PRISONERS END IN LOVE
Can't Take Off Me
Grace was still lounging in her bed when Agatha came to her daughter's house. Agatha accidentally came to invite Grace, because her daughter was seen ogah-ogahan when she told her she would hold a dinner celebrating Grace's birthday with Grace's colleagues from Rizal's office.
Agatha herself was pleased that Grace was friends with Rizal's men, as she thought they carried a positive aura to her daughter. Instead Grace continues to run a full toxic relationship like when in a relationship with Joe.
" Grace, my goodness .. Are you still sleeping like this? Come on you get ready! We have a dinner show with your colleagues, you know! Later we're late, pity they wait there while the ones with the show haven't come." Agatha rebuked Grace who was still enjoying music by using headphones on her ear.
Seeing Agatha enter her room, Grace immediately removed the object that had covered her ears from the noises outside.
" Mama why are you here?" asked Grace to change position until now sitting down.
" Want to take you to dinner. We have dinner with your friends! Already, let's get dressed and put this on!" Agatha offered the dress she had brought for Grace to wear at the dinner.
" Geez, Mam. Just want dinner with friends just wear that kayak dress!" grace's protest saw the dress Agatha brought for her to wear.
" But it's your birthday, Grace. You have to be special tonight. You are wearing clothes do not be shy Mama, deh!" As a designer, Agatha felt there was nothing wrong with the dress she brought for Grace to wear.
" But it's too formal, Mum. I'm going to have dinner with my front office friends, not my boyfriend!" Grace objected to wearing the dress that Agatha had prepared.
" Not talk much! Hurry up you're decorated, we've got to get going!" Agatha pulled Grace by the hand so that her son would immediately get out of bed and get ready to get dressed.
An hour later they arrived at a fancy restaurant Agatha had chosen for a night out to celebrate her daughter's birthday. All Rizal employees including Rizal had come to gather in a private room that Agatha had ordered. Perhaps for the clerk in Rizal's office, dinner at the expensive restaurant was his first experience. They seemed shocked to see the price of food menu that reached millions of rupiah.
" Hey, sorry I'm late, I'm late." Upon arriving at the room they had booked, Grace expressed her apology for having kept her colleagues waiting.
" Hey, Grace. Wow, that's so pretty of you, Grace. You look more mature and more feminine like this, Grace." Yuanita praised the beauty of Grace who that night appeared very beautiful and feminine.
" Yes, Grace's sister is like an angel, beautiful." ' chimed in.
" Agree!! Top markotop!" Jaja even brandished her thumb making Grace chuckle.
Not only Rizal's men who look admiring Grace's beautiful appearance that night, Rizal who tonight wearing a gray sweater was not even close to opening his eyes to see Grace's appearance, especially when I see the woman smiling. Even a thin smile is seen on Rizal's lips as if fascinated with women who have always looked cute now look graceful and more mature.
" Hello, Mr. Rizal. Thank you for coming here." When Grace's colleagues greet and praise Grace, Agatha greets Rizal.
" Together, Madam." replied Rizal.
Grace turned her head towards Rizal when she heard her mother greeting Rizal. At the same time Rizal was still looking at him with a smile on the lips of the moustached man.
Grace immediately disconnected her eyes, and turned her face away not wanting to continue looking at Rizal. The thinly curved smile on Rizal's lips held a frightening meaning to Grace.
" Happy birthday to Grace, happy birthday to Grace, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to Grace ..." From the direction of the entrance of the room, Jamal came carrying a birthday sponge that was joined by a song sung by his colleagues by clapping.
" Let's blow the candles, Grace. Do not forget to make a wish, so that you can quickly mate .." chirped Indra, making others chuckle.
Grace smiled at Indra's words. Unknowingly her eyes glanced at Rizal, who widened the curvature of the smile on her lips, causing Grace to turn her face back and throw a glance at the birthday cake proffered by Jamal.
