Shadow From the Past
Chapter 92

Vano came home at half-nine in the evening. It was also included quickly because he was worried that there had been no news from Amih about Elvina who had returned home or not.

"I called why not pick up? Elvina's home yet?"

"Sorry, Sir. My phone is charging again. I'm not home yet, sir,"

"Not home yet?" Vano asked with glaring eyes.

Amih nodded slowly. He was afraid to see Vano who looked angry now. He quickly went to the room to make sure that Elvina was not home.

He arrived at the room was very quiet even the room lights were off. Vano immediately grabbed the phone from inside his pocket to contact Elvina.

"Ck! Not active cell phone, where the hell is he? Just worry,"

Vano was confused as to who to contact. He doesn't have Elvina's friends' phone numbers. She had no idea Elvina was going out with anyone.

"Oh my God, where is this now?"

Vano came out of the room without changing his work clothes. He must quickly ascertain where Elvina is.

"Sir, want to find Mama?"

"Yes, I'm going first,"

"Where are you looking, sir?"

"Maybe to the mall that Elvina used to go to,"

Vano immediately rushed away leaving the house again. He didn't expect Elvina to actually come home that night. He thought Elvina was not thinking of going home tonight when they had just had a fight.

"About me being free, even like this,"

Vano decides to go to the mall that might be the destination Elvina goes with her friends. It makes little sense they're still there because the mall must have closed. As far as Vano is concerned, the mall was closed before nine p.m.

Vano who uses very high speed managed to arrive at the mall with a short time. He immediately looked at the mall in front of him with a feeling of almost giving up because the mall was really closed.

"Well, where are you, El?! Where should I look now?!"

Vano down the neighborhood mall but really already deserted. He asked a mall guard at the security post.

"Night, Sir. I want to ask, this mall is closed right? No more visitors?"

"There's no more, Mom. 'You can see this tea is empty,"

"Oh so, well, sir. Thank you, yes,"

"Yes, you're welcome,"

Vano called his wife again. Maybe now Elvina's phone is active and Elvina answers her call.

"If it's active, it'll be good, I can check her location. It's still not active,"

Vano rushed into the car. He will go down the streets not necessarily the direction and purpose to find Elvina who has been this night has not yet returned home.

*****

"Elvina, next time you don't do this again. I had to leave Agatha at home who was sick because I had to help you" Rendra told Elvina.

Rendra sincerely helped Elvina who is now pat next to him but occasionally his eyes will open. A sign that he is not sleeping is just a lack of awareness after being drunk.

"I—aku—apologize, Rendra," said the woman with a stumbling block and unclear chatter.

Rendra exhaled violently and gripped the steering wheel firmly. He is sincere but that does not mean happy Elvina like this. Because Elvina was drunk and asked for her help to return home, she was forced to leave Elvina alone at home. His wife needs his presence too.

"Agatha really hurts what?"

"He's menstruating and it's the first day,"

"Your menstruation, isn't it? Not another pain?"

"Whatever makes my wife sick whether it's a disease or just because of menstruation though, still I can't be trivial. I don't want him to be in pain for any reason. I was forced to leave him whose stomach was cramping again to help you. That's why don't get drunk. Does Vano not forbid you to get drunk?"

"He doesn't know anything,"

"Yes, why don't you tell her? You can call him, right? Proof the phone I can,"

"I'm upset with him, again,"

Vano shook his head inexhaustibly. Because upset so do not want to tell the husband when it is very important especially in an emergency like that.

"Your car will be delivered later,"

"Who? You?"

"I might not be. I don't want to go back to the bar and go back to your house again. What time do I want to be home?"

Vano swallowed the car horn greeting the complex guard. Vano also lowered the window glass as an introduction because the rules are like that. They also seem confused to see Vano cars that are foreign to them.

"Who is Elvina with?"

"I'm his family,"

"Please, Sir,"

"Come,"

Vano returned to drive a car down the housing. The guard looked confused when he saw it. There's a chance he's suspected of being Elvina's mistress.

Tin

Tin

Vano pressed the horn asking for the gate of the house to be opened by the guard of the house Elvina. Not long after, the gate was opened wide and the car immediately entered the courtyard of Elvina's house.

