The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 26

Slowly Regina was able to accept her unhealthy marriage. Kevin agrees, they'll divorce if the child is born. They are not just planning for divorce. Kevin and Regina are also already thinking about child custody. Of course, Kevin does not want to be bothered with taking care of a small child let alone the child is not the desired child. The foster child will fall later to Regina.

That was enough of their conversation that night. Kevin was relieved, he felt free after making the divorce deal. Although not written, but Kevin is very sure if Regina gives up on the marriage. The divorce was still a long time but Kevin already felt successful in making Regina give up.

Regina did choose that way to make her heart not hurt. Hoping on an unhealthy marriage and on a husband who does not love him will only make his heart depressed. Especially this late end, almost every morning. Regina heard Kevin greeting someone cordially over the phone. Regina doesn't know who Regina is sure to see her husband like he's in love.

Regina realized, if what she decided was a mistake and sin as a wife. But Regina also realizes she can't force Kevin into the marriage as his wife. Kevin did not give the slightest opportunity to himself to perform his duties as a wife.

This morning, Regina was again presented with the sight of Kevin smiling happily. But alas, that happy smile was not for her but for someone who was seen on her husband's phone.

"You're my queen candidate. It's appropriate, I'll pick you up, baby. Wait there, yes. We're leaving together."

Kevin's face looks sparkling when talking through the phone.

"No need beb, I can go alone. Our goal is in the opposite direction. I don't want to give you a ride. You're late for work."

"That's your understanding, dear. It's actually okay if I deliver you. I'll pick you up later in the afternoon. We're having fun tonight."

"Ok beb's. L waited. Let's tell you it's late, huh?"

"Whoever my darling."

Regina deliberately hid behind a wall to hear her husband's conversation. From that conversation. Regina can confirm if the woman is not Melati but somehow, Regina wants to make sure if the woman is really not Melati.

It turns out that Kevin realized that Regina heard the conversation. The man kicked the table after seeing Regina appear in the living room. His appetite suddenly disappeared. The man left behind his food which was still much left. In his heart, Kevin was very happy that Regina heard the conversation with the interlocutor.

During their one month marriage, they never got married. The last time they talked was when they talked about divorce and custody. Even though they, don't talk to each other. But almost every day, Kevin shows his dislike when he sees Regina. If it does not break the table, throw something carelessly in the direction and even stare at him sharply. Sometimes if they cross paths, Kevin willfully crash into Regina's body. Because of Kevin's attitude. Regina chose not to show her face in front of the man. If he was behind that wall. That's because Regina is so thirsty.

Regina stroked her chest while looking at Rama's back which was getting further away from the dining room. Regina felt heartache because she often saw and got the rough treatment of her husband. Although Rama did not play a hand, but only her husband's rude attitude was very painful for Regina.

Sometimes Regina thinks she wants to leave the house and stay at her parents' house. But if that happens, Regina will only make both her parents embarrassed and herself into the conversation. The marriage was still one month, it would be a surprising thing if he arrived back to his parents' house.

Sometimes Regina also thought of other options besides returning to her parents' home. Get as far away from the city as possible. But again Regina rethink her desire. Regina did not have enough work and money for her needs until the fetus was born. Regina realized, taking a rash decision will only make herself later get new problems. There was no choice but to stay in the house. Although Kevin's attitude is rude. But the man had also given Regina a living ration for the second time.

Regina thought, at least by staying in that house. Regina did not bother thinking about the needs of life. Regina is not a matre woman. Don't make money an excuse to stay in that house. But Regina realized, money is not everything but everything needs money.

Just now Regina was about to drink. A woman's voice sounded in front of the house.

"Surprise baby. You like no?" the woman asked as she spread her hand out asking to be hugged. That woman looks so happy. Kevin immediately hugged the woman named Nadia. The girl who replaced Melati's position in her heart. They're close in two weeks.

"Like it dear," replied Kevin honestly. This surprise from Nadia makes Kevin's life colorful.

"What's this?" kevin asked after the two let go of the hug. In Nadia's right hand was a three-tier branch.

"I also made breakfast for both of us. You still have time, baby."

"There's donk. What's not there for you dear."

Kevin was very excited by holding the woman's hand into the house.

"I don't taste much in my cooking, baby. This breakfast you made must be as good as your face that's very pleasing to the eye."

Kevin deliberately said in a loud voice so that Regina would find out if she had a guest. Special guest who will make his wife hurt. With that, he thought Regina would not come out of the room. Kevin led the woman to the dinner table. Kevin feels proud of the arrival of the woman in his house because he can submit to Regina if he can get other women out there besides Melati.

Kevin was wrong. Regina's still at the dinner table. What surprised Kevin was not the presence of Regina in the dining room. The existence of the woman would have no effect on her relationship with Nadia. To Kevin's surprise, Regina eats the rest of her food. Regina looks really good eating Kevin's leftovers.

