Divorced for Poor

Chapter 54. The Sugara family

Nathan goes to see Grandpa at his house, to discuss Nathan's decision. Nathan's decision to leave the Sugara family business. Although actually Nathan's heart did not sincerely leave Grandpa. Nathan's only family left.

Nathan also did not expect, that eventually he had to sincerely leave Grandpa and all his memories with him. Grandpa sat down in front of him with a sad face looking at Nathan. There is a sense of regret for having done a DNA test that eventually even made his favorite grandson have to accept this bitter reality.

"Grandfather, I'm going to give up all of Sugara's family business to Grandpa, including the cars and houses you've prepared for me," Nathan said.

"Nathan. Grandpa regretted what had happened. Grandpa wouldn't assume any of this ever existed. Stay by Grandpa's side, and keep working the way you normally do" Grandpa said, trying to persuade Nathan.

"Nathan can't, Cake. How will people see me? I'll be like a joke there. Nathan better live out Nathan's life destiny, though bitter. Nathan will try to see the wisdom that may be behind this incident."

"Grandfather can't force you, because Grandpa saw you were already very confident in your decision. But Grandpa please, don't forget Grandpa," Grandpa said as he coughed lightly.

"Of course not, Grandpa. Grandpa will still be my only family besides my wife and son."

"Get me the car and the house your father gave you. It's all yours, whether you're the real child or not" Grandpa said.

"No, Cake. Nathan wanted to stand alone and escape from the shadows of the Sugara family" Nathan said with a bitter smile.

"Nathan, don't make Grandpa cry. Why are you so anxious to escape completely from the Sugara family. At least let our relationship be the way it used to be" Grandpa said with teary eyes.

After all, Nathan was the one he had raised since childhood. Grandpa was used to Nathan's whereabouts. If now Nathan had completely severed all ties with the Sugara family, Grandfather would have been very lonely.

Although there is now Thunder, but his presence can not replace Nathan's position in Grandpa Edward's heart.

"Grandfather, forgive Nathan Kek. But Nathan made his decision. Hopefully the decision that Nathan makes will be the right one" Nathan said as he sat at Grandpa Edward's feet.

"Nathan ...."

"Grandfather, forgive all of Nathan's mistakes while in the Sugara family. Nathan often makes Grandpa angry and disappointed. After Nathan leaves, there will be nothing else that will make Grandpa angry. Nathan has to go now" Nathan said, greeted by Grandpa Edward's embrace.

Grandpa and Nathan are dissolved in each other's emotions. There was sadness in the hearts of both of them that could not be described with words. Like they're going to be separated forever.

Nathan took off Grandpa's embrace and then he rushed off. Nathan was afraid that if he did not leave immediately, his heart would not be strong enough to leave Grandpa.

Nathan calls Seno, to pick him up. After waiting for a few minutes, Seno came to take Nathan to the restaurant. Seno did not dare to ask, looking at his boss's dejected condition.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Nathan organizes his heart and mind to keep looking calm. He entered with a sad heart. Look around him well. This place has for years been a witness to his struggle to advance the less Sugara business. He walked towards his study followed by Seno who was faithfully also about to leave this place.

"Boss, today the boss will leave, I will also resign from this job," Seno said while helping Nathan with his belongings.

"Don't Seno. Do not resign. This place needs people like you. Even if Grandpa's going to find my replacement, I hope it's you" Nathan said, stopping his activities.

"You have to promise me, do your job as usual until Grandpa makes a decision. If you follow me, you'll be hard-pressed, and unemployed. Because I'm going to rest before I start a new venture" Nathan said, patting his assistant and best friend on the shoulder.

"Ready, Boss. But I still hope the Boss will return to this place," Seno said excitedly.

"Don't dream. I'll just take a taxi, you won't have to drive me home" Nathan said with a faint smile.

"Hopefully the boss will be back soon" Seno said, accompanying Nathan's departure.

Nathan stepped slowly while looking at the various sides in the restaurant. There was a sense of loss he felt, but his selfishness overcame all that. He stood waiting for the taxi that had been ordered. Not long after that, the taxi that was sent had arrived.

Nathan went to his parents' grave to pray and apologize and thank them. Apologized to his father, because he could no longer continue the Sugara family business.

"Dad, Nathan apologized, because Nathan was so selfish he couldn't carry on the Sugara family business. Thank you, for giving him a life of pleasure, bearing treasures and luxuries even though I am not your biological child. Thank you for loving me without limits, for giving my best as a father."

You are the best, he said in his heart.

Then he turned to his mother's grave.

"Mother, forgive Nathan, has made the mother's name tainted. My heart's intention is to clear your name, but I'm making my mother's name even more hurried in people's eyes. Nor can Nathan hide Nathan's regret, that Nathan finally knows that Nathan is not Samuel's father's son. Whatever your difficulties may be, Nathan will regard them as mother compulsion. Nathan won't blame mom."

After he finished saying that, Nathan left with a thousand questions he had saved himself. Questions that will be difficult to find answers, because the only ones who can answer are his father and mother who are gone.

Although it's in Nathan's heart to find his biological father, but maybe it's better if he doesn't need to know. Nathan feared that other realities would be worse and more bitter than today.

Nathan comes home with a heart full of wounds that only he can feel. As it turned out, Lilis was already waiting for her on the porch while sitting down and reading a novel. Lilis smiled as she saw Nathan coming over with a matted face. Lilis stood up and greeted him warmly.

"Assalamualaikum," said a greeting from Nathan while putting his luggage on the table.

"Wa'alaikum greetings," Lilis replied as she kissed her husband's hand.

"What do you read, it looks so serious?" nathan asked as he sat next to Lilis and smiled.

"Now novel only, ma'am. Oh yeah, Lilis has prepared a favorite dish of Nathan. Now it's lunch time, let's eat first. Nathan must be hungry, right? I'll call Naina and mom later, so we can eat together" Lilis said, holding her husband's hand.

"Yes, but I want to take a shower first. My body feels really dirty" Nathan said as he looked at Lilis.

"All right, let's go inside."

Nathan took his luggage and took it into the house. Lilis followed her husband's steps into the house.
