EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 38's

...

Now I really don't understand. “Tactualty? What the hell are you saying? Who's fiancee? What's his business with me?”

“Speak politely to him! He's a few months older than you. Mother does not educate you to be a child who snatches other people's spouses.”

I laughed reflexively hearing that. All the feelings of respect for the mother suddenly disappeared. God forgive me.

“Did I not hear wrong? What's wrong with you two? Mother who approached Alexander. And now in his haughty style, this daughter actually came here. Was it not the other day that you came to me and threatened me to warn my mother not to approach your father?! Please your stupidity look real in front of me!”

Jane looked shocked and embarrassed to hear it, but her gaze remained sharp looking at me. “You! I'm here because it turns out you and your mother are the same. You guys are the men!”

“Who? Who took your man? Who's your fiancee, huh?”

This woman immediately handed her phone to me. I grabbed it and saw what Jane meant.

“We were engaged three years ago! This is the proof.”

My chest cavity suddenly felt numb, if there was a word more painful than pain I might

using it. In the photo that Jane showed, she was smiling looking at the camera with a tall man who was with me a few minutes ago.

Jane and Bayu smiled broadly at the camera, revealing their engagement rings. The throbbing dust in both my ears grew louder, my mouth so dry that I was unable to swallow, let alone speak.

As much as I could I held back the tears, realizing how unfortunate my life was. I'm alone. People who are normally called family or girlfriends should do all this to me.

Is this some kind of karma for me?

Have I done evil? Did I hurt someone unconsciously? or do I make people uncomfortable? What exactly is my fault!

I don't know how I'm going to deal with this heartache no matter how hard I try to believe but in the end I will be disappointed and alone again.

“Allowed?! Bayu is my fiancee! He's going to be my husband!” I gasped in shock and realized from the daydream when I realized Jane had pushed my shoulder hard enough to almost make me fall.

“So right?! You snatched his fiancee?” Now Mom is glaring in front of me.

“I didn't know Bayu was engaged.”

“This is how you are! Always reason! I never taught you to do something like this! You're ruining Jane's happiness! He must have suffered a lot because of you. I'm really embarrassed to call you my son.”

I want to laugh out loud now no longer know what mom's mind is. He now defends the child more from the father's affair than his own biological son. I'm so mad.

“You, come with me!” I turned around, walked over first to have Jane follow me.

Right in front of the gate, I saw Bayu walking towards me. From far away I could see Bayu's shocked look at Jane standing behind me.

“You're engaged to him?” I asked without further ado after Bayu stood before me.

“Bayu, I called you these past few weeks but why is it always not in response. Must be because of him.

Bayu looked at me, his face more serious than usual. “Yes. But I already canceled it.”

“What?! You suddenly canceled it?! You can't do this to me!!” Jane was already standing between me and Bayu, pushing me away.

I saw Bayu about to grab me but unexpectedly Jane hugged him, stopping him. This scene is like the drama I've seen. My heart rumbled between jealousy and heartache. I just want to go and disappear. I don't think I can anymore.

“Icha! Listen to my explanation first!” Bayu had already let go of Jane and grabbed my hand but like a natural reflex, I blew it away. Not wanting to touch him.

“You lied to me!”

“I'm about to explain it to you.”

“When? After being caught like this?”

“OK. I'm sorry for not telling you. But I swear that I've canceled this engagement two months after the engagement. All because of my parents' match. You have to trust me!”

“What did you say? What cancellation? Even our parents don't discuss it.” Jane's voice made me not like her. Although a glance but I can see the calm expression of the girl looks annoying from behind Bayu's back.

The first time I saw Bayu's expression. Death, despair and worry but again my ears seem not to want to hear anything more from him. I'm sick of looking at him. But I realized, in my deepest heart there was a speck of hope there.wishing I could trust his words, wishing he would come back to me and wishing I could get his heart fully.

“How can I trust you if something like this is all you don't trust me to tell you! You made me a bad girl, a girl who snatched someone else's fiancee, making me the third person among you.”

“I didn't mean to! Sorry, please don't be like this. I can prove it!”

“Solve your problem with him. I don't want to see you. I don't want to always be the one to blame.” I turned around to open the gate to go inside but Bayu's words stopped me.

“Then what about you? Have you believed me all this time? Do you trust me to tell you about your problem? You don't trust me!”

“Yes! I couldn't believe it at first! But this is my own problem and none of your business from now on! Besides I'm not the one who's gonna cheat like this.” I looked back at her angrily as Bayu looked at me with her red eyes holding in anger.

Suddenly he grabbed my right wrist so hard that me and him were so close. Her face

looking down at me annoyed. “I'm not cheating! I'll prove it to you!”

“No need! I don't want to deal with you anymore! All men are the same! Now let me go!!” I tried to take off her grip but Bayu really grasped it very tightly. One more side of Bayu I just saw.

“If you don't avoid me, I won't do this.” His sharp whispers made me want to stay away from him. Actually I don't want to be like this, I want to talk calmly with her but because my mood was broken because of my mother and Jane earlier, it looks like I was venting on Bayu.

“Didn't you say if maybe there would have been a misunderstanding. We are not the same in 1 color, we are also different in word writing, but beautiful always has meaning because different does not have to hurt.” Bayu continued with a crushing blow. His words were exactly the same as I said before.

“Lease! Please.” I'm trying to avoid, my heart needs time with all this. So often I swallowed disappointment that I again had to hurt my heart.

Bayu slowly released his hand on my wrist, his eyes still sharp looking at me. There was a flood of despair, pleas, disappointment and affection in it. This man managed to shake my defense. His love and affection are so real it only seems to me.
