The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 32: Forging Patience

"I wanna take care of you. I wanna kiss you every morning and every night. I want all of you. I want you."

The pizza was amazingly tasty, with layers of melted cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni and bountiful ground meat on top. The taste of the sauce is also very delicious, combined with crispy pizza bread on the outside and soft on the inside, still warm and fragrant.

I don't know how many bites Elana spent. He was busy partying with a sense of pleasure that pleased his senses and stomach. Until at last, his stomach sounded the full alarm, a sign that he was content to fill.

Elana wiped her mouth with a tissue, then closed the pizza box neatly, frowning as she realized just how big the size of the pizza cardboard was.

Akram gives her a jumbo-sized pizza with twelve large pieces full of toppings, then the man tells Elana to finish it? What does she think Elana's stomach is?

But, of course Elana will not waste the blessings of delicious and abundant food for her. The experience of life lack of food and never feel the pain of the stomach holding hunger but can not afford to buy, making it a person who really appreciates food, more than anyone. Moreover, this pizza is a type of luxury food for him that he might not be able to buy unless he really has excess money.

He'll keep the rest of the pizza in the fridge tonight and will heat it up tomorrow morning for breakfast before work.

Elana took a sip of cold soda from the large glass she placed on the table. The sweet coldness mixed with the biting sensation in his throat felt very pleasant washing his mouth.

Although Akram insulted this menu as junk food - junk food, but the taste of Pizza and soda is very delicious and Elana does not regret devouring it.

After putting the big pizza box into the refrigerator, Elana chose to sit back and pensively in front of the kitchen counter. She is reluctant to go up and return to her room after she finishes eating, as Akram tells her.

Elana's eyes glanced towards the stairs, where Akram was still inside his room. Looks like the guy's still in the shower.

Staying with Akram for some time is enough to make him know that the man is very clean to lead to excessive attitudes, for example now, just now, Akram can spend an hour just to take a bath and clean his body.

Even a woman does not need that long to take a bath.

The man's words before leaving really troubled Elana. Ordered Elana ready in her room when Akram comes? What does she think Elana is? Akram is completely disrespectful to Elana, treating her as a lifeless item, which must be ready to function properly before use.

Slowly, Elana rubbed her arm which left a bit of pain in the microchip injection marks earlier this morning. Instantly he instantly remembered the tracking device planted in his body, which made him have to temper the dream of escaping in the near future.

A sense of tightness immediately filled Elana's chest, making her forget her previous happiness when enjoying a dish of pizza that was amazingly delicious.

Until when should he survive be treated this low by Akram?

Elana let out a long sigh as she did not find the answer to the question she had asked herself. But unabashed, he finally managed to strengthen himself and force his body to move up from his seat.

There was no point in him being reluctant and trying to buy time. After all Akram will still do his point without anyone being able to stop, while Elana who is trapped here can not step anywhere.

There was no way for him to escape. For now, I don't know.

From the door of her room that was slightly open, Akram could hear Elana climbing the stairs and stepping into her room. He who had just stepped out of the bathroom was frozen.

Elana was ready to wait in her room

Akram was still wearing a bathrobe and stepped towards his wardrobe. He then changed his clothes in a comfortable nightgown while his brain was busy thinking.

Should he come straight after Elana? Or will he have to wait a while to not look too lustful to the woman?

His normally very expert brain made up his mind suddenly turned dull tonight, making Akram exasperated to himself. Akram finally makes the decision to wait a little longer, he will give the woman a chance to prepare and show Elana that she is not so interested in sleeping with him.

The woman can get bigger and bigger if she knows how much she wants to take that tiny body into her arms, spice it up and unite with it.

Akram then stepped across the room and decided to sit on the large sofa in his room, his hand moved to take a thin digital screen that directly displays the data he needed to make company decisions tomorrow. Akram tries to drown himself in the work. Usually he enjoys his time working a lot, but somehow now he has a hard time concentrating.

Almost an hour passed and his mind was busy with seconds, minutes and hours spent in this room alone, while in the next room, his woman was waiting, with her tiny body that was so tempting to touch.

Akram gulped. He finally reached the limit of his patience. Akram quickly put the digital screen in his hand and got up from sitting down, then stepped out of the room.

When Akram stepped into the room where Elana was sleeping, a silent atmosphere immediately greeted her. The dim shades of the room are created because Elana turns off all the lights in this room so that the lighting only depends on the dim yellow light that lights through the frosted glass located on the wall boundary between the room and the room shower room.

The woman seemed to sleep on her side, turning her back to the direction Akram was coming from, with her body wrapped in a blanket up to her chest. Akram frowned, then stepped soundlessly onto the bed and shifted his body closer, only to stop when he was so close to Elana who was turning her back.

Akram's hand touched Elana's shoulder, shaking her slightly.

"Elana?" his his hisses slowly broke the silence within that room space.

There was no answer, only silence greeted him.

Akram brought his face closer to the side of Elana's face, he heard Elana's regular breathing and her slow body wrapped.

These women are not playing the expensive selling techniques of experienced women who pretend to sleep to make themselves look difficult in the can. Elana's really asleep, really fast. Even Akram could hear the subtle snoring of Elana's breath rising down slowly in front of him.

Akram gritting his teeth was filled with annoyance in his soul.

He spent time withholding desire, counting the tormenting seconds before deciding to come to this room, and this brash woman even left him to sleep?

Roughly, Akram turned Elana's body towards her, about to wake her up. But then, Elana's deep expression with her eyes closed tightly and lips slightly opened, leaving her stunned. Elana looked exhausted and it managed to touch the sensitive point in Akram's heart that had never touched anyone.

