Victimizing Yourself for Love
Part *49

They follow behind the doctor to take Tami to the treatment room.

Tami can be looked at now. He is still weak, but better than before.

Tora looked at Tami with a loving gaze while continuing to gently hold the wife's hand. While their baby, being a snatch mama and papa Tora. The two parents looked very happy to see their very beautiful granddaughter born safely without any defects.

"Ma, come. Give him to me! You've been holding her for a long time. I haven't touched him at all" Tora told his wife.

"will not. I'm not gonna give it to you. Because I just held her for a while. Anyway, it's really nice that you said you haven't touched it at all. Though, you've touched my grandson's cheek many times, Pa."

"Hey, he's not just your grandson, Ma. But he's also my grandson. Look, she looked a little like Tora when she was a kid, yeah."

"Of course it's similar. Tora is the papa. If it doesn't look like him, then who does my grandson look like, huh?"

"Of course it could look a little like me. I'm also handsome."

"Huh? A handsome? Oh my God ... handsome where are you from, Pa? There's no good-looking. It's old and wrinkled, where there's handsome."

"Hey, I used to be handsome when I was young, you know? If not, how can I lure you into being my wife?"

"At that time my eyes were a little not working properly. That's why I can choose you. Anyway, I didn't mention you were young. Feelings, I'm talking about you who's old, wrinkled now."

"You are yes."

"Don't say much, give him to me, Ma. I want to carry it too."

"I'll give it to you later. Not now because he's still comfortable in my arms."

"Oh my God .. mama."

While the two old men were arguing, Tora with Tami could only hear with a small smile. Their first child became a scramble, so-so, Tora as papa just can not carry his child.

However, it did not make Tora feel sad. He was even very happy with the discussion. Because the debate made her feel like she had a whole family now. Moreover, beside him was the wife who still needed more attention because she had just finished giving birth at the risk of life. So he did not think too much about him who could not embrace his baby.

"Tami, thank you so much. Sorry, other than a word of thanks, I don't know what else to say to you as an expression of the happiness I'm feeling right now. You have given me the most incredible happiness in my life right now. But unfortunately, I don't have anything I can trade for the happiness you gave me. I'm sorry, Tami. And, thank you again."

"What are you saying, Tora. No need to thank me. The happiness I give you, it's not just for you, but for me as well, or rather, to be together."

Tora was speechless with a mind that kept trying to digest what Tami had said just now. His eyes looked at the bead of Tami's eyes that looked very beautifully radiant.

"Tami, may I ask you one more thing now?"

"I'm asking you to stay my wife for a long time. Tami, I love you. Please don't leave me at any time."

Tora spoke quickly without giving the slightest pause. He said those words with just one breath. That's what he did so Tami wouldn't cut what he was going to say.

Instantly, the nursery became silent. Tami who heard that remark was unable to answer Tora's words. While the two parents Tora, also fell silent while looking at Tora with a look of disbelief as well as a strange look.

"Tora, what did you just say?" Tami asked in a soft tone.

It was not that not listening to what Tora had said just now, it was just that, he wanted to make sure that what he heard was purely an expression of feelings from the deepest heart or just a speech on the lips.

Tora lowered her face. He clasped Tami's hand tightly with a feeling of fear of loss.

"Tami, I'm too greedy for asking you too much. But, I really don't want to lose you. Now I realize that I really love you. I've been feeling this while we were together. I don't want to be a real naive man. But unfortunately, I can't hold this love anymore. I love you, Tami. Loves you so much. Sorry, if I look too exaggerated or look very stiff in expressing feelings. But that's me. Can't be romantic or sweeter."

Tami smiled. The tears that had been reminiscing, finally spilled as well. He could not resist the sense of necessity that was now approaching the heart. Because to be honest, she also felt the same way that Tora had revealed just now. Very loving, but instead choose to hold a feeling for yourself.

Pluks. Tami's tears fell on Tora's hand that was holding her hand. Seeing that water, Tora immediately raised her face.

"Tami! Why are you crying? Is it because of the words I said?" Tora spoke while waking up. With a panicked face, she wiped away Tami's falling tears.

"Please don't cry, Tami. I won't let you be sad anymore. I will not force you to accept my love. Because I won't make you sick anymore."

"No. I'm not crying because I'm sick or don't want to accept your love, Tora. But ...."

"Tora, tell me! Are you asking me to stay by your side forever."

Tora did not answer. He looked into Tami's eyes with a hopeful look. Shaking his head, he answered.

"Yes. I want you to stay by my side forever. If only I were the old Tora, I might force you to listen to what I say. I won't let you walk away from me one step. But .... "

Tora now lowered her face again with a sad look. "I'm not the Tora that Tami used to be. Can't force you to follow what I want. I want you to stay by my side forever, but unfortunately, you .... "

"I what?"

"You may not be ready."

"Who said I wasn't ready?"

The question made Tora immediately look at Tami with a look of hope. A beautiful light also now reappeared on Tora's black eye bead.

"Tami ... just now .. You want to say you agreed to stay with me?" Tora spoke in a hopeful voice.
