Rivaldi stared at the phone screen with a frown when he heard Grace wanted to come with him to see Joe. If Grace isn't pregnant, she doesn't mind Grace wanting to see Joe again to solve their problems. However, Grace's condition is currently pregnant young, it feels very risky for Grace to come with him to meet Joe. Moreover, Joe is known to be very reckless. He can see people indiscriminately.
" Aldi, where are you going to meet, Joe!? I'm coming with you."
Grace's faint voice rang out from Rivaldi's phone as the man still kept the communication device's flat object away from his ear.
" Aldi? You still hear me, right?" Grace's voice was heard, but this time it was clearer than before.
" Hello, Rena." Rivaldi brought the communication device closer to his ear. You better not go see Joe. She is very dangerous and you are pregnant. It's too risky to meet a cunning guy like Joe, Rena." Rivaldi expressed his objection to Grace's request earlier. Although he realized that he was not a holy man, but at least he was not desperate to lose the lives of others.
" Aldi, Joe's been harassing my family. He even made my husband still unconscious to this day, I couldn't possibly let him go, Aldi! He should be responsible for the misfortune that happened to my husband! I have to make a calculation with him!" Grace is still determined to join Rivaldi to meet Joe.
" But Joe is very dangerous, Rena!" Rivaldi still forbids Grace from coming with him.
" You'll definitely protect me if he tries to attack me, right!?" Grace is confident that Rivaldi will protect her.
Grace's words instantly made Rivaldi stunned. When he just knew Grace, and did not know clearly how the person of Grace, Rivaldi was called to help Grace. Especially when Grace has to face Joe who is really sneaky and very dangerous, it is certain that she will protect Grace. However, she did not expect that Grace herself would ask him such a thing.
" I'm sure you won't let Joe hurt me, will you?" Grace actually doesn't need an answer from her own question, because she knows that Rivaldi will definitely take care of her.
" I-yes, but .. You better not meet Joe, Rena." Rivaldi was very worried about Grace.
" If you don't want to take me there, tell me where the address is? Let me come there myself!" Feeling no positive response from Rivaldi, Grace is determined to come alone to Joe's place of entrapment.
" Rena, you don't be reckless! I'm not not taking you! But I'm afraid Joe's threatening your safety." Rivaldi asserted if the intention of his refusal was well-intentioned.
" Can't your men win against one guy like Joe!?" Grace insinuates that Rivaldi's men are not at work so that makes Rizal worry about Joe.
" But it would be nice if you don't pick up trouble, Rena!" Rivaldi.
" You want to take me or I'll go there by myself!?" Grace's stubbornness begins to recur. He did not want to be banned also denied by Rivaldi.
Rivaldi grunted rudely. It seemed like he had a hard time getting rid of that one woman, even though he had been banned many times.
" Where will I pick you up tomorrow?" Rivaldi is forced to yield to Grace who insists on coming to see Joe.
" I was in an apartment near the hospital. I'll share the location." Grace is glad she was finally allowed to join Rivaldi.
" Okay, I'll let you know if I'll pick you up. But, I'm asking you not to come any closer to Joe. He'll definitely try to escape if he finds out we set him up." Rivaldi reminds Grace to be careful with Joe.
" Let's see, Aldi. Bye ..." Grace abruptly terminates their phone call after being assured Rivaldi will pick her up the next day.
Rivaldi looked back at his phone screen because Grace cut the phone suddenly He immediately put the phone before he finally lay down on his soft spring bed that had been filled only by him just.
Rivaldi folded his hands under his head with a look of his eyes staring at the ceiling of his room. She doesn't know why she's still grieving Grace, even though she has no hope of having Grace.
Rivaldi snorted violently, for some reason it was hard to forget Grace. Maybe it's a little harder than forgetting Kayra. If she finds it hard to forget Kayra, she thinks it's natural, because Kayra meets the criteria of the woman of her dreams. Unlike Grace, who is far from the type of woman she wants to be a wife. Grace's bold attitude tends to be harsh, Grace's stubbornness and courage to oppose it, far from the criteria of her ideal woman, but it was precisely that made him curious to dive into the tomboyish woman's personality.

