EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 291's

...

Dad seemed to be thinking hard, wanting to reject me at all costs but it seemed like what I said made sense to him.

“No!”

“Oke.” I immediately stood facing the father who had been pacing back and forth in front of the three of us, “if so, do not be surprised if I run—“

“Dad will find you wherever you are.”

“Icha will hide anywhere until dad won't find me!” My reply does not accept.

Dad was about to return my words, but his mouth was tightly clenched while breathing out loud, “have! Let me discuss it with Rasha. Anyway, dad will consider her after knowing the exact location Bayu was assigned.”

I smiled widely and replied, “that's a good suggestion, Dad. I wait for father's permission.”

“This you, so stubborn!” Dad looked at me.

“Of course, Mr. Evano. Seeing your debate, miss is very similar to you.” Said Wildan making me and Dad looking at him with a sharp look.

“So, Yudha. We meet again.” This time I approached Yudha and raised my hand, “our first cooperation, may everything be smooth.”

Yudha smiled then stood up to me and returned my handshake, “please. I'm happy to be on a team with lady Icha.”

...

I closed the door of my father's study just as my eyes caught Diana's figure immediately standing from her sitting position on the sofa waiting at the front door.

After that brief discussion, my father asked me to come out because he was going to discuss something with Wildan and Yudha.

Seeing only me coming out, Diana's facial expression turned disappointed, she snorted in annoyance and sat back down, not caring about me.

After a brief consideration, I finally decided to talk to the woman. So, I immediately stepped closer to him and called, “Diana.”

He watered me with his eyes without bothering to stand up to welcome me. “Ya?”

I exhaled loudly, folded both hands over my stomach and asked, “do you have a problem with me?”

“I don't understand you mean.” Reply indifferently.

“The sight of your eyes cannot lie. I can clearly see, not only from the eyes, but the look on your face, clearly written there if you don't like me.”

“Oh yes? I didn't know that. Everyone should like you?”

I rolled my eyes irritated, “I guessed, you don't like me because you're afraid I'm stealing your nickname known to office people, if you've been considered the daughter of Mr. Evano. You don't like me because of my sudden presence in the middle of you.”

Diana was still looking at me coldly, she did not reply, her lips were still silent and it was obvious from the look in her eyes that she was against me.

I shook my head with his behavior, and waved unconcernedly as he said, “I will not force you to accept my presence or like me. I don't care either, and your opinion of me, doesn't matter, one thing I need to warn you, if you're looking for trouble with me, I won't stay silent.”

Diana groaned and clucked softly after hearing my words. Not wanting to be with him anymore, I immediately walked out from before him.

As I walked out of the same room as Diana and stepped into the backyard to meet Aunt Kenzie, Uncle Kenzo suddenly walked up to my feet, he ran small to catch up with me from behind with a wide grin.

“You dare once.” Said.

“What?”

“Diana. So you said it straight, eh?”

“I didn't say it, just a little warning. Anyway, I don't like to see the look in his eyes when I see me.” Honestly answered.

“So? Why no one dared?” I'm a little interested.

Uncle Kenzo shrugged his shoulders, “maybe because he was close to Wildan and brother.”

I nodded in understanding.

“But by the way, Wildan had a short story earlier, if indeed lately Diana was often angry and resulted in some work the results are not optimal. Like the matter you discussed earlier, Diana was the one in charge of planning. Maybe it's only natural that he doesn't like you any more.” It makes everything clear now.

“It's not weird anymore. Leave it alone, anyway at the moment he is not bothering me.” My answer.

Uncle Kenzo nodded, “no need to take a headache, which you should take a headache about Kenzie.”

“What's up?” I'm happy that Uncle Kenzo is willing to shift our subject.

“She is very happy to choose ornamental plants to give to you. Hope he'll give you the tongue-in-law.”

I chuckled but couldn't help but ask, “why?”

“Of course so there is no need to flush every day. Tongue in-laws can live even if only in flush once a month.” We both started laughing silly, not stopping the pace of approaching Aunt Kenzie who was busy with her ornamental plants in the backyard.

4 months later.

“Kak Icha! Here!!”

“Oh Alisya!! You coming?? And Zac! It's been a long time ago ya don't meet.”

“Good day lady Icha.”

“Ishh. You are still stiff.” His brow elbowed the arm of the man beside him.

“Zac only met with lady Icha a few times, so—“

“So it should be more relaxing.” Cut Alisya.

I smiled a little, embrace the arm of this girl and investigate her face, “have not met for a long time, you are more beautiful aja.”

“Out brother! Alisya should have said that. Precisely Icha more beautiful, especially her hairstyle looks fresh. Alisya so cool in rich colors gini.” Clearly embracing me back.

“Free little change for mood.” I replied, subconsciously I looked at myself in front of the restaurant window, though it was dark but I could see my appearance there.

My hair is growing longer, exactly a week ago I came to the beauty salon to dye my hair with a blue and gray ombre model. The combination of gray and blue at the bottom gives a unique impression because it is made horizontally, so that it seems like a gradation. Although this model is no longer a trend now, but I am quite satisfied with the results.

“Alisya wants too! Roughly which color matches what?” The question is looking at me.

I was speechless, staring at Alisya's long wavy hair in let down, her hair type was the same as mine, “maybe.”.

“Ya yes?”

“In my opinion, long hair, blue black color is very impressed sweet and graceful, plus the texture of wavy hair. But adding violet is also good. Violet is a derivative of the blue color that produces a reddish effect. Violet color can be used to provide a beautiful matching color fusion effect so that the color of the voilets can appear with the maximum.”

“Kak Icha sounds pro once.” Alisya.

I laughed and replied, “inally, the beauty salon I went to recommended blue black hair color with violet highlights, but I refused it. Come to think of it, the color violet is more suitable for you.”
