(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
I'm Going Home

Kian watches the circular watch on his wrist, at 20:30. Roy and Rey just went to bed after Kian accompanied them earlier. During these two days Cinta is busy at her Bakery store due to many orders, she accidentally asks Kian for help to keep an eye on the twins during her overtime.

While humming, Kian pressed the elevator button towards the top floor. He had cooked nuggets and vegetables oseng for dinner the twins earlier, the aroma of cooking attached to his tall body that is getting fatter because it rarely exercise and activity. During his illness, Kian received a special leave from his office, as a result he did not do much other than playing with Roy and Rey.

Tting.

The elevator door opened slowly, Kian waltzing out while still humming. He didn't notice someone staring at him at the dinner table. A woman who for three days was dying from thinking about it. Seeing Kian get out of the elevator without paying attention to him made Ann's heart a little sore, did Kian really not see it or pretend not to see?

"Kian."

Kian's step stopped, his hand outstretched on the door handle suddenly floated in the air, pounding on his chest that began to relax since Ann went out of touch to beat irregularly again. He turned to the origin of the voice that had called him at the dinner table, the woman who had disappeared for three days from her days was standing there while looking at him with sadness. Kian exhaled nervously, the rumbling thump in his chest changed into a dagger prick that rained down on his heart.

Not knowing what to respond to, his disappointment in Ann was greater than his longing for the woman. Kian just pegged where he stood, he did not go forward nor did he retreat.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent and stiff between the two. Ann is showered with guilt, while Kian prefers to harbor her disappointment.

"Have you eaten?" ask Ann when she doesn't know what to say.

He hasn't had dinner yet, but having dinner with Ann seems like a bad idea. Still not ready to argue.

"Already," said Kian lying.

Ann nodded clumsily, she swallowed her saliva which was somehow very difficult to pass through her esophagus.

"I'm .. I'm willing-"

"Kian, wait!"

Kian's step stopped again, but his hand was gripping the door handle tightly. Kian hopes to channel his negative energy on the iron handle.

"I want to apologize." Eventually the word slid smoothly from Ann's thin lips. "I know you're disappointed, but I swear I didn't do anything during my vacation with Daren!"

Kian smiled wryly, he exhaled his breath that felt tight. Vacationing together without doing anything? Looks like Kian believes elephants can fly more than Ann on vacation without doing anything with Daren!

"It's up to you to believe me or not. I've been honest this time!" timpal Ann insisted.

Turning back, he looked at Ann intently. "Why are you explaining this to me, Ann? Am I not allowed to interfere in your personal life? Is not the agreement between us clear?"

Jderr.

Like a lightning bolt that suddenly struck, Ann was stunned to hear Kian's statement. Highlight eyes Kian very scary, Ann had seen this kind of highlight when Kian was filming his show at Tivi Station first.

A sharp look turned on Ann's bandaged legs. The cold expression of his face changed when he saw that the leg was injured. Curious to ask but he prefers to refocus on his emotions.

"If there's nothing more important to talk about, I'm going to bed."

Turning around, he pressed the door handle and pushed it. Irregular breaths make the mood worse. Ann managed to make the night a mess, Kian will definitely not be able to sleep well tonight!
