EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 34

...

This man nodded his glance at me and returned to look at the fight before us. “She is young and she is good at everything. Bayu can see and utilize the ability of his team members well. He is also good at strategy. His instincts are very sharp. Therefore people call him as alpa.”

I glanced at the serene-looking Bayu with the two thugs already down in pain. “He doesn't talk much, but he's also not a cold person. He's just a normal young guy who's been missing his girlfriend all this time.”

Doctor Stefan glanced at me a little teasingly. I pretended to ignore his words while touching both of my cheeks.

It was warm and my heart was beating. Now I'm nervous.

Then there was applause accompanied by cheers. I turned to see what was happening, Bayu was walking towards me with behind him the two criminals seemed to be trying to catch his breath. There wasn't much bruising on the face of that criminal even I didn't see any bloodshed there.

“Basic cocky boy! You don't see your girlfriend here reluctant to see you fighting!” Doctor Stefan nagged Bayu to represent me.

I nodded in agreement to his words. Bayu actually smiled while patting the top of my head. Sweat was dripping down the side of his face but his breathing seemed normal. It's really hard to believe!

“Dok, I'm just upset. After all, I haven't practiced for two days. My body is a little stiff.” Cut out

Bayu smiled happily looking at Doctor Stefan.

“What did you call me here for? I'm a busy doctor!”

“Ah yes this.” Bayu immediately took out an injection that had fought with me.

“It's an injection from Rey. He again targets Icha, threatening her to inject this. Please check the contents.”

Bayu's words made Doctor Stefan reflexively glance at me.

“And you will inject this on your body?” Ask not to believe. I just smiled clumsyly not to argue.

“Can I pinch his head?” Ask Bayu. Quickly I stood behind Bayu's back, chuckling softly to avoid him.

“No doc! Only I'll snap his head!”

“Hei! My head is not a marble! Why do you want to prick my head?” I murmured the protest that was actually welcomed by the laughter of these two men.

Today is sunday. I who used to be lazy while watching the drama must be disturbed when Daniel

came with his pouting face.

“What's up? From earlier you were silent.” I put the cold orange juice in front of him. With a single drink Daniel had already consumed everything in a matter of seconds.

It had been five minutes he was still silent not wanting to answer. “What does this have to do with mom?” My guess.

Daniel suddenly looked at me sharply and replied. “Lusa yesterday dad came here ‘kan? Why is Brother not

telling me?! I want to meet him!”

“She just came for a while.” Given the fact that dad had a certain intention of coming here made my heart suddenly hurt. I want to lose the memory of my father and mother's conversation on the phone.

“But at least I want to meet him! Brother knows, I miss him too just as big brother misses dad!”

I kept quiet about Daniel. It's true, this boy hasn't met his father since childhood. Maybe never even knew him.

“Let's come here again, brother will ask him to see you.”

“Appointment?”

“Hmm...” Now I can see the big smile of this boy. He seemed satisfied with my promise.

Our attention was shifted when we heard the knocking on the door. I guess who's coming soon

running small to open it.

“You're late!” My protest.

Actually my stomach is too hungry waiting for him because Bayu promised to buy curry rice and chicken sambal matah.

“You protest me being late or because the food is late?”

“Two. Hehehe.” Bayu always knows what I'm thinking.

“She's my sister. Daniel.” I introduced them. The two shook hands and mentioned each other's names.

“Sister, she's your boyfriend?”

“Hei! You are too to the point.” Protest's embarrassed. Bayu just chuckled softly in response.

“Kak Bayu, how long have you been with sister Icha? What does my sister like about him? He's not as feminine as big brother thinks. Brother Icha it's his hobby nagging me, he's too noisy—“

“Yeah!! This boy!” I'm yelling. Want to throw it with this soda can in my hand.

“It's a shame I didn't see all that from him. Love is blind.” Both of these men laughed a little.

“Oh I didn't know your sister was here. I don't buy more food.” Bayu muttered to me when we were

remove the food it carries from the plastic.

“Don't mind me. You guys just eat. I'll be out soon too.”

“It's just right that my sister refused my invitation to eat out.” Added again.

I who had started to open the curry rice just stared at it for a while while smiling a little.

“Because you always want to be treated. That's one of your strategies.” Gurauku's.

Daniel shrugged both of his shoulders with a mischievous smile. “Sister already knows what I think.”

Bayu who was sitting next to me opened the soda can that he had brought for me. Another good thing he had unconsciously done since we had eaten together. Bayu didn't miss his part of opening a drink for me.

“Daniel, what are your activities? You work?” Ask Bayu while starting to eat his rice.

“I just graduated college. Looking for a suitable job.”

“Sometimes looking for a suitable job is difficult.”

“I'm professional in every way.” I laughed at the boy's answer.

“Kak Bayu works where?” He ignored me who almost choked.

“Only a soldier.”

“Woahh really? Kak Icha used to really want to be a soldier.”

Bayu glanced at me and nodded. “Y.. He really wants to be a soldier. Actually we intend

will be logged in together.”

My memories revolved around that time, when we graduated high school and promised to join the army together. I was the one who broke that promise.

I had no intention of wanting to join their chat around being a member of the army. I was just busy giving peanuts to Bayu and Bayu exchanged them for onions.

We've been getting used to this a long time actually. Exchanging lists of likes and dislikes. Wrongly

the only thing I don't like is the beans mixed in the food and Bayu doesn't like fried onions.

Monday is the day I don't like the most because Monday is still too far away to Sunday.

As usual, early in the morning I had left for work not forgetting the books and tasks I had to bring to college today.

Bayu has also started working. He said he should still have a day off but because of the incident

mall, Bayu should be back soon.

I had guessed, if Bayu returned to work then our time to meet would be very little because he rarely went home. Bayu has his own team.
