EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 252

...

My daydreams were scrapping as my phone vibrated, the incoming call made the flashlight flicker which made the atmosphere even more frightening.

Number not known.

My heart beats so fast, I know, I shouldn't have answered this call, which fool called me so early in the morning? If it were anyone I knew, they should have known at a time like this most likely their call would not have been answered because it was a good night's sleep.

“Halo.”

“I was one of the victims of your husband's selfishness. He can get his position now for fomenting the man I love, sacrificing innocent little people, even sacrificing small children to suicide.” Okay. It's a woman's voice.

“What do you mean? Who are you?” I had to hold my breath hearing all of that talk at the opening of the conversation. Not a good thing.

“I'm sure you've heard of this before, has Bayu not told you about the bombing terror event at the abandoned factory, the suburban building?”

Suddenly the memory was like a dazzling light flame in this dark room.

“Icha, you should know how bad this guy is. He's so cruel! During a bomb attack on a suburban building, he puts innocent little people in jail! Even he had the heart to catch a ten-year-old little boy, he was in a hurry to assign a suspect and did not double-check. The result was that the child committed suicide because he was accused in the terror plot even though there was a lot of evidence to say the child was innocent.” As Robert said, the night I slapped him so hard that my right wrist sprained.

The sweet and elegant laughter forced me to listen back, the woman on the phone seemed to have guessed that Bayu had not told me that.

“Really! He won't tell you because it's a shame.”

“You turned off the electricity of this villa, yes ‘kan?”

“Of course. I had to distract your husband in order to talk to you. If only he hadn't come, I wouldn't have had to play villa electric at your place.”

“So... are you a coward?”

“What?!” His calm voice collapsed instantly replaced with a muffled angry emotion.

“You only talked to me when Bayu was not near me.”

“Not that our talking point.” He hissed dangerously as if ready to pounce on me at any moment.

“Oh yes of course.” I tried to sound cheerful and calm, but in fact my heart felt banged on my chest harder. He must have planned something “I can clearly guess your plan. You want me to get hooked on what you said earlier, you want me to hate Bayu and start looking into the case. Behind this phone threat of yours, are you planning something dangerous for me? But what are you thinking? This is Danendra.” family villa

“My business is not there! Don't worry, the one who wants revenge on your family has moved.” Its bad. So he and his accomplices did something here and out.

“Oh yes? So where?”

“I am here, where I will make Bayu feel double the guilt of accusing the wrong person. If you're not fast, I can't guarantee he'll survive.”

“Job!” I don't like the word feel double the guilt “you just scared me, why should you do it now? Why haven't you been terrorizing me these past few days? At that time Bayu was not there.”

“This is not the time for me to tell stories. If I were you, I'd be looking soon. Bye then. Hahaha.” Then the connection is cut off.

So he's trying to look cool, call me full of threats, end up with his scary laugh? Huh! Really crazy people!

I need to find Bayu immediately. Even though it felt like my heart was still pounding in my chest, I took a quick step towards the door. My trembling hand opened the doorknob but stopped as soon as I remembered what he said. The guy with a grudge against Danendra's family is on the move? Maybe there's a bad guy running around inside the villa while I'm looking for Bayu and that guy's gonna kidnap me?

No no!

This is not the time to think about it. I have to get out looking for help. But when I tried to turn the doorknob, it couldn't be opened. Check if I locked the door, but I didn't. Finally all I thought about was banging on my own bedroom door to get out, it was ridiculous.

My finger quickly touched her contact number and called immediately. In the first ring, the operator answered, saying that the man was busy with another call. Try again for the second, third, and fourth times but stay the same.

Fortunately, when I was about to call the fifth time, the voice at the door distracted me. The sound of someone shifting heavy items, before long the door of my room was opened from the outside.

“Icha.” Before my flashlight aimed at the person in front of it, Bayu's voice had already greeted me first.

I let out a sigh of relief and immediately ran into his arms. “You are here.”

“OK. I'm going there now.” He wasn't talking to me when I realized that his right hand was holding a cell phone in front of his ear. His free left hand returned my embrace.

After he dropped his phone, Bayu lowered his head and kissed my cheek. It's dark but I'm sure my face is blushing.

“You're great darling.”

“What?” I pulled back looking at him not understanding.

Bayu turned on flashlight mode with his phone until now the situation is vague and I can look at his face. He's very handsome. I'm off the mark.

He pulled me out of the room, closed the door and pushed back the small closet to block the doorknob. “What are you doing?”

“Traps.”

“Hah?”

Bayu grabbed my hand and took me walking with him leaving the room. “That woman, who just called you is Luc's wife. We were looking for him and managed to figure out his position because you were stalling to talk to him, Lifer just told me. From what I heard, she targeted you, scared you because we had managed to catch her husband yesterday.”

From all the points, I was happy, it turns out that the woman called me because the man named Luc has been arrested, the name that Rasha's father had mentioned before at home.

“You, mad at me because I didn't tell you about Luc?” The question sounds slow and careful.

I'm shaking. “I see, your missions must be secret.”

“Then, what did he tell me—tentangku...” Bayu directed me to the main door of the villa. “you did not suspect me?”

“Let's talk again, do they need you somewhere?”

“Yes. I have to go to join Luc's wife's arrest. I'll be back in a minute.” We've reached the door I just realized that I haven't found anyone since, Danendra's family and even the villa clerk.

“A minute?”

“She is near here.” Suddenly the fine fur on my arm seemed to be standing up, realizing he was so close to us made me a little worried.

“What is his house really near here?”

“No.” I could see Bayu's jaw hardening which instantly made me deduce something.

“Is he here because he follows... me?” This man did not reply, he glanced at me with his own sufficient silent gaze in response.

“So right, he followed me here.”

“Sorry for having to involve you in this situation.” Bayu's grip on my hand hardened.

I remember the woman's words about Bayu's remorse. On top of everything he told me, I was more worried about the impact of this incident on my husband.
