PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Toughest Temptation

Grace goes into the toilet to find out if Arina is done in the toilet. However, when he went inside, he saw Arina was talking to Kayra. It made Grace frown because it looks like Arina is watching Kayra so closely.

" Aunty, is Aunt still coughing?" she asked Grace because she had heard Arina's cough.

" Oh, no, son." said Arina.

Grace turned to Kayra. Unlike Erlangga who recognized her, Kayra did not know if she was the one whom Kayra's husband had asked to investigate Rivaldi.

" Mom, if you're okay, excuse me" Kayra said goodbye to Arina.

" good, Son. Thank you ..." said Arina kept staring at Kayra.

" Excuse me, Mum. I first ..." Kayra then came out of the toilet.

" Aunty, are we back at the table now?" Grace invites Arina to rejoin Nugraha and Rivaldi again.

" Yes, Rena." Arina then steps out of the toilet with Grace following behind her.

" Why are you guys so long, anyway? Papa's looking for you, there's a Mahadika business relation who wants to meet you, Erlangga!"

Suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the toilet and Arina pulled back her steps that were almost out of the toilet.

What Arina does certainly makes Grace amazed. Especially when he saw Arina peeking out of the toilet. He saw Arina's face paled like fear. Grace did the same. But there's no one out there.

" What's up, Auntie? Aunt why?" the Grace wonder.

" N-no, there's nothing, son." said Arina, looking to breathe a sigh of relief.

" Aunty sure it's okay?" Grace sensed that something was strange from Arina. And he thought it had something to do with the voice of the person who was speaking in a high tone from outside the toilet. What he suspected was Mama from Erlangga.

" Yes, Son. We better get back to the table." Arina clasps Grace's arm and invites Garce back to her family table.

Confused by Arina's attitude. However, Grace complies with what the beak woman wants until now they have returned to the table to gather with Rivaldi and Nugraha.

Grace noticed Arina whispering to Nugraha. Somehow Arina's strange attitude when she heard Helen's voice made her suspect something.

" I saw Helen's mother, Mr. Krishna's wife. I don't want them to look at me and show me my son."

By sharpening her hearing, Grace heard a faint sentence that Arina had spoken to her husband.

" What's up, Ma?" Rivaldi also seemed to feel something happening to Arina.

" Your mom wants to go home soon, doesn't seem to be feeling well." Nugraha covered up what happened to Arina because there was Grace among them.

" What's that coughing?" ask Rivaldi later. Replied with a nod of Arina's head.

" Kids Rena, Om and Aunt go home first. Looks like Aunt isn't feeling well. I hope we can meet again." Nugraha said goodbye to Grace.

" Yes, Om. Auntie, I hope you get well soon, yeah!" Grace rubbed Arina's arm and prayed that Arina would recover quickly.

" Thank you, son Rena." said Arina then with her husband left the party.

Grace then turned to the table where the Gautama Mahadika family was. He sees a man he suspects is Satria. The man Rivaldi knew as Papa of Grace.

" Isn't that with the Gautama Mahadika family your father, Rena?" tanya Rivaldi stared not like to see the closeness of Satria with Erlangga.

" They are the Mahadika Gautama family? I know the name but I never know the person." Grace pretends not to know.

" Why is your father still approaching Erlangga? Isn't your father interested in working with my company?" rivaldi asked in full search now looking at Grace as if demanding an explanation from the woman.

Grace breathed in trying to be as normal as possible so as not to further make Rivaldi suspicious.

" Papaku company with Mahadika company has cooperated very well and long enough. What if my dad met them? What's wrong with them being together? If now, we want to work with PT. Abadi Jaya, it's because Papa heard your company selling goods under them. I think in business, looking for greater profits is a natural thing. But that doesn't mean we have to cut ties with the Mahadika side just like that." Grace chose a reasonable reason she could pass on to Rivaldi. As his role became a subsidiary of the owner of the company Langgeng Putra Persada he did not want Rivaldi to over-regulate the policy of Satria's company

" We also will not one hundred percent stop the supply of goods from Mahadika, although later our company cooperates. We will only reduce the take of products from Mahadika and transfer them to Abadi Jaya company. I don't think the Papaku company's cooperation plan and your company's, does not mean you can interfere with all the actions and attitudes taken by my Papa!" grace firmly with a tinge. He wanted to show Rivaldi that he was being professional.

Grace glanced cynically at Rivaldi indicating that she did not like Rivaldi's attitude earlier.

" I'd better go home!" Grace then got up to leave the party. He felt uncomfortable if he continued to be at the party.

" You want to go home?" Rivaldi gasped as Grace decided to leave the party.

" I don't want my dad to see me at this party. Papa will definitely introduce me to his other friends." Grace reasoned why she wanted to leave the party.

" I'll take you home." Rivaldi suspects that Grace is angry with him, so she decides to leave the party with Grace.

" No, let me be alone!" Grace refuses to be taken home by Rivaldi.

