(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
Dinner Invitation + Dinner

After the meeting with the Wedding Organizer, Kian immediately took a bath and cooked a portion of instant noodles because he was hungry again after signing the marriage agreement.

Her pride has been destroyed since Mr. Nathan asked her to marry Ann, but the events of a few hours ago greatly hurt her dignity. Without the letter of agreement, Kian also could not have done as he pleased with Annastasia. He knows himself and has been able to position himself will be what kind of husband will be. Independent women like Ann couldn't possibly just obey Kian.

While devouring noodle soup that he had made extra spicy with sliced cayenne pepper, Kian typed something on the keypad of his phone. Annastasia's name is listed at destination number. And within a minute, the message had been sent to Ann's number. Kian smiled wryly.

And the next morning, the bad mood was still at home to reach Kian's heart. Plus her tummy that had been churning since dawn made Kian even more unable to suppress her anger towards Ann. The woman didn't even return the message last night. Kian rushed to take a shower and prepared to go to work even though his stomach was still wrapped around and diarrhea due to eating spicy food last night.

Arriving in the department room half an hour later, some friends appear to be crowding in Santi's cubicle. More and more passed them nonchalantly, he was not so familiar with his friends. Kian only greeted them as they were and never joined while they were gossiping.

"What I said the other day, Hendra must have deketin his son Pak Kuncoro so he can rise to office!" santi's voice sounded as Kian passed by her.

Deg. He gasped, his steps stopped and he turned to the crowd of friends who were still focused on staring at the computer screen. An online story appeared on screen showing a photo of one of the crew from the Electric Department with a woman in bridal attire.

"Eh, Kian? Was it from earlier?" mbak Ninis asked who was about to return to his desk once he saw Kian standing right behind them.

Some of Kian's friends who had been busy watching the computer screen suddenly turned to Kian.

"Oh, no, Ma'am. Just now," said Kian groggy because some sharp highlight of the women in his Department lead to him.

Kian then inched away from there and walked quickly to the cubicle. He did not want his friends to realize that Kian had eavesdropped on their conversation.

Instantly, the mind began to rage about various things. Hendra who was never exposed to his romance suddenly married the daughter of Marketing Director. Guts shrunk instantly. So what if the news of his own wedding will be widespread?!

Kian shakes fast. No. gabe. He does not want to be the topic of gossip company friends. Moreover, Ann is the daughter of the Commissioner who put a sizable stake in this company. It will be the months of all his friends.

"Uhhh," Kian groaned softly as his stomach wrapped around again.

He hurriedly pulled the wishlist paper on his desk and stood up. It looks like this diarrhea will carry out its activities today if not treated immediately. While enduring the pain, Kian walked quickly towards the men's toilet. He did not even realize that Risa had smiled and greeted him. More who have pain focus to get to the toilet as soon as possible before the contents in his stomach out.

Thirty minutes later.

Kian out of the minimarket located in the Upperground Television Station where he works while carrying a small crackle containing diarrhea drugs and a bottle of mineral water. He then took the elevator back to Studio 3.

The elevator began to move up, Kian took out the medicine and immediately drank it. He should see Mr. Nathan soon after his office. Suddenly, she became very worried about her wedding plans.

Just as the elevator door opened slowly, the phone in the pants pocket shook. He reached into his pocket quickly.

Mr. Nathan is calling...

"Hello, sir."

"Today, I'm inviting you to dinner. Come quickly after you get home from the office!"

Smiling with relief, he also had plans to meet Mr. Nathan, coincidentally even invited to dinner.

"good. I'll come, sir!"

"good. I'll send the restaurant address via chat."

"Okay, Mr. Nathan."

Tit

Kian breathed a sigh of relief. He swung his pace to Studio 3 quickly. Today he only served on one show, recording the taping show "The Path" three episodes at a time.

"Eh, Lisa!" call Kian when he just realized a woman passed him without turning her head.

Risa is also heading towards the same studio as Kian. They also recorded the same show. Risa stopped her steps and looked over.

"Yes?" risa asked as Kian just silently stared behind her.

Kian exhaled nervously, Risa's expression was not as warm as usual. "You're also on duty here?" Back to asking.

"Can I work in the same segment?" Risa again throws questions.

Kian shakes fast. "Oh, that's not what I meant. Excuse me. Yes, let's go quickly stand by!"

Get into the studio first and move quickly towards camera one. He shifted his nervousness by checking the condition of the Canon camera which was always his favorite camera and the incoming lighting so that the visual captured by the camera was perfect. The guest stars and hosts are already on stage. He listened to the director's instructions and put headphones on his head.

"Studio 3 standby .. crew standby .. camera 1 standby...!"

*********************

Dinner

If only Risa never revealed her heart, maybe Kian would not regret this when she met him. It feels so awkward that inevitably becomes a little distance so that the girl does not get misunderstood on the goodness.

At exactly five in the afternoon, Kian went down to the first floor and checked the lock before then running to his motorcycle parking lot. At seven he had to arrive at a luxurious restaurant located quite far from home. I decided to go home first to shower and change clothes. He didn't want Ann insulting him like yesterday.

