After Darkness
Episode 157's

Not wanting any more lies to her parents, Elsa tells Mayra who she is and why she can sniff at her. Both of his parents could only massage their temples. Really they did not expect it turned out to be this difficult life that Elsa lived all this time and they did not know at all.

"But it looks like that woman is indeed a good woman, Sa. The proof was that he wanted to help us, Sa," said Ms. Isna and immediately Elsa recalled that when Mayra got out of the car she looked like she was crying, she was curious but Elsa tried to ignore it.

...

After a long day at work, Robin returns home to her parents because she does not want to meet Elsa and she does not know Elsa's situation.

Arriving at the house of the mother, Robin was immediately greeted warmly by her mother, even she hugged her longing let alone these three days she had never met Robin.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Rob? Mama can prepare dinner for you" said the mother.

"It's okay, Ma. We can have dinner out if Mama wants," said Robin who also threw a smile but instead of making Ms. Anita happy, she felt something was wrong with Robin. "I'm also going to stay the night" he continued, which made the mother's suspicion even greater.

"What's wrong? You have a problem with Elsa?" Bu Anita asked and looked anxious in her eyes, especially when she noticed Robin's moist eyes and a circle under her eyes.

"Nothing, it's just..." Robin licked his lips that felt dry even his throat also felt dry, today he did not eat at all and drank even a little. "There's Elsa's parents in the apartment" he continued which of course made Bu Anita very surprised.

"How could? And what do they say? They didn't know Elsa was pregnant, did they?"

"Later to tell me, Ma. Now I'm going to go to the room" said Robin, then he rushed to his room.

Bu Anita who was curious about what happened directly contacted the phone number of apartment Elsa but after several tries, there was no answer. Ms. Anita frowned, there was a feeling of anxiety in her heart because no one answered the phone.

Without thinking much, Ms. Anita immediately followed Robin into her room. "Robins...!" he shouted and Robin who was about to close the door of his room opened the door again.

"What's up, Ma?" I asked Robin lazily.

"You sure Elsa's in the apartment? Or maybe his parents brought Elsa home," he said, which of course made Robin's forehead immediately wrinkled in.

"I mean Mama?" Robin was confused.

"So Mama tried the phone but no one answered" replied the mother who made Robin more confused and she also felt anxious. Robin contacted Elsa from her phone but was unable to answer. All the bad thoughts wandered in her mind, afraid Elsa would just leave like she used to.

Robin drives at full speed and in his heart he keeps praying for Elsa not to go as she used to, at least not now! Robin still wants to be with Elsa, still wants to keep her even though she is very disappointed with Elsa's decision.

.........

While in the hospital, Elsa falls asleep because all night she hasn't slept, her parents look after Elsa, they stare at Elsa's sleeping face.

Miss Isna stroked the princess' head fondly. "Why does all this have to happen to you, Sa? Why is this so hard for your life? If only Mama could take your pain, Mama would take it all away without a shred of it, honey."

"We pray that Elsa can get through all this" Malik said gently. "Whether this is Elsa's fault, it all began because of Elsa's ambition. If only she didn't want to be a model, if only she had stayed by Arfan's side that night, maybe her life story would have been different. Elsa's just paying for everything she did first."

"But isn't this too cruel, Mas?"

"The law of nature has always been so, we reap what we plant."

"I never thought .. if the figure that I had always considered my own father turned out to have feelings of love like a man to a woman. She put me in a difficult situation—being a stepmother as well as a friend of her own daughter. I must perform well in the shackles of an uncertain tangled thread where the ends are." Anne Malila's.

"The figure of the woman in my past is present in you. I can't control the long-buried feeling of seeing you. The desire to have and love that was lost in the past will not be repeated. I must have you, Anne, because you were like your mother's incarnation when she was young."