Grace closed her eyes and prayed in her heart, "O God, may the old man have no intention of making me his wife."
After saying her wish, Grace then blew out the candle which was immediately greeted by applause from her colleagues. Grace cut the sponge and gave the piece of her birthday sponge to her mother.
Next they eat the food that has been served at the dining table. Agatha was currently sitting right next to Rizal while Grace was sitting in front of Agatha. The atmosphere of the dinner was quite warm with Grace chat with Rizal's men.
Agatha was pleased to see her son's association with Rizal's men. Together with them, Agatha hopes Grace can live a normal and better life than when she was with Joe. However, Grace's sentence is only half a year away, she is worried that after that Grace will return to unhealthy relationships.
" Grace, Mama is happy to see your relationship with your friends is now very familiar. If you don't want to take care of Papa and Mama's business, what if you keep working at Mr Rizal's place?" Agatha suddenly mentions Grace's future after Grace's sentence ends.
" How about, Mr Rizal? Will my daughter be able to be hired at Mr Rizal's place if her sentence is over?" Now Agatha asked Rizal.
" Mam, Mama this is nothing, anyway? Mama's time wants me to stay where the old man is!?" Grace immediately protested her mother's wishes.
" Grace, I'm glad to see your friendship with Mr. Rizal's employee, so I want you to stay there so you can get back to living a normal life like you did before you were poisoned by Joe!"
Everyone who had originally chatted and joked with each other instantly fell silent upon hearing the small debate between Grace and Agatha.
" Mum, I've been trying to be nice because I want to get out of there! Why did Mama keep Grace in that place?!" grace Protest.
" Aren't you glad you have a lot of friends there, Grace?" ask Agatha wonder. " Mom thinks you're happy to be there" he continued.
" Friends there are fun, Mom. But, her boss is a bitch!" sindir Garce without glancing towards Rizal.
Suddenly the views of Rizal's men now lead to their bosses, including Agatha.
" Oh, it must be because of your attitude that always makes trouble there. Mama's sure Mr. Rizal behaved like that so you could get rid of your stubbornness, Grace." Agatha defended Rizal.
" Mommy why would you defend her instead of your own child? Don't-don't Mama like her, huh?"
Grace's return left everyone aghast and refocused their gaze toward Rizal and Agatha alternately.
" Good, Grace! You are talking ..." Agatha shook her head to hear Grace's words that embarrassed her, especially now that she had become the center of attention of Rizal's men.
No different from Agatha, Rizal also made dead lice with the words of Grace. If he is currently only two with Grace, it would be like he gave the punishment so that Grace deterred him from continuing to tease her like this.
" If you like him, I don't have a problem. I'll support you, though! Don't use me as an excuse to get Mama to meet that guy!" grace continued without caring about Agatha and Rizal who were increasingly embarrassed.
While Rizal sighed slowly. His eyes were now sharp looking at Grace who looked innocent by her words.
Half an hour later the dinner celebrating Grace's birthday ends. Rizal's men have already said goodbye to him. Grace, Agatha and Rizal are left.
" Mrs, let your daughter I take you home, it just happens to be the same to go to the office." Rizal reasoned to want to go to the office to take Grace home. That man had planned something for Grace.
" Mam, I don't want to! I'm going home with Mama!" Grace refuses to let Rizal go home together.
" It's okay, Grace. You can go home with Mr. Rizal." However, Agatha did not care about Grace's refusal.
" Mam, Mama could hand Mama's daughter over to the old widower?" Grace knew something was planned by Rizal, so the man took her home together.
" You don't make it up, Grace! Well, then I'll drop Grace, Mr. Rizal."
" Good, Madam." said Rizal.
" I go first, Mr. Rizal. Grace, Mama's coming home first, yeah." Agatha hugged Grace and left Grace and Rizal together.
Grace snorted a glance towards Rizal, as the man managed to influence her Mama.
" What are you really planning, old man?" Grace folded her hands on her chest.
