The Seed of my Friend's Beloved
The Debate of Regina's parents

"Whose is this?" asked Mr. Bayu in a booming voice while showing the pregnancy test kit on the face of Regina and her sister Rina. Regina who felt it was hers could only bow her head in fear whereas Lina was confused by her papa question.

"What is this pa?" asked Rina innocently. The question that confirms if Rina does not understand the tool. Siska's mother who had been crying had now set her sights on Regina. The woman seemed to be convinced that the pregnancy test belonged to Regina.

"Rina went into your room" ordered Mr. Bayu. She has found the owner of the pregnancy test just looks at and compares the attitude shown by her daughter. With a puzzled face, Lina walked into her room.

"Regina, explain" said Mr. Bayu slowly. His tone is softened. Mr. Bayu and Siska's mother looked at her daughter with deep wounds.

"I'm sorry pa, ma."

There is no point in denying or trying to cover up the pregnancy. From the beginning, Regina had tried to cover up the calamity that befell her but today due to her carelessness of throwing the pregnancy kit in the garbage basket made the secret that she was trying to cover must be known by her parents at this time.

"So this is really yours?" siska's mother asked in a voice that shook from crying. She hoped, Regina said that the pregnancy kit was not hers. But an apology from her daughter confirmed the device was hers.

Regina did not answer. The woman was crying sobbing. Seeing the wounds in the eyes of both parents. Of course, Regina was hurt and felt guilty. He also did not want something like this to happen to him but whose name was the fate that could be evaded.

"Jawab Regina," said Mr. Bayu. The man wanted a definite answer even though he had suspected that Regina was really pregnant.

Regina was surprised to hear the voice of Mr. Bayu who snapped. Regina to shiver in fear saw the anger of Pak Bayu that she had never seen like this before.

"Pa, I don't want this to happen to me. This is a real disaster."

Plaque.

Mr. Bayu pulled his daughter and gave a slap once on Regina's cheek. Disappointment and heartache that makes Pak Bayu can not control himself. While Siska's mother just looked at Regina who rubbed her cheeks. The woman could not defend Regina because what happened to Regina at this time was a very fatal mistake that put disgrace on their faces.

"This is your reply Regina to your parents. We took pains to make money for our needs and the cost of your education. But your reply is a disgrace to us" said Mr. Bayu disappointed. How difficult it is to find money in urban areas has been felt by the man. Mr. Bayu tried to survive for the sake of his family and the cost of his children's education. He hopes that his three children can become scholars will have a decent life. Mr. Bayu does not want the life of his children to be like their lives today.

"Who is that man?" ask Mr. Bayu again. Regina lowered her head. Her lips were heavy to mention Kevin by name. Regina is very pessimistic if Kevin will be willing to take responsibility for the pregnancy. Last afternoon, Regina tried to tell Kevin about the pregnancy, but he didn't have a chance. Kevin invites Melati to rush home and not look at herself at all.

"Jawab Re, the man must take responsibility before your stomach grows," said Siska's mother. Since finding the pregnancy device earlier this afternoon, Siska's mother could not bear to know who the man who impregnated her daughter. Before calling Regina and Rina to that living room. Mr. Bayu and Ms. Siska also agreed that the solution to the problem should be to marry her daughter to the man.

"Stupid. That man is not willing to take responsibility. Bring that man here. Or we find the man in his house" said Mr Bayu. As the head of the family. The man is obliged to maintain his self-esteem and the good name of his family.

Regina's still crying. How would he bring Kevin to his house if the man alone didn't feel like doing that.

"Well, if the girls aren't properly looked after. It was as if giving permission to stay at Melati's house. Look ma, the fruit of this way of educating you."

"Loh, papa is throwing all his guilt at me. Regina not only once twice stayed at Melati's house. Since they were in school. Mama wouldn't have allowed Regina to go there if not Melati herself who asked for permission."

"Therein lies his mistake. Suppose you did not give permission to stay at someone else's house. Maybe it didn't happen like this. It's already happening. Regina's pregnant. Ready to be ashamed."

"If you knew it would happen like this. Nor will my mother allow me. Don't throw mistakes at me. Supposedly, papa should also show objection if not happy princess staying at Melati's house."

"You should pay more attention to them. I'm tired of working but I got this. The child does not know himself. You should be aware of how our family Regina is doing. If you can't make your parents happy, you shouldn't bother."

"Father, don't say as if only you were working. I work too."

Siska's mother doesn't accept being blamed for Regina's pregnancy.

"See Regina. As the eldest child you should give an example to your younger brother. But look, you're giving a disgrace to our family. You should have been more sensitive to see our struggle to raise you.".

Regina was only able to hear and witness the debate between her parents because of the problems that befell her. He expressed the anger of his parents. Without being reminded, Regina also realized that she had set a bad example to her parents.

"I gave one week to mi Regina, to bring the man before me. If not, please take your foot out of this house."

Heavy but Mr. Bayu must say it. Suppose not to think of sins. Mr. Bayu will do a shortcut to overcome the problem.

Even though in her daughter's womb it's just a lump of blood. As a man of faith, Pak Bayu will not dare to harm the fetus.

Regina ventured to look at her papa's face. Two difficult choices that he had to choose one. Seeing the anger and hurt in the eyes of his parents. Regina promises to tell Kevin the pregnancy at all costs.