"Get out, El,"

"I'm so dizzy to sleep here,"

"Start nagging it," grumbled Rendra while getting out of the car. He called Amih and asked Amih for help to get Elvina into the house.

"Oh my goodness, Mas Rendra, thank you so much for bringing Mom home. Mr. Vano again nyariin mother from earlier, and now not home,"

Rendra was upset to hear that. Elvina was troublesome to some parties apparently. Vano hasn't come home yet because he's looking for her.

Rendra also helped Elvina into the house. After Elvina was placed on the living room sofa, she heaved a sigh of relief. His job of helping the family is done. Elvina he considers family.

"I'll excuse you to go home first. Later if Vano comes home, say I'll take Elvina because Elvina calls me and asks me to come to the bar to take her home" Rendra told Amih. He could not wait for Vano and gave him an explanation. So he explained it to Amih and will certainly be conveyed to Vano after arriving home later.

Rendra will enter the car to coincide with the entry of a car that is none other than Vano's.

Vano came out quickly and met Rendra who pointed inside the house. "My wife has been delivered,"

"Why did you go back? You guys are gone?"

"What's? You guys?"

Rendra chuckles cynically. Especially this? Vano accused him of going alone with Elvina? Geez, obviously from earlier He was at home with Elvina.

"Lo asked directly to Elvina. I'm going back, I'm sorry I left Agatha alone at home,"

"Why do you leave your wife at home and keep coming to someone's wife?"

Rendra pushes Vano's chest to bounce into Rendra's own car body. Vano slammed into Rendra's hand which grabbed her by the collar.

*****

"Lo stay clear to me now!"

Their debates could only be witnessed by the house guards. He did not dare to break. Rendra and Vano are holding back their emotions.

"Males I'm clearin to lo, waste time. I have to go back now,"

Rendra had badmood talk with Vano therefore decided to go straight home. He also explained with Amih.

Vano suddenly pulled Rendra's shirt and gave him a blow once in the face until Rendra fell down.

"Astaghfirullah, sir!"

The new housekeeper dared to come forward when Vano was unable to control his emotions. Vano is detained by the security of the house so as not to get close to Rendra and vent his emotions again.

"Suckers! Don't know yourself! I helped you, but is this balesan lo?!"

"Gue doesn't know what you mean! Quickly talk to me why Elvina can be the same lo?! I've been like a madman looking for him everywhere but never met and it turns out the same lo,"

"Eh asshole! Elvina called me back at Agatha's house. He said he was drunk and he asked me to take him home. So don't ever think that I'm on Elvina's path. Why?! There's no interest at all. I had to leave my wife who was sick at home because she wanted to call your wife!"

Rendra encourages Vano not to be near her car anymore. Rendra got into the car then immediately pulled his car out of the residence Vano and Elvina with a fast pace leaving Vano who exhaled violently.

Vano quickly entered the house. The security of his house caressed the chest of relief as the quarrel did not continue.

"Udah wants to lose heart. Fortunately, Mas Rendra immediately left, did not reply. There was a mother tea. Make two people fight so,"

******

Vano's molars pitted against each other looking at Elvina who was sitting leaning on the living room sofa with her eyes closed and Amih beside her who seemed confused how to handle this kind of Elvina.

"This is a drunk mom, sir?"

"Yes, Mih. Especially if you're not drunk? Crazy one?"

Amih scratched her non-itchy head and immediately moved away as soon as she saw Vano grabbing Elvina in her sling.

"Let me take care of Elvina,"

"Good, sir,"

Vano immediately brought Elvina into the room. His emotions have not died down. Elvina really lured her emotions to run out tonight. I left the problem, went home too.

Vano placed Elvina on the bed gently. Then he looked at Elvina with sharp eyes. Elvina's breathing was calm and regular, meaning she was sleeping.

"Was drunk, asleep. This is sleep, isn't it? I used water, right?"

Vano to the bathroom. He took the water with a dipper and he took a small towel. He was really confused as to how to make Elvina aware. If it's real, it's where it is. Finally he just dip a small towel into the cold water does not play. Elvina opened her eyes in surprise. His eyes were red and he looked dazed. Either Elvina was sleeping or not but obviously Elvina opened her eyes as soon as her face was touched with something soft and cold. Vano must have the heart to do that in order to resuscitate Elvina and scold her as Elvina has been very outrageous according to him.

