I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 113 Accident Brings Blessings

"Laila, are we going to my parents' house today? Even though mom's been mean to you, she's still my mom,"

Alif said softly while looking fixed at his wife's two beads.

Actually Laila had also forgiven what her mother-in-law had done. Just that meeting him would open an old wound that had not even dried up in his heart.

"Yes, Mommy" he answered briefly.

Alif knows his wife's heartache has not been fully healed, especially until now they have not been believed to get offspring again. Alif understands. But he wants their relationship to improve soon, because after all their lives will continue side by side like this. Wouldn't it be beautiful if the relationship of our partner and parents can be in line. Life will feel peaceful and harmonious. That's what Alif wants.

"I know you must still remember the incident, because I did too. We consider it all a trial in our marriage. Let's make peace with the situation,"

Laila looked straight at her husband, seconds later she smiled.

"Yes, I don't want to live with revenge. What time are you at mom and dad's?"

Alif was very happy, he felt lucky to get a wife who was patient and understanding like Laila.

"Now we're ready, Akila also don't forget you take ya,"

They also immediately prepared. Laila brought some of the dishes she made. It just so happened that today he cooked quite a lot. He also brought his cake. Towards the holy month of Ramadan he also started a pastry business. Many orders have come in. The fasting month later he had a holiday supplying food in the factory canteen so he could focus on making pastry orders.

"What is Laila, how much is it?" ask Alif.

"Food and cake only for mom and dad, Mas" replied Laila.

"You are a good wife,"

Alif kissed his wife's forehead making her blush shyly.

The three of them went to their parents' house.

"How's Michelle doing right now, Doc? When does he get out of here?" ask Anto.

"His development has been very good, he has made significant progress. Later in the afternoon we will do the last test, if the results are good tomorrow he can already leave this hospital," replied Dr. Hendro.

"Thank God, I hope the results are good. I'll see him first,"

"Please,"

Anto got up and stepped towards Michelle's room.

"Mas, what are you carrying?"

Michelle immediately ran over to her lover.

"This is your favorite cake,"

"That's right, hmm. Nyam, nyam,"

Michelle immediately opened and devoured her favorite brownie.

"Pelan-pelan dong. No one will ask," ledek Anto.

Michelle did not care and continued to chew on the cake, making Anto only smile and shake his head at it.

"Sir, thank you, Mama,"

"Oh yes, the doctor Hendro said if it will be tested. If the results are good tomorrow you can leave this place" said Anto.

"Yes, he said that too. I was afraid of Mas, afraid that the result would not be as expected," his face turned sad.

"Relax, you have to be confident. I'm sure you can, I believe that you're fully healed,"

"Thank you, Mom, I'm lucky to have you,"

The two hugged for a while.

"Assynolt,"

The three of them simultaneously said their greetings when they arrived at Alif's parents' house.

"Waalaikum greetings, uh you guys come in," Mr. Agus greeted them happily.

"I don't think you guys remember coming here anymore" said Bu Nani.

"Sorry Mom, we've been busy lately. Moreover, Laila has been selling now, so there is rarely free time," said Alif.

"This is Mom, for Mom and Dad,"

Laila gave him what he brought.

"It's a lot of Laila, thank you," Mr. Agus immediately took and opened the gift of his son-in-law.

"Well, that's my food and cake. Thank God if it fits on your tongue" replied Laila.

"It turns out you're good at cooking and baking, Alif is very lucky" said his father-in-law.

Bu Nani also tasted because of curiosity. Of course it tastes good. It's just that he couldn't possibly make his son-in-law so big-headed that he behaved normally.

"It's normal" he said.

"It looks like your tongue is having problems, food is as good as this you say ordinary," led by her husband.

"Oh yes Lif, please call a handyman. The lights above are like they're falling,"

Bu Nani pointed at the crystal lamp above the living room that looked slightly tilted and swayed.

"That's a real danger, I called the exchange first,"

Alif was seen calling someone, but the look on his face looks unhappy.

"How, Lif?" ask Bu Nani.

"The new guy can come tomorrow Mom, now he's got a job. It's best not to be in the living room until the lights are fixed,"

Alif invites everyone to move to the family room. They look fun talking while enjoying a cake made by Laila.

"Can I help you, ma'am?"

Laila approached her mother-in-law who was busy in the kitchen.

"Yes, you've cooked, I'm tired of taking a break,"

Bu Nani left her activities and went up to her room. Laila continued the work that her mother-in-law left behind.

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

There are guests coming.

"Greetings waalaikum,"

Alif opened the door. It was a guest for his mother. He immediately called his mother in his room.

"Oh, don't know if anyone just got a break and there's a guest, anyway,"

Bu Nani went down while nagging. He met his guest who turned out to be his traveling companion.

"Laila, make tea for my guests yes" said Bu Yani.

"Good, Mom,"

Laila immediately made him a drink, and then served him.

A few moments later, the cooking was cooked. Because her mother-in-law's guest looks like she just came out ahead to pick up a dirty glass.

"Well, so dong, so the son-in-law must be diligent. It must be understood without being told," said Bu Nani.

Laila just smiled.

"Awas, Mum..."

Prorough...

"Akh.." a scream of pain made everyone run into the living room.

"Chelle..." Alif stunned.

"Let's take him to the hospital, Lif," his father took him.

They carried Laila's body into the car.

"I'm coming" said Ms. Nani.

They all took Laila to the hospital.

"Hold ya baby, we'll be there soon" said Alif.

"Thank you, Laila, you saved me,"

Bu Nani's eyes glazed over, she was moved by what her daughter-in-law had done. If only Laila had not saved him in time, the lamp would have already fallen on his body. Just imagining it made her cringe.

"Sama-sama Ma'am, it's my duty" Laila replied in between her groans.

"I'm sorry, it's been bad for you all this time,"

Bu Nani hugs her daughter-in-law, her tears shed along with Laila's agonizing groans. Laila was happy, her sacrifice was not in vain. He can smile in pain.