" You're coming with me, then I have to take you home." Rivaldi wants to take Grace.

" It's up to you!" Grace still said quite curiously, as if she was still resentful towards Rivaldi. Grace immediately walked away wanting to leave the party followed by Rivaldi in her pocket. However, just as some of him stepped up, suddenly someone calling his name made his eyes widen. It was Agatha who was currently greeting him.

" Well Grace? How are you here? Who are you with here?" ask Agatha who that night also came to the party owned by Mr. Ronald.

" Oh, hi, Aunt Agatha." Grace greets Agatha with the call of Aunty, as if Agatha is her Tante Of course it leaves Agatha confused.

" I'm the same ..." Grace glanced at Rivaldi who was also shocked as Agatha called out Grace's name. " I'm with Papa's business friend, Tan. His name is Rivaldi." continued Grace.

" Aldi, meet my aunt, Aunt Agatha. Aunt Agatha is my mother's sister."

" Rivaldi, Aunt." Rivaldi introduced himself to Agatha.

" You're Grace's friend?" Agatha asked Rivaldi. He and Rivaldi were actually both confused.

" Aldi is the owner of Abadi Jaya, Tan. And Papa plans to cooperate with Aldi's company. Oh yeah, Auntie has met Papa with Mama? That's them there." Grace points out the whereabouts of Satria who is with the Mahadika family. " But Auntie don't tell me Rena came here, huh!? Rena doesn't want to, another time Papa was told to attend a boring event like this." Grace doesn't give Rivaldi a chance to answer Agatha's questions so she speaks first.

" Rena go first, Tan." Grace hurriedly said goodbye so that her disguise would not be uncovered.

" You have one debt of explanation to Aunt, Renata!" Agatha now mentioned Grace's last name, apparently knowing that her son was on a mission.

" Well Grace? Why does your aunt say your name is Grace?" Rivaldi who was curious about Grace's name immediately asked when they had come out of the building where the party was held.

" Oh, that. That is indeed my name," Grace replied casually.

" Your name?" Rivaldi's forehead is wrinkled

" Yes, my name is Grace Renata. And Aunty would rather call my name Grace," she replied.

" Grace Renata?" It seems Rivaldi doubts Grace's words.

" why? Can't believe it's my name? Do I need to get out my ID so you know I'm talking honestly?" Realizing that Rivaldi doubts her, Grace is ready to provide evidence of her identity.

" It's not necessary! Yeah, I'll take you home." Rivaldi finally received an explanation from Grace, so they then walked to the parking lot to their car.

***

" Rena, I'm sorry that you were offended by what I said earlier" upon arriving in front of Grace's apartment, Rivaldi apologized because he felt he had been selfish because he saw Satria was still close to the Erlangga family.

" It's OK." said Grace.

" I hope we can meet again outside of working hours" Rivaldi said, staring at Grace's beautiful face. It seems that Grace's presence has begun to attract the attention of Rivaldi. Even though they have different characters. However, Rivaldi felt that Kayra and Grace were both not interested in him. And that's what makes him so curious about Grace.

Garce just smiled as she gave a small nod, Rivaldi said. " Let's see later" he said later. " I'm going in first, yeah!" Grace wants to get into the apartment borrowed from Dirga.

" Do you want to sleep?" rivaldi asked, apparently reluctant to end his 'date' with Grace.

" Why is that?" ask Grace.

" Hmmm, okay ..." Grace agrees to Rivaldi's request, who wants to take her to spend time at the cafe at the top of Dirga's apartment.

Grace and Rivaldi ordered hot coffee and snacks. Because at the party, Grace had not had time to enjoy the food.

" You've lived in this apartment for a long time, Rena?" ask Rivaldi later.

" It's only been this year" said Grace.

" Are you in college too?" ask Rivaldi again.

" I went to college in Germany for a while. But, it's only been a year because my Papa told me to help manage the company" Grace said.

" In Germany? Where's where?"

Grace then mentions one of the universities in Berlin. Because he did go to college there even if only one year. His acquaintance with Joe made him forget his education.

" It's a pity not to continue your studies" commented Rivaldi.

" Why what else? Papa asked .." said Grace. " At high school, after all, the ends of marriage are also married and must obey the husband."

" What kind of man do you want, Rena?"

Grace looked at Rivaldi hearing the man ask her the criteria of her dream man.

" I like a man who is responsible and independent. Not dependent on his parents." Grace called the criteria as in the figure of Rivaldi.

Rivaldi smiled at Grace's reply. His eyes were now fixedly staring as if enjoying the beautiful face of the woman before him at this moment.

" You're not saying that I'm the man who fits your criteria, are you?" Rivaldi then chuckled.

" Do you feel like you belong to the criteria I mentioned?" Grace asked Rivaldi back with a smile.

" It seems so. At least I don't depend on my parents, * said Rivaldi confidently.

" It's a shame you're not a guy who falls in love with just any woman, right? So you don't have to worry, I won't put you in one of my dream men." Grace gave a small laugh, making Rivaldi not open her eyes to look at Grace.

