PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Rejecting Grace

Grace parked the car she was driving in the basement of the apartment. He gets news from Sam who is assigned by Rizal to follow the movements of Rivaldi. According to the news obtained from Sam, Rivaldi was sliding into the apartment owned by Angkasa Rizal borrowed to carry out the action. Exactly like Rizal's prediki if Rivaldi would definitely meet Grace to find out more about Grace.

Grace ran to the elevator door. He had to chase time, lest Rivaldi leave first. He pressed the floor button number to go to and immediately went inside when the elevator door opened. And when she reached the floor she was on, Grace found Rivaldi already standing at the elevator door. It seems like the man wants to go down.

" Rena? You why?" Rivaldi was surprised when he saw Grace's face that looked bruised on the left cheek.

" You?" Grace pretends to be surprised to see Rivaldi.

" What's your face, Rena?" Curious about Grace's bruised face, Rivaldi asked again.

" N-it's okay ..." Grace walked quickly away from Rivaldi.

" Rena wait!!" Rivaldi restrains Grace's arm so that the woman does not move away from him.

" Abinskhh ...!!" Grace squealed as Rivaldi held onto her arm.

" Sorry, Rena. You why? Why your face and hands?" Rivaldi suddenly took his hand off Grace's arm.

" I told you, I'm fine!" Grace leaves Rivaldi for her apartment.

" Mrs ...!!" Rivaldi ran after Grace because she was very worried about seeing Grace's current condition. " Rena, Mr. Word was in my office this afternoon. He said you were hard to contact, and now your face and body are bruising like this. What's really going on, Rena? Who did this to you?"

Grace can see Rivaldi's anxiety when she learns of her current condition.

" You don't have to interfere in my business, Aldi! Whoever did this to me, it's none of your business! You better get out of here!" Grace opens the door to her apartment and asks Rivaldi not to disturb her.

" Can't, Rena! If anyone does violence against you, at least I can tell Mr. Firman so he can tell your Papa." Rivaldi refuses to be expelled by Grace.

" I don't want my Papa to know! So get out of here!!" Grace went inside her apartment and wanted to close the door. However, Rivaldi held back the door leaf with his hand.

" Rena, let me in. You told me why you could have those injuries? Who's being rude to you, Rena?"

" Hiks .. Go, Aldi! Leave me alone ..." Grace has to act crying so that Rivaldi is more convinced that she is not okay at the moment.

" Rena, let me in. You can tell me about your problem, Rena." Seeing Grace sobbing, Rivaldi grew increasingly anxious about the problems that were happening to Grace.

" I want to be alone, please go ...!" Grace begged.

" Alright, but later I'll come back here if you've calmed down." Rivaldi held out her hand the door to Grace's apartment.

Braakk

Grace closed the door of the apartment and locked it. She then wiped away the tears that had adorned her drama earlier.

" This year, I should have won the Oscar." Grace stepped towards her room to clean her body.

***

Grace turned her phone next to her as she heard the flat object ringing. He saw the name of his mother who was contacting at this time. Grace knew her mother would ask about her closeness to Rizal.

" Hello?" grace said as she picked up a phone call from Agatha.

" Grace where are you now? Mama went to your house, Bi Saonah said you were staying at the apartment. But, Mama check into your apartment, you're not there!" Agatha asked Grace for her current whereabouts.

" I'm not in my apartment, Mom. I'm on a mission and I have to stay in a luxury apartment owned by the company Angkasa Raya" Grace explained why she was not at home or in her apartment.

" A luxury apartment owned by Angkasa Raya? What mission are you on, Grace?" agatha was confused.

" Mama don't need to know, huh! Rather than make Mama dizzy." Grace asks Agatha not to ask much questions about her mission.

" Grace, you didn't commit the crime back, did you!?" ask Agatha worriedly.

" Did you think the old man would let me commit a criminal act again?" grace rolled her eyes.

