(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
Refusal

Ann's body warms up when all the cameras are on her. Moreover, the questions from the Host who seemed to interrogate made Ann groggy not a bitch.

"If you're nervous, look ahead. Think of the people in front of you as plants that can't respond to anything you say."

Her father's words were again ringing in Ann's ears. He took a breath and looked straight ahead. But the look of the face that was looking at him sharply from behind the camera suddenly made his heart seem to stop beating right then and there. Kian!?

The hour was very slow for Ann, when the gaze of the two eyes that were always looking at her in the shade turned frightening. Several times Ann tried to relax and focus her mind on Daren, but in fact, occasionally her gaze was fixed on Kian who remained there without expression. Only the look in his eyes seemed to speak and asked Ann to get out of there as soon as possible.

Until the show is over, Ann is increasingly made agitated when Kian never once approached her on stage. The man seemed busy talking to someone and disappeared behind the exit.

"You want me to drive you home?"

Ann jerks. He turned to Daren who had finished changing his clothes.

"No need. I brought a car, really," Ann refused.

Daren waved at Diki who was not far from him.

"My plans for today are done, right? You brought my car, huh! I'll call if I need to be picked up." Daren gives Diki his car contact.

"Eh, no, Daren. I went home alone. I live nearby now." Ann turned to Diki with a sigh. "Kasian Mas Diki to go home alone."

"Ah, that's okay. He's used to it. Aren't you, Bro?" tukas Daren asked for approval.

"Yes, that's okay. Just relax, Ann!" sahut Diki while smiling widely.

Ann circulated her gaze looking for Kian, but the man did not appear again.

"Who are you looking for, anyway?" daren asked when she realized Ann had been looking agitated.

"Hmm, acquaintance. Yes already. Come on, let's go get something to eat." Ann pulls Daren's hand out of the studio before Kian catches her.

Daren, according to him, he gave the hand code to Diki to stand by with his phone. Diki nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, don't rush dong!" Daren pulled Ann's hand gently back.

"We have to get away. I'll tell you later!"

"What's up, anyway?"

"My husband works here!"

"What?!"

Ann pulled Daren into the elevator quickly and pressed the close button in a hurry. Slowly the door began to close, Ann breathed a sigh of relief and took off her check on Daren while closing her eyes. But until a few seconds passed, the clinking sound of the closed elevator door could not be heard.

"Wanna get in?"

"Wait, I think I know who you are?!" Daren watched Kian closely.

Ann reflex pulled Daren's arm forward to the door about to approach Kian. The atmosphere began to stiffen and tense.

Kian glanced at the hand of the woman who had already broken her heart and turned to look at Daren.

"Beb, her?" Daren turned to Ann who nodded straight away. "Oh, so this is your husband?"

"Ann, come home with me," asked Kian as he watched Ann half-begging, ignoring Daren's words.

Daren was furious and pushed the shoulder of the man in front of her to make Kian take a few steps back.

"Ann is right as your wife. But he's still mine. Don't go near him!"

"All my parents were Ann's husband. Don't interfere in our affairs."

"What!? Us?!"

"Daren, let's go!" Ann pulled Daren's arm which began to be provoked by emotion.

Kian was stunned, he looked at Ann sharply and coldly. So he was rejected?? Ann would rather go home with that man!?

"Don't height dream, Bro! Please be self-conscious, okay?!" kecam Daren while pointing at Kian's face with his index finger.

"Daren, come!" Ann pulls Daren into the elevator with a little force.

Once the two of them were inside the glass-walled elevator, Ann immediately pressed the close button. The door began to close slowly. Ann still had time to see Kian's gaze that began to dim on him before then the elevator door was closed tightly. Ann let out a sigh of relief, the elevator came down slowly.

"Go home with Mas Diki. There's something I need to finish with Kian at home."

"Beb, I'm coming."

"No. It's an internal affair between me and him" Ann refused.

"But, I'm afraid he'll do something bad to you!" Daren insists.

Ann shook her head as her lover looked at her worriedly. "No, I'm not that kind of guy. Trust me the same."
