I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 86 The Secret Revealed

Two weeks later.

Alif has been so intensely approaching Akila for the past two weeks. He took the little girl for a walk, either just to the park or a vacation to the bath. The girl was overjoyed, for a long time she had lost a father figure in her life. The presence of Alif treated his longing. He started to like Alif. He gave the green light to their relationship.

"So tomorrow we'll meet Laila's parents, Lif?" ask father.

"Yes, Akila has allowed me to be her father. The sooner I talk about marriage the better, I've steadily chosen Laila as the last one of my life" Alif replied.

"Alright, I'll talk to your mom later,"

"If you're not willing, let me be with you. I don't want you making a fuss over there,"

"Just calm down, I'll definitely advise your mother,"

"Oh.. stomach I really suddenly hurt, but only 5 months,"

Rania held onto her stomach which was painful, she grimaced. His breathing was a little tight, but minutes later the pain faded and then disappeared.

"Gosh, why did it hurt so much? Alisa and Bintang's pregnancy was never like this,"

Rania was confused by what had happened to her just now. She wanted to tell her husband but was afraid that he would worry her and interfere with her work. Moreover, her husband seems to be busy lately, sometimes even going home late at night.

"I'll tell you later, when he gets home,"

Rania tried to lie down, but her heart felt uneasy. I don't know what happened to make it that way. Maybe because she was pregnant, she made her emotions unstable.

"Why do I keep thinking about Mas Rangga?"

Rania rubbed the cheek of her sleeping son beside her. Her mind drifted to her husband, not usually she was this anxious.

"It looks like I have to go to his office, to make sure Mas Rangga is okay,"

Rania is getting ready. He changed into a neat outfit and slightly polished his face. Her growing stomach was actually increasingly emitting an aura of her beauty.

"Mbak, sign the stars. I'm going to my husband's office,"

"Good, Mom,"

Rania immediately asked the driver to drive her to Rangga's office.

☆☆☆

"Hello Anto, where are you?" ask Rangga.

"I'm in the office, it's handling a new case. Why why?"

"You know, now Dona's in my office. I don't want to keep this a secret anymore, I'll tell you everything,"

"Prophe Rangga first, you just bring him here. We're talking here, 'cause now I can't leave the office,"

"Well, I'll take him there now,"

Rangga disconnected the call, he returned to his study.

"Let's go," asked Rangga.

"Where are we going, Mas?" ask Dona happy.

"Later you know too" replied Rangga.

"I'll go first, please handle everything until I get back yeah,"

All eyes were on the two of them. Dona often suddenly appears in his office, making him feel uncomfortable even having to dodge secretly. His job is abandoned because of Dona. He often overtime to do it until late at night.

"I did not expect Mr. Rangga to be double, even though Rania's mother, even though the widow was perfect and also good," said one of his employees.

"But it seems that Mr. Rangga does not like the woman. The woman is just weird. Already know have a wife just on pepet course," said another.

Just as they were continuing their work, someone greeted them.

"Good morning everyone,"

Rania smiled so sweetly, she greeted everyone kindly. All the employees of Rangga were stunned to see his presence. Almost got her husband with another woman in this office. Everything became nervous, the atmosphere turned tense.

Anita, the woman he once envied, welcomed him kindly.

"Thank you, is Mr Rangga having a client?" ask Rania.

The employees looked at each other, they were confused as to what to answer. Be honest or have to lie so that their boss does not fight.

"What would you like to drink? Let me get it?" Anita tries to distract.

"No need to bother, I just want to meet my husband for a while Anita. My feeling was a little uncomfortable, I just wanted to make sure she was okay" Rania replied.

Anita felt guilty. How could he be willing to lie to someone as good as Rania who was so concerned about the situation of her boss.

"Follow me a minute, Mom. I have something to talk about,"

Anita takes Rania into her room. He told everything to the woman.

"Well, this is Mas Anto's office? What are we here for, Mas?" ask Dona.

"Just go in, you'll know, too,"

Rangga went in first followed Dona behind him.

"Have you guys come, let's sit down,"

Wanto invited them, he took them to drink to be more relaxed.

"What exactly are we here for?"

Dona looked at Rangga full of question marks. But the man was silent.

"Mas Anto, what's going on? Is there anything you're keeping from me?"

Dona looked at her brother. The man breathed out violently.

"Didn't you remember what happened to you a while ago?" Anto looked back into Dona's eyes.

"Please don't ask that question again, I can already forget about it. We must appreciate Mas Rangga who has managed to eliminate my trauma," replied Dona.

"So you remember if Rangga helped you out of depression?"

"What kind of question is that, of course I remember,"

Dona's starting to look upset.

"The ladder just wants to help you, not more Dona. So don't get me wrong with her concern for you all along,"

"What do you mean Anto? To the point, Mas, don't be so convoluted,"

"You know, if Rangga is an advocate. All this time he always helps people who are depressed like yourself. I can't bear to see you like that, even a psychiatrist had suggested taking you to a mental institution back then. That's why I asked Rangga to help you out of the trauma,"

"Then what's the problem. Mas Rangga can accept all my shortcomings. He didn't stay away from me even though he knew I wasn't perfect,"

Dona did not understand yet, or rather she refused to understand.

"You misunderstood Dona, I was just helping you. I have no more feelings for you" said Rangga.

Anti was too long-winded when explaining, it made Rangga impatient and made his point clear. He saw that Dona was completely healed so that they could be honest now.

"Is Rangga serious? Is it because I'm not perfect that I don't like me?"

Dona looked sad, the corner of her eyes started to give off a clear liquid.

"It's not like that, but I can't possibly like you,"

Rangga wanted to explain, but was unable to make the woman hurt.

"Why then, Mom?" Dona was getting impatient.

"Because Rangga already has a wife and son Dona," said Anto.

Like a lightning strike in broad daylight, Anto's explanation made Dona so shaken. His body went limp until he fell on the floor. He could not believe what he had just heard.
