I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 17 Events in the Swimming Pool

"What do you mean, Mom? Don't embarrass me here" said Rania.

Rania immediately stepped away from the minimarket after saying goodbye to the man who was none other than the head of the store in the minimarket. Alif's habit of always coming to his own conclusions makes him upset instead of playing, how strongly he accused the divorce he asked in connection with the man earlier.

"Nia, wait! You have to explain everything,"

Alif tries to chase after Rania, but his wife has left because of embarrassment. Her husband's words were loud enough to make several pairs of employees and visitors look at them.

Alif immediately went into the store again to talk to the man earlier, even he forgot his son who was confused to see all this.

"Who are you? What's the connection to my wife?" ask her arrogantly.

"Sorry, I have nothing to do with Rania's mother. It's just that he is our loyal customer, he often shop here in large quantities" the man replied.

"Correct? Why is he only talking to you, aren't there many other employees?" alif asked still with a cynical attitude.

"Sorry sir, usually Miss Rania does interact with all the employees on duty. I'm the head of the store here, just happened to be on duty, so a little chat because Rania ma'am was planning to pick up more stuff. But because the father came, Rania's mother just left here,"

Alif looked at the man, it seemed like he was indeed the head of the shop because he was the oldest among the other employees. He immediately went to bring his son because he was embarrassed to accuse the man and his wife. Alif was very sorry, why he always could not control his emotions and quickly accused. It can be made sure Rania will be more difficult to forgive him.

He chases after Rania and apologizes, but the man doesn't know where to find his wife. Finally, he decided to take his son swimming. Throughout the journey his heart was shrouded in anxiety.

"Dad. look out,"

Alif flinched from his daydream, almost hitting the roadblock if Alisa did not remind him.

"Astagfirullah, are you okay?" tanyakanya.

"It's okay, but Dad why did you want to hit him anyway?"

"Sorry son, I promise you I'll be more alert,"

Alif immediately continued his journey, just a few minutes they had arrived at their destination. The same swimming pool that Rania visited with her two children at that time. They immediately changed into swimsuits, Alif accompanied his two children. For a moment he forgot about his problem with Rania.

While elsewhere.

Rania is very upset about being publicly humiliated by her husband. She was going to shop quite a lot at the minimarket, but was forced to switch to another minimarket because of her husband. Actually, he likes to shop in the store earlier, besides being able to buy all employees and even the head of the store is very good and friendly.

Rania immediately took the goods he wanted to buy, he was forced to take in several stores because not all stores allow buying in large quantities. He was forced to do so because after this the goods will be delivered soon.

"Thank you Ma'am, this is for mbak,"

Rania gave a bottle of drink to the cashier in gratitude for allowing him to take a lot of things.

"No need Mom, this is just take it. I'm really helping,"

"You take it, it's okay. I'm also sincere,"

Rania immediately continued to deliver the goods to the customer, all the work he could finally finish. At 11:00 he returned home.

"Alhamdulillah, today can profit 300 thousand. Thank you God for the fortune You have given, may I be tired of your pleasure. Amen,"

Rania is so grateful that today's profits are quite a lot, even her reseller had bought her meatballs so she did not need to spend money to buy food. Just falling down her cell phone rang incessantly, her husband's name on her contact. He was lazy to lift, but considering he was with his two children then he raised.

"What's up?" ask Rania flat.

"Him fast you're here, Star of the Sink,"

"What's? How could it be?"

"Once, I'll tell you later. You come here quickly,"

"Yes, I'm there now. Still in the pool or the hospital?"

"In the pool,"

Without asking much more he immediately put his bike forward faster than usual, his mind was completely in a frenzy. She thought about the condition of the little star, how could the child drown when there was a husband who took care of her. He was really annoyed at Alif who could not take good care of his son.

A few minutes later he arrived, he immediately bought a ticket to enter. He even forgot to ask where they were because they were too worried. He immediately spread his eyes all over the place. The atmosphere was quite crowded enough to complicate his search. Impatiently, he decided to contact Alif.

"Where are you?" ask him without a stale base.

"We are in the dressing room, we are changing clothes" Alif replied.

"Say the stars are drowning, why are you so busy changing clothes?"

Rania felt that there was a discrepancy, if her son drowned why they changed clothes. But his worry was able to eliminate his sense of curiosity. Rania immediately went to the place where she changed clothes. A few minutes later he saw that Alif and his two children had changed clothes.

"Mas, did you say the stars were drowning? Why does she look okay?" ask Rania growled.

"I didn't lie to Nia, she was drowning but I managed to help her in time,"

Rania feels lied to, usually Alif is more calm even when their child is sick. But this incident is very strange, if Bintang is fine then what does it mean to call him and make him very worried about the state of his son.

"What do you mean, Mom? If Bintang is okay, why are you calling and freaking me out?" rania asked annoyed.

"He was drowning, of course I was worried. So it's not wrong if I contact you, instead you are always worried about their situation" replied Alif.

"But you can tell it at home, there's no need to worry me. I see the stars are fine, too,"

"Do you not care about your child? Is it because there's already another man who's been able to fill your heart?"

Oh, it turns out this is what her husband thought so he made a drama that he didn't think was funny. Her husband had a small mind. Rania immediately went to bring her two children without caring for Alif who continued to talk until it became a spectacle of people, her husband did not have shame.
