Best Defense

Back

Franda sat down at the table eating as she chewed her food, continuing to look at her smiling husband while bribing him. Not knowing why Franda suddenly wanted to be spoiled for the man she loved so much. The marriage that has been running for almost 7 years does not reduce his love in the least.

"I'm full!" franda said she refused the food her husband was feeding, he had already spent half a serving of spaghetti on his plate.

"Yes, go up to the room. I'll catch up after I clean this up." said Nino, walking with the dishes, throwing away the leftover spaghetti and then washing all the utensils she used while cooking.

Nino turned around after finishing and saw Franda still sitting on the spot with a sweet smiling face.

"Why not go to the room, honey?" ask Nino.

"I want you to hold me, I forget the last time we did it." replied Franda with eyes glaring and tapping her head with her index finger as if trying to remember something.

"Get it!" Nino immediately bowed for his wife to go up to his back.

Franda immediately slid onto her husband's back and wrapped her hand around Nino's neck.

"Honey, love you!" franda said, She kissed the nape of her husband.

"I love you so much too!" reply Nino, He smiled and continued to climb the stairs one by one.

"Darling.." call Franda.

"Hmm?"

"Can we do it again?" he asked, He thought the marriage relationship was very complicated at this time.

Nino took a breath before replying, He had Franda down in bed.

"Darling, I don't know what to say. I leave everything to you, I don't want you to do it because of me. Do everything that makes you happy and I'll follow you!" nino answered, He tried to calm down and hope the answer did not trigger the anger of his wife again.

"You don't want to be with me? You don't want me to forgive you? You really want us to split up?" franda asked who started to be provoked by Nino's unpleasant answer to him.

"Darling, listen to me! Watch what I say!" Nino was silent for a moment.

"I've been so guilty of you, I'm sorry for that. I lied and cheated, I ensnared you in an unhealthy marriage all this time, I made you suffer the consequences of my stupidity, I don't want you to be tormented while with me, dear..." He fell silent again, trying to string up his next words.

"I really want to be with you, I don't know what my life would be like if we were really apart, just imagine that I wouldn't dare... But I don't want to make you uncomfortable, I'll look even more pathetic if I keep pushing you with me! You got that, honey?" nino explained long enough for his wife to understand.

"I don't feel tormented! I've said many times don't guess my heart! Why are you so annoying!" Franda started to be angry with her husband.

"Darling... I'm not guessing your heart, you said that yourself when you were leaving me! I have to admit it's true, we can't be what we used to be. I'm sorry for you, honey..." Nino lowered her head, her eyes starting to heat up resisting crying.

"You crying?" franda asked, raising her husband's face to look at her.

"Darling, I'm sorry... I'm..." Nino was no longer able to continue her words. The man cried, dropped his body beside the bed and hugged his wife's thigh.

"I regret it so much, it was my stupidity that made us like this, that I couldn't even forgive myself. Why would I do that to you?" Nino felt very guilty, the tightness of chest that he always held now spilled with his tears flowing. He hit his own chest hard.

Franda who could not bear to see her husband like that immediately stopped Nino's hand, She came down from the bed and hugged Nino, She also cried with her husband.

Nino's cry grew even more when she heard that his wife had forgiven him. His wife's heart was so big, she chose to be with him even though he had betrayed her, making Nino feel even more guilty.

"Darling, do you remember my promise when I married you? I promise to be with you under all circumstances, I promise God... We're gonna start over, I forgive you because you're my husband. I'll be with you through this, so forget everything." Franda cupped both of her husband's cheeks and wiped away Nino's tears. He smiled sincerely.

Franda has decided to stay with Nino, she can see her husband's deepest regrets at this time. Nino is still the husband she loves despite the fact that the man has been having an affair, but it does not make Franda able to leave him. Nor can she turn a blind eye to the love given by Nino all this time, Franda considers what is done by Nino is because her husband is also a human who can make mistakes, he is also a man who should forgive mistakes.

"But what about having children? We're not gonna get it... You won't be able to have it with me, honey." said Nino.

"Stop talking about kids, I don't want us to think about it. There's still plenty of time to try it, or we can adopt it later" Franda said calmly.

"You sure?" tanya Nino did not believe what his wife said.

Franda nodded. "I don't mind if I have to live without your children, I married you because I wanted you, not because I wanted children. Although I can't lie that I really want to feel like a mother, but I don't mind it as long as I'm with you." Franda smiled sincerely. His smile made Nino smile as well.

"You know, I'm so lucky to have a wife like you. Again, I'm sorry... Forgive my mistake, dear!" Nino kissed his wife's hand.

"Here you go, don't repeat it again. I wouldn't be this good if you did it again, one time you could still count khilaf but twice it's a disease, and I don't want you to have that disease... Take care of yourself from any woman, you're just mine, honey." Franda slightly threatened and warned her husband.

"I promise, honey!" nino said confidently, He will not waste the opportunity his wife gave him.

"I keep your promise!" franda said as she looked at her husband, Nino nodded.

"Go take a shower, I want to call Mom for a minute" he continued. They stood up and hugged for a moment.

Nino walks into the bathroom while Franda calls Mom.

"Hello, Sweety!" marissa's mother's voice was heard when the first ringing stopped.

"Mom! I called to let you know that I've decided to go back with Nino" Franda said without making small talk.

"Oh, dear... Are you sure?" ask the curious mother at the end.

"Yes, we'll start again. I'm sorry, but I can't leave him." said Franda hoping her mother understood him.

"Oh, come on! That's your life, you have the right to decide. Come here with him tomorrow for dinner." replied Mom without asking much, He knew Franda would tell him later.

"All right, we'll be there tomorrow... Mom, please tell the others not to corner Nino tomorrow." Franda asked.

"Well, I'll tell them. Have you eaten?" ask the woman from the phone.

"Already, Nino cooked for me" Franda replied with a cheerful smile as if her mother could see her.

"Alright then, say hello to her. Don't forget to come tomorrow." said Mother again reminded Franda.

"Ok, Mom! We'll see you tomorrow, bye!" Franda turned off the phone after hearing her mother's reply.
