Rainy Aroma
Go to the mountain

About Galen coming this early in the morning, reminding Aurora when the man offered her a tonkatsu at the time.

Memories are so sweet but now too painful to remember.

"Don't be stubborn! I've come all the way here."

"I never asked you to come!" aurora's reply.

"It's too early to start a fight. Come on, leave with me."

Galen pulls Aurora's hand to enter her parked car not far away. Without knowing, Austin was looking at their togetherness from the second floor.

"Is there anything you want to eat this morning?" Galen opened the sound shortly after the car drove away from the courtyard of Aurora's house.

Wh why?

Why has Galen changed?

He didn't even want to hear Aurora's request yesterday, about pretending to be happy for their remaining marriage in less than five months.

While Aurora was trying hard to hate her husband, Galen suddenly came with the attention that Aurora had always longed for.

"I've had breakfast." replied Aurora cuek.

"Austin's staying at your house, huh? I accidentally saw his car parked in your yard earlier." asked Galen.

"I tried to get rid of him but he insisted" Aurora replied.

He answered like that not to appreciate Galen's feelings but to be afraid of Galen complaining no-no to Sarah and Juniar.

Galen laughed lightly. "He will not listen to your words. Austin was always like that. Chasing what he wanted to pursue, until he finally got it."

Aurora did not reply, not interested more precisely.

"Are you getting interested in him?" ask Galen curiously.

"Are you crazy?!" reply Aurora annoyed. "Don't ask me that! I'm not the type of person who easily puts feelings on every guy I've just met! Do you think I'm that easy?! Ah yes, right! I started to get a sloppy image after meeting a man like you who made me carry your baby!"

"I'm sorry, if my words offended you" Galen said, then remained silent for a long time.

Looks like Galen is not in the mood for a storm with Aurora.

The rest of the journey was still long, it would be awkward if they just kept quiet like this.

"Galen.." so Aurora tried to open up the topic of conversation between them after her sense of regret slowly began to subside.

"What?" reply Galen brief.

"So now you've started, huh? Since today?" ask Aurora.

Galen frowned not understanding. "What do you mean?"

"It was you who pretended to be nice to me" Aurora replied.

"Don't we talk about this yesterday?" ask Galen.

"So like that? You don't even accept rejection from me, keep doing what you want without caring about my opinion, even though I also have the right to refuse!" aurora's emotions were re-ignited.

"This is the best thing we can do for now" Galen replied reluctantly in response to the anger and disappointment Aurora was feeling.

"You're gonna be nice to me in five months' time, right?" ask Aurora.

"That's right!" answer Galen.

"You think I'm going to suffer because of that, Galen Addy Handoko? Do you think I'll fall apart after you divorce me later?! Let's prove it! This good attitude of yours will not make me waver!"

Galen was not affected. Stay focused on driving because for him now Aurora is just talking nonsense.

***

From that day on, Aurora decided to follow Galen's game. She was already tired, becoming a weak woman just out of love.

More than that, the love Aurora felt was only one-handed clapping love.

This time, Aurora will try to be strong, for her own sake especially the baby candidate.

"Mother, father, we left first" Aurora said with a bright smile after they finished having breakfast together.

"I'll go to the company after taking Aurora to the gynecologist." Galen spoke in June.

"Do you need to take a leave of absence for today?" Juniar.

"I don't think it's necessary, Dad, it might only take two to three hours, so I can still go to the company afterwards." Galen replied.

"Take a leave of absence is also no problem. All this time you've been working hard for the company, occasionally going with your wife while enjoying the day together is also sometimes necessary." said Sarah whose eyes seemed sparkling to see the harmony between the child and his daughter-in-law.

"Especially Aurora is pregnant. The extra attention you give her will definitely make her feel happy and avoid stress." Sarah continued.

"It's okay, ma'am, we can still spend some time together after Galen gets home from the company. Yeah, isn't it, Galen?" ask Aurora.

"Really! But if mom and dad insist, I'll take Aurora somewhere. Actually we've been planning on leaving this weekend, I'm planning on taking Aurora to the mountains to enjoy the scenery there."

"You're gonna take me there?" aurora asked with a happy look but only limited to pretending because she actually already knew about Galen's plan on this one. Galen told me about it last week.

Aurora only agreed to it as Galen said they would go enjoy the mountain view.

"Yes. You want?" ask Galen.

Aurora immediately nodded. "I don't think that's a bad idea."

"That sounds good!" puji Juniar's. "The atmosphere in the mountainous area is very soothing, suitable for enjoying by someone who is pregnant. That's what your mom and dad used to do when you were in your mom's womb."

"Seeing them reminds us of when we were younger, doesn't it my husband?" sarah remembers the past.

"Right, my wife." Juniar replied with a bright smile.

Juniar and Sarah then shared their short story, the happy day when Galen began to present completes the happiness of the household they were building.

Aurora smiles at Juniar's story, how lucky Sarah is to have Juniar so attentive.

Just like Galen really is, Juniar's difference is really a concern for Sarah while Galen is just pretending to be Aurora.

"Especially the air in the mountains must be cleaner and cooler. It would make Aurora feel comfortable. You can go together, do you need to prepare supplies for you?"

"No need, ma'am." Galen refused immediately. "We can buy it on the go so that you don't bother."

"Galen's right, ma'am, we have to go to the hospital anyway. We've already made an appointment with Dr. Alina."

Sarah nodded in understanding. "Yes, then you're careful on the road."

"Yes, Mom." Aurora replied.

"We're leaving now?" galen asked Aurora.

Aurora nodded in agreement. "Come on."

Galen walked out of the dining room holding Aurora's hand. Seeing that the smiles of Sarah and Juniar instantly burst open.

They feel very happy, in the end Galen and Aurora can unite like a harmonious married couple.
