PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Whatever I'll Do to Get You!

Grace glanced at the watch in her hand. Time had already shown ten hours past fifteen minutes, but Rizal did not also arrive at his office. The man did not reveal where Grace was at the moment.

Grace thought that Rizal went to see his mother. However, if the man met Agatha, her mother would definitely contact her soon. Because he believes that his mother disapproves of him having a serious relationship with Rizal. However, Agatha's phone doesn't appear on her phone, leading her to drown out allegations that Rizal met her.

Grace glanced at Vito who was busy with her work.

" Where's your boss going?" grace asked Vito, hoping that Vito knew of Rizal's current whereabouts.

" Mister Rizal didn't tell Miss?" ask Vito to ask.

" If he told me, how could I ask you!" Grace rolled her eyeballs in response to Vito's question.

" I'm sorry, miss." replied Vito realizing he was wrong to ask. " Mr. Rizal did not give any news of coming late today to me, Miss." he continued.

" Well, if he doesn't tell me you didn't call him to find out why he's late!?" Grace seems upset that Vito does not know where Rizal is.

" Mister Rizal has never been like this before, Miss. Usually Mr. Rizal always gives word if it's late." Vito explained.

" You mean, this is the first time the old man has come so late with no news?" Grace got up from the seat and walked towards Vito's desk.

" Right, Miss." said Vito.

" How long have you been working here?" tanya Grace then stood in front of Vito's table with her hands folded across her chest.

" This is my eighth year working with Mr. Rizal, Miss." replied Vito.

" Eight years? Pretty long too .." said Grace. " That means, you know your boss' ex-wife?" Grace begins to wonder about Rizal's ex-wife. During his time in Rizal's office, not once did Grace extract information about Rizal's ex-wife. This was the first time he had asked about Rizal's ex-wife.

" Sonias mother? Yes, I know the late ..." Vito replies to Grace with a faint smile. He realizes that Grace is looking into his boss's ex-wife. Perhaps because of the serious relationship that Grace and Rizal are currently living, Grace makes many wonder about Rizal's personal life. That's what Vito thinks.

" What was your boss's wife dying from?" ask Grace again. Grace dares to ask Vito, as she is convinced that Vito will not be like her colleagues below who cannot hold secrets. If he asks Yuanita, Indra or Jamal. They'll definitely cut him off.

" Because of pain, Miss." Vito did not want to explain in detail the pain suffered by Rizal's ex-wife.

" After his wife died, did he never get close to another woman?" ask Grace curiously.

" If you like Mr. Rizal a lot, Miss. But never responded by Mr. Rizal. I thought Mr. Rizal would never fall in love again. But, it seems I was mistaken, because Miss's presence had changed Mr. Rizal's indifference to women." Vito recounts how Rizal behaved towards women before meeting Grace.

" I honestly did not expect that Mr. Rizal could fall in love with Miss," continued Vito expressed his surprise.

" Hahaha, I'm beautiful! Who's the guy who won't fall in love with me?!" said Grace confidently then walked back to where she was.

Vito just smiled in response to Grace's narcissistic attitude. As a normal guy he has to admit, Grace is physically attractive. But, she dislikes Grace's overly barbaric nature and mannerisms and is happy with her free life.

Twenty minutes later Rizal came to his office. With wide strides he entered his office after getting out of the car.

" Good day, sir." Greet employees Rizal downstairs when he saw the appearance of his boss from the office door.

" Day," said Rizal.

" Later in the afternoon, will you make the treaty, sir?" asked Indra who yesterday asked to be treated by Grace and Rizal, to celebrate the beginning of the relationship Grace and Rizal. At least that's the rumor among Rizal's men after Yuanita told him about the ring Rizal gave to Grace.

" So." Rizal turned his watch which had indicated the time was close to eleven in the afternoon. " Later after Dzuhur only, yes!?" continued.

" Okay, Sir. Sip!" sahut Indra shakes his two thumbs.

" Thank you, Mr. "Other Indra colleagues chimed in. While Rizal stepped up the stairs with a small run.

Rizal's swift steps as he climbed the stairs made Grace and Vito turn towards the stairs.

" Good day, sir." Vito immediately greeted Rizal with a greeting while Grace turned her face when she saw the appearance of Rizal from the stairs.

" Day, Vit." reply Rizal.

