EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episodes 208

...

“What's the matter dear?” Bayu was standing next to me while his hands were busy buttoning his moss green shirt.

“Your neighbors stare suspiciously at them whenever anyone passes.” My answer.

“They were ordered by your father and my father to take care of you until the sky motif in the villa caught.”

“Why just me? You?” I turned to look at Bayu.

At this time we were both in Bayu's room, not expecting when yesterday morning when I visited here I was still his lover's status but this morning I am here as his wife.

Mother and Alisya are not there, they are still in the villa. There's only me and Bayu in this house, even the housemaid is invisible.

After we got here, we did not continue our sleep but I had to prepare breakfast for this man and prepare his uniform while Bayu went to take a bath. I thought the two policemen were just driving us, but when they looked out the window they were still standing in front of the gate with a fierce look.

“I can take care of myself.” His answer was half a sneer. But my eyes were distracted staring at his collar that was still in disarray, clucking softly, both my hands raised in the care of his shirt, putting in his badge and smoothing out the folds on his shoulder.

But my concentration was broken hearing Bayu's long breath. “What's up?”

“I don't want to go to work. This is the first time I've been so lazy working.” Said grimly. Hearing his words, I laughed, my face suddenly heated up.

“I also have to leave for work after dropping you off.” I glanced at the clock at the bedside table, the time showing six o'clock past fifteen minutes, I still had an hour to get ready.

“I can't apply for leave. There's something urgent at headquarters.”

“I also can't always leave.” Balasku but Bayu actually added pout.

“We are one way, ’kan?” I asked for his opinion while grinning silly. Both of Bayu's hands were suddenly under my armpits, raising my body and sitting on the front desk of the bed, where a laptop and table lamp were placed there. I screamed a little when he did that.

“You surprised me!!” I hit his hand when we were already of equal height, his hands were on my side as if he was locking me up. Bayu looked at me with a small smile.

“If the business at headquarters is finished, I will try to go home first before leaving for duty.” It sounded like a promise in my ear.

“I'll wait for you home.”

“And this.” Her hand reached into her pants pocket without taking her eyes off me. I looked down and saw him pull out a small pink thing with a white lid.

“Liptint I used to wear?? You bought that for me?” Ask wonder.

“This special liptint is just for you.” Bayu opened the bottle cap, took out a small brush from it and swept it over my lips. “The color is suitable for you.”

I smiled a little, unable to hide my heated cheeks due to the intense stare like this. My hand immediately took over the thing and I myself put it on my lips.

“I tried it yesterday, when I saw Alisya wearing her lipstick I remembered this for you. Rama once said that his girlfriend always smoothed the color of her lipstick again after eating.”

“Indeed right because the thing that must be brought is lip moisturizer. Have you tried it?” I was wondering, imagining Bayu wearing his own liptint on his lips.

“I mean, like licking it. Tastes sweet.” I hit his hand with a loud laugh.

“You licked this?! Really licking? Why lick it!”

“I'm just curious.” I still shook my head against the innocent-looking Bayu.

“If you are curious, why not say. You can try it like this.” I pulled her shoulder closer and kissed her lips, took a moment and let go. “How?”

There appeared a mischievous grin on his face but his tongue licked his own lips and replied. “Sweetest.”

I couldn't hold my laughter and was about to jump down but Bayu held me back and said as well. “Can't! You still have another lipstick, ‘kan? I'd like to try also.”

.

..

“The plan is that I will take you, why are you the one who takes me?”

“Our part is unidirectional, your shoulder still hurts, of course I have to pay attention to this wife.” Bayu said softly as his black jeep set me up in front of the company building.

“Nothing is left behind, ‘kan?” I asked again to make sure, the article was before the car came out of the gate, Bayu had twice returned to the house to take what was left behind. Something I just found out about her, she said it was usually Kirana's mother who reminded.

“Nothing, everything is complete.” The answer is a small smile.

“Well if so, you be careful on the road, do not speed.”

“Ready! And you don't work too hard either. Remember your shoulder is injured.”

“They wouldn't dare to sue me too hard if I saw me like this.” I replied pointing to my left hand wearing the black Arm sling Harness that Doctor Stefan gave me, I must wear this as one of the conditions Bayu allowed me to start working today.

“All right, see you.”

“Wait a minute.” Bayu held me back as I was about to open the car door, turning to glance at him, I stared in wonder.

“Give me a hug.” He said as he spread out his hands, welcoming me.

Without refuting, I smiled slightly and immediately hugged her, raising my right hand around her shoulder, leaning my head on the side of her head and inhaling the fragrance of her body deeply.

“I'll miss your hug.” The whisper sounds like a daydream. I frowned in surprise and immediately withdrew, releasing our embrace.

“Why? Didn't you just say you were going home after the business at headquarters was done?”

“Yes, that was the plan, but I was hooked to hug you.” Bayu. So again without much rebuttal, I went back into his arms, this time Bayu hugged me tighter, wrapped my body with his hands, the feeling of letting go of his embrace the more I wanted to refuse, I still want to be like this for a little longer.

Before letting go of our embrace, Bayu rubbed the top of my head and his soothing body fragrance was now gone.

“Alright, I have to leave.”

“Cable me.” I said the one in Bayu. Then I smiled back nodding and immediately opened the car door, got out slowly from inside the car and closed the door. As I expected, the car door window opened and once again Bayu smiled widely and waved at me.

I waved back and smiled broadly at him, my hand still raised as his black jeep drove away from the parking lot.

PRANGS!!

When the car that Bayu brought had joined another car on the highway, a loud noise from inside the company building shocked me. I glanced quickly at the origin of the sound, seeing Dani, the office boy was looking down picking up broken glass not far from the main door of the building.

“Dani, what's wrong? Why broke?” Asked Ronald, the security guard who stood guard while squatting helped Dani clean up the broken glass. I walked up to them to see what was happening.

“This bottle of drink will be put in front, but it did not accidentally fall.” Obviously Dani looked timid as his eyes caught me who was near them.

Now I can clearly see the broken glass scattered near the door, the glass bottle green. Suddenly there was a speck of invisible pain in my chest cavity.

A feeling of unease penetrated until my skin creeped, my head quickly turned to the last place I saw Bayu's black jeep car disappear. I know, this hard-to-explain feeling has to do with that guy.

Hopefully he will be fine, of course he can take care of himself, as he said this morning. Yes—I don't think too much about the uncertain.