" Grace, Mama seriously asked. How is your relationship with Mr Rizal? Don't tell me if there's nothing between you. You guys go to dinner at a fancy restaurant, you dress up pretty and look feminine. And Mama saw Mr. Rizal's hand holding your hand. What does all that mean?" ask Agatha in full search.

" What did Mama think?" Not giving a clear answer, Grace asked Agatha. He knew if his mother would think in which direction.

" Grace, don't tell me you're in a relationship." The words Agatha spoke were anxious if her conjecture turned out to be true.

" The old man liked me and wanted to make me his wife" Grace said honestly. He was convinced that Agatha would oppose it.

" Mommy doesn't agree you're married to her, Grace!" True to Grace's guess, Agatha was opposed to her relationship with Rizal.

" What's the matter?" ask Grace.

" You're young, Grace! And Mr. Rizal is far above you!" Agatha conveyed the reason for her rejection of Rizal who wanted to marry Grace.

" Did Mama also think that way when she wanted to marry Gavin? She's a long way below Mama, right?" Grace reverses Agatha's decision to marry Gavin.

" Yes, but .. You see for yourself, right? Our house did not last long? Mama doesn't want you to experience it that way!" Agatha tries to compare with the fate of her marriage with Gavin who ran aground.

" Grace, Mama knew Mr. Rizal was a good man. But, Mama wants you to get the right companion for you." As a parent, of course Agatha wants Garce to be able to find the right companion for Grace.

" What is the right companion for me, Mam?"

" If you can whose age is not too far from you. Oh yeah, Aunt Susan already gave Erick the phone number to Mama. You'll communicate with Erick. Who knows you two could fit in." Agatha plans to agree to Susan's proposal to match Grace to Erick.

" Mom, this is a modern age, yes! I don't want to be betrothed!" Although Grace is happy to match Rizal with Agatha and Rizal's client. In fact, he himself would not if he was betrothed by Agatha.

" There's no harm in you communicating with Erick again. Mama knows her family, surely Erick won't be as bad to you as your ex-boyfriend was." Agatha advises Grace to re-establish communication with Grace's childhood friend.

" We'll talk about it next time, Mom. I'm sleepy. Bye ..." Grace immediately ended her conversation unilaterally without waiting for an answer from Agatha.

Teett

The sound of the apartment door rang as Grace ended her phone call with Agatha.

Grace frowned, guessing who had come to the apartment.

" Did Rivaldi come here again?" Grace suspects that Rivaldi is coming. Because he had heard Rivaldi say he would see him again when he was calm because of his acting this afternoon.

" What else is he doing here?" lamented Grace when she saw the figure of Rizal who is currently standing in front of the door of her apartment.

" What are you going to do here?" grace asked as she opened the apartment door. He then walked towards the sofa and sat back to Rizal with his hands folded on his chest.

Rizal came in and closed the apartment door. She followed Grace's steps and sat down in front of Grace, staring at Grace's face.

" You're mad at me because I didn't tell Bella how I felt?" Rizal believes Grace is angry with him for not daring to take a firm stand against Isabella.

" Not really! I'm ordinary!" Grace turned her body back to the sitting Rizal.

Grace's childlike attitude made Rizal smile. He could feel the irritation from the sentence spoken by Grace. Rizal does not move from his sitting position, he actually stroked and played the end of Grace's hair.

What Rizal did suddenly made Grace look at the man.

" Don't hold on!" Grace brushed off Rizal's hand playing with her hair.

Rizal chuckles at Grace's jutek attitude which during making him miss arguing with a woman who is younger almost half of his age.

" You refused to buy me your hair. But, you don't refuse if I kiss your lips. What does it mean that you'd rather I kiss than I'd buy?" rizal asked with a smile that teased Grace.

Grace rolled her eyeballs then glanced at Rizal as the man alluded to her not resisting if Rizal kissed her lips.

Grace then got up with her hands folded back in her chest.

" What do you want to come here? Say it! I'm going to sleep!" Grace shows an attitude if she doesn't like Rizal's presence in the apartment.

" If you want to sleep, I will accompany you."

