Best Defense

chapter 28

Franda's family room seemed to be sitting uneasily, not thinking about Nino and Edward speaking outside, Franda was afraid that her brother would do something to her husband because Franda knew her brother so well. He wanted to get out and make sure Nino was okay but was always held back by Mia and Mom, while Dad had left the room and returned to the room.

"Hey, instead of you constantly worrying about your husband, why don't you tell us? So, what's going on?" said Mia who had been holding back her curiosity.

"I can't! I can't leave him, sorry if I let you guys down." Franda looked at Mom and Mia alternately, asking for their understanding.

"Oh, dear... You go through it, don't apologize like that!" replied my mother with a smile.

"Mother knows why you're back with her, it's not easy for you to decide to split up, I know!" mother continued, the woman approached and hugged her daughter.

"Mom, am I being too nice to her?" ask Franda.

"Yes, not only good but also stupid!" Mia instantly snatched and stared at the cynical Franda.

Mother looked round her eyes looking at Mia, protesting with the words of her eldest son.

"Why not teach her a little lesson until she completely repents and doesn't repeat it again" Mia said with emotion.

"No, don't say anything! You don't understand how married life is, so stop rebuking your sister!" mother said firmly, making Mia snort annoyed because it was always considered a child.

"Congratulations, sweety... You know I've always loved you, I'm not happy to see you in trouble. Since you've already made the decision to return with your husband, Mom or anyone else can't ban you, you must know what's best for you, for your marriage. Now you just need to do it well so as not to fall in the same hole." said Mother gave advice.

"There is nothing easy in life, when a problem is solved does not mean that in the future it will be easy to pass, there will always be stones that block your path, he said, watch every step you take so as not to stumble back." continued Mother explained.

"I don't know what it's going to be like, Mom... I just wanted to try it again even though it was hard, I'm sure we could get through it" Franda replied.

"Yes, you are amazing! I'm sure Nino has realized his mistake and won't repeat it. Forget what happened before and start everything well, don't do it because you're afraid you can't live without it, because there we will always be with you. Do it because you are sure you will be happy after this." Mother's words made Franda open her mouth, because what her mother said was exactly what happened to them. Franda was too scared to lose her husband.

"Mom.." Franda's eyes felt hot resisting the crying.

"It's ok! All is well... Now it's all coming back to you, please take it easy and forget everything if you want your life to be happy because there won't be any happiness if it still haunts you. Trust your husband again, don't put too much suspicion on him" Mother said.

"I will, Mom! I can't trust Nino yet again, but I'll try." Franda hugged her mother tightly. He was so grateful to have parents who loved him so much.

Mia only looked at the interaction of the two women before her while occasionally shaking in disbelief. Mia still considers Franda a fool for easily accepting Nino even in just two days.

"You don't want to hug your sister?" franda asked looking at Mia who was pouting.

"I don't want to have a stupid brother like you!" Mia answered the origin.

"But I really want to hug my sister!" Franda again teased her sister, and immediately hugged and kissed Mia's cheek.

"Panda, stop it! You're disgusting!" Mia pushed Franda away, but the woman hugged and kissed her with a laugh.

"Why? I love my sissy!" franda said with a smile.

"Oh, huh? But why don't I ever see you grow up a little? Looks like I still have to teach you again, hm?" Franda is back to flirting. Mia still acts like a child at home because she does not want to lose her moment with her family. Unlike when outside, she will be a woman who knows clearly the purpose of her life.

"Can you just stop it? You look horribly!" snapped Mia. Franda and Mom just laughed at Mia's annoyed look on her face.

"Mia, I miss spending time and making a mess with you, I think we need more time to spend together, don't you?" said Franda fishing.

"Oh, I really wanna punch you on face right now!" Mia rolled her eyeballs, lazily responding to Franda's innocence, while her brother grew louder laughing upon hearing her answer.

Franda has not teased her sister for a long time, since marrying Nino they almost never have time together, although they still meet and chat but not for long because Franda will return to her husband. Mia who also has her own life does not seem to want to bother her brother, she prefers to wait for Franda who is looking for her first.

Edward and Nino enter when three women in the family room are joking. Franda rushed straight at her husband and stared at Edward.

"Are you ok?" franda asked Nino, but his eyes stared intently at Edward.

"He is safe, I'm not gonna kill him. At least not yet!" answer Edward. He smiled at the couple, a smile that was difficult for Franda to interpret.

"I'm fine, your brother isn't that terrible" said Nino smiling, stroking Franda's cheek.

"You wouldn't have said it if you saw it yesterday!" said Franda.

"Already, Honey! Nothing happened outside, we were just talking." explained Nino because nothing bad happened as his wife feared.

"It turns out your brain is still working fine!" franda said to Edward.

"Easy, shit! Your husband is still intact, don't overdo it..." Edward began to get bored with Franda.

Franda and Nino return home when the clock has shown at 9 pm, Mother asks that they stay overnight but is subtly rejected by Franda and promises to stay next time. Franda wants to spend time with her husband, they desperately need time to start a relationship between the two.
