Wulan smiled dearly.
"I hope you won't refuse, tonight I'd like to take you to dinner. From today onwards I will do it, I will take you wherever you want."
Wulan laughing. "Your goal isn't to return the favor, is it?"
"No, that's how I recognize you. Don't I have to understand you before I become my wife?"
Wulan chuckles. "You're running late, Niko. I'm going in first."
"Can I have your phone call?"
"Of course," Wulan mentioned her contact.
"thank you. I'll pick you up here tonight."
The smile on Wulan's face quite represented the answer.
It made Niko's heart flutter.
"I'll go home first. See you later."
"Tell me when you arrive" replied Wulan.
Niko nodded and waved her hand.
Wulan waved back and waited until the car was gone and he went inside.
In the car, Niko looked at Brian with a big smile.
"What do you think, Brian?"
"You're a perfect fit for Miss Wulan, sir. Beautiful and handsome. Classy and educated."
"He's very smart, Brian. I like her more and more. He didn't even mind, when I mentioned the proposal."
Niko daydreams.
"I can't wait to stay on the roof with him. Women like Wulan are worth fighting for."

Since Wulan was present in their midst, Niko and Handoko's relationship grew closer. Niko is looking for Handoko to talk about Wulan.
As a father who had a fault in his son, Handoko was happy about the change in attitude that happened to his son.
"Papa's been talking to Jefry. He'll talk to Wulan" Handoko began.
The father and son are currently sitting opposite each other. The afternoon sun made them choose the back garden as a place of conversation.
"I just met her," Niko replied, "She accompanied me to the hospital, had lunch together, and then I drove her home."
Handoko surprised. "Isn't he out of town?"
"He had returned and his return was sudden. I saw him near the airport as he waited for a taxi. I approached her, offered to drive her. I also mentioned the proposal and she agreed to marry an unknown man, as long as the man believed in her. I hope Papa proposes to her for me soon."
Handoko shook her head. He is happy that Niko wants to get married, but he is also a little hesitant about the sudden decision taken by his son.
"Are you sure you want to marry her? You don't know each other, Niko."
"I'm sure, Pa. She's a woman of principle, just like me. Our principle is the same."
"Papa's not sure."
Niko's eyebrows are wrinkled. "Why?"
"You said so out of curiosity to her, not out of love or affection. Men if curious, whatever it is he'll do until he gets the woman."
"I swear, Pa. I liked Wulan not out of curiosity, her sincerity that made me fall for her. Many of the women I knew were more beautiful and attractive than her, but the sincerity I sought was only with Wulan. Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Handoko knew Niko would say so. However, what makes him doubt Niko's feelings will change, if the man finds out that Wulan's father is a criminal.
Handoko doesn't know what the problem is between Jefry and Benny. Jefry's actions that made Benny leave were evil. He does not like crime and he is sure Niko will be angry if he finds out that the person who told him was Jefry.
But the most important thing now was the happiness of his son. As long as the secret doesn't reach Niko's ears, she's sure everything will be fine.
"I'm waiting for her certainty."
Handoko smiled.
Niko stand. "It's afternoon. I get ready first, tonight I will take Wulan to eat together. See you later."

The atmosphere in Tanujaya's residential house was so warm. Seeing the figure of Wulan who was already beautiful with her natural makeup made Angelina smile widely.
He had wanted Wulan married for a long time. However, past disappointments made Wulan often delay and more selective in that regard.
Now, hearing her daughter about to have dinner with an unidentified man makes Angelina happy.
"When are you going to introduce him to mommy, son?"
"Let's wait, he'll come here to propose to me."
Angelina surprised. "You're serious, Wulan?"
"Isn't this what Mama wants?"
Angelina widened her smile.
"Hide this from papa and Ulan, I don't want them to know right now."
"Why?"
"It's not yet time, Ma. I want them to know right when he came to propose to me. Most importantly, you know first."
"Mom understand, dear."
She hugged Angelina. "I left first, he was already waiting in front. If Papa and Ulan ask me, just tell me I'm going with Fanny."
Angelina just nodded. After his daughter left, he headed to the dinner table to join Jefry and Ulan.
"Where is Wulan?" jefry asked, seeing his beloved wife come alone.
Jefry's question represented Ulan sitting in front of Angelina.
"He went with Fanny."
"Tumben sister came out without taking me."
Right, this is the first time Wulan left without taking Ulan. Usually, his stepbrother will take him away even with Fanny.
"It's supposed to be a birthday, son," Angelina said, not wanting Ulan to think, "Maybe their show is private, so your sister doesn't invite you. The proof is that Wulan didn't bring a car, she was picked up by them."
Ulan nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Jefry immediately delivered the news that he had wanted to convey since.
"Papa wants to match you with papa's friend's son, Ulan."
The two women were surprised.
"Stupid? Nah! I don't want to, Papa."
Angelina curious. "Your friend's son, who?"
"Handoko Lais's. My friend just returned from abroad. He owns the BK Group. He has one son, his name is Niko. His wife died when Niko was nine years old. He came all the way from abroad to marry his son to our daughter."
"No, Pa! I don't want to, I don't want to get married yet. Moreover, I do not know him. How could he like me."
Angelina defends Ulan. "We are not God who can determine who their soul mate is. It's all a process, Jefry."
"You don't have to pretend, Ulan. Didn't you help her after the accident? You're the one who took him to the hospital."
Ulan. "I don't__"
"Don't argue," said Jefry as if he did not want to hear Ulan's explanation, "Don't you have long wanted to match you. Handoko's existence abroad makes it difficult to say that. It turns out that God knows what papa wants, Handoko came and wants her daughter to marry our daughter."
Ulan was still glued to his seat. 'She likes me? I monolongnya and drove him to the hospital .. when? Ah, surely papa deliberately made up the story.'
