Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

In a hospital.

Lying down a man was using an oxygen tube to help his breathing process. The man was still closing his eyes and looking pale by his whole body wasn't moving. He didn't move an inch. There are still no signs of being conscious after the accident and surgery.

At the side of the bed sat an older woman in graying hair. Staring at her grandson with all kinds of sad feelings that she couldn't share with anyone else.

She talked to her grandson so sad.

"Harry, Grandma apologizes to you. I'm forced to do entire this nonsense. I just hope you can understand."

Memories of the past few days flashed through her mind.

"We have thoroughly and massive investigated the accident that happened to your grandson. We found irregularities in the accident. The driver who was driving the truck seemed to want to commit suicide on purpose. Drinking high levels of alcohol. The speed of driving that managed be shown by CCTV seems to be also unreasonable."

Sofia gripped her hand tightly the moment she heard that explanation.

"So, we could conclude that this case could be classified as a case of premeditated murder."

At that time Sofia still couldn't believe it. She was sure that Harry had never had an enemy. And once in a while, some hate it. That person couldn't possibly be planning a murder.

The police and investigators are still expressing their presumptions based on the results of the investigation.

"We found the position of the collision unnatural. The truck was traveling on the wrong side. Then the hard-hit that the driver did increase greatly as he approached the taxi that your grandson was riding in. We believe that your grandson was the target from the start."

Cleo was busy preparing breakfast with Ane. She didn't expect that someone would come and knock on the door so early. She and Ane looked at each other in surprise.

"Who's visiting in this early? And was that a milkman who used to deliver the shipments?"

Anne shook her head. She guarantees that today shouldn't be a milk delivery schedule.

Cleo frowned.

"If not a milkman. Then, could it be Tina?"

While guessing who was coming, Cleo walked towards the door. She opened the door and greeted her guest. Cleo's eyes widened. She was surprised and did not expect the arrival of special guests today.

Cleo was both amazed and moved.

"Harry? Oh no! Is this you?"

The smile broke. He looked friendly and happy when he managed to surprise his wife. The gaze warmed up as he could feel the intense attention directed only at him at that moment.

He then spoke softly.

"I came back. And I miss you."

Cleo's eyes filled with tears. She was amazed. She hugged Harry so tightly.

"Oh, Harry! You finally came back. And now, my waiting time for you is over. I almost got tired of waiting for you."

Oscar returned Cleo's hug. He felt unaccustomed and clumsy. Because apart from the name and some explanations from Dirga. He didn't know anything about Cleo. Oscar continued to stare probingly.

"Did you miss me that much too?"

Oscar was actually checking closely to see if it was true that Cleo couldn't tell the difference between him and her husband. Everything looks normal.

Cleo nodded sadly.

"I really miss you. Even, more."

Cleo ushered Harry in. He had wondered why Oscar had to knock on the door and not come right in. Oscar cleverly answered him.

"I wanted to surprise you."

Ane was happy to see her Young Master come home. She prepared a hot drink for him. Harry turned down the offer. Although, he was a little confused by Ane's hand gesture.

"Just give me a cold drink. I'm getting hot now. So I really need something fresh."

Cleo looked at Oscar with a certain look.

"Since when do you prefer cold drinks to hot ones?"

Oscar looked at Cleo and Ane in turn up. He realized Harry had never done this. Because this was purely Oscar's habit. He was not used to always providing cold drinks in his refrigerator. And immediately drink when thirst attacks him.

Oscar reminisced about how he came to be in this house and become a spectacle.

"I did agree with your request, Grandma. But, changing the whole appearance to my habits too. Did you think this makes sense? Aren't you worried if I get caught quickly because our traits and habits are very different? You guys also want to ask me to make a beguile of his wife?"

Sofia stood straight in front of Oscar.

"That's why I'm giving you about two weeks. Until that time comes. You have to learn everything about Harry. About his habits. About the way he thinks and acts."

Oscar rolled his eyes.

"Oh, come on! I think it's complicated. And I started to change my mind!"

Oscar wanted to get up from his chair. Two hands were already holding his shoulders.

"You must listen to what the madam has to say, Mr. Oscar. Don't fight back and just go through all the procedures you need."

Ash and Dirga were already holding Oscar on both sides. Oscar was forced not to fight back.

The four of them were already in a hair and beauty salon that had been rented for private use. Sofia asked the hairstylist to cut and style her hair according to the photo she showed. Sofia had also expressed her wish that this attempt should be perfect.

Three pairs of eyes immediately surveyed Oscar's appearance from top to toe with expressions of complete shock.

Everyone stared at Oscar without blinking. They were almost at a loss for words. Their throats also feel clogged.

Sofia was the first to comment.

"I told you that only you can do this task."

Oscar gave an indifferent look.

He had already expected that they would be successful in terms of appearance. Oscar had seen his face whole his life. And he too had looked at Harry's face with satisfaction mixed with disgust.

He also didn't understand why they had to have such a near-perfect facial resemblance.

Dirga and Ash rubbed their eyes a few times.

"I didn't see it wrong! You two are highly similar. It's no surprise if Mrs. Sofia kept trying to persuade you to replace Mr. Harry."

Ash broke everyone's concentration.

"But you have to deal with your brown cornea."

Sofia glanced at one of the salon employees.

"Give him something to deal for it!"

The makeup artist unpacked some things. He found what he needed. He then handed it to Oscar.

"Let's use this. Then, everything will be perfect for you. And this is a pair of black contact lenses for normal eyes."

An employee demonstrated how to use it. Helped Oscar put a pair of soft lenses into his eyeballs.

Everyone was waiting anxiously.

Looked more pleased when they have achieved success. Sofia praised the workers who had put in the effort.

"I would give you a bonus."

Oscar stared at the appearance in the mirror. He no longer recognized who was standing in front of him. He repeatedly daydreams.

Sofia repeatedly put faith in Oscar.

"From now on, you are Harry. Remember to keep your attitude and get rid of your old habits. And learn how Harry behaves and acts. I'm sure you can do and will succeed."

It took Oscar two weeks to prepare everything. He could have finished all his studies in one week. However, Sofia asked for an extra week for her to delve deeper into Harry's character so as not to make a mistake.

After moving to the city, J. Oscar was taken to Dirga's apartment. He was given all the records and supporting documents for him in Harry's stead.

Oscar had learned a lot from Harry. Even though, they used to be close. Oscar also already knew a lot about Harry's nature which was so at odds with him.

Dirga's perfect explanation added to Oscar's knowledge which was still minimal.

"I'll start by finding Mr. Harry sitting down. He has always been stiff and not as relaxed as you. So, improve your sit way. And follow me."

Dirga practiced how way Harry sat and talked.

"Then, even if I did not know what your habits are so far. Make sure you don't drink any drinks from the fridge. Because Mr. Harry never did that."

Oscar was taken aback.

"He never did that? And I actually do it every day??
