My father's charm
Chapter 10 - Calling Rani

After returning from the workshop Alka went to the food vendor next to the laundry place. Mama Lilis and Varrel loved her cooking.

Arriving there, Alka parked her motorbike and ordered a food menu for her family.

Shireen who was in her stall smiled saying, "Good afternoon, what message would you like?"

Alka seemed surprised if the woman he accidentally hit her car worked there. Then reply with a smile as well. "I order duck egg curry, capcay and tempeh stew for a three-person portion."

"All right, I'll make it," Shireen again threw her smile.

The woman prepared the order that Alka had requested.

"How much is everything?"

"Fourty-five thousand, ma'am."

Alka handed the blue note to Shireen.

The woman took it and gave it back. "Thank you" he said with a smile.

"Sama-sama," Alka slightly moved her head.

"Mom, there's a call from Mr. Ratih" said one of the shop employees.

"I'll call him again" Shireen said.

The officer also passed.

Alka also rushed away.

Shireen who turned her eyes on Alka returned to chat however the man had passed.

Alka arrived home at 5pm, Sean laughed cheerfully at meeting his father.

Alka put the food she bought on the table. "We're eating together 'yes, Ma!" bring him.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Grandma just sleep here, huh?" please Raline.

"Who will take care of Grandma's house?" lilis asked her granddaughter.

"Let Aunt Lisa take care" Raline replied.

"Just sleep here" Pinta Alka.

"Alright, Mama will sleep here. But, Mama wants to take clothes first," he said.

"Yes, Ma."

"Hore, Grandma sleeps here!" Raline shouted cheerfully.

Dinner arrived, the four gathered at the same table to enjoy the dishes served.

"Ma, it turns out the owner of this stall. The woman I hit the car with" Alka said.

"really?"

"Yes, Ma. I know because he bought it, he served it" replied Alka.

"I don't think, yeah. But she's really good cooking, she's beautiful again" said Lilis.

Alka just smiled at him.

"Is he married?" ask Alka.

"Mama doesn't know either, just guessing. Yes, even if she gets married, it's lucky for her husband" Lilis said.

"Oh."

"Rani when to go home?" ask Lilis.

"Not yet, Ma."

"You didn't call him?"

Alka shook her head.

"You should call him, Alka. What if something happens to him? You're not afraid that your wife betrayed you."

"Don't say that, Ma. I believe and believe that Rani is a faithful wife" Alka said.

"Hopefully," said Lilis. "Your stepmom was also once a wife but betrayed her husband and took your papa away from us" she continued.

"Don't let that happen, Mama just pray for the good of our family" said Alka.

Lilis nodded.

Ahead of sleep, Alka contacted his wife because they had not given each other 2 days.

Alka up to 2 times tried to call his wife but not yet answered.

Finally the third time, Rani just picked up the phone from Alka.

"Hello, Mum!" greet the woman from a distance.

"Hello, Rani. You how are you?"

"Good, Mas."

"Why not tell me? The children miss you" said Alka.

"I was on the beach, Mom. Tell them his mother is home in five days" Rani said.

"Why so long, Rani? It was more than a week," Alka said.

"Mas, I want to travel around this city with my friends to be here" said Rani.

"Yes, stop. It's up to you!" Alka hung up.

Meanwhile Rani looks surprised when her husband hangs up his phone.

"Your husband, huh?"

Rani looked towards the voice. "Yes, he asked me when I was coming home."

"What do you answer?"

"I said five more days."

"Good," the man rubbed Rani's cheeks with his fingers.

Rani smiled too.
