PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Hunting Joe

After exiting Isabella's room, Grace returned to her room. He deliberately does not want to interfere with the time Rizal and Isabella are together. I don't know what else in the room there is a photo of Rizal and Sonia, Mamih from Isabella. Looking at the sharp eyes and thin smile of Sonia made Grace uncomfortable. He actually felt as a bully of the happy family. Sonia died six years ago before Rizal knew her.

Grace took her phone. He wanted to contact someone, but he was hesitant to connect the phone number he wanted to go to. But after consideration, he finally convinced himself to keep contacting the person.

" What did you call Mama, Grace?" Agatha's tone was still unfriendly to Grace's ears, as her phone call was picked up by her Mother.

" Mom, is it true that Mama met Joe in Bandung?" she asked Grace, thinking of the story of Rivaldi who said if Joe did something rude to his mother.

" Where did you know Mama met that breng sek?" agatha asked in surprise, because Grace knew about her meeting with Joe a few days ago in Bandung.

" Aldi told me," said Grace honestly saying that it was Rivaldi who made her know about Joe's appearance.

" Aldi? You're communicating with Aldi, Grace?" Agatha's tone now turned more excited, thinking her daughter was back in a relationship with Rizal again.

" I just met him, Mom. What did Joe do to Mama?" Grace is intrigued by Rivaldi's remarks, which tell her that Joe was being rude to Agatha.

" The breng sek was encouraging Mama until Mama almost fell. Fortunately, Aldi came to help Mom at the right time. It's no exaggeration if Mama hopes Aldi becomes Mama's daughter-in-law, right?" Agatha still felt that her choice was still better compared to her own child's choice.

" Mam, stop! Don't keep talking about that! I'm married and I'm happy with my marriage!" emphatically Grace, does not like her mother always harassed her marriage to Rizal, even though she was very happy with her marriage to a man nineteen years above her age.

" Why did you meet Aldi?" ask Agatha curiously. When it comes to Rivaldi, Agatha always seems enthusiastic.

" Today Aldi helped my husband's son who was almost raped by Joe, Mam." Grace mentioned the reason for meeting with Rivaldi this afternoon.

" What??" Agatha's voice sounded aghast at the news Grace had told her. " How did your husband know Joe?" ask Agatha wonder.

" I don't know either, Mom. What was Joe's motive for rape Bella? But, thankfully, it didn't happen, because Aldi saved Bella." Grace couldn't have imagined if there wasn't a Rivaldi helping Isabella this afternoon, maybe Isabella would be Joe's next victim, too,

" Tuh, right!? What did mom say too? Aldi is indeed good, you alone cannot realize the kindness of Aldi!" back Agatha boasts Rivaldi, as the right husband-to-be for Grace according to her.

" Once it is, Mam,! Don't reveal that again! I called Mama because I wanted to know what Joe did to Mama." Grace reasoned to just want to know what Joe did to his Mama, because that was the purpose of calling his Mama.

" Yes, I hung up. Bye Mama ...."

Not wanting Mama to continue to boast of Rivaldi, Grace chose to end communication with Agatha. He does not want to talk about Rivaldi with his mother, because he believes that his mother will continue to defend Rivaldi and blame him for preferring Rizal.

Just now Grace put the phone on the nightstand, suddenly her phone was back beeping. Grace took the flat object back from the nightstand.

Grace frowned when she found Rivaldi's phone number sending a message on her phone. Grace quickly opened the incoming message from Rivaldi's.

" How is he doing?" A question asked about Isabella's situation. That's the message from Rivaldi.

" It's still in shock. How did you get to the scene at the scene?" Grace quickly replies, asking how Rivaldi helped Grace.

" Do you suspect I'm involved in this case?" Reply to the incoming message from Rivaldi seemed to feel if Grace doubted him.

" Looking at your lunge all along, I think it's only natural that I suspect." Grace conveyed her reason for asking that.

" Can I call you?” Rivaldi asked permission to make a phone call.

Garce thought for a moment. Actually he himself lazy to talk on the phone with Rivaldi, but he also felt too complicated to communicate via chat, because many things he had to ask the man about Joe.

" Okay!" sahut Grace brief.

" Would a video call be allowed?😉" reply Rivalfo by putting on a smile emoji with. blinking eyes.

