I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 107 Visiting Laila

One month later.

"Why does it look so bad?"

Rania massaged her husband's back which looked very tired.

"I'm tired Honey, this case is very draining and my mind,"

Rangga increasingly straighten his body, his wife's massage makes it more comfortable.

"What's the case, Mom?" ask Rania curious.

"Murder of an official wife. Come on, honey, don't talk about work. Oh yeah how are Mr. Alif and his wife, haven't heard from them in a long time?" Rangga laid his body in the following of his wife.

"It is with great pity that Laila, her mother-in-law, had the heart to harm her and her baby, asking her to pay the hospital fees of that time and the events of their marriage. The total is 10 million rupiah," explained Rania.

"Why not report it, it's a criminal act. Especially if it has been planned," said Rangga.

Rania took a long breath. He knew if the woman would not be reported, where Alif might be like that. Alif is not a good husband and child. He let his mother continue to do evil with her indecision. He felt sorry for Laila, maybe he wouldn't last as long as he did if it continued like this.

"I don't want to interfere too much, Mom. I just feel sorry for Laila, her fate is worse than mine and she has to lose her baby. I wanted to help him not to trouble the money, but I'm afraid he's offended,"

Rania was silent for a moment.

"A month ago he came here, I asked him to sell skincare. He borrowed 3 million for venture capital. I wanted to give it to him, but he was strong enough to give it back later" he added.

"Tell me that for Akila, she's still our son's sister, even if it's just a half-sister,"

Rangga tried to give advice.

"True, too, great idea. I'm done with the puerperium, may I visit them tomorrow. It's Sunday" said Rania.

"By dong, tomorrow we go there,"

Rania hugged her husband tightly. Actually she was very long with the caress of her husband, but seeing Rangga seemed very tired she just continued to massage him.

"Laila, this is money for our needs. I'm sorry I took 500 grand to repay my mother,"

Alif gave 1.5 million to his wife. Laila accepted it without saying anything.

"Hopefully I can add more, so I can give it again" added Alif.

"Yes, Mas. Thank you, "he replied briefly.

Laila did not want to discuss the issue of living too much. No matter how much her husband gives, God willing she is sincere. Especially now that he can find his own money with the help of capital from Rania at that time.

Although the skincare business is not too marketable, but he did not lose his mind. He knew the factory where he worked first his workers were in desperate need of food. So he decided to leave packaged rice and all kinds of vegetables, side dishes and various fried foods in the factory canteen. Although tired, thank God the results are good.

Laila is not as smart as Rania in business, because the educational background of the two is also different. Both are hardworking and tenacious. I don't like to trouble others.

"If you're tired, it's best not to sell,"

Alif massaged his wife's back, before dawn the woman was awake to prepare her sale. Alif actually did not have the heart, but Laila insisted not to stand by.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Before we get married I'll work too" Laila smiled at her husband.

They sleep hugging each other. Akila had been sleeping in her room ever since.

Next day.

Alisa and Bintang were thrilled to hear they were going to visit their father. That means they will meet Akila. They were happy with her stepbrother, because Akila was a good boy. They always get along well when they meet.

"Mom, can I give some of my already not strong clothes to Akila no?" ask Akila.

"Is it still good, honey?" ask Rania.

"Still Ma'am. Mom, Papa, Oma and Opa also often buy me clothes so much in the closet that is not used,"

Alisa and Rania began to choose clothes that are still good, he also gave some expensive toys for his brother.

"Yes, Pa," replied Alisa.

Rangga was surprised to see there were two large bags in front of them.

"That's what, honey?" ask Rangga.

"That's the clothes and toys that Alisa wants to give to Akila, Mas," replied Rania.

"My daughter is very good, later we stop by to buy souvenirs for them huh. Let's go,"

Rangga carried the big bag. While Rania carries Naya on the follow-up of Bintang and Alisa.

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

Rangga and his family knocked on the door and greeted him.

"Waalaikum greetings, Ms. Rania and family. Didn't expect you guys to come here, let's go in,"

Laila was delighted with their arrival. Akila even immediately took his brother into his room.

"Mom, this is what I brought to Akila's room. I want to show it" said Alisa.

"Dear, that's the cake you gave to Akila, too,"

Alisa obeyed her mother's words. They were playing in Akila's room.

"Sir, why bother to wear all the things. I'm so glad that you're going to visit my humble home" said Laila.

"It's okay, Laila. Akila is my son's brother. So it's appropriate,"

Rania handed over the food and cake they brought. Do not forget some of the needs of the house and also fruits. Laila was deeply moved by their kindness.

"Mbk Rania, Mr. Rangga please drink,"

"Yes, thank you. That's what's in the kitchen? Are you selling?" ask Rania.

"God until I forget. That's me in the cafeteria where I used to work, Ma'am,"

Laila put all her sales into the basket.

"I just drove this first in a factory near here huh Ma'am. Is it okay to stay a while?"

Laila actually does not feel good there are guests even he stayed, but the food has been made so dear if not sold.

"It's okay, you ride the bike?"

Rania felt sorry, the woman must have had trouble carrying that much stuff using a motorbike. She remembered her struggle first, having to carry and lift boxes of goods and hot to help her husband make a living.

"It's normal, just calm down,"

Rangga helped him carry the items near his motorbike.

Just as Laila was leaving, there was an online taxi that stopped in front of her house. Rangga and Rania noticed who was coming.

"That's Mas Alif Mas's mother, why is she here?"

"Yes, this is our chance to make him tickle dear,"

Rania looked at her husband full of question marks.

"Make a deterrent how do you mean, Mas?"

Rangga smiled meaningfully.

"You'll see" replied Rangga.

'May it not be a sin to prank the parents, ' Inner Rangga chuckled to himself.
