The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 24

Every married woman wants a happy and lasting marriage. And so is Regina. Regina wants a happy marriage. No matter the marriage of her and Kevin because of misfortune and do not care about their marriage without love.

Regina will try hard to make Kevin accept himself and the fetus. Like her who can't forget Reza, Regina thinks that's what happened to Kevin. Regina tried to understand her husband's attitude for now. But if Kevin acts at will. Regina did not accept.

Kevin's words about his love for Melati are taken for granted by Regina. Regina thought, Kevin said that because her husband has not been able to forget Melati. It's only natural, because they broke up not because of Melati's fault or because Kevin loves other women. They broke up because they had to. Kevin's unintentional actions towards her make the end of their relationship.

Regina also does not believe that someday, Melati still accepts Kevin if she is divorced from Kevin. As a friend, Regina knows the character of her best friend. Melati is not a selfish woman let alone happy over the suffering of her own best friend. Melati is a woman who thinks widely and has been proven by her willingness to let go of Kevin to account for his actions to Regina.

Regina was still standing in front of Kevin. Really, she needs Kevin's help to open the dress. Otherwise, Regina would have been forced to tear the dress apart so that it could escape her body.

Regina's body turned to Kevin. Regina was really hopeful, Kevin's heart was touched and unzipped her dress. Regina also hopes that with her words Kevin can reflect and finally open his heart to this marriage.

Behind his body, Kevin stood staring at the back of the woman he hated. Kevin clenched in anger with Regina's words about Melati who would no longer be willing to her. Kevin really thought about it.

Five minutes waiting, Regina never felt a hand holding the zipper of her dress. Regina decided to tear the dress apart. Regina had just stepped on her leg but then Regina felt Kevin's hand grab her shoulder a little rough. Regina finally felt relieved. Kevin is willing to unzip his dress despite the forced and rough. Regina almost fell forward because of her husband's rough movements.

"Thank you ka.sih."

Regina could feel her husband's body move away from her after unzipping her dress. Regina turned her body. Sure enough, Kevin walked straight up to the living room.

Regina's been in the bathroom for a long time. The sultry feeling of not showering last night has now changed with the fresh taste felt by Regina until the hunger makes Regina out of the bathroom.

Regina certainly did not expect to be spoiled like a wife in general on the first day of the wedding. Regina didn't expect that. Regina knew she had to try herself in the house if she wanted anything. Regina just hopes that Kevin respects himself and thinks he exists.

Regina came out of her room. His stomach was getting impatient to fill up immediately. Actually Regina can buy breakfast but Regina wants to eat her own food. Regina's headed for the kitchen. He thought that Kevin must have been shopping for the needs of both of them in the house. Regina plans to cook whatever ingredients are in the kitchen later.

Turns right. Kevin is shopping. In the dining room Kevin was already sitting in front of the dining table and in front of him a bowl of chicken porridge stirred Regina's appetite. Maybe because of hunger or really like, Regina almost hatched the saliva just look at the appearance of chicken porridge. Regina realizes that Kevin can see himself wanting the chicken porridge but not offering it to her at all.

Regina was conscious and knew. He couldn't possibly ask for some chicken porridge because Kevin wouldn't want to share it with himself even with the reason of the fetus..

Regina kept her feet up to the kitchen. The kitchen was a little messy as a sign that Kevin really cooked his own chicken porridge. What's wrong with cooking for two people because it won't make Kevin even more tired. But it's true, Kevin showed his dislike for Regina.

Regina wanted to make the same breakfast for herself. And to fill his stomach. Regina made tea for herself.

Regina was shocked when she opened the refrigerator. There is no ingredient in the refrigerator, even the refrigerator can be said to be empty because there are only health drinks in it even a little. When viewed from the state of the kitchen is a little messy. Kevin just cooked there.

It's totally outrageous but Regina's trying not to make that a problem. Regina finally typed an order on her phone for breakfast this morning.

"For your shopping one month. Enough or not enough is none of my business."

Kevin put a thick envelope that was thrown rough on the table.

Regina looked at the white envelope before her. Kevin is obliged to give himself a living money but not necessarily by being thrown in front of him.

"Thank you brother. But could it not be like this next time?" ask Regina. Regina deliberately protested so that Kevin would not repeat such a thing.

"You're not who can rule me. Thank God I still give you money for a living" replied Kevin ketus. Kevin looked at Regina as if he wanted to swallow her. From now on, he didn't like anything the woman did in this house. Starting from telling herself to unzip the dress to protest by giving the envelope to Regina. Just like that, Kevin can show his dislike. Because whatever angry he is. Kevin strongly forbade himself from playing hands. Even though she hated Regina so much, there was no intention of venting that hatred by playing hands.

Regina stroked his chest. For now, he will try to be patient.

"One more. Let's just say we're strangers living under one roof. So don't ever take care of my life" Kevin said again.

Honestly, the hatred made Kevin feel disturbed by the presence of Regina in the house. Suppose there is a promotion in the office even though the mutation to a remote area. Kevin will be happy if he gets the promotion for the sake of not staying one roof with Regina.

"A stranger, brother?. If a stranger why do you give me a living. Is that not the duty of a husband?" ask Regina. He hoped to say it like that. Kevin is aware of their status. They are legal as husband and wife. No stranger lives under one roof..

"It is the duty of a husband. But I'm doing it's just an obligation not to feel your husband. We have to be like this until the fetus is born. Because until this moment I will fight for my love for Melati. I also let you fight for your love with that man."

