The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 120: Finishing
Akram's voice was clearly heard in the middle of that lonely night. That's why every fracture he said bergitu clearly, echoing in the clean air without a single disturbance that might cause a wrong meaning. Elana could no longer hear wrong.
Akram says... Is she pregnant?
Elana's body stiffened as she managed to digest what Akram told her. His body moved, about to leave. But Akram swiftly gripped her in an embrace, pulling her back into the embrace so tightly as if afraid that Elana would jump down from the bed and leave her.
“Don't go,” Akram's voice sounds raucous, prepare for the worst possible outcome. “You may hate me for impregnating you without your knowledge. But don't hate the kid and don't go.”
There was a heart-wrenching tone of plea in Akram's voice. It was as if, this time the man had completely lost his confidence at the lowest point he could experience, fearing that Elana would abandon him.
“Akram,” Elana tries to neutralize her own feelings, while trying to calm Akram. “You... hurt me,” what Elana said was driven by the pain felt in her body as well as her breath that began to tight because so hard Akram hugged her.
Upon hearing Elana's tone of voice, Akram seemed to be resuscitated, his arms open voluntarily, loosening the embrace though not completely letting go. The man lowered his head, staring at Elana with an indecipherable dark expression.
“Are you going to try leaving me again after this?” his his hissing in a slightly threatening tone, made Elana widen her eyes.
“Why should I... try to leave you?” Elana answered quickly.
There were a lot of things in his mind when listening to Akram's notice, but somehow, leaving Akram did not cross his mind at all.
Elana feels a little angry because she seems to be fooled by Akram, but she is not that angry to feel like leaving Akram.
After all, a baby grows in his stomach. Is that really real?
Elana's hand moved rubbing her stomach, filled with amazement mixed with disbelief. Her stomach was still so flat, and other than the agonizing nausea bubbling from her stomach, Elana felt nothing else to suggest that the baby was in there.
Is it true that there is a growing baby in her stomach?
Akram himself blinked his eyes, as if surprised to hear the question behind Elana.
“After knowing that I made you pregnant..You didn't hate me half to death and thought to leave me?” tanyanya returned, expressing her thoughts and expressing what made her embrace Elana so tightly that it was almost painful earlier.
Elana thins lips. He held his head up and slowly he tried to have a cool-headed head discuss this. Now there is a developing fetus in her stomach.Elana must be more careful in taking any action, for the sake of her baby.
“You... is it because of this pregnancy of mine, which is the reason you proposed to me?” that was an important question that Elana had to ask first, in order to determine her next stance.
Akram has led her to believe that the marriage she offers is out of love, but the fact of her pregnancy has put her in doubt.
Is it possible.. Akram offers this marriage for the benefit of the baby?
Then maybe Elana still takes longer to take a stance and feelings in the face of their marriage. Because, taking a stand for marriage in the name of love, is certainly different from taking a stand for marriage that is done for the sake of their baby's future.
“Elana,” Akram uses her finger to lift Elana's chin to face her. “I even intend to marry you before the baby is there,” Akram's eyes are sharp when saying, even with his voice that sounds honest filled with sincerity. “With or without our baby, I will still marry you,” she continued in a steady tone of voice.
Elana frowned, trying to believe but still feeling doubtful. The timing felt right, and everything went so fast. Akram's proposal, the acceleration of their marriage, and also…. The existence of this baby…
“You've known I was pregnant since the first time I woke up in the hospital, haven't you? Then.... Why didn't you say about this baby sooner?” elana asked confusedly, slightly mixed with suspicion.
Akram grabbed Elana's hand and kissed her. “Because I thought the same thing as you. I want you to accept my proposal based on your true feelings, because you really want to marry me. Not because of the baby that makes you feel you have to marry me as the father of the baby you bear,” when Elana was still not also saying, Akram reconnected with a tone of despair.
“I proposed to you first before I even knew the baby existed, Elana. I loved you first. When you were kidnapped, when you were poisoned, it all got me to the point where I realized that I couldn't afford to lose you. At that moment, I decided to give in to my feelings, confess my love for you and want to make you mine in the bonds of marriage,” Akram's eyes dimmed by the tenderness of the gentle. “The baby was an unexpected gift, which I gladly received, I hope..I hope that when you open your heart to me and accept my proposal, you will also receive the news of your pregnancy happily.”.
Elana was pensive, trying to digest Akram's long heartwarming sentence. But, at some point, Elana's forehead creased deeply and she looked at Akram with an immeasurably shocked look.
Elana's hand moved to grip the hand of Akram who was still touching his chin, his eyes glowed seriously with a wide gaze that made Akram's heart as if it was forcibly snatched from his chest cavity.The next sentence even sounded more shocking to the heart, making Akram could only be flabbergasted when he heard it.
“Akram! I can't be pregnant!” exclaiming Elana half-shouts with a solemn expression, “Doctor Nathan must have mischecked!” tengas sure.

