(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
Competes

Since getting out of the elevator, Ann has been clinging to Kian. While walking side by side, the two of them finally arrived at Love's apartment. Kian rang the bell as he occasionally glanced at Ann who was writhing spoiled in his left arm while the two paper bags containing gifts for Roy and Rey were held tightly by Ann.

"You come to this place often?" search Ann jealous.

Kian shakes fast. "Three times only."

"Just?!" Ann was upset.

Clenching his lips full of regret, he said honestly but apparently even added new problems. Should he lie?

Click.

The door slowly opened from within.

"Om Kian!!"

A girl jumped up and hugged Kian after the door opened wide. Ann gasped in shock for a while, she took off her armband on Kian's arm so that this little boy could hug Kian as much as he could. Feeling Ann slightly dodging, Kian looked at her with guilt.

"Roy and I have been waiting for Om Kian since then, we're starving!" decak the little girl after Kian carried her.

"Rey, down! Om's hand is still hurting."

Love suddenly comes from within. Ann watches him in shock, especially when his appearance and Love look not much different. They both wear dresses with floral motifs, only different in color. Ann threw away her face and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

The little girl named Rey slowly sagging from the sling Kian, he then ran towards Love.

"Mom, who is she?" Rey pointed at Ann who was standing behind Kian.

He pulled Ann's arm to stand next to him. "He's Om Kian's wife, Rey."

"What is wife?" ask Rey innocently.

Love takes her breath in. "The wife is someone you love the most, Rey. Your partner in life."

"But I thought Om Kian loves you, Mom."

"Rey!" Love shut his daughter's mouth quickly. He pulled Rey back. "Sorry Ann, Mas Kian. Rey is sometimes too bar-bar."

Kian exhaled, he glanced at Ann who was staring tensely.

"Yeah, in! Dinner's ready, we'll eat right away." Love turned and walked ahead of her guest while holding Rey.

Every now and then Rey turned to Ann who was looking at her sharply, as if a laser beam came out of Ann's eyeball and penetrated little Rey. For the first time, Ann gets a rival for a underage child. Makes Ann so rethink to have a daughter because surely later they will both fight for the attention of Kian.

"Where's your husband?" ask Ann without further ado.

He turned to Ann and coded her to be quiet. Ann who did not understand the meaning of Kian just looked at him confused.

Instead of answering, Love instead allowed Kian and Ann to sit in chairs that circled the dining table. Various Chinese food dishes have been neatly arranged in the middle of the table, not to forget a two-stacked tart cake is also in between.

Ann pulled out a chair and sat down next to Kian. Rey chooses to sit next to Kian but Cinta first pulls the seat next to Ann for her little daughter.

"Where's Roy?" tanya Kian was confused because he had not seen the boy.

"Hmm, Roy's a little cranky tonight. Suddenly he refused to blow the candle," obviously Love was not at all pleased.

Frowning in wonder, Roy is indeed a little temperamental because he is very sensitive.

"Can I see him?"

"Roy locked the bedroom door, Om! He's mad at us" Rey said.

Ann who does not understand the ins and outs of the Love family can only be silent, especially after that Kian asked her not to talk much.

In the end, Kian got up from his chair. "Wait 10 minutes, I'll try to persuade Roy to come out and celebrate his birthday together."

Love nodded, Rey got off her chair and ran after Kian. Only Ann was silent because she didn't know what to do. He only noticed Kian who disappeared behind the hallway.

"Do you love Kian?"

Ann was stunned, she watched Love who suddenly asked her that question.

"Ofcourse and do. Why are you asking like that?" Ann asked in surprise. "It seems you guys haven't been friends for a long time, but why are you acting as if you understand Kian the most!"

Love smiled softly, she returned Ann's probing gaze warmly. "Because I know what she looks like. But it seems that it is you who do not know much about Kian. About her family background, about her education, even about .. the story behind the wound on her stomach."

Ann laughed, Love acted as if she understood Kian the most. Though clearly Ann who first knew Kian and understand the ins and outs about him. But wait, a wound in the stomach?? Ann gasp.

"Do not do well if you really love him. I know bad news about you, Ann. So you should be vigilant, do not be careless and do not let go of Kian."

"You're threatening me?" Ann offended. Within a day there were already two people threatening him blatantly, daebak!!

"I'm not threatening, I'm just asking you to be careful. Had you guys split up because of that artist, I would have gladly snatched Kian away from you."