" Someone was looking for Mr. Rizal." Seeing Grace's indifferent attitude when Rizal came, but Grace asked Rizal's whereabouts, Vito idly said to his boss wanted to tell how Garce's attitude was, when restless waiting for Rizal's arrival.

" who? Do I have an appointment to see a client, Vit?" Rizal actually took Vito's words seriously. He considers that there are indeed clients who come to meet to hire his services to handle the case experienced by the client.

" No, Sir. It's not the clients who come here looking for you. But, Miss Grace who has been restless waiting for Mr. Rizal's arrival." With a grin, Vito told her what Grace had done earlier.

Vito's words suddenly made Grace look up and stared intently at Vito, while Rizal turned to Grace with a smile on his lips.

" Is there really anyone waiting for me, Vito?" The fact mentioned by Vito, made Rizal develop a wide smile, even now began to tease Grace who had been impressed with him.

" right, Sir. Even I got angry because I was considered indifferent to Mr. Rizal because I did not know the whereabouts of Mr. Rizal when Mr. Rizal came late and did not give word." Maybe Indra science has been absorbed by Vito. Until now Rizal's confidants have also begun to dare to mocked Grace

Grace increasingly glances sharply towards Vito who has unlocked her secret. " Fuck, you!" Maybe that's the exact sentence describing Grace's sharp gaze on Vito.

" Hmmm, someone's already starting to miss me apparently." Rizal walked over towards Grace's desk. " Are you right, Miss?" Rizal pressed both palms on Grace's table and bowed her body.

" Don't geeer! I asked because your men at the bottom asked what was the lunch treat so?! You're the one who intends to treat them, right?! Not me!" Grace refused, not wanting to honestly say if she felt something was missing without Rizal present there.

Rizal smiled, he knew if Grace was lying because the woman did not dare to look at him.

" Oh yeah, Vit. What else did he ask me when I wasn't there?" Rizal actually asked Vito without turning his face towards his men.

Grace glanced back at Vito, hoping that Vito would not say that she was wondering about Rizal's ex-wife.

" Nothing, Sir. Miss Grace only asked about Mr. Rizal's whereabouts because he arrived late at the office without giving any news." For this time Vito covered what Grace had asked him.

" Come in, there's something I want to talk about!" Rizal then walks into his room and asks Grace to follow him.

" Fuck, you!!" curse Grace on Vito before stepping into Rizal's workroom, which Vito replied with a chuckle.

" Not really!" grace replied casually as she spread her shoulders.

" I just met your mom in her office."

The next sentence from Rizal made Grace wide-eyed and now focused her eyes on the man before her.

" You met Mama? Then what did Mama say?" It was certain that Grace would be surprised and curious about what was being talked about between Rizal and Agatha.

Rizal let out a long sigh before giving an answer to Grace.

" Mama refused, right?" Not immediately getting an answer from Rizal, Grace had guessed for herself how her mother's attitude towards Rizal.

" Your mother needs time to consider my proposal. Your mama said you wanted to discuss this with you and also Om you're in Germany." Rizal explained the results of his conversation with Agatha.

Rizal now held Grace's arms together and continued to say, "It's only now that you determine your attitude, Grace. You should also be able to fight to convince your Mama if you also actually want to be with me." Rizal was very sure if Grace also wanted to be with him.

" You want me to lie to say that?" Grace's question made Rizal narrow his eyes.

" You want to lie by saying you don't love me?" Now Rizal replies to Grace's question.

" I don't love you, old man! You're the one who's too confident!" Grace ventured to look into Rizal's eyeballs as if denying what she felt.

" How dare you lie to me, Grace!" Rizal knew that Grace was lying to him even though the woman in front of him dared to look at him.

Rizal then pulls down Grace's nape and burrows a touch on Grace's lips to start over again as they did last night. And back Grace did not refuse, but instead enjoyed. What he said was completely contrary to what was in his heart.

" Why do you still dare say that you don't love me?" rizal asked as they took a breath with their foreheads touching each other "Why don't you want to be honest if you really want me too?" rizal asked for an answer from Grace.

However, it was not the answer that Rizal received. But, it was precisely the sound of crying that she heard from Grace's mouth.

" Hey, why are you crying?" Rizal gasped to find the stubborn woman who had always been fierce was suddenly crying in front of him. That made Rizal confused. She hugged Grace and buried Grace's face in her chest and showered the woman's head with a kiss.

