PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Meet Rivaldi's Parents

Grace tidied back her makeup and hair. If he did not stop the hot activity for a few minutes with Rizal earlier, it is not impossible that the two of them will still continue their activities in the team, maybe even further.

Grace poked her shoulders a few times. Even to the point of goosebumps remembering timan kein that he did not expect before would happen. Every touch that Rizal gave him made him reverberate.

" Oh my God, why do you remember that, anyway!?" Grace patted her forehead feeling ridiculous as she was still imagining it.

Teett

The sound of the apartment bell rang again. Grace guessed that this time it came was Rivaldi. Grace immediately put on the outer first to cover her exposed shoulders.

" Hey ..." Sapa Rivaldi who was standing at the door to give a smile.

" Hey ..." Grace also returned a greeting and smiled to welcome Rivaldi. Very different than when he saw the arrival of Rizal.

" You are beautiful ..." Rivaldi praised Grace's beauty before him at this moment.

Grace blushed to listen to the praise Rivaldi had said to her. " Thanks .." he said.

" We're leaving now?" ask Grace later.

" okay." Rivaldi agrees.

Grace and Rivaldi finally left for Mr. Ronald's party using a Rivaldi car parked in the basement of a luxury apartment owned by the large property company Angkasa Raya Group.

" Hmmm, my Papa Mama will also be present at the party. It's okay, right? If I introduce you there my parents?"

While on his way to the building where the wedding reception of Mr. Ronald's daughter was held, Rivaldi said he wanted to introduce Grace to his parents. Of course, that surprised Grace. He did not know whether Rivaldi had indeed planned this before or just a coincidence.

According to him, introducing a woman to a male family, especially in a large party that attended several important people in the business field is not a mess. It could be a sign that the man wants to introduce a prospective life partner to his family.

" Rena?"

Garce blinked her eyes when she heard Rivaldi's voice speak to her again. He forgot to answer the question that Rivaldi had asked him.

" Oh, i-iya," he said later. " Papa Mama you were invited too huh?" tanyakanya.

" Yes, Papaku is a businessman in the field of Garment in Bandung, therefore Papa was also invited to the event." Rivaldi explained about the business run by his parents.

" Garment?" Somewhat surprised Grace heard the field of business that was cultivated by Rivaldi's parents. " Don't, the parents she knew my mother again .." Grace muttered inwardly. Because he thinks his mother who is a famous designer will definitely be known by entrepreneurs engaged in fashion, especially apparel.

" yes. Actually my papa wants me to pursue the business that my Papa is going through. But I have no interest in continuing the family business. I want to have my own business, which was pioneered from the beginning with my own abilities." Rivaldi told me why he could lead his company now.

" Good, dong! You have your own company, not a family heritage company. Not like me, down take care of the family company. Nothing to be proud of." Grace compares herself to Rivaldy.

" I don't think it's a problem taking care of the family business. Moreover, you are a woman, it is great if you can continue your Papa business and make your Papa company bigger than before." Rivaldi tries to encourage Grace who looks less eager to continue the family business.

Grace just smiled in response to Rivaldi's words to show dimples make her face look more pleasant in the eyes.

" I wasn't really interested in coming to this show when Papa and my mom invited me to come."

Grace turned to Rivaldi when she heard that Rivaldi had no intention of coming to Mr. Ronald's party.

" Why?" Out of curiosity, Grace asked.

" Because I don't have a girlfriend who can accompany me to go there." Rivaldi chuckled at the reason. " Those who come will definitely bring their respective spouses, right? So when you called me yesterday, I immediately invited you to come there," continued Rivaldi.

" Aren't you having a girlfriend to the point of confusion about coming to the party because no one is accompanying you?" ask Garce later.

" Nothing" replied Rivaldi.

" seriously? Masa, anyway? For a young boss like you don't have a girlfriend?" It was as if I could not believe that a handsome and wealthy man like Rivaldi would not have a lover.

" The reality is like that." Rivaldi's smile was faintly visible at the corner of his lips.

