EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 167's

...

I didn't realize I was spending it all. “What's funny if I have a boyfriend? Will be troublesome.”

“Then you want singles for life?!” Tanya Lifer is cold-pitched.

“If you think you will be together for a lifetime with Bayu then you will be disappointed. That kid even wants to get married in two weeks! Whereas Bianca and I were engaged first.” Ronald added that it made my face heat up instantly, embarrassed.

“Not only you, even he stepped over Doctor Stefan who was long engaged to Bora.” The word Lifer reminds Ronald.

“Oh yes! No word yet on when they will get married?”

“Not yet, although it has been over a year engaged but I have not heard anything about their wedding plans.”

“It's just right that my skin feels hot, it turns out that you two are talking about me?!” Doctor Stefan's voice stopped Lifer and Ronald.

I didn't realize since when the man was already standing in the doorway of the room. There was Sister Rini behind him carrying a container of aluminum in her hand.

“Hehehe. We're busted! We just ask.” The Lifer proposal to Ronald. These two men stood up to let Doctor Stefan and Sister Rini walk over to me.

“Oh very good, you ate your breakfast.” Doctor Stefan said it was nice to see the porridge bowl empty.

“Of course, I bribed him!” Ronald was proud.

Doctor Stefan glanced at the sofa, he caught a glimpse of Bayu and Ana. Looking from his sight, he must have been unaware that another woman was chatting with Bayu.

“So how doc, when are you going to marry Bora?” Lifer asked as she raised her eyebrows, teasing this man.

“I accept my defeat on Bayu.”

“Then?” Lifer asked forcefully, she was already standing next to Doctor Stefan and embracing the honey-brown man.

I just smiled, liked to hear their chatter and occasionally noticed Sister Rini who was preparing an infusion needle for me.

“Secapnya.”

“When?”

“Before you and Talia had a child!” Doctor Stefan's reply left Lifer silent for a moment.

“Now, when are you and Talia planning to have a child? You've been married one year.” This time it was Doctor Stefan who asked seduces Lifer.

It was not the sad expression that Lifer showed, but this man was speechless.

“After you and Bora get married.” The answer made me, Ronald and even Benny laugh a little.

Then I felt a small pinch on my right hand, Sister Rini had already inserted the infusion needle near the attached plaster, the wound as a result of me forcing out the previous infusion needle.

“Nona Icha, please do not take off the infusion needle again.” Sister Rini warned me.

I just laughed embarrassedly in response and this time it was Doctor Stefan who replaced this woman beside me.

This man checked my temperature, tuned the infusion droplets, checked my pulse and watched my face. “Is there anything you want?”

“Why do doctors ask?” I don't understand.

“I won't repeat explaining your situation again now because it remains the same as I last said in the ER. But I won't get tired of saying that if you have to take a complete break today, don't be stressed either. Now, what can make you more comfortable to rest?” Doctor Stefan's explanation somehow warms my heart. This guy seems to understand what I want.

I was tired of hearing about the poison. When he wanted to answer, suddenly the sound of quick footsteps followed by the sound of the door closing loudly shocked all of us.

Our reflexes turned towards the door, it was Ana who had exited the room, disappeared behind the door.

Really not polite!

“It's done?? She angry?” Ask Lifer.

Bayu nodded as he walked closer to us. His face was cold and flat.

"I threatened him if he disturbed me again, I would make him regret knowing me.”

“Only that threat? From his behavior alone I'm sure he won't leave just you say it.” Benny asked.

“Indeed no. He got word about his sister who was on vacation in this city arrested by the police for using drugs. His parents wanted him to take care of it quickly so as not to be caught by the media. So she went.”

“Dan??” Lifer raised his eyebrows, the man understood that Bayu had not told him in full.

“And what?”

“That was you?” Benny asked.

“No. I really didn't plan that. During this time of suspension, I felt that my ability in the plan had slowed down somewhat. Hehehe.” Bayu just laughed a little staring at his friends.

I chuckled and said. “True. Last night she also told me that.”

“So Bayu ask for your help facing Ana?” This time, Lifer asked me.

“What you think for sure is how so that when you tell about Ana on Icha does not make her angry ‘kan? Because of that fearful thought you have no plan at all with that woman. You are already weak because of love.” Right said Bayu, among his three friends seemed to be Benny who understood the way of his mind the most.

I saw Bayu's face blushing, an embarrassed expression staring at Benny.

“Shut up! You don't know about love.” The bluff guy.

“Yeah! Bora will definitely taunt you if I tell her this.” Doctor Stefan laughed with satisfaction.

“Before Bora mocked him, I'll tell Talia first what happened here. Later in the day he will come so he will first mocked you.” Tukas Lifer did not want to lose.

Then next came the clamor of the dominating male voice in this room. Looking at Bayu who was laughing, his shy expression and his scolding, he looked happy and comfortable with these friends of his.

Just seeing it like this in front of me, I was happy too. I hope he will always be happy in his life.

“Have stopped! You guys are bothering Icha who wants to rest.” Doctor Lerai Stefan stopped the debate between the four men.

“Not what doc. I prefer a noise like this than a quiet room.” I said quickly.

“How so? Is there anything you want?” Doctor Stefan asked again.

When the atmosphere became quiet, they were watching me now which made me rather nervous.

“You all sit!” Doctor Stefan's orders are aware of my contention.

Submissively, the four men nodded and turned to sit on the sofa. I chuckled because I had never seen those who obediently just like that. Reminds me of a little boy.

Then I looked up to look up again at Doker Stefan. “Looks like I need painkillers, doc. Looks like I just realized that the wound is this painful.”

“We have to take his blood for the test again.” Sister Rini nodded and turned to go according to Doctor Stefan's orders.

“I gave pain medication earlier in the ER. It should have had an effect by now, but you haven't felt it yet?” I nodded answering his question.
