My father's charm
Chapter 32 - Rani Jealous of Shireen

Shireen invites Varrel to school, after which they enjoy eating meatballs together at a stall not far from Alka's house.

"Aante!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why isn't Aunt married to dad?"

Shireen stopped her mouthful.

"Did Auntie not like you?"

Shireen smiled, "Married or not, Auntie still loves you!"

"Tante always has time for us" he said.

"It just so happens that Auntie is not too busy so she can have time for you" Shireen explained.

"Tante, don't ever leave us, yeah!" her door.

Shireen nodded.

After eating meatballs, the two stopped at the minimarket. Varrel bought some ready-to-drink box milk, snacks and 2 chocolate bars.

Shireen paid for the groceries.

As he was about to start the engine, a woman approached him.

"Gram!" ogre.

The boy stared and approached and hugged her, "Mother!" her tears are dripping.

Rani holds Varrel's face and kisses her son's head repeatedly.

"Mom, I miss you!" he said with tears pouring down.

"Mother too, Son!" Rani could not help the crystals that fell on her cheeks.

Shireen stood up, her eyes glazed over the meeting of the mother and child.

"Let's go home. Raline and Sean must be happy to see Mom," Varrel said.

"Mom can't, son."

"Why?"

"Mom has to go back to the office" she answered lying. "It's money for you and your sisters!" Rani grabs Varrel's palm and puts down 5 pieces of red money.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Mom should go, take care of yourself. I love you so much, Raline and Sean!" He kissed his son's cheek and hugged for a moment.

"Mom!"

"See you soon!" Rani waved her hand then walked towards her car occasionally wiping her tears.

Varrel looked at the car his mother was driving.

Shireen held onto Varrel's shoulder, "Let's go home!"

"I still want to see mom, Auntie," he said softly.

"Your mother's gone, let's go home!" bring him.

In the afternoon, when Alka came home from the workshop. Raline and Varrel approach her.

"Dad I met my mother" Varrel said.

Alka just remained silent.

"Mom gave me money too!" varrel said again.

"Dad, why shut up?" ask Raline.

"Dad's so tired today, can you take a shower?" ask her two children.

"Yes, Dad!" answer his two children simultaneously.

Alka went to take a bath, after which she asked Mama Lilis. "Is it true that Varrel met Rani, Ma?"

"Yes, said Shireen they met in front of the minimarket. Rani also gave the pocket money," explained Lilis.

"Where has he been all this time?" his weakness.

"Rani didn't tell me why" she replied.

Alka smiling smirk.

"You weren't expecting Rani anymore, were you?"

Alka did not answer immediately.

"Mama doesn't want you to go back to her" Lilis said.

"Ma, Rani is now married. I got a picture of her wedding from Sister Rina" explained Alka.

"They don't have a heart, what does it mean to send Rani a wedding photo?"

"Maybe they don't want me to wish him any more."

"Mama also does not agree you return to Rani who dares to cheat and waste her children!"

"Yes, Ma. I don't want to go back to him either."

"How about you just marry Shireen?"

"I don't like it, Ma."

"Why?"

"Auntie!"

Alka and Lilis immediately turned their heads, the faces of the mother and child seemed to change.

"Thank you, Shireen," said Lilis.

"Then I say goodbye, Bi." Shireen has passed.

"Alka, what if Shireen heard your conversation?" Lilis looked frightened because she did not want to hurt the woman.

"I don't know either, Ma." Alka felt guilty, surely Shireen had misunderstood.

Meanwhile, Shireen rode his motorcycle at moderate speed. He tried to hold back his tears from falling, "Why is it so painful to hear it?"

...----------------...

Three days later....

Shireen tried to forget Alka's words that didn't like her. He should be self-conscious and not expect more from his widow Rani.

This afternoon he came because of Varrel's seventh birthday.

Shireen brought a birthday cake and a watercolor gift to paint because the boy loved to color.

Alka looked stiff when she met Shireen, because of the words she accidentally uttered.

"Varrel, happy birthday!" shireen.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Let's eat!" bring Lilis.

At the dinner table appeared Alka's younger sister and her husband. Lilis held her grandson who was under 1 year old.

Shireen ate as usual, but he reduced the intensity of the chatter with Alka.

An hour later, Lisa and her husband returned home.

Shireen wants to go home but is arrested by Varrel and Raline. Moreover Sean who screamed was crying in staying by her.

Once again joking, suddenly the gate opened. The whole house saw who the guests were.

Varrel shouted cheerfully when he saw someone present. "Mother!" she hugged him.

Raline simply looked at the woman and chose to hide behind Shireen's body.

Rani sees her daughter avoiding her.

"Why are you here again? Don't you want to meet the kids?" asked Alka with a sharp look.

Lilis brought her grandchildren into the room.

"I'm sorry, Mom!"

"It's too late, Rani!" said Alka cold.

"Mas, I want to make amends" said Rani.

"Six months you're gone, without ever knowing how your kids are. Now that we've forgotten you, you're here again."

"I'm sorry, Mas. Andri won't let me meet the kids" Rani gave an excuse.

"You better follow your husband's orders!"

"Mas, I can't. I'm a mother, my passion for them is huge, I want to bring one of them to live with me" Rani said

"I won't allow it!" saying strictly.

"Mas, they're my kids too!"

"Why did you admit it?"

"I told you Mas Andri was against me."

"Have known your husband forbid, why would you bring one of them?"

"I want to make amends, Mom."

"Go, we're happy now!" alka said firmly.

"Is it because this woman is preventing me from bringing children?" Rani pointed at Shireen's face.

"It has nothing to do with him!" reply Alka.

"Mas, he has captured my children's hearts!" pointed again.

"Why indeed? She will also be their mother" Alka said.

Shireen looked surprised by Alka's words, she turned to him.

"So, right. I have a relationship with this woman!" shireen's face was again pointed at Rani.

"You don't turn the facts around, Rani. You yourself are asking us to separate, why blame others?"

"Mas, if it wasn't for this woman. You will definitely defend me!"

"I divorce you because I'm tired of hearing complaints coming out of your mouth let alone saying that you love that man!" Alka emphasized her words.

Rani is unable to speak anymore, she put a gift on the guest table and then she left her ex-husband's house.

Alka exhaled violently, she sat down while kneeling her temple.

"Mas, looks like I should stay away from the kids. His mother was jealous of me for being close to them" Shireen said.

Alka stood up, "Shireen, enough!" his jolt.

Shireen.

"Don't add any more trouble, you understand!" Alka said in a high tone, she then went to her room.

Shireen's eyes glazed over hearing Alka say in a high tone.

Lilis exited the room followed by the children, Shireen was holding back her cries.

"Why you?" ask Lilis.

"It's okay, Bi." Shireen forced a smile.

"Are you sure, Shireen?"

"Yes, Bi. Then I'll say goodbye!" Shireen grabbed the bag and then passed.
