Best Defense

chapter 39

Time passed quickly, slowly but surely everyone had returned to the life they were supposed to live. Franda had returned to work in her shop after some time enjoying the sadness of her father's departure. The accident that hit his father was a hit-and-run incident, but no one saw at that time because it was still too early for people to move. Edward, Mia, and Mother had also begun to accept the calamity that befell them. Release sincerely is the only way to be able to stand and not return to running life.

Franda and Nino's house is now more crowded because since his father died Franda asked Mom and Mia to stay with him, while Edward remained at the old house. Actually, he also asked Edward to stay at his house, but his brother refused on the grounds that no one would take care of their house if he also moved.

Mama Rossa who used to rarely visit, now more often come to spend time with the iron, and even sometimes stay there which of course makes the two closer. Nino's relationship with her stepfather who is currently abroad for work has also begun to improve due to Franda's encouragement. Everyone who had been busy with their own affairs now became more concerned with each other. The increasingly crowded home conditions also make Franda and Nino have to add household assistants.

If previously there were only Ma'am Ika and Adi who helped them both, now there is Miss Diana and Sora who helped both. Miss Diana was actually quite old, her age had already stepped on the head of four, but her carefree and coquettish attitude made the childless widow appear younger. Miss Diana's name comes from her real name, Misdiana. She refused to be called 'Mbak' and said she would look more modern if she was called Miss, making everyone laugh as she said that.

While Sora is a shy and talkative 19-year-old girl, a little slow at catching things but always deft at work. He will be difficult to understand if invited to talk about other things outside of his job.

Franda woke up and looked at her husband who was fast asleep while hugging him. Unconsciously she smiled, she was so lucky to have a husband like Nino. Despite his shortcomings, Nino is the dream man of all women, a handsome face and a good personality is the most sought after by every woman, although not infrequently those who seek wealth, and Franda was lucky Nino had all that.

After being satisfied to look at her husband, Franda shifted slowly and let go of Nino's embrace so as not to wake the 32-year-old man up. He walked into the bathroom with his innocent body while picking up their clothes scattered on the floor due to their hot activity last night. Well, every night to be precise.

Franda came out of the bathroom using a bathrobe and a towel that rolled her hair, got closer to the bed and woke her husband, "Honey, wake up!" he said as he patted Nino's cheek gently.

Nino squirms, "Hmmm... What time is it?" asked Nino with a typical hoarse voice of waking up, her eyes still closed.

"Hour 6.40" Franda replied after seeing the clock hanging on the wall.

Nino opened her eyes and pulled her closer and landed a kiss on Franda's lips, "Good morning!" he said after taking off his kiss.

Franda smiled, "Morning! Take a shower, I'll get your clothes ready" Franda said, taking her phone to see if there were any incoming messages.

Nino got up and walked straight to the bathroom. He came out after about half an hour spent inside, cleaning himself while enjoying warm water and soak for a while in the bathtub.

"Honey, yesterday I asked Erika to send money to your account, have you logged in?" nino asked his wife.

Franda who was drying her hair with a hairdryer glanced at him in a flash, "I haven't checked it yet, for what?" tanyakanya.

Nino grabbed Franda's shirt on the bed, "Wear to buy something, not for me but for you" Nino said, He deliberately said that because his wife always spent the money to buy Nino something, but repeatedly told Franda to spend the money and buy something she needed, but his wife said she didn't need anything.

Franda frowned, "I don't need anything" she replied as she continued to dry her hair.

"I also have money from the boutique, if I use your money what about my boutique income? I want to enjoy my own work." replied Franda, He turned off the hairdryer and put it back in the drawer.

Nino took a breath, his wife was very difficult to talk to about this. Many times Nino says that Franda used the money, but was always rejected by the woman, "Honey, please remember my position as your husband. What's the point of me working if you won't enjoy it? What am I supposed to do with my stumped savings? Wear it, or ask me something when you want something" Nino pleaded.

Franda looked at her husband, she smiled and approached to help Nino put on her tie, "Okay, I'll tell you if I need something. Don't keep forcing me to spend your money, I don't know what to buy with it, but in the future I'm going to ask you" she said as she put on her husband's tie.

Nino was overjoyed to hear his wife's reply, "Are you?" ask her with a smile like sumringah just won a tender of billions of rupiah.

Franda nodded, "Yes, I don't want my husband to constantly sulk just because I don't want to use his money and choose to give it to another woman, hahaha" Franda replied with a laugh.

Nino felt insinuated by the words of his wife, his face became sad to remember the incident when he had an affair with Jenny a few months ago, he gave a lot of stuff to Jenny at that time. Franda who saw the change in her husband's expression immediately realized his words had made the man remember his mistake in the past, "Darling, sorry I was just joking" he said while holding Nino's cheek.

"It's okay, I just regret my stupidity first, I don't know why I did that to you." Nino tried to smile.

Franda wrapped her hands around Nino's neck and kissed her husband's lips, "Don't discuss it again, I've forgotten it" she said after pulling her lips loose. Both smiling.

A small chat accompanied the two who were preparing in the room, Franda continued her activities polishing the make-up that looked natural on her face while Nino checked the phone to see some emails sent by Erika. After they finished they went down and joined with Mother Marissa, Mama Rossa, and Mia who had already sat at the dinner table.

Three other women at the table looked at Nino holding Franda's hand as if she would roll if she didn't hold it.

"Good morning!" he said greeting them with a smile, He pulled a chair for Franda to sit on.

Franda who was just about to sit down felt nauseous when she smelled the aroma of Miss Diana's chicken fried rice that so pierced her nose. He immediately covered his mouth with his hands and ran towards the sink while being accompanied by everyone's astonished gazes.

Nino who followed his wife also looked confused, "Darling, are you okay?" she asked after Franda spewed out the rest of her stomach for dinner last night.

Franda washed her mouth and held onto her stomach which still felt a little nauseous, "Yes, I'm fine." she replied limply, making Nino worried because her wife's face looked very pale. The make-up Franda had used was also unable to cover her pale skin.

Nino leads the limp Franda back to the dinner table, but again Franda feels like letting out her entrails as she approaches and smells the fried rice. Franda closed her mouth again and returned to the sink, she continued to vomit until nothing else had to be removed from her stomach.

Mother and Mama who saw it was suspicious of Franda's nausea, the two old women looked at each other and smiled as if they understood the contents of each other's hearts. While Mia only put on a disgusted face when she saw Franda vomit in the sink, her appetite disappeared instantly.