" Have you never liked anyone?" tanya Grace starts fishing for Rivaldi to tell stories.

Rivaldi sighed before answering Grace's question.

" ever. But, unfortunately he is already owned by others," he said later.

Grace knew who Rivaldi meant. That woman must be Erlangga's wife.

" There is no woman but that woman? Or are you too picky?"

" No, it's not like that!" rivaldi. " I'm only looking for a woman who truly loves me, not because of who I am, not because of my social status, not because of my position. All this time a lot of women tried to get close just because of what I had. And I don't like women who are too aggressive to chase me." Rivaldi explained the woman he yearned for.

" I hope you get the woman you want." Grace greets and prays Rivaldi for what he wants.

" Aamiin .." said Rivaldi while staring at the beautiful face of Grace.

It took about forty-five minutes to reach the building where the wedding reception of the child of Mr. Ronald. Now Grace and Rivaldi have entered the convention hall wedding party.

Grace noticed the decorations that looked luxurious as well as elegant. No wonder because the party is the chairman of the entrepreneurs of Java and Bali. Grace also watched the invited guests. It was certain that those present were not random people. Perhaps ninety percent of the invited guests are the bosses of well-known companies.

" We say to the bride and groom and greet Mr. Ronald." Rivaldi invites Grace to go up to the guarantee stage to congratulate the bride and also greet Mr. Ronald.

" There's my parents' table. We're going there." After giving his congratulations, Rivaldi now invites Grace to meet her parents who sit on the North from the entrance to the convention hall.

" Ma, Ma." Upon reaching the intended table, Rivaldi greeted Nugraha and Arina, his parents.

" Aldi? Who is this, Aldi?" Nugraha looked in surprise at Grace who was standing beside Rivaldi.

" It's Rena. Pa. She is the daughter of Mr. Satria, the owner of Langgeng Putra Persada company." Rivaldi introduces Grace to Nugraha.

" Oh, hello, Rena boy. Well, this is a surprise for us. Aldi didn't say anything to us, if he was going to bring Nak Rena here." Seen on Nugraha's happy face as he said that sentence. It was as if he had wanted his son to introduce a woman to him for a long time.

" Right, Aldi said he wouldn't come here. Turns out, he wanted to surprise us by introducing you, son." Arina who was sitting next to her husband chimed in.

" Hmmm, is this Rena who will be the future daughter-in-law of Papa and Mama, Aldi?" Nugraha's next question made Grace widen her eyes and immediately turn towards Rivaldi. Grace did not expect if immediately would be considered a prospective daughter-in-law by Rivaldi's parents.

" Papa don't go too far! We just happened to meet, and Rena also came to the office yesterday to cooperate with my company, Pa." Seeing Grace looking at him in confusion, Rivaldi immediately dismissed the assumption of his parents.

" Well, this Rena boy is running Papa Nak Rena's company? Young people like this are already willing to jump into the business world. That's really amazing." Nugraha praised Grace for taking care of her Papa's company.

" A-no, Om. I'm still learning. Not too mastering the business field that is cultivated by Papa." Grace was quick to dismiss Nugraha's allegations because she was afraid of being asked various kinds of companies that she did not master at all.

" It's okay, what's important is that you want to learn from an early age. Later Nak Rena can be a great entrepreneur." As a senior entrepreneur, Nugraha tried to advise Grace to be more motivated.

" In the meantime I just seconded Papa to learn to take care of the company, Om. Because I have no interest in managing my Papa business." Grace asserted that she was not interested in continuing the family business, either in her role as Rena or representing herself as Grace who Agatha always asked to participate in managing her parents' business.

" Why aren't you interested in continuing your Papa's business, son?" ask Nugraha back.

" I don't like office work, Om. Maybe because I am young now, I still want to enjoy my youth with my friends. Maybe if I'm married, let my husband just continue the business Papa, so that I don't mess around with the company's business," Grace explained.