Once again Maya seemed to try to find information from the laptop in front of her eyes. His forehead creased deeply while his lips pursed in anger, dissatisfied with what was plastered before him.
Strangely enough, just yesterday he did a search on behalf of Elana Layl on the internet and found nothing, it was as if Elana was a creature from outer space that had suddenly appeared to this earth without carrying a trace of her traceable past.
Yesterday there was no data on Elana Layl, absolutely nothing. Now, all of a sudden, all of the data about Elana appeared as she did a search, neatly arranged with a sequence as if it was arranged so completely by someone, she said, specifically to satisfy curious humans like himself.
It is written that both of Elana's parents are dead, Elana was not born in this country, but abroad, her mother died of illness, her father died of an accident, and her father died of a, Elana is taken home to the country and treated in a small suburban orphanage.
The education of women is clearly stated there, ordinary public schools. After that, there is no additional education information there. His educational record was mediocre, nothing stands out from Elana who might be proud of the glorious Mayan educational history.
Is this data deliberately omitted in part for privacy or other interests, or did Elana not pursue other education after High School?
Maya's eyes widened with anger when she imagined the possibility that Elana was just an ordinary High School graduate.
How could the genius Xavier take a lowly High School grad kid as his assistant? Has Xavier's judgment been blinded by love?
Moreover... if indeed Elana with her low education managed to steal the heart of Akram Night as Credence told her earlier, how could Maya accept her defeat just like that? How could Maya be defeated by a woman with a low education, mediocre appearance and everything that of course Maya is superior in all fields?
Even more annoying, all of this data about Elana Layl had previously been nonexistent, and now it suddenly appeared completely as if everything was just artificial data created to play with the person who was looking.
Elana is definitely not a mediocre person, there is something hidden about that woman that must be dangerous. Akram Night must have been fooled by the innocence of his appearance.
It could be that Elana is actually a dangerous woman who was sent by a criminal syndicate to harm Akram when he was off guard, right?
Maya must try to find out more. He will not give up before finding evidence to show that Elana is guilty in front of Akram.

Xavier is lazily propped up in front of his laptop. Actually, he did this all because he was bored and also had a habit of being vigilant so there is no harm in him watching Maya further, including in terms of Maya activity on his laptop.
Unexpectedly, when yesterday he hacked Maya's laptop, he found something interesting.
From yesterday, Maya was constantly trying to find out about Elana, she was trying her hardest and without doing anything, until trying to get into the data of the authorities and also entered the deep web even though the woman failed to do so. Despite that, Maya's great curiosity towards Elana tickles Xavier's soul, until finally he collaborated with Elios and took new data about Elana that had been prepared for the announcement of the woman's marriage to Akram Night, and installed it immediately as bait for Maya.
Already expected, it turns out Maya still hasn't given up tonight. The woman was still looking around like a madman, trying to find something hidden that was not really there, and immediately snatched the information bait provided by Xavier and devoured it all out.
Xavier does not like women who are filled with inattentive curiosity, as well as smart women who feel themselves better than others and underestimate others. And Maya's already on the list of women she doesn't like.
At the moment, although Maya is unaware, she is under Xavier's strict supervision. Whatever Maya's movements might endanger Elana, Xavier will prevent her first. However, if Maya's actions are only a sneaky plan in the style of a woman who will eventually embarrass herself, then Xavier will advance in the front row to clap and laugh at her.

Akram raised his eyebrows and looked at Elana confusedly. Elana seemed earnest with her words until Akram believed a little. However, the results of Nathan's examination are certainly confirmed after lab research that has high integrity, the possibility of wrong is very small….
“I... In your office, Nathan's doctor injected me with a contraceptive injection, didn't he? That's a period of three months after the previous one, didn't Nathan's doctor say that if a woman's body is injected with contraception, then the body's hormones are conditioned as if she were pregnant so that they can't be fertilized? Don't you guys mistake my body condition for pregnancy, even though I'm not pregnant?”
Akram was stunned to hear the barrage of words coming out of Elana's lips. In the end, after he had managed to digest all of Elana's misunderstandings, his previously stiff lips instantly decomposed into a wide smile.
Slowly Akram shook his head.
“Elana, you misunderstood. Nathan only injected you with vitamins back then..”.
Elana widens her eyes. “So, you lied to me, so as not to inject contraception, to make me pregnant?” the accusation was quick, drawing hasty conclusions.
Once again Akram shook his head. “No Elana, Nathan avoided the injection of the contraceptive hormone and chose not to inject you, because most likely, you were already pregnant before the incident. I never set you up for pregnancy, Elana. Your pregnancy was purely due to accident,” Akram stopped his sentence, then let out a long sigh. “I'm sorry, for someone my age, I should be more responsible in doing everything, but, your pregnancy is purely because of my carelessness.
Elana frowned. “So I've been pregnant before?” his mind immediately counted carefully in the clouds, then he looked at Akram with a surprised look. “Gosh, I should have received a contraceptive injection long before.”, he said, only realized after counting.
