It was late in the afternoon, and Elios had been saying goodbye since he left the office because he had the task of picking up Nolan after school and taking him to the hospital where Elana was treated later.

But, in Xavier's spacious study, Xavier and Credence were still there, while the files of Credence's inspection appear to be piled on a large table in front of the sofa located on the opposite side of Xavier's desk.

Credence, who had spent his coffee cups, finally lifted his head from the files he examined, then glanced at his watch.

It was soon before night, for a dark tinge had already begun to adorn the sky and was preparing to swallow the light yellowish sky. Credence's forehead creased as he looked at Xavier who had been silent and busy in front of his laptop.

Hours had passed and Xavier had not moved out of his chair at all.

Curious, Credence got up and took the time to grab a cup of hot coffee from the coffee maker to fill his empty cup. He then stepped up, approaching Xavier as he looked up at Xavier's computer screen to find out what the man was working on.

The two men did not talk to each other. Xavier watches his laptop closely, and his fingers move at speeds nearly undetectable to the eye, typing in codes that might only be understandable to Xavier's brain. Meanwhile, Credence who had just chosen to quietly observe, standing beside his desk, was sipping coffee from the black cup in his hand.

“Why do you think Maya had anything to do with all this?” credence then asked, finally deciding to break Xavier's focus full of concentration on the image display on the screen.

Xavier did not reply, indicating that he did not want to be disturbed. Then a few minutes later, a bib sounded on his computer screen, and the screen display that was originally only in the form of unreadable computer codes, switched screens, showing a picture of a luxurious empty apartment, in the inner boxes share a clearly visible side.

“You decide to tap Maya's apartment using a nano camera that can fly and be programmed into Maya's apartment room, then take pictures from all angles. What's the advantage of all this? Does it really have anything to do with our plan, or do you not save the desire not conveyed to Maya and want to peek at it?” Credence could not help but speak again, this time tucked in a mocking and aggravating tone because Xavier had not responded.

Xavier turned his head, his lips grinning as if scoffing at Credence's words to him.

“I wouldn't be fascinated by a kind of woman like Maya. I just consider it a pawn and a tool to achieve my goal,”

“And your destination is?” continued Credence, asking curiously.

Xavier chuckles. “You know, Credence. I've been studying about humans for so long, and studying women with complex emotions is the biggest challenge for me. Their feelings can't be mapped out like we're mapping out even the most complicated programming code. But, no matter how complicated a woman's heart may be, I know for sure, that a woman who is hurt, can do more cruel and more terrible even when compared to the most ruthless executioner in the world though.”

“You think that Maya will take revenge on Akram?” Credence frowned as he began to be able to deduce the direction of Xavier's conversation.

Xavier nodded his head. “Maya is the kind of woman who can't be rejected just like that. He is too high-minded of himself, so that, when someone rejects him, he will not introspect himself and find fault with himself why until he is rejected, but will immediately place the blame on the person who rejects him. And I'm sure, at this time Maya will look for all kinds of ways to be able to take revenge on Akram,”

Xavier glanced at Credence and smiled broadly when he found out that Credence understood what he was about to say. “Just like you thought, Credence. Before being kicked out of the company, Maya already got the data of your findings in the company Akram. He knows who the perpetrators of Akram's financial embezzlement are, he also knows who the brains behind all these financial crimes are, and most definitely, what they are, he knows that Dimitri is Akram's great enemy and the only strong enemy who has the guts to challenge an Akram Night.”

“So, you think that Maya will reach out to Dimitri to avenge her on Akram?” ask Credence again.

Xavier nodded his head. “Maya is not the kind of woman who can be rejected, then give up and just leave your life. He will plan all sorts of ways to come back and demand a reply with the aim of making Akram regret. Trust me, Credence, just be patient and we'll see how Maya won't waste time allying with the enemy in order to take revenge on Akram,”

“Elios will be coming soon with Nolan,” Akram glances at his watch. The distance from the area of his house in the suburbs occupied by Nolan to this hospital is indeed quite far, coupled with traffic jams during the day, so it is likely when the afternoon comes, so it is close, nolan can get to the hospital.  “Today is his last exam day and Nolan is off school tomorrow. I've arranged for the next room to be prepared so that Nolan can stay here, Elios will accompany him, so tomorrow he can spend the whole day with you.”

