Nathaniel is a gay man who cannot reveal his identity because of his family status. Meanwhile, Liana, an independent woman who vowed never to marry but is confused by her family's demands to get married immediately. So, what if the two of them agree to build a household? Agree to help each other with their marital status? Will their wedding go as smoothly as they planned? Or... just the opposite?
View MoreLian nervous? Of course! However, the fact is that Lian hasn't experienced feelings like this for years. Feelings of nervousness when waiting to be introduced to a figure are something that she has to anticipate, and of course, Lian has to give a good impression.Well, even though their marriage was only the result of an agreement, that doesn't mean Lian can just show insolence towards her future in-laws, right? Ah, that nickname still seems too awkward to pin, so let's use “Nathan's parents” instead.It's true; after discussing it the other day at Nathan's apartment, they decided to immediately put their plans into action. After all, everything has been discussed, and even if something is missing, it can be added later. What are they waiting for anyway? Isn't their goal to make their family calm? That's why the sooner it is done, the better, right?“Are you nervous?” Nathan glanced at Lian, who was sitting next to him. The woman was rubbing her hands in her lap as if she were trying
"What do you mean without your knowledge, Arga?" Nathan spoke after Lian seemed confused about answering the young man's question. I always told you when I met Lian, so how could you say it without knowing?"Arga, who was attacked by his lover, looked relaxed and didn't seem cornered even though Nathan's question was quite harsh. The young man's shoulders even shrugged indifferently. “You said that after you two met, right? In other words, every time you plan a meeting, I don't know. What's wrong with what I said?"Unlucky. Lian swallowed her saliva, feeling that her current position was like a third person. Is this what it feels like to be between lovers who are fighting? Lian thought."But then..."“Yes, yes, it's up to you, Sir. I was just asking, why did you get so serious like that? I'm not going to attack Lian, why are you so scared?"“Arga.”“Sorry... Sorry, okay? Are you satisfied now? Can't you take a joke at all? You're too serious, you know?" Arga sneered, now turning his f
Strangely, every time Arga asked for Nathan's time to meet him, the man always had something urgent to do so he couldn't meet his lover. Meanwhile, without Nathan realizing it, the time to discuss something with Lian was always there, so the intensity of their meeting was quite high recently.What are they talking about? Many things. Whether it's getting to know each other, or learning all the things they have to do to convince people about their future marriage.Wedding preparations? Maybe that word can be used for some of these things. Although the perspective that people generally have is different from Lian and Nathan regarding the matter of "wedding preparation".“Today I invited Arga. Yes, don't worry. He said there was also something he wanted to talk to you about.”Nathan spoke on his telephone. Exited the doctor's office and started touring the hospital before heading to the ER where he spent the day.“Okay, see you later. I'll let you know when Arga has decided on a place fo
“Y-you guys?”After quite a bit of silence since Nathan last smiled following Lian's greeting, Katrin spoke, and unfortunately, that was the only thing that could come out of her mouth even though there were lots of things going on in her head.Katrin's head was busy changing direction between Lian and Nathan to see the two people's reactions, or waiting for the answer to come out of their mouths. But seconds passed, and Katrin didn't answer, instead, she gave a questioning look which made Katrin tired herself. The woman finally chuckled, choosing to leave the two people with who knows what their business was now.“Tsk, it's up to you! I completely give up on you two.” Katrin grumbled, a few seconds later the woman had taken over the cashier's desk and decided to busy herself there. As was the case with Lian, no matter how curious Katrin was at the moment regarding the two people's affairs, they wouldn't tell her anyway. That's enough, Katrin is enough and must be aware of that."I th
"Have you signed your marriage agreement?" Arga's shout on the telephone line slightly made Nathan, who put his cell phone to his ear, move it away for a moment."Arga... keep your voice down, my ears will hurt." Nathan protested afterward.The man on the telephone didn't seem to listen to Nathan's request, he continued to insult Nathan with questions that he didn't ask enough. Ah, maybe a little, Arga at least lowered his voice so that his lover's ears would be okay, even though the barrage of questions from him didn't stop even though the previous one had not yielded an answer.“Why didn't you guys tell me? Why are you guys doing it without me? Why don't you guys discuss the timing with me first? And why are you just saying it now? When did you do it? What are the contents of the agreement?"“Arga, calm down... What makes you this angry? What's wrong with me and Lian just doing it together? This is just a statement on paper, that we do it for each other's interests. What do you expe
