Family to My Son

CHAPTER 6

Happy Reading!!!

"Shun my granddaughter, Arumi."

Deg

Arumi's heart was racing very quickly to hear the strong words coming out of Grandpa Hutama's mouth. The body that had been slightly shaking from nervousness was now trembling from worry and fear.

"I-I mean Grandpa?" arumi asked for a deeper explanation.

"I know your relationship with my granddaughter Star. As far as your relationship goes I know too" replied Grandpa Hutama who made Arumi more and more unfazed.

"Please stay away from the Stars, son," said Nek Tyas softly.

Arumi turned her head and looked at Nek Tyas. "Why?" tanya Arumi stared alternately at Tyas and Hutama's grandfather.

"You must understand. Did the Star never tell you why it never revealed your relationship?" asked Grandpa Hutama staring at Arumi.

Arumi remained silent. Many answers suddenly flashed in his head. But there's nothing he said. His mouth felt locked as if all the answers he had in mind were true.

Social differences? The status of the orphaned Arumi? Restu family? That must be all the cause.

"Do you have any answers, son?" Ask Grandpa Hutama again open his voice.

Seeing the silent arumi, Grandpa Hutama sighed softly. "You and the Stars are very different, son. To be honest, I'm saying rather than later you're expecting more. You better know now than later, son. Because your heartache will increase later," said Grandpa Hutama said without hesitation to look at Arumi.

"Maybe the stars didn't tell you about this. But in reality, Bintang has long been betrothed to one of the children of his father's business colleagues" Nek Tyas added.

Yes, it is true what was said by Nek Tyas. The star has indeed been betrothed to a beautiful girl who is the son of her father's co-worker Bintang. Of course with a commensurate social status and a clear degree of family seedlings, bebet and its weight.

Arumi with all her heart endured the pain.His eyes had been heating up. But the woman insisted on cooling so that the clear water did not come out soaking her cheeks.

Arumi looked at Tyas and Hutama. True what the stars have said. That Grandpa Tyas and Grandpa Hutama are very good as neighbors and superiors. But as a prospective grandfather and grandmother-in-law it seems like they are indeed not suitable for arumi.

Arumi gave her smile. "I'll try, Grandpa, grandma. But I didn't promise to erase my feelings for Mas Bintang. It was a matter of the heart working out of my control. If I could, I would probably choose to drop my heart on someone else who is as good as I am, "Arumi replied with a smile.

The woman must remain strong in front of Tyas and Hutama. Showing our tears is like asking for mercy from the one who has been the cause of our crying. And Arumi doesn't want to do that.

"Thank you for saying this to me. Thank you for waking me up, Grandma, Cake. I'm grateful you guys talked this out sooner. If not, I don't know what I will experience later" Arumi said gently.

"Hopefully what we're saying doesn't make our relationship break, son," Nek Tyas said, staring at Arumi.

Arumi smiled and shook her head. "No way, Grandma. It is precisely me who is afraid of Grandma and Grandpa who changed me," replied Arumi chuckling softly.

"Are you hurt?" Ask Hutama's grandfather who turned Arumi's gaze to the old man.

Arumi smiled and nodded. "Very, grandpa. But I am grateful to know early. Thank you for conveying this important thing. If not, maybe I will be the woman who hurt his future wife Mas Bintang," replied Arumi honestly held back all her grief.

"Is there anything that grandparents want to say?" Ask Arumi softly.

Grandpa Hutama and Grandma Tyas shook their heads.

"Then I say goodbye, Grandma, Cake. And thank you," said Arumi and immediately left without hearing Tyas' call to her.

Grandma Tyas sighed softly. He knew how much pain they had told Arumi, but this was to be told before it was too late.

"Is this right?" tanya Tyas looked at her husband sadly.

Hutama and Tyas did know all this. They are the only people known in this village. It can be said that this village is advanced because some of its facilities are donations from the wealth of Hutama. After his power was given to his son who is the Father of the Star, Hutama chose to spend his old age in this village with his wife. Leave the urban hustle and bustle and enjoy the rustic feel of the countryside.

It all started with Bintang and Arumi who rented a room. One of the officials there who knew Bintang was the grandson of Hutama immediately informed the old man. And of course Hutama immediately investigated. It turns out to be true. The relationship between Star and Arumi has even reached an excessive stage.

Not that Hutama made his granddaughter so cowardly, but being united with Arumi was an impossibility for them. The Nagara family is a family that prioritizes their honor and good name. If until Arumi married the Bintang, it is certain that many other large families will oppose.

.....

Arumi closed the door of her house violently. The woman's body slid to the floor with a cry she had been holding. Arumi's hand closed her mouth so that the sound of crying could not be heard.

I wanted to scream, but like the universe was reluctant to provide a vacuum to accept how it sounded.

Arumi looked down at her stomach. Her tongue moved to gently rub that stomach. "It's okay, son. Not having a father won't make us hard" Arumi spoke to her stomach.

Stars don't want their relationships to be known to many people. It turns out that the man already has a wife who is certainly more everything than Arumi. Arumi what? She's just a country girl who doesn't fit the criteria.

"Wait for your money to be collected, son. After that we'll go. Mother does not want you to be punished for your mistakes, son. Sorry, yes my dear," said Arumi softly with her crying voice.

It looks like this is the pain of a broken heart.

.....

Star and Space stared at a woman who was now sitting with her knees hugged. The view is empty staring at the window of the house that displays the view of the garden behind the house.

"Young lady can't be spoken to except with her psychiatrist, sir," said bi Ismi.

"Why did he get like this, bi?" Ask Stars.

"Miss like this since she graduated high school, sir. The cause is also aunty does not know," replied bi Ismi who made Angkasa and stars look at each other.

"Can we meet with his psychiatrist?" Ask Space.

"But he's not home. Miss psychiatrist is her own father" replied bi Ismi told.

"When will he come back?" Ask Space again.

"Mothers can come back later after magrib. Usually the master and mistress are at home after the magrib," replied bi Ismi honestly.

"Alright, bi. Thanks for the help. We'll be back later" said the Star politely.

Stars and Space walk down the stairs followed by bi Ismi. When they were about to come out, suddenly a couple came blocking his steps.

"Who are you?"

"Master, mistress," Bi Ismi said in shock to see her employer who had returned home.

The star and Space that heard the muttering bi Ismi instantly smiled. It seems like their task will be very easy. God actually accompanied their steps in opening the case of Kintani's death.

"We from the police wanted to meet Siska Andriani. Mother and father."
