PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Grace had just finished tidying up her desk because Rizal had asked her to get ready, because the man wanted to take her to lunch. Grace immediately grabbed a flat object that served as a communication device that she placed on the table to pick up the call.

" Hello, what's up, Mam?" grace asked as she answered the incoming call that turned out to be from her Mama.

" Grace, you're coming to Mama's dinner tonight, huh!? Mama wants to take you to meet someone." After Rivaldi leaves her office, Agatha does contact Grace, as she plans to meet with Rivaldi.

" Diner? Who do you want to meet, Mom?" Grace is lazy if invited to go to events that are usually made by her mother.

" Later you'll know for yourself if you meet him, Grace. You know him, really." As Rivaldi wishes, Agatha does not tell Grace if the person she will meet is Rivaldi.

" Who, Mam? Erick?" At once Grace remembered Erick, because her mother had wanted to bring her closer to her friend's child.

" Not Erick. But, he's no less handsome than Erick, Grace. He's a businessman. Mama thinks she's a perfect fit to be your future husband, Grace." To hinder Grace's relationship with Rizal, Agatha would need someone she wanted to bring Grace closer. And this time Agatha seemed to find the right person when Rivaldi suddenly came to see her and expressed interest in Grace.

" Mom, Mama's not trying to match me, is she?" grace asked suspiciously.

" What if Mama is planning to match you up? You're an adult, Grace. You must seriously choose your soul mate, do not be careless! Choose a husband who is financially well established. And his age is normal with you! Not too far away from you, Grace. It's enough for Mama to feel that way!" Agatha did not want Grace to experience what she experienced when she married Gavin.

" Mom, I'm young! I'm not planning on going to the stairs yet!" Grace firmly rejected her mother's plan.

" It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married anytime soon. But, at least, you're coming tonight, let's meet that guy, Grace." Agatha continued to persuade Grace that her son would follow her plan.

" Okay. But, just meet, no talk about all matchmaking!" Finally Grace accepted her mother's invitation, provided Agatha did not talk about arranged marriages. That's the condition Grace gave Agatha.

" Yes, already. The important thing is that you come to the dinner." Agatha accepted the conditions given to her by her son.

" Where's the dinner, Mam?" ask Garce later.

" In a regular restaurant, the time of your birthday dinner was yesterday, Grace." said Agatha. " When will we meet there at seven or will Mama pick us up?" tanyanya.

" I'll go alone, Mum." replied Grace. " Yes, Mom. Bye ..." Grace instantly turned off the phone call when she saw Rizal had already walked out of her room.

" Vit, we're having lunch first." Rizal told Vito. " Come, Grace!" Then she took Grace who was still sitting in her chair.

" Yes, sir." Vito answered Rizal's words with a smile on his lips. Vito has heard rumors about Rizal and Grace's relationship. Of course he will support as long as the decision makes the boss happy.

" Want to go to lunch, sir?" indra's famous question was quite nosy when she saw Rizal and Grace go down together.

Indra's question was answered by Rizal with a smile.

" So when is the inauguration, sir? Our treaties dong, sir." Seeing Rizal not angry with Indra's words, Jamal also teased his boss.

" What are you asking for?" Rizal stopped his steps hearing Jamal's question. He responded to Jamal's request.

" It's up to us, sir." said Jamal did not suspect that Rizal would respond to his request.

" Yes, we'll go home from work to eat." Rizal approved the employee's request. " How?" she glanced at Grace.

" Ready, Sir!" sahut the employees of Rizal serempak.

" I can't go with you." Remembering that later that night she had dinner plans with her mother, Grace said she could not join the other team-mates.

" Yeahh, the time that had the show did not come, anyway?! Not fun dong, Grace!" Yuanita chimed in.

" I have a show tonight" Grace replied.

" Of course, if you have lunch tomorrow, how about it?" Rizal changed the time to treat his employees.

" Ready, sir." replied Rizal's employee back at the same time.

After it was agreed by his men when the meal treaty was held together, Rizal and Grace walked out of his office to their car to go to lunch.

" What's the show tonight?" asked Rizal after arriving at the car feeling curious. During her surveillance, Grace almost never went to an event without her knowledge, except when disguised as Rena.

" Mama took me to dinner," I'm Grace, honestly.

" Do you have dinner with your mom? What if I come? All right, I wanna talk about my plan to propose to you?" Rizal feels it is the right time for him to meet and talk to Agatha to talk about his intention to propose to Grace.

