Despite the simplicity of the wedding reception Viona and Deril are very crowded. The bankers and relatives of the Lamber family quite a lot who enliven.
Niko and Wulan just arrived. They are the center of attention because they look so harmonious and classy.
Some bankers know Niko. Wulan no wonder, rich businessmen like her husband must be known by many people. Especially in the banking world.
Not only Niko, the bankers also know Wulan. Some of them were even surprised to see Niko turned out to be her husband Wulan.
"You're lucky to have a husband like Mr. Niko. Rich, handsome again."
"Right," said Niko, "i'm also very lucky to get a wife like Wulan."
Wulan smiled and accepted their praise. While walking, looking for a chair she said to Niko, "They thought marrying a rich and handsome husband was as happy as they thought, it must be a lot of draining feeling to be able to survive with a rich and handsome husband like this husband."
Niko offended. He paused for a moment, looking at his wife while holding back a laugh.
Wulan doesn't care. He continued walking, approaching the chair in Fanny already waiting with Darius.
"I don't think you're coming because of that, '" whispered Fanny.
The party is enjoying the dishes. There were some enjoying drinks while standing up and talking. There are also those who sit in their seats while enjoying the food.
"If not Viona and Deril I don't want to come."
Fanny smiled. "Consolately made?"
Wulan accidentally went home to get rid of swelling in her eyes due to crying. During that time he also thought about what decision he would take once he saw Niko.
After nearly three hours he finally decided to ignore the incident earlier this afternoon. Wulan did not want to dispute what she saw in order to maintain her relationship with her husband.
"He's already sorry."
Fanny grunts. "I can't be like you. In your position, I must be angry, sulking and obviously not want to see it."
Darius stood up, pulled a chair for Niko and then let her sit down.
Niko refused. "Thank you, Darius. Come on, let's just get out" Niko looked at Wulan, "Me and Darius ahead first."
Wulan nodded. After the two men left Wulan explained what happened after he came home. He also talked about his feelings for Niko.
"I'm confused, Fan."
"Why?"
"If he was cheating, he wouldn't have overwhelmed me. Or he'll refuse even if I ask for it."
Fanny.
"From yesterday to yesterday he overwhelmed me. Imagine, yesterday from night till morning. Just now that he wouldn't have attended this party, he would have still attacked me. It's like it never runs out, Fan."
Fanny chuckles. "It could be him they are just business partners. And maybe it's because you're jealous of her, Niko lied to you so you won't get sick anymore."
"He admitted it, he was afraid I was jealous."
Just then Niko showed up. He approached Wulan, looked down and whispered, "Gloriana called me. I'll go for a second, okay?"
Wulan's expression changed. "Must now?"
"Yes," Niko kissed Wulan's forehead, "I won't be long."
Without waiting for Niko's answer to pass, leaving them behind.
Wulan. With a sick heart she stared at her husband disappearing in the crowd.
Fanny asked, "Why?"
"Meeting Gloriana."
"Now?!" surprise him, "Is your husband crazy?! It's too late and now it's gone again?"
Wulan. "He promised it wouldn't be long."
"Darius with him?" ask Fanny.
Just then Darius appeared. This made Fanny and Wulan look at each other.
Fanny asked, "Darling, aren't you coming with your boss?"
"No, Mr. Niko wants to go alone."
Wulan's heart was sliced. As soon as he faces Niko's attitude like this, his patience will eventually disappear.
Fanny looked at Wulan. Seeing his best friend's moody expression, he immediately offered to eat and drink.
Lately Wulan often consume chocolate pudding. That's why Fanny is grateful at the table they have provided milk pudding paired with vanilla sauce.
Wulan had to comply. He picked up a small container of chocolate pudding that Fanny had propped up in front of Darius. He doesn't want to cry now. So with a sick heart and teary eyes he started devouring the pudding.
Darius, who knew the reaction, remained silent and unmoved. It was his way of preventing his boss' wife from crying. It was impossible for Wulan to cry in front of him.
On the other hand Handoko saw Niko coming out of the main door. He quickly followed the man and prevented him.
"Where are you going?"
"Get out a minute, Pa."
"Where is Wulan?"
"Inside with Fanny."
Niko deliberately did not tell her the destination. Obviously Handoko would give her free boxing like that time.
"Did Wulan know?"
"Yes. I won't be long. I'm gonna take my wife, Pa."
Without waiting for Niko's approval to get into the car. While Handoko immediately went inside to meet Wulan. Since then, he has been eager to meet his favorite daughter-in-law.
"Dear Mulan" he said as soon as he saw the woman, "Papa misses you, son."
Darius stood up immediately. But Handoko forbids it.
"Sit, Darius. You don't go anywhere, pity Fanny yourself," Handoko looked at the woman, "You don't want to sit next to your boyfriend?"
Fanny's face flushed. He stood up and allowed Handoko to take his place on the left side of Wulan.
Wulan smiled and hugged Handoko. "Papa, I miss you too. Sorry, how many days I haven't seen Papa."
"No problem, honey. Papa understands, you and Niko are both busy."
Angelina appeared. "It's a lot here," he sat down to Wulan's right, "How are you, honey?"
"My news is good, Ma," Wulan stared all over, "Mama is more beautiful."
"You could have been. Mama thought you guys weren't coming. From earlier mama, papa Handoko and Fanny were waiting for you."
Wulan just smiled.
Angelina looking. "Where is my mother's daughter-in-law?"
"He's out for a while" replied Wulan.
Handoko. "Where is he?"
"Did you remember the investor I told you about the other day?"
Handoko remembered. "Gloriana?"
"Yes. He called Niko and they wanted to meet for a minute."
Darius was in his place. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Handoko who might be asking questions that could make Niko's plan fail.
Angelina repeated, "Gloriana? Can't Niko postpone her meeting tomorrow? Why would that woman ask people's husbands to meet these nights?"
Fanny did not comment.
Darius kept his head down, afraid of being interviewed.
Handoko's angry. In his heart he cursed Niko for lying to his favorite daughter-in-law. He promised not to help his own son if anything happened to Wulan.
Wulan. "Emergency, Mama. Anyway Niko won't be long, anyway."
Angelina didn't suspect anything. But, as a woman obviously she doesn't like Niko leaving Wulan and meeting other women.
They are currently attending a wedding. Niko should not combine business time and leisure time.
Just how much did that Gloriana invest her money in the Bebbi Group, to the point that Niko ignored all of them and met the woman?
The question almost came out of Angelina's mouth. However, the whereabouts of Handoko, Darius and Fanny kept him quiet. Had only been alone with Wulan, he had already raised questions and statements that might have provoked his daughter.
Angelina watches Wulan. "Darling, your cheeks are bigger. Your body is also slightly up. You pregnant?"
