Grace was already preparing to await the arrival of Rivaldi who was about to pick her up at noon today. She had already dressed up as beautifully as possible, in order for Rivaldi to become more visible to her. Wasn't that the mission he had to run in order for him to more easily approach and obtain information about Rivaldi's true purpose.
" I'm sure Rivaldi will definitely be more fascinated with me." Grace noticed her appearance this afternoon wearing a sleeveless green and white floral dres. No influence for him the one who will go with him is a boss. Grace remained on her own style of dress.
Teettt
Grace glanced at her watch. It's still half an hour to eleven. However, it seemed like Rivaldi had arrived earlier than the time the man had promised.
Grace runs to open the apartment door, though she hasn't worn her sneakers yet.
" It's not eleven yet, you know!" grace said as she opened the apartment door. However, it was not Rivaldi who appeared before him, but Rizal who was standing with a waistline.
" What else are you gonna do here?" Grace rolled her eyeballs looking at the appearance of Rizal in front of her at this moment.
" Thwart your date with that guy!" rizal said he went into the apartment.
" Hurry and get your bag! And come with me!" Rizal tells Grace to follow his orders.
" Where are you going? I have an appointment with Rivaldi!" It is certain that Grace refused Rizal's request and then twisted the body to leave Rizal.
" You're not going on a date with that guy!" Rizal pulled Grace's hand to make Grace's step stop, even now her body is interested and already in Rizal's arms.
" Why are you, anyway!? You jealous of me being near Rivaldi?" Grace rubbed the overgrown jaw of Rizal's hair. " If he likes me and I like him too, you're still going to ban me too, old man?" Grace smiled faintly as she looked at the eyes of Rizal's eagle.
" You must remember, old man. I have the right to choose the man I like. And if that man is Rivaldi, you should be able to sincerely accept him." Grace gave a smile. " The papih must bless you, dong!" he said it was spoiled.
" You still won't let me go with Rivaldi!" rizal is back.
" What's the matter?"
" Because I want you! I won't let any man come near you including Rivaldi!" firmly Rizal does not cover what he wants anymore.
Grace was stunned for a moment when she heard Rizal's confession saying that the man wanted her. However, he did not want to be swept away. Rizal had said something like that to her some time ago. Even Rizal said that he was his future wife. In fact, Rizal's attitude changed again after being influenced by Isabella. After all, he also did not want to have a serious relationship with a man who was much more mature than him like Rizal.
" You better get going! Soon Rivaldi will arrive." Grace parsed the winding of Rizal's hand on her waist. " I just want to gain the trust of Rivaldi, so that I can get the information of his plans against Erlangga." Grace explains that closeness is only for carrying out missions.
Teett
The sound of the apartment bell rang again. And that made Grace gasp, because what came this time must have been Rivaldi.
" You must hide, old man! Don't let Rivaldi see you're here!" Grace panicked and immediately pulled Rizal's hand and took the man to her room.
" You took me to my room. Do you want to make love here?" Rizal agrees to tease Grace.
" Ck, throw your mind at me sum!" argue Grace.
" Aren't you the one who bullies me often?"
" That's it! Don't talk too much! Don't out! You're just here!" Grace warns Rizal to stay hidden. Then he ran to immediately open the door for Rivaldi.
" Hey, Rena ..." Rivaldi immediately greeted Grace when the apartment door opened. She looked at the appearance of Grace who always looked beautiful in her eyes.
" You're on time" said Grace.
" I'm always on time if I have an appointment to meet people. Moreover, the person I want to meet is a beautiful woman like you. I don't want to make it wait for me long" said Rivaldi mentioned his habit that had always been on time.
" Hmmm, start, deh ..." Grace rolled her eyeballs assuming that what Rivaldi said was just a lip sweetener.
Rivaldi chuckled at Grace's reaction. " Didn't you let me inside?" ask Rivaldi later.
" Oh, sorry ..." Grace opened the door of the apartment and allowed Rivaldi to enter.
" I'll put on some shoes for a while, yeah!" Grace hurried to pick up and put on her shoes.
Rivaldi frowned. She thought Grace would wear heels with that dress. However, Grace chose sneakers instead.
