My father's charm
Chapter 41 - Refusing Rani's Request

Rani comes to Alka's workshop because if she meets her ex-husband at home she will surely hear the words of a heart-piercing clash.

"Mas, there's Rani's sister," Derry told her.

"Would she want to come here?"

"No idea, Mom."

"Send here!"

"Good, Mas!" Derry called Rani.

Rani comes to him with a sweet smile.

"What do you need here?" ask Alka ketus.

"I want us to talk about the kids, Mas."

"Why with the kids?"

"I don't like it, the woman took their heart and I want her to stay away from her" replied Rani.

"I don't think you need to talk about children who have chosen their happiness" Alka said.

"Mas, I want to meet the kids, play, joke and vacation with them!"

"Why do you want that now?" tanya Alka remained soft.

"I'm sorry, Mas. I'm sorry" replied Rani.

"Well, tomorrow morning Varrel will be on an excursion to the zoo with his schoolmates. Are you willing to accompany him?"

"Tomorrow I work, Mommy."

"Yes, then you can't meet them."

"Mas, if it's a work holiday I can accompany him," said Rani.

"But, the school held on an ordinary day" said Alka.

"Mas, how about we go swimming this weekend?"

"I can't, I'm so busy!"

"Mas, you can take Shireen with us" he said.

"Stay no," said Alka.

"How about we go to the night market?"

"Well, I'll take Shireen."

Rani smiled happily.

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

Today Shireen accompanies Varrel to school due to being asked by his lover.

Shireen does it with pleasure, especially she will go for a walk with prospective children.

Siska sees Shireen accompanying Varrel looking dislike, she wishes Alka had come.

"Again, Varrel!" Siska smiled so warmly.

"Morning, Mom!" Shireen returned his greeting.

"Why isn't Mr Alka accompanying him?" ask Siska.

"Varrel was busy so I was the one he told me to" Shireen replied.

Varrel ran over to his friends.

"Actually you are Mr. Alka's future wife or just the nanny of his children?" ask Siska.

Shireen smiled and replied, "Whatever other people think of me, Mas Alka still chose me as his future wife who will accompany him."

Siska who heard Shireen's reply looked annoyed.

"Oh, yes, Master. Which bus, huh?" melt the resentment of Siska.

"The red one is a bus for Varrel's class" Siska replied.

"Thank you, Master!" shireen then looked for Varrel and took him on a bus.

At 8 o'clock in 15 minutes, the bus left the school. Shireen and Varrel are next to each other. The boy sat by the window and stared at the street.

"Tante, it would be more exciting if we went with Dad, Raline, Sean, Grandma, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Aldy and Bella" he said.

"Sometimes we'll go together" Shireen said.

"Gaziness!" Varrel smiled cheerfully.

Shireen replied to him with a smile as well.

Once there, Shireen did not release his grip from Varrel's hands even though the boy was 7 years old but still under his supervision.

"Tante, I want to go there!" pointing towards his friends.

"Don't go far, Varrel!"

"Yes, Auntie!" Varrel ran to his friend.

Shireen followed Varrel's footsteps. Siska was always next to the woman.

"When are you getting married?"

"Quickly."

"Are you sure you're going to marry Mr Alka?"

Shireen stopped and looked at Siska. "You want to influence me as well to refuse to marry Mas Alka?"

Siska was unable to answer.

Because the interlocutor could not answer, Shireen finally went after Varrel whose curiosity was very large with various animals in this garden.

At 3pm, Shireen and Varrel arrived home. Alka had also come home because she had picked up her lover this morning.

"Dad wants to take Aunt Iren home first, yeah!"

His three hearts nodded.

Shireen said goodbye to Lilis and her three lovers.

On the way home, Alka took Shireen to a meatball stall.

The two sat facing each other with 2 bowls of meatballs on the table.

"It looks like Ms. Siska likes Mas Alka" Shireen said.

Alka looked at her lover's face and then smiled faintly.

"Mas, I'm serious!" putting on a manyun face.

"Yes, I know you're serious." Alka smiled very sweetly.

"Means Mas Alka knows if Ms Siska likes it?"

"I know from you too" replied Alka.

"During there always asked me why I chose you and others to upset me!" his weakness.

"Now you're still upset?"

Shireen shook her head.

"Then don't be upset keep smiling" Pinta Alka.

Shireen nodded.

"Tomorrow Saturday night, you're not going anywhere, are you?"

"No, Mas."

"Tomorrow we'll go to the night market with the kids, you want to?"

"You, Mas." Shireen is so excited.

"But, with Rani."

Shireen's face changed.

"You take it easy, I won't change my heart" Alka said.

"What about the kids, Mom? I'm afraid they'll stay away from me and prevent me from approaching you too" he said.

"No, Shireen."

Shireen lowered her face.

Shireen forced a smile.

"You're done eating, it's late in the afternoon. I'm afraid that your mama is asking me questions" Alka said.

