A Mate is Never Wrong
From Darius.

Wulan was shocked to hear Viona's name. He glanced at Deril, but said nothing.

'Viona ... the name is like a stranger, ' Wulan said in her heart, 'Oh yes, it is the name of her ex Niko.'

Wulan didn't care about that. He considers Viona who is known to Deril is a Viona that is different from Niko's Viona in the past.

"There is no live broadcast here" he said, checking again.

Deril surprised. "She, Wulan. Check it out on the video."

"Oh, but nothing. Here's just an old video, the video you mean doesn't exist."

Unbelieving, Deril asks for his phone and checks back. "True, the video doesn't exist. Yesterday before diving I saw the video still there."

"Maybe he's already deleted it."

"It could be," Deril put his phone back in front of the indicator.

"It could be that he deleted it for fear that you misunderstood."

Deril chuckles. "That's impossible, the proof is that he dared to do a live broadcast."

"You're funny, you keep each other feeling, but you're both closed to each other. I don't think you just like her, but you're in love with her."

"I told you, didn't .. I don't love her, I just want to make her better."

"If she's in love with you, what? The proof is that he wants to change for you, right?"

"He hasn't changed, he's still the same as he used to be."

Wulan looked at the disappointment from Deril's expression. He smiled and said, "Try on tonight to meet and talk. Ask her for an explanation and ask her for certainty. He must have had a reason to do that."

"That's impossible, Wulan."

"No way, how? It could be that he did that because it needs validation from you. Remember, Deril ... no matter how close you are to a woman, no matter how much you care for a woman, as long as there is no validation from you she will be unemployed you have no serious relationship. What women want in unclear relationships is recognition not dependence."

"Maybe you're right. I'll call him later tonight and talk."

Wulan chuckles. "You're nervous, huh? Why not bring him face-to-face, let it be clearer? That way he'll judge, that you're a serious person."

"That's impossible, Wulan," Deril laughed, "he's not here, he's in Jakarta."

Wulan laughed too. "Geez, I think he's here. Then you must try hard to get it."

Deril's car finally arrives in front of Wulan's contract.

"We're up."

Wulan came down and took the luggage.

Deril also went down and helped Wulan put in other luggage.

"Thank you, yes," said Wulan. He smiled as if to encourage Deril, "Later tonight call him and ask for an explanation."

Deril returned his smile. "I hope after this you won't refuse to take me along."

Wulan. "As long as it doesn't affect your relationship with Viona, it doesn't matter."

"Of course not. Even if it's influential, it's not my destiny."

"You have to tell him about myself, my picture on your Instagram account is pretty much, he's afraid he's misunderstood and the prestige to ask."

Deril nodded. "Thank you for the advice."

Deril was glad Wulan wasn't being formal to him anymore. He feels relaxed and more comfortable with the condition of their friendship now. He feels more self-sufficient and more confident. Hope this friendship can continue forever.

Unlike Deril, Wulan feels as if he is free from a play boy. If not to be relaxed maybe he will never know, if Deril harbors feelings for other women. And Wulan was grateful to have no sense of him.

Drtts... Drtts...

The vibration of the cell phone surprised them. That portable thing came from Deril's pocket. While looking at Wulan the man reached into his pocket and then saw the name of the caller.

"Hello?"

"Papa is conscious. Papa asked you to come, there's something you want to tell you."

Deril looks irritated. "I'll make it hard."

Without waiting for a reply Deril decided on the call then looked at Wulan who was still standing in front of him.

"My sister. He sent me to Jakarta to visit my papa. I said I'll work on it."

Wulan could guess that Deril and his family's relationship wasn't okay through his suddenly changed expression. However, Wulan's fad appeared instantly and made Deril smile again.

Deril. "It was just a coincidence."

"That's how God brought you together, Deril. Come on, find some free time and meet your papa. Also meet Viona and tell her how you feel directly. If you need to bring him here, let your goal of making him better be realized."

Deril is really moved. He didn't want to say goodbye for long. "If there's anything or need anything just call me."

Wulan simply smiled and nodded in response. The smile continued to persist until Deril's car disappeared from his sight.

Drtts... Drtts...

Wulan's phone shook as she was about to enter. While carrying Wulan grabbing the phone and greeting the figure who made the call through the video.

"Hey, tumben you video call."

Fanny's face was clear. "Where are you? I want to see the beach."

Wulan laughed while putting things into the room. "You're late, I just got on the contract. We can't linger, we have our own responsibilities for tomorrow."

Fanny's disappointed. "I should have called you yesterday. Oh my gosh, I totally forgot."

Feeling very tired, Wulan sat on the sofa while talking, "I regret having taken the day off."

"I'm sorry why?"

"If I knew Ulan and Niko were going to get married this soon, I would like to take a leave of absence and take a vacation to some of the islands in Bunaken. I want to seclude myself there during their reception."

"By the way about them, I have some shocking news for you."

"What's that?"

"You remember Viona, Niko's ex and your sister's friend?"

"Yes, why her?"

"Lusa yesterday Niko came to him at the nightclub. Niko hurt him and humiliated him. On the grounds that Niko didn't accept him and Ulan hurt you."

Wulan chuckles. "Maybe Niko heard the voice note I sent to Handoko."

"You sent him the tape?"

"Yes, and I think Handoko told Niko."

"That's better, let Niko know who they really are."

"Where did you get the information about that?"

"Darius, Niko's driver."

"Why did he tell you that?" Wulan was surprised to find that Fanny wanted to be driven home by Darius, "Don't tell me you and Darius ...."

Fanny. "If so, why?"

Wulan was again surprised. "Since when?"

"When Darius drove me the other day, we exchanged contacts and met. That's where Darius declares his love for me."

"So fast?" Wulan looked up, "I can't believe it, you must be lying."

"I'm not lying. Anyway what's in it I lied to you."

"Geez, I didn't expect you guys ...."

Fanny laughed. "Rather than we discuss Darius, we better talk about Viona."

"Don't switch the conversation, Fanny."

"I'm not turning the conversation around, but what I'm trying to say is a lot more exciting than information about my relationship with Darius."

Wulan. "You're just there. I swear, I still can't believe you're in a relationship with my ex-boyfriend."

"I don't care. Listen, you gotta hear it."

Wulan held back a laugh.

"You know, Darius said that night Niko not only grabbed Viona's hair, she doused Viona's body with a drink and had Viona live-stream the scene on her personal instagram account."

Wulan's expression changed.

"Not only that, Niko took off the club's official dress and told Viona to serve him. Geez, what a shame."
