EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 83

...

When my feet were about to reach the turn of the corridor to the doctor's room Stefan, I saw the honey-brown-eyed man turning from there about to head towards me. He looked at me in shock and walked quickly towards me who was already silently staring at the spot.

“Yeah what's wrong with you?”

“Are there any news from Bayu?” I looked at Doctor Stefan expectantly. This man seemed to know what I was thinking, he let out a long sigh and shook his head.

That means my guess is wrong.

There's no Bayu here.

“You must be cold. Your face is pale.”

My mind suddenly floated considering Rey's words earlier, about Bayu who had not received the antidote. He should have come back ‘, right? I've missed him too much lately. Looks like I should calm down and—

“Why? Did you get an attack?”

My consciousness was pulled back to hear the voice of Doctor Stefan in front of me. It turned out that unconsciously my right hand squeezed the shirt wrapped in this jacket, the pain that I had been enduring had made me realize that I had to ask Dr. Stefan for another prescription.

This afternoon I was escorted home by two policemen who had been threatened by Rey's men this afternoon. They came to the hospital to see Doctor Stefan and told him about me that Rey brought, but seeing me who was with Doctor Stefan made them relieved and decided to take me.

I've also been getting medicine for heart patients. Doctor Stefan helped me take it to the pharmacy and forced me to take a short break while I waited. I've also been loaned a special change of clothes this patient.

Although my body is better and can be controlled, my chest pain is still felt. Doctor Stefan has given me medicine but not completely relieve the pain.

The atmosphere of this house that is always quiet and feels cooler makes my mood worse. I sat on the living room couch, facing the black TV screen. Staring at the reflection of my own reflection there who always sat alone like this.

My right hand raised touched my left chest, rubbing it slowly to calm the powerful throbbing that pierced my back. Although it was not as painful as before, but I was still afraid when my time could no longer breathe.

This house, the inheritance I got, is also about mom, dad and Daniel. Then now it's about Aunt Rose hiding something about who I really am.

I guess when my body is busy with work and college activities, I can forget about these problems. But it turns out I was just a coward who had always run away all this time. I don't want to face the reality that's hidden in front of me.

And in the end, even though I tried to smile and say everything was fine. Even though I stood up straight, in fact I was scared and I was unhappy.

Then a plan that I had thought for a long time came to pass, it seemed that in this way my heart and mind would calm down. This time I really gave up and gave up. I hope what I'm going to do is going well and there are no obstacles at all.

Without getting out of my supine position on the bed, I raised one hand to my chest. It doesn't hurt much, but my breathing hasn't gone too well. My hands were raised covering my forehead and I closed my eyes, trying to calm down and catch my breath.

Early in the morning I woke up, it felt like my body was very limp and my chest was in pain. I shouldn't be too cape but I forgot about it while cleaning up my stuff yesterday until late at night.

For an hour I was still in a lying position, my left chest hurt so much that it felt right through my back. The plan today I will go out to find an apartment with a monthly rental that fits the contents of the wallet

I've decided to hand over all of Aunt Rose's inheritance to my mother, all of it even the money Aunt Rose left in the bank account I've never touched at all I would give. I'll move in today if I get a new place to live.

Only in this way maybe mom will look at me in a different way better of course. Then once again I will ask the help of Mr. Seno's lawyer to be a witness as well to help me speed up the process of changing the name of the entire inheritance.

The plan is today I will find a new place to live, it will definitely be easy to remember today is Sunday. But I'm not sure I can go around looking with my situation like this.

Another option is that I will ask for help from aunt Yuan or aunt Nuri if my condition does not improve as well. Undeniably, I am a little relieved to realize that at least I can ask for help from others with my circumstances like this.

“Are you sick?”

“I just sleep less.” I glanced at the lawyer Seno who was already sitting beside me. This afternoon we both agreed to meet at this restaurant. Deliberately ordering a private room for the submission of all land and inheritance certificates to the mother has been decided.

As I expected, as I thought, mr. Seno had forced me to tell the truth why I had to leave everything to my mother while he had been sent a message from late aunt Rose about all her inheritance so I could use it myself because of everything for me but again I only convinced him if

my decision has been well thought out.

“Have you read the envelope I handed you back then?” I swallowed my saliva with great difficulty, hoping that Seno sir would not discuss this.

“What does this have to do with shares in that company? Group Eternity?”

“Quickly or later a representative of the Eternity group will meet you to discuss it.”

My hand was raised, rubbing my left chest which still hurt when I had taken the medicine twice today. Every time I take a breath it hurts and all this pain takes away my focus a little bit.

“I have no intention at all to deal with all that. I just want to be an ordinary human being who works, marries and lives to old age.”

“Tapi—“

“Does all this have anything to do with my origin?” I interrupted Mr. Seno's rebuttal which instantly made this middle-aged man go silent for an instant, as if I had guessed it correctly.

My hands were raised to grab the two sheets of tissue on the table, removing the sweat dot that soaked the side of my face. Not because of the hot room temperature, but holding the pain in my chest was excruciating.
