EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 15's

...

There was no clue at all, so I just put the box on the table. Let it. I thought maybe someone would tell me if he gave me flowers.

But until the fourth day I was in this hotel, no one claimed to have given me flowers.

This afternoon I who had finished putting all the items in the suitcase was silent for a moment staring at this square box.

Put them in a suitcase or throw them away? Seeing that the petals had withered, I finally chose to throw them away. Then check once again the items in the hotel room, afraid that something is left behind.

Given how the meeting held for four days and three nights made me miss the atmosphere of the house. Here it is provided delicious food and facilities but still the house is the best place.

I grabbed the phone that was on the table, checked again did Bayu send a message? After talking to her in the hospital, I was so hopeful for her. His words that said if he didn't accept it because I cut off the relationship unilaterally continued to spin. There are several meanings in his words and I'm not sure what they mean.

Bayu hasn't told me since the last time he called me four days ago. Could he be busy? Should I wait for news like this? Then the vibration of the phone signifies there is an incoming message makes my body immediately surprised. I was nervous thinking if it was a message from Bayu.

Wasn't it! It was a message from a company chat group that said we should immediately gather in the lobby for a photo event.

Haish!!

Am I hoping too much?

I exhaled slowly, trying to ignore this feeling.

Drrt…

“Haloo? What's up, Daniel?”

“Ka Icha where? Already home?”

“This is new until home. You haven't slept?”

I opened the door and pressed the light switch next to the door while my hand was busy pulling the suitcase and answering the phone from Daniel.

There was a doubtful murmur on the phone, I frowned not understanding. Moreover, it was rare for Daniel to call me at eleven p.m.

“Ka, eumm-can we talk tomorrow outside?”

Tumben is so eager to meet.

“OK. It just so happens that tomorrow sister is off. See you tomorrow.”

..

…

“Halo Miss!”

I jumped in shock as soon as someone's barithone voice sounded from behind. I who was locking the gate reflexively turned around and was surprised by the presence of this man.

Orihara Rey.

“What are you doing here?!”

“Yeah, how fierce.”

I was no longer afraid of his presence even though the memory of the gun kept spinning in my head. This man was wearing black again from head to toe, was he going to visit the cemetery?

“I want to show you something.”

“No want! I'm busy!!” I just walked past him, this afternoon Daniel and I will meet at a cafe near here.

I don't know why I stopped the move as soon as Bayu's name came out of his mouth. I turned to look at him sharply. Maybe he just wanted to demonize Bayu in front of me, he really hated Bayu.

“Not interested!” I quickly continued my steps but again Rey was walking beside me while smiling mockingly at me.

“Isn't love really blind?”

“APA?!” I glared at hearing it. So he said I was blind?!

But wait, I just remembered that in the hospital Bayu was chasing Rey! Then then it means this man has escaped from the pursuit of Bayu? It's really great that he could show up here without fear that I'd report it.

Without saying anything, I immediately opened the phone intending to contact the police or Bayu, but again

his hand quickly grabbed my phone.

Damnit damnit!!

“What are you doing?!”

“I'll give it back, but you have to hear first what I want to say." Because she was so forced that I listened to her I finally folded my hands over her stomach while looking at her.

Waiting for what he wants to say.

From the outside, I could see a hateful look when he had to force me to listen to him. What Rey obviously came to me was not that she would sympathize with me like the ones in the dramas but she really wanted to show me something that would hurt me.

Sometimes, I can always be sure of reading someone's intentions just from the look in their eyes of a fugitive class like Rey though.

“I know everything. About you and Bayu.”

“Of course people like you will easily get small information like this.” I intended to upset him so that he would immediately ignore me but instead this man smiled disdainfully at me.

Then he handed me some photos. I saw Bayu's face there with a woman. They seemed to be laughing happily with the relaxed atmosphere inside the cafe. Out of curiosity, my hand reflexively accepted it and began to look at the photo sheet.

“This photo was taken yesterday afternoon. The woman was Bayu's girlfriend all this time.”

I looked at him, between believe and not. But can not be denied hearing this is the boyfriend Bayu made my chest cavity suddenly feel tight.

What exactly am I expecting? Isn't it normal for Bayu to have a girlfriend? But his attitude—

“I don't believe and I don't care!” I replied in annoyance as I returned the photos and walked past them.

Again Rey can align her quick steps with me. I try to ignore it.

“Do you not wonder why until now Bayu has not contacted you? Then think about it, I've met you several times at home and in the hospital, why didn't Bayu send his colleagues to watch over you to arrest me? I became a fugitive but look, there's nobody here. I can freely meet you. Shouldn't you be thinking of the possibility of getting there?”

I did not respond, as if there was no one with me.

“Let me give you the answer. Now, you don't think of anything with Bayu's gentle demeanor in the hospital. Just think with logic, do you think men will still like women who

had decided on it unilaterally, then he met the woman again after five years? A great man like Bayu will get his replacement which will definitely be better. I know Bayu, the reason he reappeared before you after five years is because he will take revenge on you.”

“Waahh thank you for voicing the contents of logic. I'm very touched.” Reply meledeknya.

Suddenly Rey's tall body blocked my path, she purposely blocked me. Again I looked at him annoyed.

“You stubborn girl, huh?! You pretend you don't think of me?” I stomped his hand which was arbitrarily pulling my collar.

“If you hate Bayu so much, why bother me? Didn't you just say it yourself that a great man like Bayu would get a better woman than me. Then you should have gone and disturbed that woman instead of bothering me like this! What do you really want from me? Whatever Bayu does, anyone close to him I don't know!!”

“Kau—“
