ALINEAL
Chapter 63: Mother's Day
After Rangga's breakfast, Rio and Ana attend a performance at Alea's school to celebrate mother's day.
Alea along with her ballet team were in the middle of the stage preparing to present her ballet dance, while rangga stood on the side of the stage with the mothers of alea ballet team friends.
Although Rangga was the only man standing there, but Rangga did not feel awkward or embarrassed, he still gave support to his daughter.
Ana and Rio who were sitting on the invited guest seat could not help but hold back the need to see the scene.
Alea and his team made a circle and then danced the fairy doll dance adorable, Alea tiptoed with her toes while doing ballet movements.
At the end of the song Rangga and the mothers of Alea's ballet team walked closer to their children, then the children ran to hug their parents.
Ana, Rio and the rest of the invited guests stood up then gave a very lively applause for the children who were performing.
After the applause ended, the MCs took over the event. MC gives children the opportunity to wish their mothers a happy mother's day.
After the four friends said happy mother's day, it was Alea's turn to say happy mother's day, he came forward with his father's hand.
"Mother, Death has taken you to a beautiful place called heaven, we miss you mom." Alea looked up as if her mother had seen her from above.
Alea cried a hiccup while hugging her father's waist, Rangga crouched her body in alignment with her daughter then hugged her tightly.
"A-yah, I am so lucky to have you as my dad. Thanks for being so wonderful" Alea said stammeringly.
Rangga stroked Ales' back gently, then wiped his tears and kissed Alea's forehead.
All those present in the room could not hold back their tears, instantly all of them stood up to applaud Alea and Rangga as a form of support to Rangga and Alea.
As soon as the event was over Ana gave Alea a bouquet of flowers.
"That performance was amazing, baby"
Rio's holding Alea towards the car park, Rio's taking Alea, Ana and also Rangga to lunch at a fancy restaurant as a gift for Alea.
Entering Alea's nap time, Alea's eyes looked cute, Rangga who realized it immediately invited Alea and her two in-laws to return to the apartment.
Gently Ana stroked Rangga "Ngga's shoulder, do you not intend to marry again? we don't mind if you want to get married again?" ask Ana carefully.
"I have no intention to go there Mother, in my heart there is only Alinea. I couldn't afford to replace her with another woman" Rangga lowered his head, a longing for Tyshia reappeared.
"Who we have considered you like our own son, do you consider such a thing to us?" ask Rio.
To be honest Rangga sometimes still a little hesitant with Ana and Rio, especially now that Tyshia is no longer there.
"Stay with us son, Mother wants us to be a whole family" Ana said.
Rangga fell silent, he thought for a moment to accept his mother-in-law's invitation.
"Ngga, Tyshia's gone. We only have you and Alea, we'd love to hang out with you guys" Ana said.
"Well, Mommy, but I have to finish my responsibilities first at the college and take care of Alinea's boutique"
Since the departure of his wife Rangga took over the management of his wife's boutique, although he did not understand about fashion but he tried to learn it, he wanted to keep his wife's dream alive even though Alinea was no longer there.
"Get it done, we'll be waiting for you" Rio said.
Shortly after Alea woke up from her sleep, she approached her father who was chatting with her grandparents in the living room.
Alea was thrilled when Ana broke the news that her father would invite her to return and settle down in Indonesia, but Ana was a little surprised when Alea asked to attend a Public School.
"Okay, so from now on we use Indonesian. Agreed?" Rangga extended his hand to his daughter.
"But I'm not ready Dad" Alea protested to her father.
"You can use this to learn" Rangga handed his iPad to his daughter.
"Okay, I'm gonna try now" Alea accepted and started trying some simple sentences in Indonesian, Ana was very anxious to see her granddaughter who was stammering in saying word for word in Indonesian.
