Shadow From the Past
Chapter 42

Vano had paid for all the hand he had chosen with his wife and then he took it to the car, when he was about to rush to the car that he accidentally crossed paths with his wife who would go back inside to approach him because he thought the cashier had not finished counting everything.

“Eh, has it been Mas?”

“Udah,” Vano reply briefly.

Vano put the purchased all into the trolley, and his wife observed. Vano's mouth was still tightly locked, and his flat face made Elvina reluctant to tell him that she had no time to meet Rendra because Rendra's car was gone.

After the luggage was filled, and the trolley used to carry the empty groceries, Vano immediately returned the trolley to the store, while Elvina got into the car first. Shortly after, her husband followed.

“Mas,” Elvina wants to start a conversation.

“Hmm?”

“Tadi I—“

“Mau ceirta about Rendra? No need, I can see it from your face. You didn't succeed nyamperin him huh?”

“Iya, the car has already gone,”

“Yes wrong you yourself really hope for, nyamperin him and nyapa him, whereas before your attitude was very appropriate. Don't let him know that you still haven't moved on. Because what? He's gonna be big head, El. But you don't understand anyway. So yes it's up to you to do it,”

“Mas angry yes same me?”

“I have no right to be angry. Because from the beginning I knew your heart was not for me but for the man. Only I can ‘kan for advice how should you behave in front of him? Okay, you can't move on yet, but does he have to know? Are you not ashamed? She is happy with her new girl, while you are still stuck in the past,”

“Emang is that easy, Mas? Not easy, I also want to lupain him but—“

“Yes yes, I understand. Whatever you want. But if I may give advice, learn to appreciate the couple can you make a move on. Because what? You are busy appreciating your partner who is now beside you, there is no time to think about him. And the way to move on kayak so ‘kan find busyness, find a diversion so as not to keep in mind him,”

“I don't appreciate Mas huh?”

“With you was running nyamperin he wanted to nyapa him, in front of me you admitted it, what can be said that is the attitude of respecting the couple?” Vano's question instantly made Elvina speechless thinking with her common sense. Vano gritted his teeth until his jaw was formed even more firmly. He was very upset to hear the question of Elvina as if approaching another man who clearly already had a new partner, and himself already had a husband is the right action, he said, actions that greatly appreciate a partner even though not a little.

“Okay I'm sorry yes, Mas,”

“Pardoned always. But want to get this way? I just want to, because honestly I started hopeless. Can I or can I make you fall in love?”

“Mas..don't say that,”.
