The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Kevin Dodges

The intention that was in Regina's heart was not as easy to speak. Regina looked for the right word to give the night's events but her brain was dead. He didn't get the word. Now, Regina felt her chest pounding twice as much as usual.

Regina looked at the streets to calm her heart. He tried to pay attention to his description of the romantic words of two people sitting in front of him. It is undeniable, the words and romantic attitude of two people that makes Regina brain blank.

"Bring the man in front of Papa Re. If you still consider this old man your papa. If not, you can find another way. To be sure, you don't want to be ashamed because you're pregnant without the man's responsibility.".

Regina took a deep breath rereading the message from Mr. Bayu. Actually her heart was very tired thinking about the events of that night until this pregnancy. Her parents did not want to give her time to think. For Mr. Bayu and Siska's mother. Mating Regina with the male seed grower was the best solution.

Regina also believes what her parents think is the best solution. But that is if the man who planted the seed loves himself. To Regina. The solution is misplaced. Kevin doesn't love himself. Don't love seeing yourself not wanting to.

What happens if two people who do not love each other are united in the bond of marriage. Regina must have suffered the most. Regina realizes it so offers to throw the fetus away. A second solution that could keep them from disgrace. But the responses of Regina's parents were beyond estimate. Mr. Bayu and Ms. Siska were furious to hear Regina's wishes. For both Regina's parents. The only way is to marry Regina to the man.

Regina realized that her intentions were evil because the fetus was not sinful at all. But that was all he could do to spare himself from the disgrace. Regina hated the trouble that had befallen her. If both parents did not know about the pregnancy. Maybe Regina has already taken action. But reality says something else. Her parents, Regina, threatened if anything happened to the pregnancy. Regina's parents did not want Regina to commit any greater sin. Regina felt that what happened that night to her was not her wish.

Realizing that he was evil, Regina felt guilty. He gently stroked her stomach as if apologizing to the fetus. In Kevin's car. The sense for her fetus was beginning to grow even though the responsibility of Kevin was not yet clear.

What was done by Regina was noticed by Melati. As a mature woman, Melati of course felt suspicious about the condition of Regina and the attitude of her best friend. Not only this time, she saw Regina stroking her stomach. Sometimes in the room too. Melati did not ask further because she did not want her best friend to be offended. He was very sure if someday his best friend was in need of a confiding friend. That's with him.

Until Kevin's car has approached Melati's home address. Regina has not found the words to express her desire to speak to Kevin. In his heart, he hoped that Kevin would be willing to give a ride to himself to the intersection of the road to his home. Because Kevin's office and the crossroads are unidirectional. Only then did he have a chance to talk to Kevin. To reveal the pregnancy in front of Melati and Kevin it was impossible because Regina could not bear to see her best friend's heart hurt.

What Regina wants is not in line with the reality that is happening. Because Kevin is completely unprepared with himself in one car without Melati.

"Mas Kevin, if you go straight to the office. My best friend could not be delivered to his house. Jasmine is less healthy mas."

"Sorry baby. Actually I'm tired and want to rest in your house for a while. Just order a taxi online to drive him home."

For some reason, Regina felt her heart throbbing pain hearing her best friend's kindness and Kevin's subtle rejection. Regina could catch if the words spoken by Kevin were not because really tired but because they wanted to avoid him. Sensing that, Regina was angry. Suppose not his best friend who became a lover of the man can be sure he will say what happened that night far from today.

"Re, is it okay to take a taxi?" ask Melati.

"Can donk Re. I'm even happy if you want to see my mama" Melati replied with a smile.

Behind the wheel. Kevin tried to hide the anxiety of his heart. He was very sure that Regina wanted to say something to him and Kevin didn't want to hear anything from the woman. He was looking for a way so that there would be no gap for the woman to talk to him.

"Darling, I forgot. My mom's birthday is one week away. You want to not accompany me looking for a gift?"

Eventually Kevin found that way to get away from Regina.

"Now?"

"Yes.'

"She was tired."

"I just remembered, baby. Again Pula with you accompany, I will be able to relax. And I didn't have much time to find that gift. And it seems like for this one week I can't pick you up baby. It's okay, right?"

"It's okay donk mas. Yes uda deh. I will accompany you. Re, are you staying at my house?. We'll go straight away?" ask Melati. Regina did not know what to answer other than to nod her head. He was too embarrassed to follow the lovers looking for gifts.

Kevin stopped his car right in Melati's yard.

Regina who had meant by hitchhiking in the man's car looked heavy to get down.

"Re, it's here. Please remind Aunt to prepare mama later in the afternoon for treatment. Because after looking for a gift. Me and Kevin are gonna take mom to the hospital."

Regina looked at her best friend's face for a while then turned to Kevin. He hoped that the man could see if the changes were happening within him that were containing his seed. Hearing Kevin clucked upset because he did not come down making Regina finally open the car door and then go down. For whatever. Regina felt her heart ache to see Kevin's attitude.
