PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Panti Wreda Seniors

Agatha was busy packing Grace's clothes while in the hospital. Today, doctors have allowed Grace to return home after a four-day hospital stay.

" I don't want to go home to Mama. I just want to go back to my apartment!" Grace refuses to be taken by Agatha back to her mother's house.

" You're not going home to Mama's and you're not going home to your apartment, Grace!" Agatha walked towards Grace. She hasn't told her daughter about David's plans to have Grace work at a nursing home.

" You mean Mama? Where am I going to live? I don't want to go back to Germany, Mam!" grace resolute. Grace still hopes to meet Joe again, so she has no intention of returning to Germany.

" You're not going back to Germany either, Grace!" Agatha was confused as to what to say to her daughter. It seems he had trouble explaining to Grace the replacement sentence his daughter had to undergo.

" Where should I stay, Mom?" Grace is upset that Agatha looks so convoluted, not telling her where to take her home.

" You'll I'll take it to where you're supposed to be, Miss." Rizal's voice at the end of the door made a pair of mothers and children turn towards the door.

Grace stared cynically at Rizal and then turned her gaze towards Agatha.

" What does that old man mean, Mom? Where do I want to go, Mam?" ask Grace to her mother.

Agatha swallowed her saliva. She couldn't really tell her daughter that Grace would be taken to a nursing home to be a social worker there.

Imagine Grace had to serve the old people, it felt unthinkable in her mind. Grace has always been spoiled with her Papa's abundant treasures, certainly making Grace a spoiled, selfish and insensitive woman to the surrounding environment.

" Later on your own you'll know where you'll stay, Miss." Rizal then walked to get a bag containing Grace's clothes that had been cleaned by Agatha.

" Mom, where is he taking me? Why did Mama shut up, anyway!?" Seeing Agatha not explaining the place she was going to be at, Grance asked in a jolting tone to Agatha.

Rizal grunts harshly seeing Grace's harsh treatment of her own parents. It's fair that Grace looks haughty, even to her own parents Grace doesn't hold any respect.

" You calm down, Grace! The wound on your neck will be painful again." Agatha rubbed Grace's back, asking her son to be calm.

" Come with me, Miss!" While carrying Grace's clothes, Rizal asks Grace to follow him.

" Mom ...."

" You better come, Grace. Than Mr. David changed his mind." Agatha brought the wheelchair closer to Grace so she could use it to the parking lot.

" Where do I want to go, Mam?" Grace kept asking her mother for answers about Rizal's purpose in taking her away. He himself felt that the place he was going to was not a pleasant place.

While Rizal has walked out of Grace's nursery while contacting Vito through his mobile phone.

" Hello, Vit. Where are you now?" rizal asked, as his call lifted.

" I'm near the door of the hospital lobby, Mr. Rizal." Vito pulled from across.

" Okay, I'm going to the lobby." Rizal immediately turned off his phone call. He waited for Grace and Agatha who still did not come out of the nursery that several days was occupied by Grace.

***

" Why, Mr Rizal? I also want to take Grace. I just want to make sure if my daughter's gonna be okay there." Agatha seems to object, as Rizal forbids her to take Grace in her car.

" Feel with me, ma'am. Your son will be fine." Rizal assures Grace that he can handle it.

" Please!" Rizal opens the door for Grace, while Vito is already sitting behind the wheel.

" I don't want to go with them, Mam!" It is foreseeable that Grace objected to having one car with Rizal and Vito, which she assumed was the man who had foiled her plan.

" We don't have a choice, Grace. Mama will follow from behind." Agatha helped Grace get up from her wheelchair.

" But I don't know where they're going to take me, Mom! What if they want to kill me, Mam!?" Grace is worried that Rizal will harm her. David Richard's family could have escaped him from the law, but it would have given him a more painful sentence.

" We are law-abiding and God-fearing, Miss. So there's no way we're gonna take your life." Rizal quickly deflects Grace's accusations.

" Grace, you better not argue so much so that you can get out of your problem quickly!" agatha whispered as she led Grace's steps towards the car that Vito was about to drive.

Grace could do nothing but obey what her mother said, until she finally resigned when her mother helped Grace sit in a Jeep Rizal car.

An hour later they had reached the parking lot of a Panti Wreda Senja. Grace's eyes widened as she read the signboard of the building in front of her.

" What are we gonna do here?" grace asked, every sentence that Grace said when talking to Rizal and Vito was always sharp and unfriendly.

" To escort you, Miss." Vito answered Grace's question.

" You think I'm a decrepit person to be put in this place!?" said Grace was upset, because she had to be put in a place that is inhabited by people who are mostly senile parents. He then glanced towards Rizal. " You're the one who deserves to be in that decrepit, old man!" sindir Grace to Rizal.

Rizal who was sitting in the front seat turned his body to face Grace who was sitting behind the seat that Vito occupied.

" We did not bring Miss here to leave you to be taken care of by the people here. But, we put you here, just so that Miss can be socially employed in this nursing home, to help care for the parents in this home. That's the punishment Miss Grace will receive in lieu of legal entrapment that could befall you, Miss Grace." Rizal then explains the actual punishment Grace received at the request of David Richard.

" What??? I have to work in a nursing home??" Grace was wide-eyed to hear Rizal say about the task she had to face.

" Are you gi la, old man!? I don't want to be in this place!! Lower me!! I'm going!! I don't want to be in this place!!" Grace tried to escape by hitting the car door because the car door was locked.
