A Mate is Never Wrong
Wrong Target.

"I wasn't happy at first that Dad had me. Now seeing Niko turned out to be so handsome made me agree," Ulan said, "According to Big Brother, do I match up with Niko?"

"You don't want to marry her, do you?"

"At first no, but after seeing her tonight ...."

"You better learn the character of the man before you marry him. I heard he's the greatest play boy in town" Wulan said. He stood up, approaching the dresser.

Ulan jerks. "Do you know where?"

"He's one of the priority clients. I've known about him for a long time, but I just found out he's papa's friend's son."

"What time, Brother? You must be lying, right?"

Wulan was happy to see the shocked expression on Ulan's face from the reflection of the mirror. He had managed to provoke his sister.

"If you don't believe me, ask the person directly. He's often changing women."

Upset at his brother's words, Ulan immediately stood up and moved from there.

"Where are you going?" ask Wulan.

"Speaking with papa. I want to know why you want me to marry Niko."

Wulan let Ulan go. As soon as the door of her room closed again, the smile on her beautiful face instantly widened.

"You think I'm gonna give Niko to you, huh? Not that easy."

Intrigued by the topic he discussed with Ulan, the woman intended to contact Niko. He felt there was something strange in his sister's match with a man who had become her boyfriend.

Wulan locked the room and contacted Niko.

"Hello, Honey?" niko from behind the phone.

"I missed you. That meeting wasn't enough."

Wulan was honest. Her jealousy towards Ulan made her want to be with Niko at this moment. Although it was only the age of corn, his love for the man was so great.

"Do I need to go to your house now?"

Wulan chuckles. "That's not necessary. We'll meet tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow. We're going to work together."

"Eh, no," Wulan said then sat down, "You don't have to pick me up tomorrow, I'll drive myself."

"Why?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

"Is this about Ulan?"

"Is it true that your papa betrothed you to Ulan?"

"That's him who wants to hang out with you tomorrow. Papa wants to see you too, papa wants to apologize to you."

Wulan's sadness disappeared. "I'm sorry ... Wh-wh-what for? I already knew there was a misunderstanding when Ulan said that if papa accused him of taking you to the hospital. The one who took you to the hospital was me, not him."

"My dad was on the wrong target, honey. Papa thought Jefry was unmarried after the death of his first wife. So, when I said I wanted to propose to you, papa went to your papa's office and immediately talked about our matchmaking. Without asking your whereabouts, papa immediately sentenced to match me with his son om Jefry, because the papa knows the son om Jefry only one, Ulan."

Happiness enveloped Wulan. "Honestly I'm so scared, Niko. I was so scared when Ulan said he wanted to marry you. She likes you. I don't think I'd be able to take you away from me."

"You don't worry, do you? I'll never marry anyone but you."

"Really?"

"Of course, honey."

"You know, papa's paying attention to our interaction when we talk. Not that I don't want to be honest, I don't think it's time yet. I'm grateful that I haven't told them that yet, papa discussed your marriage and Ulan to all of us as soon as you got home. Had I admitted it before the discussion began, there might have been a misunderstanding between your father and my papa. Not only them, Ulan will also definitely be mad at me."

"Concerning my marriage to Ulan?"

"Yes, papa wants you and Ulan to get married. Maybe because you don't know the truth."

"You better sleep now, yeah. You don't have to think about it, I'll never marry another woman but you."

Wulan. "I keep your promise."

After disconnecting the call Wulan rushed to the bathroom to perform the ritual before going to bed.

As he was about to climb up the bed suddenly his bedroom door was knocked. Wulan came down and opened the door.

"Mama," Wulan was surprised, "Mama hasn't slept?"

"Of course."

Wulan invited Angelina to sit on the long sofa. They both look similar to a thin brown nightgown.

"Wulan," Angelina began, "actually mama doesn't want to interfere, but ...," Angelina was silent, noticing Wulan's expression before finally saying, "Is there something you're hiding from mama?"

"Hide?" Wulan chuckled, "That's just Mama's feeling."

"Don't lie, honey. You think you didn't notice you, when papa talked about Niko and Ulan. You're jealous, right?"

"Jealous? This mom is just there. It's okay, Ma. I'm so tired today. I just want to rest."

Wulan tried not to tell her the truth. Despite knowing there was a misunderstanding between them, Wulan wanted Handoko to fix it. He didn't want a word he said to be mistaken for Angelina. So, he has to keep his relationship with Niko a secret until Handoko comes and explains the misunderstanding.

"Then go to sleep. Mama's gonna make you your favorite breakfast tomorrow."

Wulan did not answer. She hugged Angelina with guilt and happiness.

'Forgive me, Ma. I can't say it yet.'

***

As usual, the next day the members of the Tanujaya family gathered for breakfast.

Jefry with his distinctive expression sat at the head of the table. Angelina sat in the usual place, as well as Wulan. However, there is still one empty seat that is often occupied by Ulan.

'Where is the boy?' wulan said in his heart, 'Tumben clock like this he hasn't come down.'

The waiting finally appeared. "Good morning, everybody."

Wulan turned her head and wanted to reply, but fell silent in shock at Ulan's unusual appearance.

Not only Ulan, Angelina and Jefry were similarly shocked. Today Ulan is wearing thick makeup. Her lipstick color was even striking, making Angelina and Wulan want to laugh at her.

"Are you my son Ulan?" ask Jefry.

"Of course, Papa. How about ... pretty, right?"

"No, you're not Ulan my son. Now go to your room and remove that lipstick. Papa doesn't like to see it."

"Pa, this___"

"Don't argue, Ulan. Quickly go up and fast breakfast."

Ulan finally complied with his papa's request.

"What happened to him, why did he look like that?" ask Jefry.

Wulan was silent. While Angelina chuckles amusedly, imagining how incompatible Ulan's clothes are in blue with purple lipstick.

Ting!

Notification to enter Wulan's phone. Immediately he glanced at the message that turned out from my beloved.

'I'm in front.'

With a big smile Wulan finished her breakfast. "Pa, Ma, I'm leaving first."

"Be careful, dear," Angelina replied.

"You're not driving, son?" ask Jefry.

"No, Pa. My friend up front, he picked me up."

"Why don't you tell him to come in first and have breakfast. Maybe he hasn't had breakfast."

Wulan's surprised. 'Great, they mustn't know that it's Niko, ' Wulan quickly found a reasonable excuse, "This morning there's a big meeting at the head office, Pa. So, Fanny deliberately picked me up, so we could go together and not be late. Next time, Pa. I'll tell Fanny that Papa invited her to have breakfast together."

Jefry was silent as if agreeing, but he knew Wulan was lying. He waited for the girl to leave and looked at Angelina.

"Lately I've noticed Wulan getting picked up a lot. Do you know who comes to pick her up often?"

Angelina finished her breakfast. "Fannies. They've been going together a lot lately."

"Morning and night? Don't they get tired of seeing each other face to face in the office, then the night goes together."

"Let it go, his name's young."

"This can't be allowed, Angelina. You should find out about that. I don't want anything to happen to Wulan."
