A Mate is Never Wrong
A Different Mood.

How shocked Wulan was by Niko's words. He wanted to protest, but the man came out and opened the door for him.

Wulan ignores her sense of protest and walks with Niko.

'Niko wants to strip me?' he said in his heart. His eyes were round, 'It was fortunate that the scene had only been in the car. At home, she would have completely stripped me. No, that can't be. Niko can't do that before marrying me.'

The constantly disturbed mind made Wulan unconscious, that Magdalena and Brian were welcoming them. He did not even hear Niko's words when the man asked Handoko.

"The big master is in the backyard. He's burning fish for dinner."

That's when Willah woke up. "Your father cooked by himself?"

"Papa said, that's a special menu for his future son-in-law."

They walked to the back garden, followed by Brian and Magdalena.

As soon as he saw Niko and Wulan, Handoko immediately greeted them with a happy smile.

"Welcome my children. Come here, papa is cooking for you."

Wulan was lulled to approach him. "Om don't have to do this. Look, Om's body is surrounded by smoke."

"Omm?" handoko protested, "Why are you calling me om, son? Call me papa."

Niko held back a laugh, while Wulan was instantly red from the embarrassment of her melancholy. He remembered Niko's name to his mother. He looked at Handoko with a big smile and replied, "Well, Papa. Here, let me help you."

"No, Son. Let me do it. You accompany Niko. The fish are soon ripe. Sit there."

"I want to be with you, Papa. I'm tired of looking at Niko. Now I want to look at Papa as much as possible."

Handoko surprised. "Hey, Niko! Did you hear what he said?"

Wulan deliberately teased them.

"I didn't hear it!" yelled Niko who was sitting in her chair. He deliberately did not join because the desire that was still stirring in him since then did not go out. Adjacent to Wulan actually makes his body hotter.

"He's tired of looking at you, he wants to look at me to the satisfaction."

Handoko knew Wulan was just joking. So, he also joked, making the atmosphere tonight even warmer. He did not want to create distance between them. Therefore he always makes the atmosphere warm, so that Niko and Wulan are always comfortable every time with him.

After Handoko's grilled fish cooks, he and Wulan join Niko.

"Why are you sitting here, why don't you join?" handoko asked Niko.

Wulan also just realized. He felt a little annoyed because Niko ignored him.

"I was communicating with Darius. I just wanted to join, but Papa's done."

Wulan's frustration was slightly reduced. Despite talking to Handoko a little distance away from Niko, he occasionally glanced at the man and was caught talking over the phone.

"Come, eat, you must be hungry" Handoko said. The man sat at the head of the table, "Wulan, this is special for you. Papa deliberately chose the biggest one because Niko once said, if you really like grilled fish."

On the table there are already various grilled fish menu. Not only fish, chicken and vegetables are also available there.

Magdalene appeared with a tray containing their favorite drink.

Handoko takes the vegetable and puts it on Wulan and Niko's plate before putting it on her own.

Wulan. He looked at the two men in turn. "Thank you very much, Papa. This fish is too big, I can't spend it."

"You must be able to spend it," led by Niko, "papa's homemade fish is delicious. Just try it first, you'll definitely ask again."

Wulan was happy. The warm atmosphere tonight makes him miss the father who is gone. Handoko's attitude tonight really makes him miss Benny.

Wulan thought the atmosphere would not happen again after the father died. However, at this time Handoko managed to create an atmosphere that was exactly the same as the atmosphere of that time.

The water cannot be held back either. The crystal thread managed to escape wetting his cheeks without their knowledge. The reflection of the candle on the table did not make Niko and Handoko know that Wulan was crying.

"How do you do, son?" handoko asked without looking at Wulan, "If you're married to Niko, you don't have to work anymore, do you? You're pretty at home, take care of Niko and my grandkids."

Wulan chuckles. "Papa's just been around."

They talk while eating.

Niko won't lose. "Papa's right, honey. You can't work again after we're married."

Wulan felt sad when she remembered that tomorrow was her last day in this city. He was more and more confused to tell them in what way.

He smiled and kept chewing. Handoko's grilled fish is very tasty, but the delicious taste is not able to disorient his heart that is upset.

Seeing Wulan's unusual expression, Niko slightly furrowed her brows in curiosity. As a girlfriend she could guess the happy and not expression of a Wulan.

'Did Wulan know about the wedding?' he said in his heart, 'Doesn't his mother have told him the truth?'

Intrigued by the contents of his head Niko fed Wulan, so that the meal was finished quickly.

Handoko who did not want to lose also several times gave pieces of vegetables to the Wulan plate. Although it looks cute, Handoko can guess that Wulan's mood is chaotic. He also took the initiative to do that, so that Wulan was a little entertained. He even told them about his funny experiences and made them laugh.

That made Wulan's mood slightly better. He is happy with Niko and Handoko. Although Jefry was nice to him, but he never felt this way when he was with Jefry.

After the dinner session was over, Magdalena and some of the maids straightened out the table.

Handoko, Niko and Wulan move to a corner of the park that has been provided for them to relax.

"Kids, wait a minute, papa go inside first."

As a result of consuming a lot of Chili stomach Handoko feels heartburn.

Niko took a chance. He grabbed Wulan's hand and held it.

"What are you thinking? You've been looking nervous."

Wulan can't lie. "There's something I want to tell you."

"What about?"

"Soal ...," Wulan stopped her saying, "I____"

"Wait, don't go on" Niko said. He was sure that Wulan would explain the same topic as Angelina had told him. So, he deliberately held back the remark and took out a blue box from inside his pants, "Before proceeding, I'll give you something."

Wulan looked at Niko's activities. He took the man's hand with a curious expression.

"What is that, honey?"

The box was small, so Wulan could not guess, because Niko's big hand managed to wrap the box.

"Look, what is this?" ledek Niko's. He placed his hand in front of Wulan.

Wulan took a look at the reproach in Niko's hand to peek at his grasp. However, the lighting that the drink makes it difficult to guess.

"I don't know. What is this, honey? Don't make me curious. Is this the surprise you mean?"
