A few days later.
"So where's your wedding preparations going, Lif?" ask father.
"We decided there wasn't a party, Dad. Only ordinary salvation, which is important is valid in event and law," replied Alif.
"Did Laila mind?"
"It's exactly his wish Well, he doesn't want to incriminate me. He thinks it's better to have his money in the canister for after marriage than for an overnight party,"
"It seems like she is indeed a good girl, like Rania. I hope you guys are fooling your grandparents,"
"Yes Well, amen,"
"But Lif..."
His father was silent, not continuing his words.
"But why, Dad?" ask Alif.
"It's okay,"
His father averted his eyes, he did not dare to look at his son for fear of being discovered if he was hiding something.
"Don't lie, I know you're keeping something a secret. Let's just say, isn't honesty better even bitter,"
The man seemed to think, hesitating to say it.
"Actually your mother doesn't like you with Laila. I'm just afraid he'll interrupt your marriage later. You know for yourself what he did to Rania first,"
Finally his father told him what was in his mind.
"I'm not gonna let that happen, Dad. Enough I lost Rania and my two children, I won't let you do it again. Laila is a good woman, why should you not like her? What exactly does mom want? Do you want to make me suffer?"
Many question marks in her heart, why does Miss Nani always hurt the people she loves? But until now he did not know the exact answer.
"I must have always supported you, only sometimes I was helpless against your mother. What's important now is that you can be tough on your mother,"
The two continue to discuss the issue of Alif's 3rd marriage. They don't know if Ms. Nani stole what they're talking about.

"How's Dona doing, Mom?" ask Rania.
"I've never been there, but Anto said it has started to improve" replied Rania.
"Thank God, I always prayed for her recovery. Pity his mother who always expected his recovery,"
"Yes, you're right, honey. But we better not interfere too much anymore. I don't want to until something like that happens to our family again,"
They both hugged. The trouble with Dona the other day made their love even stronger.
"Mas, yesterday Mas Alif sent me a message. He's inviting us all to his wedding in a few days, are we coming?" ask Rania.
"Oh yeah, is she getting married again?"
Rania nodded.
"Of course honey, we and the kids are going there. But very quickly yes, I just don't know if he's divorced again with his second wife,"
Rania actually knew about the problems that befell her ex-husband, because Nelly often told her. But she never told Rangga for fear that her husband misunderstood her. Moreover, he no longer wanted to interfere in the man's affairs anymore. He just wanted to appreciate Nelly telling him the story, so he listened.

A few days later.
Today is Alif and Laila's wedding. The event is simple and only invites close family. Although this is his third marriage, Alif looks very nervous.
All the invited guests have been present, pak Penghulu has also been ready to marry them. Of all those present, only Bu Nani's face looked unhappy. While the two children Alif look ordinary.
I married and I marry you Ananda Alif Darmawangsa Bin Agus Supriyanto with my son named Laila Mirnasari with his bride in the form of a set of prayer tools, cash worth two hundred and fifty thousand rupiah, and a jewelry ring weighing 2 grams is paid in cash,"
With a very firm voice Laila's father began to shake Alif's hand to start kabul ijab.
With a little nervous but smoothly Alif managed to do kabul ijab in one breath.
"How are the witnesses, is it legal?"
"Well..."
The moment that Alif was waiting for finally came, he was very happy to have succeeded in making Laila his wife. His two children hugged and congratulated him and Laila.
"May you be as happy as we are" said Laila.
"Thank you dear for your sincere prayers. You and the Star are still father's children, now you're brothers with Akila. And you have a new mother, her name is Laila's mother,"
Both of them smiled in response to his father's words. Their parents and relatives began congratulating the newlyweds, including Rania and Rangga.
"Congratulations, may you always be happy" said Rania sincerely.
"Amin, thank you Nia. Thank you also Mr. Rangga, you have come and brought the children here. Thank you for the prayers and gifts you gave me, too,"
Alif hopes that her domestic life with Laila will always be harmonious as is the case with the marriage of Rangga and Rania who look very happy.
"Darling, can we just go home?" ask Rangga.
"What's the matter, Mom?" rania was confused.
"I'm sorry to see you're so heavy carrying our son,"
Rania laughed at her husband's funny-sounding answer.
"This is the third time I'm pregnant, I'm used to it. Don't worry too much, yeah,"
"Are you sure, honey?" Rangga still felt worried.
"Yes, let's just sit there," Rania asked.
Actually, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable since then, but he felt bad to leave while the event was still going on.
"You just sit down, let the kids here play with Akila" Alif said.
Rangga brought his wife to sit, he could not bear to see the condition of his wife.
Just a moment sitting down, Rania felt her stomach contract.
"Akhs..."
She clutched her husband's hand which was right next to her.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" ask Rangga.
He panicked to see his wife's facial water that seemed to withstand the pain.
"It's okay, Mum,"
But the pain suddenly disappeared. Rania was relieved. But a few minutes later he felt another contraction in his stomach and this was longer.
"Akhs... Mas Rangga, my stomach hurts so much,"
"Gosh, why are you? We better get to the hospital,"
Rangga immediately carried his wife's body, he did not care about the gaze of people around.
"Sir Alif put the children first, I have to take Rania to the hospital," said Rangga.
He hurried away from there, while the crying Star called out to his mother.
"Mom why, Dad?" ask Alisa.
"Dad doesn't know, it looks like your mother is in pain. You guys are here first yes, then let me take you to see mom after the show is over,"
Alisa just nodded even though she felt very worried about her mother's condition.