Thirty minutes drive home, an hour of preparation and only thirty minutes left to arrive at the restaurant on time.

Kian wore a long-sleeved pastel blue shirt that he folded up to the elbow. While waiting for Jonathan and Ann to come, Kian noticed the sight of the city lights and then the car that always caught his attention. In the Green Area, he always chose to spend time resting by sitting on the window only to be able to see the beautiful scenery of the city at night.

Crutches, crutches.

Groped his stomach which began to rumble. This day he did not dare to fill his stomach with anything for fear of suddenly falling back again. He deliberately held his hunger and did not want to ruin this important moment of dinner. Kian had to submit conditions to Jonathan so that his marriage was not sniffed by anyone.

While circulating his gaze to look for waiters, he accidentally saw a woman who for several days shook his emotions like a rollercoaster. Ann appeared from behind the door and wore a red blazer suit and high heels that made her look very graceful and beautiful. Increasingly holding her breath nervously, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva as she looked at the skirt above the knee that Ann was wearing making her thighs exposed freely. Increasingly throw his face, he did not want his instincts as a man to make him out of control enjoy the smooth thighs of clean white.

Ann came to the table and sat down. He put his expensive bag on the next chair and watched Kian's face that was red with groggy.

"You've ta—"

Pet.

The restaurant lights suddenly went off. Ann flinched and turned to her surroundings which instantly became pitch-black.

No less panicking, he hates the dark. His eyes began to ponder the light. But suddenly a searchlight flashed, walked quickly to a point and stopped in Ann's body.

Ann was wide-eyed, she turned to Kian who was also no less shocked. A waitress suddenly stood beside Kian and handed him a large bouquet of roses and peonies. Kian received the bouquet of flowers doubtfully, and slowly the floodlights turned to illuminate his body.

One more floodlight appeared, shining on Ann. Kian finally realized, if Jonathan is the mastermind behind all this. Jonathan traps the two of them as if Kian is proposing to Ann.

With her heart pounding, Kian finally stood up from her chair and walked to Ann's chair which was right in front of her. Whether to get courage from where, Kian who was afraid of the dark suddenly no longer panicked as usual. Kian stood next to Ann's chair, leaning over and giving her the bouquet like the scenes she used to see in movies.

Ann who did not expect to get a surprise this sweet can only be flabbergasted in disbelief. He received a bouquet from Kian with a pounding heart.

"Thank you, Kian," said Ann Iirih.

He nodded and smiled.

Prok-prok-prok...

The lights immediately lit up in a boisterous applause of the waitres and guests. One waitres approached again, carrying a tray complete with a small box of pastel blue like the shirt Kian wore. Kian was only disturbed when the waitress thrust the tray at him.

"Make me?" whisper Kian confused.

The waitress nodded and coded Kian to give Ann the box.

He nodded doubtfully, he grabbed the box and turned around. His hand that had been trembling since after giving flowers to Ann, increasingly shaking groggy when now he brought is a jewelry box that does not know what it contains. He looked at Ann who was watching him.

It felt like his entire body wanted to vanish right now. He was embarrassed, whether he wanted to be kept where his face would be!

Kian got closer to Ann's chair and this time chose to crouch down near the woman. He opened the small box slowly, it contained a ring of gems that shimmered as Kian looked at him.

"Will you marry me?" whispered Kian raucous.

I don't know at this time he just follows his instincts. He felt like he was being framed in a situation that required him to act in front of the crowd as if the two of them were a real couple.

Ann stared at the ring that was thrusting with teary eyes. He had even been very upset at the man who was now resting in front of him, proposing to him!!

"Yes, Kian," said Ann with a trembling voice holding back her day.

Kian breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared that Ann would turn her down in front of so many people. Slowly Kian stood up and took the ring and pinned it on Ann's tapered finger.

Ann smiled, her eyes sparkling so beautifully that they unconsciously became hypnotized when they saw her. Just this time Ann smiled so sweetly at him. Kian does not expect that Ann has a charm hidden behind her arrogant nature.

Prok, prok, prok ...

There was another loud applause from the people inside the restaurant.

Ann's face was met with red under her curly hair. He looked down at the ring that was ringing on his ring finger. A very simple ring compared to the dozens of diamond rings he had. I don't know why Ann likes it so much. The lights look very beautiful and sparkly.

He returned to his chair with a heart that may have now moved to his knee. He was ashamed, deeply ashamed of being the center of attention of those around him. He did not expect Jonathan would trap him in such a situation. Kian exhaled slowly while throwing his body on the chair.

"Thank you, Kian!" said Ann when Kian had sat down again in front of him and the situation had returned conducive.

"Together" answered Kian keki.

"The ring is so beautiful, I love it. Thank you!" Ann was very sparkling and noticed again the ring on her ring finger.

Kian exhaled his worried breath, but this was not purely on his initiative. But seeing Ann who is very happy to get this special treatment, inevitably more secret who is behind all this so that Ann is not disappointed in him.
