I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 37 The Zoo

Two months later.

The second trial has been completed, but both are still with their respective positions. Alif refused to separate, every month he still gave a living to his wife and child even though Rania had tried to refuse.

Rania's business is increasingly successful, she has rented a shophouse not far from her contract to arrange her merchandise. All transactions are now done at that place, so the contract is no longer crowded with merchandise. He now managed to recruit two married employees who are still good friends with him.

"Darling, let's get up. Today I'll take you for a walk to the zoo" Rania's pinta.

Alisa was seen rubbing her eyes that were still sleepy, while the Star was just squirming.

"Who wants to ride an elephant? Who's on the boat?"

Once again Rania tried, this time it turned out that they opened their eyes and stared at her.

"Are elephants allowed to ride, ma'am?" ask Alisa.

"We'll see, yes, it's been a long time since I've been there again. So let's get up quickly, there are so many animals that we can see," replied Rania.

"Okay, ma'am, I'm taking a shower right now,"

While waiting for Alisa to finish bathing, Rania told the beauty of the zoo to the Stars. His expression as a professional storyteller makes Bintang very excited and no longer sleepy.

A while later After everything was finished, they immediately set off. It only takes 30 minutes to get to the destination. Due to holidays, the zoo is very crowded with visitors. The entrance queue snaking long once. They wait patiently.

"Well, that's funny, ma'am,"

Alisa seemed to admire the gorilla who was playing with her son. They travel from one animal to another.

"Mom, is that like you?"

Alisa pointed towards their right. Sure enough she saw her husband being with a woman and a girl maybe as young as a star. For some reason his heart felt throbbing, there was a pain that could not be expressed.

'Who are the women and the little girl?' inner Rania.

He immediately grabbed his phone and tried to reach her without taking his eyes off the man. Once tried, not lifted. For some reason she was upset, was there still love in her heart for her husband? He tried again.

"Hello, what's the matter Nia?" ask Alif.

"Where is the gas?" ask Rania.

"I'm at work" replied Alif lying.

"Oh yeah, why is it so crowded?"

"Tumben you care about me, usually don't want to know what I'm doing anymore,"

Rania is upset.

"If you don't want to tell me yes already, Mom,"

"Wait Nia. I'm working, though,"

Alif was still lying, Rania became very upset. Why would he lie if there was no serious relationship with the woman? Alif is a hypocritical man. In the congregation he was strong with his stance to maintain their marriage, but outside he even went with other women even though they had not officially divorced.

"Don't lie to me. I know you're at the zoo with a woman and a little girl. Me and the kids were there, too,"

Alif was seen circulating his gaze, he tried to find the whereabouts of his wife and child. He managed to find it, while their views clashed. Seconds later Rania took her two children away from there.

"Darling, we'll eat first. After we eat, we take a boat. What are you going to eat?" ask Rania softly.

"Hore.I want chicken noodles, Mom,"

"You're meatballs, Mom,"

Both answered almost simultaneously. Luckily around there was a chicken noodle seller who also sold meatballs, so they could eat in one place.

"Sir, order a meatball two servings, one-serving chicken noodles. Drink two iced oranges one iced sweet tea,"

They sat down after ordering the menu. It still looms in her imagination how the woman wrestled spoiled in her husband's arms. Alif let all that as if he also enjoyed it, the clear liquid fell back without being able to prevent.

"Mom crying huh? Is it because I'm with another woman?"

Alisa is very sensitive, she seems to know what Rania is feeling.

"Mom's fine, just a little disappointed in dad. Maybe I've found a replacement for my mom,"

Though the weight of those words slid from his lips. Alif should not complicate the trial process if he already has a successor. She also wanted to be free soon, she didn't want to think about her husband anymore.

"Nia.. You're here apparently, I'm looking for you everywhere,"

They looked towards Alif at the same time. All just shut up without responding. Alif immediately sat down to join them, but Rania turned her gaze in the other direction.

"Sorry Nia, I didn't mean to lie to you. I'm just afraid you're hurt" Alif said.

"If you already have my successor, why are you still complicating the trial process. Please let go of me immediately, don't be the greedy man Mas," Rania replied as she stared intently.

"She you misunderstood, it's not what you think. Mother does want me to be close to the woman, but I can't because I still love you" Alif said.

Rania smiled cynically. How could he say he still loved her while he let his body in the touch of another woman in public. Whereas in the past when he ate with Rangga alone he had accused him of cheating.

"Don't talk nonsense, Mas, I just saw how you guys join together so affectionately. You seem to enjoy everything. Don't be a hypocrite. I don't mind if you're close to another woman, we're getting a divorce. I'm just asking you to be honest and don't complicate the trial process,"

Rania got up and headed towards the meatball seller, she lazily spoke to Alif again. He does not like lies, because with one lie it will create other lies.

Alif was chatting with her two children. It was no reason what he was to that woman so that it could linger here. Rania is getting fed up with her, she just realized that her husband is good at tongue-licking.

"You better get out of here soon, the woman will be looking for you" said Rania.

"Are you jealous of him, Nia?"

Alif stared fixed at the two beautiful beads of his wife, trying to understand the woman's squeeze.

"I'm not jealous, I'm just disappointed in you. You are not honest and you dare to approach other women before we officially divorce" replied Rania.

Alif sighed violently, he felt very guilty. This was all because his mother forced him to go with them to this place.

"Nia, i..."

"Go from here, Mas, or we go,"
