(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
Almost ...

"You should always be healthy, Ann. Because you have to take care and care of Papa, Papa's first than me. Whatever happens one day."

"You're talking about it, anyway! Make me afraid," Ann said she didn't like.

He responded with a smile and stroked Ann's softly-dissolved hair. He will not let anyone hurt and make the Winata family miserable. To him, to a Kian who had no one left, Jonathan and Ann were priceless treasures. It doesn't matter to him if he has to lose his life, no one will cry over his disappearance, right?

The gaze between the two locked long enough, Ann down each inch of Kian's face which now looks fresher than when she was first treated at this Hospital. Maybe because of his regular diet and enough rest, the face that usually looks cute is now more chubby and adorable. Ann smiled softly. He pinched Kian's cheek which began to be overgrown with fine hair so that it makes his hands feel amused when touching it.

Meanwhile, Kian who could not turn away from the glare of the beautiful sharp eyes as if hypnotized long enough. The caress of his hand and the small pinch on his cheek made something inside his chest like it was tickled by hundreds of flaps of butterfly wings. A sudden nervousness lingered in his heart, were they going to kiss again this time? Kiss like that night?

Unknowingly Ann's face was getting closer, Kian's warm and irregular breathing did not make her guts shrink to come closer to the beautiful face she adored secretly. The silent atmosphere made the two drown in their respective minds. Getting closer ... nose starts to touch and —

Kringh ...

Ann flinched, And so did. The two turned at the same time on Ann's phone that was ringing loudly on the table. With her heart still pounding as she was about to kiss, Ann got out of bed and walked up to the table.

Meanwhile, Kian exhaled between relief and disappointment as the tiny body moved away from him while carrying his phone ringing nonstop. Seeing Ann dodging and rushing out of the room, Kian understood who was contacting his wife. There is a bit of stabbing pain in the heart, but when he realized that everything that happened in his household life was just a cover, Kian did not heal the pain and chose to close his eyes to rest, any more.

Love is calling ...

Ann stared for a long time at the screen of her phone that was still on because there was an incoming call from Daren. He was already outside the room, choosing to stay away from Kian so that the conversation and Daren did not disturb his pride.

"Hello" said Ann hesitantly after sticking her phone in her ear.

"Beb, I miss you. Later tonight on the road, yuk! I'm stressed bangettt this busy week same reading process!" daren's voice is down there.

"You have to take care of it, right? He can be alone, not a baby that must be kept 24 hours."

"Daren, where is your empathy?" sela Ann was shocked to hear Daren's slur.

"Is the wound bad? He must have been pretending to have you sympathized."

"Daren, don't say bad about Kian."

"See, you even started defending him! Well, if you don't want to go out tonight, I'm going out on my own!"

Tit.

Phone disconnected. Closing her eyes, Ann let out a tired breath. Sometimes the childish nature of Daren appears at unexpected times. There is guilt in Ann's heart as she has to let Daren spend her time alone. Though he understood, for Daren the time to relax is a very valuable time because of the busyness that there is no pause. Ann turns her phone back on and types a message for Daren. Her little thumb nimbly moves on the keypad, although some of her rejects it, but it is undeniable that Ann still loves Daren very much. The man who had accompanied her for the past three years.

Kling.

A reply message from Daren went into Ann's phone. He opened it with mixed feelings.

[Okay, I'll see you tonight.]
