My father's charm
Chapter 40 - Interview With Prospective In-Lawers

Shireen who heard Rani's request only smiled.

"I'm serious Shireen, you can have Mas Alka but not with my children!" saying it firmly.

"From the request that Kak Rani uttered the same if Big Brother was still expecting Mas Alka," spoke casually and calmly.

Rani remained silent.

"Children are the heart of Mas Alka, it is impossible for them to be separated after what Kak Rani did to them" Shireen said.

"I did make a mistake to leave them and want to make up for everything" Rani said.

"Can Mas Alka and the children accept it?"

Rani was again confused.

"Sister Rani, I will not forbid children from meeting their biological mother. But, Mas Alka does it agree?"

"Surely he will agree, Mas Alka loves me very much. Maybe at that time he was just a momentary emotion," said Rani.

Shireen simply replied with a smile.

"Mas Alka wants to marry you so you can take care of our children" Rani said.

Shireen believes Alka is not like that.

"You are still young and can get a man who is more handsome than Mas Alka," said Rani.

"Yes, I can be even richer than your husband!"

Shireen's words made Rani even more cornered.

"I really love Mas Alka and the kids, so how much Kak Rani influences will not change this flavor!" emphasizing words.

Rani took a breath and her face looked flabbergasted, she could not reply to the words of her ex-husband's future wife.

Rani stood up without permission and then passed.

Shireen rested her body on the sofa, then exhaled. Rani's words almost make it sore but he believes that Alka is the best.

At 7 p.m., Alka came to Shireen's parents' house. They enjoyed having dinner together after which continued chatting in the living room.

"Whose name were you, I forgot?" ask Arman.

"Alka, Om."

"themurthing?"

"Alka Adhitya Sudiro."

"It's like my friend's son's name in college" Arman said.

Alka just smiled and nodded.

Ratih who was sitting next to her husband looked crisp.

"Are you serious about our daughter?" ask Arman.

"Yes, Om. I'm serious about Shireen" he replied.

"I agree Shireen with whoever she is happy with" Arman said.

"But Mama didn't, Pa!" sahut Ratih's.

Arman and Shireen turned their eyes to the middle-aged woman.

"Ma.." said Arman.

"Pa, Mama doesn't agree that our daughter is in a relationship with him. Yes, even though he is handsome like a favorite actor but Mama does not like it," said Ratih firmly.

Arman looked at Alka's face, "You're right, Ma. He's like the guys you and Shireen watch a lot."

Alka scratched her nape, "Why are they talking about celebrities, anyway? Don't they know I'm so nervous?"

"Then it's our blessing, Pa!" shireen Pinta.

"Can't, Shireen!" reject Ratih.

"Why, Ma?"

"He was a widower and had three children. You married her to take care of her children!" rahat replied.

"I don't intend to make Shireen my nanny, Auntie." Alka spoke up.

"Right now you're talking so, after staying in one house can you guarantee not to treat Shireen as a nanny?" Ratih continued to search for questions that made it difficult for Alka to answer.

"Trust, Aunt. I will treat Shireen as a wife" Alka said.

Shireen who heard him smiled.

"Ma, that's enough, yeah!" Arman stopped Ratih who was about to say again.

Ratih tilted his lips and threw out his face.

Alka was silent for a moment and looked at Shireen.

"Sorry, Alka. Om just want to know, so that the next thing does not happen again to our daughter," said Arman.

Alka was still.

"You must have treated your wife badly, that's why you split up" Ratih interrupted the conversation and accused her of.

"Ma, Mas Alka split up because his ex-wife cheated on him!" Shireen finally spoke up in defense of her lover.

"Is that right, Alka?" ask Arman.

Alka nodded.

"Maybe your wife cheated on you for some reason" Ratih accused her again.

"Ma, any problems in the household are not reciprocated by infidelity. It was wrong" said Arman.

Train is silent.

"When did your parents come to propose to our daughter?" ask Arman.

Ratih opened his eyes. "Pa, don't just ask to play lamar. Mama doesn't agree."

"Yes, why?" ask Arman.

"We don't know yet what he does" replied Ratih.

"Yes, then Papa will ask. What's your job?" Staring at Alka.

"I have my own workshop, Om."

"Do you have a home?" ask Ratih.

"Have, Aunt. But not this big, I hope Shireen is at home" he replied.

"What workshop?" ask me again.

"The bike shop and it has three employees, Auntie."

"There's more to ask, Ma?" Arman turned his eyes to his wife.

Ratih shook his head.

"Alka, Om agrees you're married to our daughter. Tell me if you want to propose," said Arman.

"Good, Om."

"Lad..." Ratih wants to protest.

"Ma, when else would you have an artist-like daughter-in-law?" chirps Arman.

Shireen just smelled a smile.

Finished talking to the Shireen family, Alka bailed home.

In the courtyard of Shireen's house spoke to Alka, "Mas, forgive what Mama said!"

Alka smiled, "It's okay, it's only natural that a mother asks like that let alone her daughter as beautiful as you!"

Shireen blushed in embarrassment, "Mas, could have praised him."

"It's true that if you're beautiful, Raline says it" Alka said.

Shireen's cheeks are getting blushing.

Alka's wearing her helmet. "It's night, go in and sleep. Don't watch the drama again!"

Shireen hit her lover's arm slowly.

Alka laughed a little.

"Mas, this morning Rani came to the catering."

"Would he see you?"

"He wants me to stay away from the kids."

"What right does he have to rule you?"

"She said she was entitled to children because she was her birth mother."

"But, I forbid him to take the children."

"Yes..."

"If you see her again, tell me right away!"

"Good, Mas."
