EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 106's

...

“Really! Such confidence!”

“Slowly I understand and realize the charisma that Bayu emanates is such confidence.”

“You understand the boy very well. It's worth it Bayu thinks highly of you.” I chuckled, my cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

“Many women who tried to approach him, I heard that even the most powerful woman in her generation had tried to approach Bayu but she always avoided and ignored, people had thought she was sick and abnormal.” I don't know why prof said it. This Bora makes me feel guilty and sad.

Maybe I made it that way.

“How did you guys meet? Stefan and I have never heard of him being close to someone.”

“Actually me and Bayu are friends of a small prof, then he moved on and lost contact a few years until he came back again when we were in High School and had time to date until graduation. We also targeted wanting to enter the military together but for some reason I couldn't choose the job and cut ties with him while he was in

pelatian camp. Maybe that's what makes him ignore women, those times maybe he hates me.” I looked down, not wanting to look at the prof. Bora who was now silent listened.

“But you guys are back together.”

I glanced at him and smiled. “Really! One of the things I am very grateful for in this life is because God introduced it to me and I have no intention of letting it go again.”

Profs. Bora touched my hand on the table, making me look at her.

“Bayu will also definitely not want to let you go again, as evidenced by today's case he was very angry and did not care who the people he arrested. Even though the official or businessman used all kinds of connections they had but Bayu will not let go.”

The words of this woman warm my heart, I feel lucky because of the classmate prof. Bora could see how Bayu had such an incredible love for me.

“We met for the first time today but I feel you have a different kind of inner beauty and charisma compared to other women I've met. It is only fitting that even Bayu's enemies like Rey, Mike and even Gilang who met you have their attention.”

Either I should be happy or sad to hear it. “No! They just used me to threaten Bayu.”

“Lately Bayu has been talking to Stefan about those things. He was upset because he said his enemies were interested in his girlfriend. They pay more attention to you even though they first met. And oh yeah, when Stefan and I just came in today, Bayu was upset about something, too, she said

after he gets home from headquarters he'll find out about a guy named Henry.” I almost choked on hearing it.

Suddenly I remembered Aunt Yuan who was going to tell me about Henry's mother's loan. And also about the legacy that can not be renamed unless it has been verified by the Eternity group. Though today I forgot about the matter that was waiting for me, now I remember again.

“So—who's Henry?” Highlight prof's eyes. Bora was curious looking at me. But I remember Jane Alexander who claimed to be Bayu's fiancee.

“He's the guy my mom wants me to get engaged to him as soon as possible.”

I laughed a little at it. “What's going to be that bad? But what about Jane Alexander? Professor knows the woman?”

“Yaa I know him, hearing his name and origin at a glance I can already guess how he is. A few years ago Jane and Bayu got engaged because they were in a match, they broke off the engagement because he said Jane did not want to have a lover of a soldier who would certainly make them

the two rarely meet and work at risk, supported by Bayu who indeed from the beginning did not want to be engaged to a woman he did not know.”

“But, the army is a great job in my opinion.”

“Yaaa, Jane said that because when they broke off the engagement, Bayu was not yet the captain and had not entered the phonex team, a few days after their engagement broke up Bayu was appointed captain and I heard that Jane had several times wanted to meet Bayu at headquarters.”

I nodded in understanding what kind of type Jane Alexander next to her was the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

Feeling that the woman in front of me was looking at me in wonder, I looked back at her. “Why prof?”

“What Bayu really didn't say anything to you about his job?”

I nodded and twisted my memories during our first meeting almost two months ago.

“Actually when I first met I didn't want to know her job or her position because Rey used to bother me that I thought she was targeting me because I knew everything about Bayu's job so I refused when Bayu wanted to explain. After a few weeks later I found out that he was the captain, and I knew that when something happened in the mall. Then about him who entered the phonex team, I just found out this morning.”

“You trust him so much huh?”

I smiled a little hearing it. “From calling trusting him, I describe it more to trying to believe that we are always reminded that mutual trust is the main foundation of a relationship. But I don't know, sometimes I can tell what he wants to say and he feels just by looking into his eyes.”

“Until it's like that? Aren't you afraid she's changed from the previous one?”

“Yaa people did change, Bayu also changed from before. But to this day I can only see positive changes from him. Besides I don't know what he thinks of me, maybe he also felt I changed from before either in the negative or positive as long as we can understand each other.” I said staring out the window.

“I learned from my previous experience about me deciding, I'm not arrogant but I just understood lately that being in a relationship is cooperation and trust between two people, not just one person, no matter what.” I continued to suddenly imagine the regretful face of Bayu earlier in the car, he blamed himself for leaving me.

For the next minute we were silent no one spoke, busy with our own thoughts.

“Then how about prof. Bora and Doctor Stefan? Bayu never told me about doctor Stefan who had a fiancee.” My question dissolved the silence between us, I continued to eat porridge that tasted a little bland.

Profs. Bora shook her hand. “Me and Stefan are friends of the campus, he continued to enter the military academy I continued to teach at the campus as well as continue my school. Our story is ordinary.”

I smiled a little hearing it. “At least prof. Bora and Doctor Stefan are the main characters in your story. If you don't mind I want to hear it too.”

This woman chuckled softly at me, her eyes staring out the window as if she was recalling her past with Doctor Stefan.