They've gone back to the room where Elana's treatment and Nathan's doctor has just left the room. Dr. Nathan has received a report from the results of an initial gynecologic examination by Dr. Sandra and returns to visit the happy couple to inform them that everything is fine, normal and healthy.

The most shameful, the, doctor Nathan frankly even explained in front of Elana and Akram directly that intercourse is allowed but must be done very carefully with intensity that should not be too often, at least until the content is strong at the age of twelve weeks or three months.

And after explaining what needed to be explained and managed to make Elana's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, the Doctor went off to leave the room without any guilt at all.

Currently, Akram is peeling oranges for the woman. The man sat down at his favorite place, on the edge of the bed, near Elana. After the orange peeled off, Akram fed it patiently to Elana. After the orange was exhausted, Akram's eyes automatically directed at Elana and followed the change in Elana's expression which suddenly became grim to make her eyebrows raised.

“You look confused. Wh why? What's filling your mind?”  tanyanya fast.

Elana let out a long sigh, about to speak but her voice did not come out. He looked at Akram carefully, hesitating for a moment but then decided to speak.

“It's about Nolan,” said Elana weakly. “I... I still hesitate to say that I am her brother.”

“Why do you feel doubt?” tanyanya took a sharp look.

Elana took a long breath. “Neither... I was just afraid Nolan was disappointed,” whispered slowly, filled with a sense of inferiority.

Akram moves both palms to cupping Elana's face and she bows her head until the tip of her nose almost collides with the tip of Elana's nose.

“Why should Nolan feel disappointed with you? You are beautiful, kind-hearted and you are everything a man wants to be his life partner. You are the woman I love. She, Nolan, will definitely feel as happy as I was when I found you to be part of the family,” Akram watched Elana's face closely, as she still saw the murat of disbelief reflected on Elana's face, Akram gently kissed the tip of Elana's nose to calm her down. “You know, don't you? I'm a kara in this world, just like Nolan?” he half whispered.

Elana frowned. “You still have Xavier,” fast.

Akram furrowed his eyebrows as if he did not like it. “Xavier doesn't count,” he said refuted quickly. “She has not counted for a long time,” he continued later in a firm voice.

Elana was actually about to refute Akram's words, wanting to say that everything Xavier has done up to this point, even though everything seems to be done in a veil of evil, he said, it was all driven by Xavier's oversized love and affection towards Akram.

However, before Elana could raise the conversation about Xavier, Akram immediately cut him off with an undeniable attitude.

“I don't want our two moments of quality right now, ruined by talking about Xavier. I'm focused on talking about you,” said Akram slowly. “Elana. You must have seen that all this time I was alone and had no one in the world. I also never wanted to have a family, because I with my arrogance felt that I was able to live alone in this world,” Akram's gaze seemed earnest. “That was all before I met you.”

Elana blinked her eyes listening to Akram's last sentence. But his tongue was a little, as if he could say nothing. He just kept quiet, looked at Akram attentively and waited for the man to continue his words.

“You are the only woman who makes me feel confident that I can share my life. You are the only woman I would ever mind spending every second of my life with. And you ended up conceiving my son, making me believe that even someone like me, needed someone I love and love, to protect in the name of family.” Akram rubbed Elana's hair gently. “I am lucky to find you among the seven billion people on this earth, but you are even luckier than me. You still have someone in this world who has a blood relationship with you, someone who shares one mother with you, your family even since you were born in this world. You're not a kara and you're grateful, aren't you?” ask Akram attentively.

Elana was still speechless, only able to nod her head.

Akram smiled, this time his smile seemed soothing and encouraging.

