While being engrossed in his daydreams about Franda, Sean hears a voice like Franda crying from his room. He immediately came out of his study and came to Franda.Sean was silent at the door when he heard Franda like she was talking.

"You know what, Ma? I love her so much. I can't get through this, Ma. I don't know what I'm gonna do now. Can you tell me? I want to hear your voice now, please talk to me, Ma! At least call my name once. Why did you leave me alone? You don't love me? I don't even remember ever seeing your face. Have you ever hugged me? Have you ever kissed me? Have you ever read me a fairy tale before bed like Mom?" Franda said long. Then continued after a moment of wiping away his tears, making Sean who was about to go back in silent outside.

"Ma, I'm so grateful to have Mom and Dad. You must know they love me and take good care of me, but I need you now, Ma! I need you here, you and Papa must be looking at me from there, right? You guys must have seen how I am now. I'm ruined, Ma! I'm ruined, Pa! Nino betrayed me right in front of my own eyes. I don't know what to do now, I can't afford to lose it, Ma! I can't! But I also realized it would not be easy to forget his mistake. Ma, please speak! Tell me something!"

After that Sean only heard Franda's roaring voice from inside the room, He let Franda herself enjoy her sadness that night. Sean will not ban it now, Sean wants Franda to vent his heart even though Sean believes Franda is not aware of what he says, Sean believes Franda is the effect of the alcohol he drank earlier.

Sean returns to his study after believing Franda is asleep, and goes on to check on his work.

.

In the morning Franda woke up with a dizzy head, but closed her eyes again. He then recalled the incident yesterday with Sean at the club. He remembers when he tricked the man into getting an extra drink, but Franda could not remember anything more. The last thing he remembers is Sean taking him out of the club and into the car. Franda forces her to collect her memories but to no avail.

Franda realized that the room she was in was not her room. Whose room is this? Franda got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. After washing his face he stepped out and saw no one there.

"Hello, anybody home?" Franda opened her voice while looking around. There's no answer. Then he walked down the stairs.

Franda headed towards the kitchen and saw a glass of orange juice and also a pill at the dinner table. Franda approached and read the paper near the two objects.

"Drink this. You need it to restore your lost brain."

Franda was a little incredulous reading the writing. Whose house is this? Who brought me here? Even so, he still took the pill and also the orange juice. Then he was surprised by Sean's presence from the wrong room under the stairs.

"You're up apparently, Drunkie!" greet Sean with sarcasm.

"Hey, watch your mouth!" Franda replied unhappily at Sean's words.

"I take it as a thank you for saving you last night, your welcome!". said Sean again as he picked up a drink from the refrigerator.

"I'm fine, why thank you?" Franda looked at Sean with a dislike look.

"You won't know, 'cause you left your brains at the club last night." Sean retorted even more sharply with his words.

"Whatchu mean? I didn't ask you to bring me here, you did, but why should I thank you? It's weird!"

Sean only shook his head a few times while clucking and looked at Franda who was walking back to the room.

In the room Franda immediately took the bag and looked for his shoes, but he did not find his shoes there. Then came down and asked Sean who was still sitting at the table eating while playing his phone.

"Where's my shoe?" ask Franda without further ado. He did not like Sean's harsh words before.

"Car." Sean answered briefly.

Sean takes the car keys and follows Franda. There were no more conversations between the two until Franda left the apartment lobby using a taxi.

.

Franda got down from the taxi after paying and immediately walked in after answering the greeting of Adi, the House guard. She stepped in and saw her husband's car still parked in the yard which meant Nino was still home. Franda did not expect to meet Nino with an alcoholic mouth condition, but she had no other choice at this time.

Before entering he took a breath and exhaled slowly, preparing to face Nino who would be very angry if he knew his wife came home early after being drunk all night. Nino does not like things that smell of alcohol, the man never touched it in the slightest, in contrast to Franda who had been accustomed to alcohol since childhood even though he was only allowed to drink when graduating from High School by his father. At Franda's house, alcohol was common. They can drink it anytime as long as they are responsible.

Franda entered and headed straight to the room. When she opened the door she did not see Nino inside, but then heard the sound of water from the bathroom which meant her husband was inside.

Franda put the bag down after picking up her phone, telling Dhea that she was going to be late for the boutique today and asking Dhea to take care of everything as usual. Franda saw 78 unanswered accounts from her husband and dozens of messages but she had no intention of seeing them at all.

Nino came out of the bathroom with a towel and immediately walked quickly when she saw Franda.

"Darling, where have you been? I've been worrying about you all night. Where did you sleep, honey?" Nino asked quickly, and returned to his voice while smelling the scent of alcohol.

"You drunk?" tanyakanya.

Franda did not reply, She just stared intently at her husband and walked to the bathroom, leaving Nino who was looking at him sad and disappointed. Nino is furious to find Franda drunk last night, but she can't do anything about it. He knew it was he who caused it.

Nino again approached his wife when he saw Franda coming out of the bathroom using a bathrobe and rolling her hair in a towel. His wife looked fresher now.

"Dear, can we talk? I'm sorry for hurting you, I know my mistake was huge, honey. I beg you to forgive me." said Nino. He continued when his wife did not answer.

"Dear, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do it, it just happened. I don't love Jenny, baby!" nino said again.

Franda smiled cynically at Nino's words. She did not answer or look at her husband. Franda kept busy with her activities in the dressing room and then walked to the dresser after wearing her clothes, Franda used a maroon-red long-sleeved dress slightly above her knees. Franda looked perfect despite not polishing her face.

"Dear, please say something. Don't leave me like this." Nino seemed frustrated with his wife's silence. This time Franda answered.

"You want me to say what, huh?" Franda answered by folding her hands, staring intently at her husband.

"Anything. You can curse me, hit me, or do anything, but don't shut me up" Nino said.

Franda lowered his eyes, his anger was extremely unstoppable at this moment. He wanted to destroy Nino this second as well, but Franda also realized it would be worth it.

"There's nothing I can say right now. Hitting you is also free, it will not be able to improve the situation. I don't know what to do to you. You betrayed me right in front of my eyes. Do you think there are words I deserve to say to you after all this?" said Franda with fury. Then back to continue his activities in the dresser.

"Darling, I know my mistakes are huge..."

"It's good that you know, now please tell me how to forgive you." Franda cut off her husband's words, speaking without seeing.
