EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 49's

...

“Sari wake! You hear me?” I whispered softly while shaking his body. Some time Sari seemed to squirm uncomfortably but finally this little girl opened her eyes.

“Sstt.. We're going home. Come.” I asked her not to make a fuss and this girl understood. He just nodded and got up immediately. Still with the infusion in his hand, I immediately put the infusion bag into the small bag of Cilia's doctor and carried Sari with my right hand.

This girl hugged my neck and hid her face on my right shoulder very tightly. For a moment I had to grimace with the extreme pain from my left shoulder when Sari accidentally touched it.

Exhaling slowly to relieve the pain, this made both of my eyes tear up almost crying. Really sore.

After calmer, I slowly approached the door and peeked out from the gap not finding the two guards earlier even though it was still visible that the criminals were running in different directions where the warehouse was.

They must be chasing Bayu.

Although I'm actually scared, tonight must be a long night. I opened the door slowly and hid when I heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

Nah! I can't get caught!

At least the plan in Bayu's arrangement will not be broken because of me.

My breath gasped between fear of being discovered and the state of my shoulders that seemed flushed from behind the bandage. Then the streets began to be quiet, no more big boss men were running around and without waiting anymore I ran as fast as I could to get to the warehouse.

The lighting is very minimal but I can remember where the place is. The night air and the dark trees around me make the atmosphere even more tense. Sari who was still hugging me very tightly added to my panic.

I've seen the warehouse, just a few meters away we arrived but my steps stopped with it

two men blocked my path. They seem to know my movements.

Both of them pointed their guns at the sound of a click sign that the object was ready for use.

“Where are you? Escape?”

“A—I just want to see the other kids. I mean, I heard gunshots. I'm just worried.” My answer is a little stammering.

“Back to the original place and stay there!”

“Yes! The warehouse! Our starting place is in warehouse.” I chuckled a little trying to melt this tense atmosphere. These two men did not consider my words at all. They came closer with a sharp look.

My frantic reflex kicked their leg bones as hard as I could and as before, these two men

falling pain. I had just run past them but my left hand was pulled by one of the men who had risen to his feet.

I screamed in pain. Now that u feels numb and I don't know what else to do other than

sobbing slowly. Besides this guy touched the wound on my shoulder hard enough that now I can squeeze wet.

I almost released Sari from my sling because now my body does not know until when it can withstand all this pain.

“Release!” I'm squealing. This man has already pulled my left hand, dragging me.

BRUK!!

A sudden blow struck the man who pulled me so I could break away and then pass on other blows to these two men. Although the lighting is very lacking but I can recognize two men were beating the criminal, from their clothes alone it looks they are members of the army.

I heaved a sigh of relief seeing these two thugs had already fallen unconscious from the blow. It felt like my feet had turned into jelly due to this feeling of relief, a feeling of security that instantly overpowered my body.

“Come we have to get out of here!” Get one of those soldiers to lead the way. I just nodded and

As we were walking around I could clearly hear the sound of walkie talkies from these two men.

“How is rescue? Already all?”

That's Bayu's voice! Hearing his voice alone I can guess the man took pains to take a breath

in abundance.

“Two more we have found and headed to the place of invitation.” Answer the man in front of me.

“Make sure they get out of here. I'll hold them off as long as possible.”

“Captain, we have to go home together!”

“I'm busy here. You guys go first! It's order!”

This man before me seemed to groan softly, annoyed. Not only him, but I heard him feel

upset and worried. It is not imagined by me how the fate of Bayu in the middle of the forest like this with the enemy chasing after him. Moreover, he was alone!

Nah!

The man has not explained about the engagement he canceled. We promise to be open to each other about the problems that occur and we have not been able to get to know each other further.

He came to make me his girlfriend again. He hasn't apologized to me either. Moreover, I have not told the truth, that I regret having ignored all his messages, that I wanted to hear his explanation, that I miss him and I love him.

Imagining me having to lose Bayu this fast makes me nervous at once. I could see not far in front of us that an army plane was ready to fly on the vast grass after coming out of the forest area. A strong wind hit my body making the clothes I was wearing felt even colder.

Suddenly I turned around, stopped my steps and handed Sari over to the man who had been guarding us from

back, don't forget I handed you a small pouch filled with infusion bags and medicines there.

“He should stay on infusion. There's a girl named Gia who will help you take care of her on the way. You guys should get out of here, I'll make sure your captain is safe!” I shouted loudly because I heard the sound of a helicopter engine approaching.

It seemed that this man before me was overwhelmed between accepting Sari and hearing my explanation. Without hearing the answer I quickly ran back into the forest.

My only goal is one, immediately find Bayu, make sure the man is okay.

***

I quietly slipped among the guards running around with their weapons. Very sure they are headed to where Bayu is.

A cold wind blew on my body, the dark forest atmosphere was getting creepy out there. Then the noise in this little village frightened me even more. My heart skipped a beat, my hot body temperature made sure I was still in a high fever. My head still feels dizzy and maybe if not in this kind of atmosphere I could no longer stand or run, but my desire to get out of here is very strong.

Now my left shoulder is throbbing and sore just because the cold air is blowing it softly, sweat dinging out more and more from my temple. When I was still adapting to the painful throbbing all over my head and left hand, I had already found a horde of men fighting.

What surprised me even more was that there was no Bayu there, instead there was an unexpected man fighting alone against Mike and his men.

I just watched them from behind the tree, realizing that guy Rey, he was better at fighting. The proof is that he alone can topple dozens of men around Mike.

“You still want to fight me?” It was Rey's voice, smiling sideways as his opponent stayed Mike alone. I still didn't think Rey could be in this place, even if she knew Mike? Is the world so narrow?

“I won't hand it over! Big boss trusts me to kill him immediately!” Mike's voice sounded.
