EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 87's

...

When one of them managed to hit Bayu's back, I felt my breath stop for a moment. The two criminals realized my arrival with this man and one of them seemed to change targets to approach us but again Bayu blocked him.

For the second time tonight I can breathe a sigh of relief hearing the voices of these people behind me running towards us.

Help has come!

There were seven young to middle-aged men whose familiar faces in the complex ran up to us. As I thought, the two criminals were about to escape but one of them was hit harder and because it was not ready, the criminal fell unconscious while another criminal had run away with his motorbike which again I did not realize was parked not far from the front gate of my house.

Hordes of men who came five of them ran after the speed of the motorbike while two of them helped Bayu and the man who had come with me to secure the criminals lying unconscious.

I just looked at Bayu who was talking to those people as my feet stepped closer to his jeep.

The glass of his car was scattered. I still can't believe this fast the danger came, but a few minutes ago I was obviously crying.

Mike and Rey's whereabouts are still looming, as long as they haven't really been caught I should expect an attack like this will definitely come again.

“Don't think much of a sort.” Bayu came to me.

“Can I borrow your phone? I can't let that criminal get taken care of by the police.” I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out my phone, giving it to him while my eyes could not be seen the criminals who were still surrounded by complex people.

Bayu slightly walked away when he made the phone call. From his gestures and tone I already suspected he was contacting his superior. As Bayu and the people were busy talking, I once again stared at Bayu's jeep car which had its glass hanging out in the front seat.

My mind floated, thinking about the beginning of this glass breaking and then Bayu's fight with the two criminals. It all happened in a matter of minutes but it felt like my heart was still beating fast not to die down either.

Reflex I touched my chest, if I remember this morning I still feel attacked and my chest is still very painful. But because of the heart medication that Stefan prescribed slowly began to improve. Then now that the heart attack is under control, what I feel is a strong adrenaline that also makes my heart beat fast.

“Are you hurt?” I turned around quickly to hear Bayu's voice.

This man was already standing behind me while thrusting the phone he had borrowed. “No. How're you? He hit your back. What hurts?”

Bayu smiled little. “Such blows are common to me. Not as sick as you think.”

I sighed softly and shook my head. “Tell me if it hurts. Which side? Here?”

I move behind his back, then my hand rubs that part. Bayu turned around again to face me making my arms loose unable to reach her back.

Her little smile still lingered as her hand grabbed my right hand that was used to check her pocket earlier. “I'm really fine. My body is very strong.”

I was silent in thought, looking up to look at him, looking for lies from the look in his eyes. But I was fascinated by his handsome face. His eyelashes were long and his eyes were like black pearls. His bangs fell on his forehead and his hair swayed slowly as it blew in the wind.

A man like this maybe he just has to stand there and a lot of beautiful women will approach him, ‘ right?

What was I thinking? Is it time to think about that?? Moreover, this was almost midnight but his handsome face was still clearly visible.

I blinked and took a deeper breath then smiled in embarrassment for being blatantly fascinated like this, plus my face heated up. Holy jeez!!

“B—good! Tell me if it hurts.” Why do I have to answer it stuttering like this!!!

“Why look at me like that?” Obviously Bayu seemed confused by my reaction. Lucky Bayu didn't know what I was thinking. Ha ha's.

I shook my head again, smiled widely and turned away from him, walking closer to the crowd of these compound gentlemen who were discussing while surrounding the unconscious criminals.

“Nona Icha knows not the same villain?” The middle-aged man I knew his face as the head of RT, Mr. Sanjaya asked me.

“No. I don't know who he is.”

“Have the police reported?”

“No. Some of my friends will come, we will take care of it.” Bayu answered the celebration of Mr. Sanjaya.

Then one of the men ran over and handed over the rope to Mr. Sanjaya who was immediately asked by Bayu so that he himself tied the hands and feet of the criminal.

“Do not report to the police alone?” One of the men in the crowd was still unsure of Bayu, they all looked at me and Bayu took turns.

Because it was Bayu's decision, my reflexes lowered my eyes on the man who was tying the criminal's hands. Waiting for what Bayu will say.

“It's okay. My teammate will take care of it. We—“

“Ohh! You're a soldier?!” Mr. Sanjaya interrupted Bayu's speech which immediately got a mutter from everyone. Bayu stood up and retreated to stand beside me.

This man smiled. Actually I'm confused what makes the head of this RT can guess. But my gaze was immediately fixed on the rope bond that Bayu completed. That's a complicated but neat knot of rope that I'm sure a soldier learned.

“Jadi—“

“Wood! My name is Bayu.” Bayu returned the hand of Mr. Sanjaya who was confused to call what to him.

After answering a few questions and convincing everyone that Bayu would bring this criminal, the crowd began to disperse and only left Mr. Sanjaya with 3 other people.

Not long while we were still talking outside, two black cars stopped in front of the gate of my house. Five men got out of the car and all of them immediately lined up saluting Bayu.

“Captain!” Their cries in unison. All members of the Bayu team are standing before us now with their own free clothing styles.

“Sorry for interrupting your vacation time. I need your help.” Bayu stepped forward a bit away from us and the man seemed to be briefing his five limbs on what they should do.

“So, Bayu's her boyfriend non Icha?” Mr. Sanjaya's whisper distracts me.

“Of course it must be his girlfriend!” The one who answered enthusiastically was precisely the middle-aged man beside her.
