Chapter 51



"Can I ask you something?" Regina opened her voice, they had finished eating and washed their hands. Regina had also taken her medicine.


"What?" Kevin looked at Regina who was sitting sweetly on her bed. While he himself sat in the single seat beside Regina.


Regina covered her lips, she was stringing the right sentences for the question she was about to ask.


"What?" Ask Kevin again.


"That's... Are you really going to divorce me?" Regina asked, she squeezed out her cold sweaty fingers.


Kevin was silent for a moment, looking deeply into his wife's eyes. Is it okay Kevin called her a wife? they are still husband and wife.


"Really?" Repeat Regina.


"Yes. I'll take care of our farewell letter soon." Kevin's chest felt tight as he said that sentence. His neck was suffocated by himself.


Regina looked at him silently, her tears forcing her to come out.


"Don't cry Regina, don't cry in front of her. Don't ask for mercy on her." Inner Regina. Trying to encourage himself.


"I know you want freedom. It's my fault, it's been over a month and I haven't released you. I'll take care of it soon. Now go to sleep, it's night." Kevin continued, he moved and laid his body on the sofa. With one hand, he circled over his face, covering his eyes.


Regina tilted her body, pulling the blanket up to her chest. Crying, Regina came back crying. He closed his mouth tightly, trying not to try in his so that Kevin could not hear the sound of his crying. Regina resigned if one day she received a divorce warrant from Kevin. Maybe in a minute. Regina didn't want to fight, for what she was fighting for.


For his heart ? Regina was tired of fighting about the heart.


For his household? I don't know what kind of household he had with Kevin this month.


For the child ? that's more unlikely.


Regina's self-esteem seemed to be trampled on as soon as she found out Kevin gave her the contraceptive pill. He gave his body to Kevin not as a wife, but only as an impingement. The thought was always running around in Regina's mind, making her even more sick and difficult to forget what had happened. Regina fell asleep in her tears, the tears on her cheeks began to dry up by themselves. Leave the rest of those tears on his pillow.

"Good morning by noon, miss." Greet the nurse as she brushed her smile at Regina. He checked Regina's body temperature because Doctor Rio was on duty at noon today.


Regina had already opened her eyes perfectly, she was looking at her surroundings that there was only a nurse there.


"You're looking for someone Miss?"


"Are you looking for your husband?" Ask her again because Regina did not answer her question. Slowly Regina nodded, indeed the fact that she was looking for Kevin, her husband.


"Your husband has left for work Miss." Said the nurse.


"Oh, I'm up late." Regina Mumbles.


"Your body temperature is normal Miss, Doctor Rio said this afternoon you can go home.


"Yes, thank you." Regina.


Mami Ira comes, she helps Regina get ready to go home. Mami Ira has invited Regina to go home to her parents first, but Regina still insists on going home to Kevin. Mami Ira let her go and drove Regina back to Kevin's house.

Kevin has been at the airport since morning, all his needs have been taken care of by Liana and Nuky (Men). Nuky is in charge of joining Kevin to XX country, while Liana has to stay in the office to help Aldo.


"What time will the jet land Ky ?" Ask Kevin.


"Four ten sir, it's already ninety-thirty. The jet will soon land. Do you want anything?" Ask Nuky.


"No." Brief Kevin.


Kevin looked back at the window he had opened a little. Her heart had been so riled up ever since she left Regina in the hospital earlier. He could not even say goodbye to the woman.


Jet has landed, Kevin immediately took his phone.


"No. I can't bother him with Anton. She must be with Anton." Kevin canceled his intention to contact Regina. He put his phone back in his pocket.


"Sir, the car is ready. We're going straight to the management office." Nuky said as he approached Kevin.


"We have a meeting with the model who will be our Brand Ambassador sir." Nuky opened the back door of the car. Then he sat down at the steering wheel.


"Master, this is Miss Carlyn. The best model of this country." Manager Carlyn. Kevin and Carlyn shake hands. They all sat down and started talking about their employment contracts. Every now and then Carlyn steals a glance at Kevin, Kevin's handsome face and cold demeanor make Carlyn challenged.


"Why do I have to be the model for this ad, why don't you participate in it?" Carlyn wiped away the serious chatter, making everyone turn to her as she frowned.


"Why? is there something wrong with my words?" Ask Carlyn.


"No, I don't agree to that. I'm not going to be in this ad." Said Kevin coldly.


"But sir, I think Miss Carlyn's suggestion isn't too bad either. This can benefit both parties, one on the advertising side and one on the company side. It also benefits both countries." Manager Carlyn said. Kevin and Nuky looked at each other with their own thoughts.


"I'm sorry but this is beyond the original intention of our contract. Here only Miss Carlyn will star in this ad, I won't be in that ad." Kevin strongly rejected Carlyn's intentions. Besides he does not have expertise in acting, he also does not like to be close to other women.


The meeting was getting serious, with Carlyn and the management team still wanting Kevin to be in the ad. Kevin also stick to his stance that will not be involved in it. Until lunchtime arrives, there is still no certainty between Kevin and Carlyn's management team.


They take their lunch break first. Carlyn and the management team have offered Kevin lunch together, but Kevin refused, he and Nuky went to find a restaurant not too far from the management office.


"I would never want to star in an ad with that woman." Kevin said with a sigh. He sat his body on the restaurant chair violently.


"Sir, Mr. Great is calling." Nuky gave Kevin his phone.


"Yes Dad?"


"How was the meeting?"


"They wanted Kevin to be the star of the commercial Well, Kevin turned it down"


"But why?"


"Kevin's not interested Well, Kevin's no talent in acting either."


"Thank you Vin, this benefits both countries.The problem of acting you can learn from the Model that we are going to Contract, Miss Carlyn is the best and famous model there."


"But Yeah.."


"No buts, you should be the star of the commercial." Tukas the Great Father. He also cut his call unilaterally. Kevin put his phone on the table rough.


"Please sir.." A waiter puts drinking water and food on Kevin and Nuky's desk.


"Thank you." Nuky. Kevin massaged the base of his forehead thinking of Grandfather's speech.


"It's what I don't like about going to the company, Dad always forces me." Said Kevin.


"But sir, I think..."


"You also agree with them !" Kevin cried while looking intently at Nuky.


"No sir, no. That's up to you. Please drink the coffee pack." Kevin brought the coffee cup closer to Kevin timidly.

Regina sat pensively under the bed. Observe every corner of his room. There's Kevin's shadow everywhere. Mami Ira has come home to visit Regina's ailing aunt. Regina moved, took her suitcase. Open it and put your clothes in it. Regina sighed harshly. He decided to get out of that house.


The sound of the doorbell stopped Regina, she went downstairs to open the door.


"Re sorry, I just came." Jessica said.


"It's okay, you happened to come. So help me now." Regina invited Jessica in. He took his best friend's hand to his room.


"Where are you going Re?" Jessica was surprised to see the suitcase filled with clothes.


"I'm going to go. Can I stay with you for a while?" Ask Regina.


"For ever is okay Re, but why are you leaving? tell me the reason."


"Later I'll tell you, now help me."
