Best Defense

chapter 65

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

"really? You feel like our marriage is pathetic?"

"Then, what's his name? Somehow your view, but I feel like it's from my angle. You may not feel it, because you're not the victim here. You don't think I'm tormented thinking about our divorce? Do you think I've easily decided to end this? Not thinking about how Ben's fate will be? I thought about it, really thought about it!" Franda stood up, turned her back to Nino, folding both of her hands to her chest.

"You take everything too lightly, it's not a trivial matter when it comes to betrayal. I was thinking you'd change after Ben came to our midst, improved and didn't repeat it, but I was wrong, if the Ben we've just so hard-earned can't help you hold back, I'm not sure there's anything else that could change you."

Franda approached Nino, She felt she had to end this gently. The quarrel will not end if they continue to be tough. He sat right next to the sobbing Nino, pulled Nino's face to face him.

"Listen to me, we have to stop everything, there's nothing more to fix in our marriage, it's over. I try not to blame anyone, I'm also wrong for trusting you too much. Stop begging me, because it's useless, baby." said Franda, the removal of Nino's tears that flowed with her thumbs. Forcing his lips to smile, and pulling Nino into his arms.

"I'm sorry for all that I've done. It's not easy for me either, but I believe we can through this, you'll always be in my heart. I'm so grateful to have known you, you've taught me so much. Also, you give Ben, he is such a best thing that ever happened to my life, to our life" Franda said truthfully. He could not deny that he had also felt happy with Nino, although it had to end horribly.

Nino returned Franda's embrace tightly. He will not be able to shake Franda again, no matter how hard he tries, their divorce will still occur. Now they just have to count down, enjoy the last days as a husband and wife, before finally really parting ways and moving on with each other's lives.

Franda nodded, "I promise, but can't keep it all..." Franda took off her embrace, smiling at Nino. "We can be best friends anytime, there's Ben among us, I can't possibly break up with you. But I'm not sure I can keep the others, what if one day I get married again? You don't think I'm gonna be widowed forever, do you?" huh, widow. He said it so casually, as if he was ready with a new status that will be held later.

"You're planning on getting married again?" Nino does not accept, he is not willing to witness Franda living with someone other than himself.

Franda chuckled, "Of course! Do you think I'll mourn our divorce forever? I'm a grown woman, but that doesn't mean I don't need someone to be with me. I don't want to live as a widow until old age and die alone. Huh, how pathetic!" franda said with a laugh.

Nino smiled, "Maybe I will die alone, I have no intention of remarrying if not you,"

"Don't expect too much, I can't promise you anything."

Nino nodded, He no longer wanted to prolong their debate and ruin the moment. He resigned to everything that happened, if indeed separation is the best way for them, then He must accept it. Nino realizes it is impossible to force Franda to continue with him if Franda is unhappy, it is better to let go now and fight back later.

"Can we enjoy tonight one last time?"
