EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 271's

...

“Harta pent? Why do such rumors appear?”

“Father Evano mentioned that the Danendra family is descended from the royal family from a long time ago, so the rumor was based from there. Treasure is buried because of the royal family's descendants, but my father stressed to me that the treasure never existed and they never even heard of it but the rumor came out of nowhere Talia nodded.

“I will inquire more details about Red Apple later.”

“Yes, as all of this is slowly starting to connect. Then back to the Giant problem, after the first company was destroyed, the last eight years they have built again slowly Asura organization. Doctor Cilia was one of the trust assistants of the Asura organization chairman, then when me and the team went to the hospital where she worked, it turned out that Cilia's doctor had resigned a month ago and now disappeared.”

“Before, Cilia's doctor still asked me and helped me, but I only realized after I knew the members of Bayu's team, all of you, she no longer contacted me. Maybe he approached because I had no one.” realized this fact made me sad and upset.

Talia patted my arm softly and said “we are secretly also investigating her other patients. If there's a report, I'll definitely tell you.”

“There is a possibility that he used the poison method on other patients as well?” I looked at him in disbelief.

“Maybe worse if you look at how the Asura organization used to make humans as experimental mice for the poison they developed.” I felt the creeps hearing all that. Didn't expect all this time I was close to something very dangerous.

“As long as I'm still investigating doctor Cilia's patient, I'm asking you for help inquiring about the Red Apple case with your father huh. I have a feeling that this case is very big and dangerous, from now on you don't go out alone. The woman beside the mother earlier, wasn't that the same person we met for

taking the departure of Lifer and Bayu?”

“Iya. He was the bodyguard that Rasha's father recommended. In addition there is one more person, his name Dika who also controls me. Initially Rahsa's father wanted them both to accompany me and Bayu, but since Bayu was on duty, the two of them became with me.” Talia nodded in satisfaction.

“What is this report, Bayu and Rasha's father know it?” I asked because I just remembered Rasha's father decided to provide an escort for me and Bayu, could it be that Rasha's father or Evano's father already knew about Cilia's doctor?

“No. I didn't tell Uncle Rasha or Bayu. But with Rasha's father's ability and maybe your father's suspicions, they must have discussed this.” Guess Talia.

“About Bayu, I'll tell him.” I said.

“Yes. I will also send people to look after you from afar periodically. You should discuss this with your father for his next action.”

I'm nodding. “Still a lot, Talia.”

Talia patted the back of my hand slowly and smiled, “don't hesitate on me. I've considered Bayu my sister which means I've also considered you my sister. If there is anything immediately contact me yes.”

A warm feeling instantly flowed filled my chest cavity and slowly rose into my face. I smiled at him broadly.

“But by the way, I didn't see your bodyguard one more. Guy named Dika ‘kan?” as my smile receded, I remembered the incident this morning.

“I forgot to tell you, Dika was looking for complex CCTV footage because this morning I saw someone taking pictures of me. Like journalists. He will inform me after getting the result.”

“Journalist? What the hell's going on? Why did a reporter suddenly come to you?”

Then I told him about my resignation and Evano's father coming to my company which caused my identity to be revealed.

“Perhaps anyone notified the media? I don't know.” I said still not sure.

“Most possibilities are like that.”

“But by the way, you know my house is here? I don't remember ever mentioning his address.”

“No, it just so happened that when you guys came out, I was near the gate of the house, your maid said you were in the car that just came out to go home, so I followed you.” I was disturbed to hear his explanation.

I chuckled in response to Talia's teasing, “It seems like I have to hold a small celebration because I feel free.”

“Of course you should! There is rarely such a celebration. So where do you want to celebrate?” Talia seemed excited, but before we had any further discussions, my attention was diverted.

Mother Kirana and Lucy walked out the door of the house, walking towards the gate with a grim and astonished expression. Something must have happened inside the house.

Talia was also distracted and without warning we both rushed to open the car door. “What's bun?”

“Day wait here aja yes, son. Inside is your mother. You better get in first.” Mother approached me, saying softly.

Mother.

I sighed softly as the trace of the offended highlight read clearly on the face of Kirana's mother. Although you try to look calm in front of me, but I am the one who notices the slightest change.

“Sorry bun.” I whispered I felt guilty. Mother shook her head and gave her gentle smile.

Finally mom, Lucy and Talia were waiting outside when I stepped wide inside the house.

Just past the doorway of the house, I was shocked by the condition of the living room. Obviously all the relics of Aunt Rose have not, ranging from sofas, velvet carpets, glass cabinets even frames and paintings.

Mom and Daniel were sitting on a new sofa, mom calmly glanced at me with the corner of her eyes and said emotionlessly “oh you came.”

“What is this? Why—where are Aunt Rose's relics?!” My emotions instantly exploded, staring at mother and Daniel full of demands.

“The goods are old, the rest are in the warehouse and some are already on sale-”

“What?! Mom!”

“Don't yell at your mother!! You're a self-knowing child! Never contacted us because it feels great now? Got a new, more respectable family and ignored us, did you?” Mother looked at me sharply but I did not take my eyes off and remained steadfast to look back at her.

“Mother has no right to sell goods in this house! This house is not yours, Mom. At least mom and Daniel know manners. This action of yours is obviously very disrespectful, this is tantamount to theft!”

Mother stood up, stepped closer to me with eyes glaring at “what?! You dare to fight ibu—“

“Kak won't still have land—“

“Which I must partially redeem because you have pawned him!” Cut me sharply to look at Daniel.

My little sister looked at me coldly, her slanted smile making it clear that she hated me.

I looked at him sharply, pointing at him without fear of being angered by mother, “you are not self-conscious ya look at me with such hatred after your cowardly act of buying poison. Repeating the failure of investing by mortgaging a land deed that is not yours. Is your life meant to be someone else's burden?”