" Don't fuck around, you!👊" Grace replied by adding a fist emoji to the front.

There was no reply from Rivaldi. The man called Grace.

" Hello ..." Grace picked up Rivaldi's phone call.

" Is your husband not angry you received a phone call from a man?" sindir Rivaldi chuckled. She was happy to finally be able to make another phone call with Grace.

" If it wasn't because I wanted to know about what happened to Bella, I wouldn't have taken a call from you either!" grace's reply responded to Rivaldi's insinuation. " So, what caused you to be there this afternoon?" Not wanting to talk much, Grace again demanded an answer from Rivaldi.

" I was on my way home to work after meeting my old friends. And all of a sudden I saw the car that Joe was wearing in Bandung yesterday. I was following that car, and it turned out to stop where your stepson was teaching. I also didn't think he was picking up Bella."

" I saw a suspicious wave, so I followed them to the apartment where the case was." At length Rivaldi explained how he got there. He is not a superhero who suddenly happens to help, but because he had previously stalked Joe and followed the car used by Joe.

" Now, do you still suspect me?" Rivaldi ends the sentence by questioning Grace's doubts about her.

" Okay, I can accept your alibi,” said Grace can accept Rivaldi's self-defense.

" Oh yeah, I think it's best if your husband gives his daughter a special escort, if you don't want something like this afternoon to happen again. Because I got word from my men, it turns out that your ex-lover managed to escape. When security arrived there, the bek was no longer in place. " Rivaldi gave advice in addition to providing an explanation about Joe's escape from the apartment before being caught.

" what?? He managed to escape?" Grace was shocked to hear that her ex-boyfriend had managed to escape the scene.

" Yes, it turned out to be more slippery than I thought," replied Rivaldi.

A rude gasp sounded from Grace's nose. He seemed disappointed by the news. Actually Grace wishes Joe was really wrapped up, because he really got you in with all of Joe's behavior.

After damaging it, injuring his neck, now Joe wants to stain Isabella, if he can meet directly with the man, wants him to cut his neck, wants him to make a battered face. or if necessary he po tong kemau luannya all of you so as not to be able to act again.

" I've investigated Joe before. From the number of the car he was wearing, he was working for someone named Cyntia. The mistress of a boss, and Joe was assigned to be the woman's bodyguard." Rivaldi also told about the woman who became the boss for Rivaldi.

" The woman is like you, has a husband thirty years older than her. I don't think Joe is just a bodyguard for that woman, because Joe also lives in the same apartment as that Cyntia woman. You understand, don't you mean?"

" That means, Joe being the woman's mistress?" grace asked in surprise, knowing that Joe had easily gotten a new prey.

" Are you feeling jealous?" rivaldi's insinuations suggest that Grace still harbors a love for Joe. Because from the Agatha story she heard, Grace was willing to leave the family for Joe.

" Well, who's jealous!? Right now I only love my husband, not other men including him!" emphatically Grace denied the accusations of Rivaldi, because he was longing to no longer want the man.

" I'll send you data about Joe's boss. Maybe your husband wants to investigate Joe further . But, it's possible that the bereng sek did not dare to go back there because he left his car just like that in the basement of the TKP apartment." Rivaldi promised to provide data on people who might be able to provide information about Joe.

“Okay, thanks." Only a short answer from Grace echoed Rivaldi's words.

" Who are you talking to, honey?" Rizal's sudden voice in the room made Grace gasp.

" P-Frains ?” Grace did not expect that her husband would return to the room. Rizal said he would accompany Isabella. Grace immediately disconnected her phone with Rivaldi.

" Whose phone are you calling?" Rizal repeated his question. Rizal watched Grace's shocked face see herself coming into the room.

" So Aldi called, Pih." replied Grace. She was not nice to her husband because he was caught calling another man without Rizal's knowledge

" Aldi? What's he calling you?_ Serious tone and full of investigation directly thrown Rizal.

" Aldi just told me that Joe managed to escape before the security appartment arrived at the scene, Pih." Grace recounted a little of her conversation with Rivaldi on the phone to Rizal.

" Joe got away??" Rizal looked furious. He even slammed his fist towards the other palm. " It's really like that fucking eel!" Rizal cursed with great emotion. Of course Rizal felt emotions. Joe almost desecrated Rizal's favorite daughter. Any father would be very angry and disappointed if he found his daughter fared like Isabella. Any father will also be sure to meet the perpetrator because of the behavior of bia dab that person.

