Akram himself watched Elana's reaction, then smiled gently soothingly as if he could understand Elana's anxiety.

“You are worried about your appearance, although in my opinion, your appearance will always be more beautiful than other women who may be there,” Akram chuckled when he received a disapproving look from Elana, then decided not to torture Elana any longer. “But, since I understand your discomfort, then I will calm you down. I own some shares of this restaurant, and because I am one of the owners, I have special access,”.

“Special access?” not understanding, Elana repeated Akram's words while staring curiously.

Akram nodded his head. “Ya, special access. Like the power to empty this restaurant in an instant and expel everyone so that I can use this restaurant for myself for example.”.

“You don't do that!” Elana exclaimed quickly, staring at the people who looked crowded filled the restaurant.

Even the parking lot where their car is located is already fully visible before dinner time. Guests who come to this place must have made a reservation before, and deliberately intend to come while bringing their date to enjoy a fun dinner date by enjoying a delicious dish typical of this restaurant. Elana couldn't possibly make Akram make this people's dating show mess up.

After all...by driving all the guests away, will not it bring harm to the restaurant financially?

“I'm just saying that I can do that if I want,” Akram grinned when he saw Elana's reaction. The man used his fingers to lift Elana's chin. “Of course I can guess that you wouldn't be happy if I did that, given your nature of always putting the interests of others above your own,” back Akram uses a riddle tone in his voice that provokes Elana to instantly ask.

“What other ways?” elana's eyes glanced towards the bustling luxury restaurant and panic began to engulf her. “How about we eat at another restaurant... maybe that does not need to get off the car... sort of drive tru restaurant so?” timid bargain.

Akram's reaction was immediate as he had expected, the man wore an expression of unspeakable disgust.

“You asked me to buy food at a fast food restaurant? I just recovered from my illness and I'm hungry for not being able to eat properly yesterday, so there's no way I'm going to let this newly recovered body get contaminated by junk food from a fast food restaurant. The most famous food menu here is a very healthy rank one wagyu and of course helps my recovery, so I won't eat anywhere else,” said Akram with an obnoxious arrogant tone.

“Then, what other way do you mean?” elana asked finally in a desperate tone.

Akram opened the exit, turning towards Elana with a meaningful look. “Special access, I told you, didn't I? That means we have our own entrance, and available our own room in this restaurant for us so we will not be disturbed by others when we enjoy the dish,”

Elana tilts her head. “Why do you rich people need such protection so you have to enter secretly into a restaurant?” tanyanya.

Akram chuckles. “Because the richer a person is, the more he wants others to scrape by and find out their secrets,” he replied in passing.

Back Elana frowned. “Is that me to you? Something to keep secret?” ask her in a plain tone.

The question made Akram who was about to get out of the car instantly freeze. The man did not open the door of his car, instead facing towards Elana with a serious expression.

“You must know clearly how you stand by my side, Elana. You should know clearly how I want to treat you, that I don't want to keep your whereabouts a secret. For if I may choose, I want to show you before the world, to show you to them. But, I certainly understand that even though I am ready to show you off to the public, it is you who still feel unprepared for me to claim to be mine. I'm right, aren't I?” Akram brought his face closer to Elana, forcing her to look at him. “For if you answer that you are ready, I will not wait any longer to announce my relationship with you. Fuck all those people. We can enter the restaurant from the front door, under the eyes of everyone and maybe also the reporters waiting there, while raising their heads full of pride. I can't even wait to do it,” Akram stopped his sentence, looking at Elana with a questioning look. “So, sweetheart. Where do you want to go?”

Elana stunned. The firmness in Akram's tone of voice is so unspeakable that there is no doubt. And the meaning contained in her sentence, managed to make Elana blush in embarrassment.

But, of course, the appreciation and adoration of Akram against him did not make Elana forget herself. He knows his position, he still does not deserve to accompany Akram. She really did not want to make Akram feel embarrassed later when the man showed her off in public. His confidence has not been that big to be able to stand with Akram while lifting his chin full of pride.

