I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 53 The Successful Ex-Daughter-in-law

Ms. Nani looked at her ex-daughter-in-law from toe to toe. His eyes and heart refused to believe that the woman who came with grace and extraordinary beauty was his former daughter-in-law whom he had wasted. Rania is really beautiful, her appearance is very fashionable with jewelry that is not excessive.

"Kok can the hell he's so close as an artist in just a few months? Though for years so son-in-law he can't take care of himself?" ask Bu Nani.

"That's because now that Rania has a lot of money, she can do the treatment. Maybe in the past Mas Alif did not give him a living more so let alone for treatment, to eat alone may be difficult," answered Nelly.

"There's no way Nel, your Mas isn't such an irresponsible man" replied Ms. Nani.

"Well, how do we know ma'am, who's doing them. But from what I see it seems like it is," said Nelly.

Rania approached towards them, so they stopped gossiping.

"Congratulations, Mom, Nelly. I'm so happy" said Rania.

Rania and everyone greeted the bride and groom's family, and she immediately filled out the guest book and put in the envelope. But secretly Nani took the envelope given by Rania.

"Mom, how did you get the envelope?" ask Nelly.

"Shut up, don't be noisy. I want to know how much it is," replied Ms. Nani.

The woman immediately opened the envelope in her fairly thick hands. It turned out to be 10 pieces of money a hundred thousand.

"One million, Nel," said Bu Nani with sparkling eyes.

"Mbak Nia is good. The 3 million I borrowed he never charged. The most likely gift envelope, ma'am," replied Nelly.

"It turns out he's really rich, yes, so I'm sorry now. Knowing that he was successful like this, I must have defended him" said Ms. Nani.

"Hus, what the hell is that mother talking about. Now that Desi is your daughter-in-law, don't think about anything else. It was as a lesson for the future so as not to arbitrarily insult others,"

They continued to gossip while greeting the guests who came. It seems like Rania's life is becoming a topic that pleases them now.

Meanwhile, Rania and her entourage began to climb to the brides to congratulate the two brides. Alif looked at his ex-wife with a stunned look, Rania like a diamond in her party.

'Oh Allah how beautiful Rania is, I am happy to have her. Had he been willing to refer to it, I would never have let go of her' Inner Alif.

"Congratulations Mas, may sadinah mawaddah warohmah," said Rania.

Desi looks at Rania with a cynical look, now she is not level with Rania who is a good and successful woman. They took pictures together. The children also smiled looking at his father, Rangga's presence at his mother's side made them strong.

After they finished eating the dishes provided. Rangga was so attentive to Rania and her two children made Alif who since their arrival never took his eyes off them.

"You're Rania, right? Alif's ex-wife?"

A mother approaches Rania, forgetting who she is. But he still smiled at her.

"Yes, ma'am" he answered.

"You are very different from when you were with Alif. Is this your future husband? You guys are so very compatible. Hope your relationship lasts, yes" said the mother.

"Amin, thank you for your prayers, ma'am. May God hear mother's prayer. We'll excuse you first" said Rangga.

The man took them away from the mother, while taking food again so that the mother did not feel offended. Rania follows where the man takes her.

"We just go there, which is a little quiet so as not to meet people who know you again" said Rangga.

"What's the matter, Rangga?" ask Rania.

"Alif was remarried, afraid his wife heard and did not like him. Just look at that woman's gaze towards you, as if to eat you up,"

Rangga's expression made Rania laugh.

Of course the man was jealous, he did not want to hear the story about Alif and Rania anymore because it would make his ears feel hot.

"Of course I'm jealous, aren't you two separated. So no one should bring up your old story anymore,"

Rania smiled hearing the honest answer from the man. She had no feelings for Alif at all, she came only to appreciate his invitation because after all she was the mother of the children of Alif.

"After this we go home, yes" asked Rania.

"Why? Does your heart ache to see your ex-husband with another woman?" ask Rangga.

"Do I look like that, Rangga? I no longer have feelings for her, if anything I can't possibly claim a divorce" replied Rania firmly.

After their food runs out, they say goodbye to Rania's ex-husband's family.

"Thank you very much Rangga, for accompanying us to the party" said Rania when they arrived.

"Together, I will accompany you wherever you ask," replied Rangga.

"Yes Om, sometime we vacation again, Om" said Alisa.

"Byeah, how about the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Sunday, so Om has a lot of time" said Rangga.

"Yes Om, would. Can you please, ma'am?"

"Yes, now Alisa rest first yes,"

"Ready, Boss,"

Alisa's funny behavior makes them both laugh.

"I'll make you a drink, what do you want?" ask Rania.

"Anything,"

Rania immediately went to the kitchen, she returned with two glasses of warm tea in her hands.

"I did not expect yes Nia, as soon as Alif married again," said Rangga.

"Yes maybe he's steady, so what's in delay again,"

They were silent for a moment.

"So your heart hasn't been fixed on me?"

"I'm afraid of disappointing you Rangga, I'm also afraid of disappointing my children,"

Rania was downcast, failure made her think about anything at the moment. He could not foresee the future, he was afraid that the future life would not be as beautiful as he had imagined.

"I know I'm not the perfect guy, but I promise I'll give you the best I can. I don't promise the world, either, but I will always try to make you all happy,"

Rangga's words are sincere because they come from the bottom of his heart. His feelings are not playful, even he faithfully gave his heart to a Rania. Decades he sought, finally fate still bring them together despite different circumstances.

"Actually I also feel sorry for the children, they desperately need a father figure to protect them. If you're serious, prove your point so that my heart can live it all out with you,"

Rangga smiled, he did not expect that this woman had already given him the green light to go even further with him.
