I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 39 Alif Sick

Next day.

"Where's the excuse, hasn't it come down for breakfast yet? Did he not go to work?" ask mother.

"Try me to call Mas Alif, yes,"

Nelly immediately rushed to call her brother in her room.

Tok.

"Mas Alif, I told you to have breakfast. Didn't go to work today?"

Nelly tapped out quietly, but there was no telling from within.

"Is Mas Alif still sleeping?" ask Nelly.

"Mas, wake... Come breakfast. Everyone's waiting at the dinner table,"

Nelly slightly shouted for her brother to wake up, but there was no movement from within. He was afraid to disturb his brother so chose to come down again to tell his parents.

"Where is Nel, why are you going down alone?" ask father.

"I've tapped and I've called, but there's no answer Well" replied Nelly.

"That boy yes, yesterday has kicked me out now is still a slur. He thought if he was divorced then his world collapsed what, like no other girl," his mother sneered.

"Yes must be sad, ma'am. Mas Alif and Mbak Rania were married for 11 years more, difficult to be happy to face together, must be hard to accept the reality now is so former. I've never experienced it, so I don't know what it's like, '" Nelly said.

"Heh basic brash child, do you swear mother to be a widow that is. It's good to talk to you," his mother replied.

"Makanya ma'am, I told you to keep oral. If you want to be appreciated by people, then you also have to learn to respect others" said her husband.

"Ah you two are both a lot of talk, let the mother call Alif. The child is sometimes outrageous, very happy to make parents bother,"

While stepping upstairs, Ms. Nani continued to babble. Her husband and daughter could only shake their heads at her behavior.

"Lif, Dolly... Get up, everyone is waiting for breakfast. If you keep shutting yourself up, I'm gonna break this door down,"

Bu Nani shouted in full force, even though he had not had breakfast yet but his strength was extraordinary. But the door still did not shift in the slightest, making Nani's mother rise in blood.

Bruck...

Ms. Nani fell because she was too hard to open the door that turned out to be unlocked. He grimaced because he hit the floor. He slowly approached his son's bed.

"Lif, wake up it's noon,"

He shook his son's body slowly, but Alif was still silent. He held his son's forehead, it turned out to be very hot.

"Jeez, you're sick, son," said Ms. Nani.

"Sir, sir, come quickly. Alif is sick, his body is very hot," he shouted.

With a crush on her husband and also her daughter went up.

"It's hot, just call the doctor. We can't take him to the hospital" Alif's father said.

"Bring it up, sir, we'll cut it together,"

They immediately took Alif to a nearby hospital. The heat was so high that his family was very worried.

"How's my son doing, Doc?" ask Bu Nani.

"The heat has started to fall, but please do not let the patient stress. Mr. Alif is severely stressed and dehydrated. From then the patient always called Rania's name, if you can please bring her here to help the patient recover immediately," said the doctor.

"Well Doc, thank you," replied Alif's father.

"We'd better call Rania's mom, Dad," Nelly said.

"We'll try, but Nia's a good person. He must be willing to help so that Mas Alif quickly improve. Let me get the phone,"

Nelly immediately picked up her phone and contacted Rania.

Tut. tut's...

"Hello, Ms. Nia," said Nelly.

"Yes Nel, what's wrong?" ask Rania.

"Sir, I know you're officially separated. But now Mas Alif is in need of help, he is being treated in the hospital. Ever since you wanted the name Ma'am, can Mbak come here?"

Nelly also explained her brother's pain and what the doctor recommended. Rania listened well to what Nelly was telling her.

"Well, Nel, I'm going out there with the kids now,"

Rania immediately asked permission to Alisa's teacher, she could not enter because she had to come to visit her father who was in care.

"Darling, I'm sick so we're going to see him. Let's get ready,"

Rania immediately bathed the Star, after which they left for the hospital. Heavy traffic keeps them longer on the road. After 1 hour they arrived at the hospital.

"Assalamualaikum, how is Mas Alif Yah?" ask Rania.

"He has come. He is still half conscious, you just go in" replied Alif's father.

Rania opened the door slowly, Alif was still closed but his body sometimes moved.

"More... Nia..."

That's all that came out of her ex-husband's lips with his eyes still closed. Rania becomes sad, she is very concerned to see the situation of Alif. It's been months not living in a roof, it should be easier for him to forget himself.

"Mas Alif, I've come, I'm here, Mas,"

Rania approached, speaking softly near Alif's ear. He held Alif's forehead, still feeling warm.

"Miss..."

"Yes, I'm here,"

Alif opened his eyes, tears flowing from the corner of his eyes when he saw the presence of Rania at his side.

"I'm not dreaming, is this really you Nia?"

Alif clasped Rania's hand, proving that what he felt was not just a dream.

"Yes, it's me. The kids come to see you, I'll call them, too, for a second,"

Rania immediately called her two children to accompany her, however they were no longer muhrim. He did not want his heart to weaken, he came just because he remembered Alif was part of his two children. What happened to the man will also affect the lives of his two children.

"What sick dad? Get well soon, well, I want to go out with Dad again,"

Alisa's words developed a smile on the man's lips, her spirit flared back.

"You see them, they still need you. Don't just because we've separated you've become weak and disregard their presence, you've got to keep going on with your life Mas,"

Rania's words were like a slap to Alif. How selfish of him who only thinks about his own feelings, grieving and confining himself as if he were the most hurt. He does not realize that everyone is also uncomfortable with this situation.

Rania, her two children and even her family must also have a hard time accepting this divorce. But what can they do if it turns out all is the will of God. They can only move on and continue to live.

"I'm sorry that I can't accept the reality, I'm just a weak man. I promise I won't do this again, Nia,"

Alif said while bowing.
