Marrying My Beloved's Killer
Chapter 71. Tessa Options (2)

Feeling still sleepy, Tessa chose to continue her sleep. In his mind, walking into the forest that he had never been to, certainly requires extra energy. “I have to prepare myself!” mumbling, determined.

After a while passed, the pregnant woman had to wake up from her nap. When he heard a knock on the door of his room. As he gathered his consciousness, Tessa grabbed the handle on the door and opened it.

Tessa rubbed one of her eyes. After that he could see the figure of Bu Ida standing in front of him while smiling.

“Eh, Ms. Ida. What's up, Ma?” tessa asked still in her hoarse voice.

“Wah ... Neng, sorry yes.” Ms. Ida felt guilty for disturbing the deep sleep of the girl who became the new occupant of her house.

“Mother so not good, have disturbed sleep Neng Tessa,” he added.

“Nothing, Bu.” In Tessa's heart, she cursed the owner of the house.

“But what's up, Bu?”

“It ... I want to take lunch,” replied Ms. Ida.

Tessa looked down at her current appearance. “Good Mom. I'll sniffle Mom, yeah.”

Only the red tank top was also the above-knee shorts he wore. It feels very rude to have lunch at the dinner table in such clothes, Tessa thought.

Meanwhile, without Tessa knowing Mother Ida also followed where the direction of the view of the beautiful girl in front of her. Her nerves widened when she saw Tessa's slightly protruding belly.

Is it true my guess? This girl came here for ….

“Bu Ida .. Bu Ida ...” Tessa Seru.

Ms. Ida immediately shook her head. Putting all his bad thoughts to the beautiful girl before him. “Sorry Neng, I dreamt instead,” he said.

“Yes, don't be long. Mom's waiting at the dinner table. You will walk straight down that hallway. The dining room is in the room on the right.” Ida's mother pointed out which way Tessa would go.

Don't want to make Mother Ida wait too long. Also the encouragement of worms in his stomach, who had thrashed to be given food. Finally Tessa undoes her intention to take a bath. As a result, he simply washed his face, brushed his teeth and changed his clothes.

Not to forget Tessa sprayed perfume that scented very sweet. The aroma that comes from the combination of berries and roses to be a complement to his appearance that afternoon.

After feeling her appearance was okay, Tessa then walked out of her room. Slowly, his steps began to go down the hallway according to the instructions of Ms. Ida. Until he found the door on the right, the move came to a halt.

For Tessa, the room is more suitable called the kitchen. Because there are so many cooking tools. The existence of a dining table surrounded by many chairs, maybe making it as a dining room as well.

But who are those chairs for? Ask Tessa in the heart.

Mother Ida who was preparing a snack, turned to look at Tessa. “Sit down and eat. The others are not waiting for you. They had eaten first because they had to return to Village Hall.”

“Others?” Tessa's forehead shrinks. It seemed like it wasn't just her who rented a room in the house of Ms. Ida, she thought.

“Yes, there are 4 other people renting a room here. Everything comes from the city. The difference is, they are all health workers. As for you, hemm ..” Mother Ida seemed to think, remembering the profession of Tessa.

“I'm a student, Bu.”

“Ya .. true that. I forgot,” Bu Ida laughed at herself. “Now eat, you must be very hungry.”

Tessa nodded and sat down on one of the chairs. The food seemed so simple, but it tasted so delicious.

Maybe because he was so hungry, that any food tasted so delicious, he thought. Ms. Ida shook her head to see how greedy Tessa was eating.

Over time the scene made Ida upset, why it was like she was looking at a pregnant woman who was so hungry. The middle-aged woman was getting more agitated. Especially after Tessa finished her meal, the girl said goodbye to take a walk around the village.

“Say he wants to surround the village. But why did he walk into the forest?” mumbling Bu Ida while observing Tessa from the kitchen window.

Not wanting to be so bad, the middle-aged woman immediately stopped her activities in the kitchen. Slowly he walked in Tessa's footsteps.

While Tessa who felt followed occasionally looked back, making Ida Bu forced to hide and then sneak to follow where the girl stepped.

...……………...

Tessa felt she had gone far enough. His legs began to feel sore, but as long as he walked there was not a single house he met. In addition to one house that looks very quiet from the outside.

The sound of the creaking of the wooden door rang out, Tessa swallowed her saliva as she began to feel nervous.

After the door opened, a woman who was appraised by Tessa in her early 40s asked her. “Who are you looking for?”

