Victimizing Yourself for Love
Part *47

"Mas Tora, we're asking you to come over because you want to say that we're going to speed up the trial for the suspect."

"In a hurry, police sir?"

"Yes. Since all the evidence is complete, plus any other crimes the suspect committed, we'll speed up the trial for the suspect."

"All right then, sir. May the woman be put to death. Or at the very least, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in order to introspect himself."

"All punishments will be given to the suspect, depending on the results of the trial later, mas Tora. But, we made sure that he would be punished according to the crimes he committed. Tora, take it easy."

"Thank you very much, sir. Hopefully the results don't disappoint our side."

"will not. Just relax."

Tora left the police station after her conversation with the police was over. With a heart that was quite relieved, Tora drove the car to the house.

It didn't take long for Tora to drive at moderate speed to get home. After the car he parked, he immediately walked inside.

As she walked in to head upstairs, she passed by Tami's room. Just then, Tami opened the door to her room.

Tora stopped her footsteps from seeing Tami. While Tami, she also did not move from where she was before. They stared at each other for a while. But in the end, Tami chooses to ignore Tora by passing by without saying a word to Tora.

Eight months have passed. Tami's pregnancy has entered the age of nine months and will soon give birth to the child she conceived.

The relationship between the two is as usual. There is no change at all. It still remains as before without any progress. Both of them still maintain a high ego in their hearts. Also, not open to each other. Clearly, their relationship is the same. Still rely on the ego as well as the mind itself.

This morning, Tami was at home with Tora because Siah went shopping to the market. Although still elevating the ego in the heart, but Tora always gives full attention to Tami as well as her child candidates. She won't leave Tami alone at home. Especially with Tami's current condition. Tora is always on the lookout for everything.

Tora was in the living room when she heard a moaning coming from Tami's room. Quickly, he ran towards the wife's room to check things out.

"Tami. Are you all right?" tora asked as she tried to open the door.

No answer at all. All he heard was a groan growing stronger.

Afraid of something bad happening to his wife, or maybe this is the time the wife will give birth, Tora immediately tried to open the door by breaking the door. Efforts will not betray the outcome. That's what people have been saying all along. And now, Tora finally managed to open the door of Tami's room.

As the door opened, he grew even more panicked at what he was looking at. Tami was whimpering on the floor while holding her stomach.

"Tami." Tora spoke while seizing the tiny body with that distended stomach.

"Torra. Sick .. it hurts so much."

"Let's go to the hospital right now, Tami! You must be strong. Be patient."

It took time for Tora to get Tami to the hospital. Starting from the panic of Tami who continues to moan when he drives his car, to the road that suddenly jammed because there was a small accident in front of them.

Fortunately, all that worked Tora through. And finally, they arrived in front of the hospital they wanted to head to before.

Tora immediately brought Tami down by carrying her. Then, when she went inside, there were some sisters who helped Tora to bring Tami to the delivery room.

An hour has passed. But Tami still hasn't given birth to their child. A groaning sound was still clearly heard from the room by Tora who was waiting at the door.

Bi Siah and both of Tora's parents were already there as well. They all put on anxious and fearful faces.

"Ma, is during this labor process in general?" tora suddenly asked her mother.

The question distracts all who are nearby. Tora suddenly became the center of attention by parents and Siah who was in front of the room.

"It's not long, Tora. You don't know how long you've only been born to me, do you? I almost spent two days and two nights giving birth to you into this world."

"Mama what the hell? I'm talking about my mom giving birth to Tora at a time like this."

"Eh, I'm not talking about it, Pa. Just talking about it."

"Yes speaking. But not the right talk in time. Tora's worried, so are we. So, don't talk about problems that make the heart and feeling depressed, mama."

Mama Tora was silent. He only realized what he said just now was adding to the anxious face as well as the fear and unease in his son's heart. For that, he immediately tried to clear the atmosphere back.

"Not everyone is like that either. There is something easy in the process of delivery. It doesn't take much time, they can give birth safely."

Tora did not have time to answer what her mother said, the door of the delivery room was open. From the door appeared a female doctor who was handling the delivery of Tami.

"Doctor, how's Tami doing? Is she okay? Our son was born, right?" Tora immediately showered the doctor with many questions.

Not immediately answering, the doctor even showed his anxious face. Tora also still heard a groaning sound in the room. The moans that indicate that Tami still has not finished her struggle to give birth to the child she was carrying.

"Doctor .... "

"This is her husband, isn't it?"

"Yes, Doc. I'm her husband."

"Your wife's condition is not very good right now. We had to choose between the two to save them. Who do you want us to save? His mother, or his son."

Tora's shocked not dumbass. The question was like a huge rock that suddenly fell on his body.

With a wound, he looked at the doctor.

"Save your mother." Tora spoke without hesitation despite sounding so sad.

Bi Siah who heard those words, immediately looked at Tora with a look of disbelief.

"Den Tora, are den Tora sure of den Tora's choice just now?"

"I'm sure, bik. Very sure."

"But Den, didn't den Tora really want the baby to be born into the world?"
