EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 171

...

My daydream was scrapped when I heard the sound of mobile phone vibrations sign of an incoming call. I immediately stared at the screen and found my face there. It's a call from Camila, and she called me in video calling mode.

I smiled a lot, I missed my office friends. Before answering I immediately tidied the patient's hair and clothes for a while and then immediately replied.

“Hai!!” I squealed happily as soon as the phone screen showed Camila's face and several other faces jostling beside her.

“Ohh mother Icha! Really in the hospital? But his face does not seem to hurt?” Camila joked happily to return my big smile.

“Mother?? Please it sounds tickling.” My answer is a long breath. They all rarely call me Mother considering my age the youngest of all, I don't mind if they call me name only. Only in certain formal situations will they call me Icha's mother.

“Mother section chief, how are you? What pain?” That's Rima's question

“Only small sewing wound.”

“Until at sewing? It's me sewing.” I shuddered at the thought of Kiki sewing my wounds.

“That's a wound! Not a shirt!” Although Tiwi's face was not visible on the screen, I heard her answer to Kiki.

“Where's the story until that wound?” This time Bela who asked curiously, took over the phone from Camila's hand.

I grimaced and answered. “Fall. Yesterday there was an event at the top villa. It's nothing now.”

“Eh but by the way what about the work there? Safe?” I asked quickly before they all asked more about the events in the Villa.

“Today has closed, done. Mr. Yudha also helped.” Bela answered my question.

“Oh thanks so.”

“But Mr. Ginanjar is angry because you are on leave again.” Whispering Camila made them all look at her.

“He's upset?”

“When?”

“Where is the anger?” Tiwi, Rima and Kiki are curious about Camila's story.

“Anger-angry under that, earlier I passed also him who is the same rich marketing team ngingetin them to not always leave.” Bela.

“Pak Ginanjar right if angry so nyindir-nyindir like that.” Continue Camila to me.

“Yaah has not been strange anyway angry Mr. Ginanjar emang rich like that.” Reply answered.

“So inget time he was angry in front of us both.” Camila said to me. My reflexes smiled slightly and nodded remembering it.

The incident happened when I was just transferred back from the eastern branch office after helping for six months admin there and back. The atmosphere of the office is hot because the monthly closing and marketing target has not been achieved, Camila who is often in contact with the marketing team was called by Mr. Ginanjar and called me too.

“Yes. He was angry while pounding the table.” I answered.

“Eh, don't talk to Ginanjar sir! Cha, we're calling because we want ngabarin.” Rima interrupted the once gloomy atmosphere.

“We were going to cool down, but the father of OB Dani died this afternoon, the marketing team representative and the service team had left earlier than five. So it seems we are delaying the visit there.”

“Oh yes nothing!! You guys just go as representatives of the admin division, and please convey your condolences from me as well.”

“Oke Cha, may cepet heal cha.” This time Tiwi's face appeared on the screen and smiled gently at me.

I smiled back and nodded. “And don't forget money—”

“Udah set up from small cash, as stipulated.” Bela answered quickly. Once again I smiled with a big smile.

“The plan is when can I get out of the hospital, Cha?” Ask Kiki

“Tomorrow looks like you can go home.”

“Ladies, the car is ready.” It was the voice of Yudha, the women on the screen of this phone simultaneously glanced in the same direction.

“What does Yudha want to do with you?” My guess. Camila nodded and they all started to disperse from the front of the camera, it seemed like it would be sorted out.

“Pak Yudha, this is Icha.” Camila suddenly handed over her phone, for a moment the picture on the screen turned dark until a few seconds later that filled the screen was the man's face.

“No no! It looks like tomorrow we can go home. Yudha, please take care of them. Sorry I seem to trouble you again.”

His cat-like eyes shriveled the more narrow, he smiled broadly at me. “Don't think too much about that here, you should get well quickly. Just relax I'll help them.”

“Yaa, please keep an eye on them yes. If anyone is naughty just report it to me.” I said half joking.

“Icha!! Camila desk keep fighting!” There was the sound of Rima screaming from behind the scenes. Among all the tables is indeed the Camila table that is always tight.

“I've already cleaned it up! Will be neat if it's closing.” It was Camila's defense who was also shouting in the back.

I laughed at it, missing the office.

“ Anyway, if there's anything, you can tell me.” Yudha nodded in response to my words.

“Then, have a good rest. Quickly healed.” Yudha once again.

“Yaa thank you, you guys be careful on the road.” After saying that and getting Yudha's nod, the video call is interrupted.

After the connection broke suddenly I thought about the father of office boy Dani who died. Thinking about my father who is still there even though I know that he is not my real father, but all my life, the father figure I know is him.

Coming back to the fact that my father came back to see me after all these years not to satisfy his longing for me, but because he needed something for me.

I lie if I feel disappointed, but my little heart cannot ignore it either.

Before my mind decided, my body had already moved first. I got down from the bed, put on my sandals and started to step closer to the door not forgetting while pushing the infusion pole in my right hand.

I just remembered on the 6th floor and forgot the number of the ward until I asked for the help of Sister Lia who was on guard to tell me.

Along the way to the 6th floor and the 923rd nursery, I kept thinking about my actions, may I come see? Is it okay for me to visit considering how dad behaves.

If later his wife does not like me and his attitude is the same as father how? I will definitely hate them even more ‘kan?

But if I don't care and hate them back isn't it the same as me?

At least I want to think positively about dad, maybe he's acting so hard because he's in trouble. No one is truly evil.

I had arrived at the door of her room, there were three other names listed beside the door besides Hanna Davindra. On this floor was a common outpatient room that was one room filled by four to six people, in contrast to me that Bayu put me in the VIP room.
