EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 71

...

A good morning sun for the body became my mainstay at this time so that my body could be stronger. Today is the third day of Bayu's departure.

The pain I felt that morning happened yesterday.

All day yesterday I had a complete break not to get out of bed. The nurse who helped Dr Stefan said they were heading to my room after a man standing in front of the room heard the sound of a glass breaking. The atmosphere of the hospital that was initially calm and quiet was immediately crowded and excited.

He said Dr. Stefan was trying to get my response. I suddenly drop with the oxygen pressure dropping. My heart rate is also falling.

I woke up in the afternoon. It was the first time I saw five doctors looking into my condition, including Doctor Stefan, who looked more serious than usual.

Until this morning, my body felt much better. I decided to come here after first asking Dr. Stefan for permission. Several times I saw the faces of men wearing familiar ordinary clothes seen since Bayu's departure.

They were watching me and keeping watch. Actually it is uncomfortable but want how else, maybe this is the best for now.

But my eyes clearly saw two people I knew walking slowly closer to me. God wants me to move forward to solve my problems. The boy –Daniel- was guiding Mother who was also wearing the same clothes as me walking towards me. There was no infusion attached to one of the mother's hands.

Both of them were looking at me who was silent on the park bench. I can't go, all I do is take off the headset that's been covering my ears.

Unknowingly, both palms of my hands clutched the tip of my patient's shirt. I was nervous of course, I wanted to run away. I want to disappear. It felt like my chest cavity was back in pain just by looking at my mother.

Both of them had stopped a meter in front of me, I immediately stood staring at the two of them. My tongue as if stiff can't move just to get stale.

Mom looked at me with her usual gaze, looking empty and always upset at me. He let out a rough breath before saying. “Truly hard to believe! We're one hospital but you don't visit at all.”

“I'm not ready to visit mom.” My answer is as slow as possible, I don't want to be the center of attention again like the other day.

“So after mom died, are you ready to visit mom? Holy hooch! What's my fault god that I have a daughter like her!”

I let out a long sigh, trying to calm down my rapid roar of breath due to emotions. “Whatever you think. I'm not in the mood to argue.”

“What?!”

“I want to go in first bu.” I replied, I quickly returned to using my earphones then immediately turned around and pushed the infusion pole that I always carry.

I heard my mother start nagging behind me as usual, she called me and I determinedly ignored her. Turn on the music that was delayed from my phone at the loudest volume possible so that I no longer hear the sound of my mother starting to shout annoyed.

I'm sorry ma'am.

In my little heart, I worry about him. I wanted to ask him, how is he? Is his sleep good? Does he eat regularly? But it was all just a dream that I knew would never come true.

I—no!

Damnit damnit!

Now that I felt my left chest heat up, my heart rate seemed to increase and I started having trouble breathing. I squeezed my clothes, trying to breathe as much air as I could.

Suddenly someone pulled my shoulder from behind until my body turned rough. Now in front of me is Jane Alexander. The woman who claims that Bayu is her fiance. There were two other women standing next to him.

“So this is your attitude to your own mother? You're a brash kid huh!”

Although my chest still hurts, but I frowned in surprise at him. Obviously he should have hated mom like he did when he first came looking for me. Mother approached her father but now she seems to support her mother and both attack me.

What's wrong with these people?!!

“Oh so this is the woman who stole your fiancee Jane? Oh my goodness, is he sick? Obviously looks completely different level with you Jane.” Yes, like in soap operas on TV, there are only ladies-in-waiting of antagonistic women do not have ethics like him.

“It's none of your business! What good are you in between my mom and me? Want to be a bad luck hero? Yes?!”

“APA?!” He screamed loudly that made my ears hurt.

“Stop being a bully! I've been very busy and I don't have time to serve you the weird one. Please dong we are educated women, do not be tacky rich gini!” I'm really fed up with all of them!

“What?! WEIRDO? Oi!! You call me weird??” He yelled pushing my shoulders which made my body balance waver. I, who was no longer strong enough to endure the pain in my left chest, had almost fallen if someone did not hold it from behind.

My head lowered, closed my eyes and tried as hard as I could to stay afloat even though my breath was one or two. From the scent of the perfume I smelled, I had already guessed that the person holding me back was Doctor Stefan.

“What are you guys doing?? He's a patient!!” Keep Doctor Stefan sounding hard in my ear.

“What patient has the energy to serve my words?? She's actually pretending to be sick to get the attention of my fiancee doc!” I wanted to slap her mouth but all I could do now was grimace in the pain in my chest.

“NURSES!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?! WHY JUST SHUT UP?? QUICKLY CALL SECURITY!” I didn't know Doctor Stefan could be so upset like this. Then I felt two men standing in front of me and started to throw Jane out.

“Who are you?! How dare you throw me out, huh! I'll tell the hospital owner to fire you! You don't know who my father is?!”

I felt like I was floating, my body was lifted and I was still trying to find this oxygen. I fear.

I was afraid I could no longer breathe.

“We are police! Who's daddy? I want to talk to him because his son just made a mess!” I faintly heard the voice of a foreign man shouting in annoyance.

Doctor Stefan who had been carrying me away from the park immediately put me on top of the safe. Then I felt this thing pushing my body fast. During the trip to the ER room, Doctor Stefan put the oxygen maxer on me. Slowly my breathing could be more regular even though my chest was still very sore.

My endless suffering began again. I went back unconscious and it turns out there is still another suffering I will face next.

By ourselves.
