"May God quickly take your name, Jefry!"
Without hesitation Niko decided on the call. His face was red with anger.
"Lord, help me .. help me get through this. I don't know how to. I love Wulan and my papa, I love them so much."
***
With a listless expression Wulan entered his contract. It's hard to contact Niko to make him excited. The days he spent felt so empty.
Wulan took off her bag and high heels. He takes a cell phone and looks at his photos with Niko. All the memories with the man made his tears drip.
"What mistake did I make until you forgot me so quickly, huh? I love you so much, I love you so much, Niko."
Wulan lay down and cried. Everything he had ever done with Niko came to mind. The last thing they did made him sick.
"Why you___"
Drtts... Drtts...
The mobile vibration stopped Wulan's words. He nodded, looking at the name on the phone screen.
"Mama" he said, wiping away the tears. Wulan cleared her throat to stabilize the voice then greeted, "Hello, Mama?"
"Honey, where are you?"
"I just got home from work. What's up, Ma?"
Angelina's question made Wulan suspicious. The intonation that was thrown out even sounded anxious.
"The marriage of Ulan and Niko is soon, are you sure you won't be fighting for your relationship?"
Wulan was almost crying. "No, Mama. Maybe me and Niko weren't a match."
"This is no coincidence, honey. They're trapping Niko. If he knew the truth, maybe this marriage wouldn't have happened."
"If all of this were without intervention, he would definitely fight for me no matter what. It's not at all."
"Mama is sure, one day everything will be revealed. Mama sure."
"I don't want to think about that anymore, Ma. I'm tired, I want to rest."
"alright. Take care of your health, honey."
"definitely. Mama too."
After disconnecting the call Wulan stared at the screen of his phone, the screen filled with photos of him with Niko.
"Until any time I will love you. I'll wait for you, Niko."
The phone screen suddenly changed. Unknown numbers are displayed there. With furrowed brows Wulan connected the call.
"Hello?"
"Good afternoon, my daughter. Is your dad bothering you?"
Wulan is very familiar with the sounds behind the phone. With a wide smile and a pitiful expression he greeted, "Papa ... Papa Handoko how are you?"
"My news is bad, honey. Without you here it would be hell. I miss you so much, son."
Wulan's eyes glazed over. "Me too, I miss Papa so much."
"You know, son. Papa hopes we can be together and do the fun like before."
Wulan's expression was sad. "That can't happen Papa, soon Papa will have a son-in-law."
"That's not true, honey. Papa just wants a daughter-in-law like you, like a pretty girl named Wulan Irawan, not Wulan Tanujaya."
Wulan's surprised. "Well, do you know my last name?"
"Of course papa knows. Papa knows your real papa very well, son. Papa can be a witness, that your father was a very good and wise man."
Wulan crying.
"Dear, don't cry. Papa apologized for reminding you of him."
Wulan pulled the liquid on her nose. "I did not cry because of that Papa, if he were still alive, he would be happy to have a besan like Papa. He would have agreed I got in-laws like Papa."
"Papa will always be your father, son. Until whenever Handoko Lais will always consider you papa's daughter."
Wulan was moved to hear Handoko's words. However, considering Niko's attitude of not wanting to fight for their relationship made her sad.
"Thank you, Papa. Soon Papa will have a son-in-law, meaning Papa will have two daughters at once."
"Wulan, do you believe me?"
"Of course, I have no reason not to trust Papa."
"Really?"
"Yes, Papa."
Wulan's eyes glazed over.
"Believe it or not, he only loved Wulan Irawan, not Wulan Tanujaya."
"I believe in that, Papa. It's just that I was a little disappointed in him, he didn't fight for our relationship at all."
"That's not true, dear ... Niko is not not fighting for your relationship, there is something that makes Niko have to make that decision. In the current position, that decision is correct."
Wulan seemed to think.
"Trust me, God is always with the righteous and patient. God gave you this test not by chance. God brought you to this stage because there is something God wants to say."
His stepfather's face suddenly flashed in Wulan's mind. "Does Papa know that any of this has something to do with Papa Jefry?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Since the beginning of Niko coming home, Papa Jefry has shown his disapproval before me. He doesn't want me to be in a relationship with Niko. Yesterday Fanny they talked Ulan and Viona in a cafe. Their topic about the trap for Niko and the twenty billion dollars that papa Jefry gave to Viona."
"really? Is that tape on you?"
"There, I'll send it to Papa after this."
"Thank God you know the truth, baby. Honestly, I am very careful with this matter. Papa offended you and your mama, but anyway Jefry is a part of you."
"Maybe it was then, not anymore. I think my mom would agree too."
"Did your mama know about the tape?"
"Fanny gave it to mom, but she couldn't do much. Mama wanted to find out first why her husband could do this. Maybe if you knew the truth, you'd divorce her."
"Papa will help your mama, son. Trust me, papa will give you and your mama justice."
Wulan's eyebrows wrinkled. "Justice?"
"You'll find out later. Now get some rest, papa will find a way to meet you."
Wulan smiled haru. "Thank you, Papa."
"Together, Honey. And remember ... Niko loves you so much, she loves you now and forever."
Wulan shed tears as her call was interrupted. The tightness in his heart seemed to decrease after hearing Handoko's voice.
His phone vibrated again. Fanny's name is on display there.
"Hello?" greet Wulan while pulling out the nasal fluid and wipe away her tears.
"Where are you, you okay?"
Wulan lay down, facing the ceiling of the room. "I'm doing fine. I'm just tired, I have a lot of work. Lack of vitamin intake got me the flu,"he lied.
"Well, by the way, I have bad news for you."
"What's that?"
"The head has not been in the office for many days. According to them he is being treated in the hospital, his condition is now in a coma."
Wulan's surprised. He sat. "Koma, why?"
"I also only realized after one of the employees discussed the state of the head pack. He said the chief went to the hospital the day after you left. According to information I heard he was in a car accident after coming home from work. I don't believe that, anyway."
"The day after I left?"
"Yes, and I just realized the presence of the chief yesterday. I was so busy I didn't care about his presence. He hardly ever communicated with me. So how do I know he hasn't been in the office since that day."
"Why don't you believe it?" wulan's brows furrowed.
"It doesn't make any sense, in my opinion. I think someone hurt him."
"Whatchu mean? Accident nobody knows, Fanny. Maybe that day God has destined the head for an accident. The proof is me, who would have thought Niko would turn to me for my own sister."
Fanny sniffing. "So I went to see him. I think he's been removed by your sister, he kicked me out, Wulan. Niko won't even talk to me. You know what he said, he said, 'If your purpose here is something to do with Wulan, you better just go back, I'm busy, no time to serve you,' Hasn't he gone crazy?"
"For what you have found him. I didn't tell you, did I?"
"I just wanted to show him the tape. Instead of listening to me, he kicked me out."
Wulan took a deep breath. "Just when her dad calls me, he'll help me deal with this. I have to send him the tape. Oh, Fanny, I really can't believe this is gonna happen. I still can't believe my dad is the director behind this."
"I think there's something we don't know. You should find him, Wulan."
"of course. Then I disconnect your call, I'll send the tape to Niko's father," Wulan sniffed, "I wish there was a miracle for me, Fanny."
"You're still expecting Niko, huh?"
Wulan clucking. "Trust me or not, his father said he loved me very much. He loves me now and forever."