" It's not a regular dinner, because Mama wants to meet with her business relationship." Remembering when Mama said that the man she wanted to introduce was a businessman, Grace thought that person was her business relationship. Of course Garce does not want the dinner to be chaotic, if Rizal comes will propose to her, while Mama herself wants to introduce him to her relationship.

" Yes, you ask when your Mama has time so that I can meet her" said Rizal.

" Yes, if I remember," said Grace.

Rivaldi came early at the place he had planned to go with Agatha. He is indeed one of the people who is on time if he promises to meet others.

Ten minutes later, five minutes from the promised time, Agatha arrived at the restaurant.

" Good night, Auntie." Rivaldi greeted Agatha upon seeing Agatha's arrival.

" Good night, Aldi. Sorry, Auntie's late, huh!?" Agatha glanced at the watch in her hand.

" It's okay, Auntie." said Rivaldi. " Rena didn't come with Auntie?" Not seeing Grace's presence with Agatha, Rivaldi asked Grace for her whereabouts.

" Grace will come later. Aunty's already offered what Auntie wants to pick up, but Grace refuses." Agatha explained.

" Oh so ...."

" Have you ordered the food menu?" ask Agatha.

" No, Aunt. I deliberately waited for Aunt and Rena, It's up to Aunt who ordered it," said Rivaldi.

Agatha ordered some food and drinks for them to eat together.

" What is Rena doing all this time, Auntie?" Rivaldi began to pry information about Grace from Agatha.

" Hmmm, there's a task Grace is working on right now." Agatha is unlikely to say the real thing that Grace experienced Rivaldi's fight. " Aunte wanted him to run his Papa company in Germany, but he refused. During this time his Papa company was held by the sister of his Papa Grace. But, Om it's got another job so it's a bit troublesome if you have to handle some company alone." Agatha begins to tell how Grace lives to Rivaldi.

" Grace always thought she was coming in young, still wanting to enjoy her youth and not wanting to mess around with work issues. In fact, Auntie also wants her to be able to take care of Aunt's business here, if she feels objected to take care of her Papa's business." Agatha seemed to find the right person she made a place to vent.

" That means Rena really refused to take care of her parents' company huh, Tan?" Rivaldi thinks, even in disguise, it turns out the story of Grace is indeed the same as the story of Rena. Both children of rich people and refused to be asked to take care of the company of his family.

" Grace ever told you the same story?"

" Yes, Tan. Rena also said she was reluctant to be asked to take care of her Papa's company" said Rivaldi.

" Grace is stubborn as his son. Don't want to set this up it's the same Aunt. Just be yourself ..." Agatha did not cover up her daughter's attitude.

" Oh yeah, Tan. Does Aunt know Mr. Firman? Hmmm, I don't know the name, I don't remember. His man was about forty years old. Whiskers and pick sideburns." Rivaldi calls the characteristics of Rizal. Hopefully Agatha also knew the figure of the man who claimed to be named the Word.

" Rizal sir means that?" Of course Agatha knew the traits mentioned by Rivaldi.

" Ah, that's right. Aunty knows who Mr Rizal is?" rivaldi asks, wondering what is Grace and Rizal's relationship? Why did they both deceive him? Especially when she found out that Grace was a businessman's son.

" Oh, Mr. Rizal it .. he's Grace's bodyguard." Agatha is confused to tell who Rizal really is. So he made up the story by calling Rizal Grace's personal bodyguard.

" Personal bodyguard?" Rivaldi frowned at Agatha's reply. It makes sense to look at Rizal's physique if it is called Grace's personal bodyguard. However, what made him not understand was, why did Rizal and Grace deceive him by saying that they were both business for Mr Satria? It was a mystery that he still could not solve at the moment.

" Well, there he comes!" Agatha saw Grace walking with the restaurant waiter towards her. Because he had left a message to the waiter if he was still waiting for someone who had not come and asked the waiter to take Grace to their table.

Rivaldi deliberately did not immediately turn to Grace, because he wanted to know Grace's facial expression when he saw her presence in front of Grace. It just so happened that the position where she was sitting was turned against Grace.

" Grace, why are you so late?" Upon reaching the table Agatha immediately rebuked Grace. " It doesn't feel good for your guests because they have to wait a long time" he lamented later.

" Sorry, Mum. It was jammed." Grace replied then turned her head towards the person sitting behind her at this moment. He wanted to apologize to his guest.

Simultaneously Rivaldi instantly got up and turned his body towards Grace.

" Hi, Rena. How are you doing? It's nice to see you again" Rivaldi said with a smile on his lips.

Grace was immediately aghast at the figure before her at this moment. She did not expect that the person her mother wanted to meet was Rivaldi.

" A-aldi?" grace is still in shock.