" I'll get my bag first." After she finished wearing the shoes, Grace headed to the room to pick up her bag which she still kept in the room.
Grace finds Rizal peeking at her from behind the door.
" I'll go first." Grace takes the bag and says goodbye to Rizal.
" Don't mess with him!" Rizal pulls Grace's hand until Grace's steps are restrained.
" I don't fuck around, at least two of a kind, if not hug, yes kiss." Grace chuckles at Rizal's words. However, Grace's laughing voice came to a halt as Rizal suddenly pulled down Grace's nape and buried the touch on Grace's lips gently and long enough.
" Don't dare give your lips the man touched." whispered Rizal as his gaze paused with their eyebrows touching each other. " Go .. run your mission, don't use your heart and feelings" she said, taking off Grace's body she had embraced.
With a confused step Grace walked out of her room.
" We're leaving now?" rivaldi asked as he saw Grace coming out of his room.
" I-iya .." said Grace and Rivaldi then walked out of her apartment. Meanwhile, before closing the door, Grace turned to the room where Rizal had stood by smiling at him.
On the way to where she was going, Grace kept thinking about Rizal's attitude towards her.
" He said he wanted me, but his attitude was always that unstable. If caught by his son, it will certainly stay away as if ignoring me. Cih, she thinks I want to be with her?!" Grace swore inwardly in response to Rizal's attitude which she thought changed frequently.
" What do you want to eat, Rena?" Rivaldi's voice disperse the daydreams of Grace who is still confused by Rizal's attitude to her.
" It's up to you" said Grace.
Rivaldi turned to look at Garce, since coming out of the apartment, Garce seemed to be more silent. I don't know what the woman next to him is thinking right now.
" What's up, Rena?" Curious about Garce's changing attitude, Rivaldi finally asked the beautiful woman.
" It's nothing, really." Grace tried to cover up. Of course he didn't want Rivaldi to know what was bothering him.

After Maghrib, Rizal took off his shirt and sprayed a masculine scented perfume on his body. She then took the clothes for a change because she was planning to take Grace to dinner. Of course, Rizal does not want to lose to compete with Rivaldi who has several times easily invited Grace on a date.
Finished dressed neatly, Rizal came out of his room and went down the stairs.
" Where are you going?" asked Isabella who was climbing the stairs at the same time.
" Hmmm, Papih wants to meet Papih's friend, dear." said Rizal, he does not want Isabella to know if Grace is the person she really wants to meet.
" Female friend?" Isabella noticed the appearance of her Papih from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
" Oh, yeah already .. be careful, Pih!" Isabella seemed to believe Rizal's words, making the man breathe a sigh of relief.
" Papih's leaving, honey. Ariston ..." Rizal kissed Isabella's forehead.
* Waalaikumsalam .." sahut Isabella then continued her steps to the room when Rizal had gone down the stairs.
About twenty minutes later, Rizal's car was parked in his best friend's apartment. Rizal rushes down and heads towards the floor of the apartment inhabited by Grace.
Rizal twice pressed the bell button near the door because the first bell was not responded by the beautiful woman. And it was only on the third bell that she sounded that the apartment door was opened by Grace.
" You?" Grace is shocked by Rizal's appearance on the apartment doorstep. This was the third time Rizal's arrival had taken himself by surprise.
" Hurry and change your clothes!" Rizal walks into the apartment and tells Grace to change clothes.
" Change clothes? What's for?" ask Grace.
" We have dinner outside" said Rizal.
Grace laughed at Rizal's words. She knew what the man before her meant to take her out.
" You want to ask me out, old man? God, if anyone saw me last day with a guy and I went out with a different guy the other night, I could be called a love player, dong." Grace chuckles.
" Did you always argue that Rivaldi was taking you away?" Seeing Grace not immediately following her request, Rizal protested.
" When Rivaldi invites of course different, dong! If I walk the same way she still deserves, still like a couple lovers. If I go on a date with you, there I'm mistaken for another Om-Om stash ..." Grace rolled her eyeballs. " After all, if taken away to eat Rivaldi, it is definitely to a luxurious and expensive place to eat. While if you go with you, there I was taken to the food stall five feet."
