Marrying My Beloved's Killer
Chapter 72. Owen's Decision

Tessa is seen fixing the sheath wrapped around her body. He got up from his lying position.

With tears, the woman sat on the edge of the bed. His head continued to bow, where he dared to look at the handsome face of the man he admired before him.

“Come!” Owen threw the jacket he was wearing into Tessa's lap. “We must leave this place immediately!”

Tessa finally lifted her head, her gaze straight at Owen. His gaze implies that he is now overwhelmed with feelings of shame, anger, regret, and despair.

Tessa shakes. “Lu is gone! I'm not going anywhere.” Tessa has no intention of backing down. There was no hope for him, he thought.

“Lu is crazy?!” snapped Owen. His tired face he rubbed rough.

“Tessa .. this is not the time to be childish!” coined.

“What do you care about, huh?! You don't know anything that's happened to me!” reply Tessa with a shout that does not want to lose from Owen's clash.

“Gue doesn't care about you. I don't care at all,” said Owen.

“What I care about is your crazy actions that will sacrifice the lives of innocent fetuses that you bear!”

With both hands Tessa covered her face. While he was getting sobbed behind it. His shoulders were shaking and his legs were losing their strength. It was hard to get up, even though her little heart was eager to run up to the man before her.

“Gue is crazy! Everything that happens in my life is crazy. Satisfied?!” Tessa's ego forces her to say things her heart doesn't really want.

“Do not interfere in my life choices,” said Tessa.

His voice began to weaken, because deep down he was struggling. Ask for help to be rescued from that place.

“As long as you don't have a better solution than this, mending you just go. Let's just say tonight never existed. You don't know what happened tonight, because we never met.”

“Aaarrgghh!” Owen could no longer bear to not growl. Tessa is the most selfish and stubborn woman she has ever met.

Both hands were cluttered at his waist. Owen adjusted his breath as he stared at Tessa. “Solution?” tanyakanya.

“You want just a solution, right?” ask Owen again.

The man's facial expression implied doubt. I don't know what he thought. Tessa could only look at him with a question mark.

“As a doctor, I respect life. As small as that. So don't you think .. gu-gue did this because of you,” Owen said.

Without saying anything else, Owen approached Tessa. His jacket was on the floor he took. All of Owen's movements were carefully observed by Tessa.

The pregnant mother was made to jump when Owen gently put on a jacket for her. “Come! All you have to do now is keep the fetus in the womb lu.”

“Hah?!” Tessa shook with a frowning forehead. She thought getting pregnant and conceiving was easy, Tessa grumbled in her heart.

“Lu still don't understand? Ck!” The man was also confused as to how to express his meaning.

“Do not fallin your content. Your job is just to keep him as long as he is in your womb,” Owen was silent for a moment. The man seemed to take a deep breath and then exhale it violently.

“Give the baby. After that, the baby will be my business. After birth, he will be my responsibility.”

Just as the two Netra Tessa turned their backs to hear what Owen had just said. Tessa laughs, “Not me crazy, but you!”

Tessa felt increasingly upset at Owen. The man had messed up everything he had planned. Everything becomes useless.

Tessa wiped the remains of tears on her cheeks. Then he stood up, closing the zipper of Owen's jacket that had been attached to his body.

“If only pregnancy and childbirth were that easy, I would never have thought of doing this crazy thing!” tessa said without looking at Owen.

Tessa put her pants back on. He didn't care about Owen's glare at him. Tonight was one of the worst nights of Tessa's life.

Already bear the shame, then the man in front of him continued to add to his frustration. Makes his mood worse.

“Containing is not just about letting this fetus stay in my stomach. You don't think how I'll be looked at one eye by someone else?!”

“And after this baby was born ... just because you are a doctor, so you think caring for a baby is easy?”

“Gue needs a solution, not nonsense!” Firmly Tessa before she started to step her feet about to get out of the room.

While Owen remained unmoved in his place. The two neutrals seemed to close for a moment. He needs to convince himself of the decision he will make at this time.

