EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 186's

...

“I've got a good EO recommendation. They also work fast, maybe we just need to draft an invitation and choose a theme. I don't really matter what your choice is.”

“You won't join choose?” Ask wonder.

Bayu frowned looking thoughtful. “I got a new EO recommendation this morning, tomorrow they will meet you to talk about everything while I tomorrow have started work, remember?”

“So you fully trust my choice?”

“Of course! I'm sure you'll choose the best.” He replied in a soft tone while rubbing the top of my head.

I smiled wide at him. If he's been acting like this I can't argue anymore. “Alright, I'll do my best.”

“Mother will accompany also.” It calms me more.

“But before that, I also have to talk about my real family to your family. We should have another family meeting with them.”

“Really! But unfortunately, I think for more than a week later I will be busy and not have time to go home.” Said pouting.

I pouted and said. “So? So the reason you brought me here today is because we won't meet for more than a week?”

Bayu nodded without changing the expression of his face which made me laugh. He looks very funny with his lips curved down, cheeks that are also shriveled down, as well as a shrunken forehead.

My reflex touched his forehead, rubbing gently with my thumb finger to remove the wrinkle. “Only by hearing you will be busy, I have started to miss you.”

“You're teasing me, eh?” Bayu smiled happily, this time with both hands hugging my back until I was pulled closer to him.

My hand that originally touched his forehead started to come down to touch the side of his face. Looking directly into his eyes, before I answered, he already said. “Even one day without you should not!”

I couldn't help but the corner of my lips that lifted up formed a wide smile for her. But her loving gentle expression receded in place with an astonished and inquiring expression, her hand caught my hand touching the side of her face for her to hold tightly.

“Hot hand. I've guessed you still have a fever because of that wound.” My reflexes pulled my hand from her and touched my cheeks and forehead.

I haven't had time to say what I was thinking, Bayu has already pulled me to sit by his bedside. The gray bedcover that felt soft touched my palm.

“Now you rest first here.”

“But I haven't greeted mother.”

“Mother is busy, just later!” Bayu forced me to lie down.

“Tapi—“

“Mother definitely understands you just got out of the hospital. I will accompany you here until you fall asleep.”

“Bee, rest it 'do not always have to lie down to sleep.” I said, I can no longer dodge when I'm lying down and Bayu will cover me.

“But the definition of rest for me is sleep.” He's still in the thick of it.

“It's still morning!”

“Yes! Long morning for you!”

“I'm not sleepy!”

“You will fall asleep immediately after closing your eyes.” Bayu was still arguing with me when I was already completely under the covers. This man held my motion after covering me to the chest, his hands holding the blankets from both sides of my body.

“I'm not cold! Don't have to go like this.” I tried to escape but all I got was a brief kiss on my forehead.

I suddenly fell silent and looked at him sharply. “Searching for opportunities in narrowness, huh?!”

“I would love if I had to get a chance like this to kiss you.” Bayu smiled mischievously which made me even more want to scream annoyed. Shame and feeling defeated.

“Yes, how creepy my girlfriend's gaze is!” Bayu is still teasing me, ignoring his sharp glare is already extra maximal.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Mother was already standing in the doorway, clucking at Bayu who was looking back at her, I smiled widely very happy. “Mother!! Bayu bothers me keep.”

“Boo, you want to prank me so I turn around and you can run away when I'm off guard.” What's wrong with this guy? Bayu still smiled silly at me, not believing that Mother was now moving right behind him.

“Bad boy!”

“Aw aw aw..

Mother pulled Bayu's ear until this man let me go, at first he would protest but after standing facing Mother, his expression changed asking for forgiveness to be released. I immediately got up and came to stand beside Bayu with a satisfied smile looking at him.

“Mother, please release. Bayu's ears can come off!”

“In search turned out to be here trying to bully Icha, huh?”

“B—not bun, Bayu just want Icha to sleep here because his body has a fever again.” After hearing Bayu's explanation, mother let go of this man's ear and glanced at me quickly.

“Foam?”

“That's as bad as you think bun, just a little hot.” I quickly shook my head so that this woman would not panic.

Mother approached me and touched my forehead. “Hmm.. Yes it's a little feverish, you should rest first here.”

“But bun, Icha here has not greeted mother instead in order to rest.” I said embrace Mother's hand and stand beside her, intending to avoid Bayu if there will be a 2nd arrest of her.

Mother smiled widely and then embraced my shoulders carefully. “More queues, nothing, you rest first. Later we chat-chat.”

“Liar Icha auxiliary—“

“No no! There's an aunt downstairs. You are here first, you want to bring this bad boy down first to help lift the gallon of water.”

“Nothing bun, let's Icha help under.” I pulled your hand, indeed at this time I do not feel like taking a break. Mother and Bayu no longer refute when I pull them down.

…

It was late in the afternoon when I just saw Bayu again today after Mother told him to lift a gallon of water this morning. Since then the man was busy round-trip taking care of some small children who came to the house.

Among them they were if not cousins, some of the neighboring children who came to play. I was also busy helping my mother cook and clean up after her show.

My eyes glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the living room, showing a three-valve clock. While waiting for the mother who was said to be bringing snacks and drinks, since my eyes were staring out the window, in the front yard of the house I could see the figure of the man was in the crowd of five small children. Something in Bayu's hands caught all of their attention.

“Sorry yes cha, new Mother can nemenin You also so must help Mother earlier.” Suddenly Mommy comes with a tray containing two glasses of cold orange water and some sweet food.

I shook my head and smiled while helping Mother lift the glass from the tray. “Engga nothing bun, Icha also seneng ko, here rame.”
