PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Like Parasites

Cyntia noticed Rizal's handsome face. If remembered, it seemed like he had seen someone like Rizal, but somewhere, he did not remember too clearly. Maybe when he went to treatment at the salon, or when he was gyming at the fitness center, maybe also when he relaxed at the cafe. Because he often met handsome men of athletic stature like Rizal, especially where he exercised.

" Does Madam mind if I ask you, Madam?" No response from Cyntia. Even Cyntia seemed to be staring at him, Rizal again asked a question.

" Eh, oh, sorry, Mas. Come on in!" Cyntia gasps and immediately lets Rizal into her apartment, though with a pounding heart and wonders what the purpose of Rizal's arrival will be.

" Please sit down, Mom!* Cyntia invites Rizal to sit on the sofa of her apartment living room.

" Thank you, Madam." Rizal sits his body on the sofa appointed by Cyntia.

" So, what's the need for this Mas to look for me?" Faced with such intense curiosity, Cyntia quickly asked Rizal.

" So, Madam." Rizal picks up his phone to show Cyntia something.

" Is this car really yours?" ask Rizal later.

Cyntia rounded her eyeballs when she saw a picture of her car on Rizal's cell phone. And how can Rizal save a picture of his car? That was Cyntia's question.

" I-yes, it's really my car" replied Cyntia honestly. " What's wrong with my car, huh?" ask Cyntia later. Because the car was being carried by Joe since yesterday afternoon. Joe reasoned there was a need to go to Bogor and borrow his car. He didn't even suspect that Joe picked Isabella up yesterday at her seat.

" Your car is currently in the basement of apartment X, and secured by the apartment manager." Rizal told me where the car was.

" secured? What do you mean, Mas?" Cyntia was confused by the intent of the word secured, as if her car was troubled and made a mistake.

" Do you know someone named Joe?" Rizal starts talking about Joe with Cyntia.

" Joe? What's wrong with Joe, Mom?" Immediately anxiety hit Cyntia. He was afraid something bad was happening to Joe.

" I'm looking for Joe's whereabouts, madam. Because Joe left this car last night in the basement of apartment X." Rizal explains that his goal in visiting Cyntia was to find Joe's whereabouts.

" Joe left that car in the basement of apartment X? But, Joe said that he was going to Bogor yesterday." Cyntia can't believe that Joe left her car in the basement of an apartment. Cyntia also explained that her car was borrowed by Joe since yesterday afternoon.

" In fact yesterday afternoon, Joe had taken my daughter to that apartment and was intending to rape my daughter, Madam!" The words spoken by Rizal kali were spoken in a tone full of emphasis.

" What??" Like being struck by lightning, Cyntia hears news delivered by Rizal to her about Joe who intends to desecrate the daughter of Rizal. Even who is the daughter of Rizal she does not know him, because she has not realized that Rizal is the parent of Isabella, her son's tutor, Cantika.

" I-it's impossible!" Feeling tight in the chest Cyntia faced the reality conveyed by Rizal about Joe, the man who had always been satisfied in the affairs of the bed was still looking for satisfaction with other women. Moreover, the woman is the teacher tutoring her own child.

" The reality is that, Madam!" Rizal confirmed what he said was true. " Joe came to my son's course and said if he was given the assignment by you to pick up my daughter who wants to tutor your daughter! But the truth is, she took it somewhere else and tried to rape Bella, my son!" Rizal finally reveals who he really is to Cyntia.

Cyntia was shocked when Rizal mentioned Isabella. At that moment his memory of Rizal opened. It's fitting that he ever saw Rizal. At that time he was more focused on the figure of Grace that Rizal recognized as a wife.

" J-so this Mas, hmmm . I mean, this Father is Bella's father who met me yesterday at the restaurant?" Cyntia recalled her meeting with Rizal at the restaurant.

" You've remembered who I look like." The words spoken from Rizal's mouth sounded cold. Because Rizal thought that Isabella was also seen for the events that happened to Isabella.

The flashback

Rizal watched Isabella who was asleep. His daughter's face looked calmer even though the rubble in her eyes had not disappeared. Rizal stroked Isabella's head and gave a kiss on her beloved daughter's forehead.

Rizal's eyes were now directed at Isabella's bag that Bi Tinah had placed on the sofa in her room. Rizal tries to find out if there are any clues from Isabella's phone about Isabella's relationship with Joe. Rizal finally took Isabella's phone.

Rizal read one by one the incoming messages on his daughter's phone. There were three incoming messages on Isabella's phone, in addition to a missed call from her. The message came from her, Fauziah and Mom Cantika.

" Bell, tomorrow don't forget to bring my book, yeah!" That's an incoming message from Fauziah.

There was nothing strange about the incoming messages from his daughter's best friend.

" Mom Bella, not today les? You see, Cantika has a lot of peers, here!"

Another message from Mom Cantika was read by Rizal. Rizal himself opened a profile photo from Mom Cantika. Because the message was about tutoring, while Joe also picked up Isabella at the tutoring place. Does that have anything to do with Joe? That's Rizal's question.

There is a picture of a beautiful woman with a little girl both photos in front of the globe that reads UNIVERSAL, a recreation place that only exists abroad.

Rizal zooms in on the profile picture of the mother and daughter. He remembered the little boy in the photo was the little boy he had met when he and his family enjoyed eating together at a restaurant. The investigator's soul began to work. He remembered that the little boy in the photo had mentioned Joe's name at the time.

" Is this woman Joe's boss?" Rizal.

