I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 41 Visiting Rangga's Parents

"Darling, are we going to eat first or go straight to grandma and grandpa's house?" ask Rangga when he gets in the car.

"Who's grandmother Om? Nani's grandmother or Arum's grandmother?" asked Alisa innocently.

Rangga scratched his head that was not itchy.

"That's my mother's name Rangga, did you forget? If Nani's my ex-mother-in-law's name, remember?"

"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot a little bit. We're now going to Rahmi's grandmother's house and Irfan's grandfather, they're Om's parents,"

"Are they good, Om? Not as mean as grandma Nani, right?"

Alisa is still traumatized by the treatment of her father's mother, because every time there is a commotion that occurs.

"They're just like Om, so take it easy you guys must love him,"

Alisa was relieved to hear the man's words. They drive with happiness. It takes less than 30 minutes to get there.

"Assynolt,"

All in unison gave greetings when they arrived at Rangga's parents' house. The house is very large and luxurious just like in the soap operas they have seen for the homes of the rich. Rangga's parents are descendants of rich people, the mother of his father is a famous lawyer while her husband is a famous businessman. If the mother of her mother Rangga is a board member while her husband is also a famous businessman. Rangga's parents inherited some business from their parents.

"Om, his parents' house is huge. It must be difficult to take care of a house this big," said Alisa.

"Honey, usually rich people have a domestic assistant to help their work," replied Rania.

"As on the tv it's Mom, it's good that there are servants who work," said Alisa.

Their conversation stopped when the door opened. A housekeeper opened the door after the bell rang.

"Mas Rangga, please come in. Ladies and gentlemen are waiting at the dinner table,"

The aunt immediately led them straight into the dining table. Rangga and everyone immediately greeted those who still looked handsome and beautiful.

"Finally you come too, let's eat first. Talk later after eating only," said Rangga's mother.

"You eat a lot yes, this is a mama who cooks specifically for you. Hope you like it, yes" added Rangga's mother.

"Thank you Auntie, sorry for the trouble" said Rania.

"Dear no, you are special guests so you must be treated with special," he replied.

Rangga's mother's cooking is really good, Alisa is the most greedy to eat it. Rania blushed to the shame of seeing her daughter's behavior.

"Let it be Nia, let's add Alisa again" said Rangga's father.

It seems like Rangga has indeed told a lot about his family, his parents to know the names of his children.

"Alhamdulillah, Grandma's cooking is really delicious, ma'am," praised Alisa after finishing eating.

"Just put the plate down, let auntie clean up. Let's go to the living room, we'd like to have a conversation with you,"

"But..."

"Take care of what Mom says,"

Rangga immediately pulled Rania's hand, they headed to the living room.

"Alisa, Bintang, let's go around. Here there is also a swimming pool and playground behind you," asked Rangga.

"It's okay, they want to talk to you. Take it easy they don't bite, '" he joked.

Rangga soon passed from there, there lived Rania and the two old men. Nervousness filled the recesses of Rania's heart, beating her groggy feelings during the divorce trial with Alif. No matter what they were going to talk about, he could not expect it at all.

"Rangga has told me a lot about yourself. About your meeting, about your divorce too. I'm sorry Rania, but I also support your decision. Now what are your plans ahead?" ask Rangga's mother.

"Thank you, Auntie. For now I just focus on raising children and running a business that I have previously pioneered, Auntie," answered Rania politely.

"You are a great woman, Rangga told me how your struggle to be successful like this. Don't you want to rebuild the household, your two children definitely need a father figure who can protect him?"

Rangga's mother's question seems too early to ask at this time, but he was very much married. During this time he never introduced a woman as his lover, except Rania at that time.

"Every woman must have longed for a good husband and father for her children, but the failure of her previous marriage still left a trauma for me. Had God sent a man who sincerely loved me and the children God willing I would have accepted, Auntie. But for now I still have not thought in that direction, because also still in the period of iddah,"

"I was very eager to see Rangga married, he was 37 years old but did not want to marry. I want to hold a grandson. Later if you get married it is better to stay here, this house will be crowded with the presence of Alisa and Bintang" said Rangga's mother.

"Yes Rania, you also do not delay to have children later. Your age is ripe, after the iddah period it is better to get married immediately" said Rangga's father.

Rania was stunned by what Rangga's parents were talking about, why could they think if he would marry Rangga. But the man said nothing about it. Rania is confused as to how to deal with this misunderstanding.

"Sorry Om, Auntie, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. Rangga cannot marry me who is only a widow, he must have chosen a woman who is still a girl" said Rania.

"Darling, we don't have a problem with your widowed status. If with you he can get the happiness he was looking for, om and aunty agree really," replied Rangga's mother.

Rania could not answer anymore. Rangga owed him an explanation. The man made himself feel like a dead flea in front of his parents.

In the midst of the anxiety that hit Rania, the man finally came guiltlessly with his two children who looked very happy.

"Look at that Rania, your two children are also very fond of your future husband. Rangga must be a good husband and father to you"

'Oh God why everything is so' Rania's inner wail.

"Hasn't he finished talking? What the hell is it talking about, using all the secrets?" ask Rangga.

Rania is upset with the man, whether she really does not know or just pretends not to know.

"This is the secret of the three of us" replied his mother.

Rania smiled in response.

"We take a break, yes, you also rest. Come home later in the afternoon or run out of magrib just yeah, don't rush,"

Rangga's parents immediately went to his room. Irritatedly, Rania pinched the man's arm.

"Akh. Nia's sick," cried Rangga.

"Why do you say we want to marry your parents?" rania asked annoyed.

"I didn't say that" replied Rangga.

"So you don't want to marry me?"

There was a sense of disappointment in his heart when he asked. Maybe Rangga's parents misunderstood.

"Do you want us to get married?" ask Rangga.
