After Darkness
Episode 154

Elsa and Robin could only sit deep while Mr. Malik and Ms. Isna really didn't know what to say, their tongues were muddled, their breath stuck in their throats.

Angry, disappointed, sad, everything becomes one. Their heads were about to explode and their hearts were like they were crushed by a boulder when they found out that their daughter was pregnant outside of marriage.

Elsa could only cry a hiccup without daring to look into the eyes of her parents, even to say sorry Elsa was unable.

"We want to meet your parents, Robin!" Mr. Malik tried to say firmly but his voice still trembled.

"Mama knows, Om," replied Robin and he lifted his face, looking at the two Elsa parents. "I want to take responsibility, but Elsa does not want to." he continued while glancing at Elsa from the tail of his eyes.

"You're making a big mistake, and you're....."

"Me, Auntie," Robin interrupted quickly. "It's my fault, Elsa wasn't wrong even she was the victim of my crime."

"meaning?" Ask Ms. Isna.

Hearing Robin's story certainly made Miss Isna and Mr. Malik very surprised, their feelings were even more broken even though Robin had explained that she wanted to be responsible, and what makes both Elsa's parents even more surprised is Robin who claims to fall in love with Elsa.

The couple was confused and did not know what to respond to this problem, while Elsa had been silent with tears that glistened endlessly.

"So, are you getting married?" Ask Mr. Malik after a long time he also just kept quiet to digest Robin's story.

"I want to marry Elsa, Om. But Elsa rejected him many times" Robin replied. "So I won't force it, Elsa doesn't want the baby either, so I'll take care of her myself."

Mr. Malik and Ms. Isna are increasingly confused to hear Robin's words, especially as far as they know, most cases that occur like this must be men who run away, not wanting the baby could even kill the baby while Robin acted otherwise.

"What kind of relationship is going on between you?" Mr. Malik asked with a loud voice and emotions that began to peak because he was really confused by the relationship of two young people in front of him.

"You're Robin! You raped our daughter until she got pregnant, and you're Elsa! You are being harassed, your future is ruined! But you guys live together and even go on vacation?"

Elsa sat contemplating with a straight look out there, her bedroom window wide open, letting the wind in and caressing her skin.

While his parents were sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Elsa from behind who now looked much fatter than before.

After an emotional conversation, Robin allows both Elsa's parents to rest because they must be tired, Robin feels he has done everything he has to do including expressing his desire to be responsible but also not forcing Elsa, now Robin will let them do whatever they want.

"Why did you refuse when he took responsibility, Sa?" Asked the father then who made Elsa smile wryly, her eyes were puffy because she kept crying.

"Initially I refused because I was afraid that you were disappointed and ashamed that I was pregnant first, I didn't want to tarnish our family name anymore" Elsa replied in a raucous voice.

"But why do you live with the man who raped you, Sa? You're not afraid of him?" Asked the mother, Elsa smiled faintly and shook her head.

"What happened wasn't entirely Robin's fault" Elsa said, recalling past events before the rape.

Now Elsa told me everything, without exception. How he first met Robin, how Robin and his mother misunderstood, until Robin's threat to work at his home became a servant.

Elsa's parents were very surprised to hear the story, they never knew the suffering experienced by the princess so far. Elsa also tells their people that Robin is a man with emotions that are still unstable but that does not mean he is a bad man. It was Elsa who provoked Robin's emotions, making Robin so angry that the rape ended. But as the time went on together, Elsa realized how soft Robin's heart was. Many times he succumbs to Elsa's egoism and it makes Elsa's heart touched until she finally falls in love with the man she considers the boy.
