The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 39

Kevin's out of that shoe store. Reza's words made Kevin lose his appetite to see the shoes. Reza's words bothered Kevin's mind. Really, Melati really erases the memory of their togetherness during this time?. Is Melati really not going back to him?"

Kevin shook his head. He felt unacceptable if that fast Melati forgot herself. Kevin thought that Melati's attitude towards him after taking responsibility for his actions towards Regina was only upset for a while. If she and Regina get divorced. Kevin is very confident Melati will accept herself back.

They are not just long-term relationships. It is not just the happy memories created in their relationship that make them should not be separated. But there are other things that make Kevin and Melati must unite. Not because it is comfortable. But Melati already knows a lot about Kevin.

Then what if Melati is pregnant with another boy. Is he still chasing Melati?.

Kevin kept thinking about Reza's words. Could it be that Melati and Reza's relationship has gone so deep that Reza said that?

It felt like Kevin wanted to quickly meet Melati and ask the woman the extent of Reza and Melati's relationship. Just imagining Reza and Melati's relationship is already very deep makes Kevin very disappointed.

"You always rejected me back then but you easily gave your body to Reza."

Kevin concluded in his heart. If Reza said that because the relationship between Melati and Reza is not like the relationship he used to have with Melati who was just a lip.

Kevin stepped foot lethargic towards the food stall where Rudi and his family were already waiting for him there.

"Blessed family first bro. We just discussed work. We work hard for the family. Where's your wife?. Why not come along?" rudi asked as soon as Kevin arrived at the man's desk.

Kevin looked confused to sit where. The table was indeed six seats and four seats were already for the Rudi family. There are two more seats. Maybe Rudi deliberately took the table because he thought Kevin was taking his wife.

"The tube here bro, ready to eat later they want to shop," said Rudi again. Rudi could see Kevin who was confused. Maybe because Kevin was not happy to disturb the family togetherness because he was sitting among them.

"Come on, sit here."

Kevin smiled at the invitation to sit from his colleague's daughter who was estimated to be three years old. Seeing the smile of Rudi's wife who didn't seem to mind. Kevin finally sat down. The attitude of the little girl caught Kevin's attention so that the gaze was fixed on the daughter of his partner.

"Om, what do you want to eat?" ask the little boy again. Kevin reached out his hand to reach out to the boy's head and stroked his hair.

"Don't om, it'll be a mess. I don't want to be ugly."

"Who is the name of this sweet and beautiful sister?" ask Kevin. Princess Rudi was very beautiful and resembled Rudi a little. Kevin gave a sweet smile to the little girl.

"Bella Om's. Beautiful is my name?. Bella that means beautiful om," replied the little boy embarrassed. Being praised sweet and beautiful seemed to make the child happy as well as embarrassed. Bella is a beautiful and smart little girl. His hair is styled with colorful rubber and also his way of talking is very smooth to make people happy Talking with the little boy including Kevin at this time.

"Remember the meaning of his name bro. Bella is proud of her name."

If Bella is proud of her name. Rudi looks very proud of his son and daughter. Rudi seems like a good papi for his son. It was seen from the sweet treatment of his children to Rudi. His son and Bella take turns giving food to Rudi.

"If the brother. What was his name?". asked Kevin to Rudi's first child who showed absolutely no expression of his arrival at the table. Since then, the boy was busy with his food and was busy feeding his papi. Sometimes he also feeds his papi.

"Bapy want?. It's delicious" Bella said again. The little girl offered her food to Rudi.

"You donk, whatever Bella gives papi to you must be accepted."

Rudi opened his mouth, Bella who was smart to wear chopsticks put the food into Rudi's mouth.

"Nake pi?" ask Bella again. Rudi nodded his head. Bella looks happy and proud because her papa likes the food she gives Rudi. Bella's movements are so lucid and adorable. Even his wife Rudi pinched his daughter's cheek because it was very anxious.

Don't pinch the pinch. I'll wear off."

Kevin and Rudi both laughed.

"If you want again. Say yes pi."

Kevin kept smiling looking at Bella. The little boy so captivated her heart that he didn't realize she was stroking Bella's head.

"If you want to. In love yes!.

"Big no" Bella answered quickly. Rudi laughs.

"A father is his daughter's first love. He always privileged his papa compared to me and his brother" said his wife Rudi. Rudi laughed happily.

Kevin saw the happiness of his partner's family. Rudi has two children. The first is a boy and the second is Bella. Although Rudi's first child looks cute but the child cares deeply for both parents. Kevin smiled when he saw Rudi's first child rubbing the corner of Rudi's lips using tissue because of the remaining sauce fighting there. Rudi's family is really a picture of a happy family.

Seeing his wife Rudi serving Rudi at the table. Kevin immediately remembered Regina. What Rudi's wife is doing right now is exactly what Regina did when serving herself at the dinner table. The woman first put food first for her husband rather than herself plus the smile that was always visible on the woman's lips

"Have you figured out the gender of your fetus bro?" ask Rudi. Kevin nodded his head.

"Women."

"Well, lucky you're Kevin. He said having his first daughter was a lot of ease the burden of parents" said Rudi.

"Anything like that?" kevin did not understand.

"Yes, because girls think faster than boys. Girls understand their parents better than boys. He said it was like that."

Kevin looked at Bella. For some reason, seeing the beautiful and smart Bella, Kevin hopes that the fetus in Regina's womb will be like the beautiful and smart Bella.

"How many months has your wife been pregnant?" ask Rudi again. Kevin scratched his head. She forgot between five or six months of Regina's pregnancy.

"Six months."

"Well, three more months of your status increased bro. Not just a husband, but a father."

Kevin just nodded his head.

"I can't wait for that moment, right?" ask Rudi again. Kevin was confused to say yes or no. All this time. She didn't care much about Regina's pregnancy. And she's acting normal with Regina's pregnancy. There was no sense of excitement to see his daughter's face immediately.

"Yes. That's how it is."

"Mulia is your wife, bro. To make you a father. There's a wife who's risking her life giving birth to a child."

Kevin just smiled then nodded his head as if he had been glorifying his wife all this time.

"But not coming?" ask Bella. The lunch is over. Now is the time for Rudi's wife and children to shop.

"But there's important business, baby. It's okay Bella, brother and Mami are shopping," replied Rudi.

"It's okay pi. Papi's working."

"Yes dear."

"Work for money."

"Yes dear."

Again Kevin smiled at Bella's interaction with her papa. Especially when Bella kisses the cheek of her papi, Kevin feels happy.

Not long before Kevin and Rudi talked about the work problem. It's only about an hour.

Kevin arrived at his house at night. After his meeting with Rudi at the mall. Kevin spends time with his best friends. Kevin opened the door. He thought that Regina had come back because the living room lights were already on.

"True, he's back" Kevin said inwardly. Kevin went straight into his room

In the bathroom. Kevin remembers everything that happened in the mall about Rudi's family. Remembering Bella, somehow Kevin also wanted to stroke Regina's stomach like the three months she had been doing without taste. After cleansing his body. Kevin intends to return Regina's necklace so that there is a reason to talk to his wife.

Kevin frowned. Regina's room was still dark. Kevin opened the door and turned on the light. Regina was not in that room.
