"Regina, what are you doing here....?"


After their apartment bell rang, Bastian rushed to the door, to ascertain who had come to see them that morning.


After he opened the door, he found Regina standing in front of him. It turned out that the woman again, her former lover.


The woman looked messy, with hair that was not at all neatly combed. Coupled with his appearance that was inversely proportional when they were still dating first.


This was probably because, Regina had become a mother. Appearances are sometimes the last number on their priority list. The most important thing is the child, child and child.


Without a cue, Regina quickly hugged Bastian. He then wept, shedding everything he felt, these past few days. Bastian who is not ready with the situation looks pecking. Trying to think for a moment, so that he can determine the next action.


"Bas, please save me from Def...!" regina said on the sidelines of her cries.


"I'm afraid of Bas, I'm so scared." he added.


Hearing that Bastian quickly understood what the purpose of Regina's arrival was. Before Amanda comes and sees them, she must break free from the woman's embrace.


"Bas.." said Amanda again while still crying in front of Bastian. She later recounted what she experienced some time ago, when she met Def her ex-husband

Amanda listened carefully to all the explanations of her husband, about Regina's arrival.


"I don't understand why he always involves me in his every problem. Though he and I are no longer anyone," complained Bastian


"I'm sorry, Manda. If all this makes you uncomfortable," he said again


"Yes, Bas, it's okay. I trust you....!" amanda replied with a sincere smile to her husband.


"Thank you.....!"


They both spend their weekends at home. This has become a habit of both. Maybe because of so many office activities, making both reluctant to go anywhere. Stay in the apartment, while chatting lightly, about work or other things.


"H.....? You're serious....?" amanda was a little surprised


"Then, where will we live....?" rejoicing


"We just moved to Dad's house. Or if you want, we buy another apartment or a new house, no problem" Bastian explained


"How's...?"


"I'm afraid, what if Regina did something bad to you. We told him from the beginning that you were my cousin. And just then when he came, he saw you again,"


"You saw his reaction, he was suspicious of our relationship" Bastian said at length


Amanda nodded, she strongly agreed with her husband's thinking. Not only Regina, everyone would also definitely not believe it, if they were cousins. Plus, they live in the same apartment.


"Eeem, you're right Bas....!"


"How about we move into Dad's house. While we monitor their condition,"


"Dad and Mom aren't young anymore, Bas, they're gonna need us,"


Bastian agrees with his wife's idea. By living with parents, he can monitor the condition of both. Make sure everything they need is met.


"But, Manda....?"


"What if Mom asks about your pregnancy like that...?" ask Bastian.


This was actually something that always stuck with his mind. He did not want Amanda to feel depressed and burdened.


"I'm fine, Bas...! It's only natural that Mom would say that,"


"We tried too. Yeah, maybe it's not time yet, for me to be a mother" Amanda said


"Yes, Manda. I gotcha....! We fought together....!" he hugged his wife
