As soon as the door handle opened Jefry stared with a smile. He saw Niko coming in with a dead red face. The man looks very emotional.
"Welcome, my son-in-law."
Niko didn't budge and came closer. He pulled and gripped Jefry's shirt so firmly. "Say, where did you hide my papa?"
Jeffrey was surprised, but not afraid. He chuckled with an arrogant expression. "You're challenging me? You forget who I am, I can send you to jail if I want."
Niko wasn't intimidated. He tightened up the Jefry shirt until the books in his hand turned white.
"Of course I don't forget" he said with emphasis, "You're Jefry Tanujaya, you're the one who killed Benny Irawan."
Jefry's face turned pale. Had it not been Handoko the person he ordered to do so, perhaps he could still have defended himself.
Jefry regretted having told Handoko that. Had he known Handoko would have told Niko that, he wouldn't have told her why he got rid of Benny.
"Why silence?" snappy Niko, "Where are you hiding my papa, huh?!"
"I'll say it, just get your hands off my shirt."
Niko throws Jefry's body back. "Just tell me, where's my papa?"
Jefry didn't speak right away. He tidied up his shirt and sat down in a chair.
Niko was astonished by his attitude. 'Is this human being no fear, huh? Why can you be friends with a human like this.'
"I'll tell you where your papa is, but there's one condition."
Niko's angry. "Condition? If I don't want to, how?"
"I won't tell."
"What about Benny Irawan, huh? What if Wulan and Angelina find out that the one who killed the most curious is you."
Jefry. "You think they'll believe it, huh? What do you have evidence of that? Even Handoko doesn't have any hard evidence against me."
Niko fell silent. Jefry was right, he had no evidence to reveal that truth.
"How, do you want to comply with the conditions I ask for? I don't bother you, I just want you to marry Ulan."
Niko clenched her hands. "You deliberately don't want me to marry Wulan, so that your property is not taken? If I marry Wulan, obviously all your property will be taken over by Wulan and you will get nothing."
"You're right. That's why I won't let you marry Wulan."
Niko wants to fight back, but she has no hard evidence to accuse Jefry. Now the most important thing is Handoko. Handoko is all he has now. Niko plans to tell the police to reopen the case of Benny Irawan's death. Niko will seek the truth and only Handoko can testify in front of everyone when the case goes to court.
Niko. "I'll accept your terms, but give me back my papa."
"You're serious?"
"I don't have to answer it."
"Alright," Jefry stood up, "Tomorrow morning your father will return. Once your papa comes back, we'll have to talk about your marriage to Ulan. I don't want to wait anymore, I want you and Ulan to get married."
"good. I'll wait for tomorrow morning."
After saying that Niko turned around and walked out. Niko had no choice but to agree to the request. Handoko is the most important to him than the others.
If Handoko can testify before the court, Angelina and Wulan will definitely drag Jefry to prison. Although her father is also involved and risks going to jail, at least Niko can give justice to Wulan and Angelina.

With a sad expression Niko sat in her study. After meeting Jefry Niko, she calms herself down at the office. The problem he had at this moment really made him uninspired.
Thinking of that made Niko remember Wulan. He grabbed the phone then looked at the photo of Wulan displayed on the phone screen. The memories they made before parting went through his mind.
"You want me so much, why are you avoiding me now, what's my fault?"
Remembering the photo of Wulan with Deril that night was not ready to upload emotions in Niko turbulent. He opened the Wulan contact and sent a message.
"Who was the guy who had dinner with you the other day? Looks like you guys were so close that you forgot to tell me. Or he's already managed to steal your heart to the point that you ignore me."
After writing the phrase on the keyboard, Niko read again before finally pressing the send button. He didn't expect Wulan to explain who the man was. Admitting the mistake of ignoring him for just how many days was enough to calm Niko down.
Unfortunately, Niko hopes that Wulan will apologize and explain his mistake wrongly.
"He's my boss. His name is Deril Hermanto. You also seem to be very busy these few days. So, I better not bother you first."
Niko is hurt. With overflowing emotions he replied to Wulan's message.
"Oh, am I busy or are you? I called you, but your phone's off. Don't have to reason. From now on if you really want to be alone with your boss please, I won't forbid."
Niko pressed the send button then clucked her tongue. "He blames me? You selfish woman! His number is off and now he blames me. You little lady."
Ting!
The sound of the notification surprised Niko. He quickly opened the message and read it.
"thank you. I hope you can get better than me. I'm sure there must be a lot of women out there who are better than me."
Niko. He did not expect Wulan to retaliate like that. Did he really not want Niko? He did not even admit his mistake. Niko presses the radial to speak directly to Wulan, but the woman rejects her call.
An angry and trembling expression Niko replied to Wulan's message, "I've found her. You don't have to pray for me. I won't bother you anymore either."
After sending the message Niko threw away her phone.
At the same time Darius entered and was surprised to see Niko throwing the object nearby.
Geck! Geck!
The sound of knocking on the door made Niko surprised. With a limp voice he told the figure behind the door to enter.
"Are you okay, sir?"
Niko controlled her emotions. "I'm fine, Darius. Don't worry."
Darius believes Niko's attitude must be because of Handoko. Not wanting his boss to worry, Darius intended to tell the truth as Niko stood up from the seat.
"How are they doing?"
Niko's question spontaneously made Darius speechless. He swallowed back the words that were almost thrown out of his mouth.
"Magdalena is still frustrated. He's afraid something's happened to you and Mr. Handoko."
Niko looked at Darius. "Jefry. Jefry Tanujaya ordered people to kidnap papa. But you don't have to worry, he promised you tomorrow he'd give you back to me."
Darius is a little bit loose. "What about Miss Wulan, has there been any news from her?"
Niko went out. "From now on I'm no longer his girlfriend."
"But, Mr___"
"Don't talk about him anymore, I don't want to hear his name."
