EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 156's

...

“Stop teasing me! So since you've been thinking what would you do if Ana met you again?” Bayu nodded.

I sighed softly and moved, sat down on the side of the mattress and pulled this man's hand to stand up. “Do not like this, let's stand.”

“What do you think after hearing me lost memory and—“

“There's love.”

“What?” Bayu got up and sat on the side of the bed, facing me.

My hands were raised, touching her hair and gently stroking the sides of her head like she used to do to me. “What you explain, I can feel there is always love there for me, whether you lose memory or not.”

“Really? You're not angry?”

“What am I angry for? I'm just glad you want to tell me this, it means you believe me. Thank you.” I smiled broadly which made Bayu smile back at me.

“Yeah, you always make me fall in love for the umpteenth time.” Bayu muttered, his sparkling eyes staring straight into my eyes, it made me nervous.

I chuckled softly, with full confidence I said. “Now tell me what Ana did after you said you wanted to keep her distance?”

“On that day I said I wanted to keep my distance, Ana said that without my friends' knowledge, we were dating. I never saw him again and he said he was busy with his family business. But, after my memory came back, I knew that Ana was lying. Even if we pretended to be dating on duty, I always kept my distance and I never gave her hope. I maintain our relationship that is only between clients. He's been calling me a lot these past few weeks, but I totally ignored him!” Bayu exclaimed at the end after seeing my eyes narrowed suspiciously at him.

“When my memory returns, I have informed his family of my condition because they always ask me for news and feel guilty about me. Maybe Ana heard from her family a few weeks ago so she called me. Said she wanted to come see me and according to Benny's investigation, Ana was

on the way here from japan.” I was still thinking, still digesting what Bayu explained.

“If he really likes you, why would he just leave you and now he'll be back?”

Bayu. “I don't know either, but from the results of Benny's investigation, Ana is taking care of her family's business matters.”

“So what do you want to do?”

“I don't know. My plan was just to get here, trying to tell you about it and not make you angry.” Bayu replied with his innocent face. I refrained from yelling at him.

“Only that? Then what would you do if Ana came here?”

“I didn't expect him to come here so I just plan on saying again our relationship is nothing more than a client and all this time we were just pretending for the sake of duty. I'll also scold him for lying, say we were dating when I lost my memory! Isn't that his name utilizing?!” This man's face looked upset.

“Then?”

“What else? Ohh—I would also say that I already have a wife! I think it's enough.”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Women instincts only.”

“Then, I will introduce you to him so that he believes even though I originally did not want you to get involved with him.”

“It won't be enough either.”

Bayu sighed tiredly. “So what else should I do?”

Bayu just frowned. “What do you want to do? Please don't tell me you're going to kick it—“

“Hahahah. Nah! Of course not! I wouldn't kick like that on a woman who doesn't fight.” I laughed so hard I made my shoulder hurt.

Bayu touched my left arm softly because he saw me who suddenly grimaced softly. “Cautious.”

“You know, such a woman will definitely ignore my presence and no matter you already have a boyfriend or not.”

“Really? Then what's your plan?”

“If indeed she is the type of woman who as I thought, recana first I will make her realize my presence first.”

“Good. Since you trust me, I will let you be his captain. Just tell me what you need as long as you can make it not bother me.” Bayu raised his hand, I could finally feel another soft pat on the top of my head.

“So you are now my men, ‘kan?”

“Of course.”

“Then, tell me the results of your investigation all this time about him. The old until the latest!”

“Good captain! I'll email you!” I laughed hearing that.

“Then, why are you just telling me now? Is it because Ana is coming?”

“I feel Ana is not an important issue, because I've been fine and I also completely forgot about her so I didn't tell her from the beginning. But yesterday Benny told me that Ana was on her way to see me, and the first thing I thought about was how you wouldn't get angry after I told her. I used to want to give you a gift but it turns out you're a very nice and understanding woman so—“

“Gift?? You want to give me a gift to bribe me??”

“Yaa although I know a gift is not something that can make you not angry anymore, but that is all I thought.”

I looked at this man, shriveled and still in disbelief. “You know, after hearing all this I never tried to imagine someone like you would be so honest with me. Most men out there will definitely cover up the matter and just give a brief explanation then say they themselves will

take care of it, tell her woman not to worry.”

Bayu smiled little. “I'm not like the guy out there. Besides, I just want to be honest and trust you a.”

Now I'm the one who chuckles at hearing the answer. Flattered. “And also, what do you mean ‘someone like me’ earlier?? What do you imagine about me, huh?”

I laughed more and more in the face of a curious and confused Bayu like this. She looks even more adorable.

But I immediately touched his hand, grasped it while my eyes could not be separated staring into his eyes, his round blackish lens looking clear. His long eyelashes blinked a few times, his sharp nose, his eyebrows, his lips, even the strands of hair that fell on his forehead did not escape

my attention.

“It was too hard and tiring, come to me. No matter what happens and no matter what it is, I will still like you all my life.” My whisper gently then approached her and gave a brief peck on her left cheek.

The corner of his lips and cheeks Bayu lifted, his eyes narrowed, his smile successfully lit me.

But, our gazes were distracted when we heard the sound of mobile phone shakes from Bayu's pocket. He immediately reached out to her and for a moment looked at the screen, reading the name that contacted her at night.

“This Benny.” He said the phone was heard clearly by me too.

“Halo.” Bayu did not move from his sitting position when he answered the call.
