The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 41

Kevin spread his eyes around every corner of the room. The shelf of the closet is still empty. Look at the closet door that is wide open. Kevin concluded that Regina was in a hurry to forget to close the closet door. But if you remember the duration of time between Regina leaving her parents' house until she arrived at this house and packed. It didn't feel like it was that fast Regina could leave that house.

Kevin was still standing in the room. It turns out that Regina's reason for staying back in the house during Kevin's wife's status was only as an excuse to get out of her parents' house. That means, Regina does not want to be with him anymore. Realizing that there was a feeling of unwillingness in his heart.

Kevin was about to get out of that room. When he turned around he saw a suitcase behind the door. Kevin guessed that Regina was still in the house and hid because she heard her voice.

Kevin's approaching the bathroom. He pushed slowly on the bathroom door that turned out to be locked from the inside.

"Regina, I know you're inside. Open Re's door, we're talking good" said Kevin quietly. No response from the bathroom.

"Re, if you don't open the door. I'm gonna break the door down" Kevin threatened.

Soon, the door opened and Regina was seen coming out of the bathroom. Regina turned her face away. He refused to look at Kevin.

"Re, let's talk" said Kevin. Regina passed through Kevin's body just like that and walked towards his suitcase behind the door. Regina put her suitcase behind the door in a panic at the sound of Kevin calling her earlier. Regina did not expect at this hour, Kevin returned home because it was still working hours. Regina hides in the bathroom because she plans to get out of the house if Kevin leaves the house. The plan was a mess. Kevin can find himself hiding in the bathroom.

"There's nothing more to talk about, brother. Besides our divorce," Regina replied. There was no sound of crying coming from his voice. Regina was acting as if they weren't talking about anything important.

"Regina, I know you're angry. Now sit down first. We're talking yes!" persuade Kevin while pulling Regina's hand to sit on the edge of the bed. Regina brushed off the hand but lost so much power that Regina was dragged to the edge of the bed.

"Regina, don't go!. Stay in this house to be my wife. Let the past pass, We begin this marriage from now on. I will be responsible to our little family. I'm sorry, if three months of these four months make you disappointed."

Regina did not want to look at the face of Kevin who was staring at her while talking.

"Sorry brother. I can't. I know we don't love each other and if we continue this marriage it will only hurt you more. I have accepted the fate that happened to me. Like our initial desire, the divorce will still happen. Faster is better. I don't want to be your wife anymore."

Regina said seriously. He is very aware that marriage is very important if it is based on love. If he continues the marriage, he is only a place of impingement. He didn't want, Kevin was just his status but the man was fighting for another woman. Kevin is not body adulterous but has played heart. Regina realized, she lost to compete with Melati in any way. Melati is beautiful, more economically capable and excellent.

As for her, only a woman who is currently struggling to become a mother of a fetus is not expected by her own father.

"We've been trying for three months and we can, right?" said Kevin.

Regina smiled wryly, Kevin's words were so heartbreaking. These three months, they can indeed undergo marriage like marriage in general. But that was before seeing the chat between Kevin and Mr. Raka. But after finding out that Kevin has not been able to accept his fetus. All hope is lost. Regina considered that Kevin only used his body to enjoy the pleasure of playing bed.

"Sister, if I'm willing to stay in this house and demand to be loved without any other woman in your heart including Melati. Can you be?. Can you accept the presence of this fetus?" ask Regina. Regina was very confident Kevin could not grant her wish.

Regina asked because she wanted to find out the basic reason her husband asked her to remain his wife. Unexpectedly, Kevin stroked Regina's stomach then kissed Regina's distended stomach. But in the slightest there was no longer any sense of happiness even though Kevin did that without being asked. Regina doesn't believe in anything her husband does.

Regina was flat with what her husband was doing. He did not show a smile as usual if Kevin was willing to indulge his desire to stroke his distended stomach. Regina sees what Kevin is doing as a play to keep him going and Kevin doesn't lose his toys in bed.

"Look at the happiness of Rudi's family. I also want to have a family like that Regina. Especially seeing Bella, Rudi's smart and beautiful daughter. I'm so impatient waiting for this fetus to be born" replied Kevin honestly. But Kevin's answer actually makes Regina more convinced to leave the house.

In addition because Kevin did not give an answer to the demands of love that Regina wanted, also because hearing Kevin's words about the reason for accepting her fetus made Regina more hesitant.

