Divorced for Poor

Chapter 31. Nathan's Identity

It's been almost 4 months, Nathan's been busy outside the house. Although he never ignored his work, it still made Edward Sugara's grandfather who had just come from Singapore feel anxious.

Grandpa wondered what made Nathan so changeable. Nathan is usually busy with work affairs until there is almost no time to relax. Think about women and marriage.

Nathan Sugara, the sole heir to the Sugara family-owned restaurant business spread across several major cities in Indonesia. Since her parents died in a plane crash 6 years ago. He was forced to become a leader at a young age when he was still in college.

Undergoing 2 professions, making it a strict person in managing time. He will monitor himself, the purchase of food ingredients that will be used in his restaurant.

Edward's grandfather got a report from one of his confidants since 2 months ago. However, because there are still important matters to be taken care of abroad, he postponed it until 2 months later.

Grandpa's return this time, to live in Indonesia and make Nathan willing to have a family. The Sugara family must immediately have an heir for the future survival of the Sugara family.

If you can, not just one child, like Nathan who is an only child. Grandpa Edward will make sure that this time Nathan will not reject the wedding plan that Grandpa has planned.

Nathan comes home in the modest clothes he often wears if he meets Lilis. He thought his grandfather would come tonight. He casually entered the house whistling like a young man in love.

Nathan didn't realize that Grandpa was watching him from upstairs. Nathan climbed the stairs with a smile hinting that his heart was overjoyed.

"Ehem…"

Nathan stopped his steps, late in front of his grandfather.

"Ka..kakek, when did Grandpa come home? Why didn't you tell Nathan?" nathan asked in shock.

"Grandfather just can't wait to see Grandpa's granddaughter. So Grandpa advanced his flight schedule. Unexpectedly, Grandpa would find things that Grandpa had never seen before."

Grandpa chuckled to see Nathan misbehaving. Nathan is really shy, Nathan's childish nature is seen by his Grandpa.

"Hurry shower. After dinner, there's something Grandpa wants to talk to you about."

"Good, Cake. Nathan go take a shower first."

Nathan rushed to his room to clean himself up. While the Grandfather was still smiling while shaking his head seeing his favorite grandson misbehaving.

After dinner, Nathan met Grandpa who was relaxing in the living room.

"You've come, sit down."

Nathan was sitting next to his grandfather reading a book. His grandfather immediately put the book he read on the table after seeing Nathan's arrival.

"Grandfather, what exactly is Grandpa talking to Nathan about?" nathan asked curiously.

"How old are you now?" asked Grandpa looked serious.

"Grandfather, what kind of question is that?"

"Jawab it."

"26 years."

"It's quite natural."

"What does Grandpa mean?"

"You are the only child of the Sugara family. You have an obligation to provide a successor for the Sugara family in the future."

"Nathan still does not understand what Grandpa said," asked Nathan pura did not know the direction of Grandpa's goal.

"Nathan, tomorrow Grandpa will take you to meet Grandpa's friend. She has a very beautiful and smart daughter. He's a foreign graduate. Grandpa wants to match you guys up. Grandpa sure, you'll fit him."

"Grandfather, now is not the time of Siti Nurbaya anymore. After all, Nathan is an adult and can find himself a future wife Nathan loves, Grandpa."

"Well, why didn't you tell me earlier, that you already have a lover?" ask Grandpa with a smile.

Apparently Nathan's been caught in his grandfather's trap. If he is not on the fishing line with an arranged marriage, he will not want to be straightforward.

"We want to get married soon."

"Well, take that woman to Grandpa as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow, Nathan will take him to see Grandpa. Only, there's one thing I want to tell Grandpa."

With a doubtful heart, Nathan intends to be honest with his Grandfather.

"Just say, Grandpa is ready to hear it."

"The woman Nathan wants to marry, she's a widow with one child."

Grandfather silent. Highlight his eyes sharply looked at Nathan who could only sigh. Hoping that Grandpa wouldn't take issue with Lilis' status.

"Grandfather can hardly believe, Grandfather's granddaughter who is very handsome and educated, can fall in love with a widow? Grandpa was even more curious, wanting to see him immediately. Tell Grandpa a little bit about him."

"Thank you, Cake. She's a simple, beautiful, kind woman and she can cook. Cuisine's great. He has a fairly crowded food stall proof that his cooking is liked by many people."

"Well, Grandpa understands. Grandpa's granddaughter is in love now. So, just take it tomorrow to see Grandpa."

Nathan was happy, because Grandpa looked so happy to hear he already loved someone. There was no rejection on Grandpa's face despite knowing Lilis was a widow.

***

Nathan leaves for Lilis' house to meet Ms. Siti. Of course to ask permission to marry Lilis. In neat clothes, Nathan confidently knocked on Lilis' door.

"Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alaikum salam. Just a minute, yeah."

Lilis' voice replied to Nathan's greeting. Not long after, Lilis opened the door for him. Nathan's heart thumped, while seeing Lilis dress up.

Lipstick colors that look more seductive. Her long black hair was tied in ponytails, simple but beautiful. Plus a soft and understanding heart towards others.

"Mas, it's early morning. Come in" said Lilis, breaking her daydream.

Nathan walked slowly, it was like he was about to attend a job interview. Worry, worry and anxiety. Whether it will be accepted or rejected, it is still not predictable.

"Sit down, I'll call you first."

Lilis steps into Naina's room. Ms. Siti is helping Naina wear clothes because she just finished taking a shower.

"Mom, Nathan has arrived. Let Lilis take care of Naina," Lilis said with a smile.

"alright. I met Nathan first," said Ms. Siti.

"Bah Uti, Naina came to see Nathan's father" Naina said as she followed Siti.

"Naina, wear clothes with mom. Later on Mbah Uti met Nathan's father," replied Bu Siti softly.

"Yes, Naina. Here, put the clothes on first, we'll meet Nathan's father together later" added Lilis.

Naina is indeed a submissive child, she also let Ms. Siti go to meet Nathan. Lilis helps Naina change clothes to continue Bu Siti's unfinished work. While Ms. Siti is ready, listen to what Nathan wants to say.

Nathan and Lady Siti sat facing each other. Nathan looked nervous as well, though he should have been confident. With her status as a leader and high education, you should not be nervous about facing prospective in-laws anymore. But still the fear of being rejected stuck in his heart.

"Nathan, what makes you want to talk to mom?" ask Ms. Siti.

"Nathan, wanted to ask Ms. Siti's permission to marry Lilis," Nathan said nervously.

"Mother, disagree," replied Ms. Siti who panicked Nathan.

She rejected?