" In that case, this Rena boy must carefully find a prospective husband, if you want your husband who takes care of your Papa's business, son. Don't just look for a companion! Seek out those who truly love you, regardless of whether you are a rich businessman's son. Do not get stuck to a man who just wants to master your Papa's possessions and company." advice Nugraha

" Yes, Om. I thought so too." said Grace approving of Nugraha's remarks. But his eyes glanced at Rivaldi who was looking at the right corner from where they were making Grace follow the direction of Rivaldi's view.

Grace suspects that Rivaldi is currently looking at the table of the Mahadika Gautama family. Previously he was told by Rizal the figure of the big family Mahadika Gautama who will be present there. Grace turned back to Rivaldi. Seen by him Rivaldi's face stiffened with hardened jaws as if burning jealous fire.

" Does Nak Rena currently have a prospective companion?" Suddenly Arina asked Grace about the prospective escort, making Grace turn to Arina.

" I haven't thought about it, Auntie. Because I was only twenty years old. I still want to enjoy freedom at a young age" Grace said.

" It's a pity, even though Om's son is also looking for a prospective companion." Nugraha chimed in his wife's words, which this time it was successful to make Rivaldi look at his Papa.

" Child Om?" Grace pretended not to understand what Nugraha said.

" Yes, Om's son." Nugraha pointed towards Rivaldi with his eye movements.

" Pa ...!" rivaldi's reprimand for thinking his father was too soon to match Grace, even though they only met Grace this time.

" Uhuk .. uhuukk ..." Suddenly Arina coughed.

" Why, Ma?" tanya Nugraha rubbed his wife's back.

" Mom's going to the toilet for a minute." Arina's permission to go to the toilet with her husband.

" Want me to drop off, Auntie?" Grace quickly offers to drive Arina.

" No need, son. Don't bother. Hhukk .. uhuukk ..." Arina hurried off the table towards the toilet in the convention hall.

" I'm with Auntie, huh, Om!?" Grace immediately asked for permission to accompany Arina. Because he was avoiding Nugraha who would likely wonder at him a lot.

" Aunty is okay?" she asked Grace when she saw Arina in the toilet.

" It's okay, Rena." Arina lit the faucet in the sink.

" Then I'll wait outside, Auntie?"

" Yes, Rena. Thank you." Thank you."

Grace left the inside of the toilet and chose to wait outside. Until finally seen a couple walking towards the toilet with the position of the husband's hand hugging his wife's waist.

" I went inside first, Mas "The voice of a woman who is none other than Kayra asked her husband's permission to go to the toilet. And the man of course is Erlangga Mahadika Gautama.

" Yes, Honey. I'm waiting here. Don't take too long" said Erlangga.

" Yes, Mas." Kayra then went into the toilet.

" Be careful, honey!" erlangga exclaimed before Kayra's body disappeared behind the toilet

Grace noticed the harmonious interaction of the married couple before her. Very harmonious and romantic. It was only fitting that Rivaldi was jealous and annoyed at the two of them. And the woman who became Erlangga's wife, she was truly beautiful and graceful. Grace could feel from the soft voice that Kayra had spoken earlier while talking to Erlangga. Rivaldi really likes that woman.

Grace was now looking at Erlangga who was also looking at her. Grace immediately nodded her head while smiling to say hello to Erlangga. And responded with a nod of Erlangga's head.

Grace sees Erlangga taking the phone in her pocket in her blazer and checking her phone. The handsome man's forehead immediately wrinkled as he looked at his phone. Erlangga was seen typing a message on his phone. After that Erlangga turned his head back and walked closer towards Grace.

" Satria sir changed the time of his arrival. He seems to have arrived here. Later when I talk to him, you come closer so that they believe that you are the son of Mr. Satria. You already recognize Mr. Satria's face, right?" Erlangga explained what Grace had to do later.

" Already, I already know his face" said Grace. " But what if Rivaldi follows and wants to meet Mr Satria?" Grace was worried that if Rivaldi was going to meet Satria, it would expose his disguise.

" As long as Mr. Satria is with me, I am sure he will not dare to approach Mr. Satria." Erlangga tries to convince Grace to remain calm and carry out her role as planned without inviting suspicion from Rivaldi."

" All right," said Grace.
