I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 24 Meeting Again

Rania did not reply to Rangga's message, she thought later she would reply after taking her son out. He parked his bike near the afternoon market, an area where there are many odong-odongs and all kinds of games and five-time traders with a wide variety of trades they sell.

"Alisa what do you want to buy? That's there a lot of selling, mom wait here ya fear star looking,"

Rania offered her daughter 50 thousand to buy snacks she wanted, while she waited for the Star who was riding odong-odong.

"Well, what's that kid, it looks good,"

"It's a peck for Mom, this one's egg roll for me and the Stars,"

Alisa gives a lick to her mother and rolls eggs without saos for her sister, while she chooses egg rolls with a little spicy sauce. Cheap snacks are festive but taste good and taste all circles. Although some say the snacks are not healthy but never reduce the interest.

"Om. om, here," cried the Star.

"Star, who's the same darling?"

"That's, mom's the same sister,"

The star pointed to his right, It turns out that Rania is not visible because of obstructed father owner odong-odong. As the smile fell on the corner of the eagle-eyed man's lips, the woman who had always filled the space in his heart was now before him.

"Hello, Rania," said the man.

The plump eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw the eagle's eyes smiling sweetly towards him, but he tried to remain calm so as not to be obvious if he was happy to see the man again.

"Come, how are you here?" ask Rania.

"Maybe we are a match, so always meet," seloroh Rangga.

"Rangga, I'm married and have two children" said Rania.

'But soon you will get divorced' of course Rangga can only be impassive.

"Wouldn't God's soul mate know Nia, sometimes we'd be met with the wrong person before meeting the best,"

The man looked at Rania meaningfully, making Rania get carried away.

'What does Rangga mean by saying that? Does he still hold a taste for me?' inner Rania.

"Mom, who is that?" alisa asked curiously, breaking her daydream.

"That's Om Rangga, this is my first child named Alisa,"

Alisa greeted Rangga politely.

"It's so pretty that you look like Nia, a good boy," Rangga praised as she rubbed Alisa's hair.

"It's almost magrib, we go home first yes," said Rania.

He immediately brought his two children home, he did not want any slander considering he had not officially divorced. As much as possible he should be able to maintain his self-esteem so as not to become a gossip in society.

Nightfall.

Alif came at exactly 22:00, because the door was already Rania lock forced the man to knock. Rania opened the door for her husband. Actually she is not comfortable still living with her husband because soon he will divorce, but he has already promised the man.

Bruck...

Alif collapses in front of Rania, right after she opens the door. That guy looks so weak.

"Mas Alif, what's wrong?" ask Rania worried.

Alif did not answer, his eyes opened for a while but then closed again. Rania immediately swept her onto the sofa, she laid her husband there. Alif's body felt very hot, Rania immediately took water to compress it.

Alif raved, the heat reached 39.2 degrees Celsius. Rania continued to compress him patiently.

"Mas, have you eaten yet?" ask Rania.

"I'm why, Nia?" ask Alif who is starting to wake up.

"Mas just fell in front of the door, have you eaten yet? You should take your medicine immediately,"

Alif shook his head weakly, his eyes red like a lack of sleep.

"Well, I'll get you to eat and take your medicine, yeah,"

Rania immediately went to the kitchen to get Alif to eat, Alif seemed to close his eyes. His head had felt dizzy since the trip, but as hard as he could bear so as not to fall.

Rania bribed her patiently, she could not bear to see her husband like this. As a human he still has empathy, let alone when Alif has changed this well, even if he is sick when he is evil he will still take care of him.

"It was Nia, I was full" said Alif.

"Yes, now the medicine is in the drink yes,"

Alif immediately took the medicine that Rania gave, after which he went back to lying down. Thinking about divorce and fatigue work to make his physical weakened, especially after an accident that hit him the other day makes his head sometimes suddenly feel dizzy.

"Yes I have stayed first yes, if you need anything just call, I'm in the room with the children" said Rania.

"Yes, thank you Nia" Alif replied.

Rania just nodded then left Alif alone sleeping on the sofa, while she went straight into the room. This time he did not close the door so he could know if Alif needed his help.

☆☆☆

Next day.

As usual Rania doing her routine activities as a housewife, cooking, washing and others. She checked on Alif again, making sure her husband had improved. It turned out that his body was no longer hot, he continued his work.

"Nia, I want to talk" call Alif.

"Wake up, what do you want to say?"

Rania sat down in front of her husband.

"Is it true that you don't love me anymore? Is it true that your decision is final to divorce?"

Again the problem that Alif asked, lazy it feels Rania to answer.

"What I've said I won't pull back Mas, please don't always ask what you already know the answer to. I don't want any more fights between us" Rania replied firmly.

"You lied to Nia, to be honest if you still love me. I can feel your concern for me, I can even see the worry in the look in your eyes when I was sick last night" Alif replied.

"I do care about you, but not as a husband but because I still have a conscience as a human being. Even if it wasn't you who fell right in front of me last night, I would have helped her too" Rania said.

"Please don't misunderstand my attitude, if you've always been like this you better stay at your parents' house from now on" he added.

Rania soon passes, leaving Alif still carried away with the woman's attention. Rania is indeed a good girl and high social spirit, even she did not hesitate to give people in need even though at that time she was also lacking. Especially if the one who needs help is the father of his two children, it is certain that he helped him willingly.

"Well Nia, I'll get out of here soon if that makes you happy,"

Alif said with sadness, he tried to rise with the remnants of his strength. Yet...

Bruck...

Alif collapsed again and hit the table.
