Forced to Marry Duda
The Uparengga Family



Arumi pursed her lips. He was upset by his father's behavior. Had not met for a long time, instead of loving his son, even hit his head so hard.


Butbut wait... Arumi tucked her hair behind her ears. Recalling the words his father had said just now


Did papa just say that Digo is a descendant of yogyakarta nobles? Huh, is this man a descendant of the sultan of Prambanan as well?


Arumi's eyes pinched highlighting Digo who was already sitting in the patient's waiting chair sharply.


Seeing his son who highlighted the man from the family is so sharp, making Arumi's father hit his son again on the head.


Plaque...


"Papa's sick."


"It says being a cak wedok is polite. Your behavior is disrespectful in front of Mr. Digo. Let's apologize for glaring at Mr. Digo like that."


Arumi. "Who the hell is glaring at Digo?"


"Arumi Maharani." His father's voice was rising. Makes Arumi instantly rewind some rare bodies.


"I'm sorry Mr. Digo."


"Good." Arumi's father smiled and looked back at Digo with a happy face.


What's the special guy? My dad respects her like Tessa.


"How's Mr Sudibyo doing?" Arumi's father starts to open up the conversation to Digo.


"Grandfather died a long time ago, om."


"God. Oh my God, I don't know. When did Mr Sudibyo die?" Arumi's father looks surprised to hear the news that Digo's grandfather has died.


"About two years ago. Pain hard and late handling."


"Oh my god."


Their conversation continued and sounded so good. Arumi never thought that the father was so familiar with the Digo family even knew the history and genealogy of the Digo family in the past.


After hearing the talk of Digo and his father. It can be concluded if the Digo family is not a family that harmoniously. His grandfather Sudibyo who turned out to be Arumi's grandfather's boss married a Dutch woman Gretta without the consent and blessing of Sudibyo's parents.


Not to mention his three children, namely Baskara pratama Uparengga father Digo, Sri Ajeng Ayu Uparengga, and Tri Hartono Uparengga did not want to take care of Sudibyo and Gretta in old age. His three children even sent Sudibyo and Gretta to Gretta's hometown in Amsterdam and let the grandparents live long-lunta.


Arumi silently listened. So did Arumi's father and mother. But Arumi's father could not hide his surprise at the end of the history of the man he knew with a soft heart and light hands.


"Grandfather once asked a portion of his shares in Uparengga group to my father. Not for her but for my grandmother Gretta. Grandpa was afraid that after his departure, my grandmother would be taken to a nursing home because it was not worth living alone. But my papa heartily said that if my grandfather's shares have been given to my brother Steven."


"Grandfather can't do anything anymore. Before leaving, Grandpa asked grandma to call me. Grandma said, the one who can be called the only family is just me. But because when my grandfather died I was having personal problems making me late to come to Amsterdam to see them."


Arumi's father rubbed a rough face. Without preventing the circle of tears dripping on the middle-aged cheek cracker. He recalled how good Sudibyo used to be when Arumi's grandparents worked in the Uparengga company of a group that used to be called Archery.


"Mr Sudibyo is a good man." Arumi's father started telling stories. "Before Uparengga group stood its name was archery. A large matrial shop that has branches in many places on the island of Java. Many employees. You used to be one of Mr. Sudibyo's subscriptions. Every waste buy building materials, Mr. Sudibyo always gives bonuses that are not cheap. He is also known to be light-handed. Often helping people in those times. In fact, he also set up an orphanage for children who were dumped and abandoned by their parents."


"Papa did not expect, the end of life of a benevolent noble descendant, light-handed like lord Sudibyo would be as miserable as that. In the past, papa remembers very well how Mr. Sudibyo and mistress Gretta proud their three children and hope to go down all his wealth as well as their attitude and nature. However, it is not expected that his three children even got that much money with him." Arumi's father wiped the tears back.


So did Arumi who unconsciously participated in the sadness of the father. He never expected a respectable family like Uparengga to send his own parents. He loved and was very proud of them.


Maybe this is what milk means in the tubal water. Or the love of parents all the time and the love of children throughout the pole.


In contrast to Arumi's father and mother who dissolve in grief because the end of the life of a kind noble so tragic. Digo the grandson just sat down in a deep shame because of the actions of his parents and other big family Uparengga. Various ways she has done to make the grandmother happy and make up for the sadness of the grandmother because of the departure of her husband. But still, Digo blames himself for the late grandfather's death.


After a long conversation recounting the full journey of Sudibyo Uparengga turnaround that ended miserably in old age, Digo permission farewell. Not to forget, Arumi's mother said a lot of thanks to the man for helping to pay for Arumi's father's operating costs. Arumi's mother also advised Digo to return to visit her after Arumi's father was healed.


Along the way to send Digo out of the hospital, Arumi sees Digo's attitude that suddenly turns so cold. The straight-haired man didn't even say a word. Not as usual that was so chatty and so annoying.


Not wanting to, Digo returned to Jakarta with a grim look Arumi decided to take him to dinner first at the cafe near the hospital.


Arumi ordered a lot of food that he thought could make Digo's mood improve again. But unfortunately let alone eat, just touch Digo reluctantly.


Ever since the talk with his father about his late grandfather, Digo has been really quiet. His face was so glum as to think of something unusually heavy.


"Digo, you eat yes. Just a little, let your stomach not be empty."


Digo's head looked up at Arumi. Arumi who was looked at Digo like this even became clumsy and a little horrified.


"Ke... Why?"


"Are you not ashamed to have a husband with a family that is so despicable rich me?"
