I Can Be Happy Without You, Mom

Chapter 97 Mysterious Package

Two days later.

"Mom, this is a package. He said a gift for Mom and Dad,"

Security carries a pretty big package.

"Who are you, sir?" ask Rania.

"So he said it was just a messenger, his vehicle broke down so he asked for help from the man who delivered earlier,"

"Oh, yes please put it inside," Rania's pinta.

"Good, Mom,"

Security put the package near the stairs to the second floor just like Rania ordered.

"From whom is there no identity of the sender? Is it possible that Mas Rangga wants to surprise you?"

Rania wondered. He was very curious, but was afraid to open it alone because according to security info earlier it was a gift for him and Rangga.

"Let it be here first, wait for Mas Rangga to come and open it,"

Rania is busy returning to accompany Naya.

"Rangga, forgive what happened the other day. I didn't expect Michelle to be that determined" Jeremy said.

"I also did not expect him to do that, I think he had forgotten about me and found another man all along" Rangga replied.

"I guess so too. We also never met before, because he just disappeared. Just this month she called me and asked about yourself. He invites us to congratulate you on the marriage and also the birth of your son,"

"So this was all his idea?"

"Yes, we didn't know anything about you. He told us all and took us to your house,"

"Yes, forget it. Don't ever ask her again if you want to play at home, yeah,"

"Ok Rangga, all right,"

Call completed.

Rangga did not expect that all of this was Michelle's idea. Means all this time the woman's been finding out about her life. Then what does it mean to come into his life again after so long no news?

"What the hell does he want? He still imposes the will as he used to,"

Rangga was still wondering what Michelle really wanted. If she still loves him why is he present again when he is married, why not before?

At Laila's parents' house there was a commotion. After a few days of calm, it turns out that Laila's former in-laws came back with more people. They intimidated Laila's parents. Even helpful neighbors could do nothing as they threatened to report to the police if they interfered. The law-blind citizens became fearful and helpless. They can only watch.

"Don't bring my granddaughter, I beg you not to take Akila," said Asih.

"Grandmother, grandma.I don't want to come, huaaa,"

Akila cried but her father's parents took her into the car. They took Akila away from there.

Ms. Asih kept crying. She raised Akila since her father died, and loved her granddaughter more than Laila. Her heart was deeply saddened to lose Akila. Her husband and several residents tried to calm her down.

"Sir, call Laila. I don't want Akila to stay with them" Asih said in between tears.

"Yes, Mom,"

Mr. Thunder immediately picked up his phone, then contacted Laila. It turned out that Laila was quickly answering her phone.

Mr. Thunder then told me what had just happened while occasionally wiping the tears that came down from the corner of his eyes that had been wrinkled at eating age.

"God, why are they so. I'll get help, sir, please tell mom I'll bring Akila back, please,"

Laila immediately ended the call. He immediately left the house to his father-in-law. He no longer cared about his father-in-law. There's something more important he has to do.

A few moments later.

"Mom, there's Laila's mom in the living room" said the mom.

"Laila? Yes, Ma'am, please take care of Naya first yes afraid of waking up,"

"Hey Laila, how is the tumben alone?"

Laila got up to him, and hugged him. The woman was crying in Rania's arms. Rania was confused, but she rubbed the woman's back to be calmer.

"Calm down, Laila, tell me slowly. You why?"

After they were calm, they sat on the sofa. Then came Laila's story about Akila who had just been taken by force by her former in-laws.

"For so long they never cared about him, I gave him a living. But suddenly they just took it. Actually I want to take him to live with me, but Mbak knows how his mother's attitude mas Alif. I didn't want her to be humiliated like me, so I let her stay with my parents until now,"

"So Mas Alif's mother also insulted you?" ask Rania.

Laila nodded.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to complain. I just want the best for Akila,"

Laila came back crying, Rania was concerned about her.

"Mas Rangga must be helping you, I'll call him first, yes,"

"Thank you Ma'am, sorry I've been a hassle,"

"It's okay Laila, we're happy to be able to help others,"

Rania then calls her husband, telling him about Laila's problems. After a long chat, Rania spoke with Laila.

"Mas Rangga will come with some of his men in a moment. Your ex-in-law's place of residence still remains, right? Do you remember?"

"Remember me. Thanks again for helping me,"

Laila held Rania's hand.

"Yes alike. You take it easy, Mas Rangga said you must win. You must not have eaten yes, let's eat first. I'm often hungry because I breastfeed Naya,"

Rania tries to distract Laila so that she is no longer sad. They look very familiar eating together. It's only 09:30 but Rania has eaten twice. Breastfeeding makes her hungry often. After eating they intended to go to the second floor, but Laila's steps stopped seeing the package that the security had brought.

"Sir, what is so big?"

Laila pointed towards the package.

"Oh that's a package, he said a gift for me and Mas Rangga. Let's help me open up, wonder what it is, too,"

Rania took the scissors in the drawer.

"But Ma'am, I don't feel good about being afraid of privacy. It's a gift for you" said Laila.

"It's okay, we're both married. What else do we not know,"

Both giggle. They started opening the package. It turns out that the contents are layered so that it makes them rather difficult to get to the contents.

"Oh, what an intention to send this Ma'am. Tired of opening, hehe.."

"Yes, Laila, the more curious the contents,"

Oek.. oek...

The sound of Naya's cry was very loud.

"Laila you just open it, if tired of rest first. I want to see Baya for a second" said Rania.

"Is it really okay for me to open, ma'am?" ask Laila doubtfully.

"Yes, it's okay Laila. Just relax, I'll stay,"

Rania went upstairs. Naya wakes up thirsty.

"Den Naya seems thirsty, ma'am," said the mother.

"Yes, let me go first. Ma'am please accompany Laila downstairs, pity her alone,"

"Good, Mom,"

Rania immediately breastfed her impatient son. Indulgedly by the hundred when Rania gave her breasts.

"Abkkhh..."

There was a long shout from the lower floor that made Rania surprised.
