Best Defense

chapter 31

It's been a week since Nino and Franda's failed vacation, nothing special that long. Franda was half-hearted in forgiving her husband despite repeated apologies. Even he ignored Nino who invited him to a romantic dinner to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary yesterday. There is no celebration whatsoever for the two this year because Franda is still upset with her husband.

Franda was checking several orders for dresses and suits when her phone rang, and Mia called.

"Mia, what's up?" franda said after connecting.

"Hey, umm... What are you doing now?" ask Mia from the phone.

"Nothing, just having fun with some stuff at my office. Why?" Franda answered while checking the suit attached to one of the mannequins.

"Oh, okay! Just wanted to call you. Anyway, happy 7th wedding anniversary! Are you guys having a party last night?" mia asked curiously, because usually Franda and Nino must have an event to celebrate every anniversary of their wedding even though only dinner with family, but this time not.

"No, me and Nino have been busy lately. We didn't have time to think about it." replied Franda lying, He doesn't want anyone to know that his relationship with Nino is not good.

"Are you sure? Why do I think there's something happen here?" said Mia fishing, He felt something Franda was hiding.

"Mia, I'm fine, we're fine. There is no problem whatsoever with us, just too busy with work." replied Franda casually, but the look on her face looks sad. Fortunately, Mia could not see it.

"Ok, I called because Mom asked about you, the old man is getting chatty about talking about things related to you, my ears to the pain of hearing him constantly asking for your news. I don't know why he should ask me when he can call you right away, do I?" mia said with a little annoyance.

"Hahaha, I'll call her later. Maybe my weekend and Nino will be home, staying last night seems like it'll be exciting!" franda exclaimed as he walked to the sofa in his room.

"Really's? They must be happy to hear it, I will tell Mom and Dad later." replied Mia with enthusiasm, Franda's intention to visit was very good let alone stay, let alone stay, Mia replied, it will definitely liven up the atmosphere of their home even if only overnight.

"Oh, no, no! Don't say anything, I want to surprised them!" franda said she wanted to surprise her parents.

"Alright, then I'll close..."

"Wait, Mia! You got a show tonight?" franda asked cutting off her sister's words.

"Not yet, why?" Mia was curious, not usually Franda asked her activities.

"How about we have some fun?" Franda offered, She misses her time with her sister.

"Where?" mia asked again, this is a new thing since Franda got married.

"Where! I'm bored at home, want to get rid of saturation a little. You can?" said Franda casually.

"What about your possessive husband?" mia said, She believes Nino will definitely not allow Franda, especially if she knows what is meant by having fun by her brother.

"Just calm down, I'll ask her permission. You just need to prepare yourself!" franda said firmly.

"Alright, but I don't want him to blame me if anything happens, you take it upon yourself." Mia tried to give an early warning to Franda.

"What did I do, huh? We're just having fun! I'm not going to murder someone, Mia!" Franda answered ketus.

Franda shook her head when she heard the sound of the phone connection that had been cut off, her sister was really disrespectful. He went on to check some of the clothes that had stopped while talking to Mia, and then sent a message to the young woman to tell her where they had met.

'Black Cat Jazz and Blues Club Senayan.

I'll be there by 8.

Don't be late!'

That was the message he sent to his sister.

Franda arranged a paper with sketches of the design scattered on his desk, piled into one and put in a drawer, then took the bag and went home after previously saying goodbye to some of his employees. She comes home early to have time to prepare, she intends to dress up pretty tonight even though Yaki Nino definitely forbids her but Franda decides she will leave with or without her husband's permission.

.

Nino was parking her car in the house and was surprised by the appearance of his wife who looked like she wanted to attend a party. Franda was wearing a tight red dress with a string just as big as the pinky of a newborn baby, the dress was really successful in showing the curves of her slender body, her hair was left unraveled. Make-up that make up her face is thin but looks more lit with lipstick that matches her dress, Franda also uses high heels as high as seven centimeters in black to perfect her appearance.

"Honey, where are you going?" asked Nino who was still surprised by the appearance of his wife.

"You're home yet? I want to meet Mia" Franda said as she approached and kissed her husband on the cheek.

"You met Mia with this kind of appearance?" Nino looked at his wife from top to bottom, astonished by Franda's appearance.

"Yes, you promised you'd give me some time, didn't you? Don't tell me I can't come out again this time." said Franda with a raised eyebrow next to her.

"But your looks..." Nino was speechless as Franda cut her words.

"Do I have to use my pajamas so you can let me? Come, Honey! I want to be like this once in a while, after all I'm with Mia not anyone else, hm?" Franda pleaded while shaking her husband's burly arms and face.

"Ok, where are you going to meet?" ask Nino.

"Fun, Black Cat. I'll be home before I hurry, just chatting with Mia won't take long." Franda replied casually, She opened the car and put her bag and blazer in the front, next to the steering wheel.

"Be careful, don't go home too late, and don't get drunk!" nino reminded his wife. He resigned and let Franda go, it was impossible for him to hold Franda because he had promised the woman.

"Note! I'll go first, honey. Love you!" Franda hugged and kissed her husband's lip, then entered the car and drove away, leaving Nino, who was still following her car away with sad eyes. Nino can't do anything to stop his wife, trying to stay calm and reassuring herself that Franda will be fine. His wife could definitely take good care of herself like all this time.

Nino came into the house with a shaky step, he didn't know what to do now. Being at home without his wife was the thing he hated the most, the house would always live by Franda's voice, considering it made Nino feel guilty towards Franda's family. How can they resist longing for Franda while Nino who has not been able to a day.

Franda cheer is able to revive a person, the woman can adjust to anyone and is very easy to be close to others. Nino is not very fond of his wife's charm in that, his lack of being able to have children makes his confidence reduced and it is also that unwittingly makes him curb Franda, who is not able to have children, He was very afraid that his wife would be tempted by a man who could give him something that Nino did not have.

Every day Nino kept trying to make Franda happy so that the woman remained beside him and accompanied him to old age.
