PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Uncovered

Grace prepares to persuade Arina to leave later in the day. As Rizal ordered so he could take Arina out of the Nugraha house this afternoon. Erlangga himself has contacted directly to his number, and said he was sliding to Bandung with his father, Krisna Mahadika Gautama. So, she should as much as possible bring Arina to go accompany her this afternoon.

" Bi, where is Aunt Arina?" grace asked as she walked down the stairs.

" Mommy's in the backyard, Non Rena. Taking care of her ornamental plants. Bi Sumi pointed towards the back of Rivaldi's parents' house.

" Oh, thanks, Bi." Grace then walked towards the backyard of the house, until she found the figure of a graceful woman who was cutting some withered leaves from the ornamental plant.

" Aunty ..." Grace walked over to Arina.

" What's up, Rena?" Arina turned towards Grace who called out to her.

" Tan, I want permission to go out in the afternoon, okay?!" Grace asked Arina for permission.

" Where are you going, Rena?" ask Arina.

" I'm gonna go get some clothes, Tan. I need some more clothes and other necessities. You know, I'll probably be at my friend's house a few days later." Grace gave a reason.

" Who are you going with?"

" On your own, Aunt. I'll have an ojek online." said Grace.

" Why use an online motorcycle? Send the driver here later, Rena." Arina didn't let Grace go alone.

" It's okay, Auntie. I don't feel good bothering the Auntie family constantly." Although she refused, Grace was sure Arina would not let herself go.

" Why do you always refuse Auntie's offer? You're new here, so Auntie is worried that you're going alone. Where do you want to buy your needs?" ask Arina back.

" It's just the nearest mall from here, Tan." replied Grace.

" Look, how about Aunt accompany you to find your needs?" Exactly as Grace had guessed, it wasn't difficult for her to influence Arina to go along with her.

" Oh my goodness, Auntie. Doesn't that bother Auntie? I'm not feeling well, Tan." As usual, Grace acted perfectly.

" Aunty actually likes to accompany you shopping, Rena. Or, maybe Rena herself would mind Auntie?" Arina thinks Grace doesn't like her being with her.

" Where could I be like that, Auntie. Auntie's family's been good to me, when I was like that?" Grace denies.

" Yes already, then let Auntie accompany you out. When are you going?" Arina still decided to come with Grace, according to Grace's expectations.

" Later in the afternoon, we'll eat out, Tan."

" Yes, Auntie, finish this first. We just left, huh!?"

" Thank you, Tan." Grace smiled happily as her plan of bringing Arina out seemed like it would work.

" Yes, Rena." said Arina.

" Aunty loves ornamental plants, huh?" grace asked as she waited for time.

" Yes, Rena. Auntie loves it. You like it too?" Arina asked Grace.

" No, Tan. I like flowers but I don't like to care for ornamental plants. Can't take care of him either," I'm Grace to be honest.

" It's okay, Rena. Doesn't diminish Aunt's judgment on you, really." Arina smiled in response to Grace's honest remark.

" What judgment, Tan?" Grace frowned.

" Respect as a future Aunt's son-in-law." With a small laugh Arina answered Grace's question.

" Am, Aunt ..." At once the hue of Grace's face looks reddened. He really did not expect the warm welcome he really got from the Rivaldi family especially Arina. Though Arina herself only knew him after meeting at the wedding of Mr. Ronald's son yesterday. However, at once guilt rippled through Grace's heart. He could imagine how disappointed the Rivaldi family would be if he found out that he was just doing a skit.

***

At exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Grace and Arina came out of the Nugraha house. The first destination was the mall to buy some clothes for Grace. After you have finished buying clothes and other necessities. Grace takes Arina to lunch first.

Grace chose a typical Sundanese restaurant located not far from the mall. He immediately contacted Erlangga where he was now.

" Aunty order what?" ask Grace when choosing a menu of food in a typical Sundanese restaurant.

" I ordered a packet of rice liwet. Drink some warm tea," Arina mentioned her order to the waiter.

" Good, Mother." said the waiter.

" Good rice, huh, Tan?" ask Grace

" Have you ever tried?" ask Arina.

" No, Tan." Grace replied.

" Try messaging if you want to feel. It's delicious, right."

" You can, Tan. I take the order, Ma'am. Drink orange juice." Grace followed what Arina ordered.

" Good Tea." said the waiter before finally leaving the two of them.

" Aunty's eaten here before?" ask Grace.

" When the same family several times. And indeed the food here is quite good, so it looks a lot of visitors, right!?"

" Yes, Aunt." Grace circulates the view looking for Erlangga's whereabouts in the restaurant. However, he has not found the figure of the boss of the company Mahadika Gautama there.

Ddrrtt

An incoming message from Erlangga is seen on Grace's phone as Grace retrieves the phone from her bag.

" I'm behind you. Be prepared to do as I say."

" Okay." reply Grace briefly.

" You know, Rena. The aunt never went out to eat like this other than the same Aunt herself." Arina told me while waiting for the food order to come.

" Oh yeah? Then this is the first time Auntie went out with someone else?" ask Grace. From the front camera of the phone he held Grace could see the movement of Erlangga who was walking closer to him.

" Yes, but Auntie hopes you're no longer someone else for Aunt in the future."

Grace simply gave a smile in response to Arina's words. While his eyes continued to point to the screen of his cellphone which saw the figure of Erlangga and Krishna who were getting closer to him.

