PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Love Doesn't Need A Reason

" What's up, Vit?" Rizal notices Vito who looks hesitant to say something to him. That certainly makes Rizal curious about Vito's attitude that seems not calm as usual.

" Hmmm, Mr. Rizal. I want to ask Mr. Rizal's permission."

" You want a vacation?" Not finished Vito mentioned his point, Rizal had cut Vito's sentence first.

" No, Sir. Not that!" Vito dismissed the assumption that Rizal thought he intended to leave.

" I'd like permission to take Bella to lunch." Vito asks Rizal for permission to invite Isabella because he wants to advise Isabella not to be easily influenced by Rivaldi.

" Do you want to express your feelings for Bella, Vit?" Rizal grinned as he leaned his back against the back of his chair. He suspects that his men intend to declare their love for Isabella, whom he has been harboring.

Vito gave a smile while nodding his head as if agreeing with what his boss said.

" If Mr. Rizal allows me to approach your daughter" Vito replied without awkwardness.

" Alright, Vito. I will support you if you really like Bella. I know what kind of man you are!? I'd be calm if the one keeping Bella is a guy like you, Vit." Working long enough with him, making Rizal very familiar with the nature and character of Vito. Vito is a patient and painstaking man, according to him, perfect for his spoiled daughter.

" Thank you for your trust in me." Vito said thanks for being given the opportunity by Rizal to approach Isabella. The green light that Rizal gave him made him even more excited to achieve his dream to have a child from his boss.

" Have you made an appointment with Isabella?" ask Rizal later.

" Already, Sir. I've contacted Bella" Vito said.

" Yes, then go! Don't make my daughter wait so long!" Rizal tells Vito to leave immediately.

" good, Sir. Excuse me ..." Vito rushes out of Rizal's office. As he was about to pass through the door of Rizal's office, Vito passed Grace.

Grace and Vito look at each other for a moment, before Vito finally comes out of Rizal's room.

" Why is he?" grace asked in surprise when she saw Vito's happy face when she came out of Rizal's office.

" He asked permission to see Bella" said Rizal got up and walked over to Grace.

Grace widens her eyes as Rizal says that Vito wants to meet Isabella. He was afraid that Vito would tell Rivaldi about Rizal.

" He wanted to express his feelings for Bella" Rizal continued, making Grace even more gasp.

" sthat mean? Vito likes Bella?" grace asked in disbelief if it turned out Vito liked Isabella. But he was calm because he did not choose the wrong person to help Isabella to escape the influence of a devious man like Rivaldi.

" Yes, do you agree with Bella and Vito?" rizal asked as he wrapped his hand around Grace's shoulder.

" Why are you asking me?" sanya Grace turned to Rizal because Rizal was currently embracing him.

" You're Bella's future mother, so you have the right to give your opinion." Rizal grinned as he pinched Grace's nose while referring to Grace as the Mamih candidate from Isabella.

" Can you not? Don't use the KDRT?" Grace rubbed her nose that was pinched by Rizal, making the man chuckle.

" If I am, whatever. I think Vito's good, he'll definitely do what your son wants." Grace immediately recalled the time when Vito was an intermediary between herself and Isabella, when the two of them met until it happened close together which caused a mess between her and Isabella. Of course it was because of Isabella's idea without Rizal's knowledge.

" Yes, I think Vito does fit in with Bella. Vito can fuck Bella." Rizal expressed his opinion about Vito. She took Grace to sit on her couch in her study.

" Oh yeah, have you heard from your Om? When are we gonna see your Om?" Rizal was impatient to meet with Om Daniel quickly, so that he could directly propose to Grace. To be honest, Rizal could not wait to marry Grace. Not just because she fell in love with Grace. But, because he was afraid Rivaldi would get in the way of his desire to have Grace.

" Future we'll go to Singapore. I just wanted to let you know that I booked a plane ticket and a hotel room there." Grace explained to Rizal that she had prepared an accommodation ticket for their departure to Singapore to meet Om Daniel.

" We're gonna stay there?" ask Rizal.

" Well, we go on vacation. Think of it as honeymoon in advance." Grace joked as she chuckled.

" You can't stand having a honeymoon, can you?" Rizal grinned playing both of his eyebrows.

