I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 26 Caught

"Why did you refuse? You don't really accept me,"

"I'm not ready, Mom,"

Alif immediately rose up leaving his wife, he was too disappointed in Rania. For 11 years of marriage his wife never refused when she wanted to channel her passion. Though the two had long not combined love because there was a fight for the sake of quarrel, but apparently his wife did not want it.

"I'm sorry Mas, I'm still not sure about everything" Rania muttered.

Tonight Alif failed to pull off the union, the man lay back on the sofa. Trying to sleep even though his head feels dizzy because of the desire that is not channeled. While Rania became more alert, she did not want to be helped anymore. She did not want until her husband managed to plant the seed in her womb, because since they did not room Rania no longer take her Pill.

Next day.

Alif left for work while taking Alisa to school, the man behaved as if last night nothing happened between him and his wife. Rania was relieved, her husband did not prolong the problem and became more mature. But somehow he is still reluctant to withdraw his divorce lawsuit.

Tring.. tring...

His phone rang, he immediately picked up the flat object he had placed on the nightstand. The name of Rangga with a profile photo that was so tempting to the faith, his heart rippled.

"Why did he call? What should I do, God?"

Rania decided to take the call.

"Yes, hello Rangga," said Rania.

"Finally you want to pick up my phone, I'm not interrupting your time, am I?" ask the man.

"No, I was relaxing while recording the incoming order. Oh yeah sorry the other day I didn't reply to your message, we've met at the market that afternoon,"

"No problem, I can understand. What are you selling, Nia? How come you never told me you had a business?"

"It's just a small business really, just 2 months ago I run. Rather than me being unemployed, I'd rather do business while taking care of the kids,"

"You are a great woman. Can I take you and the kids away?"

Rania thought for a moment, she looked for an excuse to reject the man's offer. She did not want to play with fire while giving her husband a second chance.

"Sorry, I've been very busy lately. Maybe next time, yes" refused Rania.

"Ok well, thanks for picking up my phone,"

In the afternoon.

"It's a shame after teaching mom to take you away, so quickly go home yes don't play" said Rania.

"Then I'm off to teach her, ma'am," Alisa replied.

"Yes don't dong, teaching is important. We can go out after teaching, anyway,"

"Okay ma'am, I'll teach you first, yeah,"

Rania gives the pocket money to her daughter, then immediately wakes up the sleeping Star. After inviting her to play for a while, she immediately bathed him. Alisa's teaching time is only one hour, it's perfect when everything is ready.

"Let's go, baby, let's go" Rania asked.

"What did you bring?" ask Alisa.

"It's a souvenir, you know later, too,"

Rania smiled meaningfully, making the question mark in her daughter's heart grow bigger.

'Actually I want to invite where the hell to use the secret of all' inner Alisa.

The motorbike was traveling at moderate speed along with the traffic jam of the city road. On all roads, the workers who had just returned from the office with a variety of vehicles. The hustle and bustle of the capital city of Surabaya was so obvious at that time. Smoke from vehicles causes greater air pollution.

"Mom, is this the way to Grandma's house? Are we going there?" alisa asked half-screaming.

"Dear, we will visit my grandmother's house" replied Rania.

After it was silent, there was no more chatter. But fear enveloped the little girl's heart. Although her grandmother was not angry anymore but there was a little worry in her heart, she was afraid that her grandmother returned evil again.

A few minutes later, they began to enter the courtyard of Alif's parents' house. The atmosphere seemed quiet, maybe they were going to the mosque or busy inside. Rania stepped carefully.

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

Rania gave her greetings but there was no sahutan, was it possible that they were on the second floor?

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

Rania tried once again, but there was no response either.

"Are they all gone, Mom?" ask Alisa.

"Not knowing either, dear,"

Rania opened the door, apparently unlocked.

"Not in the lock, maybe they're on top. Let's go in, honey," take Rania.

Alisa did not step even though her mother pulled her hand in. The girl seemed doubtful.

"Why, Son?" tanyanya gently.

"I'm afraid if Grandma gets angry again,"

"Calm down, there's a mother. Some grandmothers never get angry with you, most angry with you,"

"I know, I don't want you to be angry and sad anymore,"

Rania rubbed her daughter's hair gently, incident after incident has left trauma for her son.

"Here you go, honey, don't worry. I'm gonna be okay,"

After persuading his daughter, they immediately entered. Sure enough, the first floor was deserted with no occupants.

"You wait here for a second, I'll look up first,"

Rania left them in the TV room, while she stepped towards the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor was her in-laws room as well as Alif's room when she used to live here, while Alif's sister was on the 1st floor. Sayup-one sounded someone was talking, Rania immediately recognized the voice. It was the voice of her mother-in-law and her husband.

"So your wife has managed to persuade you to cancel your divorce?"

"Yes Ma'am, I pretended to be sick and insinuated it subtly. I knew Rania was a pity, so I used her. Especially if the children cry, he will definitely not have the heart,"

They talk while laughing.

"If only he now had no business and a lot of money, the lazy mother sweetened with him. You better stay divorced if she comes back" said her mother.

"Mother don't, I still love her. She always helped me meet the needs of the household, she was a good woman" Alif replied.

"Yes the same, you use it for your benefit as well" said his mother.

Rania was unable to hear more of the chatter of the two of them, her heart was so sick as if slashed. So sure they both lied to him, but he sincerely wanted to fix everything.

With a thousand steps he immediately invited his two children to leave the house. Both of them are still confused by the attitude of their mothers choose to obey only. Along the way Rania's tears continued to fall, her heart was completely broken.