Rizal's words made Garce widen her eyes.

" Don't think me sum yet!" rebut Rizal chuckled. He then laid his body on the sofa. " Let me sleep here." He folded his hands under his head and smiled.

" Don't be weird, huh! You better get going!" throw Grace back.

Rizal then got up and stepped closer towards Grace.

" I'll leave as long as you're not mad at me" he said later.

" Aren't I used to being like this with you?" Grace rolled her eyeballs. Consider Rizal too excessive.

Rizal grabbed Grace's hand and held it, then said the promise, "I will definitely say this to Bella. If I hadn't told Bella straight away, that doesn't mean I'm messing with my feelings, Grace. I mean it with my will." Rizal now kissed Garce's fingers, making Garce instantly gasp with the romantic attitude that Rizal showed her.

" Why do you think I'm angry? I don't think it's important!" Grace took her hand from Rizal's.

" As long as you know, my mother is against me being in contact with you. My mother agreed to Aunt Susan's plan to set me up with Erick. And Rivaldi, he looks worried about me. It's not hard for me to take her heart. You think I'll wait for you until your son agrees to your intentions!?" Grace said casually because she felt she could choose whomever she wanted.

" I won't let you belong to any one of them or any man!" Rizal clutches Grace's arm and insists that she won't let any man have Grace.

" You can't force me while you don't dare to tell your daughter!" Grace again insinuated Rizal's attitude that seemed to pull back against him.

" Well, I'll tell Bella tonight!" Rizal. He then rushes out of Grace's apartment leaving Grace stunned by Rizal's sudden demeanor.

***

As soon as he reached his house, Rizal immediately rushed to meet Isabella in his room. He must act quickly, before anyone else seizes Grace's heart. The appearance of Rivaldi alone has made himself inflamed, coupled with the presence of Erick who still looks the same age as Grace and is very handsome.

" What's up, Pih?" isabella asked as Rizal knocked on her bedroom door. Especially when he saw Rizal look stingy like running away.

" Dear, Papih wants to talk to you." Rizal then enters Isabella's room. Grace's threat of her being able to choose any man she likes makes Rizal panic and have to move quickly.

" What's up, Pih?" Isabella saw the unsettled face of her Papih at this moment.

" Dear, Papih wants to be honest with you. Papih hope you also understand the state of Papih. And, Papih apologizes if Papih's decision is very disappointing for you." Rizal was still trying to find the right sentence for him to explain to his daughter.

" What Papih means?" Isabella is increasingly confused by the words of Rizal who said that his Papih had disappointed her.

" She wants to talk about it, Grace."

Isabella's facial features instantly changed when Rizal mentioned the name of the woman who was currently the woman he hated the most.

" Why is it with him?!" ask Isabella in a pitched ketus.

" The Papih can't keep Papih's promise to you, dear. Papih can't lie to Papih's feelings continuously."

" Papih likes that woman, right!?" Isabella can guess the direction of Rizal's conversation. Even now his eyeballs have condensed and filled with tear fluid that is ready to spill.

" I'm sorry Papih, dear." Rizal regretted that he had disappointed his only daughter whom he loved the most.

" It's fair that Papih was never willing to let go of that woman. Because Papih is already trapped by the evil woman's game!" Isabella cried immediately. Of course he felt disappointed by Rizal's confession who said that his Papih liked Grace.

" It's not like that, honey. Grace isn't who you think she is, and she didn't trap Papih." Rizal tries to dismiss Isabella's accusations against Rizal.

" Papih defended her because Papih had been blinded by love by her! Bella won't, Pih! Bella doesn't want Papih to choose her! Why would Papih prefer him to Bella, Papih's own son!?" furious Isabella.

" Papih's not like that, Bella! Papih loves you very much." It was hard for Rizal to explain to his only daughter.

" If Papih loves Bella, leave that woman! Papih can choose another woman, pih. But not that woman! That woman is evil, not good for Papih!" Isabella remained in her stance rejecting Grace as Rizal's companion.
