I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 15 Remembrance of the Past

Two days later.

Rania is still carrying out her routine as usual, she still sells and is increasingly diligent. His brother's words the other day were like a whip for him so that he was more eager to collect money. This divorce process will certainly take place, he needs a lot of money so that the custody of his children is won.

Alif is still coming back to contract for the last 2 days, although clearly Rania has kicked him out. The woman did not bully him and tried to be calm in order to take advantage of the time to reap the greatest benefits. Alif tried to apologize many times, but he chose to avoid.

Marriage is not about two people, but 2 families that must be united. If his mother-in-law hated him, however hard she tried to keep this love intact, she would also lose the blood relationship. As bad as her mother Rania is sure Alif would not prefer her over her own mother. Although at this time it does look pro man against him, but it is very likely that one day it will be affected again. Rania no longer wants to bet on her happiness and her small family, let her choose to step down rather than always get hurt.

Tok...

Hearing the door knock, Rania who was checking her merchandise rushed to open the door.

Plakkkp...

A slap shot across her cheek, the greatly shocked Rania was still silent at a loss as to what had actually happened. It turned out that her mother-in-law had come and slapped her.

"Mom, we're here to talk about our son's marriage, why did you slap Rania instead?"

It turned out that her mother-in-law was not alone, this time her father-in-law also came along. The man tried to remind his wife of the purpose for which they had come.

"A son-in-law like him doesn't need to be defended, sir. He's already made Alif dare to yell at me," he snorted.

"What was my fault, Mom? Why do you always blame me for anything? I also have feelings and have not expected this marriage, now I'm satisfied right?"

Her mother-in-law pushed her hard enough to make her fall to the floor. Rania who was unprepared fell.

"Mother don't be so rude, Rania is our daughter-in-law" said her father-in-law.

"I really don't like this woman, she has taken my son Alif. I hate him,"

Apparently not satisfied pushing and slapping Rania, this woman even now grabbed her daughter-in-law's hair.

"Akh.sick Mom, let go,"

Rania tries to get her hair out of her mother-in-law's grip, but can't. Her father-in-law even helped her but encouraged her mother-in-law to look at the walls of the house.

"Feel this, you fucking son-in-law. I never liked you, you were poor how dare you want to take my son,"

"What are you doing, let go of my wife!"

Alif was already at the door and witnessed the incident with his own eyes. He really did not expect his mother would act this cruel to Rania, all this time he had never attacked him physically. All he knows is only words and all this time he considers it still natural.

The woman gasped at the arrival of her son, she immediately released her grip. Alif looked pushyly at his mother, his eyes reddened with anger. While Rania is still grimacing while justifying her disheveled hair.

"I've heard it all, why did Mom marry us if she didn't like my choice? Rania never took me from Mom, I always defended my mother even though I knew what she was doing was not right. Even though he was poor but never asked for Mom's treasure, he always helped me make money without complaining,"

This time Alif said while crying, this is actually what Rania had expected from her husband in the past. It does not matter if he has to fight together in providing for the needs of the family, he just wants to be appreciated and understood. She wants her husband to act as a husband who always protects her from anything including from the cruelty of her mother.

"I'm sorry, son, I've advised your mother. But he wouldn't listen and instead pushed me,"

His father felt guilty for agreeing to his wife's idea to come to his daughter-in-law's house. That he did because his wife said he would find a way out so that his son's marriage did not run aground, but it turned out that his wife even made the atmosphere worse.

"You must not speak harshly to me, I am the one who gave birth to you. I took care of you from childhood, your affection should not be greater for him who only a few years you know," said his mother.

"Mother's attitude has been so outrageous, it's what disappointed me, it has nothing to do with Rania. She's my wife, she's even fought 2x to give birth to my offspring. All this time I regret not caring about his feelings and prefer to defend Mom. I'm really disappointed, Mom,"

"Son, talk about your problems. Don't mind your mother's words, I'll take her home,"

His father forced his mother home, but the woman refused to even scream like a fidelity. This made Alif even more angry and loudly expelled the woman.

"Mom get the hell out of here, I don't want to see Mom right now!" shouted Alif.

Honest from the deepest heart Rania is happy that Alif can be firm, but unfortunately his heart has been steady to separate. She actually did not want her husband to be rude to her mother, but her mother was very outrageous. His shout even invited the neighbors to arrive, fortunately Alif could convince them to immediately disperse.

"Rania I'm sorry, I'm sorry my mom too. I realize my mistakes are too much for you. I'm afraid of losing you, I still want us to be together. I promise I'll fix everything, for the sake of our children..."

Alif roared at Rania's feet, and the woman could not hold back her tears. Why did her husband dare to behave after so long, even his slap the other day still left a tiara tara pain in her heart.

Rania was really in a dilemma, she was at a loss as to what to decide. Remembering both of his children without the presence of a father figure in their lives made him doubtful. He should not decide in times of emotion so that there is no regret later in life. Even though there was no love in his heart for Alif, but the development of his son became his consideration at this time.

"Nia, please remember our good times first. Many sweet memories we knit together, I remember how much I loved you back then. Getting yourself to need a hard fight, I am not willing if I have to run aground. I still love you so much, the same love we met in the first place,"

Alif clasped his wife's hand gently, the girl's eyes glaring to the past. The times where there was only very sweet love from Alif. An unforgettable time.
