I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 82 Four Monthly Events

Next day.

"grandmother..."

Alisa ran towards her grandmother who just got out of the car.

"Alisa, honey,"

The two embrace each other. Then the Stars and Rania too. After greeting her parents, Rania brought them in.

"Subhanallah, your house is huge. In it like in the movie rich man on tv, son," praise his father.

"Yes sir, I think it's just big it turns out to be very luxurious" said his mother.

Both of them were very amazed, only this time they set foot into a house as big and luxurious as this.

"Alhamdulillah Sir, Mom. Mas Rangga gave us more than enough home, and most importantly we all feel happy living here with him" Rania replied.

"Alhamdulillah, my mother was happy too. After years of suffering, now you are happy to have the right partner. May you endure until death do you part,"

"Amen,"

Rania then invites her parents to eat first before they rest. Both of them really did not expect his daughter to get a very rich man, because all this time Rangga never showed off. His nature also looks ordinary, so they think he is an established man who is just enough. But it turns out to be more than that.

"Oh, very nice room, son. Aren't you wrong to let us sleep in this room?" ask Arum.

"No, Mom and Dad sleep here. All the rooms in this house are about the same average, all this way,"

Ms. Arum looked around the room. He was still amazed.This room was one-third of his house in the village. His mattress, lights, and everything so beautiful and neatly arranged makes him a pity to occupy it.

"Mother and Father rest first, we will talk again. If you want anything if I'm not around, I'm asking you to help me, yeah,"

Rania left her parents to rest. They must be tired after a long trip.

Her night.

"Mom..."

Alisa hugged the oma and her opa that had just come. They will stay because tomorrow there will be a four-month salutation of their grandchildren.

"Mama and Papa immediately rest first yes, very tired. It was from the office directly here," said Bu Rahmi.

"Geez Ma, you should just rest. It's just a four-monthly event. More importantly the health of Mama and Papa, the important thing is your prayer, it is enough" said Rania.

"Can't be so darling, this is the granddaughter that we're so looking forward to so we have to attend" replied Rahmi while complaining about her daughter-in-law's stomach.

After experiencing the besan they went straight to the room to rest.

☆☆☆

The Alif residence.

Today, Alif is officially divorced from Desi. The court has granted her divorce. He plans to marry Laila soon. He was determined to build a household with the woman. According to him, Laila is a woman who deserves to be with him.

Although his nature is very similar to his ex-wife Rania, honestly he sincerely loves her. The seeds of love in her heart began to flourish within a few months of knowing her. He was determined to get it no matter how hard he had to do.

"Well, I want to marry Laila soon. Can we meet his parents soon to talk about this?"

Alif really hopes his father agrees with his wishes.

Alif glued, his father's words did have a point. But his heart this time has been steady, different when it will be married to Desi at that time. Desi for him was just a runaway, he never loved her. But Laila, he sincerely loves her and wants to make her his life companion.

"But this is different Well, I really love Laila with what she is. Being with Desi, I never had feelings for her,"

Alif tried to be honest with his father, hoping he would understand and agree to it.

"It's up to you. If you're already established, I can't stand in the way. But father's message, don't be easy to divorce your wife. Make what your past failures an improvement to your future,"

They just kept talking about when it was the right time to come to Laila's parents. Even though his mother disagreed, Alif did not care. Even he firmly mengultimatum bu Yani to do good to Laila.

Next day.

The morning sun is shining very brightly. As bright as Rania and Rangga feel today. The presence of parents and in-laws is so happy for them. Today's dining table was full, they had breakfast happily.

Moments later, other relatives began to arrive. Tiara and her husband also came, as well as some of the Rangga family who lived in one city with her and the invitees had also arrived.

"Congratulations, Nia, I'm sorry I just got to visit again after your wedding. Understandably I can't drive, hahaha..."

Tiara came with her husband, they greeted everyone.

"Congratulations Nia, may the child and mother be healthy and smooth until delivery,"

"I'm sorry, Mom, I brought you. He wants to come,"

Nelly felt bad because her father forced her to attend the four-monthly event of her ex-daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, I'm glad you still care even though I'm not Dad's son-in-law anymore. Thank you, Dad,"

Rania hugged her former in-laws, all this time this man who often defended her even though sometimes lost by Bu Yani.

Everyone has arrived, the recitation and prayer will begin soon. The event went on solemnly. Many prayers are offered for the mother and her future baby.

"Mas Alif, what do you want to say?" ask Laila.

"I'm officially divorced, so we should get married soon. I've spoken to my father, he agrees whenever he wants to ask you to your parents" replied Alif.

"Oh yeah,"

Laila then fell silent, as if she was unhappy.

"Is that how you respond, Laila?"

"Then I have to respond how, Mom?"

The two looked at each other, their gazes meeting each other. Their hearts asked each other in silence. A few minutes they dissolve in silence.

"Don't you want me to be your companion? Just tell me the truth, Laila. Didn't we agree to defend the chest whatever our decision later,"

Honestly, Alif didn't want to ask. But he did not want to guess, he did not want to hope in falsehood. He wants certainty, though bitter it will be better than to live a relationship in coercion. He did not want Laila to accept him just out of pity.

"Laila, let's say your opinion" Alif said.

"I've been comfortable with you all along, Mom. There are many similarities between us. But sorry, I can't,"

Laila bowed sadly.
