Shadow From the Past
Chapter 9

“Abang wait outside aja yes? When you're done, call brother,”

“Ih why don't you want to enter?”

“Well, is it not strange that you enter the place of make up? Strange times, Deck. My brother doesn't fit in there. Ask the girls as far as your eyes can see. So that's why you're out there, don't want to go in that store,”

“Abang want to find ice cream also deh again want that because,”

“Ya is there,”

“Nih to pay, afraid that Brother has not returned and you have finished shopping,” said Vano while handing over his wallet to his sister. Davina accepted with a smile.

“Duh, this windfall mah, I'm free to buy anything, Bang?”

“According to you? Good not if the actual shopping is not needed?”

“Erghh, really nice. The lecture mode is back. Her good brother mode is gone. Yes, I'm in first,”

Vano chuckled watching his sister grumble. Although He gave the trust to hold his wallet, Davina had to know the limits. Not because he is stingy, but Davina must be able to buy what is needed, not everything is bought. Their parents teach them that way too.

“Yes we've entered, justin aja Brother go find ice cream,”

“Pak Vano sure do not want to come in?”

“Ngak, El. Better me outside, look for other activities than follow you guys choose skincare, can follow my dizziness,”

“But I don't want to buy anything actually,”

“Udah is okay let's just go in. There must be something you destiny. Come on in, don't think brother,”

Davina immediately grabbed the arm of Elvina invites Elvina to enter one of the places like heaven for women. There is make up, complete skin care. If you go in there, the inn wants to buy everything. So when he got his brother's wallet, Davina immediately beamed. But after being reminded not to overdo shopping, he was made aware.

“Dav, what do you want to buy?”

“It just so happens that my serum will run out, keep on masking me too, and—-oh yes micellar water I also have a little leftover,”

“You make up every day when you go to school?”

“No, only use sunscreen, moisturizer, body lotion, lip balm, perfume. That's it anyway, if you?”

“Iya equals,”

“Later teach me to make up yes. You can ‘kan? I can, but I'm not good. People learn from these videos on social media. Keep trying in front of me, sometimes the results are not the same as in the video anyway? Are you not that too?”

Elvina smiled at Davina's outpouring of heart. It turned out to be fun to also be this close to Davina. Their conversation may be connected because of age is not much different. Davina's complaint is just like her who likes to feel strange as well why the results of her makeup is not as good as the results of the people's makeup in the video she watched. Sometimes, being too confident or sure can have makeup results as good as those video content creators but it turns out to be disappointing.

“Ajarin yes,”

“I'm not good either, Dav. Just like you, like to be disappointed with your own expectations. Hahaha,”

“He is the same? Are you not good at make up? ‘And you are already more above me now, surely more can,”

“But the reality of age does not determine smart or ngaknya we make up. Moreover, I can be said not to make up too often, most if there is only an event, or again kepengen really. Because not too often, finally clumsy if you already hold make up, and not jago-jago,”

“Yes it's okay, I accept you for who you are. You are beautiful even without make up,”

“Pak Vano, I ask for help, take me to campus yes, sir. I'd like to grab my motor,”

“You sure? Later I ask for help to bring your motorcycle to the house, now I take you directly to the house, do not need to go to campus, El,”

“Ya then you want. Then we go to campus?”

“Iya, Sir,”

“Emang why do not want to be delivered directly to home? Time to campus again,” said Davina who if there is in the position of Elvina wants it must be directly delivered to the house. Because what? No more getting tired of driving to home. Can take a break.

“Soalnya do not want ngerepotin. Also go home by motorbike,”

“Nerepotin at all actually, El. You don't talk like that, just relax,”

“Nothing, Sir. I want to go home by motorbike,”

“Okay, be careful yes. Sorry if there is something less pleasing in your heart as long as we were together,” said Vano while glancing at Elvina sitting behind him through the glass in front of him.

“You're glad you didn't meet me, El? The same way I keep hearing the fuss I'm happy not?”

“I'm so glad to know you. You're good to her son. We can be friends ‘can ya?”

“Can dong,”

“Same victory of High School boy is very exciting turns out,”

“Yang really?” Davina hesitated to hear Elvina's words. Is being friends with him really fun? Not annoying?

“Iya. When else ‘kan menemenan same High School children whose age is almost the same,”

“Still young yes, no kayak Brother is old,”

“Eh carelessly by the way,”

Davina sneered at her brother who did not accept being said to be old. Vano considers his age to be mature, not old. His sister carelessly categorized him into old age.

“El, you are the type of guy who is above you, or below you?”

“I don't know. Why, Dav?”

“Yes is okay. I'm curious,”

“What if you were alone? Who is more mature than you or below you?”

“That's why me?”

“Nahloh, replied dong, El-ja already answered earlier,” Vano smiled as he glanced to the left where his sister was sitting and suddenly became restless.

“I ‘kan still SMA so can't answer that question first,”

Vano and Elvina chuckled as Davina refused to give an answer either because of what it was about type.

“Only type, Dav. Sometimes the type does not match the reality later. For example, there is a type of gondrong guy, but later can be a guy who does not have long hair. What if you are his type? This is us again talking age but yes. You ‘kan already SMA must already have a shadow about the type of pair. If you want to have a partner, I advise you not first. You see, if heartache can make your consent in terms of education, the fingers are broken. I've been in that position before, so I don't want you to be like me, too,”

Vano smiled when she heard Elvina giving advice to her sister, Davina. That's a sign that Elvina's attention to Davina who for now should focus on education first, but there must be a shadow of what kind of partner. Honestly, Vano was very curious.

“I like it the same age,”

“Oh so, one school is also not?” Asked Elvina who immediately made Vano understand. That's why Vano laughed. Elvina seemed to be delicately figuring it out.
