I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 47 To Alisa School

"Hey, what are you doing to my sister-in-law,"

"Rangga, Rania.. What are you doing?"

The voice of Rania's sister-in-law made them both aware. They immediately got up and stood up normally. Both of Rangga's parents stared intently at their son.

"Sorry, Rania fell so I reflexed to catch her" said Rangga.

"I'm sorry my son sir, he must have been unintentional" said Rangga's father.

"Do you know each other?"

"Yes, even they will get married soon after Rania's iddah period is over,"

Rangga's mother answered confidently, while Rangga and Rania could only look at each other.

"Wah Rania, I didn't expect you to get married again soon. I'm so happy for both of you, yes, why didn't Tiara tell me about this matter" said her sister-in-law

"But Mas, this..."

"Yes, let's go there sir, the members can't wait to meet,"

Not yet finished his sentence, Rangga's father had invited his sister-in-law away.

"Rangga, why are you just silent? You should explain all these misconceptions" Rania said.

"I hope this is not a misunderstanding, I hope it soon becomes real Rania," replied Rangga.

"Marriage is not that simple, let alone I am a widow with two children. I'm still traumatized by men, too, I'm afraid..."

"You're afraid I'm gonna act like your ex-husband? Do you think I'm like Alif, Nia?"

Rania could not answer, she knew Rangga was different from Alif. From the past until now they met again, the man always showed responsibility in anything. It's just that he felt it was too soon to talk about marriage, because he had just divorced.

"Tell Nia, do you think I'll be like Alif?" ask Rangga again.

"No Rangga, you're not him. I know you're a good person, but I need time to think. Please don't make me decide as soon as possible, I beg you to understand,"

"All right, I get it. I'm sorry and my parents are, yes,"

Rania nodded and smiled.

"Rangga, come here first" call his father.

"Yes Well, a minute," replied Rangga.

"Let's talk again, yes, I'll go there first" he said.

Rania just nodded while smiling. The man was then busy talking to other important people, while he returned to help his brother.

"So you know that guy? Is it true that your relationship is so close that you're planning a wedding?" ask Tiara.

"He used to be my schoolmate, we met in court while we were going through a divorce. Because he's a lawyer. It was just a misunderstanding, sister, where would she be with a widow like me" replied Rania.

"But it seems like he does love you, seen from the look in his eyes when he sees you. Her parents are also very supportive, and it seems like you have feelings for the man, too" Tiara said.

"So, I don't know what I'm going to do like running water. I don't want to be too hopeful for fear of heartache if it doesn't work out. Let's just talk something else, brother,"

"Well your face hue becomes red, it means you really like it yes, hahaha..." Tiara managed to tease her sister.

Because the adzan magrib roared, all Muslim attendees prayed together in the mosque right in front of the Tiara house. But there are some guests who want to go home first.

"Sister, after I came home. Tomorrow at Alisa's school there is an event, maybe she will practice later" said Rania.

"It's okay, don't forget to bring food and cake. That's still a lot behind," Tiara replied.

Rangga saw Rania standing in front of the neighboring house next to her brother, the man approached her.

"Rania," said.

"Om Rangga,"

Suddenly Alisa came from inside the house and ran to hug the man.

"Hello honey, how are you here? Same who?" ask Rangga.

Seeing her daughter so happy to meet Rangga made envy in her heart. Alisa did not even look at him, maybe she was still angry at him.

"Rangga, tomorrow at Alisa school there is an event and invited the guardian of the student. I've invited Mas Alif but he can't, Alisa wants both her parents present. If you're not busy, will you tomorrow..."

"Of course I want to come to Alisa's school, accompany you,"

"Hore, so tomorrow mom will come with Om Rangga. My parents are complete, like my other friends,"

Alisa cheered happily, a sense of happiness bubbling in Rania's heart seeing her daughter's happiness.

"Yes tomorrow morning I'll pick you up. Now Om goes home first, because there's still a lot of work,"

"Yes, thank you for accompanying me. See you tomorrow,"

"Yes dear, you're welcome. I'm going home first, Nia,"

They escorted the man away, while his parents seemed to have gone home first because they were not seen again.

Next day.

This morning Rania was a little busy, after handing over the management of her rukonya to her employees Rania back home. He immediately prepared himself and Bintang to go to Alisa's school, while his daughter had already left for school.

"Beautiful mom" praise the stars.

"Really Honey?"

The star nodded then laughed, the more the day the Star was getting good at speaking. Even sometimes speaking like an adult made Rania chuckle to hold back laughter.

Tok...

"Assynolt,"

"Waalaikum greetings," Rania opened the door.

"Well, you're so beautiful, Nia" praised Rangga.

"You and the Stars both love to fight, early in the morning it makes people fly to the sky" he said.

"But it's true, honey, pretty mom?"

"Yes, my mother is beautiful Om,"

Both are compact teasing Rania. After closing the windows and locking all the doors, they immediately left for Alisa's school. In about 10 minutes they reached their destination.

Rangga immediately opened the door for Rania, making the woman moved. Many pairs of eyes stared at them as they entered the hall.

"Mother..."

Alisa immediately hugged her mother and also Rangga. The girl was very happy. The show began immediately. Alisa is back with her friends.

"Alisa, is that your new father? Did your dad feel like that?" ask friend.

"My father is busy working, so Om Rangga is accompanying my mother" replied Alisa.

"Oh, I thought he was your stepfather. You said your parents were separated. If stepdad is as bad as stepmom isn't it?" ask his friend again.

"I don't know, but Om Rangga is very good. Even better than my own father,"

Children often say what is, that is what Alisa feels today.

Rangga was seen sitting next to Rania with joy. They saw the appearance of the school.

"That's Rania's mom, she just got divorced. Great yes, just a few days have got a new one, which is more handsome and rich again,"

A mother's words were clearly heard in her ears, making her heart ache to hear it. Is this the fate of a widow, always viewed cynically by others?

"No, no need to listen. Even a Prophet Muhammad looked badly, knowing how we are only ourselves and God,"

Rangga's speech managed to calm the feelings of Rania who had been upset because of the sign of others.
