The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 25

A week into marriage with Kevin. Regina really doesn't feel herself as a wife. Like Kevin's wish. They were like two strangers who happened to live one roof. There is no togetherness between them. Kevin is busy with his world while Regina makes lonely friends in that house.

Not just busy with the world. Kevin also restricted Regina's movements. It was intended that Regina could not freely tell anyone including Melati. Regina is not free to leave the house. Even to take care of leave on campus. Regina must ask her sister Rani for help. Actually it could be, he asked for help Melati. But since the pregnancy was revealed. His relationship with Melati is not as warm as it used to be. There are no calls to hang out or study together. No more asking for or offering help. No more noise from his cell phone because of calls or messages from his best friend.

It's not just Regina. Melati also experienced the same thing. Melati has also felt lonely since Regina's pregnancy was revealed. Melati had to lose two close people at once at the same time. Losing Regina and losing Kevin is not easy for Melati. Getting used to just being with Regina and Kevin every day leaves Melati overwhelmed to find a suitable friend on campus.

Not just on campus. After at home also Melati felt lonely. No one wants to go out on the weekends or when they need entertainment. Melati did feel very lost to Kevin but Melati was sincere.

Actually, if Melati wants to, she can still make a friendship with Regina. But for now Melati deliberately kept her distance. Connecting with Regina will only remind her of the heartache of Kevin's actions.

On campus, Melati felt very overwhelmed to answer the questions of her classmates. He had no idea what to answer to the question that was questioning Regina. To say Regina is currently married and is pregnant young. Melati felt unable. Regina is pregnant out of wedlock. But Melati did not want her friends to know about it. If ever one day his friend knew Regina was married. Melati will make sure if it is not heard from her mouth.

It's not just questions about Regina that Melati has to answer. Melati also has to answer questions about herself that were never again picked up by Kevin. But the question about this does not make Melati have to cover the actual circumstances. Melati said she and Kevin had broken up. And no longer heard the same question after Melati said that honesty.

What makes Melati confused at this time, it turns out that the news of Regina's pregnancy was also heard among her friends. Regina is already a gossip material in the classroom. Melati heard the faint faint rumbling but she made no attempt to respond. He had guessed that the news must have been from Reza.

"Za, news of Regina getting pregnant is heard among friends. I hope it's not from you."

Finally Melati waits for Reza in her favorite seat with Regina. Reza is their level sister. Melati had to wait half an hour to determine whether the news was from Reza or not. And this time Melati was very careful to compile a question to the man. He does not want past events to repeat.

"Do I look like a Mel woman. There's no way I'm spreading that because honestly until now. That sense is still there for Regina," Reza replied honestly. Suppose Regina was divorced after giving birth to the fetus. Reza will be willing to take Regina back. At this time Reza is very sorry because he was immediately angry when he learned the truth about Regina's pregnancy. He could not apologize because his number had been blocked by Regina. To meet directly. Reza doesn't know Regina's current address.

Melati looked at the man who became her best friend's lover. During this time Reza was known as a loyal lover and loved Reza. Regina always prides herself on her lover. At that time Melati felt that Kevin was the best man in the world. Not just love himself. Kevin is very royal to him. Unlike Reza who is only able to give a bar of chocolate to his best friend. It is only natural that Reza is still a student.

Now, Melati feels Regina is the luckiest ever to have a boyfriend like Reza. Although Reza was unable to provide material to Regina as Kevin had given to her. Melati can see the sincerity of Reza's love for her best friend.

"They're married. You shouldn't have saved the flavor for Regina. Do not let the sense that makes their household mess later," said Melati trying to advise Reza.

"I know Mel. I wouldn't ruin their happiness if they were truly happy. But if Regina is unhappy and dumped, I'm ready to accept Regina" Reza said seriously.

"Then how is your relationship with that man going?" ask Reza.

"dissipated. There's no way I'm an affair with my best friend's husband, is it Za?"

"Do you feel like you're Regina's best friend."

Jasmine nodded her head. At any moment he and Regina will remain friends. If the current state of affairs is no longer the same does not mean they break that friendship. Melati deliberately keeps her distance to give space and time to Kevin and Regina to open up to each other without a shadow of her.

"If you think pity both of us Mel. Left by lovers fitting very dear unfortunately."

Melati tried to laugh to expel the sadness on Reza's face. Reza's face looked pitiful as he said that. Sure enough, Reza could laugh at her own grief.

