After Darkness
Episode 11

Robin enjoys her breakfast in her hotel room quietly. Immediately he contacted his mother and shortly afterwards the voice of the mother was heard from across the phone

“When, Rob? When are you coming home?”

“It doesn't seem to go according to the original plan, Ma. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow” replied Robin, he had to make sure Elsa wanted to come with him in a good way. Robin also did not expect, it turns out Elsa stubborn and not easy to be intimidated.

“It's okay, it's important you don't forget to eat yes. Be careful too”

“Iya, Mother. Mama herself how? Mama took the medicine on time right?”

“Yes, you don't worry. Bi Sum always prepares Mama's medicine on time”

“Hem, yes already, Ma. I'll call Mama again”

“Iya, Son..”

Robin disconnects her phone, and now she's looking for Elsa's contact, trying to contact a woman who's like her hard to conquer.

The first phone wasn't answered, Robin tried again. The second phone in reject, making Robin growl. He tried to contact Elsa again and this time he got an answer.

“However, Els? Already decided? Want to come work with me?” robin asked casually.

“Give me some more time, Rob. I can't possibly arrive and leave the house, my parents can be suspicious even though you say this is a job thing” sounds Elsa's voice full of emphasis from across the phone.

“Then I give you until tomorrow morning, I will book a ticket to Jakarta tonight. And inevitably, you have to come with me. You just need to choose, follow the good way or coercion” stressed Robin who made Elsa can only silence a thousand languages and after saying that, Robin immediately disconnected her phone connection.

...... ...

"And inevitably, you have to come with me. You just need to choose, come with either way or force”

The words continued to ring in Elsa's mind, like a recording that kept spinning and listened to right in her ear.

“What should I do?” for the umpteenth time, the question to himself was uttered from his lips.

Elsa paced back and forth in her room like an iron, then she sat down, then she got up again and walked back to the right and left.

At dinner, Elsa joins her parents. Now Elsa's appearance is much better and more well-groomed, and it makes both parents so relieved, they hope Elsa will soon continue her life as before.

“Em, Mom, Pa. There's something I want to talk about” said Elsa after landing her tree perfectly with her seat.

“What's up, Sa? What about the job your friend offers you?” asked Malik and Elsa nodded slowly.

“Ya is okay, if indeed you want to work”

“But if his job is out of town, Pa?” ask Elsa.

“Originally not in Jakarta duad” firmly the Father which of course makes Elsa immediately smile stiffly “Not her Papa want to defend Elnaz or anything, but as good as it used to be. You know for yourself how angry Arfan is with you” said the father.

“Iya anyway..” muttered Elsa.

“But the job is far from here, it's okay right?” ask Elsa.

“Ya is okay, as long as you do not disappoint us again” said the father

“True, Sa. We love you and we still give you a chance. Don't break our trust anymore, Nak” said the expectant Mother and Elsa just nodded weakly, because again she lied to her parents. But Elsa promised herself that she would soon solve this problem and start a good life without any ambition to disturb the happiness of others again.

“Then tomorrow I go yes, Ma, Pa” said Elsa then which of course makes her parents equally surprised.

“Besok?” ask her Mama.

“Directly go to your workplace, Sa? Oh yeah, what job? And where?” ask the Father.

“Oh that, hmmm” Elsa glanced right to left as if looking for answers from questions Mr. Malik “So employee, Pa” said Elsa later.

“Oh so...” his parents mangut mangut “Nothing what, the important your work is halal and good” Elsa just responded to him with a smile and started eating his dinner dishes. After eating, Elsa tidies the dinner table with her mother, then washes the dishes before the end of her Elsa re-enters her room.

Arriving at her room, Elsa immediately contacted Robin and informed her of her decision to follow Robin. That will make Robin laugh with satisfaction.