“A-I'm looking for Mbok Atun,” Tessa answered staggered.

“What are you looking for me for? And ... Do you know where I live?”

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully Mbok Atun is not as scary as he is in his shadow.

“From a friend who Mbok helped first,” replied Tessa.

“I estimate about 2 months,” replied Tessa.

“You know about the cost?”

Tessa nodded. “I have no problem with it.”

“Come back here at 9, tonight. I don't want to take the risk of doing it when it's still bright,” Mbok Atun said before closing the door to his house violently.

Tessa until jolted at the sound of the door being closed by Mbok Atun. The woman turned around and walked back to Mother Ida's house.

Every step of his foot felt heavy. The war within him never stopped. Tessa is made to worry and continues to be haunted by guilt. Her tears continued to fall all the way back to Ms. Ida's house.

“What kind of woman am I?” his murmur was soft on the sidelines of his sobs.

Along the way her hand continued to be on her stomach until Tessa returned to her room at the house of Ida Bu. He has to prepare, especially mentally prepare for what he will do tonight, he thought.

While no one knows, a pair of Netra Bu Ida never let go to observe the movements of Tessa. Bu Ida had originally intended to report what he saw to the Village Chief. But when he saw the tears, his back shook, as well as Tessa's careless steps, immediately his heart became pity.

“But I should how to prevent it?” Ms. Ida started to panic.

“What if I fail to stop the boy?” Ms. Ida was pacing around in her kitchen.

He is also confused with himself. Rumors about the heinous deeds of Mbok Atun, actually already suspected by many residents. It's just that there's no hard evidence to report Mbok Atun's crimes.

Usually, Miss Ida will act stupid. He does not want to bother with things that are not his business. But why in Tessa, the woman she met just a few hours ago, she felt so concerned.

Time passed, and the time of Isha prayer passed. Like an iron, Ms. Ida went back and forth from her room to the front of Tessa's room and vice versa. His hand was outstretched to knock on Tessa's door, but he paused and chose to return to his room.

It didn't feel like 9 p.m. This is the time Tessa and Mbok Atun made a deal. Ms. Ida has made up her mind to stop Tessa, “Whatever the risk I will accept.”

I would feel guilty for a lifetime if I didn't prevent Neng Tessa from doing that heinous deed, said Ms. Ida.

The woman rushed out of her room to Tessa's room. Unfortunately he was late, there was no one in the room.

Mother Ida ran out of Tessa's room. Rushing he looked for the flashlight he kept in his room drawer.

In front of the door, Ms. Ida passed by the other room tenants. The four of them had just returned from the Village Hall.

“Bu Ida, where are you going?” reprimand one of the four medical personnel.

“A-I want to-“ Bu Ida hang her words. In his eyes the man he called Mas Doctor.

“Mas Doctor, come with Mom!” Without any explanation, Madam Ida pulled the man's hand.

Realizing that their steps were towards the forest, the man began to suspect. “Bu Ida, where are we going?” Ask the man called Mas Doctor by Bu Ida.

“We have to save Neng Tessa's life!” answer Miss Ida.

“Inwa Tessa?” ask him again.

Unfortunately, Ida did not answer. The woman accelerated her steps.

“There, Tessa is there!” Show Mom Ida in a house.

“For what Tessa to there?” ask the man.

“For what else?! Surely he wants to abort his contents!”

“Bu Ida, don't just accuse! Tessa couldn't be -“

Madam Ida patted the man's arm, “How dare I accuse! I am sure of my words. I heard the joints-“ has not finished said Ida Bu, the interlocutor was already running towards Mbok Atun's house.

Brake!!!!

The door of Mbok Atun's house made of wood was broken down, there was no one in the living room.

A second later, Mbok Atun emerged from inside a room. “Hei! Whoareyou?! Why did you break into my house without permission?!” Between nervousness and anger, Mbok Atun said.

“Where is Tessa?!” reply to the man by shouting.

“Tessa si-who? The man you're looking for isn't here.”

Not wanting to waste time arguing with Mbok Atun, the man forced his way into the room. “Awas. Move!” Roughly he pushed Mbok Atun's stocky body so as not to block his steps.

Just as suddenly, the pair of male neutrals were wide-eyed at what scene was before him at this moment. Tessa was already lying on the bed and only used a scabbard to wrap her body.

“TESSA!” His shouting.

“O-Owen?!” reply Tessa squealed.
