The advice from Dicko made Arumi's confidence rise a little. Now only she tells her parents that she and Digo are getting married.
Arumi goes into the father's care room. Started to tell his parents about the beginning of the meeting he and Digo certainly with the story of the essay he had prepared.
When telling stories Arumi was a little worried, afraid that the father would not give his blessing considering the Uparengga family which has a myriad of scandals. However, in view of the expression of both Arumi instead astonished because both of them showed flat facial expressions only.
"So did you and mom agree that I married Digo?" asked Arumi did not dare to look at the faces of his parents especially the father.
Silent for a moment, until suddenly both parents chuckle together. Arumi's head looked up, his forehead frowning with the behavior of his parents.
What's up with them? why are they laughing?
"Sir, mommy and dad thought you had a special relationship with Digo."
"Well, how did you know?" asked Arumi in confusion.
"No man wants to spend that much money just to help a woman. There must be a reason. Let alone seeing Digo's attitude when here earlier."
"Well, why is he?" Again Arumi asked in confusion.
"He sees you differently." This time his father spoke. Arumi's frown was still confused by the words of her parents. "Before you, papa used to be young. Digo seeing you is like seeing something special."
Ah, what is it? His specialty?
"So Papa and Mama agreed that I married Digo."
Gently, Arumi's mother touched the child's back. Smiling and staring at the husband who was still lying weakly in the patient's bed with a breathing apparatus.
"All the choices are in your hands. As long as you think it's best for you, you'll take it." His father said in a very weak voice.
"The most important thing is your happiness. If you are happy run. If not, no." Mother continued.
Arumi's heart was a little disturbed. Secretly, he asks himself if he would be happy to run a marriage with Digo without any basis of love? Even though both parents have approved of it, but if they knew the real reason behind this marriage would they still be this happy?
Arumi hugged the weak body of the father. Clutch him tightly and smile. He removed everything that was bothering his mind. Including any reasons and agreements behind her marriage to Digo. Let this be the secret to him and Digo. It's okay Arumi runs it, although not sure she will be happy at least she can make up for the guilt to both parents for ever loving the wrong person by marrying Digo which makes both parents happy.

That night came. By wearing Digo's purchase party dress, Arumi is ready to show herself in front of the big family Uparengga.
At exactly seven in the evening, Digo picked up Arumi at a salon in the Bintaro area. The man who came in a pajero car and semi-relaxed clothes slightly clucked and was amazed at Arumi's appearance.
"Lo ready?" ask while stretching out your hands.
Arumi grabbed Digo's hand. "Yes. But before it's rich we should get used to calling me you. It's more natural."
For a moment Digo fell silent while pondering before then saying, "OK."
The metallic black car broke the streets of the capital. Long enough, until they arrive at a semi-permanent house in an elite residential area.
Arumi's head looked out, amazed to see only the super-large and tall wooden fence in front of him.
"This is your house?" ask him to Digo.
"Yes." Yeah."
The turnstile opened automatically, from the inside out two burly guards walked over. Digo also opened his car glass, showing his face which is certainly familiar to the two guards.
"Good night, Mr. Digo." Greet the two guards kindly.
"Please bukain. I have an appointment to see papi mami." Said Digo in a tone so cold and so sniffy.
After the gate opened, Digo stuck gas in and went inside. The car runs slowly through like a garden that grows step plants. They also passed through a pond and some cages that were either in it there are animals of what kind.
Seeing all that, Arumi can only cluck and be amazed to find a strange house like this magical bin.
This house feels I entered the safari park and Bogor botanical garden.
After driving a few meters, the car stopped right in front of the main house. Outside there was already a male servant who opened the door as soon as the car in front of him.
The door opened, Arumi came out from inside and stood looking at how big the house was before her eyes.
"I... Is this really your house?" asked Arumi while still looking at the five-story house in front of him
"Our house."
Arumi gasped in shock as Digo whispered right in her ear. The man then grabbed Arumi's hand, leading her inside.
As the door opened, Arumi was startled by the large number of women in waitress clothes bowing their bodies and saying in unison.
"Welcome Mr. Digo and Miss Arumi."
Arumi's heart fell so shocked by the voices of the servants.
"Where are mami and papi?" Digo asked who he was showing.
From the line of servants suddenly a middle-aged servant came forward and stood right in front of us. His position still remained the same, standing by bowing his body in Digo's honor.
"Master and mistress and master steve and his wife have been waiting in the living room." After saying so, the middle-aged maid that Arumi believed was the senior servant rewinded her body a few steps to give way to Arumi and Digo.
Without saying anything more, Digo pulled Arumi's hand and brought her inside the house. Whether it's just Arumi's feelings or it's true, that Digo suddenly just acted so coldly to everyone including him.
The girl's steps were a little shaken because of Digo's hand. Arumi grimaces at Digo and asks to be let go. But the man seemed not to hear and even continued to pull Arumi's hand through several rooms with luxurious ornaments and of course expensive.
Arumi's heart was racing so fast. The fear of Digo's family speech filled his mind even more. Arumi continues to suggest his brain with the advice that Dicko told his brother. But strangely the suggestion did not work even more to make his feelings unsettled.
Digo suddenly stopped his footsteps right in a room next to the pool fitting. The sound of laughter filled the room.
Digo walked in slowly still dragging Arumi's hand. And when the two entered the laughter it vanished.
A room filled with two men and two women silent and simultaneously those who were laughing turned to us and immediately put on a serious face like ready to interrogate criminals.
"Are they your parents?" Arumi tiptoed and whispered in Digo's ear.
For the first time, Digo answered Arumi's whisper with just a hand signal so that Arumi was quiet for a while.
"Night pi mi." Sapa Digo pretended to be hot.
The four of them immediately realized and immediately smiled to see Digo's arrival. Even a middle-aged woman among them ran over and scattered to hug Digo tightly.
No doubt it makes Arumi who is still holding Digo's hand apart even the girl reflexively rewinds and almost topples because of the sudden hug effect of middle-aged women dressed super glamorous.
"Digo my son." His hand rubbed Digo's hair gently.
And now, Arumi can conclude that the middle-aged woman who hugged Digo was suddenly his mother.
But one thing that makes the view of Arumi not wearing. Not because of the embrace of mother and child, but because of seeing one more woman who was just him pecking like shock and holding back tears standing still there lowered his head reluctantly staring at Digo or just greeting the two.
Arumi's heart was broken. His soul is sticking out. Arumi had to figure out who the woman was and why Digo was looking at her so fixed and piercingly sharp.
