EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 128's

...

“Good work.” Bayu handed me a bottle of mineral water that the lid had opened on me.

At this time I was sitting panting because we just finished running around the sports field 1 Km once a round. Even though it is late at night, but people who exercise at night are still quite crowded into this field.

If you think about it now my body feels quite fresh because it gives off sweat. It has not been a sport outside for a long time.

“By the way it used to be when we were in High School, I don't remember you being able to martial arts.” Suddenly the thought crossed.

Bayu who was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a small towel glanced at me at a glance. “Areally I didn't tell you about that? Actually since Junior High I've been taught by grandfather every time grandfather can take off.”

“Tell me how your grandfather first taught you martial arts.” I said curious.

Bayu smiled slightly as his gaze looked forward, as if he was remembering that moment. “I remember very well the first time grandfather taught me martial arts, we discussed the principles of martial arts first. Grandfather told me that ninety percent of martial effort was reducing the risk of attack first. There are three important aspects to an attack: the attacker, the victim and the opportunity. Eliminate the opportunity and you will make a big jump to reduce the chances of being attacked.”

“Betul. That makes sense.” I nodded in agreement.

Bayu raised his hand to rub the top of my head, he slightly lowered his head to look me directly in the eye, then said. “My aim to teach you martial arts is not to beat the assailant.”

“Why?” I ask pout, the shadow I will beat the jerks who bother Bayu disappear instantly.

“My goal is to give you time to escape. Your goal is to get as far away from the attacker as possible.” Seriously next.

Bayu grabbed both of my hands so we could face each other, he didn't want my attention distracted. He is in serious mode right now.

“Majority of men have never practiced martial arts or anything like that, so they won't be able to handle the moves exactly and even the man who learned martial arts won't guess what you're going to do. Remember the key is to break away.”

“Alright, I understand.” My answer cannot argue.

If he's too serious like this, it looks more charming. “I see you mean, it's basically women to beat a man with empty hands it will be difficult. Especially women who have never once practiced martial arts like me, it must be impossible.”

Bayu nodded in satisfaction at my explanation. “Most women may be convinced that without a weapon, you have no hope when fighting an aggressive man. Actually you have some weapons to use. I'll show you how to use it to your advantage, tomorrow we continue. Day

this rest, you must have cape because today is your first day to enter work after a long vacation ‘kan?”

I took a long breath. “True to my guess, I will definitely be fired soon because there are others who are learning about my work.”

“Is that? Too bad.”

“Why?”

“You know, this morning was the first time I saw you dressed neatly working.”

“Ohh? Really?” I was a little surprised that Bayu also noticed a small thing like this.

“You look more charming and sexy.” His whisper made me instantly hold my breath due to his impromptu attack.

The training pants, t-shirts and jackets that I now wear belong to Bayu. Last afternoon he asked me about the shoes that were still on the terrace. Turns out he's taking it for me to wear now.

While this morning, I only wear clothes that are usually in work wear. Knee-length sponge skirt is maroon red with a little tear on the left side of the skirt, combined with a cream-colored shirt whose arm length is only limited to the elbow. The shirt is deliberately inserted into the skirt to give the impression of grace.

It was the style I used to see when I was going to buy her skirt.

“So you like women like that?” I ask while folding both hands on the stomach.

“Because it's you, so I like.” The reply. I smiled broadly in response.

“After this we will where?” I asked to shift the subject.

“Want something sweet before going home?” Bayu asked back.

“Am I not sweet enough for you?” I joked as I pulled his hand so we could get out of the field.

“Ohhhh right! You were so sweet that night.” I stopped my steps when I heard his words, remembering the kiss.

Aye!

Her lips are sweet too.

I snorted bitterly to hide my crazy heartbeat and continued our steps.

I looked at myself in front of the mirror this morning, getting ready for the office. Once I am satisfied with my appearance. I immediately grabbed the bag and ran quickly towards the door. Bayu had been waiting for five minutes in front of the gate.

“Good morning, princess. Women are long when they dress up!” Bayu greeted me while I was locking the gate.

This guy opened the front door of the jeep for me. I just smiled and walked over to him.

Bayu was wearing black skinny pants and a white t-shirt this morning. It is rare to see him outside without his jacket.

My eyes glanced at the protruding veins of his hands. Before getting into the car, I grabbed her hand with both hands and looked up at her.

“Good morning! My darling has breakfast?” I smiled at him broadly.

Bayu frowned and shook his head. The smell of Bayu's shampoo was smelled when the sepoi angina hit our bodies.

“Alright, I'm the one who's distracted. Come!” I said.

..

…

“I'll pick you up at five.” I nodded and immediately opened the car door but before my feet came out, Bayu held my hand which made me reflexively turn to look at her.

“Do not be naughty.” He said touching my nose with his fingers.

“And don't miss me.” I retaliated.

Bayu grinned and without waiting any longer I immediately got out of the car before the man spoke again.

I'm in the driveway to the front door of the company waiting for a black Jeep Bayu car out of the parking area to the gate and join another car on the highway.

When the car was no longer visible, I immediately turned around and found Yudha standing in the doorway staring at me. Looks like he's waiting for me.

“Oh! Morning Yudha.”

“Again, Icha. Have breakfast?” Ask.

We walked into the office together. “Already on the road.”

“Ah right! I'm insensitive, of course I am! So this morning our head mom was in between and had breakfast with her boyfriend.” Yudha.

I chuckled softly and just shook my head, not expecting him to not be awkward talking about this to me when we only knew him yesterday.

“And I bought you this breakfast intentionally.” He said again showing a small paper bag in front of me.

I glanced at him in disbelief. “If you haven't had breakfast, you can have breakfast first.”

“But breakfast alone is not good.” He said again, sounding like asking me to accompany him.

We arrived at the front door of the room. But my steps were stopped when Yudha handed me the food.

“It's okay if you have breakfast, you can eat it later. It's just that you have to accept this.” I frowned hearing Yudha's voice turn more formal to me.

“Given that you have just returned to work after sick leave, then this food is suitable for you. Porridge made specifically for health. Hope you are always healthy.” Said again.

I smiled and accepted it. “Thank you, I'll eat it later.”
