The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
Chapter 49

"I don't want to know Re, you have to come to your senses immediately. You have to comfort me if I'm sad" Melati said. I can't bear to lose Regina. Ordinary friends do exist, but only Regina is suitable as a friend.

Melati wiped her tears when she heard the door of the room open. Rani and Tika's mother show up there.

"Mr?" rai SAPa. The look of Regina R's sister's face was not good to see Melati in the room. Jasmine perceptive fast, do not let Rani and Tika's mother think that is not on her.

"You and Kevin keeping Regina together?" ask Tika's mother suspiciously. Melati immediately shook her head. Just now, Melati wanted to explain the existence in the room. Kevin's mother immediately asked with a face full of suspicion.

"Tante, I just came. And Kevin just went to the office."

Tika's mother seemed to lack confidence, she spread her gaze to the corner of the room. I don't know what it means to do that.

"Your mom still hurts, Mel, it seems you better focus on looking after your mom. Let us focus on keeping Regina."

Melati smiled, she knew what Tika's mother meant. It must be his goal to minimize the meeting between himself and Kevin. Tika's mother didn't know, a few minutes ago. Kevin has already settled his past with Melati in the presence of Regina.

Melati looked at the woman who had given her that blessing. To be honest, Melati was offended by the woman's words. But she also knew, the woman's words were only to protect her daughter-in-law. It's just, Tika's mother's intentions are good for Regina but painful for her.

"Tante, no need to worry. As long as Regina was still in this state. Maybe I should get permission first if I want to see Regina. I hope and pray in every breath. Regina's healing soon. And the aunt doesn't know much about Kevin. Kevin can already forget his past Aunt. His love for her is now only for Regina. If I ever met Kevin. Auntie don't be afraid. Forever Kevin is just a past for me" Melati said.

He felt the need to say that so that Tika's mother did not have such thoughts to him. His friendship means more than his love. So, in the slightest there was no intention of her to harm Regina.

Sometimes not all good deeds are considered good. Melati's intentions are good to visit her best friend but Tika's mother is not good to respond to her attitude.

I don't want to stay in that room for long. Finally, Melati came out of Regina's room. He stared deep at the desolate hospital loronh. Such was the sense of desolation in his heart ever since Regina broke off Communication with him.

Melati kept walking trying to ignore the voice of Rani calling herself.

"Mbak Mel's. Wait," cried his sister Regina while chasing after Melati. Melati kept walking. Her mood was not good as she could also see the suspicious look from Rani.

"Mbak Mel, sorry. I believe you, mbak," said Rani. the woman held Melati's hand until finally Melati stopped.

"Thank you Rani. Reassure Tika's mother that I just came to this hospital. There's a cctv if he wants proof."

Until he came out of Regina's room. Melati can see if Tika's mother has not fully believed in her.

"Yes mbak. Don't bring it to mind huh," Rani said. Jasmine nodded her head.

"Sir, do you not know what is the cause of Tika's mother less trust mbak Melati?" rani asked softly and sounded heart-felt.

Melati frowned. All this time he felt like he did nothing after Kevin and Regina got married. Even he gives spirit to Regina and avoids Kevin. Even today, Kevin has already confirmed that only Regina is in his heart. But why does Tika's mother still lack confidence in her?.

"What do you mean Ran?" ask Melati confused.

"Tika's mother guessed that Melati's mother still had a hard time releasing Kevin's brother."

"Jeez."

Melati was so shocked to hear that fact. It feels like his sacrifice is not appreciated. At a time when everything was almost fine. The unfounded guesses from Tika's mother screwed things up. Don't come, as soon as Regina wakes up. Her best friend was affected by Tika's mother's allegations.

Melati left the hospital carrying new heart wounds from Tika's mother's suspicion. Even though it's like that. Melati will ignore Tika's mother's guess. Because according to Melati, there's nothing else she should explain to Tika's mother because Kevin already loves his best friend. Let Kevin's attitude that shows his love for Regina make Tika's mother sure that between herself and Kevin there is no longer a relationship.

Melati arrived on campus an hour earlier than she had planned. Suppose Tika's mother's attitude does not suspect her. Maybe Melati's still in Regina's ward.

To drive away the feeling of loneliness, Melati finally sent a message to Reza to come to campus faster. Melati developed her smile seeing the man actually coming from the direction of the library.

"Mel, how's Regina doing?" ask Reza.

"You want to see Regina?. He's still in a coma."

Reza and Melati were sitting next to each other under a shady tree. Their eyes are straight ahead. The greetings of the students who had passed in front of them were only answered with a smile. In their hearts they felt the same sadness because of the condition of Regina who was not aware.

"You still love Regina, Za?" ask Melati without looking. Melati had no idea what the question was. Melati also already knows that Reza likes a student on campus. Melati just make sure whether the love in Reza's heart is really no more to Regina or not. Because sometimes, many men are open to other women but still in love with the woman of his past.

"Can an ex not ask the news of his ex-girlfriend?" ask Reza back. Reza suspects that Melati's question came up because she asked him about Regina.

"could. I just wanted to let you know that Kevin loves Regina."