Kevin can't wait for the fetus to be born because he wants the fetus to be beautiful and smart like Bella. So what if the fetus was not in line with Kevin's expectations. Regina is always praying and really hope her future children are born perfect and beautiful. And Regina realized, humans can only ask and hope but everything in this world has been arranged by the Owner of Life.

And if Kevin's expectations don't match his expectations. There will be another rejection. Enough, rejection of prospective children only when in the womb only. Regina will not allow any more rejection after the fetus is born later. And to avoid that rejection. Then the best way right now is to go from Kevin. Bringing the fetus away from the male who does not sincerely accept the fetus. Indirectly, Kevin accepted the presence of his prospective child with the condition of beautiful and smart. Should be as parents. No matter how the child is born, he should be grateful and accepting.

Regina thinks Kevin's answer isn't like an adult male answer. Regina did not expect such an answer. The answer Regina wanted was an answer where Kevin could already accept the fetus.

"Your answer is not exact yet, brother. Don't stop me from leaving" said Regina softly. Regina got up from her seat and Kevin quickly grabbed her hand. And this time, Regina managed to shake her husband's hand.

"Regina, don't go!.

Kevin moved quickly towards Regina. Kevin hugged Regina's body from behind. Regina quit. Suppose, Kevin's intention to hold himself in the house for reasons already in love and fear of losing himself and the fetus. This is probably the most beautiful moment of her romance. But what Regina feels, Kevin forbids himself to go so that men can complete their desires. Regina did not guess. From the hard bulge behind his body, Kevin was very passionate about his body. And it's natural Kevin wants him because it's been three nights not getting his body rations.

Regina actually wanted to cry and hit the man's chest. But he's conscious. She is not a woman who is eaten up by sweet promises so that marriage occurs between them. Long before marriage, Regina had known that her husband loved Melati very much and made her the queen in his heart. Regina was also aware, what happened to their relationship during these three months because of the willingness of her heart. If only he would not be touched. Maybe Kevin will never touch his body.

Regina swore at Kevin in the heart. When discussing a farewell like this. It could be that the guy's stuff can go on. And considering they did not do husband and wife activities for four days, maybe Kevin's desire to let go of his passion is currently passionate.

"Sister, if you want to see me give birth to this fetus. Don't stop me from leaving. But if you expect bad things to happen to me. I'm gonna stay in this house. You know why brother?. Seeing you this heart wound is like watering vinegar. So choose sis," said Regina slowly. Regina wanted to shed her tears at this moment. Kevin was right to only make himself an impingement for three months.

Regina didn't mean to threaten but that's exactly how Regina feels right now. Kevin digested that word. In just three days, Regina's whereabouts were unknown. Kevin's been getting threats from Mr. Bayu to report him to the police station. Especially if something bad happens to Regina. He will definitely be the accused.

Kevin doesn't want his relationship with Regina's family to be bad. Like her two-in-law's request to take Regina there. Make today, Kevin will deliver Regina. Not to divorce but to leave Regina for a while. Kevin thought, Regina needs time to heal the heartache. Kevin also realized, he had hurt Regina.

"Then let me take you to your baby's house."

Kevin realized, he could not do anything but make sure Regina arrived at the home of his parents-in-law safely. Kevin plans to make time for Regina and her family. After a few days, Kevin will pick up his wife.

"No need brother. As soon as my feet come out of this house. We have become strangers. I don't need any more accountability from you."

Regina doesn't play with her words. Letting go is better than suffering in marriage. She needs calmness and sanity to go through that pregnancy. If he's worth nothing to Kevin. He is still valuable to his family and future children.

"Regina, you can't say that. Only a man can divorce his wife. Even if you say we're strangers but I'm the decisive one in this marriage" Kevin said in a loud voice. Kevin seemed to not accept the words of Regina who said they would be strangers.

Regina laughs. Kevin said like a man who cares about the fate of his household. Kevin's words are inversely proportional to want the marriage to end after the fetus is born. Regina wants to fight for herself. But kevin's word hurt him even more. The decisive word that came out of Kevin's mouth convinced Regina to leave. If now the man decides for them to undergo the marriage. It could be tomorrow or the day after, Kevin will determine their divorce.

"And only I have the right to decide my own life. I will not depend my life on a man who has no feelings. Who can't appreciate his own wife and who can't move on from his past. Enough for three months I'm like a woman doesn't have herself in front of you. An hour from now. You and I are in the past. Don't ever remember if you ever planted a seed in my womb. Because without you, I'm sure I can live alone with my daughter. Getting divorced sooner is better. Remember that brother!.

