Best Defense

Something Happen's.

...Sean Danial Warner POV's....

"What about the psychiatrist, John? Can we try it?" I finally opened my voice, breaking the silence that whack for a few moments.

Edward shook his head weakly, his eyes closed while his hands wiped his face. Before answering me, he let out a desperate breath. "The pandas will not accept it. He was fed up with such meetings."

I raised my eyebrows hearing it. "But he needs help. Are we just going to wait and watch every time he comes back in trouble?" i'm upset. I gritted my teeth and tried to regulate my emotions. "Damn, I wouldn't do that, John. How could I possibly be able to leave it like that? Seeing him in a state of chaos while I just kept quiet and watched him, acting cuckoo as if I had gotten used to the sight? For God's sake, I can't." I realized my voice was shaking as I spoke, my eyes were also blurry as tears began to appear.

"What else can we do? We have repeatedly tried to take him to a psychiatrist, so Dad had time to arrange a counseling schedule at home, but Panda refused. He didn't want to see the psychiatrist for even a minute, and then he would shut up for days, get angry, and eventually make his condition worse." Edward sniffles. Talking about something unpleasant in the past is painful, it will feel like repeating it again.

"Trust me. We've tried all the ways we believe we can help her, but. The only way to save him is to make him accept the situation, he has to help himself. Because whatever we do will be in vain if Panda can not accept the fact that he is indeed problematic. The panda himself must be conscious, Sean."

I kept quiet and listened while trying to understand what he meant. Everything Edward said was confusing, but I knew he was completely right. In this case, only Franda could help herself.

I was just about to say something when the door opened. We turned our heads at once and there Mia stood trembling, looking terrified as she looked at me, then suddenly sad as her gaze moved on Franda. Mia covered her crying mouth with one hand while the other hand squeezed the end of her sweater tightly.

I glanced at Edward at a glance, he raised both eyebrows stating he was asking my permission, then I responded with a nod. He moved closer to Mia and directly pulled her into a hug.

Watching the two grieving brothers, made me soften a little. Trying to forget everything and get through this together. I can't possibly avoid Mia forever, however she remains Franda's family, which means part of my family as well.

I also realized that Mia was not entirely guilty considering she herself had a mistake in deciphering Franda's presence in their family. Just like Edward said, Mia was too small to understand the situation and there was no one to help her at the time. Edward's influence also could not be that big to be able to make him really understand the situation.

I stood up to greet Mia, smiled at her and hugged her. He did not return my embrace, his body still trembled, then I rubbed his head, expressing a sincere apology. "I'm not going to kill you, Mia. Franda would send me to hell if I really did." I muttered, joking a little so that she would feel calm.

I pulled away from him. "Whoever he. Franda must miss you." I said again, then shifted a little to the left, giving him a way.

A line of thin smiles appeared at the corners of her lips, she caught a glimpse of me, nodded her head, then sat down beside Franda.

For a moment Mia was silent, her eyes were staring at Franda guiltily, and the next second she sobbed. Guilt and sadness came to me when I saw him like that. The fear of losing Franda that attacked me a few days ago had made me lose my mind and vent it on Mia, and I was unconsciously looking for other people's mistakes to make myself feel better.

Mia was still crying, while me and Edward kept sighing many times. The sight before us was not something pleasant to look at, it was more agonizing than any kind of problem that ever existed. Two women we care about are suffering and blaming each other for the harsh reality.

One woke up and cried hysterically, while the other lay helpless with the body filled with tools that support his life. Really, nothing is more heartbreaking than this.

Even if there is something to blame right now, then I will blame God because he gave us this complicated life. This would not have happened if God had allowed Franda's parents to live with her. But, I can't possibly blame God because I myself feel happy with Franda because of that. It was all that bitter reality that finally got us to meet and get married.

I have too much to explain in this case, and not everyone will understand what happened to us, nor will everyone be able to go through this like us. Think wisely and realistically, take the lessons that are in it, then step back together. Unite against all odds until we get to the finish line and celebrate the victory afterwards. I don't know when we'll reach that line, but I'm sure that time will come.

I looked back at Mia who was still sobbing, no words came out of her mouth, until she finally stopped crying.

Mia grabbed Franda's hand with her trembling hand. "Panda," she said, her voice quivered and she cried again.

"I'm sorry."

That was all that came out of his mouth. The rest of Mia was just crying, choosing to vent her guilt through crying, hoping that Franda would hear it, just like what I was expecting now.

Then suddenly I gasped as my eyes caught something on Franda's face. I hurried to make sure. At that moment my mouth was wide.

Franda crying. He had just shed a tear, and slowly his tears were rushing more and more. This is the happiest moment that has ever happened in my entire life, I don't expect any other day to be more joyous than today.

"Hey." Me, Mia, and Edward greeted her as she opened her eyes. Makes her a little surprised by our suddenly loud voice.

Franda. I moved to the other side of the hospital bed while Edward stepped out to call the doctor. I clasped his hand, kissed him several times. "How are you, baby?" ask me impatiently, waiting for him to answer me or just smiling back my greeting.

But something strange happened, he didn't answer me. Franda looked at me confused, her forehead wrinkled. The same thing was seen on her face as she turned to look at Mia. Then suddenly I flinched. Like a rock weighing tens of tons, suddenly my heart stopped beating and my blood stopped flowing. My whole body froze when he made a sound for the first time. I squashed in the most natural way.

"Who are you?"
