EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 134

...

“Ke—why should take me??” I snorted lazily, geez this chatter swirling around.

“Why did you ask Daniel? You have to answer it!” Grandma still looks at me annoyed.

I immediately reached into the small shawl bag that was brought to remove the phone and sent an electronic document to our family group. Before sending her I looked at Grandma annoyed that she also did not want to listen to me like mother.

“Actually I don't want to take this out because you and mom will be embarrassed but—“ I took a quick glance at Daniel and pressed the send button.

“But because grandma also did not want to hear and understand what I said, so I sent the proof. It's all proof of the transfer I've been giving my mother for Daniel's investment, also some documents related to Daniel who mortgaged Aunt Rose's inheritance house without telling me until I myself who had to make up for it using my savings.” The sound of incoming messages that are mutually unpretentious inhabit this room. They were all busy opening their phones and starting to see the contents.

“Kak! So you've planned this?! True what mother said, you calculation!” Daniel exclaimed furiously at the table.

“Daniel! Where's your manners??” That's aunt Nuri's warning.

“Investment? What investments? Then how did it go?” Uncle Ben seemed interested after reading it. I shakes not wanting to answer.

“And one more!” I exclaimed considering there were documents that had not been sent. As fast as lightning, I sent proof of the transfer, my mother received seventy million from Henry.

“This is proof mom got money from Henry. Mom never said anything about needing this much money. If grandma still doesn't believe me, I'll send you a recording of their conversation that eventually wants me to get engaged to Henry so mom doesn't have to pay her loan.”

“KAU!! CHILD SIA—“

“Bu, the original plan after I told grandma about the proof of this transfer I will repay this mother's loan using my personal money but because of my stubborn mother and brought Jane here, so I canceled it. Now the debt is a matter of mother herself and Henry.” I cut off mother's screams.

“Icha, I won't ask for this money again as long as you want to be with me. I like you and I'll give you everything you want. Our engagement is ninety percent done. We are not new people, we have known since SMP.”

“For the sake of happiness together, you don't be selfish, Cha! You just continue the engagement with Henry and I too Bayu will be getting married soon. My father just told me that he has spoken to Bayu's father to continue this engagement.” Jane chimed in to make my emotions go up.

AuntieYuan who was sitting next to me clasped my hand, trying to temper my emotions. Just now I was about to open my mouth but I felt a soft swipe of Bayu's hand on my head.

I glanced at him and he just smiled soothingly. This man cleared his throat slowly before he told my family. “Because my name is dragged with this problem, earlier I apologize in advance.”

Everyone was silent waiting for Bayu's speech. “For this matter, first Icha has never heard of the engagement event held next week for her and as you heard that Icha has been resisting matchmaking since the beginning. Both my relationship and Jane's had long since broken up and there was no continuation. Third, whatever these two people say, grandmother and mother should understand that Icha has explained the two points earlier and the last one, should be, the question of money and the evidence you have received is clear and irrefutable

for any reason.”

“What are your rights? You haven't got the blessing of Icha's mother!” Henry replied angrily to Bayu.

“But Icha has got blessing from aunt.” Aunt Yuan replied while smiling gently at me. I feel like I want to cry now to get a defense from him.

“Aibi will also approve Icha and Bayu.” Now Aunt Nuri smiled broadly at me and Bayu.

“But his mother Icha—“

“Son Henry, don't you understand too??” Uncle Ben asked furiously which instantly made the man shut up.

“Sorry yes son Bayu, here drama once. Uncle trust Icha to you.” Uncle Ben patted Bayu's shoulder gently.

“Then, should I ask Evano Kavin Danendra's blessing, bu?” My question made Mother, grandmother and aunt Rina glare in shock.

Actually I don't want to talk about that guy, but my patience is up.

“Evano? Who's Evano? I seem to have heard.” Aunt Nuri asked me. But no one wants to answer.

Suddenly Darius put a small paper bag on the table and then he pushed it on me. “Gift, for both of you.”

I shriveled in disbelief, the man who rarely spoke but we always played together as children gave me gifts. “Thank you. Can I open?”

Darius nodded, I smiled at him not expecting him to bother preparing a present for the two of us. Everyone is curious about the contents.

I took out a small box from inside and opened it immediately. A pair of brown watches. Looks nice and shiny.

But a memory popped into my head, about his promise when we were kids. “What is this about that promise?”

Darius nodded. “Yes! It is not expensive but now my debt is paid off.”

I smiled and thanked him again. My cousin once promised to give me a gift when I introduced my future husband to her. Although I was angry before but with this gift made me very happy and flattered.

Darius was not married, but he was always a good cousin and brother. It has been a long time since I have seen and talked to him.

“Come to eat.” Aunt Pia interrupted us all.

Although it was a bit awkward but my brothers started to choose the food they would eat. I glanced at Henry, Daniel, Jane and Mom. The four of them just silently stared at the empty plate before them.

“You should eat a lot. Our journey to the top will be long and there the air is cold.” Bayu whispered to me.

I nodded and smiled at him. At least after the talk, no one else started a fight. Everyone enjoyed the dishes and desserts that have been ordered before.

.

..

…

Before our dessert was over, our mothers, Daniel, Jane and Henry were all alone. They look uncomfortable when coming out of this room. Then the next five minutes Grandma, Aunt Rina, Darius and the twins Gina and Lina were also happy.

In this room only aunty Yuan, aunt Nuri, uncle Ben and aunt Pia were left. The four of them were still busy chatting, especially Uncle Ben seemed interested in chatting with Bayu after knowing the man was a soldier.

“So after this where are you going? Play to aunt's house.”

“Still his offer tan, but after this we are going to the top, grandfather Bayu held a family event also there.”

Aunt Yuan nodded in understanding. My eyes caught Aunt Nuri and Aunt Pia chatting not far from my seat. Seeing the finished dish on the table reminded me to pay for it immediately.