“Then, you must be grateful for Nolan's presence in this world with all your heart. And I'm sure that's what Nolan will feel when he finds out that he still has you, his brother, his sister, someone who has a blood relationship and shares his genetics. I'm sure there won't be any disappointment in Nolan's mind when he finds out that he has you as his sister. She will thank you as you thank her,” Akram kissed Elana's forehead, then her lips moved down and kissed Elana's eyes, before then anchored on Elana's lips and kissed her gently. “Because of that, don't you feel inferior or afraid that you'll let Nolan down. As long as I've known you, you've never let anyone down, you've never let me down, and you'll never let Nolan down. Do you understand, Elana? You are a woman to be grateful for, not to be regretted.”

The words spoken by Akram were so sincere and heart touching, making Elana's chest claustrophobic by real novelty. Since then, his feelings have been stirred by various emotions, and all of that was jumbled up in his soul, making his eyes hot and then his tears finally spilled unbearably, she said, drenching her cheeks in an unstoppable sobbing.Elana sobbed, and Akram gently wiped the tears away, removing the wet trace on her cheek, replacing it with a friendly kiss full of consolation.

“So, would you consider telling Nolan about your blood relationship later when he gets here?” whispered Akram asked.

Elana gulped, sighing deeply to strengthen her heart. And then finally, he nodded his head.

“I... I'll say it tonight,” whispered then made up my mind.

Akram smiled widely. “Good. Trust me, Elana. When there is no secret, your heart will be filled with a reconciling relief. He will thank you, I'm sure of it,” he said quickly.

Elana frowned, then raised her head to look at Akram curiously.

“Have you... ever regretted me, even a speck?” tanyanya doubt.

Akram stared intently at Elana. “Still you need to ask?” sahut Akram with a sharp tone. “I'm here trying hard to speed up our marriage, and you're still asking if I regret you? No Elana, there may be many things I regret in the past, but I can answer you with certainty for this one. Your presence in my life I will never regret. I told you, that I thank you.”

Akram's words touched Elana's soul again, causing her tears to creep back. I don't know why Elana feels so easy to cry right now. It was as if his heart was melting into tears, easily touched and easily moved.

“I adore you, but you cry instead,” gently Akram brings Elana into his arms. “Is it all because of the influence of your pregnancy hormones until your emotions flare uncontrollably?” akram asked with a chuckle, tightened his embrace, kissed the head of Elana, then gave a soft kiss there.

Maybe it is because of the influence of hormones, Elana herself does not dispute it. His entire emotions were now mixed together by a sense that his mind was inexplicable.

Elana closed her eyes, drowned her head in Akram's chest, seeking tranquility there by inhaling the pleasant and conciliatory aroma of Akram. He tried to peer into his own soul, looking for answers to the turbulence of his heart so complex that it made his chest bulge tight and his breath stuck in his throat.

Then, Elana finally found an answer.

All the tenderness of Akram, his protective nature, the kindness and love that the man poured out without cover up and continued to flow to him though still unrequited, he said, it had touched Elana's heart at the deepest point. Everything that happens in their lives, fights, resentments, misunderstandings, fear of loss, attention, love, desire to have, and all the emotions that bring them closer together…. Everything brought Elana's heart to an undeniable culmination point.

For this time, for some reason, all the doubts in Elana's mind were gone, making Elana steady, sigh deeply, then keep her face away from Akram's chest, then he raised his head and looked at the man.

“Akram..” Elana again sighed, her heart pounding so fast as she tried to say the word.

Akram frowned, he realized that the emotion of nervousness flooded the woman in front of him. His expression turned anxious as he stared intently at Elana.

“What's up, Elana?” elana's thin hands move, touch Akram's cheeks, and do what Akram often does to him.

Meanwhile, Akram keeps a happy thump on his chest when he receives Elana's touch. In this one day, without any hesitation and subconsciously, Elana had repeatedly touched him, rubbing his face and various other intimacy.

It makes Akram feel very happy, because it means that they are one step closer than before.

Both of Elana's hands cupped Akram's firm cheeks, feeling Akram's warm skin being absorbed there, while Elana's eyes were glued to Akram's hazel eyes staring at him sharply, a beautiful silence filled with heart thump and breath full of anticipation. Unexpectedly, Elana raised her head, then kissed Akram's forehead gently, making Akram surprised with a faint tongue.

Then finally Elana opened her mouth, her lips trembled as she spoke.

“Akram... I love you,”.
