EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 220's

...

“My personal details—”

“What's in your jacket pocket??” Sela Alisya was impatient, staring at the bulging jacket pocket. Zac and the man with him immediately stood before us.

Even though it was night but the streets were still quite crowded, so I thought this man would not do anything, or maybe it was a coincidence that he was a stranger passing by? But I heard his voice somewhere.

“Nothing! Now I'm really mad that a stranger thinks I'm a stalker!” He said in an angry and stern voice.

Alisya glanced at me who was answered by my head.

“Sorry. I'm too rash. Please go ahead.” This girl scratched her head wrongly, putting away the two men who were in front of us in order to make way for the man.

Then he said nothing more and walked in jerks as he passed us all.

“But I actually know that he's been stalking us since the department store. My experience with people who have been following me for the past few weeks has made me more sensitive to the situation around.” Alisya was clear to me.

We were all still staring at the back of the man who was slowly moving away and started to disappear among the people around us.

“But I seem to have heard his voice somewhere. But I forgot.” I muttered softly, trying to find that voice in my memory.

The man is shorter than Bayu, his body is skinny and—wait a minute!

I remember now!

“Dia! I know who he is!” I screamed excitedly which invited the gazes of the three people around me.

“That voice! That's the voice of the village chief's son in the place I was—what is he doing here?” My spirit tone at the beginning changed in astonishment at the end of the sentence. As I recall, the boy should have been checked out for being a vigilante for Alfred's group, the group that makes illegal weapons.

But suddenly the other memories in the villa seemed to wake me up to something, is it possible that the weapon we found in the villa was one of Alfred's weapons?

“Better we go home soon.” Zac. Without much to say, we all went back on our way home.

***

Along the way I did not say much and only heard the debate between Alisya and Zac. The subordinates of Evano's father were the same, he was quiet but often glanced back, wary if anyone followed

our.

My mind was filled with conjectures about all the events I've been facing lately. My usual life full of drama seems to turn genre into action. I would love to discuss this with Bayu, asking

things got me curious, but considering we were in a cold war, I didn't know where to start to get better with it.

The mixed feelings of annoyance and worry made me misbehave before him. I have to learn to throw away this habit, we're married, we should talk about it.

“Loh? Sis Bayu is here??” Alisya's voice broke my daydream, I looked up and met the sight of Bayu who was already standing two meters in front of us.

“Surely wait for sister's wife.” His reply glanced at Alisya at a glance but he walked over to me.

I know, Alisya and Zac throw one another a look and smile at each other.

“Then, we go first.” Pamphit the girl.

Now Bayu is in front of me, he looks at me full of probing and I just realized when staring at the departure of four people behind Bayu that we have not reached the front of the house, but it is in the middle of the road, between two

a different path.

“What's up?” I looked up, looking back at him.

“You're still mad at me?” I frowned, thought for a while and then shook my head.

“Then did you miss me?” Once again I frowned in surprise, suddenly Bayu asked that.

“Why is the answer long?”

“Because I'm confused you suddenly asked that—or don't-don't-don't? You want to tease me?” I asked suspiciously which Bayu replied with a slow pang of pangs. I haven't seen him laugh like this in a long time.

“I came here because I liked you more when you were not around and it turns out your life is still threatened.” He said as I thought.

I finally smiled at him while starting to wander spoiled on his right side. “What did Zac report to you about the man Alisya thought was following us?”

This man nodded, then he grabbed my shoulder with his right hand and took me walking with him on a different path to Alisya earlier.

“By the way we're going?”

“This path can penetrate to our home.”

“Really? But aren't we going to stay at your master's house?”

“Yes. We'll just look inside for a second, there's a lot of yours in there. Oh yes and how are you? What did the man do?”

“Nothing. But I recognize his voice. He was the son of the village chief when Alfred happened. You remember?”

“You sure it's him?” Bayu lowered his head, frowning unconvinced.

“Yes. Their voices were similar, as was his posture. But he should have been put on hold ‘kan?”

“Yes! Lifer and Ronald caught it, remember?” But before I could react, suddenly the vibration of my phone broke our concentration. Without looking first at the screen, I immediately bring the phone closer to the ear and automatically answer the call without having to touch the green button.

“Halo.”

“Hiks Icha.

“Camila?” I frowned at the sound on the phone

“What's up?” I started to worry about hearing her sobs.

“Dia—dia injured. Dimas injured.”

“Where are you now? I'll be there.” I said I decided to go see her hearing her cry grow louder.

Although answering in a hoarse and unclear voice, but I can hear clearly before closing the phone.

“What's up?” Bayu asked looking at me in wonder.

“My friend is in the hospital, I have to get there now.”

“Then it is, we better use motor.” Answer without asking much. I nodded and followed him back towards the house.

…

I half ran when I entered the hospital in the east of the city when Bayu had parked his motorbike. This guy also ran after me to the ER section.

It was not difficult to find Camila as the woman was visibly standing back and forth in front of the door amid three people sitting waiting. But when I walked quickly to get to her, the ER door opened following a mattress that was pushed from the inside by two sisters.

I stopped my steps and just looking at the situation there, Camila who screamed as the two sisters pushed the stools closer to her, said the woman, the three people who were sitting waiting got up and they all sobbed around the bench.

My eyes caught a glimpse of the face of someone lying stiff there, his pale face looking calm even though his body was shaken by Camila. The doctor exited the ER door and with a concerned look on his face he spoke

on those people.

“Hiks Dimas! Why did you leave me so soon?? Why did you leave so suddenly? You must wake up and tell me!! COME WAKE!!!” Seeing that woman crying hysterically made my throat suddenly hurt.

I never expected to see this painful scene, Camila's screams and sobs as if to be a sharp knife that slowly injured my chest cavity, making me want to cry as well.
