A Mate is Never Wrong
Your Stepfather wants you dead.

"I believe that. Maybe there's something that makes Niko have to do that."

"Yes .. om Handoko also said that to me. I remember what my mom told me the other day."

"What about?"

"Ulan's mother wanted him to marry Niko. I think it must be because it's Papa Jefry who wants to separate me and Niko."

"No Wulan, I'm sure it's not because of that, there must be something more to it than that. Otherwise, he might have wanted to harm you on the plane the other day. Your stepfather wants you dead on that plane."

Wulan's surprised.

"I don't really want to say this, but I don't know when to keep this a secret anymore."

Wulan tense. "Tell me Fanny, what I don't know."

"How many days before you left, I heard a head-pack talk on the phone with someone. I don't know who that person is, which obviously he directs the head pack to schedule your flight at night. However, after knowing this matter, I guess the person behind the telepo the other day was your stepfather."

Wulan remembered something. "You remember the discovery of the body on that plane?"

"Very remember, and the schedule is exactly what your flight schedule is."

"My schedule's down, Fanny. I leave at nine o'clock, not eight. Surprisingly, the headman told me my schedule at eight in the evening, in fact, the ticket was listed at nine. Did the chief deliberately lie to my papa, so that nothing would happen to me?"

"No, Wulan. It wasn't the chief who did that, Niko who did that."

"Ni-Niko?" Wulan's surprised.

"You remember the time we had our farewell at the office?"

"Yes and you disappeared with your girlfriend, right?"

"I didn't disappear with my girlfriend, Wulan."

"You lying?"

"Yes and I'm sorry. That day I heard a head-pack with the guy. Not wanting you to panic, I called Niko and asked her to meet. I told the headmaster's plan to him. Niko was the one who traded your ticket, not the chief. Niko changed your flight schedule, nobody."

"Wait, wait," Wulan got the idea, "Don't the head pack situation have anything to do with this incident? Didn't you say the chief didn't come into the office the day after I left?"

"I think so, too, maybe your father was disappointed that the desire to eliminate you did not materialize."

Wulan shock. "If you hadn't told Niko about it, that day ...," Wulan cried, "Why is my stepfather so evil? Why would he want to get rid of me that way? If he really wants Niko to marry his daughter, then he just has to tell me directly."

"Maybe there's something you don't know, Wulan. On second thought, I think Niko deliberately agreed to the marriage to save you. As long as you're still in a relationship with her your life is not safe and Niko wants you to stay safe."

Wulan remembered Handoko's words. "You're right, Handoko said the same thing to me. He said they would give justice to me and my mother. Honestly, I am still curious about those words. Justice, justice what does Handoko mean?"

"Let's call Niko and ask her. Who knew you could persuade him and make him confess."

Wulan stood up, pacing around restlessly in front of the bed. "Free, Fanny, I think she's blocked my contact, I can't reach her."

"Patience, Wulan. I hope that something your stepfather has kept secret will be revealed before their wedding day. I don't agree that Niko would marry a woman like Ulan. Even though I don't know Niko very closely, I don't agree that they're married. I swear, your sister's attitude that night made you anxious. Had it not been your stepbrother, I would have ruffled his hair and face."

"That's it," Wulan smiled, "Thank you for that, but you better not dirty your own hands. Let them play their characters. After all, if they had malicious intentions, one day it would definitely be exposed."

"You're right. Now that it's dark, I have to get ready first, I have an appointment with my assistant to see the chief in the hospital."

"Tell me the progress."

"Of course."

With a frustrated face Niko entered her house. Darius opened the door and followed behind Niko.

"You've come home" Handoko said as soon as she saw her son who was still wearing a dark suit. Right now they're in the living room, "Tumben you came home late."

It's ten o'clock by now. Niko looked weak and overwhelmed. While taking off the suit he sat in front of Handoko.

"You sure you can get through your days after getting married to Ulan? Papa's not sure you can get through this, Niko."

Niko leaned her head against the back of the sofa then massaged her forehead slowly. Closing his eyes he replied to his father's words, "For Papa and Wulan's safety I must be able to get through."

Handoko surprised. "Did Jefry threaten you again?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What did he say?"

"While what? What did you do until he complained to you?"

"Kissing words. Ulan's mad I didn't kiss him in front of the office."

"Sickness of soul .. child and parent are both mentally ill."

Niko looked at Brian. "Please make me a cup of coffee."

"You haven't had dinner yet, you'd better eat before you have coffee."

"I'm not hungry, Pa."

After saying that Niko waved to Brian to do her job.

Handoko looked at Niko. His gaze was so deep and unusual. "Papa hope you won't be angry after hearing this."

Niko did not answer, she looked at Handoko while leaning her back against the sofa.

"So papa called Wulan," Handoko was silent for a moment to see Niko's reaction. Unopposed by the child, Handoko continued, "We have to help her, she has the voice recording of Ulan and Viona. The footage contains Jefry's plan to pay Viona twenty billion to set you up."

Niko surprised. "Caught me?"

Handoko picks up the phone then plays the voice recording Wulan sent her.

'What about your brother? We haven't been working on our plan, Ulan. Don't you want your sister to decide on Niko?

I admit you're really lucky, Viona. You don't have to work hard to get those twenty billion.

Niko seemed frightened and Niko had already agreed to marry me. Tomorrow my papa will talk to him and Handoko.

That fast, haven't we done anything yet? Is it because of the photo you sent back?

Not that, Viona. The photo problem I told Mr. Wulan. You know, my brother was really stupid, he believed what I said.

What'd you say?

I told him about yourself. I told you and Niko still love each other. Not wanting Niko to betray her, I hugged Niko and begged her not to leave.

Then he believed?

It seems like yes, because when I said Niko refused and said she still loves you, her voice was not heard anymore. Maybe she was crying there.

Viona and Ulan.

Is it possible that she decided on Niko, until the man changed his mind and married you?

My father gave Niko two options, married me or her father died.

My father has told people to kidnap Handoko. Niko gets angry and comes to my papa, she makes a calculation with papa and finally wants to marry me. He seems to love his father more than my brother.

I wanted to tease Niko just once.

Does he want to?

I'm not sure, but with a drink I can take her to bed. I think you should let me do that. That way, the impression in your brother Niko's eyes is of a jerk. So, even if you marry her, your sister won't feel remorse or guilt. Even she felt lucky not to be married to Niko.

Where are we going? I don't want to go home yet, I want to have fun until morning.

A lot of money. Uh, by the way, what's the twenty billion dollars my papa gave you?

I deposit fifteen billion, the rest I use for fun. I plan to leave the country next month. You wanna come with?

I want to, but I'll be married soon. My father will not let me go anywhere.

If you're married, will you work again? I'm surprised, your parents are rich, but why are you still working?

I want to keep myself busy. But after marriage I don't want to work anymore, papa and Niko's income is enough to finance my life.'

Niko was very angry. His face immediately turned red. He also stood up without saying goodbye.

"Darius, come on."

Handoko surprised. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Viona, I'm going to kill her."