"Good then. Isn't that what we want. I've released Regina from my heart Mel. It was difficult at first. But the more I open myself up to a woman. Regina can be replaced in my heart. After all for what tortures self loving people's wives. It's not just Regina who's a beautiful and kind woman, is it?.

"Don't tell me that the beautiful and kind woman you mean is me, Za."

This time Melati laughed. Other than Regina,. Melati can joke freely with her best friend's ex-lover.

"That you feel beautiful."

"Kan emang is beautiful. Blind if you don't admit I'm beautiful."

"It looks like Sasa loh Mel."

"That's it!" jasmine replied pouting made Reza laugh and pinched Melati's cheek.

Reza looked at Melati's face. It is true that the woman next to him is beautiful and maybe all the men on campus admit that Melati is indeed beautiful. But it's not just the beauty of the face that makes Reza fall in love with Melati. But also the beauty of the heart of the woman.

Reza smile. Somehow later he expressed his love for Melati which surely at this time Reza wants to first establish himself and enjoy his togetherness with Melati as a friend. And as a friend who loves Melati silence. Reza will keep the woman of his dreams from a prankster who tries to get close to Melati.

Melati does not know, Reza always thinks about himself almost every time and has a beautiful dream of their relationship later..

"When you have time Mel. Come see Regina," asked Reza. His intention was to visit Regina but behind that he deliberately asked Melati to accompany him so that they had a lot of waktru together. At the end of this, their togetherness decreases because of their respective activities. Reza is busy working at night while Melati is busy making time for her mom.

"I don't know. I'll let you know if I have time" replied Melati. The woman's hand was busy reaching into her bag because her phone was ringing.

Melati held her breath for a moment looking at the name of the caller on her phone. The number of her house worker who does not usually contact her if she knows Melati is on campus.

"What's Mel doing?" ask Reza. Melati's hand was already vibrating holding the phone but not answering the call either.

"Mel Jayab. What's up?. Who called you?" ask Reza. Finally Melati answered the call along with Sasa who also appeared in front of Melati and Reza.

"Hurry home Mel," said the house worker Melati from across the street.

"Za, I want to talk" said Sasa, holding Reza's hand. Reza sounded clucked and looked at Sasa in annoyance.

Which man is not upset gets the treatment of the super aggressive Sasa. Suppose Reza's male playboi, Sasa is definitely in Reza's decapan at this time.. But Reza is not a male playboi who plays with women just to channel desire. Reza is a good man who does not judge women by facial beauty. As beautiful as any woman who approaches her but if she does not have kindness, she is definitely eliminated. Sasa was not a woman of kindness. Reza could confirm that from Sasa's very selfish attitude.

"Speak what else Sa?" ask Reza annoyed.

Reza wanted to chase after Melati but Sasa's strong hand holding her hand made Reza only able to resist getting annoyed. Reza was very sure there was something that made Melati run after getting the call. Reza wants to accompany Melati, making sure the woman of his dreams is in good shape.

"We'll talk somewhere else, can't we?"

"Sorry Sa. I have a tenth-hour class. If you want to talk. Just talk here."

"It's not good here, Za. Just another place. Upstairs, you want to?" tawar Sasa's.

Reza shook his head quickly. The upper floor that Sasa intended was the last floor of the lecture building. On that floor there was only a computer practice room. If there is no practice can be sure the floor is quiet. Reza did not want to be invited to Sana because this is not the first Sasa invited himself there. Once, Reza wanted to. And on that top floor. Sasa bravely kissed Reza without permission. And this time. Reza did not want to be invited by Sasa for any reason because he did not want the incident to kiss without permission was repeated.

Sasa looks disappointed with Reza's headband. But the woman could still hide the disappointment by smiling sweetly at Reza. Sasa wants to look good in any situation in front of Reza because Sasa is eager to get Reza at any cost.

"How about in the cafeteria," bargained Sasa again. Kevin shook his head as if he wanted to talk right now and in that place as well. Reza tried to remove her hand from Sasa's hand but the stronger the woman turned Reza's hand. And even Sasa clutched Reza's hand until his hand stuck to the chewy hill of Sasa's.

Reza looked around. Many students passed by and some looked at them with disdain. Sasa thought that if Reza was getting interested in him with his behavior it was not. Reza is getting disgusted at Sasa.

Sasa did that. But Reza was responding to the embarrassment. Reza felt he had been judged negatively by other students. Reza pulled her hand with all her might until she almost fell down.

"In the car only yuk," Sasa bargained again.

"Enough Sasa. What exactly is your will?" ask Reza. Really Reza could no longer hold back her anger because of Sasa's indecency.

"Simple as Za. I want our relationship to be no ordinary relationship. I love you so much Za. What's the trouble with returning my love?"

Still shamelessly, Sasa declared his love in a public place. His love statement has been heard publicly and Sasa does not care about it. Sasa really did not consider if there was a rejection of him would definitely be embarrassed. He should have learned from a time before. Reza always refused.

