Best Defense

chapter 46

A doctor came out of the ER room, "Franda Atmaja Wirawan's mother's family." he called.

"I'm her husband, doc. How's my wife doing?" nino asked frantically as soon as she heard the doctor mention his wife's name.

The doctor smiled faintly, "Everything is fine, lucky to be quickly taken to the hospital. Looks like your wife is depressed, please think about the next one so as not to stress her." he replied, making Nino feel slapped.

"In the meantime, you can move her to the treatment room, the nurse will tell you the rest. I'm sorry." the doctor left Nino and Mia.

Mia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor's explanation, grateful that her brother and future nephew were fine.

.

Franda woke up, blinked a few times, looked around to find out where she was.

"Darling, are you awake? Is anyone sick?" nino asked, his voice startling his wife who was lying weakly in the hospital bed.

Franda shook her head, throwing a look from her husband's face. As soon as the tightness burst into his chest, his face began to heat up withstanding the anger, disappointment, and tears that began to appear in his eyes.

"Darling..."

Franda was still speechless, her hand moving releasing Nino's grasp. Then she lay down and turned her back to her husband.

"Darling.." call Nino again.

"Why aren't you with him? Why do you bother taking care of me here?" said Franda cynically.

"Darling, this is just a misunderstanding! I have nothing to do with him anymore. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I'm really done with Jenny" Nino said.

"I don't care about your reasoning, what I see is enough to explain what happened! You know, once a bastard would be forever a bastard. I'm sorry I believed you, regretting my stupidity when I accepted you back, I should have left you a long time ago!" Franda turned to stare at her husband who was looking down. Slowly trying to get up and sit on top of the hospital bed, brushed off the hand of Nino who wanted to help her.

"If I had been too easy for you, I wouldn't be anymore. Twice falling in the same hole will not make me repeat the same way up, I do not know what the end will be like, considering there is my son who will be a victim because of your humiliation. But one thing you must remember, I will not let go of you and that j*lang again. You must feel the pain I have received again because of your actions!"

Nino is unable to say anything in self-defense, she realizes how Franda's position when she sees him hugging Jenny, any wife will be angry if she sees such a scene, she and Jenny have been in a relationship in the past. He was eager to explain to his wife why they had met in the hospital, but that was not possible because Franda was angry right now. Any defense was unfavorable to him, every word that came out of his mouth would only backfire.

"You know? I used to not not realize Sean liked me, I know very well, but I refrained from being tempted by him when I could have run and chased after him, especially when my husband was crazy about *'***** who doubles as your secretary! Sean was a handsome, kind man, and he kept me company as long as I pretended to be a good wife before exposing your rot, he was there comforting me every day so I could forget the pain in my heart." Franda wiped away the rough tears that kept streaming down her face, remembering Sean made her miss the man a little. Her smile is a little bit fluffy.

"I know he's not a real detective, he helped me because he used to like me. Sean is a man who only looks at me even today, if I want it to be so easy for me to come to him, even now he will accept me with pleasure. We can live happily because I know very well how she feels about me, at least she keeps my name until now, she stays true to her love even though I'm married to you."

Nino was aghast to hear it, looked up and stared in disbelief at his wife.

Franda smiled again imagining what if she married Sean. Yes, the fact about Sean was known to Franda when Dhea told her in the boutique the day before Franda entrusted her business to the woman on the last day she was there after becoming pregnant.

"Sean is a warm man, in addition to handsome and rich. Even his wealth is far above yours. He can give me everything. But I don't accept it, I just stay away from it and stick with you, I keep myself from doing things that might bring you down, I respect you as my husband! But you destroyed me so many times when I always glorified you, again and again you threw me to pieces! You know how my heart is right now, I can't even feel it anymore. Twice you repeat it to the same person, twice, honey..." Franda emphasized her last words so that her husband would understand her pain.

Franda took a deep breath, her dizziness back on the attack. He raised the head of the gurney and leaned there. His gaze was fixed on his distended stomach, rubbed slowly and gently, his tears continued to flow profusely even without the sound of crying from his mouth.

"I don't know how we're going to go forward, which obviously parting is not possible at the moment. I don't want my son to live without Dad, just let me take it, I'll live with the pain you gave me for my son. Be a good father at least for your child, do not try to fix what happened between us, in the future just think of our child, he does not deserve to be a victim of your mistakes. Please, learn to be a good father." said Franda calmly.

The raging feeling in his heart at this moment could not stem his tears. The woman continued to cry until the sound of the door of the room opened, seen Mother who did not know the problem they were staring in wonder at the two. Franda hurriedly wiped away her tears, and smiled at her mother.

"Hows it? Is it okay?" mother asked to approach her purty, glimpsed by Nino who was bowed limp opposite her.

Franda nodded, "I'm fine, Mom!" he answered while forcing his smile. After all Franda did not want her problem with Nino to be known to everyone, not now. Maybe later when he's ready to share it.

"What's going on?" mother asked looking at her daughter and daughter-in-law, demanding an answer. Because all this time Franda is fine, if her daughter had bleeding there must be something that triggers it.

Franda stroked her mother's wrinkled hands, smiling sweetly soothingly, "Nothing, I'm just exhausted, Mom!" franda replied without removing her smile.

Marissa's mother did not reply anymore, she knew her daughter very well, she was very sure something was hidden by Franda. Mother let him and took out a box of Japanese food that she bought while on the trip earlier. "Here, eat. You've missed your lunch, don't forget your content, Sweety. He still has to eat even if you're not tasteful" said Mother as she offered the food she was carrying.

Nino gasped to hear Mom say, his wife did not even have lunch and it must have been because of the hospital incident earlier. Nino bowed, his gaze blankly towards the floor, thinking how to convince his wife.

Franda's effort forced the food brought by his mother into his stomach, He did not want the woman who had been taking care of him was worried about his condition, moreover, the baby in the stomach now requires nutritional intake. Put the food box on the table after spending half of it.

"I'm full, Mom!" she said when Mom forced her to finish her meal.

Mom relented, closed the food box and put it in a plastic package.

"Where's Mia?" ask Franda to Mom.

"Mia is taking some of your needs, dear." answered Nino quickly before Mother, trying to melt the atmosphere so that her in-laws are not suspicious.

Franda did not respond, She just kept quiet and nodded without turning her eyes to her husband.

Nino's ringing phone startled the three who were busy with their thoughts, Franda glanced at a glance and found the look on her husband's face wrinkled at her phone, making her suspicious. Nino turned off her phone and put it back in her pants pocket.

Before long his phone rang again, feeling it was important Nino took a break from his wife and in-laws to get out to pick up the phone. Franda is getting suspicious, not usually Nino away to pick up the phone even though the business.

"Who contacted him? Is that j*lang again?" ask Franda in her heart.

"Well..." Franda let out a rough breath while throwing her head into the hospital bed.

The mother who heard that immediately panicked, "Why? Is anyone sick?" ask Mom with a worried look.

Franda shook her head quickly, then smiled clumsily. He did not realize if his sigh was heard by Mother. "No, Mom, hehehe" he replied.