After ending a phone conversation with Rivaldi, Grace immediately contacted someone with her phone. Grace intends to contact Bondan, because Bondan is a friend of Rizal, so she feels the need to tell about the plan to trap Joe by Rivaldi and his men.
" Hello, Grace? Any word on Rizal's condition?" When the phone call was connected, Bondan's voice was immediately heard in Grace's ear.
" It's still like yesterday, Mr. Bondan. But the plan the day after tomorrow I will bring Papih home to my house and the doctor has given permission." Grace explains Rizal's return plan.
" Where's your house, Grace? I'll take Rizal home later." Bondan intends to come with Grace to take Rizal to continue to be treated at home.
" My house is in front of my husband's office, Mr. Bondan." Grace called the location of her house.
" The forecast before Dzuhur, Mr. Bondan."
" Okay, Grace. I'll try it before Ashar gets there." Bondan promises to arrive on time before Rizal's return.
" Thank you, Mr. Bondan." Grace thanks Bondan for taking her husband back home. " Oh yeah, there's news that Joe's been found out, Mr. Bondan." Grace then conveys the news about Joe that he really wants to convey to Bondan
" really? Where is he now?" Bondan is curious about the news conveyed by Grace about the discovery of Joe's hideout, the person who is also being hunted.
" Aldi's men know where Joe is now, Mr. Bondan. Aldi planned to teach Joe a lesson before handing him over to the police station." Grace lays out Rivaldi's plan to Bondan.
" I also plan to join Aldi to meet Joe in person. He must accept vengeance for what he's done to my husband." The words spoken from Grace's mouth sounded fiery.
" Grace, you better not be too rash, and don't trust that guy too much." The man that Bondan refers to is none other than Rivaldi, because Bondan is not fully convinced of Rivaldi.
" Not to worry about Aldi, Mr. Bondan. He's not gonna hurt me." Grace believes that Rivaldi is not a dangerous man for her.
" When are you going to meet Joe? I'll take care of you, Grace. If Rizal knew you were challenging the danger, he would definitely not agree, Grace!" Bondan feels obligated to keep Grace safe for her best friend.
" Aldi said after Ashar, Mr. Bondan."
" Yes, I'll escort you, Grace. Where do we meet?"
" Thank you, Mr. Bondan. Until tomorrow I'm living in an apartment near the hospital. My mom forbade me to stay in the hospital because of my pregnancy." Grace said she was pregnant.
" Are you pregnant, Grace?" Bondan is shocked to hear of Grace's pregnancy. " It's too much for Rizal to be conscious when his wife is pregnant!" Bondan immediately cursed Rizal when he heard Grace was pregnant.
Grace felt the need to hear Bondan's words as if feeling sorry for him, until a clear liquid immediately condensed in her eyeballs and soon dripped on her smooth cheeks.

Grace takes the time to visit Rizal before she plans to go with Rivaldi to meet Joe. This afternoon Agatha did not come to the hospital, because her mother was busy arranging people to take care of Rizal's return tomorrow. Only Bi Tinah was guarding Rizal.
" Don't, Joe's been known to exist. He's in Aldi's trap, Pih. I'm going to see Joe because I want to avenge what he did to Bella and Papih." Grace asked permission from her husband.
" I don't want him to be able to live free after what he's done to us, Pih." Grace rubbed her husband's face lovingly. He really misses Rizal. His voice, his laughter, his laughter, longing to argue with him.
" Tomorrow we'll go home, Pih. I choose to go home so that Papih will heal quickly and quickly move to monitor Papih's headquarters from home. Papih must rebuke Indra with Jamal, because they are gossiping Papih every day." Grace chuckles as she recalls when she and Rizal were unmarried and still like Tom & Jerry, the two friends and Yuanita were thrilled to gossip about Rizal. Grace is also unlikely to confess to her husband if her intention is to bring Rizal to her home for fear that the memory of Sonia will bind Rizal's spirit so that Rizal is reluctant to regain consciousness.
" Pih, I love Papih. I've never loved this much before, including Joe. So, Papih should be cured, huh!? There are wives, children Papih and our future children who are waiting for Papih to wake up," whispered Grace in Rizal's ear then he gave a kiss on the cheek, forehead, eyes, and so on, nose and ends at Rizal's lips while saying, "I miss Papih's lips touching every member of my body, Pih. Does Papih not miss me at all?"
