I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 38 Officially Divorced

Alif finally relented, he left them after saying goodbye. They enjoyed their dishes in silence.

"Mom, after we eat we go home, yes" Alisa's pinta.

"Why is that, honey?" ask Rania.

"I'm tired, Mom,"

Alisa lied, actually she felt sorry to see her mother who was sad. He just feels not willing to see his father in the company of another woman, let alone his mother who is still his father's wife.

"Board boat ride.." whining Star.

"Alright, we take a boat first after that go home yes," break up Rania.

Actually he was also lazy, his mood became ugly because of Alif. But as a mother she must keep her promise to her two children.

After accompanying her two children on a boat, Rania immediately left the place. She had passed her husband and the woman, but she turned her eyes in another direction and continued to walk without looking again.

Next day. The Alif family residence.

"Mom, I don't want to be asked to deliver Desi and her son again. Because of the incident Rania misunderstood and accused me of hypocrisy," said Alif.

"Sesi is a good woman, although a widow has one child but she is a successful career woman. If indeed Rania does not want to return, why are you chasing after her again. There's no harm in you opening your heart to Desi" his mother replied.

"But I love Rania, Mom. It's not easy to just forget about her, let alone we already have a child,"

Alif remained firm with his stance, although he himself was not so sure he could return to his wife but he would still try until the last blood point.

Two months later.

As the magistrate's hammer rang throughout the courtroom, Alif and Rania's cries instantly broke. After approximately 5 months of divorce proceedings, finally the verdict hearing has been completed in the title. They are officially divorced, both are not husband and wife anymore.

Alif cried because all the efforts he had made to maintain his marriage were fruitless. Now he really has to let Rania go. It was so hard for him, the outcome of the trial made him feel disappointed.

In contrast to Alif, Rania was crying because of the feeling of haru. After his struggle so far finally he can escape from the shadow of his husband and family who had made his life suffer. Moreover, the custody of their two children fell into his hands, there was nothing that pleased him the most other than those two decisions. He was finally able to live quietly with both of his children.

"Congratulations Nia, now you have officially parted with Alif," said Rangga.

"Thank you Rangga. Actually I do not want to be a widow, but the circumstances that forced me to make that decision" replied Rania.

"I know, I can also understand your feelings," said Rangga.

"Now that you can smile with relief, Nia, your lawsuit has been cleared by the judge. I hope you'll never regret having decided that,"

Alif approached his ex-wife, there was a pain to scratch her heart when she had to realize this woman was no longer his.

"I'm not going to regret it. Even though we are officially divorced, we can still raise our children together. We met well then I hope to part ways well, too" said Rania.

"Now you can find my replacement, and I hope he can be much better than me" Alif replied.

Alif looked at Rania and Rangga alternately, I don't know what he meant. Maybe he felt the two people had a relationship.

"Sorry Mas, I'm not your easily duplicitous self. Even you dare to hold other women when we are still legally husband and wife" said Rania annoyed.

"Nia, I explained it back then. Mother forced me..."

"It's my business, right now it's none of my business anymore. I don't want to interfere with your life. Now you're free to choose anyone in your life,"

A few moments later.

"How's the decision, Lif? You are officially divorced, right? How about child custody? You didn't ask for gono gini's treasure?"

Just arriving home, his mother had already strapped him with various questions. He sighed a little harshly while laying his body on the living room sofa.

"Why is he even silent?" ask her mother a little upset.

"Mom, I just got here. Let me rest first, my head is dizzy" replied Alif annoyed.

"Mom can't wait to hear the story,"

"Why didn't mom come along just now then,"

"I was lazy to meet Rania, I was also traumatized by dealing with the law,"

Alif ignored his mother's words, he closed his eyes because his head was getting dizzy.

"Lif, in asked, even sleep anyway," hardik his mother.

"Oh my God, just make people hang,"

Alif immediately rose from his sleep in shock, inevitably he sat back down and had to tell the results of the trial immediately so that his mother stopped disturbing him.

"I'm officially divorced with Rania, custody falls into her hands. There is no treasure gono gini because I never gave him anything, the bike he just bought himself. Now that you've heard everything, please don't bother me anymore,"

Alif lay back and closed his eyes, he was stressed. I don't know when he can forget Rania, the woman who has always accompanied his days.

"You're so stupid the Lif, the treasure obtained before you divorced should be in two. You deserve it all, you should demand it," his mother still rambles.

"Okay, ma'am don't talk about treasure anymore. I'm quite embarrassed by the fact that the allegations did not provide a decent living so far, want to be put where my face if it demands the property that Rania got himself," said Alif annoyed.

The man got up and went up to the second floor, he closed the door of his room loudly because he was annoyed with his mother who managed to make him more furious.

"It's all mom's fault, if only my mom hadn't been mean to Rania, it wouldn't have been possible for me and Rania to get divorced" Alif said.

His hand hit the wall in annoyance, a hint of fresh blood flowed from his hand.

"Lif, I'm sorry. Please open the door" his mother asked.

"What else do you want, ma'am?"

Alif yelled at the woman. His heart was uncomfortable because it could not accept the decision, but his mother increasingly upset him.

"Mom just wanted to talk for a little while" said her mother.

"I'm on my own, please get out of here, ma'am,"

Alif held his head that was turning.

"But Lif...."

"Go..."

Pyarrr...

A picture frame he threw on the floor.