"Here you go, my mom."

"Let's go home!" bring him.

They continued on to Shireen's house.

Once until Alka has been welcomed to the face of her future mother-in-law.

"Why did you just get home at this hour?" ask Ratih.

"So stop eating meatballs, Ma."

"Yes already, you go in there," he told his daughter. Then Ratih turned to Alka, "What are you doing here? Go home!"

"Yes, Aunt." Alka barks Ratih's hand. "I'm going home, Auntie!" his permission.

"Yes" he said.

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

The next night, Rani comes to pick up her children by car. He seemed enthusiastic about meeting his three children.

The six of them head to the night market in a car, Alka takes over the drive and Rani sits next to her ex-husband while holding Sean.

The toddler continued to whine asking Shireen who was sitting in the passenger seat to hold her.

Rani was forced to hand over her youngest son to the future mother continued her children.

"You want to sit down with Auntie?" Shireen looked at Sean's face.

The toddler replied with a nod of his head.

"All right, then. You stay with Aunt" Shireen held her in love.

On the way, Rani says, "If we were like this, we would be happy 'yes, Mas." Glancing at her ex-husband.

Alka did not answer and her face looked flat

"Did he mean what he was trying to talk like that?" inner Shireen was upset.

"Mas, I want to take the kids for a walk to Bali. Are you allowing it?"

"No" answered Alka.

"You can come along" said Rani.

"No, just keep that money!" alka said without staring.

Varrel and Raline who were sitting in the passenger seat with Shireen were not too enthusiastic when they heard his mother wanted to take them to the Island of the Gods.

Rani looks back at her two children, "You want to go with Mom to Bali?"

"No!" answer Varrel.

"Why?"

"We'd like to go with Aunt Iren!" Raline also answered.

"The ticket is enough for us, baby," said Rani.

"In that case, we won't!" sahut Varrel's.

Rani was so disappointed to hear the rejection of her children.

Once at the night market, Raline and Varrel enjoy the rides while Sean is carried by Alka while watching his two brothers play.

Rani pulled Shireen's arm slightly away from Alka.

Shireen lowered Rani's hand from her arm.

"It is you who have influenced my children!" rani tuding.

Shireen smiled. "I'm really great, aren't I?"

"I'll tell Mas Alka if you don't sincerely love our children" he threatened.

"Please, sincerely or not to say enough is felt," Shireen said casually.

The two stopped as Raline ran up to them and hugged Shireen.

Rani doesn't like her daughter being so familiar with her lover Alka.

"I want to eat, Dad!" Raline.

Alka nodded.

"Let's get some food!" Rani extends her hand to Raline but the little girl ogah welcomes her.

"Hold your mother's hand, Raline," Shireen said softly.

Raline welcomed Rani's hand with a scared face.

Rani smiled so warmly.

They enjoy the food at the fast food restaurant in front of the night market.

Shireen painstakingly feeds the chicken to Raline and Sean.

Alka feeds Sean with rice sprinkled with chicken milk.

Shireen also enjoyed the meal while watching Varrel and Raline eat.

Rani sees Shireen being very attentive to her children.

After Sean eats Rani takes over holding her.

However, Sean was frightened and looked towards Shireen.

Alka finally persuaded Sean to take her birth mother.

"This is your mother, Sean. Don't be afraid, yeah!" Shireen glanced at the woman before him.

"Mother love you, Sean!" kiss the toddler's cheek.

Sean finally complied and remained silent.

The hour hand shows at 10 p.m., Rani offers to have Shireen escorted home first. However, Alka refused.

"Mas, it's also late. Let us take Shireen home," Rani insisted.

"Let my Shireen drive him home, the children will be with my mother. I've sent Aldy a message to take him home" Alka said.

Rani's plan fails again, but she wants to be alone with Alka and her children without Shireen.

Once at home, Rani without leaving the car rushed forward her vehicle.

Lilis was waiting at Alka's house and Aldy was sitting on his bike.

"Not long to wait, is it?" ask Alka.

"Five minutes, brother." Answer Aldy.

"This is for you and Lisa!" hand over a box of sweet martabak.

"Thank you, brother!" Aldy grabbed it with a sumringah.

"Yes." Yeah."

Aldy went home.

Alka also brought Lilis' favorite egg martabak.

"Ma, I want to take Shireen home" said Alka.

"Yes, go. You guys be careful" said Lilis.

"Yes, Auntie." Shireen slapped the middle-aged woman's hand.

Lilis smiled.

Alka and Shireen passed.

On the way to her lover's residence, Alka stopped by an egg crust vendor because her papa Shireen loved the food

While waiting for Shireen and Alka to chat with each other. "Why did Mas not accept Kak Rani's invitation to travel to Bali?"

"Did you accept me and him together even though there were children?"

Shireen shook her head slowly.

"I don't give Rani another chance to get close, don't worry!" said Alka softly.

"Yes, Mas. I believe," Shireen smiled faintly.
