The Uterus for My Husband's Best Friend
DEAN'S SUSPICIONS

Felichia immediately stared as suddenly the door in front of him opened from the inside and Dean who was now standing in front of Felichia.

"What are you doing?" Dean asked in a cold tone as usual.

"Erlan disappeared from the hospital. Do you have any contact with Mama Astri or Papa Panji I can call?" Felichia asked to the point without even looking at Dean's face.

Felichia also bit her lower lip several times while talking to Dean.

"Are you not keeping your in-law number?" Dean asked as he clucked repeatedly. The man reached into his pants pocket to grab the phone, then fiddled with his phone for a while, before showing Felichia the number of Papa Panji.

"You got a pen? I can't memorize it," Felichia laughed stiffly.

Dean clucked once again.

"Do you have a cell phone?" Dean asked staring in full search at Felichia.

The woman shook her head.

Dean walked over to the small table in the corner of the second floor and picked up the phone from the house, then pressed Papa Panji's number on the phone, before giving it to Felichia.

"Thank you," Felichia said still without staring at Dean's annoying face.

Dean said no word and quickly walked up the stairs.

Felichia just remembered that she forgot to give Dean Melanie a message.

Ah, but Dean's going downstairs, too, so Felichia doesn't have to deliver.

Dean had disappeared and went down the stairs, when Felichia's phone to Papa Panji finally hooked up.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Pa! This is Felichia," Felichia replied quickly after hearing Papa Panji's voice.

"What's wrong?"

Papa Panji's tone of voice sounded cynical.

"Where did you take Erlan, Pa?" Ask Felichia to the point.

"It's none of your business! Just talk to Mama Astri!"

Papa Panji's reply sounded snapping. Not long after, Mama Astri's voice change was heard from the other end of the phone.

"Erlan is still on medication! So you just focus on your work at Alexander's house! Don't ask me about Erlan!"

"But Felichia is Erlan's wife, Ma! Felichia just wants to meet Erlan and know Erlan's condition!" Lecar Felichia with a clear tone of voice.

"Didn't Mama also have promised Felichia, if mama and Papa will not undermine the relationship Felichia and Erlan again, from Felichia would be a surrogate womb for the family Alexander? Mama didn't forget Mama's promise, did she?" Felichia said at length reminiscent of the promise once uttered by the mother-in-law.

"Of course mom remembers! Mama's not senile, Fe!" Mama Astri answered, her voice sounding upset.

"Then where is Erlan Mama hiding? Felichia wants to see Erlan, Ma!" Pinta Felichia begged her mother-in-law.

"Erlan is still recovering. Later if your business with Dean Alexander is done, Mama will not prevent you from meeting with Erlan!"

"After all, Erlan isn't looking for you right now, so you don't have to see her first!"

Mama Astri even made Felichia furrow both eyebrows.

Erlan's not looking for Felichia?

How could?

Could Erlan have lost her memory?

"Already! Mama hang up and finish your business with Dean Alexander! Only then can you meet Erlan!"

"But please tell me where Erlan is, Ma!" Felichia begged once again along with the phone that was cut off unilaterally by Mama Astri.

"Mama!" Call Felichia in a frustrated tone.

Felichia immediately went into the room and slammed the door, without Felichia realizing that there was someone who had eavesdropped on Felichia's conversation on the phone with Astri's mother.

A person was still at the end of the stairs, until a call jolted his daydream.

"Dean! Have you met yet?" Call Melanie from the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes, Honey! Found already!" Dean answered back down the stairs with his mind wandering everywhere.

Why is that woman so innocent and willingly lied to by Mrs Prakasa?

And Dean turns out to be just as stupid as Felichia, because he already believes in Mama Astri's words about Erlan who he says will soon be divorced from Felichia.

Erlan and Felichia's household had never been in trouble!

Mama Astri and Papa Panji have completely deceived Dean and made Dean sleep with his best friend's wife.

You fucker!

Navya guides Erlan whose steps are still limping towards a gazebo in the middle of the tea plantation.

"You remember this place, Erlan?" Navya asked Erlan who was circulating her gaze around the gazebo.

"Yes, we used to come here a lot, and we raced to go up that hill there." Erlan's index finger was already pointing towards the hill on the south side.

"Then our parents will look for us both to confusion, and we even hide behind a tall tea tree," Erlan gave a small laugh remembering about her childhood with Navya in this place.

"I also remember when you and your family moved overseas and then we broke up. When are you back in the country, Nav?" Erlan asked next seriously towards Navya.

"Just the last few months. And it turns out that you already had a lover when I came back, and then you married your lover a few months later without inviting me," Navya replied with a chuckle.

"You're so mean!" Navya continued while hitting Erlan's chest.

"Why didn't I invite you? Aren't we good friends?" Erlan asked confusedly.

Navya sniffed both of her shoulders.

"You didn't invite anyone and married secretly. I don't know why either."

"You've met my wife, Fe-" Erlan tried to remember the name of his wife who said Mama Astri had run away because Erlan was in a coma and never came to her senses.

Why could Erlan marry such a cruel woman?

"Felichia!" Navya said the full name of Erlan's wife.

"Yes, Felichia. Have you met him?" Ask Erlan again.

"Only once, when you were just transferred to the treatment room. Then after that I never saw him again" Navya answered a little.

"She's a cruel woman, huh? For even leaving while I was struggling to live," Erlan smiled wryly.

"But we never know why Felichia left, Erlan! So we shouldn't be prejudiced against him. Maybe he's on business or there's something important he has to work out" Navya's advice is to think wisely

"I'm sure Felichia will definitely come back to see you, Erlan!" Navya continued who had grabbed Erlan's hand and grasped it.

"Yes, I hope! I want to listen to the explanation and ensure the continuity of the relationship between us," concluded Erlan who looked back at the expanse of tea trees whose leaves were still wet due to the drizzling rain that had just poured down on the earth.