" Joe picked up Bella at the tutoring place, and this girl was a tutoring student from Bella. At that time this boy had mentioned the name Joe Means Joe called the little boy is the same Joe with the breng sek? Si al! Just watch if I find you, you son of a bitch! What you did to my daughter, I won't forgive and I'll make sure you rot in jail!" rizal growled with clenched hands.

The next day after enjoying breakfast, Rizal and Grace try to talk to Isabella, to find out what really happened yesterday. He hopes his daughter is calmer so he can provide the information needed to find Joe's whereabouts.

" Bella, have you started to improve, son?" asked Rizal who was sitting opposite Isabella on the edge of Isabella's bed. Grace sat next to Isabella.

" Yes, Pih. But Bella's still scared ..." Isabella's eyeballs began to glaze over, indicating that the woman was still in shock and fear.

Grace spontaneously rubbed Isabella's arm trying to calm Isabella who still looks traumatized. He could understand Isabella's feelings. Grace still feels guilty about what happened to Isabella, because the perpetrator who almost desecrated Isabella was her former lover. Grace hopes that if Isabella finds out about it, Isabella doesn't blame her much less hate her.

" You don't be afraid anymore, honey. Papih won't let a single person hurt you anymore." Rizal clasped his daughter's hand. Trying to encourage his daughter so as not to continue to grieve and fall.

" Papih told Fauziah that you haven't been to college for a few days. Papih also forbids you to teach again. You're in college, Bella! Don't think about anything else but college! Papih will also have people take you wherever you go so that no one else will behave badly towards you." Rizal has made a decision about Isabella's duties at the tutoring institution that must be ended and also about the person who will focus on keeping Isabella.

" Now you tell the same story Papih. How did you get along with Joe?" tanya Rizal started to investigate.

Isabella took a deep breath before she began to tell him about the frightening events that happened to her yesterday.

" Bella ... Bella doesn't know, Pih. The man suddenly came to Bimbel's place. He said he wanted to pick up Bella. At first Bella refuses, but she says Cantika is not in her apartment. The man said Cantika was at his Tantika's house and he was told to pick up Bella to drive her to Cantika's Aunt. But ..." Isabella stopped her sentence. He braced himself to say the next sentence. " But he wants to rape Bella, Pih. Bella's so scared, pih." Isabella's tears broke again.

Grace immediately wrapped her arms around Isabella's shoulders and rubbed her back. While Rizal snorted violently. His guess turned out to be true. The person she saw on Isabella's social media chat account profile was in contact with Joe.

" So, while let me pick Bella up, not Vito! Vito has his own job in the office, right? Fear like yesterday, Papih told Vito to pick up Bella, even Papih gave her another assignment to Vito." Rather than nothing Grace does, the woman offers to drive Isabella if she wants to go somewhere, including to campus.

" Didn't it bother you, Garce?" Rizal pity if his wife had to take Isabella to his campus.

" It's okay, Pih. Than nothing I've done. I'd better take Bella for a while until Papih gets the guy who can take care of Bella."

Rizal smiles happily, it turns out Grace is so sincere towards her daughter even though Isabella still can not accept Grace well. And he hopes the wisdom of this incident makes his wife and child can be closer and closer.

Flashback off

Cyntia breathed quite hard. He really did not expect if all this time Joe was targeting private tutor Cantika. All this time, he served Joe well. Not only did she serve in bed, but she also gave a lot of money that her husband gave to Joe. Cyntia really feels cheated by Joe after listening to Rizal's narration about the actions done by Joe to Isabella. He was embarrassed by Joe's treatment. Especially when doing the action, Joe brought his car. If Joe gets dragged into the law, he'll be carried away because the car will be used as evidence. Until now, his car has not returned because it is still being held by the apartment manager.

" I'm not involved in this, sir. I don't know at all about Joe's plan to desecrate Mr. Rizal's daughter." Cyntia immediately gives an explanation so that Rizal does not misunderstand and accuses him of being involved. Although his heart felt very disappointed knowing Joe was targeting other women to vent has rat bira hi the man. At first he thought that Joe was satisfied with what he gave.

" Can the Madam tell you where Joe lives right now?" rizal asked, hoping that Cyntia would work with him to catch Joe

" I don't know, Sir." Cyntia never knew where Joe lived before. And Cyntia also never cared about where Joe lived before.

" I just heard she's boarding but never knew where." Cyntia told me the truth about what Joe said.

" Mrs don't know where she lives?" Rizal is surprised that Cyntia does not know where Joe lives.

" No, I don't know, sir." Cyntia tries to convince Rizal because the man looks like he doesn't believe her.

" Joe, that's a very dangerous man. He's like a parasite! Not only does it hurt the people who have been holding it. But he can also hurt the person who has been giving life to him. If from the beginning I knew my daughter was near the man breng sek that, of course I forbid Bella to give tutoring your daughter, Madam." Rizal explains how the real figure of Joe.

" I suggest that Madam no longer be in contact with him after this. That guy's very sly." Rizal even advises Cyntia to be careful of Joe.

" I'm asking for cooperation from you, Madam. If you have any information about Joez's whereabouts please contact me immediately, Madam!" Rizal then gives his mobile number to Cyntia.

" Well, Mr. Rizal." said Cyntia still with a sense of disappointment.

" I'll excuse you, madam. Hopefully the Madam can give me information about Joe." Rizal tells Cyntia that he wants to leave Cyntia's apartment.

" good, Sir. Hmmm, I'm sorry for what Joe did to Bella." Feeling Joe working for her, Cyntia apologizes to Rizal for what happened to Isabella.
