I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 50 Theft

Next day.

"Honey, let's be late for school, soon" Rania pinta.

"Yes ma'am, in a moment" replied Alisa.

The girl immediately put on her socks and shoes. When they finished, they immediately rushed to school.

"Honey, I have to go to the shop first. Are you okay with me going around for a minute?" ask Rania.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm coming" replied the star.

They're heading for Rania's basic business.

"Well, it's still closed. It's 7 o'clock, where are they?"

Rania tries to contact the person who takes care of her business, but her phone is not active. His feelings are increasingly uncomfortable, because bu Nani and Pak Tarno just this week working for him. Previously the care was a couple who were still good friends with him, but because they had to go home then he was forced to find new employees.

"Mom, why is the store next door closed?" ask Rania to her shop next door neighbor.

"Bu Rania, said the mother who told them to sell all the goods. Mr. Tarno said the mother's shop would be rented," replied the mother.

"What's? I never told them that, lest they would steal things in the store," said Rania.

He immediately opened his shop with a spare key that he always carried. How surprised he was to see his shop empty, there were only storefronts and shelves for his merchandise display.

"Gosh, they're thieves. I need to call Marni Ma'am,"

"Halo Mbak, Bu Nani and Pak Tarno had brought all the merchandise in the store. All ludes are left only shelves and storefronts," explained Rania.

"Is that right Nia? They are good people, who are determined to steal. Did you report it to the police?" ask mbak Marni.

"Not yet, from here I will directly report. Please help me, I will know them" replied Rania.

"I'm sorry Nia, I really don't know if they have any evil intentions. If you know it's impossible to recommend" said Marni, feeling guilty.

"Yes Ma'am, I know this has nothing to do with Marni. Please let me know if there's any information, yes,"

After contacting her friend who recommended them, Rania immediately contacted Rangga. The man was the first person Rania remembered when she had any problems. Because he knew the man was always there for himself no matter how busy his life was.

"Assalamualaikum, Ranges,"

"Waalaikum hail, what is Nia? Why do you seem to panic like that?" ask Rangga.

"My grocery store has been stolen, all the merchandise's gone. I was suspicious of my two new hires because their phones were all off" Rania replied.

The woman was sad because this store was her first business that delivered her success and penetrated into other businesses. He realized that all this was a test, but still it felt like he could not take it easily.

"You go home, we go to the police station together. I'll be there soon,"

Rania followed Rangga's words, she and the Star returned home. He impatiently waited for Rangga to arrive.

"Male,"

"The ladder, I'm here,"

"You're patient, they're gonna get caught. Let's go to the police station,"

Rangga stood by him patiently. Because the man was a lawyer so well-versed with the law. Officers respected him so much that they rushed to uncover the case.

"Just calm down, Miss Rania and Mr. Rangga, we will move as soon as possible. If there is information, we will notify you as soon as possible" said the officer.

"Thank you, we believe this case. Hopefully the culprit will be caught soon," replied Rangga.

After everything is done they immediately pick up Alisa before returning to Rania's house.

"Prophe Nia, this is a test. Don't worry, if it's still sustenance insyaallah must come back. If it doesn't come back, I'll make it a better replacement,"

Rangga clasped his hands gently to strengthen him, there was a sense of calm in the heart of the woman. I don't know why the presence of this man always makes his worries disappear.

"Thank you Rangga for everything, thank you always be there when I need," said Rania sincerely.

"You know I sincerely do it, even for the rest of my life I'm willing. When did you allow me to protect you day and night? Be of faith to you, Alisa and the Stars?"

"Rangga.. beware" cried Rania.

"Have spoken later at home, see that you almost hit because you are not focused" said Rania.

"I'm sorry, you're okay, right?" ask Rangga.

"It's okay, just shocked," replied Rania.

They continued their journey calmly. There was no more talk until he arrived at Rania's house.

"Let's go in, let's make you a drink first,"

While Rania makes a drink, Rangga is engrossed in chatting with the two girls. They look increasingly familiar with Rangga, if people do not know it might think Rangga as their father.

"Nia, aren't you planning to buy a house so as not to contract anymore?" ask Rangga.

"There is a plan, but still confused to buy in which area. It's also still a few months left, there's still time to search" replied Rania.

"Why don't you just stay with me? Don't you have feelings for me, Rania?"

At the crossroads of such questions Rania was at a loss to answer. He had feelings for this man. However, she was not confident because of her status as a widow.

"I'm still like the old Rania, but please give me some time to solidify my heart. If there were no feelings, it would be impossible to get this far," Rania replied.

The man smiled, at least he knew that Rania had the same feelings as him. He was willing to wait some more time.

"Why do Mom and Om Rangga both smile like that?"

Alisa who came suddenly from the bathroom shocked the two of them. Both are wrong in their own ways. Alisa was happy because ever since her mother and father separated, her mother never cried again.

"Alisa darling, do you think Om same mom you fit no?" ask Rangga.

"Suitable dong, mother and Om Rangga are equally good. Mother is always happy if there is Om, Om Rangga is also always smiling when with mother,"

Alisa's plain speech made the two blush in embarrassment. But what the girl said was true. The love in their hearts grew more and more with the passage of time.

Indeed, in life, we are sometimes not paired with a real soul mate. There will be the wrong people first fill our lives, before God presents the best soul mate. Maybe only the love story of Rania and Rangga for example, was rediscovered after being separated for a dozen years. Because God's destiny is the best.
