EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 224

...

“What do you think? Who does he mean?” I asked Bayu when we got out of the car with Zac who had stepped inside the house, leaving Bayu and me outside.

“Do not worry. I'll check it out.” I nodded at my husband's answer. Her raised hand rubbed the top of my head, and her little smile made me calmer.

“Come in. It's midnight and about my plan before we go, better tomorrow.” Continuing to embrace my shoulder while tucking my forehead, my reflexes hugged his waist and into his embrace.

The hug is really warm and comfortable.

We both stepped into the house of Bayu's parents, and now most of the lights inside were turned off. Zac opened the door for us and Bayu took me straight to the second floor,

towards room.

.

..

…

My eyelids slowly opened as I heard the sound of such a loud heartbeat in my ears. I blinked to focus my gaze when the first thing I saw was the ceiling of the room.

Regular breaths hit the top of my head, I looked up to realize that the heart and breath sounds I heard were coming from Bayu.

I forgot for a moment that I have a husband now. This room was his and now my head is asleep on his chest.

Next to Bayu's hand wrapped around my back and his other hand was lying helplessly on his side.

Slowly but surely I got up and sat down, not wanting to wake her up. Then my eyes glanced at the clock at the small bedside table, the time indicating five o'clock in the morning, meaning we only slept less than five hours.

Because the air was also very cold and to be honest I was still sleepy, I went back to lie next to this man and got closer to him, it made her a little piqued and her hoarse voice sounded sexy in my ears.

“Honey, Boo, what time is it?”

“Jam five morning.”

I looked up and saw that he had opened his eyes, staring daydreamingly at the ceiling of the room.

“We must wake up.” I frowned at his statement that sounded unwilling to be rebutted.

“Why? I'm still sleepy.” I answered while hiding my face in his chest, hoping that in this way he would not force me.

“Morning sport.”

“Hah?”

Suddenly Bayu got up to sit up who with new strength woke up his sleep while holding me also with him.

“For our body to be healthy, exercise it must.” He continued, looking at me seriously.

“But I'm still sleepy!” I leaned back on her shoulder, the still cold air made me not want to get out of bed. Then I felt Bayu kiss my left shoulder that was still wrapped in clothes.

Remembering about his promise of going to kiss that stitch wound after we got married, making my heart beat fast, I suddenly became nervous.

But before I launched my protest, I was shocked that one of her hands she had wrapped around my waist and easily lifted me up to get out of bed. I screamed stifled between shock and protest but Bayu just chuckled softly.

Finally this morning, I had no choice but to follow him for sports outside.

“No!! I'm already cape!—

“New three rounds.”

“I wait here.” My breath was severed when I had just finished running three rounds of this complex while Bayu, he looked still very excited and powerful.

This man clucked and did not force me, he turned around, running back at full speed while shouting. “Wait there. I'll be right back.”

“Use your time!” I shouted back and got a glance from Bayu before he disappeared at the front turn.

Without waiting any longer I who was already in front of the park bench immediately sat there, putting the drinking water on my right side then taking out a small towel from my jacket pocket to dry my sweaty face and neck.

Apparently, not only me and Bayu who have morning sports, many of the people of the Bayu home complex are also sports, some are running, some are jumping rope. Of course, this kind of environment is cool for morning exercise.

I glanced at the black watch on the left wrist, the time was already showing at six o'clock past fifteen, considering today I will be permission not to enter work, he said, so I was immediately busy with my phone to inform other colleagues in the office.

Remembering about Camila, I had to come to her house, to see her. Last night was a surprise. Never thought that Camila's husband could leave so soon.

And as I expected, our group chat was immediately filled with sayings do’a for Camila's husband.

I didn't realize how many minutes it was cool to reply to messages on my phone as footsteps approached me.

“This.” I handed the bottled drink to Bayu who was already standing before me as I looked up at him.

Bayu received the bottle from me, unscrewed it, drank the contents and returned back to the cool stretch before sitting next to me.

“It feels like a long time no running here.” He said he was busy wiping his sweaty face with a towel around his neck.

“Indeed usually where?” I asked, keeping my phone back in my jacket pocket and staring completely at Bayu.

“Usually we exercise every morning at the border while on guard.” The answer.

“By the way, what time is it? Comeing! I'll take you to work.” Bayu stood up while looking at me.

Oh yea! I haven't told her that I agreed to accompany her today. But before I answered, the vibration of the phone in the jacket pocket decided my gaze from him.

‘Daddy Evano’ listed on mobile screen,

“Halo.”

“Halo Cha's. Good morning.”

“Pagi.”

“Today you don't have to work. I heard Bayu was allowed a day off before returning to duty. I'll help you excuse the central personnel, but can you come see me later?”

“Oh? Okay. But well, can't you just mention that I'm—eumm someone you know?” I'm careful to be afraid to touch her.

There was a long pause before Dad answered. “Good. We'll talk later when we meet.”

“Yes. See you later.” After hearing Evano's father's reply, our phone connection was cut off.

I've realized that Bayu is looking at me, from his face I know that this man wants to know my reason about me who does not want the office people to know that I am actually the son of Evano's father. A successful businessman.

“During this time the company has been developed by the Danendra family, they became successful business people because of their efforts. I feel it's not my right. Anyway, I want to avoid being the gossip material in the office.”

“Of course!” Bayu nodded quickly.

I looked at him suspiciously. “What?”

“No! It was very—wise.”

“I take that as a compliment.” We both threw silly laughs at each other.
