EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 256's

...

“No! I will not involve anyone in order to bear danger for me. You better give me that poison.” Grandma Nella's voice couldn't make me feel better.

“Tell me where the explosion was?” I looked at him with all the anger I had, hoping that he would tell me.

“Sweet, if your husband dies, I'm ready to replace him.”

“DIAM!” I roared angrily hearing the fat man being guarded by one of the policemen start talking.

“Receive this and I will answer it.”

“Icha no! We have to make sure first.” Dad came up to me, holding both my shoulders to look at him but part of me was gone when I heard about Bayu.

“You guys, check there.” Dad ordered his security team to check. The three men nodded and immediately ran away.

“On the count of three, if you don't want to accept this, I'll stab Nella.” The threat this time looks more real because his hand is trying to strangle grandma from behind.

Everyone started to panic again, two policemen had already pulled out their pistols, pointed them at the perpetrator.

“One!!” He shouted to control the situation again.

“Two!!” I panicked, actually not wanting to act infusively but my legs started to move forward.

“Icha!” Dad, Uncle Kenzo, even aunt Kenzie called me.

“Ti-”

“I accept! Now release granny.” I had already run over, forcibly releasing the hands that were holding me.

“No boy! Don't sacrifice yourself for me. I will never accept it!” Grandma looked at me angrily but I ignored her and immediately grabbed the small glass bottle from her hand.

“Drink first and I'll release it.” She smiled a little at me.

“Icha! Don't be stupid!” Aunt Kenzie screaming.

I closed my eyes for a moment, Bayu's face flashed in my memory, she was charming and cool. His face has a sulky look that always makes him labeled a dissident but instead he is a special forces member named phonex and captain in the team.

Nah!

Bayu won't leave me like this. He must have gone through a lot more dangerous tasks than this, he must have survived! I have to believe he'll be careful. He is a talented and smart man.

Yep!

Of course it's like that. This woman only scares me, the person behind her actions must want me to have a tragic story.

What if after I drank this poison Bayu still survived, found me dead and the man willingly harmed himself. Does he think it's romeo and juliet?

“Drink now or-” He presses his knife on grandma's neck which instantly drops from back out of there.

I frantically unscrewed this small bottle, the people behind me shouting that even Grandma was also cursing at my stupid actions.

At least if there's a negotiation option, I have to take it. So with a quick movement, I gulped the liquid in the bottle into my mouth. The next second everyone ran up to me.

In such a stormy atmosphere, the police did not waste it to snatch the perpetrator after loosening his grip on grandma's neck.

Seeing grandma back in Grandpa's arms makes me feel relieved. Dad held onto both of my shoulders, his face worried, before I responded to their commotion, a big dark blue sport bike stopped near us.

He's comin! He survived!

“Toooooooo!” The middle-aged woman who was being handcuffed by the police screeched happily because her plan was successful.

“He has taken his poison.” Uncle Kenzo looked at Bayu concerned.

Bayu glared in disbelief, from his sweaty face, I guess he must have come straight here after the woman who called me earlier was caught.

PLAKK!!

The sound of a loud slap shocked us all.

Nella's grandmother was in front of the woman, her breathing seemed to hunt, her jaw was clenched and her eyes were as vengeful as lasers to kill.

“Women don't know thank you! I already consider you my family. Look, you and your family will regret it. Wherever you and your family run away! I'll find him!”

“Honey, don't say that in front of the police.” Grandpa approached, half joking to assuage his wife's anger but Nella's grandmother ignored him.

I saw a drop of blood coming out of the corner of the perpetrator's mouth. Yes, perpetrator! Even his name I don't know.

“I was forced to do this mistress-”

“Don't call me anymore, I won't hear my name coming out of your mouth!” Grandma glanced at me for a moment and went back to the perpetrator to say “even though the boy was stupid but he was the first granddaughter of the Danendra family! Anyone looking for trouble with Danendra's family, I'll make him regret it!”

“Icha, how do you feel? Where does it hurt? We have to get to the hospital.” Bayu's voice shifted my gaze to her, originally the father who was in front of me, now Bayu who replaced her.

I pushed him quickly as this man was about to hug me.

“Icha, I'm sorry. Please tell me which one hurts?” Bayu was heartwarming, pleading, his voice was trembling and his eyes seemed to be glazed.

I had no time to respond, turned around and ran quickly to look for the trash.

Ten meters of big trash cans by the roadside became my goal. I ran as fast as I could but what sucks was that Bayu had caught up with me with light steps as if my fast running rhythm was nothing to him.

I pushed him half annoyed half amused at his worried expression, he might think I wanted to leave him but it wasn't like that.

As soon as I got to the front of the trash can, I immediately spewed out the liquid that was in my mouth. Of course I'm not that stupid to swallow poison right away, from the corner of my eye, Bayu gawked at me.

My ears catch the sound of people's footsteps, they're already around me to see what's going on.

“What is poison?” Bayu asked in shock, expressionless. I nodded that immediately got a sigh of relief from the Danendra family members.

Before I could explain everything, suddenly my grandmother was already beside me, her right hand raised, index fingers and thumbs pressed on both my cheeks until my cheeks slightly bloated and lips pursed, my face looks ugly.

“Do not speak, do not swallow anything. Quickly get water!!” Grandma screamed at her children, it made me shocked because they were all gawking. It's as if Alvaro's grandfather's dominance when he spoke to the perpetrator was nothing compared to grandma.

Uncle Kenzo ran to find water.

“Bring me oil.”

Unknowingly I repeated, asking “Niyak?”

“Do not talk!” Grandma looked at me full of threats.

“Fried oil, eucalyptus oil, telon oil. Anything you can bring, FAST!!” Aunt Kenzie, Giliant, even grandfather's father gasped in shock, they turned around starting to spread.

My hand has been raised, want to take off my grandmother's hand but grandma has spoken to Bayu “Hold her hand.”

Bayu blinked a few times, even he for a moment looked at grandma. But not refuting, Bayu held my hand so as not to move according to grandmother's instructions.

Geez!