Nathan could not immediately contact Lian even though the next day he had decided to follow all the points that Liana put forward. The reason? Because Nathan had to take another full shift, and it was difficult to find time to meet Lian because the woman also had a busy schedule.It took 3 days for Nathan to arrange a meeting with Lian. And it couldn't be said to be a meeting because Nathan still had to be responsible for the ER and his juniors.“You guys—” The man seemed at a loss for words. He couldn't understand why Nathan could take advantage of him at a time like this. “I mean, you can meet somewhere else! Why does it have to be in my room?!"Erick. That was Erick who was pacing back and forth in his room. He couldn't stop thinking about his friend and patient who agreed to meet in his room. What? What do they think Erick's room is? Rendezvous? Meeting room? Café? Seriously!"After all, Lian. I thought you came to consult with me again. I'm happy and grateful that you want to for
"But..." Lian continued but also stopped speaking at the same time. Her eyes now dared to look straight at Nathan, as if she wanted to emphasize that what she was about to say was something serious and intolerable.“Please continue, Lian. I'll listen.”“I want the contents of the agreement only you and I to know. Arga might be able to find out our true relationship, but not the contents of the agreement."Nathan was silent, listening.“Because even though this is called a fake household, basically this relationship will still be called a household. There are things that other people can know, and there are things that only the two of us need to know."Nathan's head slowly gave a slow nod. For some reason, there was something that made Nathan feel happy about Lian's words. The woman, whether she realized it or not, no longer used separate pronouns to refer to the two of them. He no longer uses "You and I" but rather "We" in her speech. And even though other people think it's a trivial
They met, just Lian and Nathan, in a café which of course was not Katrin's café. Lian knew that if they were there, their conversation would feel like they were being watched, and Nathan also knew that he probably didn't want to be seen again at Katrin's café after what happened.And now, after ten minutes of being there, both of them were still silent. Avoiding looking at each other even though both of them also stole several opportunities to glance or glance at the figure in front of them.Nathan rubbed his hands on his trousers-covered knees, and cleared his throat slightly, daring himself to speak first. "I thank you because you are still willing to meet me, especially—""No need to make small talk, that sounds annoying."What does Nathan hope for? Lian of course was still angry with him. Who doesn't? After being framed, lied to, and taken advantage of like what happened a few days ago, of course, Lian has the right to be angry with him, and even has the right to hate him for the
Katrin immediately approached Liana as soon as she saw her friend come out of her room. The woman was very excited and wanted to ask many questions that had been in her head for a long time, but when she saw Lian's confused expression, the enthusiasm on Katrin's face slowly faded, even disappearing completely, replaced by the anxiety that was etched there."Are you all right? Your conversation isn't going well?"Lian just shook her head, held one of Katrin's hands, and looked at her friend with a pitiful look.“I'll go home first, Kat. I need my own time. I'm sorry, and thanks for the room.” Without waiting for a reply from Katrin, Lian left in front of her, walking in a hurry as if she wanted to quickly disappear from that place and didn't want to look there again.Her mind was full, full of the wounds that her parents would have had to endure. And all of that was because of Arga's words, the persuasive sentences that the young man said to Lian seemed to have an impact on the woman.
“How many times have you told me? It's time for you to get married, Lian. Look how old you are! And you said what? Still haven't found the right companion?” Liana—the woman who was listening to her mother's chatter for the hundredth time, could only sigh in resignation. Of course, what else could it do besides that? Lian has responded many times with various reasons, in the end? It's always Lian who loses. Her mother was always right, and would not accept any excuse Lian gave as to why she was still single at such a mature age. "I've tried to find several potential companions for you, Lian. But you failed everything for various reasons. From what sounds reasonable to what you can't accept at all." Who is now in the same position as Liana? Can you understand how she feels now? Every morning, when Lian should be filling up his energy with breakfast to spend at the office, Lian has to be on the inner battlefield. The choice between wanting to fight but being disobedient, or remaining
