Best Defense

chapter 35

"I want to live a good life with you, spend some time old with you, that's also why I asked you to stop drinking... The first time you got drunk and stayed at his house I could still understand because I made you that way, but I can't help it now. At that time I was eager to drink and vent my anger on this item, but all my might forced myself not to do it. I don't want to be selfish with you." Nino stood up, accidentally stepping on the broken glass, but he ignored it and walked to pick up a cigarette in his office.

Nino came back and sat down before, lit a cigarette and smoked it. Franda who had been bowed since did not see that blood had been splattered on the floor that Nino stepped on when she went out into her study. The woman did not move at all.

"You asked me to give you some time to have fun and I gave it to you, but look what you're doing? Just once you've been like this, and I reminded you before you left... You know how I felt when my wife went out looking like a wild woman and came home with a man who had accompanied you drunk before? Oh, you won't know because you're so happy with her" said Nino, her heartache can no longer be hidden. Franda must know that he is very disappointed at the moment.

Franda again fell silent, unable to find the right words to answer her husband because what Nino said was true, other than in the happy part with Sean. He didn't feel that one bit.

"I want to take care of you, honey... I don't want you embarrassing yourself out there. What if someone knows you and sees you sitting in a club with another guy while you still have a husband? How am I supposed to deal with my parents or your family?... Everyone will think I can't educate my wife, but you forced me to let you!" Nino went back to burning cigarettes and smoking them a long time ago.

Franda knew Nino smoked, but never smoked in front of her. Even if at any time Franda saw him smoking Nino would have thrown him away immediately, because he knew his wife did not like to see him smoke. Franda had no guts to do anything now, sitting still and listening to Nino was all she could do. She did not want to add to her husband's anger by saying something that could have made Nino even more angry.

"What do you want with your freedom? Do you want to repay me for betraying you and having an affair with Jenny? You asked him to come over there and accompany you?" nino asked, the wound on her leg was not felt at all even though blood continued to flow and flood the floor. His sense of disappointment was greater now than the pain in his legs. While Franda also still does not realize if something has happened to her husband.

Franda shook his head quickly. "It's not so! I have nothing to do with Sean, we accidentally met there, and I was with Mia. I'm sorry, but I really didn't know I was going to see her" Franda said sobbing and her lips quivering for the first time since she had been silent and listening to her husband, tears were now spilled upon hearing the question, or rather the accusations coming out of Nino, and it became even more sad when she looked at her husband's face that looked pale due to the amount of blood coming out of her wound but Franda was not aware of it.

"Then why would he take you home? Too many bad things I think about now, somehow I can trust your words. You left your own house in such clothes, not even bothering to invite me at all when I could accompany you. Then you came home ushered in by a guy I know put your heart on, you might not see him but I know!... I even thought maybe Mia was just your reason for meeting him!" said Nino Long, then drank the whiskey in front of him without pouring it into the glass, he immediately drank from the bottle.

Franda did not believe Nino's words, but she tried to contain her anger and chose not to fight her husband. Their quarrels will be endless if he is tough, there must be one of them who succumbs.

"I'm not lying, honey... I'm telling the truth. I did want to go there with Mia and have no idea if Sean would be there either." Franda replied softly with a pleading gaze at her husband while holding Nino's arm.

Nino brushed off his wife's arm. "I don't know if I should believe you or not, because I don't know what happens when you're with him, I was waiting at home like a fool while my wife was laughing and having fun with other men out there!" nino looked back at his wife.

"Dear, I beg you... Trust me!" franda said begging.

"How should I believe it, the fact that I've had an affair makes me feel like you...." Nino was speechless as Franda suddenly shook her hand.

"Darling... Blood.." said Franda trembling after seeing the blood that flooded the floor even seemed to have almost dried up in some places, the panic increasingly attacked him when he found out where the blood came from.

Franda came down from the sofa and pulled Nino's leg off her lap with her hands shaking violently. Seeing a wide gaping wound on Nino's foot made her even more limp.

"It's okay." said Nino quietly as she slowly pulled her leg.

Franda immediately walked over without listening to her husband who had not even finished talking, came out of the room and ran down after avoiding some broken glass.

"Yes, Ma'am." replied Ma'am Ika who also ran over, He was confused to see his employer who looked very chaotic and frightened.

"Please... That's... Water water... Warm water, I need warm water. Please take it to the room!" franda said stammering, his body still trembling.

"Hey, what's up?" mia asked Franda, and then spoke again as she looked into Franda's messed-up room and blood splattered everywhere. "Oh, God! What's going on?"

"Nino's hurt, please help me clean up the broken glass" Franda said, then went into the room and picked up some items on the dresser to clean her husband's wounds.

Nino approaches Franda, who is ruffling the drawer, to find a P3K box that doesn't know why it suddenly disappeared.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Nino held Franda's panicked arm. He did not feel any pain in his leg at all even though his face was already very pale due to the loss of a lot of blood.

"Sit down, why are you here?" said Franda half-desperately looking at Nino who was standing next to her, tears kept flowing down her cheeks. She pulled the chair on the dresser and told Nino to sit down, then pulled her husband's leg into her lap.

Franda cleaned the blood on Nino's legs using a tissue with her hands still shaking. She grew hysterical when she saw the broken glass left on her husband's legs, stuck when Nino walked earlier.

"Oh, my God!... No, no, no!... How can you not feel this?" franda said in disbelief when he saw Nino's leg.

"I'm fine, honey..."

"Shut the***** up! You can continue to curse me later!" snapped Franda at her husband who continued to say it was okay even though the wound was very large, even with broken glass that was still stuck there. Nino complied and immediately remained silent.

Ika went in and put warm water next to Franda who was sitting between her legs while wiping Nino's feet using a tissue. The housekeeper turned his back at the sight of her employer's terrible wounds. The woman stood up and did not say anything to Franda and Nino, He took a broom in Mia's hand and continued cleaning the room. This was the first time for him to go into his master's room which looked very big because all this time Franda had not allowed anyone to enter there except for He and Nino, to Franda their room was a private space for both of them.

"Mia, please get me some tweezers at the makeup table!" franda said to Mia, who was told to carry it out instantly as fast as lightning.

"It!" said Mia sambip handed tweezers in her hand.

"Take a lot of tissue. I'll pull out the glass, you close the wound immediately after that." Franda ordered and replied to a nod by Mia.

"Hold a minute, this is gonna hurt!" she continued while looking at the pale face of her husband who was smiling at her.

Nino did not feel any pain at all, she was grateful that her expensive whiskey was very helpful to her now. He did not even move a little as his wife pulled the sizable shards of glass from the soles of his feet. He kept smiling at his panicked half-dead wife with tears and trembling hands.