" Young is not necessarily good. For instance? Rivaldi, he's a cunning guy. Other evidence? Your lover ran away. Are they all good people?! Already, quickly change clothes! I wait fifteen minutes for you to get ready ..." Rizal glanced at his watch.
Grace frowned hearing Rizal who ruled arbitrarily. However, he himself ended up obeying what Rizal had asked for.
Twenty-five minutes later, Grace had finished changing into her clothes and decorating her face. He then came out of the room to approach Rizal who was waiting in the guest room.
Rizal stared at Grace's appearance which always looked beautiful.
" Where are we going on a date?" grace asked pitched sneered.
Rizal got up and approached Grace. Her hand caressed Grace's long hair that was left to unravel. Garce's appearance looks more graceful than when this afternoon was about to go with Rivaldi.
" Why look at me like that?" grace asked watching Rizal who was looking at her with a smile on his lips.
" We're leaving now ..." Not wanting to say if he was so fascinated with Grace, Rizal then invited Grace to immediately leave the apartment to go to the place they wanted to go.
***
Rizal chose a western restaurant in a large mall that is visited by many elites, such as businessmen and also on celebrities of the country. Rizal doesn't want Grance to complain about his choices so he takes the woman to a suitable place for a child entrepreneur like Grace.
" Are you sure you brought me here, old man? Have you no losses? It's an expensive restaurant, can you afford it?" sindir Grace as Rizal takes her to the restaurant.
" If I can't pay, I can pawn you here!" sahut Rizal retaliates against Grace's insinuation.
" The al! You think I can pawn!?" grace's protest made Rizal chuckle.
Rizal then takes Grace to the empty table at the restaurant. She and Grace then ordered a menu of food they wanted to eat together.
" I want to have a serious relationship with you. So I hope you're not too close to Rivaldi. You must restrict yourself from Rivaldi!" Rizal advises Grace not to open her heart to the man.
" Hey, you can't manage me! I have the right to choose!" Grace refuses to be arranged by Rizal.
" I can be the best choice for you!" rizal firmly confident.
" Does your son know of his behavior?" sindir Grace because she's sure Isabella won't approve.
Rizal was silent, the obstacle is currently only in his daughter who always opposed him with Grace.
" Have you spoken to your son?" Grace suspects that Rizal hasn't said that to Isabella.
" I'll tell Bella" said Rizal.
" Will say? You haven't told your son and you're asking me to accept you, old man? Is it not reversed? You should have talked to your son before you asked me to accept you!" Grace grunted in annoyance. He was sure Isabella would definitely accuse him of a no-no. Assuming she seduces Rizal, accusing him of influencing Rizal. If it is so it is he who is accused of Rizal of being rude to his daughter like some time ago.
" I'll talk to Bella. But, you have to give me a chance. I want to start a serious relationship with a woman, and I want to do it with you. I'm sure I can be the best man for you." Rizal clasps Grace's hand trying to convince Grace if she can be the man she can be happy with.
" Grace, Mr Rizal? What are you guys doing here?" Someone's voice rang out making Grace and Rizal gasp. Even Rizal immediately released his hand that was holding Grace's hand.
" Mama?"
" mrs?"
Grace and Rizal both rose from their seats after seeing Agatha's presence before them.
" Agatha, Grace, this is your daughter who used to play with Erick, right?" The middle-aged woman beside Agatha asked as she pointed towards Grace.
" Yes, Susan. She's Grace, my daughter." said Agatha. However, Agatha's eyes were still full of questions to Grace and Rizal who both looked misbehaved.
" Hello, Grace. Remember the same aunt? This is Aunt Susan, Aunt Erick's mother. You used to play together with Erick." Susan then greeted Grace and hugged Grace by putting her cheek on Grace's cheek.
" Well, you're all grown up and you're getting beautiful now, Grace. If Erick saw you, he would love to see you like this" he continued.
" What are you doing here?" Agatha who was still curious about Rizal and Grace both at the restaurant was still wondering.
" Agatha, who is this guy?" Realizing Rizal's presence near Grace, Susan now asks who Rizal is. He sees that Rizal does not deserve to be called Grace's lover.
" He is this ..." Agatha was confused as to what Rizal wanted to explain to Susan.
" Is he your candidate, Agatha?" ask Susan later.
