A Mate is Never Wrong
Help Viona.

Niko gets into the car while contacting Fanny. When about to turn on the car engine and press radial to call the same number, Angelina's name suddenly appeared on the phone screen. Niko quickly responded and greeted him.

"Niko, Wulan's belongings have arrived at the house, but Wulan is not there. This driver is Fanny's online taxi subscription. He said Wulan was with Fanny and he had this driver bring his things here."

"I just got out of the airport, checked what happened. Fanny was the one who picked up Wulan, the problem is now that Fanny can't be contacted either."

"Geez, where did they go? Why don't they tell me?"

"Mama calm down, yeah. Most importantly Wulan has arrived safely in Jakarta. I'm sure they must be somewhere we don't want to know. Just let them be together, long time no see make them miss each other."

"When something happens to them how?"

"May not, Mama. Mama take it easy, I'll meet the people closest to Fanny, who knows she knows where they are."

"alright. Don't forget to tell Mama, Niko."

"Surely, Mama."

Niko disconnects the call then steps on the gas pedal deeper and deeper. As his car approached the red light, a call from Darius appeared on the phone screen.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir, Miss Wulan is at Bebbi Hospital. Viona was doused with hard water, Miss Wulan took her to the hospital."

"Wulan met Viona, how come?"

"When Miss Wulan's incident was there."

"Thank you Darius, I'll be there soon," Niko was about to end the call, but something came to her mind, "Where did you know she was going to the hospital?"

"Fanny told me, sir."

"Fanny told you? I've been calling Fanny since, but her phone's off."

"He's changed contacts, sir."

Niko smiled faintly. "Don't tell me you're in a relationship with him, Darius?"

The figure behind the phone chuckles. "I'm sorry, sir. I can explain later."

"That's normal, Darius. Thanks again for the information. I'll meet them."

"Ready, sir."

On the other hand Angelina told the servants to bring Wulan's belongings to the room. As he was about to climb up the stairs to the room, the doorbell rang twice. Angelina turned around and excited towards the front door.

"That must be Wulan."

Enthusiastically Angelina opened the front door with a widened smile. He was very happy, finally the only princess came home.

"Oh, honey, mom misses you so much."

Angelina opened the door and was surprised to see two well-dressed men standing in front of her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Angelina."

The smile and spirit on Angelina's face vanished. "Sore. I'm sorry, who are you?"

One of them showed me a card. "We are from the police. We're here to meet a woman named Ulan."

"He doesn't exist. What's up?"

"He was reported for dousing hard water on someone's face. The victim's injuries were quite severe. Now the victim's in the care at Bebbi Hospital."

Angelina surprised. "Can I know the name of the victim?"

"The victim's name is Viona."

"Viona," Angelina's mouth agape. He became worried and remembered to Wulan, "He is not home, sir. But I promise I'll call you when he gets home."

"Then we'll wait outside. Don't tell him about our arrival."

"You just calm down."

As soon as the cop left, Angelina immediately called Niko.

"Niko, where are you?"

"I'm on my way to the hospital. According to Wulan's information, she's in the hospital with Fanny."

"At the hospital?! What happened to them, Niko?!"

"Nothing happened to them, Mama. They're there for helping Viona."

Angelina surprised. "Just when the police came here, they were looking for Ulan. Their word Ulan was reported for dousing hard water on Viona's face. What Viona they mean is Viona's friend Ulan?"

"I don't know yet, Ma. Then where's Ulan?"

"Just let them take him, it's worth what he did, Mama."

"Mama thinks so too. Honestly you're happy if she's punished, Niko. What he and Jefry did to us is worth it."

"I've arrived at the hospital. I'll let you know Mama as soon as possible."

"alright. Take good care of Wulan, Niko. Bring him home safely."

"Mama take it easy."

***

After letting Viona rest in her room, Wulan only realized that it was dark outside the sky.

"What time is it now? Jesus, my mama must be worried," Wulan reached into the phone from her pants pocket to contact Angelina, "Geez, my phone is lowbat. Fan, can you call my mama, mama must be worried about me."

"You take it easy," Fanny smiled, "I've told Darius where we are. He will tell Niko and your future husband will tell the news to his future father-in-law."

Buk!

Wulan slapped Fanny's shoulder. "You're crazy, huh? He's not my future husband and will never be my husband."

"Who said?"

The heavy voice of the man near them shocked Fanny and Wulan. Fanny smiled, while Wulan was speechless. Her face flushed. Mixed feelings melodramas.

Niko approaches Wulan. He grabbed the woman's hands and held them.

Instead of being angry, Wulan was glad Niko stroked the back of her white hand with her big thumb.

Without saying anything more, Niko pulled Wulan's body and hugged her. "I miss you so much. I miss you so much."

Wulan sobbing. The long-buried longing now overflowed through crying.

Fanny who knows their story is also crying. He couldn't hold back the tears that fell.

"You're bad," led by Fanny, "You can make me cry."

Niko and Wulan looked at him without letting go of hugs.

Fanny pulled the nose fluid. "Don't that mean you're bad, because it made me cry?"

Wulan and Niko just smiled. They looked at each other and ignored Fanny.

"Much I want to explain to you" whispered Niko in front of Wulan's face. He lowered his head, bringing his lips closer to Wulan's, but Fanny yelled at him.

"You forgot there were people here?"

Wulan chuckled with a dead red face. He was embarrassed and realized that they were still standing in the hospital corridor.

"I know you can't stand Wulan's red lips, right?" ledek Fanny to Niko, "Hold on, this is the hospital. You can wait until you get home."

Niko. "Oh, yes, there's one thing I want to ask you."

"Don't switch the conversation, Niko."

Wulan chuckles. "Come, we'll talk outside."

Niko didn't let go of Wulan's hand. He walked while holding the woman's hand as if he did not want to release her again.

"I'm serious, Fan," said Niko, "there's one thing I want to ask you."

"What about?"

"Since when have you been in a relationship with Darius?"

Fanny fixated.

Wulan's surprised. "You're in a relationship with Darius?"

"Where do you know? Did Darius tell you? Basic, but he promised to keep our relationship a secret."

"You're not a child anymore, Fanny," Niko said.

"Right," Wulan added, "I'm glad you're in a relationship with him. But, why didn't you ever tell me?"

"Little story, Darius and I loved each other. Already, point."

Wulan laughing. While Niko shook her head, looking at Fanny's red face due to embarrassment. The woman ran out leaving them.

Niko chuckled and grabbed Wulan's body. He kissed the woman for so long.

"You must be hungry, right? Come on, I'll buy you dinner."