"My answer is still the same Sa. I can't be in a relationship with you. I don't love you. I'm going to college seriously. And I don't want to be bound yet" Reza replied with an angry look at Sasa. Despite being angry, Reza spoke in a rather slow voice. He still has a sense of shame if his rejection is heard by the public. Being chased by an aggressive woman like Sasa doesn't make Reza proud that she's uncomfortable with.

"Then I have to try hard again to reach your heart, Za."

"No Sa. Enough to get here. I make sure whenever my heart can't be attracted to you. Like I said before. I already have a dream woman."

"What is that woman Melati?"

"You don't need to know who that woman is."

"And I won't let you be with that woman."

"Don't feel like you have a right to me Sa. Don't make me angry. You deserve to love anyone. But you must not force your will. If you keep chasing me. Don't blame my attitude tomorrow for embarrassing you."

"You're the one who sucked Za. What do you see from Melati. His kindness?. You're the one who never remembers my kindness."

Instantly Reza remembered Sasa's kindness for hearing the woman's words. It turns out that kindness is only to ensnare him. In fact, Reza had also tried to return the money he had borrowed from Sasa. Sasa refused for sincere reasons of helping. Apparently not. Right now, Sasa seemed to be hinting at his kindness being reciprocated by being related to Sasa.

"Sasa, if the money I borrowed was what you meant as the kindness I ever received from you. Relax, I'll pay you back soon."

"It's cool that you talk like that now. Try you to think. If I hadn't helped you then. You must have missed a semester. Don't look at the value of the money. But you should have seen the impact of his kindness."

Reza felt no need to extend the talks with Sasa. If the woman is smart and responsive. Sasa should not be chasing after himself anymore. Reza left Sasa at that spot by running towards the campus building.

While Melati had to endure crying throughout the journey. Given the condition of Mama Lena, the woman had already guessed what happened. Despite that, Melati still wished Mama Lena a long life because only that woman she had right now.

Arriving in front of his own house. Melati felt her breath was stifled to see her neighbors coming in and out of her house. His feet felt heavy stepping into the house until a mother realized the existence of Melati in front of the house. The mother approached Melati and led the woman into the house.

"Delati has come" said one mother. Melati is crying. He had thought that today was his last time with his mother. The woman who could work looking after Mama Lena was immediately seen emerging from the room with a crying face.

"Auntie."

"Mother Lena is waiting for you Mel" said the woman. Auntie took Melati into Lena's mom's room. And the view in the room made Melati cry.

"Mama," called Melati to her mother who saw herself with a single breath.

"Auntie, let's take Mama to the hospital. Please, whoever ordered a taxi now," Melati said in a panic. The neighbors who had arrived at the house could only cry.

"Still yourself Melati. Mama Lena just wants to see you at the end of her life" said a mother known to Melati who works as a nurse at the hospital. The mother was also the one this week to routinely change the infusion for Mama Lena. As a medical worker, the nurse's mother learned that Lena's mother's illness was getting worse. His body had already rejected anything that was put into his body

Melati approaches Mama Lena. Only the woman's hand could reach Melati's face and it was only for a moment. Because not long after that the hand drooped limp along with the breath of Mama Lena who stopped.

Melati cried roaring roaring seeing the departure of her biological mother. Starting today, he has officially lived a kara. Even Regina who was expected to console herself in this grief could not see Mama Lena for the last time.

"Goodbye ma," said Melati slowly while closing the eyes of Mama Lena who had not closed perfectly. Melati kissed Lena's mother's face and hugged the woman one last time.

Heavy but must be willing and sincere. At a young age, Melati had to lose her mother, a single parent for her since her father died.

Melati had to contact some relatives who still live in one city with them. Melati could not take care of the burial of the mother she loved so much. He needs relatives and indeed all relatives should follow the departure of the mother.

Jasmine leaned her body against the wall listlessly. Tears could not stop coming out of her eyes. A time like this. He needs the hug and support of his friend. And apparently, Melati didn't get that from her best friend.

"Re, wake up Re. I'm right on my own right now" said Melati. At the time of Lena's mother's death, Melati still had to cry for her best friend.

"Mel" called someone to make Melati look over. Reza was not far from him. After I finished talking to Sasa. Reza thought so much about Melati that the man did not enter the room. He decides to follow Regina to this house because Reza thinks something happened to Mama Lena.

Reza's premonition was far more painful than the real reality. Seeing Melati go in a hurry, she thought if Mama Lena was critical it turned out that the woman was gone for good.

Reza approached Melati and immediately hugged the woman. Melati returned the hug. He spilled all his grief on Reza's chest. It is undeniable that the arrival of Reza in the house can replace Regina.

"Don't cry anymore Mel. Seeing you sad and broken like this. I too am sad and devastated Mel. We cannot deny destiny. Whatever lives in this world. If the time comes it will end with death as well. So it's not just you ever left because of death. Everyone will experience that. This is the best for Mama Lena. Mama Lena doesn't feel any pain anymore. So you have to be sincere!"

Melati nodded her head at Reza's advice but her heart and eyes could not be compromised. Melati is still crying and not willing to be abandoned by her mother forever.

"When you cry, it can make you feel relieved. Then cry here" said Reza pulling Regina into a hug. He could not bear to see the woman of his dreams was exhausted from sobbing.
