EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 161

...

“This stupid, selfish, jerk and evil will not bother you anymore.”

“What? But—“

“You yourself didn't say that? I'll go now.”

“No Bayu! I was just an emotion—“

“I will go with Ana and will marry her tomorrow. So I'm asking you to stop loving me.”

“Wood! What the hell are you doing? Why are you asking me to stop loving you??” I sobbed loudly when I saw the figure of Bayu who was already standing in the doorway.

I who lay helpless on this bed of pain could not help it. My body was locked and I couldn't move.

“Goodbye, Icha. I'll forget you and stop loving you.” Her cold voice without feeling hurt my heart to such an extent.

“No! Bayu forgive me! Back!” She smiled a little at me, a cold heartless smile then her figure slowly walked out of this hospital room, my bedroom door closed along with her body that was lost in

turndoor.

I screamed, not expecting the man to leave me.

Didn't expect me to lose him so soon.

Didn't think she was asking me to stop loving her.

I want to run after her, I want to keep her away, I want to pull her back.

.

..

“DON'T GO!!” I screamed and my eyes opened quickly, my breath hunting and my shoulders ached.

The ceiling of the room I knew was still the same. I heard nothing but the sound of a clockwork second.

What was that dream?

I immediately sat up, looking around.

Everything was still the same as the last one I remember, I was still wearing my dress, breakfast on the nightstand, the glass table in front of the sofa is also full of my makeup tools that are screwed but I did not see anyone.

The clock shows at nine in the morning and why is Bayu not here?

Could this dream have been a hunch?

Is it possible that Bayu was really offended by my words earlier and wanted to leave me??

Just thinking about it made my heart beat fast, this feeling of fear of loss plagued me.

Nay! Please don't go! I have to apologize to him! I regret arguing with him!

I moved quickly down from the bed and was about to run towards the closed door of the room but something painful in my right hand stopped my movement.

Now that my right hand was spouting drops of blood, I forgot that I was still using the infusion needle and now it was forcibly removed until my skin was injured.

But I don't care, all I care about now is finding Bayu and apologizing to him. I asked him not to stop loving me. Whether it was a dream or not but my desire to find it

real strong.

I ran barefoot, touched the cold floor and ran along the corridor to the long podium table where the sisters were.

The hallway of the hospital this morning was more crowded, many visitors and hospital staff were here until several times I had to bump into their shoulders and apologize.

When I got to the table, only Sister Lia whom I recognized among the other four sisters looked at me in surprise.

“Suster Lia, do you know where Bayu is??”

Sister Lia looked puzzled, for a moment she glanced at her friends. “Do not know. I—astaga! Miss Icha, her shoulder is bleeding! Looks like the stitches are open.”

I glanced at my left shoulder and right, a drop of blood seeping out of my dress was dripping along my left hand all the way to the tip of my finger. Now the floor I was on was stained with a few drops of blood.

The four sisters started to panic looking at me.

“Hei Icha's. What are you doing here? You should be in room ‘right?” Lifer's voice rang out behind me.

I turned around to find three tall figures staring at me from top to bottom with astonished and worried looks.

Lifer, Ronald and Benny glared at me.

“K—you're bleeding? Oh my God what happened? And why aren't you wearing footwear??” That's Lifer's question again.

“Is there a villain in your room??” Ronald asked.

I nodded quickly and said. “You guys see Bayu?”

It's the only way that not many people get in my way.

I quickly ran down the stairs, ignoring the yells of Benny, Lifer and Ronald who called out to me, ignoring the cold floor that touched the soles of my feet, ignoring the pain from both my hands, ignoring

the sounds of quick footsteps chasing me behind.

My only goal is one, meet that guy quickly.

Apologize to him.

Not letting him out of my life.

I'm freaked out, man,

I also want to cry hard now so that my heart is better.

I don't want that dream to come true.

I did not care about the pain that slowly made my steps slow down and stagger.

I must be strong! I just have to run after him.

Yep! Like that!

I rubbed my wet cheek many times with the back of my right hand that was not stained with blood.

Why at a time like this do I have to cry? Why can't I stop crying?

Oh my god, I love him.

I promise I won't hurt him. Please meet me with Bayu immediately.

My hand squeezed the shirt on my chest, this tightness won't go away. Now my breath hunts between my heartache, hurt by my wounds also because I have run around like this.

“ICHA!! WAIT UP! YOU ARE HURT! DON'T RUN!” I heard Benny yelling closer.

Now my steps have led me out of the emergency exit on the ground floor. Here the people are more and the road before me is also crowded.

There was a kind of long queue and sick people waiting their turn while standing because there were no more seats available.

But I don't care, the main door isn't far in front of me.

I ran into people and muttered an apology at them until my eyes finally found the figure.

Bayu and Stefan's doctor were chatting and they just walked in through the automatically opened glass door.

My sadness is increasingly coming to the surface because it is still biased to see Bayu's face.

What I was experiencing was a dream.

That guy won't just leave me ‘ right?

I sobbed, my tears couldn't stop coming out. My breath was choked and my chest was also tight. It hurts me to call his name.

But Bayu as if aware of my presence, his eyes found me.

His steps stopped and looked at me in shock. Doctor Stefan was also surprised to see me stop his steps.

I don't care about people looking at me for pity right now, my feet just move fast, go faster, erode the distance between us.

I cried as I hit her, hugged her very tightly. Toting wrapped both of my hands around her shoulders, sinking my face around her neck and crying even louder.
