I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 23 Apology

Rania launched her vehicle amid heavy city road traffic. His heart was covered in peerless anxiety, the man of his past came back accidentally to disturb the peace of his soul. His presence is not right because now he has become the property of others even though he will soon be separated, he does not want any slander. Especially the man is still alone.

"Where's my mom from, how are her clothes so neat?" ask Alisa.

"From the court, son, let's get you home, let's hurry,"

Alisa immediately went up behind her mother, they immediately headed home.

Her night.

"Hello master father, we're playing with the horses, yes" Alif held the Star and flew it into the air, making the boy laugh cheerfully.

"But later buy ice cream Yes Well, as om had bought," said Bintang.

"What kind of cream is it, honey? Om who?" ask Alif.

"Es a nice and big cream, um her friend's mom was well,"

Alif's forehead was wrinkled, all this time he didn't know if Rania had a friend of a man. All this time his wife has never been anywhere, only when selling online is she often out of the house.

"Nia, who does the star mean? He said he bought her ice cream?" ask Alif full of search.

"Oh, my friend from school. He met in an accident at the Religious Court. Oh yes, I have filed for divorce. We just have to wait for the trial, I hope you come" replied Rania.

"Is that so fast, Nia? Do you really want to leave me?"

Alif's knee felt limp, the strength in his body instantly disappeared. He was so hopeful that the cord of love between them would continue to be bound, but in fact the loss would be faster.

Rania approached the man who was still her husband, holding his shoulder to strengthen him. Actually he did not want to hurt his heart, but he was no longer able to live with the man anymore.

"Mas, we'll be together raising the kids. I won't get in the way if you want to meet them, they are also your children. I hope you can accept my decision sincerely, I do not want if we become enemies because of this matter" said Rania.

"But may I stay here, with you and the children until the divorce is over?" ask Alif.

Rania nodded.

"Yes, but we can't sleep in the room" replied Rania.

Alif is relieved Rania still allows him to stay, at least he still has a chance to keep trying to get his wife to cancel the divorce.

Next day.

This morning Alif had left for work and took Alisa to school. Only Rania remained busy recording the incoming order while waiting for the Star to wake up. He did not expect the turnover of a month yesterday has reached 20 million with profits that can be 30 percent of turnover. This month it looks like the turnover he earns could rise sharply as more demand from his resellers grows.

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

"Waalaikum salam" replied Rania.

"Mom, Dad, come on in, please,"

"You're selling more and more, Nia," said her mother-in-law.

"Yes ma'am, thank God there are more and more messages" replied Rania.

They sit in the living room while Rania goes to the kitchen to make them a drink.

"Please drink Well, Mom. The cake is also at this meal also sells me, it tastes very good"

"Well, you can dong later I bring it home,"

"Yes ma'am, just take it,"

"Actually we came here to have a serious conversation with you son, it's about your marriage,"

His father-in-law spoke carefully and in an orderly manner, not knowing what he was trying to convey. Rania chose to just listen, she did not want any commotion.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Said Alif you have taken care of divorce papers to the court, are you really sure you want to separate? What about your two kids, later?" ask his father-in-law.

"Yes, yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, but I can't live with Mas Alif anymore. Children's problems, we will take care of them together even though they are separated" replied Rania.

"Nia, I'm sorry if this has always been bad to you, I'm just afraid of losing my son. But I now realize that if Alif can't live without you, I beg you not to leave him. I promise I won't ruin your lives again" said her mother-in-law.

Rania sighed, not expecting her mother-in-law to apologize to her. But her heart was frozen, there was no love for her husband.

"Sorry Mom, my disappointment is too deep for Mas Alif. Honestly, I have no feelings for him anymore. I still allow him to stay here just because of the kids. I hope she can leave this house as soon as we officially part," Rania replied.

The look on her mother-in-law's face turned sour, so obviously she didn't like Rania's answer. Though previously he always tried to shake their marriage, somehow it could turn 180 deraja and just did not want them divorced.

"I really appreciate your decision, I can also understand your feelings Nia. I hope there's still a miracle to your marriage, honestly it's hard to lose you,"

His father-in-law looked sad, indeed all this time he had always been kind to Rania in contrast to his wife who often hurt the woman. Actually, Rania is very heavy, but she does not want to live the rest of her life with endless suffering.

"I'm sorry Nia ya, Dad,"

Unable to persuade Rania, the two finally say goodbye. Rania hopes that her husband can have a replacement that fits with his family, especially his mother-in-law.

In the afternoon.

Rania and her two children had been neat, they were about to take an afternoon walk. Since he sells online and earns quite a lot of profit, he often invites both of them out even if only just buy snacks or take them on a ride.

They really enjoyed this togetherness, something that became luxurious when it was still dependent on the money given by her husband. Just about to leave Rania's phone rings. The unknown number sent him a message.

[Sore Rania, what are you doing with the kids?]

"Whose number is this?" ask Rania, speak for yourself.

He was curious and saw the profile photo of the person, he was very surprised to find Rangga sending a message. Suddenly his heart rippled, his lips smiled like a SMU child who got a message of love from his lover. Is Rania wrong for still being someone's wife but happy to get a message from another man? Maybe yes, but that is life. There is no truth without error, and vice versa.