Elana cleared her throat for a moment, trying to expel the hoarse tone in her voice.

“Kurasa... I think we entered the restaurant through a special line only,” he replied with a stammering tone.

The food they ate that night was amazing. The presentation also uses an international method where the food menu is served in stages in order. The first is an appetizer, dessert, dessert, then after that the waiter offers coffee or wine for their conversational friend.

Akram wisely chose coffee, as he was still reminded of the pain of his hangover hangover a few nights ago. After all, he was still taking medical medication this morning so it would be unwise to consume an alcoholic beverage on the same day.

Calmly, Akram took a sip of his coffee while his eyes stared at Elana who was busy stirring the cream into her black coffee, making the deep color of the coffee fade and turn into a soft cream color.

“What's bothering you?” akram quickly guessed when he saw Elana who focused his attention on the coffee he stirred in a clockwise direction.

Elana raised her head, then put on a weak smile.

“I... earlier I have not told Nolan that I am his brother,” he said slowly.

Akram certainly already knew that even when Elana had not said it. When he picked up Elana at the gazebo earlier, there was no change in expression or shock left on Nolan's face. They did seem more familiar than before, but that was all. Therefore, Akram immediately concluded that Elana had not said about her blood relationship with Nolan to the child.

Elana nodded slowly. “I…. Not confident,” he replied slowly.

Instantly Akram's forehead wrinkled. “Not confident? Why?”

Elana took a long breath. “Nolan. I mean his achievements and intelligence. We both came from a simple orphanage. But Nolan, at a young age, has won several science olympiads representing the school and its region, not to mention his achievements and abilities at school. As soon as I spoke to him, I knew that he was a smart kid with broad insight, coupled with a very polite kind personality…. While I compare with myself, I was always a normal kid in my old school, I probably graduated with good grades, but that's it, nothing out of the ordinary. Unlike Nolan who might achieve a glorious future when my age, I even ended up being a supermarket cashier and also a toilet cleaner without being able to incise any achievements or advantages... That's why my mouth didn't get my heart to reveal to Nolan that I was her brother, I…. I'm afraid she's embarrassed to have a sister like me who's this very mediocre...”.

“Elana,” Akram immediately put his hands together to hold Elana's fingers, then squeezed them gently. “You can't say that. We talked about it earlier. You have to suppress that low sense of yourself and throw it away. Didn't you realize? It was you like that that made me fall in love with you,” said Akram in a firm tone.

Elana frowned, looking at Akram with an unconvinced look. “But...you were also attracted to me at first not because of my personality, but because of my body..”.

Akram. “Yes, I admit it. Didn't I mention there's a mysterious physical attraction I feel for you? But it is with the attraction of the body that drives me to interact more with you, gets me closer to you and gets to know you more…. Then I fell in love with you.”.

“But still it...” Elana interjected again, the more uncertainties filled her.

“Elana,” Akram spoke in a firm tone, as if forcing the woman to focus on him. His desire was fulfilled because the woman immediately looked up and looked at him.“I love you because of you. You may not perform at your school like your sister, you may work as a toilet cleaner, but that's what I'm grateful for. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn't have seen you in that night's restroom incident and maybe I would have missed the greatest chance of my life to have the most real boon of my life. At this moment, I can feel very real, honest, sincere from my heart that I love you, every inch of you, every point of your personality without exception. All your shortcomings, all your advantages, I adore him with my heart. You are perfect in my eyes and you are the best for me.” Akram looked at Elana in earnest. “So I hope you throw away that low attitude of yourself. You become number one in the eyes of Akram Night, who can argue that?” connect Akram in a joking tone.

Elana stared at Akram with teary eyes. A sincere smile spread on his lips.

“Te... thank you, Akram,” he said then in a vibrating voice.

Akram *** Elana's hands are soft, her lips grinning happily knowing that she has managed to touch Elana's feelings.

“Therefore, quickly fall in love with me. I dare to guarantee that you will not regret,” he said then with a smile full of affection that certainly can make anyone's heart beat faster to see it.