Rizal walked closer towards Grace with his eyes constantly staring at Grace's pretty face.
" It's your birthday, and I have to give you a birthday present, right?" Rizal wrapped his hands around Grace's waist and pulled the woman's slender body up to her body.
" What do you want, old man?" Grace was wide-eyed at Rizal's current actions. Moreover, Rizal's eyes look full of desire as if he wants something from himself.
" I can't buy precious items as birthday gifts because surely what I give you is worthless. But, I can give you something memorable." Rizal flicked his finger making the lights in the private room go out, there were only LED floodlights that illuminated both of them. At the same time, someone who entered the room holding a violin and played the instrument performed Careless Whisper to accompany Rizal and Grace to dance.
Before the dinner was over, Rizal deliberately asked permission to go to the toilet. She goes to the waitress and asks to prepare a surprise for Grace.
Rizal began to move his legs to invite Grace to dance making Grace reflex's hand hold Rizal's shoulder.
" You look so beautiful tonight, Grace," said Rizal, calling Grace's name with the back of his hand rubbing Grace's smooth cheeks. It seems Rizal is no longer able to cover his passionate has rat against Grace. Moreover, the attitude of Grace who now seems to avoid it often and the words of Grace who had seemed to make fun of him, making him challenged to conquer the beautiful woman in front of him now.
" You dare touch me, old man!" Grace frowned because of Rizal's attitude which she felt was getting more daring to touch her.
" Haven't you been the one who's been teasing me all this time?" Now Rizal's hand rubs Grace's lips. Even Rizal has changed my calling to me. " And this, who's always happy to make fun of me? Now I'm going to punish every sentence of insinuation that comes out of these lips." Rizal then brought his lips closer and sucked Grace's lower lip.
Grace gasped as Rizal kissed her again. Even Rizal smeared Grace's lips as if he was releasing a longing, after the last time Rizal felt the beautiful woman's lips.
" Detach him, old man!" Grace pushes Rizal's body away from her and Rizal takes off their pagutan.
" All this time I was just teasing you so I wouldn't be punished. It's not that I'm interested in you, so you don't misunderstand me!" Grace tries to explain to Rizal not to misunderstand his attitude all along.
" Even more so than to expect me to be yours!" Grace insists that Rizal does not expect to have it.
" What if I want that?" rizal asked unaffected by Grace's words. He just smelled a smile. Rizal himself seemed to not care about his statement saying that he might not be interested in women like Grace.
" Don't dream too much!" sergeant Grace.
" All right, let's see. Is it true that you're not interested in me?!" Rizal challenges Grace and feels confident that he can conquer Grace's heart.
" Keep dreaming, old man! I wouldn't possibly be interested in an old man like you!" While Grace herself was confident in her stance.
Rizal smiled again at Grace's rebuttal. " If I could take you down, you wouldn't be able to get away from me, Grace!" The sentence that came out of Rizal's mouth this time really gave Grace goosebumps.
Like a dinner weapon, what was thrown by Grace was about herself. And he really didn't want that to happen.
Grace was sure that Rizal was not messing around with her words earlier. It will be difficult for Grace because Rizal has openly admitted if the man is interested in her.
***
" It's really bad! The old man did not seem to be messing with his words. I need to act immediately!" After the restaurant,
Grace walked back and forth in her room thinking that Rizal was not carrying out her intentions. Grace had not even had time to change her dress, because she had been frightened by Rizal's threat earlier.
" If I run away from here, he'll definitely keep chasing me. I have to think of a way that he can't threaten me like that." Grace bit her fingernails.
However, he suddenly snapped his finger after finding an idea that he felt could abort Rizal's threat earlier.
" Isabella, I must say this to Isabella so that the old man cannot carry out his wishes." A thin grin was immediately engraved on the corner of Grace's lips as she felt she had found a way to thwart Rizal's intentions which seemed to have begun to be tempted by his charm.
