EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 41

...

“Sorry to trouble the doctor, thank you for keeping me company.”

“I'm glad to help. Everything for the sake of your recovery as well, if there is anything do not hesitate to ask for my help yes.”

I smiled slightly glancing at Doctor Cilia who was already sitting quietly before me. We were both in the car.

After I fainted two days ago, Doctor Cilia told me that my trauma was deepening. One of my healing methods is that I no longer have contact with my mother until my condition is healthy and this takes time.

The first step was I decided to give all of Aunt Rose's inheritance that had been making mom very aggressive towards me. Whatever rules the lawyer asks later because I violated the will, I don't want to bother anymore. If necessary I'll sell everything and give all that money to Mom and Daniel.

Aunt Rose must have understood my situation. I want to get well, I want to get back to work. I want to continue a more normal life. Then about what Mom said last time, which made me doubt who I was, I'll find out later when I can stand on my own.

Right now I need someone to talk to, my voice is still not heard. For exactly one week I had not heard my own voice and it made me feel even more lonely in this world.

The train that was taking us slowly started to run away from the station. I'm planning on taking Doctor Cilia to a bank far outside this town. Where I keep all the documents related to Aunt Rose's will. Mom's day was mad at me for not finding a land certificate in my aunt's inheritance home.

Before I decided to go by train, I had to tell Mr. Seno's lawyer to help me take back the land certificate in Bali that I want to sell through a short message. After getting an okay answer, then I really decided to take all the land certificates.

I hope that everything I have planned goes well.

…

I opened my eyes slowly as soon as I heard the sound of the train operator telling me the plan to stop the train for a break at the next station. My destination is still five hours away and it's only halfway through.

Ever since this train left, I who was sitting beside the window always felt sleepy and tired, the Cilia doctor who understood my condition did not speak much, said, the woman seemed cool with her laptop and cell phone or she occasionally read books.

I stared out the window, the trees as if running after the carriage. The view this afternoon looks cloudy cloudy, like it will rain. The smell of the air was smelled fresh as this carriage walked through the land as wide as the eye looked at with a beautiful green grass.

I feel better now, I'm happy to see this scene.maybe if the rubber can stop, I want to go there. Just quietly enjoy the breeze and the distinctive aroma of the soil.

When the scenery was replaced by dense trees, I turned to look at the Cilia doctor who was seriously reading a book. This woman in front of me is not disturbed at all even though sometimes the movement of the car disturbs its concentration.

Then my eyes caught the passengers around me. I didn't realize before that a bunch of kids wearing uniforms were sleeping in the chair next to me. There were 10 children with their mother who accompanied them.

I subconsciously smiled as I watched almost all the children fall asleep in their mother's arms. They seemed calm and undisturbed. The children knew clearly they would be safe in the arms of the mother. All kids feel that.

It's just that maybe not with me, I almost forgot what it was like to get a mother's hug. Ahh thought about how mom had been making me suddenly have trouble breathing. I patted my chest slowly while closing my eyes. I exhaled slowly to get my heart rate back to normal.

I felt Doctor Cilia touch my shoulder and say. “Tenace. Let's breathe slowly.”

I followed her direction when I exhaled, when I calmed down I opened my eyes to see Doctor Cilia looking at me with a bottle of water in her hand.

I shook my head slowly and smiled at him in response to the fact that I was going to be fine. I mean today even though I feel like my body is really tired but still I can continue on this journey.

“Eat this bread. I'm gonna go find some rice. You haven't had lunch yet, and this morning it just seemed to be eating

one slice of bread.”

I shook my head quickly, preventing Doctor Cilia from standing up. My appetite for this week dropped dramatically, I was really not in the mood to eat on the train.

“No! You should eat something else. Your body will get weaker like this. You don't want me to

injecting infusion for your food? Believe it or not I carry an infusion bag here.” Doctor Cilia threatened me while pointing at her bag. I can't argue and just take a slow breath.

Feeling she had already won, this woman immediately stood up seemingly intending to look for the carriage stewardess in another carriage.

For a moment I stared at his disappearance with two other middle-aged women following him from behind.

After Doctor Cilia left, I reflexively touched my neck. Trying to talk but still no sound

from there. Trying to scream as hard as I can still not precisely now my throat feels sore.

I sighed softly, my head leaning against the window not knowing what I should do so I could

recuperated. I don't want to be like this. Then from the tail of my eyes, I saw a little boy sitting beside me watching me.

I glanced at him and noticed, we both fell silent. When the other children appeared to be awake and chatting with their mother, the child was alone and still silent.

Then he stood up from where he was sitting, approached me and suddenly offered me a piece of candy. I who was confused and a little shocked just stared at this girl's face and her hands many times. Not being given a quick response, this kid kept his candy in my palm and he turned back to his own place.

I laughed and watched him, funny. Not wanting to upset her, I ate the candy she gave me when she looked back at me when she was sitting in her place.

“Thank you.” I just moved my mouth, the girl nodded and smiled understanding my words.

I didn't realize what was going on, suddenly the door of the carriage behind me opened violently and was quite rude.

Everyone in this carriage jumped in shock looking at the source of the sound, as well as me. There was a sound of firing followed by the sound of people screaming.

My heart was beating fast and my body felt stiff seeing five men carrying pistols shouting threatening the people inside this carriage to stay in their respective places. Not to spare my surprise, from the other carriage door appeared the same two men carrying long-barreled pistols in their hands.

“DO NOT MOVE! SILENCE IN EACH PLACE!!”
