I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 22 Meeting an Ex

A week later.

Rania is divorced from Alif. Although the man was very kind and still gave a living these days, but his heart was already numb. His decision was no longer disruptive. All requirements as stated on the internet he has prepared. Even today he intends to go to the Religious Court to find out a more detailed explanation, because reading on the website makes his head dizzy.

"Good morning sir, I'm Rania. I want to ask you about the divorce issue" Rania said.

"Oh, please sit down. What do you want to ask?" ask the old man in front of her.

"I want to ask how the procedure is, then what is needed to sue for divorce?"

"Before I explain, if you may know why Miss Rania wanted to sue for divorce?" tanyakanya.

Rania was at a loss to answer, however she did not want to open her family's disgrace. She said let her and her husband know the problem.

"Bu Rania do not be embarrassed, it will certainly be asked at the trial to find the best solution. However, divorce is very hateful to God, but if the reason is strong it is permissible. Later there will be mediation with the defendant, if it can still be repaired we will help during mediation and trial" said the man.

"Oh so sir, actually I do not want to open disgrace in my marriage, but if needed for the purposes of the trial later I will tell you," replied Rania.

Rania took a breath.

"Actually the husband is good, only he is less responsible. He never gives a decent living, even if I have my own income all expenses are my responsibility. My mother-in-law also often insulted and cornered me and the severity of my husband even defended his mother. They both slapped me. I've never been appreciated, I want to get divorced as soon as possible,"

The old man looked mangosteen listening to Rania's story, he was concerned about what happened to the woman. Divorce cases that occur so far are partly motivated economically and because there is interference by parents or in-laws. Both factors are the top cause in divorce cases in Religious courts.

Rania continued to listen to what the old man said, without realizing there was a pair of eagle eyes that had been watching him from earlier. Even the man could clearly hear the conversation of the two. But having to work, the man could not listen to them until it was over.

"Thank you very much for your help, sir," said Rania.

"Together, may there still be a way to unite. Don't forget to pray and cheer" the man replied.

Rania was happy, talking to the old man earlier made her heart a little relieved. So happy that he accidentally hit someone who was busy with documents in his hand.

"Oh sorry, I didn't accidentally,"

Rania immediately picked up the scattered paper because of her, the man helped her. How surprised he was to find out who the person he hit earlier, it turns out he is a person he knows very well. A man who for years disappeared from his life.

"The ladder? Is this really you?"

Rania was surprised to see a handsome figure in front of her, the eagle eyes that always made her fall in love at that time. Unfortunately the man had to continue his studies abroad at that time so they separated and broke up for years. Rania had hoped about the man, but she realized that maybe the man had fallen in love with a woman abroad, that's when Alif came and managed to treat her heartbreak.

"Rania, how are you?" ask Rangga.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm good. You yourself how are you?" ask Rania.

"As you can see, I'm fine. We haven't seen each other in a long time, let's chat for a while while eating,"

Rania immediately watches in her hands, there is still a short while before Alisa comes home.

"Alright, come on,"

They immediately headed for the food court near there, the atmosphere was not too crowded because it was not lunch time.

"Hey honey, what's your name?" ask Rangga to Rania's son.

"Star," the boy replied briefly.

"A handsome star like his mother, what star wants to eat?"

"Ok, wait here first yeah,"

Rangga rushed to find a store that sells ice cream, long enough he was looking, lucky to finally get it too.

"Honey, this ice cream is fast in eating yes," said Rangga.

"Cloak, Om," the boy replied.

"I'm sorry, my son has troubled you" said Rania feeling guilty.

"It's okay, I'm happy if the stars are happy. By the way you're here on what business, Nini eh Rania I mean?"

Duh this man still remembers the call unfortunately when dating first, making Rania a little baper. But he realized that now he was married, he had to take care of his heart even though he would soon be divorced.

"I'm on business, if you why are you here?"

Rania tried to cover up what had happened to her.

"I am taking care of my cousin's divorce case, actually the first to take care of a case like this, it is also because it was forced by him," replied Rangga.

"That your goal has finally been achieved to become a lawyer, congratulations Rangga. I'm happy for you, too,"

The man stared fixedly at Rania's two bouncy eyes, making the woman misbehave and chose to turn her eyes elsewhere. There was never a word of breaking up between them back then, just because the separation of space and time made him accept the love of another man.

"I hope your husband will never waste you, a woman as good as you do not deserve to be hurt" Rangga said.

'You don't know what's happened to me in years. I suffered so much, Rangga, of course it's just Rania's inner word.

"I'm happy enough, what about you? How many children do you have?" ask Rania.

"Me?"

Rangga did not answer and laughed.

"You're laughing, anyway,"

"I'm still alone Nia, no lover let alone a wife. I'm too busy with college and work, not having time to find a woman after you,"

Rangga said seriously, it seems like he did not lie. There was a sense of pleasure that flourished in Rania's heart, but of course she held it back from being seen by the man in front of her.

"I didn't expect you to be alone, I thought you already had another woman and got married,"

"It looks like I'll be waiting for your widow,"

"What's? What did you say?"

"It's okay, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously, yeah,"

"Oh okay. Sorry Rangga, I have to go first because I have to pick up her sister Bintang. Come on, baby, let's go home,"

Rania soon passed from there, but only a few steps Rangga called her.

"Rania, can we meet again after this?" tanyanya expectantly.
