina's views on how to teach her. Davina's question strongly represented the curious Vano. Davina asked like that. In addition to being curious about Elvina's personal views, Vano can make Elvina's answer as a learning if there is something lacking to be improved.
“Fun, quickly understand if I think,”
“Oh yes? You're muji brother because he's here again or what?”
Elvina chuckled, Davina asked and she answered honestly. It's not that now there's Vano so he wants to praise Vano. What he said was a fact.
Vano if it has been teaching easy to understand, it is according to him. Vano's explanation is not complicated. And maybe because Vano is a young lecturer, the classroom atmosphere is so fluid because Vano teaches casually, interspersed with occasional jokes.
“If you don't believe in anything, Davina,”
“You know that Brother likes you from quite a long time, without you knowing,”
“Hmm Yes, have spoken,”
“How do you want?”
“Yes no how-how, ‘kan want to know first,”