Make him worried, go home with circumstances like this and make him finally misunderstand with Rendra. His heart was boiling at this moment.

"Crazy for you? If mabok gini bother people know not?!"

*****

"I can't believe you, Anatha. You deliberately disable your phone finally I do not know where you are. The thing that keeps me from thinking is, you are asking Rendra for help even though you have a husband!"

"You know your position, don't you?! Whose wife are you? And Rendra who? You know, because of you, I misunderstood Rendra last night,"

"Well, before misunderstanding, you should be asked carefully. You are what Andra? He helped me very well,"

"You think to yourself that I am. I was almost crazy looking for you everywhere but didn't meet. Then go home with the hope that you have come home, I met Rendra. Rendra's taking you home. How did I not flutter last night? Huh uh?!"

Elvina gently rolled her eyeballs while casually chewing the fried rice. He responded to Vano's unfinished ramblings casually without burden.

"Why do you ask others for help? Not your own husband,"

"He's not someone else, Vano. He's considered my family, too,"

"But you have a husband! He also has a wife! Can you appreciate that fact?!"

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that, now,"

"It's great, drunk keep asking to pick up other men,"

"I was taught to be my friend,"

"I don't care who you're invited to. You are wrong, because you do not think I exist! I don't blame you for being drunk because I've experienced it. What I'm worried about is that you're a hobby of finding trouble, making us end up fighting almost every day,"

"I'm sorry, how many times have I apologized,"

"Not all problems can be solved by apologizing, Elvina. You have to be more mature, okay?"

Elvina rubbed her ears as it was hot to hear Vano's endless nagging.

Vano if you have lost patience is sometimes difficult to control. Maybe that's what Elvina wanted so she looked for the reasons for the debate to continue.

"You should apologize to Rendra and say thank you to her? Because he's already nolongin' your wife,"

"To be honest to say thank you, you are enough. Because you asked for help with him and it was your fault that you didn't call me. If it's about apologizing, I'll do it anyway, just calm down,"

"Lho's? Thank you dong too. What if he's not there?"

"Yes, no matter what. It's your own fault that you never know what I'm saying. I told you, you only told me when you left. What later? You're not sending me any more messages. Lost like it was swallowed by the earth continues until the night does not go home. Even if you were drunk last night you just asked me to pick you up. But you chose someone else to pick you up on the grounds that you're still upset by me. Is that adult?"

******

"Is he really looking for me, Mih? I haven't been home yet,"

"It's true, Mom. When did I lie? People so enter the door father immediately asked the mother after I told him that if the mother had not come home, the father immediately went out of the house again to find the mother. I think when the car came it was the same father of the mother uh don't know the same mother Mas Rendra,"

"Oh I thought Vano was staying home, not looking for me. He's upset with me again,"

"Even if you're upset that your wife hasn't come home until night, you're worried, Mom,"

Amih was astonished because Elvina thought that Vano did not care when she had not returned. Because they weren't all right before.

"Father love equals love to mother. No time to look for, or?"

"But I'm eng—"

"Eng—what, Mom?"

"Huh? No, I mean, I didn't initially believe that Vano was really looking for me. He's not angry or upset anymore I like to bummer,"

"Mom, if I may know, why are you drunk?"

Amih turned to Elvina who was sitting at the kitchen bar table observing Amih cooking. Since finding out Elvina came home drunk, Amih really did not understand why it could happen.

"I was taught a friend. We stayed together, the others went home. I'm the same Elya. We're gonna play there. Uh it's just like that,"

"How will mom's friend go?"

"Yes, more or less the same. We'll have a drink together,"

"Don't do it again, Mom. I was worried about my mother. Especially Mr. Vano. Don't bother atuh, Mom,"

Elvina chuckled instead of being offended when Amih advised her. He nodded obediently. "Yes, I'm not going neko-neko, Mih,"

"Udah happy with father, so do not mess around. Just wait for the completeness. When can I hear the sound of the baby's baby? I hope it won't be long, Aamiin,"

Elvina smiled faintly. Do not know if he is still routinely taking contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy.

"Mother's not procrastinating, is she?"

"Hmm? No, not" the lie. Not everyone knows that she is delaying pregnancy because she has not loved Vano.
