A Mate is Never Wrong
Can't Hold It Again.

Niko and Gloriana were in the car. Niko deliberately invites Gloriana out to talk about her plan.

"Where are we going?" ask Gloriana. His fateful time at Niko's boutique said nothing but to take him out, "Are we going to have lunch together?"

"You hungry?"

"Yet. But I haven't had lunch."

Niko wasn't looking at him. His eyes focused on the road. "Then we talk in the car while driving around. I don't want my wife to see us, I didn't tell her I'd see you today."

"Then what are you taking me for?" Gloriana was a little irritated. He thought Niko's arrival to his shop wanted to take him to lunch together.

"I want to know," Niko said quietly without looking at him. His expression was flat, "what did you mix into my drink last night?"

Gloriana gulped. He didn't expect Niko to talk about it.

Niko stared hard. "My answer, Gloriana?"

"I think you've been testing your wife for not being satisfied with her. I put that blue liquid into the wine to see your reaction."

Niko clucked. "I'm testing him not because of that. Only she can make me excited."

"What's the real reason you're testing it for?"

"You don't need to know. After all, what we do has a deal. I pay you and you run errands from me. Even the contract is not over yet, I pay you as agreed."

"You asked for it yourself."

"I knew. And my goal now is for you to help me one last time. I won't pay you, because last night you put that devil's medicine in my drink."

Gloriana chuckles. Although irritated his goal was not met, he could imagine how miserable Niko was when the drug reacted.

"No problem, just take that duty as my punishment."

Niko smiled the same.

"Say, what am I supposed to do?"

"I want you to go to Wulan and admit that you're pregnant with my son."

Gloriana surprised. "Confessing pregnant?" she laughed, "Bru this time I met a crazy husband like you. In this world there is no husband like you, Niko."

Niko did not deny, he himself felt strange about the actions he had done against Wulan.

"I want to know how sincere my wife is."

Gloriana shook her head. "When do I get to see him?"

"Thursday night you meet Wulan at home. I'll send you the address. There are guards there. If they're holding you back, just say you want to see my wife."

"Thursday ... Why not just today? It's better sooner than it is to wait two more days."

"Monday's her birthday."

"If he doesn't forgive you, how?"

"Friday morning we'll both meet him, congratulate him and admit, if all this is just fabrication."

Gloriana agreed. Seeing Niko's attitude that tested Wulan made him not have to work hard anymore to get the man. Wulan will definitely be angry and will most likely leave Niko.

"I'll make Wulan cry" she said inwardly, "I'll make Wulan leave Niko."

"I'll take you to the boutique now" said Niko.

Gloriana surprised. "okay."

Drtts... Drtts...

The incoming call on Niko's phone made her turn her head. He saw the object in front of the indicator was emblazoned with my wife's writing.

"Don't talk first" she told Gloriana, "My wife called."

Gloriana agreed. Inwardly he had already planned something if Wulan left Niko.

"His wife will definitely get angry and leave him. Niko would definitely come to me and regret her actions," he thought with a faint smile, "That's my chance to tease Niko. I'm gonna put some medicine in like a pussy, so he sleeps with me. I'll make him touch me."

"Hello, Honey?"

Niko's voice broke Gloriana's mind. He looked out the window, but his ears and mind were focused on listening.

"On the road with the client," Niko's gaze was straight forward, "Male, dear."

Gloriana held back a laugh. She didn't think a guy like Niko could lie either.

"No problem, my money won't run out. My money is your money too."

"Of course, honey. Don't worry, I will definitely accompany you."

Gloriana looked at him again. Niko's flat expression was gone ever since the man received Wulan's call.

"Be careful, dear."

After deciding on the call Niko glanced at Gloriana. "Thank you, yeah."

The woman pretended to be surprised. "Thank you for what?"

"Because of your medicine last night I pounced on my wife until morning."

Gloriana laughing. "You should be grateful then."

Niko laughed back.

Gloriana got the idea. "How about tonight you show your wife signs?"

"Signs?" Niko was confused, "What signs do you mean?"

"I'll call you and tell you to come to the apartment. You're telling the truth, after that it's up to you. So that tomorrow just as I meet him he's more sure, if it turns out we're in a relationship."

Niko thought. "Good idea. I'll be at a party with him later tonight. You can call me around eight or nine."

"okay."

On the other side.

"What's he saying?" fanny asked impatiently, "Is he angry?"

"He said it was my money too."

Fanny laughs. "Obviously, you're his wife."

They had just left the boutique for a nearby restaurant. Once inside and getting a seat, Wulan recounted her conversation to Fanny.

"He's lying, Fan."

Wulan's slow voice made Fanny surprised. Wulan's expression was so sad.

"Why lie?"

"He said his client was a boy."

Fanny could feel the sadness Wulan felt. "I don't want to provoke you. But, it's good that you have the truth."

"I just don't want to see what I don't want to see, Fann. It must hurt."

"At least you can vent your emotions to them."

Wulan's eyes water. "From their interactions the other day there was enough evidence for me. There's no way just their business associates can get that close."

Fanny quiet.

Wulan's tears are dripping. "Maybe I could still endure the pain of seeing them. Now ... Meeting secretly and lying to me disappointed me. I'm disappointed in Niko, Fann."

Fanny cries to see Wulan. As a friend, he does not like to see Niko's interaction with other women, especially Wulan who is his own wife.

"You can't have a lot of thoughts, can you?" he said slowly, "Remember your baby."

"What's my fault, Fan? What am I wrong? Why would Niko want me? Why did she do this after there was a baby in my stomach? If he doesn't love me, he shouldn't have to marry me."

Fanny thrust a tissue at Wulan. "We'll talk later, people see us."

The pain in Wulan's chest was unbearable. He continued to cry and vent his disappointment towards Niko.

***

On the way to Niko's house looked agitated. He contacted Wulan's contacts but was not always denied. Niko was confused as to what caused Wulan to reject her call, the last time they spoke Wulan was fine.

At high speed Niko finally arrived home. His heart was beating more and more, seeing the wife's car was not in the garage.

"Good night, sir," said Inem as soon as Niko entered the house.

"Where is Wulan?" his expression was worried, "Had he gone home?"

Seeing Niko's expression made Inem worry too. "The lady hasn't come home yet, sir. If it's not wrong, the lady leaves at twelve noon."

"Yes, my God, where the hell are you, baby? Why was my call rejected?"