“Gue will be responsible!” he said stop Tessa's steps.

Change the flustered Tessa. Suddenly, his feet were hard to step on. So did Owen, from where he was standing at the moment he could only see Tessa's back. So close to him, it should be very easy for him to approach but why does it feel so difficult for him to reach.

“Lu hear? I'll tang-GUNG JA-WAB!” Owen said again, the man even emphasized the word responsibility hoping that Tessa would not budge again.

But Tessa is still the same. The woman was still standing, still frozen in place. His heart was racing, but why was it so hard to breathe, he thought.

What's wrong with the word responsibility? That crazy guy said it! So what's wrong? Responsibility to whom? It can't be me, right? questions in Tessa's heart.

Owen's soft speech drew Tessa back to her consciousness. He shook his head, “But I don't understand. You know how stupid I am, ” replied Tessa.

Owen took a deep breath, filling his entire chest cavity with oxygen. He was sure after this one sentence he would feel tight and difficult to breathe.

“Huuuufftt ...” The nervous man exhaled a long breath.

“Gue to be responsible. Not only on your baby ... I will also be responsible for your pregnancy!” obviously Owen. What a grateful man he did not stutter when he revealed it.

“How? You understand you already understand, right?” Owen, while Tessa answered him with her head.

“OK .. okay ...” Owen raised both of his hands into the air as he surrendered.

“Come we're married!” Owen.

“Me-ni-kah?” finally, Tessa's voice was heard.

“Yes. You and I are married. We will be a couple,” replied Owen.

“Kita ... husband wife?” tessa asks as if she's not sure if this is real.

“Yes. You need a solution, right?” ask Owen.

“This is the solution I offer. We're getting out of here. Back in town, getting married, being a married couple. You'll be carrying our baby, you and I will take care of him as long as he's in your womb. Until our baby is born and gazes at this world,” continued Owen.

Tessa is back. “How is the solution from me?” Owen asked Tessa's willingness.

“Ta-but ...”

“Nothing but. Let's go home!” bring Owen.

“Then we got married,”.

Owen grabbed Tessa's hand for her to hold as the woman shed tears while nodding. If this is a dream, please don't wake me up. Pinta Tessa in her heart.

Owen smiled. With fingers clasped together, he led Tessa's steps away from the cursed place.

Mother Ida followed the second step of people who were turbulent with themselves, in their respective minds. The middle-aged woman was grateful, Tessa did not have time to do that crazy thing. His smile expands when he remembers if all the good things tonight happened because of him.

“Owen,” call Tessa.

Although both of his legs continued to step, the man turned to Tessa. “Hemm?”

“Lu is not kidding, right?” tanyakanya.

“Lu will really marry me, right?”

Owen chuckles. Funny he thought, should he come back to propose to this girl? Asking Tessa to be his wife, in the woods? Is that a good idea? Think Owen.

“Yups. We are getting married,” Owen replied briefly. “But ... later,” Added.

“Later? When's? My pregnancy will continue to grow.” Tessa reveals her concerns.

“Gue understands,” Owen replied.

“Of course we will get married, but not now,”.

“There's no way we'll get married here, right?” asked Owen who immediately got a nod response by Tessa.

“Another week. Wait here with me. After this activity is completed, we return to the city and I will directly propose you on both of your parents.”

Tessa smiles. Finally tonight he can breathe a sigh of relief. The two continued their journey to get out of the forest. Mother Ida's house was already in sight, only a few meters away and both had arrived.

Owen led Tessa to the door of the woman's room. “Sleep and rest!”

Tessa nodded. “Owen, thanks.”

A smile appeared on Owen's handsome face before he nodded.

“Thank you for marrying me,” Tessa said. A smile was still etched clearly on Owen's face. He felt he had decided the most appropriate thing.

“If we are married, how about ... love?” tessa hesitates.

Hearing that one word, the smile on Owen's face suddenly disappeared.

“Love?” mummy Owen lirih.