Just like Kevin was surprised. Regina was also surprised to see Kevin by holding a woman up to the dining table. Regina had indeed heard the voice of a woman earlier but she did not expect that the woman would be invited to the dining table. Regina thinks they could have breakfast in the car because if you look at the time now. Kevin is too late. Kevin is no longer home at this hour.

Regina put the food in her hand back on the plate. Breakfast bread mixed with grilled meat, tomatoes, eggs and avocados was very good on his tongue. Regina was ashamed of being caught eating her husband's leftovers. Maybe because of the demand of her fetus, Regina had long wanted food made by her husband. And today just materialized even though only the rest. But baby, there's still a little inside his mouth. Kevin saw what he did.

Just as Kevin and Regina were similarly shocked. The woman named Nadia was also surprised to see a woman in Kevin's house. Kevin once told me that he lived alone but now there is a woman in the house.

"Your sister beb?" ask Nadia. Kevin was immediately nervous and shook his head. Now a glare turned to Regina as if asking why Regina was in the dining room.

"So who?" nadia asked. He was three weeks in town. Of course, she did not know about Kevin and Regina's marriage because she had only been assigned for three weeks in the city. If he can get close even dating Kevin it is because they connect the rope of love that had been cut off since they finished from the white ash uniform at that time.

"Include mbak. I'm Kevin's wife, brother," Regina said casually as she extended her hand.

Kevin and Nadia both round their eyes. Kevin was surprised to see the courage Regina confessed to his wife while Nadia was surprised to hear the status of the woman. That means Kevin is a married man.

"Beb, which one is this right. You said you were a widower. Then why did she claim to be your wife. I'm disappointed in you mas" said Nadia almost crying. The woman immediately ran over and Regina could see the woman wiping her tears.

"Satisfied you Regina. Didn't we agree to divorce and not interfere in each other's affairs?" ask Kevin to be angry.

"But in fact I'm still your wife. So where is my mistake. You are not a widower yet. You're still a married man. You're a widower after we're divorced, not a widower right now."

"You don't feel guilty. Are you not aware of your confession. You've ruined my relationship with him?" kevin was angry. His intention to show off Nadia to Regina turned out that Regina dared to acknowledge her status in front of Nadia.

"Go, brother, go after him. Sure that woman is a widower. If she's a good woman. Knowing you still have a wife. He must have retreated. But if you still want to hang with you. That means she's not a good woman."

"Shut up!" snarled Kevin with a thunderous voice.

"Do you think it's that easy to convince him. I know his nature. You ruined my dream Regina. Just so you know. She was my first love who was so much more everything than Melati and you."

Regina smiled cynically. It turns out that Kevin's love for Melati is easily forgotten just because of the presence of the former. Seeing this, Regina doubted Kevin's love for Melati all along.

"You feel hurt because your dreams are shattered brother. Trust me, you can still repair your relationship. But not with my future that you ruined. Forever your trail of deeds will overshadow my future" Regina said softly.

Kevin was not affected by Regina's words. He was still staring at Regina sharply.

"You destroyed my relationship with Nadia and you have to fix it. You have to tell him that I'm a widower not a prospective widower" Kevin said. Regina shook her head immediately.

It's so good Kevin. He destroys Regina's future and heart but does not feel guilty about asking Regina to convince the woman named Nadia that Kevin's status will be claimed widower.

"If you want to be happy with him. Then try it yourself."

Kevin's breaking the table. Intended to threaten Regina but it turns out that the woman showed no fear. Regina sat back down and grabbed Kevin's leftovers. Regina was all her might showing a calm demeanor spending the meal. He tried not to care with Kevin's sharp gaze pointing at him.

"Why are you eating my leftovers, huh. Do not let my parents and your parents see you like this as if I would not give you money" Kevin snapped again.

At first I heard Kevin's words. Regina thinks Kevin cares about her. But hearing the end of the sentence, Kevin apparently wanted to look good and responsible in front of the family but did not want to be responsible for Regina's heart and mental health.

"What do you care, brother. I eat this so as not to be wasted. Poor you're tired of making money but throwing away food like this" Regina replied calmly.

Kevin snatched the food violently. Kevin did that so Regina wouldn't eat the rest of her food. Kevin didn't want his parents to find out like that one day.

"ask brother. I'm still hungry" Regina said. He really liked the taste of the food. But Kevin has no feelings. Kevin did not give the food to Regina, which the man threw into the trash.

Regina swallowed her own saliva. There was no way he could take that food out of the trash.

"You know brother?. Sometimes a pregnant woman's desire is not her own. Given your sometimes rude and sometimes cold attitude. I should be disgusted to eat your leftovers. Just so you know, the rest of your food is not my desire but the desire of this fetus. You've made your flesh blood disappointed when she's still a matter of months and struggling to grow in your womb" Regina said.

He poured his heart out by confessing honestly why he wanted to eat the rest of Kevin's food.

Either out of regret or guilt after hearing Regina's words. Kevin was silent for a while and looked at the leftovers that were already in the trash.

"Go brother. You're already late. Besides you also have to convince the woman if you are a widower right?" syndicate Regina.

Kevin washed his hands into the sink then left Regina in the dining room.
