A Mate is Never Wrong
Threatens.

"Of course, and om would've known what I wanted to talk about."

That resolute-sounding tone made Jefry look at him. His gaze was startled, seeing Niko still standing with both hands in her pants pocket. He could guess what he wanted to discuss through Niko's expression. However, he pretends not to know, so that Niko does not suspect him. It's not that Niko didn't know that Jefry was the brains behind the death of Benny Irawan.

"It's definitely about Wulan, right? I heard the news from my mother. Come on, sit down and we'll talk good."

Niko agreed as a form of respect. He pulled up the chair in front, sat down, staring at Jeffrey flatly.

Jefry looked at her, smiled forcefully, and started talking, "Om don't mind you being in a relationship with Wulan. Anyway that was wrong the other day, right? Your papa said he wanted to match you with Ulan. Take it easy, um don't mind that."

'Truly a fucking human. In front of me he's still playing? Had it not been an old man, I would have smacked his face until it bled, Niko's inner self.

Jefry continued, "By the way there's one thing you want to say and you should know."

Niko's expression did not change. He kept staring at Jefry in silence with a very flat face.

"It's been a long time to say this to your father. Unfortunately your father is too cool to live his life abroad, so om can not say it. It's not polite to talk about something this important over the phone?"

Niko again did not budge, but she had guessed what Jefry wanted to say.

"Ulan's mother wants him to marry you, son. Before he died he had advised, if Ulan was grown, he wanted Ulan to be betrothed to you. That's why when your father said he wanted to match you up with my daughter, I was so happy to hear that."

"I think Om must know who I love so much."

"Om knows, but he promised his mother that he would marry you to Ulan" Jefry bowed for a moment and said, "Om also talked to Aunt Angelina. She didn't mind, because at first she knew you'd be married to my daughter, not her daughter."

Niko is upset with the drama that Jefry is playing. Not wanting to linger any longer, Niko immediately stood facing Jefry.

"I'm sorry, Om. Until whenever I won't marry Ulan. I hope Om can understand what I'm feeling. As hard as Om's attempts to marry me to Ulan would have been better off, I would never have been Ulan's husband and Ulan would never have been my wife."

Without saying anything Niko immediately rushed out.

"Wait!" prevent Jefry.

Niko's steps stopped right near the door. He turned and looked at Jeffrey.

Jefry cleared his throat. "Are you sure you won't marry Ulan?"

"I don't have to answer."

"Then where did you choose, to marry Ulan or to have your father die?"

Niko's face changed.

Jeffrey chuckled and stood up. His smile grew wider looking at Niko's handsome face looking pale.

"You forgot who I am, huh?" jefry said arrogantly, "I can do anything, Niko."

Niko's angry. So angry was the respect for Jefry was lost.

"You threatening me? You think I'm gonna be scared of your threats, huh? My decision is unanimous, and I will never marry Ulan."

Without waiting for a reply Niko opened the door, exited, then slammed it hard.

Jeffrey clenched his hands. "Look at what I'm gonna do."

Panicked by Jefry's threats, Niko immediately contacted her father from the moment he exited the building. Anxiety and fear mixed into one. Niko did not expect Jefry to dare to issue the threat to him.

"How come you want to be his friend."

While driving Niko continued to attach the phone to the ear.

"The number you're going to is off or out of range. Try__"

Niko ended the call. Since he had contacted Handoko many times but the result was the same, he decided to contact Darius. How long Darius' voice was heard.

"Hello, Mr. Niko."

"Darius, what's papa in the office?"

"Nothing, sir."

"Then go to the house and check on Papa. Make sure papa's safe and that's okay."

"Good, sir."

"Ready, sir."

Since today they had to part ways with Wulan, all the employees made small events to entertain their colleagues who were about to switch tasks.

"You don't forget us, do you?"

"Yes, don't stay there long. Look out, don't get the guy's heart pinched in there, yeah."

Wulan chuckled with her colleague's comments.

"True, Manado's men are handsome. But it doesn't matter, who knows one of them is your soul mate."

"That's impossible" protested Fanny, "He's already got one. Wulan, you don't fuck around in there. Watch out if you fuck around."

"You guys are just there. I'm out there on duty, not looking for a mate."

"Who knows your soul mate there."

"No," Fanny protested. He stared angrily at the woman in front of him, "Stupid Wulan is here. His soul mate is already bound and will not be let go."

They're all broken.

"You're not God, Fanny," said Wulan, "You can't determine who I am."

Fanny wanted to laugh, but a bad taste in her stomach suddenly attacked.

"I go to the toilet first. Don't disperse, we're not done yet."

As a result of drinking too much Fanny felt her bladder was full. He walked to the toilet far from the crowd.

The women's toilet is just opposite the men's toilet. The atmosphere of the office is also quiet because the operational hours are up.

Fanny comes in and finishes her wish. Not wanting her shoes to get wet, Fanny replaced her black heels with yellow sandals that she often used in the office before heading to the toilet.

As soon as Fanny was out. However, when he heard a familiar male voice saying Wulan's name out loud, Fanny reluctantly came out and eavesdropped on the conversation. His eyes even continued to glare every time he heard a word that was thrown from the man.

With a high degree of worry Niko entered her house. After getting word from Darius that Handoko was home, he immediately went there to check on her condition.

"Papa, Papa's fine, right?" niko's tone was trembling.

Handoko who had been confused earlier immediately asked, "Papa is fine. Why did you send Darius to look after papa?"

Niko relieved. He sat down and explained what worried him. He recounts Jefry's encounter and threat to Handoko.

"He gave me a choice, marry Ulan or Papa dies."

Handoko's face was red with anger. "Jefry's really overdue. She thought it could be that easy to get rid of me, huh?! This can't be allowed, I'll go see him and make a calculation with him."

"It's not necessary, Pa. I don't want anything to happen to Papa. What matters now is that Papa needs to be safe and stay away from her."

"Papa was really sorry to have known him. Oath, Niko. Had you known your future would be like this, you would never have known a man named Jefry Tanujaya. Honestly, Niko. Let alone being his besi, knowing him now even papa it feels not right. Really."

"We'll just go, Pa. Maybe there's a silver lining behind all this. Let's just say we're helping Wulan and Aunt Angelina get justice."

Handoko. "Then what are your plans, you won't marry Ulan, right?"

"I'm thinking about it, the most important thing is Papa's safety."

Drtts... Drtts...

Niko's mobile vibration shocked them. He quickly grabbed the pocket of the suit then saw the name in front of the screen.

"Who?" handoko asked as she saw Niko's brows furrowing.

"I don't know, this is a new contact," with Niko's flat expression connecting, "Hello?"

"Hello, Niko? It's Fanny, Wulan's friend. Where are you? I want to meet you, there's something I have to say about Wulan."
