I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 19 For the Sense of Humanity

"Hello, what else is it?"

With a sense of laziness Rania picked up the phone from her husband.

"Sorry Mom, is this really the wife of the owner of this phone?" ask a man across the street.

"Well, sir, is my husband's cell phone in the Father?" ask Rania wonder.

"Mother's husband was in an accident, now being treated at Mitra hospital. Can you come here now?" ask the man.

"What's? Well sir, I'm there now,"

Rania immediately took her son away, in fact she wanted to leave both at her brother's house but surely the Star would cry, so she was forced to take it.

The hospital was quite far from their home, it took 45 minutes to get there. He immediately headed for the room that the man had informed him about.

"Sir, how is my husband?" ask Rania.

"I do not know Maak, try asking the doctor directly yes. I just want to return her husband's belongings that I secure, because Ma'am already here I say go home first yes,"

The man gave all the goods of her husband, Rania was very grateful and gave a little money but was rejected by the man.

"Don't ma'am, I'm sincere about helping. Ma'am would need more money for her husband's care, I'm sorry first yes,"

"Thank you, sir, may Allah repay your kindness,"

After the man left, Rania immediately went to the doctor and took care of the administration. According to the doctor her husband's injuries were quite severe, it took about 3 days to get better. Rania sighed, for the sake of humanity she had to take care of her husband. He has to put his ego aside, however Alif is the father of his two children.

"Mom, why dad? Why is Dad in bandages, Mom?" asked Alisa innocently.

"Dad accident son, pray for a quick recovery yes," replied Rania.

"Yes ma'am, pity me. Why do you sleep so hard, Mom?" ask the girl again.

Rania brought the two closer to where her husband was lying, there was a sense of not having the heart to separate the son and his father. Should he give up again for the sake of his household? Ah no, she no longer had any love for that man.

"Dad's been taking medicine, so he's taking a break for a while. I forgot to bring supplies because of the rush, we find food first yuk," asked Rania.

They immediately go to the hospital cafeteria, Alisa eats herself while Bintang still treats Rania. Suddenly someone greeted him.

"You're Rania, not Alif's wife, daughter-in-law, Miss Nani?" ask the woman.

"Yes ma'am, right," replied Rania.

"Why do you still survive with a family like that, your mother-in-law always vilify yourself to anyone. Just look at the posts and status on wa and social media. He also likes to gossip about yourself to neighbors around,"

"What did he say, Mom?"

Rania responds to the woman's story, wanting to know how far her in-laws insult her.

"There's a lot of Nia. He said you were lucky to get his son so you can sell online, even though you were only born from a poor family. He said you've been playing games so Alif is more submissive to you than his mother. He also said he said you were the son-in-law of a slacker who likes to squander husband money without wanting to work,"

Astagfirullah, Rania did not think her mother-in-law could be that cruel to her. The feeling all this time she never disturbed her mother-in-law's life, not even though she kept her husband away from her mother. Every husband said goodbye to take his mother wherever she never forbade, although at the same time she really needed the help of her husband.

"Just leave it, ma'am, I don't want to respond to it. Maybe it's because it's old so say it like that,"

"Ah, I don't think so, my in-laws are good. It is the basis of Naninya alone that is so. Since long ago no one escaped his insults, so your sister-in-law was married many times, it's because her husband no one can bear to have a mother-in-law like Nani's mother,"

Oh, my God, he just found out about this. It is fitting that his sister-in-law got divorced many times, apparently because of the temperament of her mother-in-law who is not good. Means he is very strong to be able to survive married to Alif until 11 years. Rania just smiled in response to the woman's story, she did not want to interfere too much.

"Why are you here, anyway? Who is sick?" tanyakanya.

"Mas Alif was in an accident, someone brought him here" replied Rania.

"Oh my God, how's he doing? Does your mother-in-law know?"

"Not yet Ma'am, I've also just arrived. I was worried that I would not prepare food, so my children would bring food here. The doctor said it was quite severe, about 3 days likely to improve,"

"Oh yes already, let me tell you later, hopefully Alif will recover quickly. I'm first yeah,"

"Yes, thank you, ma'am,"

Rania continued to feed the Bintang, after her son felt full then he ate. Actually he was reluctant to tell his in-laws, for fear of making a fuss there. Moreover, Alif's condition is still not recovered, he is afraid that the presence of his in-laws will worsen Alif's condition.

"Mom, let's go back to Dad's room. Poor dad's alone, Mom," Alisa asked.

"Dear, this is done too. Let's go back,"

Rania opened the door slowly, the room actually contained two beds, but the other was empty so they were easier to get in and out of. It turned out that Alif was already aware and aware of their presence.

"Rania," call Alif.

"Yes, I'm here" Rania approached immediately.

"I'm glad you're all here, I'm glad you still care about me,"

Alif felt moved, the corner of his eyes began to water. The joy was so radiated from both of his eyes.

"Don't talk a lot and move first, you have to rest a lot" prevented Rania as Alif tried to get up.

"I want to get hurt, as long as you are always with me" said Alif.

"You can't be like this, we have to deal with problems in adulthood. Now focus on your recovery, don't think about anything else,"

Alif was happy, meaning Rania would not discuss the divorce issue as long as she was sick. It feels like he does not want to heal if with pain he always makes it with them. His heart smiled, but his wife still cared about him.

"Aliff... Alif, where are you son?"

There was a scream from outside, it seemed like the voice of Nani's mother-in-law Rania.

The door was opened hard, looking the figure of a mother who was worried about her son's condition. Rania chose silence to give them a chance.

"It's all because of you, you unlucky lady" he pointed to Rania.