Kevin left Regina after saying that. The man got out of the house and got into his car. Actually these three days were a day off for him but Kevin did not take advantage of the leave for his wife.

It wasn't Regina who was expected to be the queen in her house but Melati. The woman who had been her lover for a year. Even Kevin prepared the minimalist dwelling for the residence of himself and Melati. Kevin buys the house for their wedding gift planned for the end of the year but before telling Melati about the house, Regina's pregnancy destroys everything.

Today, Kevin plans to meet his two best friends later this afternoon. So before afternoon comes. Kevin plans to meet Melati first. Along the way, Kevin imagines Kevin's pretty face. Even Kevin stopped by the cake shop to buy his favorite Melati cake. Kevin is very confident, Melati will be devastated to see his struggle.

"What are you here for?" jasmine asked as she faced Kevin. He glanced cynically at the hand of Kevin who was holding his favorite cake box.

Kevin reached out his hand to give the cake box but Melati did not intend to accept the cake. Melati turned her face as a sign of refusing Kevin's gift. Finally Kevin put the cake on the table on the porch of the house.

"Mel, I've fulfilled all of you've wanted to take responsibility for marrying your best friend."

Kevin looked at Melati's face expectantly. But Melati still turned her face away so they could not look at each other.

"Then?" jasmine asked impatiently as Kevin paused his words.

"I beg. We stay in touch. After Regina gave birth. I will divorce her and make our marriage dream come true. I know you still love me just as much as I still love you. I will prove my love by giving all I have to you. My house, car and deposit will be yours."

Kevin said expectantly. He looked at Melati's face. While Melati was not immediately happy to hear the words of Kevin. There Regina felt herself humbled for being invited to betray her best friend. Kevin was once his girlfriend. Kevin loved her very much. But Melati doesn't make that an excuse to remain Kevin's lover. Melati realized that the marriage bond is stronger and higher than just a lover relationship.

"Mas, if you want to be evil. Evil itself mas. Don't take me."

Melati is very upset. The more here, the more Melati sees Kevin not like himself when still dating him. Melati did not think. Kevin could have pleaded with him but ignored the woman who was already his wife. Melati is getting sorry for Regina. If her best friend finds out her husband is in her house it will be painful for Regina. Especially if he is willing to call Kevin to connect behind Regina.

Regina was not tempted at all by the material offered by Kevin. He does want an established man to be his life companion later but not a married man.

No. gabe. Melati won't let that happen. The man in front of him is no longer the male of his future candidate anymore but the male of Regina's future candidate. Kevin is his past. Melati was not interested in the man's offer at all because Melati felt that it was the right of Regina who was already the wife of Kevin.

"Can't you feel so much love for you Mel?" ask Kevin in despair.

"The feeling of love will fade if you try to open your heart to Regina mas. And it could be that now you say that just because you can't accept your marriage yet. But someday, you'll be so grateful for this marriage because Regina is such a good woman."

"If she's nice, there's no way she's hurting you, her best friend."

"Regina didn't hurt me. You should have remembered why you were able to do that to Regina."

"It should have been, he could have dodged that moment."

"Stop, that discussion is over. And you're married. Remember mas, I'm no longer Melati your lover but your ex-lover," said Melati asserted that among them there is no longer a relationship. It's all over for Melati but not for Kevin. Kevin still feels he has hope of getting back with Melati.

"Bring your cake back. I don't need it" Melati said again as Kevin turned around.

Kevin stopped his steps and looked at Melati. Really, Kevin felt sad because his gift was rejected.

"Don't hate me Melati. Everything that happened was not my will. If you wait patiently. I'll be able to solve this problem listen good."

Melati could no longer hold back her dislike for Kevin. Melati immediately closed the door of her house with a loud voice. He did not care about his attitude that made Kevin offended or angry because he expected it so that Kevin would no longer meet him.

Kevin looked at the door. He had never seen Melati act so rudely. His love is too great for Melati that he is not angry with the treatment of the woman he loves so much.

Kevin was still standing there. The shadow of each Melati welcome and deliver himself at the door was shadowed in Kevin's mind. Melati is not Kevin's first girlfriend. But Melati was the first woman to make Kevin feel this deep love.

Like the old Melati who welcomed herself full of smiles at that door. Kevin is hoping, one day. Melati is willing to welcome herself at that door with a sweet smile with a stronger relationship than a lover.

Kevin came home from Melati's house empty. He did not bring the cake he had placed on the small table earlier. His hopes of being together with Melati were minimal. And Kevin feels his hatred for Regina is becoming more and more. Because the man thought that his separation from Melati was because of Regina. Until now, Kevin was very sure if Regina accidentally gave her body that night to ensnare him. Bites and scratches on his arm and shoulder were not because he wanted to break away from him but because he felt pain when the seal came off.

That afternoon, Kevin forced his two best friends to meet at a cafe where they were hanging out. Kevin was frustrated. He needs his best friend to change his mind. Besides hating Regina. After reflecting on Melati's rejection of her Today. Now Kevin began to get fed up with the rejection of Melati which was considered too expensive to sell to him.

"You think you're just a pretty woman. There's a lot out there. Wait for the time, you will regret for rejecting me Melati," Kevin said inwardly. Many times Kevin clenched his hand because he remembered Melati's rejection. Kevin felt to humble himself in order to be with Melati but the woman preferred to keep the feelings of her best friend. Kevin felt it was unfair to him.