" Aldi said Joe is currently working for a mistress of a big boss. Aldi's gonna send the guy's address if Papih wants to find Joe." Grace also explained the other information she got from Rivaldi.

" I won't forgive that brunette, Grace!" Rizal was still enveloped in an aura of anger. Rizal's revenge is not only because of Joe's treatment of Grace, but also because of Joe's actions to Rizal's favorite daughter, Isabella.

Grace immediately wrapped her hands around her husband's waist. " Pih, I'm sorry. Joe did this for sure because he wanted to repay me." To her husband Grace conveyed her guilt. Grace still feels that what Joe did to Isabella because Joe wants to repay her.

" You don't have to feel guilty like that, Grace. It's not all your fault." Rizal does not feel that what happened to Isabella is Grace's fault. " After all, it should be you who deserves that grudge against him, not the other way around!" Rizal assumes that Joe doesn't deserve to hold a grudge against Grace. Because that man was just a parasite in Grace's life all along. How can it not be described as a parasite? Because when he was with Grace, all of Joe's needs were met. Joe is unemployed, but always saves a lot of money. Where else would the money have come from if not from Grace's savings account.

" Oh yeah, why did Papih go back to the room ? Didn't Papih say he would accompany Bella?" Grace loosened her arms from Rizal's body and asked Rizal why she left Isabella, but her husband said he would accompany Isabella and sleep in Isabella's room.

" I want to take a shower first, my body feels so sticky because I've been in the field all day." Rizal sniffed his own body, he felt an unpleasant and sticky smell due to sweat, because today he had a lot of outdoor activities.

" Then is Bella alone in the room?" ask Grace. He intends to accompany Isabella during Rizal's bath.

" Bi Tinah I told you to accompany Grace for a while" said Rizal.

" Yes, take a shower first, huh! I'll get the clothes ready. Papih's been eating yet?" ask Grace later.

" Before I went home I had a meal with Vito" replied Rizal.

" Yes, the hunt for a bath, let it be fresh,” Grace smiled rubbed the husband's shoulder before finally moving towards the closet to prepare pajamas for her husband. While Rizal directly stepped into the bathroom.

***

Rizal moves alone in investigating a case of trial permerko saan conducted by Joe against his daughter. The first time the place visited by the man was the apartment where things happened. Rizal went directly to the apartment manager to ask for the results of cctv recordings in the basement from the elevator, the apartment corridor to the apartment guest room. From the recording, Rizal can see the face of his daughter who looks anxious and uncomfortable. And the footage of Joe smothering and forcibly dragging Isabella into the apartment into the room instantly makes Rizal's teeth tighten, coupled with a hardened jaw and fist, shows that the man is being influenced by such strong emotions.

After finishing getting information from the apartment manager, now Rizal comes to Cyntia's apartment to hunt down Joe.

Rizal pressed the bell for the second time because when the first bell he rang, there was no response from the owner of the apartment. Shortly from Rizal pressing the second bell, the door of the apartment opened and showed a beautiful woman from behind the door.

The woman looked at Rizal from the top of her hair to the top of her feet. The charming appearance of the man before her made Cyntia look at Rizal unblinkingly.

A handsome face with a masculine look certainly makes anyone who sees will be captivated. The neatly arranged eyebrows. Highlight the sharp eyes as if hammering the clock directly into the heart. Moustache and sideburns are thick, immediately Cyntia's mind immediately fantasizes.

" Good day, Madam. Is this really where Miss Cyntia Amanda lives?" rizal asked, making Cyntia blink her eyes.

" Oh, i-iya's right. Sorry, who is this, huh?" asked Cyntia trying to master herself from her grooves.

" I'm Rizal Gunawan, I'm from the investigator's office. There's something I want to ask you, Madam. Would you like to give your time a minute?" ask Rizal for permission. Rizal must be polite even though his heart is being overwhelmed by emotions because of Joe's actions to his daughter.

" Investigator's office? W-what's up, huh?" Cyntia looks nervous. He didn't think that Rizal wanted to find information about Joe. He actually thought that Rizal was a man who was the legal wife of her husband. Because all this time the existence of himself and his son was covered up by the husband.
