PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Fashion Show

Grace reads the latest news on her phone that tells her that Agatha is holding a fashion show in Bandung. For his profession, Agatha is indeed very total, so it is not surprising if he is very successful now.

Grace mende legitimately and put her cell phone on the sofa room. Grace seemed to pity herself. What is lacking in his family? Treasures abound, both from the efforts of his Father and from his Mother. But ever since he entered adolescence, he felt a void. His father was often sickly and hospitalized until he died and his mother remarried to a man younger than his mother. Especially after that he was entangled with promiscuity since he knew Joe. Still good he didn't touch the drugs.

" What's up?" rizal asked who was sitting next to Grace. Ever since coming out of the bathroom, he noticed that his wife was daydreaming, not knowing what was going through Grace's mind right now.

" It's nothing, Pih." Grace denies that she misses her childhood.

" Don't hide anything from your husband!" Rizal can guess if Grace is thinking of something she doesn't want to know.

" It's nothing, Pih! I just read the news about Mama's plan to hold a fashion show in Bandung." Grace only conveyed about the event that will be held by her mother, without telling what she was feeling at this time.

" Oh yeah? When's show?" ask Rizal later.

" Morrow." Short answer given by Grace.

" We're gonna look over there?" ask Rizal. He wanted him and his wife to be able to attend an important event organized by Agatha. To prove that they care deeply and support the Agatha profession.

" No need, Pih!" reject Grace quickly. Grace just wants to avoid a debate with Agatha if she comes to the show. Because he was sure, his presence there Rizal was not expected by Agatha there.

" why? It's your Mama's event, you should support your Mama." Rizal never stopped advising Grace to be more gentle with Agatha. Of course, his marriage to Grace did not want to make Grace and Agatha's relationship that had been estranged increasingly distant.

" Mama doesn't need that, Pih! Without our support, Mama will definitely be successful with her show" said Grace. She knew her mother was an independent woman, without her support, she could succeed with her career as a famous designer.

" Can't talk like that. After all, the mother and child must support each other. The presence of the family, though unspoken from Mama's mouth, will definitely make Mama happy, Grace." rebuked Rizal commenting on Grace's still harsh attitude towards Agatha.

" Mom doesn't support our marriage!" grace's loud protest. Looks like Grace is still very upset because her mother did not approve of her marriage. She is very happy with her marriage to Rizal.

" But that doesn't mean we have to act like you do. We have to prove if we support Mama, no matter how Mama's attitude toward us." Rizal disagrees with Grace's attitude of wanting to reciprocate her mother's treatment by doing the same, not caring or not assuming what is going on with Agatha .

" I don't want Mama to ignore Papih later if we come there!" Grace reasoned, she rested her head on the husband's shoulder.

" No problem, the important thing is we intend to both come there." Rizal did not care what his mother-in-law's attitude was to him. Most importantly he had good intentions for Agatha.

" Pih, Mama did not want the public to know if Mama has a daughter-in-law who is like Papih! Mama was embarrassed if caught the age of her daughter-in-law was only eight years from Mama. So we better not go there!" Grace insisted that she did not want to attend Agatha's event, which will be held in Bandung, even though Rizal was ready to take any risks.

" Ashalamalaikum, Ma." Rivaldi greets Arina who looks busy with her ornamental plants in the yard next to the house.

The morning after dawn, Rivaldi returned to Bandung, because he got an invitation to a fashion show from Agatha in the city of flowers. Although he failed to become Agatha's son-in-law, Agatha still had good communication with him and Rivaldi intended to invite his mother to attend Agatha's invitation.

" Waalaikumsalam, Aldi. Have you come?" Arina took off her glove when she saw Rivaldi's arrival and washed her hands from the tap water.

" Yes, Ma." Rivaldi approached and hugged Arina. " Papa still hasn't come home from Solo, Ma?" ask Rivaldi later.

" The next afternoon Papa will go home" replied Arina. " You how's it going, Aldi?" tanya Arina rubbed her son's arm. Since the last conversation when Rivaldi said if Grace was married, they had just met again.

