EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 93

...

“No! You have a fever!”

“But you don't know where his house is, let me take it!”

“I can ask! Quickly log in.”

Finally I relented and entered the house, Bayu smiled widely before the door was closed by him. The man had stepped towards the gate and opened it.

“Cha, let's have breakfast first.” Doctor Stefan's voice appeared at the door connecting to the dining room. I nodded and joined them all.

Arriving at the dinner table, almost everyone finished their breakfast.

“In some occasions we often get together, in fact we have not officially introduced ourselves.” Jack started talking when I was sitting down to join them.

He's right, I don't know all the members of Bayu's team. “Really! Because the circumstances of the introduction at the beginning we missed. I'm Natasha Icha, you can call me Icha.”

“I'm Jack, of course we already know. He's Vincent, the most senior among the four of us.” Jack pointed at the tall, white man I remember being seen often leading to the other four members when they met Bayu.

Vincent nodded and smiled to greet me. I smiled back at him.

“This Noval.” The man who had darker skin than the others waved at me.

“Mika Ferdian.” This time the man who had narrowed eyes nodded at me.

“Then there is Rama.”

“Halo, Rama is here.” The man sitting in front of me thrust out his right hand and I immediately shook his hand. He seemed to have a friendlier face among all of them.

“We really like the gift you gave Bayu a week ago.” Hearing Rama's words, they all laughed and nodded and began to snatch the gift. Rama reminded me of the gift I gave Bayu in the hospital when he was about to go on assignment, I forgot to discuss it yet

by Bayu.

“Yaa, I almost forgot about it. Hows it? Does Bayu like it too?”

“Of course! Only this first time did we see the captain flinched in such shock. Hahaha.” Noval laughed more satisfied than the others.

“With the help of doctor Stefan who managed to find the thing.” Doctor Stefan who had been listening silently since then immediately glanced at me.

“I never knew the boy was afraid of such a toy.” He said he didn't believe it.

“Actually I am also not sure if he is still afraid of the toy, but it turns out he is still shocked. Probably because of his loud voice.”

“Five minutes before we landed, the captain suddenly opened the box and the originally very serious atmosphere turned full of laughter as we saw the surprised expression of the captain throwing the box.” Jack said excitedly.

“I've never seen such a captain's expression.” Vincent chimed.

“Indeed usually what kind of expression?” Askaqua.

“That we often see a serious expression or when ignorant.” Jack seemed to think.

“Happy? Sad?” I asked again which made all the team members look at each other giving questioning gazes.

“As long as I knew him, the boy was like that. If not a serious face, yes, his ignorant face. Nothing else.” Doctor Stefan chimed in, which made me frown between not understanding and not believing.

“Smiling??” Ask again.

“Yaa smile, but like not a really loose smiling expression.” This time Mika answered.

“It can indeed be understood because we are often together with the captain only when working. Beyond that, we've never really been on vacation with him.”

“Why?” I looked at Rama who made that statement.

“Rama really admire the phonex team, just ignore.” Vincent clucked with Rama's behavior.

“Despite the name of the phonex team but they are not an arbitrary team. There are many difficult tasks that they often complete. Even their team is famous among officials and businessmen because they often ask for help on the military phonex team for certain problems.” Doctor Stefan explained.

“Maybe you've met his members while in that village.” Said Jack.

“Siapa—“ I frowned the deeper the memory play while there. Then the faces of the two men I remember chatting with Bayu as we were going home appeared.

“Are they Lifer and Ronald?”

“Yes! That's them! Lucifer and Grey. Then one more Benny the Black.” Rama called out in excitement. Looks like this guy really admires the phonex team. Rama was most pleased when discussing them.

“One day the phonex team lost contact with the center for almost a month. The superiors had thought they had fallen in the line of duty but they persevered and returned! The task given was successful.”

“I remember that! They returned with severe injuries. For one month they were in brackets and in torment.”

Doctor Stefan chimed in on Rama's words which made me no longer have a taste for food.

“Then what happened?” I asked to see Doctor Stefan.

As if understanding the meaning of my question, this honey-brown-haired man replied. “They underwent healing and rehabilitation for more than a month. For ordinary people should have their healing time of at least three months over the wounds they get but it turns out they can heal faster.”

I never expected to hear this side of Bayu's work. He's a great guy. His charisma feels different for the size of a captain.

Our chatter stopped as the sound of my phone shakes the atmosphere. The flat object on the table was twitching a sign of an incoming call. I immediately stood up and said goodbye to them to pick up the phone to see the name on the screen.

“Halo, Mr Seno? What's up?” Sapaku answered the phone after being in the front living room.

“Halo Icha! Sorry to interrupt early. I have something to say about the name change process

heritage.”

“It's okay sir. How's development?”

“Yesterday I tried to file it but it was not able to. From their system there is a verification that must be passed.”

“What should be with the original certificate? I'll pick it up soon, because it's out of town—“

“Not, not that. Because of the previous condition proposed that Miss Icha must be married to be able to

change the name, while the situation is now that the condition has not been met then there must be verification of approval from the group company Eternity.”

I was speechless to hear it, why does it have to be this complicated just to change the name?! Even the Eternity group was brought up in this case which I didn't really want to get in touch with.

My feeling is that if I get in touch with the company, there will be a lot of problems waiting.

“Icha? Miss Icha?”

“Yes Seno sir, I understand.”

“The last step to succeed is just a verification stay from them.”

“Good. I'll call you back later.”

“Oke.”

Then the connection is cut off. I was still sitting silently staring at this glass table in front of me. I've made sure you'll go berserk later, think I'm a liar, and this time I don't seem to be out of the Eternity group.

My daydream was up when my phone shook again and another call came in.
