The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 38

"Love can't be forced, right?. So forgive me, Regina if you can't be a good husband to you and a good father to the fetus in your womb. Like you who have tried, I also tried to accept you in these three months. Still, this love is still for Melati" Kevin said in his heart. There was no sadness in his heart when stringing up that word. Kevin feels proud because of his love for Melati.

Kevin is in Regina's room. Kevin only realized that Regina was not in the house after seeing the food she saw last night at the dinner table. This morning, the food was still on the dinner table in a stale state.

Last night, Kevin came home pretty late at night because of a problem in his office. Kevin went to bed and did not realize Regina was not in the house. And this morning, Kevin accidentally woke up bad luck because of the holiday. And when he was about to make breakfast, Kevin was amazed by the atmosphere of the dining table and kitchen like last night. Kevin suspects that Regina is not in the house at the moment. And her guess was right, Regina wasn't in her room.

There was no intention of Kevin to search for Regina's whereabouts. She had expected Regina to return to her parents' house. Although they are still tied to the marriage, Kevin will give Regina the freedom to do anything. Kevin is also very sure if Regina is only for a visit to his parents' house. Later, or tomorrow will definitely return to that house. Kevin clearly remembers being forced to marry Regina in order to save from the family's disgrace. Regina must still be thinking of embarrassment if they get divorced in the near future. Because of that belief, Kevin thought that Regina must have returned to the house.

The initial intention of wanting to get out of the house, now Kevin decided to stay indoors. He wanted to relax at home without Regina in the house.

Kevin was about to get out of the room and immediately his eyes saw something on the bed tucked under a pillow. Kevin took that thing. It turned out to be a beautiful necklace whose pendant was in the shape of love. Kevin looked at the necklace. Throughout these three months their closeness. Kevin never saw Regina wearing that necklace.

"It turns out that you and I are the same Regina. We still love each other very much. This must be from your girlfriend Reza, right?"

Kevin tightly grasped the necklace whose pendant read R's initials. Her face hardened as she felt Regina was not as good as the woman had shown during these three months. If Regina felt the heartache of her struggle was not appreciated. Kevin feels angry because Regina still saves the gift of her lover Reza.

"You're wearing a wedding ring from me, but you're keeping a necklace that your lover gave you. What kind of woman is that. No, I can't fall for you. Turns out this is the reason. You are not sincerely doing your duty as a wife."

Kevin still holds the necklace. For three months, she also tried to forget Melati and open up to Regina by carrying out her duties and responsibilities as a husband. He tried to be able to enjoy every activity husband and wife they do every day to take his mind off Melati. Apparently, even though he and Regina were one body. That love is still strong for Melati. The obligations performed by Regina both at the dinner table and in bed could not divert Kevin's heart from Melati. Sometimes, Kevin also imagined if the woman who was serving him was Melati.

Instantly Kevin felt lucky with the necklace. With the necklace, Kevin has plans to show the necklace to Melati, to her parents-in-law and to her parents.

With the necklace, Kevin will show if Regina also does not intend to maintain their marriage. Regina still loves Reza. With that, he will not be blamed by Mr. Raka and Tika's mother if the divorce happens later.

"We are not Regina's match. Look, even many supporting factors to get us divorced."

Kevin kept the necklace in his own room after first photographing the necklace. Not to forget, he uploaded the photo in status in his green application. He wanted Melati to see that status later. Because Kevin is very sure if Melati finds out if the necklace is a gift from Reza.

Kevin's mood suddenly changed after thinking that the existence of the necklace could justify the divorce of himself and Regina later. Making breakfast for himself. Kevin whistled cheerfully.

"Bro, last night's discussion can we continue today?. If you're willing, we'll meet at the mall near the office."

Kevin read the message from his co-worker. Last night their discussion was interrupted due to time. Financial problems over the past two months have drained the brains of Kevin and his co-workers.

"It can't be at the office on Monday. I'm lazy to get out of the house" Kevin replied.

"can actually. But if we talk about that matter with all the staff. His mistake will not be found. I suspect some of the staff conspired to commit fraud" retorted Kevin's colleague Rudi.

"OK, what time is it?"

"Jam eleven bro. I'll take the road wife's son. Just bring your wife. Lunch at the mall."

"OK."

That was Kevin's only short reply. Invite his partner to bring the wife who imagined in the mind of Kevin is not Regina but Melati. But to invite Melati and spoil the woman of his dreams today it feels impossible because Melati is not like a woman who is a victim in general. Although, Melati is hurt by Kevin and Regina's marriage. The woman does not necessarily demand to be happy by Kevin but demands that Kevin accept Regina and her pregnancy. Given Melati's kindness, her love for the woman felt even more.

