Divorced for Poor

Chapter 32. permission Bu Siti

"Mom disagrees," replied Ms. Siti who made Nathan Panic.

Been denied? Nathan's heart began to fall apart and his mind felt overwhelmed. What should she do for Ms. Siti to accept herself. Nathan gathered all his remaining confidence. Trying to control his heart and mind. His struggle had only just begun and he would not give up that easily.

"May Nathan know, why does Lady Siti disagree? Is it because I am poor?" nathan asked curiously.

"Because you're not being honest."

Ms. Siti's answer was right in Nathan's heart. Nathan realizes he hasn't been honest with Lilis and his mother about who he is.

Nathan's guilty look made Bu Siti sigh. What he said at this moment was only to test Nathan, whether he really wanted to marry Lilis, or just Nathan's momentary wish. However, Nathan's reaction was beyond his expectations. So it's true that Nathan has not been honest with them, especially with Lilis.

"Sorry Mom Siti, there are indeed some things that until now I have not been able to tell you. But I promise today, I will be honest with Lilis. Provided that mom is willing to bless us, I promise I will make Lilis and Naina happy."

"Mother believes that you will be able to make Lilis and Naina happy. But honesty is mandatory for married couples. If one lied, then household harmony would be like wood filled with termites. Although it is not visible, but the wood will be porous and will no longer be able to stand firmly to withstand the swift storm," said Bu Siti soft advice.

"Nathan understands, Mom. Nathan promised to always be honest with Lilis."

"Alright, since I saw you writing to Lilis, I agreed to your request to marry my daughter. But most importantly, Nathan's son knows that Lilis is a widow with one child. She's not a virgin. I don't want to, you regret it later. Don't hurt Lilis. Has he also agreed to Nathan's wishes?" ask Ms. Siti.

Even though Bu Siti already knew that Lilis had fallen in love with Nathan. He just wanted to make sure Nathan wouldn't regret it because Lilis was a one-child widow.

"Of course, Lilis agreed. Therefore, today, Nathan will take Lilis and Naina to meet Grandpa."

"Are you sure your grandfather would agree to Lilis' status?"

"Nathan can't answer. But Nathan knew Grandpa always wanted to see Nathan Happy. And Nathan's happiness is marrying Lilis."

"Alright, please take care of Lilis and Naina."

"Nathan's father..."

Naina's shout melted the tense-looking atmosphere. Lilis and Naina appeared from behind the middle room door. Naina immediately stood in front of Nathan while holding Nathan's hand.

"Naina, come with me to see Grandpa, okay?" nathan said happily.

Naina nodded happily while Bu Siti looked at Lilis with an anxious look. Lilis understood what her mother feared.

"Baby, Nathan. Naina doesn't have to come. After all, this is my first meeting with your Grandpa. So next time, Naina's coming."

"alright. Naina, go next time. Today, Nathan's father and Lilis's mother are leaving for a little while. Will I buy you a nice toy or a doll?"

"Just dummy, Nathan's father," replied Naina somewhat disappointedly.

"Mbah Uti's..."

Naina immediately hugged Ms. Siti. Naina must be disappointed, she's not allowed to come with them. Lady Siti hugged Naina's body while patting her back softly.

"Naina, you go first?" pamit Lilis's.

But Naina does not want to see her mother. Lilis knew, Naina must be mad at him. But Lilis did it for the good of Naina. Lilis does not know whether Nathan's family will accept her or not with her status as a widow.

"Mother, Lilis is gone. Please take care of Naina."

"Nathan go, Mom. Nathan's father goes first, Naina."

Lilis and Nathan kissed the back of Ms. Siti's palm before stepping away.

"Lis, Naina is angry" Nathan said as he walked beside her.

"Leave it, Mom. Later also lost his anger if we go home bring him a doll," replied Lilis comforting herself.

Nathan just nodded slowly. Although she actually wanted to introduce Naina to her Grandfather.

"Yes. But why do I feel like you keep looking at me weird?" nathan was confused.

"There's nothing, Mom. Ah ah, let's go. Riding my bike?" lilis replied and asked back.

"Retail my car" replied Nathan.

"Your car?"

"Why?"

"No-no. May fantasize," replied Lilis laughing softly.

"That means fantasizing....what fantasy?" nathan was confused.

"Berkhayal has his own car, Mas. One moment it can definitely be, spirit," Lilis replied as she raised one arm and then she passed away.

Lilis walked quickly to Nathan's car parked on the front road. He didn't care at all when Nathan wanted to answer his words. Nathan actually wants to tell the truth, but Lilis already thinks it's just fantasy.

I'll be at Grandpa's house later. I'll tell him the truth, Nathan's inner self.

Nathan's car drove on a fairly crowded street and stopped in front of the minimarket. Lilis and Nathan walked towards the fresh fruits section. Lilis was confused as to which one to choose for Grandpa. Because he doesn't know Grandpa's favorite fruit.

"Mas, what's Grandpa's favorite fruit?" ask Lilis.

"Grandfather likes apples. Buy me an Apple," Nathan replied with a smile. "Since I bought Grandpa Apples, we're looking for a beautiful doll for Naina."

"Yes, we're here, all for Naina. But Nathan chose himself. I just follow. I want to see what kind of choice Nathan has he made?"

"Okay, where can I choose. I don't know what kind of doll Naina likes. In that case, you have to help me" Nathan said expectantly.

"It's Mas Nathan's business to take Naina's heart," ledek Lilis.

"Eat him Lis, I helped you buy Grandpa's favorite fruit. It's your turn to help me pick Naina's favorite doll, right?"

"Yes already. I'm done. We're looking over there."

Nathan pushes a shopping trolley containing only apples for Grandpa. They walked towards the top of the Mall which contained various kinds of puppets. After a long time choosing, Lilis found a very sweet pink doll like Naina.

"What if this is it, Mom?" ask Lilis while showing her the doll in her hand.

"Let's see first."

Nathan took the doll in Lilis's hand. He then looked closely at the doll while smiling and nodding slowly.

"OK, this is it. Lis, you go back to the car first. Let me pay for this at the cashier."

"But Mas Nathan isn't shy about paying himself at the checkout?" ask Lilis.

"Dare, this afternoon, what is there to fear? Go and get the car keys."

Lilis receives the car keys from Nathan's hand. It's as if Lilis can open her own car, but she can't open Nathan's car at all.

Meanwhile, Nathan accidentally let Lilis into the car first for fear that Lilis saw the magic card used by Nathan is a Black Card. Nathan shouldn't be afraid because he promised Lady Siti he'd be honest with Lilis. Nathan's still waiting for the right time and I don't know when.

Lilis, unable to open the car door, returns to wait for Nathan inside the Mall. He was very surprised when he saw that the ATM Card that Nathan used was a no-limit card.

Did he steal or rob? But that's impossible, Nathan isn't that kind of man. He's a good man, Inner Lilis.