Akram nodded his head. “The poison from Xavier and the kidnapping of Dimitri make your injection schedule late, Nathan doesn't want to risk complications between hormones and toxins so he deliberately delays his schedule for you. And I...” there is a thin red hue that flashed across Akram's high cheekbones. “And I who could not help myself, finally hugged you without a second thought as soon as I got you back from Dimitri's hands. I just wanted to hug you back then, and to hell with all the fertility calendar calculations.”
Akram sighed when he found Elana's still confused gaze towards him, finally he explained slowly, so that there was really no guess in Elana's mind that Akram was trying to trap and lie to her intentionally.“When I had sex with you without safety, Nathan called and said that you were at the peak of your fertile period and your chances of conceiving were huge. You know what I felt back then? I feel scared."
"Fearful?" Elana opened her mouth in curiosity. "You're scared because I might be pregnant?" tanyanya.
Akram shook his head. Now, after getting a chance where the two of them could speak from heart to heart, Akram decided to be honest with Elana. This pregnancy was the last thing he ever kept secret to the woman, after that, Akram was determined not to keep anything secret anymore. They will move on to a new step after their marriage, and Akram wants to start things right, for Elana, for her child, and for their soon-to-be-formed little family.
"I'm not afraid because your pregnancy is not the baby that scares me, but my happiness. At that moment, I was pumped by a burst of happiness to the point where I felt fear. I wanted so much to have you that I was afraid you wouldn't feel the same way. Know it? Imagine you're pregnant with my child, imagining that your 23 chromosomes are joined to my 23 chromosomes, to form a baby with 46 complete chromosomes that are a fusion of the two of us. Imagining a baby forming in your womb, the two of us who might inherit the best of both of us later on, makes me so happy that I'm short of breath," Akram drowned Elana back in his arms. "At that moment I decided, that towards this child, I would adore and welcome him with pleasure, completely as I loved his mother," Akram kissed Elana gently on the forehead, then connect again with a question of fretting. "You haven't expressed your opinion at all since, and it makes me wonder... Are you as happy with this pregnancy as I am, or do you hate it because this child keeps you stuck?" Akram lowered his head and looked at Elana straight. "Do you want to run away from me?"
"Akram," Elana rebuked, feeling sad when Akram repeatedly mentioned about Elana who wanted to escape with him.
Yes, Elana was very determined to do it first, but that was when her heart had not accepted Akram and Akram still treated her as a toy and did not respect her as a woman.
Now, even without the existence of this baby, Elana could already accept that she would spend the rest of her life with the man. Plus, with the existence of the baby with Akram in his stomach, for example at this moment Elana has not changed heart even though, of course Elana will not be as evil as it separates a child from his biological father.
But Elana's tongue was silent. How does he reveal to Akram that he has absolutely no objection to the existence of the baby in his stomach? Especially after Akram explained that this baby was created as a beautiful accident, not as a tool to trap it....
His instincts as a mother, of course, will immediately love this baby once he realizes its existence in his stomach.
Elana had just opened her mouth, about to speak, but at the same time, Akram grabbed both of Elana's hands and kissed her.
"Me and my son in your stomach, is a package that will surely love you continuously in the future. Please, take both of us, and we promise that we will do our utmost to make you happy" Akram said in a solemn tone, and the way Akram mentions himself and his future son as a unit somehow makes Elana unable to help laugh.
His lips that had opened were about to give a serious answer, forming a wide grin that turned into a slow laugh. Elana drowned her face into Akram's chest to hide her laughter, but still her shoulders shook without being able to hide.
Elana's cheerful attitude was contagious, creating a wide grin and sparkling eyes from Akram's side, the man lowered his head and kissed the side of Elana's face hiding in her chest in a loving manner.
"Hey," I'm begging for your acceptance, instead of joking, why are you even laughing?" whispered Akram with a smile in her tone. The sound of Elana's laughter somehow sounded like music in her ears. As long as she remembered it, Elana rarely laughed out loud when she was nearby, and now a warm feeling rose up in her chest, creating a spark of happiness that lit up the whole part of her soul, as she hugged her laughing woman.
Elana's laughter is a good sign. The woman did not cry, did not accuse and was not angry with him. The woman laughed. So, Akram can expect a little higher, right?
She hugged Elana tightly, kissed her hair, forehead, temples and all sides of Elana's face to express her affection.
"I'll take this laugh as an answer" Akram finally put his lips on Elana's lips and kissed her softly, making Elana's laughter swallow and her face flushed with a happy-mixed shame. "Elana Layl, we're going to have a wedding soon," she broke up later in a stern tone.

Hi, this 1 part is probably the only one who will qualify on Monday. The author is sad if you wait 2 without certainty for Lolosan Review, so do not wait again if for example this 1 can pass Monday. Wait for God on Tuesday.
The other 3 parts may have just escaped Tuesday, because today the author had to pull back to revise the important part for the perfection of the script.
Sorry for earlier. AY