For some reason, Grace also did not expect if she suddenly became as melancholy as she was today. It was as if the fade had been his arrogant and stubborn attitude all along.

Spending a few months with Rizal did bring change to Grace. Although it always goes through a debate. However, Grace did feel Rizal's attitude was very concerned for her.

Honestly, Grace must admit, with Rizal himself feels comfortable especially the touches given by Rizal often make his heart rustle. But Grace was afraid. He was sure of a lot of opposition from his family side as well as Rizal's family if they forced their relationship. So that he did not dare to raise his expectations about their relationship.

Grace always tries to muffle her feelings that arise in Rizal so that she is not heartbroken a second time if their relationship is really not condoned.

" Why are you crying? Where did the brave woman Grace go?" Rizal wipes away Grace's tears and tries to calm down Grace who is still sobbing.

" Are you not sure of my sincerity?" Rizal cupped Grace's face and looked at Garce's eyeballs filled with clear liquid.

" " I don't want any more heartache" said Grace.

" I'm not gonna hurt you, Grace!" Rizal tries to convince Grace that she believes him.

" There will be many obstacles if we continue this" Grace said.

" We will face it together!" Rizal.

" It won't be that easy!" sahut Grace lowered Rizal's hand which cupped her face. " It won't be easy to get my blessing from Mama and Om. I don't want to keep arguing with your son either! You better forget your intentions! We live each. One more week the punishment I have to live with will be over. I'm going to get out of here, it's better for you to forget about me" Grace said.

" No, Grace! I will fight for my will! You've entered my life, and I won't let you leave me!" Rizal.

" Where Om do you live? We'll meet your Om soon! I'll propose to you and ask Om you to be your guardian for our wedding!" Rizal is desperate. She had to fly to Germany to get the blessing of her Papa Grace's sister, who was to become Grace's marriage guardian.

" You can't do that! Not necessarily Om Daniel would approve of me marrying you!" Grace forbids Rizal from seeing her Om in Germany.

" Whatever I'll do to get you, Grace! Even though I have to go all the way to Germany!" Rizal is undaunted to face the hardness of heart Om Daniel.

" Grace, if you also want to be with me, please fight! Support me to do whatever I can to marry you, have you." Rizal asks that Grace support him. At least, Grace was not discouraged from achieving happiness for both of them.

" I'll call Daniel first. When Om I have free time. Om Daniel is so busy, I don't want your coming there to be in vain for clashing with his work." Grace eventually decides to tell her Om about Rizal's plans to propose to her. He pityes if Rizal goes there and is rejected outright by Om Daniel.

" Okay then." Rizal again cupped Grace's face. " I love you, Grace! I promise I will fight to get you and we will live happily!" rizal concluded his remarks by giving a soft touch back on Grace's lips, making the woman more comfortable with him.

***

Agatha and Rivaldi were having a serious conversation while enjoying their lunch. Agatha chooses a Japanese restaurant to meet with Rivaldi and devises a plan to thwart Rizal's intentions of marrying Grace.

Agatha tells Rivaldi how she met Rizal. The assault on Gavin. The wounds Grace gets from Joe and the punishment Grace runs for committing criminal crimes against Gavin. However, of course he did not tell about the promiscuity that Grace embraced with Joe. Because he doesn't want Rivaldi to retreat regularly if he says his daughter is no longer a virgin.

" So, Rena is currently serving her sentence and volunteering at Rizal's private investigator agency?" Rivaldi nodded his head. Finally he understood, how Rizal and Grace could work so neatly. Even the guess if Erlangga hired Rizal and Grace is getting stronger. Because Grace did it without pay but because she's serving her sentence.

" Right, Aldi. Grace was forced to do so rather than have to deal with the law" Agatha replied. " But Grace is actually a good boy. It's just that he went the wrong way because he met the wrong person. Auntie sure, if she was with you, Grace would definitely be a better person." Agatha hopes Grace will live happily with Rivaldi. Especially in terms of economics, Rivaldi is more established than Rizal.

Rivaldi pulled the corner of his lips upwards. Complete is the information that he had been looking for. He did not have to bother to send Jimmy's men whom he judged bo doh it. But, he actually said the information is free from reliable sources directly. In fact, she was given the green light to get closer to Grace. The woman who had been deceiving him all along. Who had soared his hopes high before finally being knocked down to pieces.
