(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND

(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
And History begins


"Nathan su-dah home?"


Kian turned to Grandma Sofia who was weakly rubbed on the bed with an oxygen hose attached to her nose.


"Already, Grandma," he said as he inched to sit on a chair beside the patient's bed.


The wrinkled face pulled at both ends of her lips as Kian looked at her fixedly. Kian wanted to scan every curve of the skin in his memory, he was very afraid of losing this old figure and could not remember his face one day.


"You know Jonathan's condition is getting worse, right, Kian?" lirih Grandma Sofia while pulling Kian's hand and holding it tightly.


Kian nodded, this time no longer daring to look into Grandma Sofia's two sad eyes.


"If your kidneys and he's a match, would you donate them to Nathan?"


"Mr ..."


"At least you can still save Nathan's life even though you can't save Grandma." Grandma Sofia tightened her grip.


Thin lips Kian felt confused to support him. He can't save Grandma Sofia because their kidneys don't match each other, which is why Kian hates himself so much.


"Nathan's a good man, Grandma's sure she can take care of you when Grandma leaves."


"Don't talk like that, Grandma! Grandma's gonna get well, we're gonna go home this afternoon!" tukas Kian angry.


The warm smile was back on the face that was getting pale. "You know very well the cycle of this disease, don't you? No need to deny it, Kian. Your parents' condition is getting worse."


"Grandmother is definitely cured! Don't talk bad anymore. I still can't make Grandma happy, I still want to live with Grandma even longer! Please .." A single tear escaped from Kian's eye patch, he wiped it harshly. "Please stay alive for me, Grandma!!"


And the crying made the IGD atmosphere even more bitter when Grandma Sofia actually breathed her last while she was off guard. Kian had just come out of the toilet when the machine was buzzing long and several sisters surrounded Grandma Sofia's bed. Still 3 minutes ago he saw that smile created when Kian promised to donate his kidney to Jonathan, but now the owner of the warmest smile of all time has returned to the Creator.

"You want to go home, Kian?"


Kian nodded as he looked at Jonathan who was walking in disagreement with him.


"Thank you very much, Kian. I owe you and Grandma Sofia."


"It doesn't have to be that way, Mr. Nathan. We sincerely help you," sidelines Kian unpleasant.


Jonathan touched his stomach which was still wrapped in bandages, he also noticed Kian's stomach behind the black polo T-shirt with his heart.


"Whether it's a coincidence or not, I was hoping your kidneys didn't match mine. But it turns out fate says something else."


"Sir Nathan, after this live well. Grandma Sofia loves you very much and wants you to live happily."


"You too, Kian! You have to live happily even without Grandma Sofia. You're a good boy, I promise I'll guarantee your life in the future."


And that promise really materializes after losing contact for two years, Jonathan suddenly contacts Kian again and marries him to Annastasia, his only daughter whom Nathan has always been proud of Kian and Grandma Sofia.


He never asked, he just lived God's destiny. If he ends up stuck in the vortex of love between Ann and Daren, Kian just needs to live it as usual. He resigned, and never wanted to demand much on his pretended wife. There will be times when he will get tired, he will leave after everything is done and will not come back again.


"Maybe it's time for me to leave?"
