Shadow From the Past
Chapter 8

“You know first? Jujr yes, I was always afraid that you were close to girls,”

“Why?”

“Yes because I'm afraid my brother was taken,”

Elvina chuckled, She understood that. Because if He had a brother, He would also feel a fear similar to what Davina felt.

At the beginning Davina was warning. Lest his brother be captured, he as the only brother Vano has the right to keep Vano's affection. Accustomed to being spoiled by Vano, Davina was afraid that it could not be obtained from Vano again.

“Dav, it's ah. You're slamming,”

“Ih really digress, Bang?”

“Yes who wants to take Brother anyway, Dek?”

“Yes if you have a boyfriend that I fear, I ‘kan honest, Bang,”

“Iya I understand how you feel, Dav. If I had a brother, that would be for sure. Unfortunately I don't have a brother,”

“How many children are you?”

“One-only,”

“Wah, if you are the same Brother, Brother must take care of you really, can not get abrasions, let alone cry, danger. You see, the only child must be treated like a queen,”

“I'm just like other children, my same-round father remains firm to me, still applies the rules even though I'm an only child, still not pampered one hundred percent,”

“Iya about girls,”

Vano was happy because her sister and Elvina started to chat well, hopefully becoming familiar. He hopes the two are equally comfortable when interacting with each other.

“You don't have a boyfriend, Elvina? Surprised not to be honest about his feelings to you?”

“I happen to be single, if asked by surprise yes must be very surprised, Dav,”

Elvina just found out that it turns out Davina was easy to get acquainted with others, immediately did not hesitate to invite her to interact.

“Davina good, easy to get along with people deh kayaknya, yes even though his mouth is thin ceplos. But I like her,”

“Assalamualaikum, Ma,”

“Waalaikumsalam, wuih Papa home. Want to have lunch at home for sure?”

“Iya dong, time-empty mumpung,”

“Ntar back to the office?”

“It seems not, Ma. Uh but look later, afraid suddenly there is something Papa must finish in the office,”

Lisa is thrilled when her husband Beni returns home sooner than usual. If there is free time, Beni prefers lunch at home, but it is fairly not often because of the busy work Beni in the office.

“Davina has returned home, Ma?”

“Udah, Pa,”

“Where to? Please call, Ma. Ajakin eat with Papa if he hasn't eaten,”

“But he's not home yet,”

“Lho, where is he going now? Mama said ‘kan ”?

“Iya already, but again taught to go with his brother,”

“Oh so picked up by Vano continue to be taught to go that way, Ma?”

“Iya, same Elvina too,”

“Wah, Vano is one step ahead like, already know Elvina to her sister. Later we will reunite with Arman the same Early yes, Ma,”

“Yes Mama can't wait to see them. When is it about?”

“But we only met that one, Pa. Silaturahmi is the term, do not want to talk about the wedding held on so many dates, continue the event gini, who is invited, not that is discussed anyway, Pa. That's well later if you really want to marry them,”

“Iya but keep asking for his opinion Vano and his side Elvina first,”

“Mama is the same as Dini. Well, not long to see you later for sure if you meet again, we talk a lot, stories a lot of things. His name has also just met again after a long time. Until now Mama still did not think that Elvina was his son Dini with Arman. The world feels really narrow, Pa,”

“Abang, El, thank you for buying me a meal. You guys are so good,”

Elvina smiled warmly and nodded her head. Earlier when eating together at a restaurant, Elvina did not want to immediately let Vano pay all the bill. He wants to pay, and Vano allows it because Vano does not want Elvina to feel unappreciated. It could be that Elvina is not happy that all is paid for by him. Therefore, those who are more mature than Davina, pay the bill, and Davina who is treated alias free from the bill is very happy.

Which is usually all paid by his brother, now, there is Elvina who contributed. From there he began to judge that Elvina did not seem to be a woman that was as easy as anything paid by others.

“Elvina has prestige, and it's interesting,” so Davina's assessment earlier.

“Where to now?”

“To where make up can not, Bang?”

“Bby, El want ‘kan?”

“It's up to Davina aja,”

“But you're okay?”

“Neither, Dav, relax aja,”

“Abis it home yes, Dav. Not long there. Brother ingetin now, because you like to forget time,”

“Iya, Brother. Relax I will not forget the time,”

“Ya come on, El,”

Davina immediately grabbed Elvina's arm and they walked in front of Vano who felt his decision to invite Davina to go with him and Elvina seemed inappropriate. Because what? Elvina interacts more often with Davina, rather than with her. Close to Davina, too, compared to the one who feels like their bodyguard right now.

“When the mascerine is together, will you?”

“Iya can, next time yes,”

“If you are the same brother, yes it must be easy we are mascaran together, unless you are not a match,”

“Dav, can I ask you something?”

“Bby dong, want to ask what?”

“Emang Mr Vano ever tell you about me?”

“By it,”

“What's reported?”

“Quiet, not the ugly really, even good all that Brother tells about you. You know, I've been cleaning up with you. Until I was upset it felt. And you as the washed man Brother, do not mess around! Never hurt my brother. He was the only brother I had. I've never talked to him, but you should know, I love my brother very much yes even though he sometimes mutebelin, but I love. He's kind, considerate, always trying whatever I want to be fulfilled, but he likes to bummer. Nullify people. For example yes, I'm watching again, uh he suddenly popped my ears, where I watch horror, yes I automatically scream. That's just an example of her pranks,”

Elvina laughed at the lecturer's sister's words. Davina blatantly admits that she loves her brother but sometimes that brother is also ignorant, so likes to upset him.

Elvina was a little incredulous to hear that her lecturer was ignorant. It turns out that he can also be the youngest lecturer at the campus.

“Emang lecturer can be ignorant huh?”

“It can be, El. All this time he has never been so if in class?”

“If ignorant or nosy that never, but joking often, ‘kan so that the class is not boring,”

“Oh she is liquid if in class?”

“Iya really, so it is not rigid to learn, not quickly bored as well. If I think even your brother's explanation is easy to understand,”

“Eh later if you become the same him, get ready dehusilin. You ‘kan all this time live as an only child, surely no one has ever been ignorant to you. Well if you marry Vano, you think you will menggerasain it deh. You see he went to his sister so, to the couple too I think,”

“Duh, who will marry your brother? Why so far is the chatter?” Inner Elvina while scratching her temple that is not itchy actually but she is confused why the topic of their chat has been to the wedding alone, but He alone has no taste of anything on Vano.