Kevin arrived at the mall where Rudi had promised. Kevin arrived on time. Directly to one of the food outlets in the mall.

Ten minutes waiting, Kevin gets a message from Rudi if he is late. Kevin took a deep breath in annoyance. His colleague had just departed from home, which meant Kevin would wait for Rudi at the earliest of an hour. Fortunately, Kevin had not ordered any food so the man was not trapped in the place.

Kevin thought it would be better for him to wait while walking down the street inside the mall. Kevin came out of the food. His feet moved towards the shoe store. Since his marriage, Kevin has never bought new shoes. While still at the mall. Kevin is planning to buy shoes.

Kevin's steps stopped. His eyes looked at the two people who also saw the shoes inside the shop. Kevin knew the man but did not know the woman who was holding the man's hand.

"Reza," call Kevin to the man. Reza looked up and looked at Kevin. Reza behaved normally and continued his activities seeing the shoes. Reza acted as if he didn't know Kevin.

Kevin pulled out his phone. He felt Today was his lucky day. After getting a necklace that could justify the divorce of her and Regina. Now he sees Reza with another woman. Kevin filmed Reza and the woman. With that video. He'll be able to get Melati to break up with Reza.

"Reza, thank you, yes" said Kevin. Kevin accidentally approaches Reza when he sees Reza's friend's woman somewhat away from Reza.

"Thank you for what?" reza was confused. Reza looked in wonder at her ex-boyfriend's husband.

"Thank you for being a branching man, aka a jerk. With this fucking attitude of yours. Melati will come back to me" Kevin said with a smile. Reza laughed a little. Looked at the man in front of him. In my heart I hate Kevin. Kevin not only gets himself and Regina to break up due to Kevin's rape, but also hurts Regina by going after Melati.

Reza looked at the man in front of him. For the sake of Regina, she and Melati are willing to pretend to date. Reza of course knows the development of the relationship Regina and Kevin from Melati. And hearing for yourself the words of Kevin who will pursue Melati again makes Reza feel useless to sacrifice time pretending to date.

"You're still confident chasing after Melati. What about Regina?" reza asked calmly as she looked at Kevin's face.

"Very confident. Seeing you like this. Melati is not worthy of you. My marriage to Regina has a deal. After we got divorced. You can go back to him. Regina still loves you so much. Take it easy, if your love one day comes together. The fetus in Regina will not be your burden. I'll take full responsibility for the boy until he grows up" Kevin said. Again Reza laughed a little while shaking his head.

Reza thinks Kevin has shallow thoughts. As easy as it was to interpret the meaning of marriage at a ripe age made Reza think that Kevin was not yet an adult.

"Dear already erased his memory of you man. Realize it!. By divorcing Regina, don't think you'll get Melati. There you will lose a good woman a second time. Melati and Regina are just as good women. So you need to remember, losing Regina is certain you will lose Melati. But losing Melati isn't necessarily losing Regina. Make your choice, man" said Reza.

Reza purposely said like that hoping Kevin could understand the meaning of his words. Although he was hurt by the break-up between himself and Regina..Reza hopes Regina finds her happiness in her marriage to Kevin.

Reza was about to turn around to meet his friend's woman earlier but Kevin's hand managed to grab her shoulder so the man stopped.

"Otherwise?" ask Reza with a ketus. He shook Kevin's hand off his shoulder violently.

"Don't teach you. I'm gonna show Melati a video of your intimacy with that woman. So don't be pretentious about getting Melati" Kevin said. He showed the video he had just shot proudly to Reza.

Kevin thinks that what Reza said earlier to stop his efforts to get Melati.

"Originally you know yes. Long ago, I loved Regina. But I realized, love doesn't always have to have. I tried to release him from my heart. Because I realized, she already belonged to another woman. You should be like that too. You must realize it belongs to Regina. If only, Melati was pregnant with another boy. Can you still accept him?. Ponder that in your heart. One more thing, you want to show the video to Melati will not affect our relationship. Because the girl you saw with me earlier was my real sister. Not only age is old, but thinking must also be mature" Reza said.

Reza left Kevin. Reza pulled his sister's hand out of the shoe store because she didn't want to look at Kevin anymore.

"That's so sorry you Regina. It must be very painful, right?" reza said in his heart. He could imagine Regina's pain because Kevin's attitude still wanted Melati so badly.