" Aunty, I'll let you go to the toilet for a second, okay!?" Grace asked permission and got up from her seat.

" Oh, please, Rena." said Arina.

Buugghh

Grace accidentally rammed her body into Erlangga who was approaching her position, as planned by Erlangga.

" Be careful if you walk" Erlangga said.

" Yes, sorry." said Grace.

Seeing Grace hit someone, Arina immediately turned to the person who was hit by Grace earlier. Arina's forehead instantly wrinkled as Erlangga's presence before her.

" Are you okay, son?" krisna asked beside Erlangga.

Arina's face immediately paled when she saw Papa from Erlangga especially now that Krishna turned to her.

" Arena? You're Arina, right?" ask Krishna.

Grace can feel the changes in Arina's body gestures when she sees Erlangga and Krishna's presence together. Arina's face looked terrified.

" Do you know this mother?" Erlangga asked Krishna.

" Don't you remember Sus Rina, your old nanny, Lang?" ask Krishna.

" Sus Rina?" Erlangga also pretended to be shocked.

" Geez, is this really Sus Rina?" Erlangga's play could not cover up the man's happiness of being so reunited with his former nanny that he embraced Arina's body.

" Sus Rina how are you? Long time no see Sus Rina." she said back.

" Arina, is this your son you were born with?" Chris looked towards Grace.

" Hmmm, not Om. I'm not Aunt Arina's child" Grace replied quickly.

" didn't you? Then where's your son now, Arina?" Again Krishna asked the daughter of Arina, who was the niece of Krishna.

Grace saw tears coming out of Arina's cheeks. Grace feels that Arina is under pressure right now. Even Arina's body seemed to waver and almost fell down if only Erlangga did not catch Arina's body.

" Sus, what's the reason?" asked Erlangga worried.

" Aunty, Aunt why?" Grace approached Arina. He also could not bear to see Arina as she was right now. Maybe if Rivaldi knew he was taking Arina and met with Erlangga, let alone Arina to tears and almost fainted, Rivaldi would be angry with him.

" Lang, we'd better talk somewhere safe. Try ordering a private room." Krishna told his son to find a comfortable place for them to talk.

" Yes, Pa." said Erlangga. " Can you help Sus Rina for a second?" Erlangga told Grace to hold Arina's limp-looking body.

" Aunty, Auntie why are you crying?" Grace seemed to feel the pain that was being felt by Arina.

" Arina, we don't blame you because you left the house. Don't be afraid, Arina." Krishna tried to calm Arina down.

" Pa, I've booked a private room." Erlangga had already returned from ordering a private room for them.

" Sus, we're talking in the private room." Erlangga again led Arina and took Arina slowly to the private room. Grace was trailing behind him.

" You better wait here. Because what we want to talk about is a personal matter." Erlangga asked Grace not to enter the private room.

" Okay," said Grace.

Grace chose to wait outside the private room and pay for the order that Arina had ordered even though they did not eat.

An hour later, Arina had finished talking with Erlangga and Krishna. Different when entering the private room, this time Arina looks calmer.

" Sus Rina don't worry, I'll help find the whereabouts of Sus Rina's daughter. Believe ...!" Erlangga who still held her hand on Arina's shoulder said as she rubbed Arina's arm. Erlangga's attitude looks very fond of Arina as if Arina is her own mother.

" Thank you, Lang." Arina smiled happily.

" Aunty, Auntie is okay?" Grace then approached Arina.

" Aunty's okay, Rena." said Arina.

" You better take Sus Rina home." Erlangga told Grace to bring Arina home soon.

" Aunty, we're home now!" Grace guided Arina's hand.

" Mr. Krishna, Eagle. Honey, excuse me. Arnold ..." Arina said goodbye to Krishna and Erlangga.

" Waalaikumsalam," said Erlangga and Krishna together.

" Nick, Sir. Rivaldi meets with Mr. Satria." Sam conveys shocking information to Rizal.

" what?? Rivaldi meets Mr Satria? Where's where?" asked Rizal aghast.

" In the parking lot of a five-star hotel, sir. When viewed from the look on his face, it looks like the disguise of Mr. Rizal and Grace has been revealed." Sam reported his analysis of Rivaldi who seemed to have known if he had been fooled so far.

" Okay, Sam. Keep an eye on Rivaldi's movements. I need to call Grace now." Rizal shuts down his phone with Sam, because he has to tell Grace immediately. Otherwise, Grace would be in danger.

" Let's lift up, Grace!" Nor was he picked up by Grace. making Rizal senewen.

He then took his car keys and walked into his study.

" Vito, I'm going to Bandung. Office titip!" Without waiting for a reply from Vito, Rizal rushed down the stairs. He continued to contact Grace.

" What's up, Old Man? Do I also have to tell you while Mr. Erlangga himself has got certainty about Mama from Rivaldi?!" As her phone call lifted, Grace immediately answered Rizal's phone call.

" Where's your current position, Grace?" ask Rizal.

" I'm still at my future-in-law's house." Grace intentionally mentions the word prospective in-laws so that Rizal is jealous.

" Rivaldi meets Mr. Satria. Our disguise seems to have been known by Rivaldi. You better get out of that house as soon as you can!"

" Rivaldi meets Mr Satria? Then, just get here under my cover?" Grace's tone sounded disappointed.

" You better get out of there. I will report this to Mr. Erlangga. You hide in the hotel first. I'll get you there now!" rizal said then rushed to his car to travel to Bandung.
