I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 7 Divorced Me

Oh, my God, that's the mouth of her mother-in-law. According to her status there is no word to insinuate anyone, but why her husband's mother was inflamed reading it. It is true said people, as good as one's attitude if the basis is not liked forever will be considered wrong. Rania was in the eyes of her mother-in-law.

Why did she approve of this marriage if she didn't like it? Rania feels tired to face the situation of her household. Difficult economic circumstances, a husband who does not give a living and can not be assertive, in addition to in-laws who like to signify, complete already his suffering.

[What mother mean? My status no insinuating anyone, why is mom angry? Do you think my life is hard to marry your son?]

[I was born into a poor family, but I have my pride. Never begging others to survive, if you do not like me, please ask your son to divorce me. All this time I have been silent because I respect my mother's position as my in-law, but mother has really gone too far. As long as I know Mas Alif only gave money 500 thousand a month for all purposes, have I ever complained to my mother? I worked hard to cover everything but my mother always accused me of spending my son's money. Please ask his son, my family never taught me to lie!]

Two messages immediately he sent, he wrote them with tears. All the pain that had been piling up he spilled all with language that was still very polite, yes his parents never taught him to swear for anything. If she can throw dirty words that she learned from her husband, Alif often issued dirty words and cursed when angry.

As she wept lamenting her way of life, her phone rang. It turned out that her husband was contacting. Rania immediately picked up after successfully neutralizing her feelings.

"Nia, are you complaining to my mother? How dare you tell your husband disgrace? What exactly do you want?"

Not saying anything, Alif had already shouted at his wife.

'What else is this, unfinished one has already appeared another problem' Inner Rania.

"Why are you silent, replied the woman d*ngu!" alif Hardik.

Rania's heart ached, not because her husband called her d*ngu but because he always blamed Rania for her mistake or her mother-in-law. He is like a man who never had a point.

"What did your mother complain to you, Mas? Try to see his wa status and try to see my wa status, I never reply even though he always insulted me. He always accuses me of spending your money, when how much money you give, you know for yourself. Even eating everyday is not enough, but you never defend me as if justifying his words. I'm tired Mas, 11 years I sacrificed to not take care of my appearance, have you and your mother ever appreciated me? Now it's up to you, I'm willing that if you divorce right now, it's the same way I fought for our family myself, anyway,"

Enough has been patience Rania all this time, for years only considered as garbage. His heart flowed along with the torrent of tears that poured down his cheeks. Not all the strings he said, because it was all for nothing. Talking to her husband is like talking to the wall, do not expect to get a reply especially as expected. A very impossible thing. He just wanted Alif to realize that he had not expected anything from their current marriage.

Alif hung up the phone just like that, so her husband who always avoids problems and miraculously later he will come as if nothing ever happened. That's how it was all along.

"Mom... Why are you crying? Is it because of my dad or grandma again?" ask Alisa who just came.

Rania immediately erased the trace of her sadness, feelingfully she kissed the eyebrows of her two children. Can he raise them alone without the presence of a father figure? Doubts begin to fill the recesses of Rania's heart.

"It's okay, honey. I was watching a sad soap opera that was so sad that it was carried away," answered Rania lying.

"Ah Mom is there. I don't worry, no matter what happens Alisa will always be with Mom" said Alisa sincerely, as if understanding her anxiety.

Rania was deeply moved to hear her daughter's words, not expecting the 10-year-old to be able to give her spirit. Maybe all this time he understood what happened, but never asked.

☆☆☆

At night, 20:00.

"Assynolt,"

Alif gave a gentle greeting, as if nothing had happened before. The fed up Rania did not answer.

"Waalaikum greetings, Daddy's coming home," cried Alisa.

"Dad, Father," said the Star as she hugged her father.

God, when his heart was really steady to end all this relationship why exactly his two children look so dear to his father. Moreover, Bintang, had always refused if approached by him, but now instead embraced his father with a happy feeling.

'What game do you want to show in my life O Allah, Who is the One who turns back the heart of man?' Rania could only ask inwardly.

"Darling, if it's done all go to bed soon huh. Mother will accompany Star, it seems she has already started to get sleepy,"

"Yes, Mom. Just a little more then it'll be done,"

Rania enters the room, deliberately avoiding her husband. If usually she will ask if her husband wants to eat or drink coffee, this time she really has no intention even just say hello to him it feels lazy. She no longer cared about sin, nor did her husband ever care about her feelings.

"Sir, are you still mad at me?" ask Alif gently.

Both of their children were asleep, the night was getting late, the atmosphere was so quiet that only the sound of crickets that came out of nowhere. Rania did not say, pretending to close her eyes even though she did not really sleep.

"I know you haven't slept, I beg you to forgive me,"

Alif approached his wife, the man hugged her but as fast as lightning Rania brushed him aside. Alif begins to kiss the nape of his wife's neck but Rania soon gets up and moves away from him.

"I beg you to forgive me, forgive my mother. I love you so much, Nia," Rayu Alif.

With anger Nia rose, in her manic face her husband seemed to want to shower her.

"Dear you said Mas? Where were you when your mother trampled on my self-esteem? Where were you when he humiliated me in front of the crowd?" shout Rania.

"I'm sorry that I'm powerless, we better give up on Nia. We'll still be wrong if we fight with our parents. I don't want to be an ungodly child, please understand my position, Nia,"

Rania let out a long sigh, she had tears coming down at the corner of her sleeve. With a flat gaze but full of pain in his face with clinging to the man who had said a sacred promise before the ruler on his behalf.

"Perse me, Mas,"
