THE FORTUNATES

GUEST ARRIVAL

Kendrick's mother loosened her arms from Beatrice, then wiped away the tears that drenched her cheeks. The two women exchanged glances then threw smiles born on their faces – each.

“ Beatrice, never hesitate to say anything to Mom, do not hesitate if you need anything, son, because you are part of our family now “, said Kendrick's mother to Beatrice as they continue to tidy up – items Beatrice in the closet room.

“ Yes Mom, there is too much you give to Beatrice “ replied Beatrice politely.

Pyyaaaarrr

Lamat – lamat heard the sound of objects made of glass or ceramic falling, the sound source was heard from the lower floor. Beatrice flinched then carefully listened to the sound of people clashing their mouths from downstairs.

“ Mom, Beatrice will see who comes “ then Beatrice comes out of the dressing room, and does not find Kendrick in the room. He walked out of the room and down the stairs to the bottom floor, Kendrick followed Beatrice half-run.

“ Take Beatrice to room bu “ cried Kendrick as she saw Beatrice and her Mom almost arrive downstairs. Beatrice saw a long-haired woman standing on her back against the stairs and her face facing Kendrick.

Surrounding Kendrick and the woman were visible shards of clear glass scattered, also exposed an object similar to a large white photo frame in a broken condition on part of the side.

Without answering anything, Kendrick's mother immediately pulled Beatrice's hand to prevent the girl from running away to Kendrick. With just one nod Kendrick's mother managed to take Beatrice away from the commotion that was happening.

“ Mother! It's Regina Bu, is she Kendrick's wife-to-be mom? “ shouted the long-haired woman while running towards the stairs. But Kendrick then pulled the woman's hand so she could not reach her mother.

“ Gina! Enough, what do you want? No need to involve my mother or anyone else! “ Kendrick yells at the woman he still has his hand on. Seeing the reaction of Kendrick full of anger that lit – flames of the woman who turned out to be Regina then rushed to hug Kendrick while sobbing.

“ Why do you have so much heart for me Ken? Why did you marry another woman? You just want to make me jealous and beg you, don't you, Ken? “ isak Regina while hitting – hit the chest field Kendrick. But the handsome man immediately grabbed one of Regina's hands that still held her tightly, he tried to release the hug.

“ Regina, listen to me, there is no relationship between us. There is no feeling left for you. I got married because I love her “ Kendrick said with angry eyes.

“ Lie! Look at this picture of Ken, this is our prewedding photo from three years ago, Ken, look at you smiling happily with me. Only I can make you happy “ Regina increasingly fussing while pointing the direction of the photo frame whose glass has been scattered.

“ That was Gina, not anymore. Don't ever come near me again or come to this house again, this is not your place “.

“ Lies Kendrick I know you still love me “ Regina still insists on her argument, as soon as she grabs Kendrick's neck and tries to kiss Kendrick by force.

“ Get rid of your unclean lips from me “ with rough Kendrick pushing Regina's body to fall into a slump on the sofa.

“ Unclean lips? You enjoyed Ken too! “ Regina's squealing is getting louder.

“ Not just me! Even other guys enjoy it! “ then Kendrick grabbed Regina's hand to get up from the couch. He pulled the woman by force, and took her out of her house.

“ Kendrick, all that misunderstanding, I never used you Ken, I love you so much Ken, both past and present. Let me explain Ken “ and Regina chattering while trying to stay at Kendrick's house. But what power, Kendrick's body is too stocky so he will easily take Regina out of his house.

“ Never come back again “ said Kendrick with angry eyes, while slamming the iron fence when Regina was outside the house building.

Then with a feeling of uncertainty and anger that began to shake Kendrick into the house. She finds Beatrice helping Aunt clean up the messy glass on the floor, while her mother looks confused at Regina's recent arrival.

“ Stop! Let auntie clean “ Kendrick forcefully pull off Beatrice's hand still holding the broom. Beatrice became confused to see the look in Kendrick's eyes filled with anger, the woman just kept quiet and still holding a broom in her hand.

“ Mother come home, I will talk to Beatrice “ Kendrick said as she grabbed Beatrice's hand a little rough.

“ But son, just talk here, I want to know what really happened to you guys “ Mother Kendrick trying to talk to her favorite son.

“ Ma'am I beg “ Kendrick replied with a long sigh.

“ Alright Mom will go home, don't hurt each other. Temptation of people who will get married is a lot, I beg you not to hurt “ Mother Kendrick's message when she saw her son pull Beatrice towards the second floor.

“ Bi, please while listening yes, do not let them fight “ said Kendrick's mother slowly to the aunt who is still cleaning the room.

“ Good Mistress “ replied aunty while nodding.

Kendrick's mother immediately left Kendrick's house with a feeling of was – was, also with many questions buried in her heart. The middle-aged woman still wants to find out the cause of Kendrick's cancellation of her marriage to Regina three years ago.

“ Ken let go of my hand, sick Ken “ said Beatrice half-screaming as they walked into Kendrick's room.

“ What did you do earlier below? I told you not to come any closer! Why do you know he's gone? You listened to our conversation, didn't you? “ attack Kendrick on Beatrice as she throws Beatrice's hand in the air.

“ Kendrick! I wouldn't have known that he was gone if you hadn't slammed the door that hard! “ with a high tone Beatrice does not want to lose with Kendrick.

“ Come here, have you never seen anyone come in and out through this window? I saw you dragging her out of your house, so I went straight down “ now Beatrice's tone is not as high as it was. Waving the vitrase that covered the entire glass window, Beatrice spread her gaze around the front of the house.

“ Did he forbid you to marry Ken? “ ask Beatrice again.

Kendrick still remained silent not giving Beatrice any answer, dropping herself into bed. Lying while staring at the sky – the sky of his room, remained silent and did not answer the slightest question Beatrice.

“ Looks like he still loves you very much Ken, he doesn't want to lose you. This is the second time I've found Regina meeting you, Ken. Are you good – is fine? “ Beatrice then approached the man she was talking to.

“ Hah, love me? Stop all your bullshit Be “ Kendrick snorts his ass off.

“ Then why did he prevent you from getting married? It must be because he was afraid of losing you Ken. “ again sounded Beatrice voice her argument.

“ Must have been very painful for Regina “ said Beatrice pretentiously.

“ Do you still love his Ken? “ ask Beatrice. But the handsome man just kept silent did not give any response to Beatrice's question.

“ I think you still love him very much Ken “ again sound Beatrice voice answer her own questions, but this time implied disappointment in her tone of speech.

“ No need to interfere in the affairs of my feelings Be, just take care of your own problems “ replied Kendrick coldly.

“ Alright Ken, I understand “ replied Beatrice with a sigh, then she left the man's room.

Beatrice starts to be unable to control her heart, a lot of things she wants to know but Kendrick looks very closed and it makes her hurt. Beatrice did not realize, something was starting to grow in her heart.
