EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 347's

...

My eyes closed, my hands tightly hugged Bayu's neck and decided to stick my face around his neck.

I don't care about the situation getting crowded. Many people passed by to control the incident, there were also reporters who began to arrive.

While carrying me princess style, Bayu stepped closer to the ambulance that had just come, then he sat in the back of the car, where in and out of the patient who wanted to be brought and said slowly, "Icha, at least you should be checked and treated before we go. The trip to the hospital from here is quite far since we are in a mountainous area."

I clenched my arms at him before snatching and slightly keeping my head away from him. Then I could see Bayu's pouting face when I saw my face.

"You look very pale. I've never seen you like this before."

"I want to go home! I don't want to be in this town anymore. We have to go home." I pressed the last word while looking at him seriously.

Bayu's gaze diverted at the person approaching from behind me, he raised his hand and said, "let me treat him."

Then Bayu's hand brushed away some of the hair covering my forehead and something cold and painful stinging from there.

I grimaced softly but did not take my eyes off Bayu's serious face. Highlight the eyes of this man looks very focused on treating my wounds. He clucked and muttered softly, "this blood and bruises! I'll make sure he gets more than this."

"Wood?"

"You want to go home now?"

"Do you still have to stay here?" I asked back.

There was a pause between us before Bayu answered too late, "yes."

"If so, I won't go either!"

"You're going home with mom."

"No! When you drove me to the airport and it happened, I knew I had to go with you. Stick up!" I sounded spoiled, not like my usual self but I felt like this.

"Uhuk.." there was a fake cough coming from behind my back, but I ignored it and still focused on looking at Bayu, asking him to answer immediately.

"But-" I quickly grabbed her collar, grabbed her to give her the reassurance that I didn't want to be denied.

"Well! alright madam." He replied in a tired and half-mockful tone to me, as if he was obeying his master.

I nodded in satisfaction, took off the grip on her collar and tidied it up a little.

"So that?? You're not hiding anything anymore, are you?"

After basic treatment at the scene, Bayu took me to the hospital, where Stefan's doctor was present. Other than shock, cold and minor injuries on my forehead, there was nothing serious about me anymore. Although Stefan's doctor advised me to stay overnight in the hospital to see other symptoms that might arise, but I forced Bayu to allow me to rest in the apartment.

Maybe because I saw what I had experienced over the past few days, Bayu did not argue and agreed until finally now I was on the bed with a blanket covered up to the neck.

"really. That's what happened." He said with a stoic face and patience with my suspicions.

I nodded slowly, recalling this whole incident from Bayu's side.

At first, before she came, she had planned to take me home by plane and had already booked her ticket. On the day of the earthquake, members of his team who were scattered to investigate Gilbert's organization told the headquarters that their usual route was disrupted by the earthquake, they suspect that Gilbert's drug cartel will use the air, the only one that can operate quickly.

In that short time, Bayu and his team decided to arrest at the speed which was originally planned for three more days, not only the arrest at the airport but simultaneously raided other bases that had previously been known location, which was monitored by other teams in each place.

Bayu planned to actually watch me get on the plane before he stormed Gilbert at the airport, but his plan had to fail because Gilbert was moving faster.

At the time, the team at the airport managed to catch some of Gilbert's men before they ran away. Actually since the initial battle at the airport, Bayu had been ordered by his commander to immediately move to Gilbert's headquarters in an empty village, so Bayu was not much involved at the airport.

When I was transferred to an empty village, Bayu and some of his team were already there, hiding among the empty houses. He was shocked to see me there, he also claimed to want to rush in when he saw me threatened by Wendy, Cilia and Samuel's crazy man, too, but he had to hold him back so that their plan of invasion that would be carried out in the morning did not fail.

For the person who kidnapped me, he was indeed one of the members who had come to raid the headquarters, he did it turned out to threaten Bayu because he held the sponsorship evidence for the Asura lab. The evidence Bayu got before the raid, when he and his team secretly checked into their safe at night.

The kidnapper, who ended up getting shot 2 times in the leg was one of the biggest sponsors in the Asura lab using a fake name.

Bayu realized too late when I was kidnapped by the man, he returned to the car park and saw the mess before reporting it.

"I feel like I'm really going crazy because you've gone missing in front of my eyes 2 times! But I remember at the airport, you wore all the rings I loved. This ring-" Bayu pointed at the black ring he took out of his shirt, hanging around his neck, "this ring that I specially made for the both of us, has a tracking device. When I was about to do this, I had a feeling that I had to implant a tracking device."

"Hoo... What happened to the first gunshot in the mountains? Did you forget I was there? You stand behind the abyss and the kidnapper keeps staring at you cruelly! I almost died of a heart attack when the kidnapper shot you!"

Bayu covered my mouth with the wine he gave while his forehead wrinkled dislike, "hush! don't say die so easily."

"But that's the truth! It feels like my heart hurts so bad to realize you're not there." Answer grumbling.

Suddenly Bayu smiled a little, he then put a plate filled with wine on a small table beside the bed and moved to get into the blanket. His hand pulled my waist easily for him to hug tightly. His head leaned against my chest and muttered, "i know this! I know that I can't live without you."

"Hm? Suddenly?"

I let this man hold me tighter, but this romantic atmosphere never seemed to exist because something he said next made the frown on my forehead deeper.

"Violets... Do we have Violet's color?"
