I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 32 Call Letter

"What are you doing there, how long?"

Their father followed, and the man was surprised to see his daughter rubbing the back of his son sitting on the floor blankly. It seemed like something bad had happened to his son.

"What's your problem, Nel?" his father asked again.

"This sir, court summons,"

Nelly gave the paper she was holding. His father immediately read the paper, and his face also turned sad. Didn't expect that soon the first trial of Alif and Rania's divorce would be in the title.

"What are you doing, how is his face so sour all that?"

Bu Nani who was curious because no one returned to the dining table, followed to the front. He was surprised to see all were pecking with faces full of sadness.

"Alif has just received his first divorce summons, ma'am," her husband replied.

"Oh kirain what's up. Yes, what else, better sincere than heartache. Maybe you guys are just getting here,"

Tumben once bu Nani can think wisely, but usually always muddy the situation. Maybe in prison makes himself really penitent.

"Your mother is right Lif, you better just let it go. Now it's better to focus on raising your child without hurting each other. Honestly, I also lost Rania, she was a good daughter-in-law. But maybe you guys haven't made a match yet, so what do you want to do again" said his father.

"Maybe Mom and Dad are right, I need to learn to accept reality,"

Alif immediately got up from his seat, he stepped away towards his room after taking the summons from his father's hand. Talking is easier than doing, with easy lips say learning sincerely but in fact the heart is not willing.

So did Alif feel now, the pain spread throughout his body. Not only the heart but the physique also became fragile. Love can change everything. Weakness becomes limitless strength. But not infrequently the power of falling helpless by love.

"God, why am I so scared. I can't afford to lose them. Rania, Alisa, Star I love all of you," Alif cried in solitude.

Love had torn his heart apart, now he was really sorry for not being able to maintain the integrity of his household. Alif lay down while still sobbing, he was not a strong man as a man, he had a soft heart and easily carried away feelings.

☆☆☆

At Rania's house.

This woman has been informed by Mr. Doni, if today the first divorce summons will be sent to her husband's house. He felt happy because soon he would be separated from Alif and his family. Even though they have made peace, it does not mean that this divorce is also canceled.

Tring.. tring...

Rania immediately picked up her phone that was ringing.

"What else did Rangga call me?" ask Rania.

He hesitated to answer the man's call, letting his phone ring until it stopped. But before long his phone rang again, he was forced to answer it.

"Hello Rania, am I bothering you?" ask Rangga softly.

"Yes I'm actually a little busy" replied Rania flatly.

"I know you enough, I know you're just. Why are you avoiding me? What's my fault?"

Rangga knew very well that if the woman tried to avoid him, she was his first woman. Although at that time they were still very young, but the man was very familiar with all the attitudes and behaviors of his lover at that time. Rania remains the same.

"Why didn't you tell me you already knew about my divorce plan?" rania asked annoyed.

"Oh, so that's why you stay away from me. I just don't want you to be awkward, I'm sure sooner or later you'll tell yourself about your marriage. I just don't want you to be uncomfortable if I get too involved in your business. I just found you, I don't want to lose yourself back to Rania,"

"It was not me who disappeared Rangga, but you who left without news at that time. Never mind, I don't want to talk about anything anymore. Right now I just want to focus on raising my two children especially soon I will get divorced" said Rania.

"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about. Divorce will be quickly completed if your husband is silent or absent. But if she's suing for child custody or she doesn't want a divorce, then the process will get harder,"

Rania had been lazy to talk to Rangga, but there was a lot of important information that this man gave her about the divorce issue. It makes him excited, so it does not feel 1 hour more they chat. They only stopped when the power on Rania's phone had given a warning. They promised to meet at lunch the next day.

☆☆☆

Next day.

"Darling, are you hungry again?" ask Rania.

"No, ma'am, I bought meatballs at school. Why why?" ask Alisa.

"Mom's not cooking, soon I'll take you out to lunch. We will meet Rangga there later," replied Rania.

"Om who was handsome and nice the other day huh, Mom? Wow must be exciting,"

Rania nodded with a smile, she was happy to see their excitement.

At exactly 11:30 they immediately leave for the designated place. Actually Rangga invited them to a Japanese restaurant, but he refused because his tongue taste is not there, let alone his son who is foreign to the taste so definitely less like it. They prefer the cuisine of the archipelago.

"Hello Alisa, Star, how are you?"

"Good, Om,"

Both answered in unison. Since their stomachs were already rumbling, they immediately ordered food. They ate voraciously while occasionally joking cheerfully. Rangga remains his old self, who is always able to warm the atmosphere wherever the man is.

"Nia, it's got a chili on your lip,"

Rangga pointed at Rania's lips that were smeared with sambal, the woman tried to clean it. But there was still something left behind, Rangga attentively wiped it with a tissue.

When the atmosphere became a little awkward, they continued eating to neutralize the heart that was pounding just because of sambal.

☆☆☆

The Alif family residence.

Alif had locked himself in the room since morning, he only came out when his stomach was hungry. He has no spirit of life, his desire to try sincerely is not accepted by his heart.

Tring.. tring...

His phone kept ringing non-stop, but he didn't want to talk to anyone.

"It's very noisy. What the heck Wanto is, work is still later this afternoon at this hour is already disturbing,"

With a feeling of annoyance he was forced to pick up the phone.

"Alif, you should see this. I'll send the picture now to you,"

Clik...

Not to spill his frustration, the call has been turned off by his friend unilaterally. Not long after the message notification appeared, Alif immediately checked it. He wondered what Wanto wanted to show him.

"Rania? No way" Alif covered his mouth with his hands, he could not believe what he saw.