" Yes, I wonder how good you are in bed? Durable or fast lackluster?" Grace rubbed the jaws of Rizal sitting next to her. His eyes looked at the eyes of the eagle Rizal who was also looking at him fixedly.

" You can feel it later, Grace. How good am I in bed!? I'm sure you'll beg me for mercy!" Rizal put on a smile as if affirming if he is powerful enough to serve Grace later.

" You must be mighty if you don't want me to stay, and I'm looking for a younger one." Grace accidentally seduces Rizal and angers Rizal because she knows, Rizal will be angry if he says he will turn his back on Rizal.

" Dare to turn away from me!? Before you do that, I'll get you to your knees in bed, so you never think about doing that with another man!" Rizal threatens that Grace will not think to share her heart with another man.

Grace looked at Rizal's sharp eyeballs. The man who was almost twice his age did still look handsome and charming.

" Why do you want me? You know I'm not a holy woman." Actually Grace is also confused why Rizal continues to pursue her. Grace realized that she was physically attracting the adam to approach her. However, she once felt a free life and had a relationship with her ex-lover until she lost her crown as a woman. Rizal can actually get a better woman than him. Although the age of the man was almost four heads. But, he believes that many women want Rizal as his companion.

" Love doesn't need a reason." Rizal answers Grace's question as to why she wants Grace for him to have. " During our one year together, I only saw you were you. Have a stubborn nature. It's not easy to be intimidated. But, I think you are a good woman, just maybe you get less attention from your parents so you rebel," said Rizal explained why he chose Grace to be his companion.

Rizal's words touched Garce. Of course with his dark past, being loved so deeply by a good man like Rizal is a very happy thing.

" Especially you are a tough woman, I think you are the type of woman who is suitable to accompany me especially with my current job, Yaaa, at least I can use your skills to help my work for free. Hahaha ..." In the midst of his seriousness, Rizal actually joked to make Grace's lips chuckle.

Vito smiled to welcome the arrival of his beloved girl who had just arrived at the cafe they had scheduled to meet. Isabella always looked beautiful and perfect in her eyes. Vito has been fond of Isabella ever since she entered High School. But, of course she did not dare to express her feelings directly to Isabella, because she was afraid that Rizal would not approve of her. Moreover, Rizal did forbid Isabella dating before graduating high school.

" Hey, Vito" said Isabella when she reached the table that Vito had ordered.

" Hey, Bella." said Vito by developing a happy smile.

" Sorry I'm late, brother. It was a little late coming out of the campus." Isabella explains why she came to see Vito late.

" Please ..." The cafe waiter came and gave them a list of food and drinks.

" I'm asking siomay to have lemongrass tea, ma'am." Isabella mentioned the food and drink menu she chose. " What message did Vito have?" isabella asked because she saw Vito had not ordered any food and drinks.

" Just be equal to you." Vito likened his order to Isabella.

" The message just made two servings huh, Ma'am!?" Isabella repeated her order.

" good, Brother. I repeated, huh!? Two servings of siomay and 2 lemongrass tea? Any other additions?" ask the cafe waiter.

" That's it, Ma'am." said Isabella.

" Good, wait a minute, brother. Excuse me ..." The waiter leaves Vito and Isabella.

" What does Vito want to talk to me about? Does it have anything to do with Papih?" isabella asked who was completely unthinkable if Vito actually wanted to express love to her.

" Hmmm, no! This has nothing to do with Bella's Papyrus." Vito was a little awkward saying the reason for taking Isabella's lunch.

" then?" isabella asked, looking at Vito's face, who looked a little hesitant to speak.

" So Vito really wants to meet Bella, because Vito wants to say that Vito likes you, Bella." Finally Vito dared to honestly express his feelings to Isabella, without further ado.

Vito's honest confession instantly leaves Isabella aghast. Vito is not the first man to express interest in him. Even since Junior High, many male friends also say they are interested and want to be her lover. However, because she felt too small and her Papih forbade her from dating until graduating high school, Isabella never dared to date. And Vito's statement this time is a statement from the first adult man who expressed love to him. Moreover Vito is his own Papih's men.

" Sister Vito has been wanting to say this for a long time. But, Brother Vito did not dare because Bella was still in High School. Vito's sister is also afraid Papih Bella forbids Kak Vito to approach Bella. But, after Vito got permission from Papih Bella, Kak Vito ventured to say this to Bella." Vito explained why he just now said that feeling.