"Yuk, I'll buy you a meal. Forgetting the sadness. Sure if someday we find a replacement for them," said Melati. For now only with Reza he can talk about Regina because he knows the current state of his best friend. And Melati thought if the two should be able to encourage each other because the same heartache received a separation with each other's lovers.

"No ah. Where is my pride as a man if I'm treated to a woman."

Melati laughed again. It turned out that what Regina said about the man was true. Reza does not want to be treated by any woman for any reason even though Regina gets an unexpected windfall.

"Then. You bought me Za. Fellow victims break up we have to encourage each other."

"May, but don't ask for expensive food. You see my wallet is still filled at the mercy of parents."

Jasmine laughed, the woman moved from her seat and they headed for the canteen closest to the campus building. Half an hour. Melati there's another lecture.

Sure enough, Reza asked Melati to choose the type of chocolate whose price is still tens of thousands.

"Which one do you usually buy for Regina?" jasmine asked while watching the brown chocolate.

"Regina any chocolate lover. The round one, the rod wants him. Usually the size is moderate because it is limited to my money ability."

"It looks like it's code. I know Za."

Reza laughed followed by Melati as well.

"You're just like Regina. Respond quickly," Reza replied honestly. Reza is not shy about admitting that because he adapts to his money abilities. Reza is not stingy just he calculated between buying his motorcycle gasoline or buying a friend. Limited money because it has not yet been earned.

"Then I use my own money" said Melati. Reza immediately shook his head. Abstinence for Reza reneged on the promise he had made. They went to this cafeteria because there was a mutual agreement if he would treat Melati.

"Mel, I think I know where my friend found out that Regina was pregnant" Reza said as she picked up a medium-sized chocolate bar and gave it to Melati. As for her, Reza took a bottle of water.

"Where?"

"At that time, Mr. Bayu once looked for me to this campus. Maybe someone heard when Mr. Bayu called Regina's pregnancy."

Melati rubbed her face. If that happens hopefully her friend doesn't hear if Regina is pregnant out of wedlock.

Reza led Melati to a bench outside the campus cafeteria after paying for the chocolate bottle.

If Melati and Reza can laugh and try to heal themselves from the wounds of each other's hearts. Regina must fight alone to bring her household to the real marriage.

To this day, Kevin has remained silent. Not willing to talk to her and even almost every day to go home late at night. Kevin really did not give space and time to himself to serve as a wife. During that one week, Kevin brought his dirty clothes to the laundry and the man also sometimes cooked his own food. Regina was really not considered to be in that house.

Whatever fresh Regina is. Getting a husband like that is still very sad Regina. He wanted Kevin to talk to himself, but it seemed like the male voice was too expensive. Regina had known from the beginning even when still the status of lover of Melati that Kevin is a cold male figure. But it was unexpected that her being ignored was not even considered like this one week.

"Sister, can I talk?" ask Regina scared. Regina ventured to meet Kevin at the dinner table this morning. Only at times like this is Regina's chance to talk to her husband.

Kevin only turned to Regina for a moment and continued to chew the food that had been in his mouth. His attitude was really cold.

"I'd like to ask your mother's house for permission."

Kevin did not answer. Now the man is seen putting another piece of bread into his mouth.

"Only one night, brother. Tomorrow morning, I'll be sure to return to this house" Regina said. For some reason, Regina desperately wants Siska's mother's cooking.

"Go!. If you're gone, don't come back."

Regina was struck by lightning when she heard her husband's words. He knew he was unwanted in this marriage. But hearing her husband's words, Regina still felt her heart throbbing pain.

"Why did you make my position go awry brother. Ask permission, your words hurt. Not asking permission is more painful. Don't blame me for this, brother. You should realize, this happened because your association is wrong. Suppose you weren't drunk that night. This is not gonna happen. But you casually threw the blame at me" Regina said angrily.

Trying to be patient with her husband's silence but once talking. He said like an arrow stuck in his heart.

"Okay, fine. I concur. We'll get divorced after this kid is born. And wait for that time to come don't restrain me. Let us live with our freedom. Please chase after the love of Melati. I don't care anymore."

The wedding was still a week. But it looks like Regina has given up on bringing the marriage like a real marriage. Regina realized, the marriage would not be harmonious and run forever if only she tried.
