Best Defense

chapter 64

"It looks like your wife is experiencing panic attack symptoms, this is only a temporary assumption, if I'm right, your wife will definitely experience this again later," said a doctor who just finished checking Franda's condition.

Nino frowned, "Panic attack? What disease is it, doc? Is dangerous?" tanya, Nino had never heard of this before.

The doctor smiled and shook his head, "This is not a disease, sir. More of a nuisance that makes a person restless and uncomfortable. This disorder can come anytime and anywhere, can not be guessed at all. Panic attacks are caused by several things, but most of the main triggers are stress. I'd suggest paying more attention to your wife's mentality, sir." explained the doctor. His words hit Nino instantly, it turns out that Franda was also depressed due to their divorce, even though all this time he seemed relaxed to face it.

"How do I treat it, doc?" franda asked as he got down from the gurney.

The doctor named Daniel turned to Franda, "Psychotherapy and also drugs. I'll prescribe antidepressants for you later." said the doctor.

Nino looked at Franda who was walking over, his wife looking much better.

"So, am I going to experience this forever?" Franda seemed to be starting to worry, the incident really tortured him.

Doctor Daniel sighed, his finger busy playing with the pen he was holding, "Only Mother can handle it, in some cases it is not handled well, panic attacks can cause the patient's condition to worsen, such as depression, until it becomes antisocial. I'm hoping you don't get there." explains Dr. Daniel.

Franda is squeezing, he is not ready to face the days that will be tiring in the future when the disorder comes to attack. Nino understood his wife's uneasiness, quickly grasping Franda's hand, strengthening his wife through the warm touch.

"Do you know anyone who can help my wife?" ask Nino.

"Well, I'll recommend a psychologist to your wife" Doctor Daniel turned his gaze to Franda, wrote a paper name and gave it to Franda. "You can consult with him about the panic disorder you are experiencing, he will help you overcome this problem" said Dr. Daniel.

Franda and Nino nodded simultaneously, then both of them parted and passed from the examination room.

"How's it?" mia asked as soon as Franda and Nino got into the car, since she was just waiting in the car, because Franda looked fine when they arrived at the hospital.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Franda lied, She doesn't want everyone to be worried about her condition.

"You sure?" mia asked to make sure, He could not believe it just like that, because Franda looked very sick at home.

Franda nodded with a smile. Smile for Mia to stop asking questions.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd have any trouble dealing with our problems. Why are you so relaxed when you're depressed?" nino said as the car Dika was driving away from the hospital area.

Franda did not answer, his gaze fixed on the streets that are still densely crawling, see what can be captured chocolate beads while enjoying the mind that began to run everywhere.

Arriving home, they were greeted by a worried looking Mom and Mama, Franda took a deep breath. He had to calm the two old men.

Franda smiled slightly, "No, Mom! I'm fine, just exhausted." she replied.

"really? Then why did Ma'am Ika say you were in pain?" Mama Rossa snatched impatiently, really she was afraid something happened to her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Ma. I'm fine." Franda stroked her in-laws' arms gently, then grabbed Ben from Mom's lap. "I'll put Ben to bed in the room." she said before leaving them.

Nino followed Franda's steps, leaving Mama and Mama who seemed unsatisfied with Franda's answer, She had no taste in hearing the old woman's series of questions, enjoying the last moments with Franda and Ben is more exciting than anything.

Franda lies in bed while nursing Ben, while Nino goes straight into the bathroom, she hasn't had a bath since coming home from work because she's been playing with Ben, and has to take Franda to the hospital.

Nino soaks in warm water for 30 minutes, expelling fatigue by relaxing for a moment. Occasionally looking for a way to soften his wife, he would keep trying to the point where the judge knocked on the hammer and declared them officially divorced. But Nino is not ready if you have to part with Franda, anyone will not be ready if you have to part with a loved one.

Nino quickly completed the ritual of soaking, rinsing off the remaining aromatherapy soap that was still stuck under the shower, then came out using only a small towel wrapped around the waist.

Franda had just stood up and wrapped Ben in a deep sleep in bed, shocked as Nino's hand coiled tightly around her stomach.

"Please forgive me, I beg you to cancel our divorce, I really cannot afford to lose you, dear." said Nino softly, his chin resting on Franda's shoulder.

Franda smiled bitterly, I don't know how many times Nino begged like this, but he remained on his decision. Franda took off Nino's hand, turned around and looked in her husband's eyes, "Wearing your clothes, I'll wait at the dinner table." she said as she patted Nino's arm, then walked out leaving the desperate Nino, again Franda did not want to talk to him.

After dinner, Nino returned behind Franda. He follows wherever his wife steps, from starting to move Ben to his room, until now to walk in closet, Nino is reluctant to release Franda for a second.

"Darling, please... Give me one more chance, please forgive me..." Franda did not care, he took out his pajamas from the closet and changed his clothes there, the bodo period with Nino who stood with a face that was clear.

"Darling, I'm going to obey all your will, I promise there won't be any more Jenny in the future, I'm out of touch with Jenny, honey..."

Jenny, that name managed to attract Franda's attention, She was really fed up this time, Franda turned around, looking at Nino with a deadly gaze, "Is this how you solve the problem? You used to promise the same thing, but what? You lick it again, now you throw it back, hoping I forgive you and come back with you, you say it as if you really regret what you did. Huh... You're so sickening!" Franda mocked Nino with her cynical smile.

"Don't make me hate you more, Nino! I've had enough of your behavior, you're apologizing the wrong way. Throwing it away will not solve anything, because you can take it back when you need it, in the end I have to feel the pain again. Please be mature, you must take responsibility for what you do. I can't live like this forever!" Franda slammed her butt on the couch, holding her cheek which was starting to get hot.

Franda took a deep breath, then exhaled violently, her chest began to tighten, "I'm tired of having to fight constantly with you, accept everything manly. It's a consequence of what you did, it wouldn't have happened if you knew your position and remembered me as your wife, no matter how hard she seduced you, you wouldn't have come to her if you really knew where you were."

"I didn't have any relationship with him, me and Jenny have really been over since you first learned about our relationship. Please don't punish me like this, I really can't..." Nino sobbed, both of her hands squeezing the hair tightly, Nino was completely desperate.

"I'm not punishing you, not at all! I'm just freeing myself from a miserable life!"