Isabella fell silent, as if she did not know what to say to reciprocate Vito's expression of feelings.

" Would Bella give Vito a chance to get close to Bella?" ask Vito expectantly.

Isabella took a deep breath. Vito has been kind to him all along. Maybe because Vito is his Papih's guy, or maybe because Vito likes him. Vito certainly never showed a bad reaction to him.

During this time he had also considered Vito like his own brother. And she knows what it would be like to be Vito's girlfriend because she doesn't feel anything about being with Vito. It was very different when he was dealing with Rivaldi. For some reason, Isabella suddenly remembered Rivaldi. With the man, Isabella actually felt vibrations that she had never felt before if close to men.

" Will Bella accept Vito's request?" Vito's question made the pensive Isabella gasp.

" Hmmm, I haven't thought about dating, brother. I want to focus on college first." Subtly, Isabella refuses Vito's request.

" It's okay if Bella can't answer him now. But, at least give Kak Vito a chance to prove that Kak Vito is serious with you, Bella." Vito tries to convince Isabella so that the girl does not doubt him.

" Hmmm, Bella will consider again yes, sister. Because Bella does not want to make decisions without careful thought first. Especially the romance business. All this time our relationship was very good. I don't want this good relationship to be bad because I'm making a decision too soon." Isabella actually wanted to refuse straight away. But, he could not bear to do that instant on Vito.

" It's okay, Bella. Vito is ready to wait for you." Vito has prepared himself to be heartened to accept whatever decision will be taken by Isabella.

" Oh yes, Brother. How's Papih's relationship with that woman?" Isabella changed the subject.

" Which Brother Vito sees, Papih you're more excited right now, Bella." Vito smiled if he remembered the behavior of his boss who was stricken with bucin virus on Grace.

" Is it true that the woman has been betrothed to another man by her mother?" ask Isabella back.

" Where do you know?" ask Vito curiously.

" The Papih said," replied Isabella, there is no way she would have said that to him.

" Ayeah right. And the man she wanted to be betrothed to, with Miss Grace, was a cunning man who was good at deceiving his victims!" Vito's words sounded full of annoyance. Of course, now he began to feel dislike for Rivaldi because Rivaldi had approached Isabella, and it is not impossible that the man will deceive Isabella.

" What did the man do that Papih and Kak Vito call him a cunning man?" Of course Isabella is very curious, because she thinks Rivaldi is very good and far from the criteria of a sneaky word. Maybe because he was too innocent and did not know the various male characters.

" Some time ago, we got the assignment to investigate the man. Because the man had once done a less commendable act. He was intent on snatching the wife of a famous businessman. Even he had infiltrated the company and pretended to be an employee to know the company's clients, then he tried to take them for him to work with his own company." Vito explains Rivaldi's ugliness to Isabella so that Isabella is not affected by Rivaldi's persuasion.

" And about the matchmaking, actually he wants revenge on Mr. Rizal and also Miss Grace. She accidentally meets Lady Agatha, Miss Grace's mother, saying she loves and wants to propose to Miss Grace. We also don't know what purpose he did the stunted thing for? For sure he has a very strong grudge against Mr. Rizal and Miss Grace.

The statement delivered by Vito suddenly made Isabella aghast. He did not expect that the new Rivaldi he knew well turned out to be that slick. Even wanted to take revenge on his Papih. Isabella felt a sense of fear. He was afraid that Rivaldi would want to return the heartache to his Papih through him. Because he had paved the way and given Rivaldi an opportunity to approach him

" Astaghfirullahal!"

" Why, Bella?"

" O God, Brother. That guy's been seeing Bella. Bella doesn't know she's that bad. Bella even gave Bella her phone number. Bella also told the Bella campus. How's this, brother?" Isabella immediately felt anxious.

" Have that guy seen Bella?" Vito pretends not to know that Vito already knows it from Grace.

" Yes, Brother. So how's this, brother?" Isabella bit her lip.

" You take it easy, Bella. From now on, don't ever get in touch with her again! If he's meeting Bella, tell Vito right away." Vito tries to calm Isabella who looks very frightened.
