Best Defense

chapter 33

Time goes on without feeling. Franda, Mia, and Sean are still busy chatting in a cafe that is getting crowded with visitors. Live music played by local bands that had been relaxed was also increasingly hard to tempt anyone to join sway, not least Franda and Mia. Both of them looked drunk, the beer which was originally only 3 bottles kept growing, not knowing how much they had drunk. Sean wasn't too drunk because he wanted to make sure the two women he was with were safe. He just sat watching Franda and Mia dancing while laughing cheerfully.

Sean glanced at the watch in his hand which showed it at 11:30 p.m. He walked up to Franda and whispered in her ear.

"Let's go home!" take Sean to Franda.

"What?" apparently Franda did not hear it because the sound of music is loud.

"Let's go home! It's almost 12 o'clock." replied Sean half-screaming.

"A little while more" said Franda with eyes that began to turn red.

"You're drunk, let's go home!" sean said pulling Franda and Mia together towards their table.

"What's wrong?" mia asked in surprise as Sean pulled her suddenly.

"You should go home, wait here for a second." Sean left the two and walked towards the cashier to pay for all their orders, then returned after.

"Come on!" Sean again pulled Franda and Mia who staggered, He really bothered to take care of the two women who were nobody to him.

After arriving at the parking lot he immediately put them in his car, making the two confused.

"Hey, I'm taking the car!" said Mia.

"You want to go home drunk? I'll drop you off, just tell me your address." replied Sean a little riled up. Somehow he felt he had to make sure both of them were safe.

"But how's my car? Dad's gonna chop me up if he finds out I'm home without a car!" Mia opened the door wanting to get out but Franda immediately stopped.

"You sleep in my house, let Sean drive us." Franda replied in a heavy voice. His head was completely dizzy from the alcohol he drank.

"Oh, no, no! Your husband is more terrible than Dad. I'd better just go home!" said Mia with the same condition as Franda.

"Hey, just relax! Nino my husband is no one else. What are you afraid of? Sean please take us to my house" Franda said as she moved her body to see Sean sitting in front. While Mia was just quiet and resigned.

"Yes!" sean replied a little annoyed, He looks like a driver.

Sean immediately drove the car to Franda's house, He did not need to ask for an address because he already knew, several times he picked up Franda there when they would discuss about Nino and Jenny first. Occasionally he glanced at the two people behind him who were talking indistinctly, laughing without realizing that disaster would come soon.

"Panda, when was the last time we were like this?" mia asked her sister.

"I forgot, hahahaha. We used to run away when Mom and Dad were in the room, having fun and coming home at dawn. Hahahahah." said Franda open up as she reminisced about her past with Mia.

"Yes, you remember when Edward found out that she was very angry, but Dad blamed her for not being able to take care of us, hahahha" Mia said, laughing.

"Yes, yeah! I remember that! Oh, poor Edward! Ahhaha..." Franda laughed again. However, he was silent when he heard Mia's question.

"Panda, are you sure you're okay?" ask Mia.

Franda. "I don't know. I don't understand myself either. Uhhh..." Franda rubbed his face rough.

Mia approaches and hugs her sister, the last time she saw Franda grieving was a few months ago when Nino was caught cheating on her with Jenny, after which she looked fine. Even his relationship with Nino also seems to have returned to what it used to be.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I'm sure you can get through it. Dad always said 'You can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs'!..."

"You can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs'!..." Franda followed Mia's words, the two immediately laughed while hugging.

Sean honks Adi to open the fence, the guard is confused to see the foreign car that will enter his employer's house at midnight, but opens it as soon as Sean opens the glass and tells Franda in the car.

Sean wakes up Franda and Mia who are asleep in the back, but there is no reaction from them. The two women fell asleep to the effects of drinking too much alcohol. Sean went down and rang the bell, before long Ma'am Ika came out with a half-sleepy face.

"I'm sorry, what's needed?" ask Mama Ika.

"Franda and her sister fell asleep in the car, can you please call her husband?" answer Sean politely.

Ma'am nodded and went straight in. Some later he returned with Nino with a face that looked very angry.

Without further ado, he punches Sean to make the man fall down but Sean does not retaliate.

"Hey, relax! Your wife is drunk and asleep in my car!" sean said as he wiped the blood on the tip of his lips.

Nino who heard that was getting more and more emotional. He was worried waiting for his wife who had not come home, and suddenly came a man he did not like saying that his wife was drunk and was in the man's car. His mind had drifted everywhere, plus he had seen Franda's other appearance than usual. Nino could no longer hold back her jealousy.

"What are you doing with my wife, huh? Why is she coming home with you?" nino snapped while gripping Sean's shirt collar.

"Wow, I didn't do anything to her! We accidentally met at the cafe, and there was his sister there too, they both slept in my car on the way here." replied Sean, He took Nino's hand off his shirt.

Nino immediately walks into Sean's car and sees Franda is indeed with Mia there. He said he saw the two look messed up.

"Darling, hey... Honey, get up!." said Nino, patting his wife's cheek a few times. The woman squirms, then smiles when she sees her husband.

"Darling, I miss you." said Franda, hugging her husband. He was not aware of what was happening, he was really drunk.

Nino who saw his wife like that felt very disappointed, but it was impossible to also scold her now. He immediately held a smiling Franda while smirking her cheek.

"Please bring my sister-in-law inside. Ma'am, show him the guest room." said Nino commanding Sean and Mommy Ika, Sean snorted annoyed but still did.

Nino put her in bed, took off her shoes and changed Franda's clothes.

He wanted to go out to see Sean and apologized for thanking his wife, but his steps stopped when Franda pulled him over.

"Darling, I miss you." she said spoiledly.

"You're drunk, get some rest..." Nino releases Franda's hand and leaves her in the room.

Sean was about to get into his car when he heard Nino call him.

"Sean? You're Sean, right? Sorry for my attitude, and thank you for bringing them here" Nino said after confronting Sean.

"Yes, you're welcome!" sean answered briefly. He opened the car door, and again Nino made a sound.

"Your face is no stranger, have we met before?" nino asked, He just noticed Sean and felt he had seen him somewhere, but Nino did not know where.

"No, I don't know you!" sean said he lied, He did not want to linger to talk to Nino by saying that they were from the same campus.

"You sure?" asked Nino still can't believe, he was very sure he had met Sean.

"Yes!" Sean got into the car and drove straight after leaving Nino's house.