Regina steps out of the house without dragging her suitcase as Kevin holds Regina's suitcase in his hand. Looks like Kevin insisted on delivering Regina to her parents' house. The man followed Regina out of the house. But he was surprised because outside the house there were already two large men waiting for Regina in front of a car.

"Regina wait, don't go?.

With her hand holding her stomach, Regina moved quickly towards the car. The car door was opened by one of the men waiting in front of the car.

"Let's go sir" said Mr. Bayu.

The car moved away from Kevin's house. From the glass window, Regina sees Kevin shuffling his hair and then running towards his car. Kevin movement very quickly put the suitcase into the car then ran towards the gate and opened the gate. Regina asked the driver to increase the speed so that Kevin could not catch the car.

"Ah, why does it have to be like this Regina," said Kevin frustrated while turning the car keys. Kevin took the car quickly hoping to follow the car that was carrying Regina. Kevin didn't even care about the unlocked gate. Out of the housing complex. Kevin's already lost track of not seeing that car song. Kevin sped up his car. When we arrived at the intersection. Kevin hesitates to choose the path he must go. There are three choices. Straight, turn left or turn right. Finally Kevin took a right turn towards Regina's parents' house.

It only took half an hour, finally Kevin arrived at his in-law's house. As soon as he got out of the car, Kevin ran to Regina's house. But what Kevin saw made the man's heartbeat beat fast. The door is locked. That means Regina hasn't arrived at the house yet. Kevin is not resourceful. Kevin gets into his car and searches for a hidden parking space but can still look towards the front of Regina's house. Kevin gets that parking spot and waits for Regina in there.

Half an hour waiting. Regina did not show up. Kevin had guessed that Regina didn't return to the house.

"Where are you Regina. Don't make me dizzy" said Kevin quietly as he took his car away from the spot.

In the end, Mr. Bayu and Siska's mother intervened to keep Regina away from Kevin. After Kevin left home this morning. Mr. Bayu directly contacted Regina. Mr. Bayu and Siska's mother are indeed relieved to know Regina is at her in-laws' house. But they also realized that the biological parents' affection was more sincere than the affection of a father-in-law to his son-in-law. They appreciate Tika's mother's attitude.

Not to doubt Tika's mother's sincerity to Regina. But as a mother, Ibu Tika would definitely not have the long time to hide Regina from Kevin. Kevin's mistakes have been outrageous. It's good Regina was kept away from her husband so that Regina was calm during the pregnancy.

To keep Regina away from Kevin. Mr. Bayu asked two of his best friends to accompany him and Siska's mother to pick Regina up to take Regina later to a place far from the city. It was not Mr. Bayu or Siska's mother who went down waiting for Regina to not be caught if Regina's departure for their intervention.

"Mama."

Regina hugs Siska's mother. Siska's mother was about to be dropped from the car while Regina accompanied by Mr. Bayu and two friends will continue the journey. Siska's mother could not take Regina because there was still Rani to be guarded at home.

Regina cried and so did Siska's mother. Regina did not expect her parents to support her to this extent. If allowed to choose, Regina does not want to separate from Siska's mother especially when she later gave birth. Regina wants to be accompanied by her mother. But it seemed, Regina had to fend for herself to give birth without Tika's mother by her side. Going away from the City was the absolute decision of Mr. Bayu who could not bargain anymore. Regina and her fetus that had not been considered by Kevin, Pak Bayu felt himself as a parent was not appreciated in the slightest by Kevin. Mr. Bayu is not just giving a lesson to Kevin. But Mr. Bayu is ready and wants Regina divorced instead of suffering with Kevin.

"Without mom or anybody else with you tomorrow. Mama's pretty sure you can get through that tough time with Grandma."

Regina nodded her head sadly at the spirit given by the mother. His destination today is the hometown of Mr. Bayu where his grandmother is still there. Regina is ready to spend her day there until it is time to give birth.

Regina let Siska's mother down from the car. Her tears kept flowing. Being separated from Siska's mother is a grief in itself for Regina. Siska's mother wasn't just a woman who gave birth to her. But Siska's mother was the first friend of her life.

Until the car moves back. Regina still shed her tears. If she is currently a wife. Perhaps a few weeks later, her status would turn into a widow at a very young age.