He can't bear. And he could not tell himself to wake Elana who looked sleep exhausted at this moment.

Akram removed his grip from Elana's body and slammed her next to the woman, lying on his back in the dimness of the room while staring at the ceiling of the room with a body of pain. The frustration took hold of her, realizing that the woman was next to her, but she could not touch her.

Then suddenly Elana's body rolled sideways, docked to her body, while the woman's hands and feet carelessly hugged Akram's body, treating her like a roll.

Damn you Elana. Goddamnit!

A chill crept into Elana's back so she slightly shuddered, then her body moved reflexively and clung more and more tightly to the bolster she was hugging, trying to sip warmth from there to dissipate the coldness in her body.

The roll feels hot pleasant, comfortable to cuddle and hard in certain parts....

Elana frowned when she realized something was different. Consciousness began to permeate his mind instantly, expelling the dreamland that had been still struggling to master. Elana's hands and feet were coiled in the bolster then moved to make sure, swiping there, feeling it.

This was definitely not a bolster.this was clearly another human figure lying next to him.

"Away awake?" the grim hoarseness between the teeth suddenly rang through the silence, like the growl of a monstrous monster waiting patiently in the darkness until the weak prey moved closer in slowness, to then immediately snatch and finish him mercilessly.

Elana was aghast when her clear mind had returned, and realized that it was Akram Night who had been lying next to her all night and had been hugging her recklessly like a bolster.

Instantly Elana tried to release her closeness to Akram and immediately moved to roll away. But, of course he lost quickly to Akram Night, the man held Elana's shoulders so as not to move.

"You're the only woman in the world who's ever dared to keep me waiting. And now, after you wake up..." Akram could not hold himself back anymore, he finally stopped his sentence and immediately kissed Elana.

The sound of his phone ringing with a strong vibration vibrating nightstand beside the bed made Akram instantly awake. His hand immediately moved to reach the phone he had placed last night on the nightstand as he lay following Elana to the bed, then immediately saw the display screen of his phone.

Eliot.

"Master Akram," Elios greeted in a polite voice, "Good morning, I just informed you that the meeting with the Japanese side will take place two hours from now. Do you want me to send you a driver to pick you up, or do you want to drive your own car?"

"No. No need for a driver. Cancel the driver for Elana, too" Akram replied calmly. "I'll drive myself" he replied later, closing the conversation.

Across there, Elios looked at his phone with a puzzled expression. It is customary for Elios as Akram's assistant to start his work by calling his boss in the morning and explaining the schedule today on Akram Night. The boss is usually full of vitality in the morning, answering each call with a firm voice, then immediately give instructions efficiently and quickly regarding the series of activities today that have been fully scheduled.

Akram Night, known by Elios, is known to always wake up at dawn, as if impatient to start the day productively. Meanwhile, Akram Night who answered his phone earlier sounded different, the boss replied in a raucous voice as if he had just woken up from his sleep.

But could it be that? Elios stared at the darkened screen of his phone, then shook his head to expel his thoughts.

No. gabe. There's no way Akram Night just woke up when the light of the ground was already touching the day. It must have been just his feelings.

Akram put down his phone and turned his attention to a tiny creature that was currently lying curled up on his arms and chest.

Her lips softened when she imagined about Elana.

Feels worth. His whole torturous wait that night paid off already.

Akram is actually tempted to wake Elana up and spend time with her all day, but today her schedule is full, and she knows that Elana must also want to go to work.

"Wake up, little cat," Akram lowered his head and whispered in Elana's ear to disturb her sleep.

Elana's response was a disturbed murmur, her hand moved to repel Akram and her body rolled back to Akram, about to resume her sleep again.

Anxiously Akram approached back towards Elana and bit off her tiny bare shoulder.

"Wake up Elana, you'll be late for work if you don't get up soon" Akram said, giving a kiss on the surface of the woman's skin.

This time Akram's whisper directly pierced through Elana's consciousness, leaving her eyes wide open instantly.

Elana's hand moved to reach the small table clock next to the nightstand and immediately gasped to see the time indicator there.

"God! I'm late!" Elana exclaimed in surprise as she got up, wrapped the blanket on her naked body, stepped down from the bed and ran for the bathroom, leaving Akram who was still lying on the bed while wearing a sour expression because he was ignored.

"Good morning" Elana who was putting the pizza she had warmed into a paper bag she found in the kitchen drawer immediately greeted Akram down the stairs. "Do you want pizza?" Elana offers with a forced friendly attitude. Two pieces of pizza had been warmed by Elana in the microwave, originally to be brought by Elana as a stock. But if Akram wants to, Elana doesn't mind sharing.

"I don't eat junk food." Akram answered without hiding the disgust in his voice, then observed Elana sharply.

Elana immediately pursed her mouth at Akram's rude rejection, she sighed and decided to go back to the original plan, which was to bring the pizza in the paper bag as a supply of work

Akram is already wearing a neat full suit, ready to work, as well as Elana. The man immediately raised an eyebrow when he saw Elana standing there as if waiting for him to descend a long time ago and looked extremely nervous.

"Is there anything you want to say?" guess Akram exactly.

Elana** both of her hands were tangled awkwardly, staring at Akram carefully as if it was hard to say a word.

"I.. uh may I borrow a little cash? Later.you can cut it off from my paycheck. I was about to take public transport to work but I didn't have any cash.You know, right, I can't pay for public transport with a card," Elana put on a forced smile and tried to joke around, but apparently the joke did not reach the heart of Akram.

The man's expression darkened, filled with anger.