Akram stood leaning against the side area of the restaurant in the form of a lounge lounge where male guests wait for the woman who is cleaning herself in the toilet. There is a special door from this lounge that leads directly to the hallway which is a special in and out access for VVIP guests.

They have finished their dinner and are preparing to go home, but Elana intends to tidy up first in the toilet so Akram decides to wait here.

Today, although not passed by making love and satisfying desires, but quite fun and soul satisfying for Akram. He had managed to convey his heart back to the woman, making her realize how much Akram loved her.

And Elana is definitely starting to open her heart to him.

Akram's lips unraveled a smile as he imagined the time would come, when Elana would fully confess her love to him.  They'll get married soon and have a baby. I can't wait for that to happen.

Having a loving child, who was born from the womb of a loved woman, will surely taste great. Akram himself was overwhelmed with anticipation when he imagined Elana walking with a big belly because she was pregnant with her child…

“Akram?”

The voice of a woman greeting carefully made Akram detach from her daydream. His forehead immediately frowned when he realized who the female figure that was currently standing in front of him was.

“I attended a dinner with my family,” the woman explained without being asked, her expression as if fascinated mixed with infinite pleasure. “I didn't expect to see you here. Are you with someone? Or did you have dinner alone at this restaurant?” asked the woman without hiding the thick curiosity in her eyes.

Immediately Akram narrowed his eyes, looking at the woman with a cold expression before then speaking harshly.

“Not your business,” answered straightforwardly, making the woman's face paled because she did not expect to be followed with such a harsh tone.

Elana looked at her face in the mirror, realizing that there was a red hue of blushing that was still real there. His lips reviewed the smile and he let out a long sigh later.

Today was fun and meaningful. His feelings are turbulent, jumbled by various raging tastes and thoughts, but in the end, Akram has managed to convince himself, that he is precious, that he is worthy of love.

Elana sighed again, still commenting on the smile there. Akram may have thrown his life to the bottom, but it was the man who then raised it as high as possible, restored his shattered self-confidence and made him able to stand here, looking at himself in front of the mirror as an individual who has value as a human being.

Therefore, Elana faces that she will be able to retrace the future later with more confidence.

After making up her mind, Elana stepped out of the female toilet where she had tidied herself up earlier and walked through the hallway to approach Akram who was waiting at the end of the hall. They will come back out through a special door later, the same door where they entered the room earlier.

When she reached the end of the hallway, Elana was about to approach Akram who was on her back, but her steps stopped instantly when she realized that Akram was not alone.

The man was talking to a woman whose face was invisible because it was covered by Akram's broad shoulders.

While standing carefully so that she is invisible to the other Akram's interlocutor, Elana tried to peek at the female figure with curiosity. From the little seen, it appears that the woman has a tall body with seductive curves, and wears a dark blue dress decorated with sparkling crystals that are very beautiful.

The woman who was talking to Akram must have been very beautiful, maybe one of the artists who had been Akram's lover. Elana immediately guessed, along with her efforts to peek at who exactly the woman who spoke to Akram.

But, before Elana could see the woman's face clearly, she suddenly gasped when she saw the woman, with a very natural movement, suddenly, he lost balance from the footing of his high heels, so his body staggered to fall forward and automatically hit Akram who immediately caught the woman with a swift.

Akram's closeness to the female figure inexplicably thrust into Elana's soul making her heart throb as if pierced with an indignation. Elana held onto her chest, and she suddenly felt her stomach churn.

The nausea instantly hit Elana quickly without warning, making cold sweat instantly drain her body. All the delicious food he had enjoyed with Akram as if now climbing up uncontrollably, passing through the trunk of his throat and slashing the barrier wall as if he wanted to spurt from his mouth.Elana immediately held her mouth with her hands, before then he squandered and turned his body into the woman's toilet.

Luckily no one was there, so no one saw how Elana blindly tried to open the toilet room and bent there helplessly, spewing out her entire stomach.