" As you see now." Rivaldi then brought Arina into the family room to talk together there.

" Oh yeah, Aldi. Tumben once you want to come to the show fashion show." Because his son is usually rarely willing to struggle in fields that are not related to his work, making himself amazed when Rivaldi invited him to the event.

" The designer who held the event was Aunt Agatha, Ma. And Aunt Agatha is Rena's mother." Rivaldi explained why he was interested in coming to an event held by Agatha.

" Rena's mother? Aldi, don't you say that you're still expecting Rena, son! Rena is married to the man of her choice. Mama doesn't agree if you keep going after the woman who's been somebody's wife, Aldi!" Arina is surprised to find out that the person who invited Rivaldi is the parents of Grace, to make her think that her son still expects Grace even though Grace is already the wife of another man.

" Aldi, don't scare Mama, son! Mama's not willing if you do things you shouldn't do, Aldi. You're young, you're handsome. You can get a much better woman than Rena." Even Arina held her son's hand. Although Rivaldi was not born from his womb he did not feel willing if Rivaldi did the wrong thing in his life. So far, Arina does not know how the child lunge he continued during his stay in Jakarta.

Rivaldi looked at the figure of the woman who since she was a child had become a figure of a mother for him. Not just Mama connect but already like the figure of Mama Blung who is needed by her.

Like at the moment. Arina showed anxiety on her face. Of course because Arina was worried about Rivaldi.

" Mommy, don't worry about that. Aldi won't do anything that will disappoint you" Rivaldi said. He should be able to calm Arina even though he realized many bad things he did that would disappoint Arina if Mama continued to know his behavior.

Guests who come in the fashion show held by Agatha look very enthusiastic. The theme carried in the circumference of the clothes this time is themed Nusantara. Agatha chose to design her work using some traditional fabrics from several regions in Indonesia.

" Mama's first time coming to an event like this, Aldi. If you don't ask, where might Mama get in here" whispered Arina to Rivaldi next to her.

" This mom is the wife of a garment entrepreneur. Mama should often come to events like this, who knows later Papa's garment company will hold a fashion show like this too." Rivaldi just chuckled at Arina.

" You're all right, Aldi!" sahut Arina shook her head in response to Rivaldi's words earlier

While in another corner there is a man who looks restless when present at the fashion show. He is Joe, who is asked by Cyntia to accompany him to attend the Agatha fashion show.

Cyntia is a dress user from the design of Agatha, so she also wants to attend the fashion show. Of course, because of the continued funding from her husband, she could enjoy all the luxury facilities she wanted, she said, such as attending the current event which is attended by many celebrities as well as other socialites.

The show closed by presenting Agatha who walked with a bouquet of flowers in her hand flanked by several models and models who became demonstrating her works earlier on the catwalk.

" Aldi!"

Rivaldi stopped his steps who wanted to leave the venue, when he heard Agatha's voice calling his name. He looked back at the direction Agatha's voice came from.

" Aldi, thank you for attending this Auntie event." Agatha expressed her gratitude that Rivaldi was willing to come to her invitation.

" Together, Aunt. Congratulations on the successful fashion show, Auntie." Rivaldi congratulated on the smooth running of the event held by Agatha.

" Thank you, Aldi." Agatha glanced towards the middle-aged woman next to Rivaldi. " Is this your Mama, Aldi?" tanyanya.

" Yes, Aunt. This is Mama Arina, my Mama." Rivaldi introduces Arina to Agatha.

" How are you, madam? I'm Agatha, it's a pleasure to meet her Mama Aldi." Agatha introduced herself to Arina while extending her hand to Arina.

" Thank God I am good, Miss Agatha. I'm Arina ..." Arina welcomed Agatha's hand.

" Aunte Agatha's Mama Rena, Ma." Rivaldi also explained to Arina who Agatha was, although he had previously had time to tell.

" I had a chance to meet with Mother's daughter, Rena. I am so happy to meet Rena. Oh yeah, congratulations on Rena's wedding, Miss Agatha." Arina, who was not aware of the confusion between Grace and Agatha, said casually.