" You're more beautiful if you laugh, Rena" said Rivaldi without hesitation to test Grace's beauty.

" Do you want me to say that you look good tonight too?"

Rivaldi chuckled to hear Grace praise him back. " I hope you didn't say it because you had to because I praised you" Rivaldi later said.

" Of course not! I'm telling you the truth. You are handsome. But, don't worry, I won't come after you." Kelakar Grace quipped because she had heard the words of Rivaldi who said she did not like if there were women who chased her.

Grace's words made Rivaldi laugh. She did not expect that talking to Grace turned out to be so much fun, it could even make her laugh out loud. Rarely can he do this to any woman. Rivaldi himself did not know, whether it was because he had become interested in Grace, because he felt comfortable talking to her.

***

While inside the apartment, Rizal glanced at his watch. It's 21:30 minutes. He's waiting for Grace to come home from Mr. Ronald's wedding. Though he's been getting info if Grace's been away from the party since. A few minutes later, she heard the door open from outside and Grace blamed the lights on the room.

" Have the date been over?"

Grace gasped in shock when she heard Rizal's voice from the direction of the guest house sofa.

" Do you usually infiltrate other people's places, Old Man?" sindir Grace because of the existence of Rizal in the apartment made him surprised.

" Have you forgotten that the owner of this apartment is my friend, after all I borrowed this apartment." Rizal then got up and approached Grace.

" Mister Erlangga said you didn't follow his lead, did you?"

" Wouldn't if I left the party it would be safer? I met my mom there anyway. It would be more dangerous if I stayed there, if Rivaldi knew who I was." Grace explains her reason for leaving and not running what Erlangga wants.

" Mrs Agatha came to the show?"

" Didn't you assume that my mama was a famous businessman and wasn't invited to the event?" grace Syndicate.

" Yes, a famous businessman, but had the wrong kid." Rizal turned back on Grace making Grace roll her eyeballs.

" What does Rivaldi suspect?" ask Rizal

" At first, but I can explain." Grace then recounts what happened when Rivaldi met Agatha.

" You're great, it's not wrong to be a member of my team." Rizal grinned.

" I had to do this instead of you throwing me in jail!" sahut Grace responds to Rizal's insinuations.

" Oh yes, there is one interesting piece of information that I think Mr. Erlangga needs to know." Grace thought about Arina

" What about?" ask Rizal.

" Rivaldi's parents seem to know Mr. Erlangga's family ...."

" Isn't the event really a businessman-entrepreneur show? There's a gathering, chances are they know each other it could happen." Rizal responded to Grace's words with a laugh.

" I'm not done talking, Old Man!" Grace was annoyed that Rizal cut off her speech plus Rizal's laugh that sneered at her.

" Well, all right, keep talking, what information do you get?"

" I think Rivaldi's mother knew the Erlangga family. Because she was scared when she saw Mama Erlangga. Then he said about the child. Rivaldi's mother was afraid that the Mahadika family would ask about the child. But, I don't know whose child is meant?!" Grace reported her findings at the party.

" What is the name of Rivaldi's mother?" Rizal began to take Grace's remarks seriously.

" I didn't get to ask Mama Rivaldi's name. But, I think this has something to do with Rivaldi's attitude of wanting to take Erlangga down." A few months of work in the investigator's office made him start to be able to assess a case.

" It could be like that. I have to report this to Bondan, in order to .Bondan conveys this information to Mr. Erlangga." said Rizal then took the phone to contact Bondan while Grace went into the room because she wanted to change clothes and remove her makeup.

" Hello, what's up, Zal?" Bondan's voice is heard from Rizal's phone.

" There's important information I need to tell you, Dan."

" What info?"

" According to Grace, Rivaldi's mother knew Mr. Erlangga's extended family. Rivaldi's mother looked terrified when she saw Helen. He said he was afraid that the Mahadika family would ask about the child. Do you know anything, Dan?" Rizal immediately relayed the report he had just received from Grace.

" I don't know what the relationship is between Mama of Rivaldi and Mr. Erlangga's family, Zal. But, I will immediately convey it to Mr. Erlangga." said Bondan.

" I think this has something to do with the reason Rivaldi infiltrated Mr. Erlangga's company."

" I also think like that Zal. Cough, Zal. Thanks information. I'll call Mr. Erlangga right now."

" Okay, Dan."

Rizal immediately ends the phone call with Bondan. While his eyes were directed towards Garce's unclosed room. From the glass in the room, Rizal can see the shadow of Grace who was opening her dress until now dangled down to now show the smooth body of Grace from behind who currently only uses CD only.

Instantly Rizal widened his eyes and swallowed his saliva. The sight before his eyes this time was the toughest temptation he had gotten during his time with Grace. Because the woman almost swallowed if only there were no pants covering the sensitive part of the woman. Even the beautiful bo kong was clearly visible as if waving around asking to be touched by it.
