The Roof You Promised
Section 17 - Let's Divorce

Herjuno. Staring at Haidar who was smiling cheerfully.

“Om Satya?” tanyanya while squatting align her height with Haidar.

“Hem. Mama went to meet with Om Satya. What does Om Satya we invite too?” babbles excited.

“No , om Satya must be busy. It's okay if satya doesn't come?”

“Iya. But Brother Zhafran is coming.” Haidar.

Herjuno. Ruffling Haidar's hair.

“Iya alright. Brother Zhafran and Bi Lilis join.”

Zhafran smiled again.

At the fast food restaurant, Haidar tugged at Zhafran's arm to get closer to the booking table. Pointing to the row of menus that are plastered on the wall.

“Haidar want that one, two burgers use potatoes and drink.” He said cheerfully as he pointed at package A up there.

“Abang want which one?” he said again, looking at Zhafran.

Zhafran. Not knowing which one to choose, then turning to look at Bi Lilis behind her , as if asking what you choose?

“Zhafran choose whatever you want, it's okay.” Herjuno. He turned Zhafran's gaze to his mother.

“Burger only.” The answer is timid.

“Package A want? Same with Haidar.”'s Herjuno asked again.

Zhafran nodded.

Herjuno stepped forward, ordering four A-pack menus for them, with an additional two ice cream cups.

Zhafran. He did not stop smiling as he walked towards the table.

“Bi , did you say where you were going?”

Herjuno opens the conversation. Because when he called, Megumi said she could not go home because there was still business. Refusing to go with them.

“No Sir. Just said there's business and will be home at night.”

“What Mom said I'll be home today?”

“No, just ask me to stay again tonight.”

Herjuno just nodded. End the question, so that Bi Lilis could continue eating.

Aurorae sighed softly. From then on, he just stirred up his food.

Why didn't Mas Juno contact me?

Not even sending a message.

Did I just call?

It will definitely not be lifted.

He sighed again. His heart suddenly hurt. Imagining Herjuno enjoying his time with Megumi, Aurorae has suffered greatly.

Hid. Juno forgot about me.

Aurorae got up, cleaned up the food that had just been stirred. Then stepped onto the second floor, towards his room.

Drrtt

Thinking her husband was calling, Aurorae smiled cheerfully. But it wasn't.

“Iya Father.”

“How are you? Have you eaten?” ask Gumilar across there.

“Rae is fine Dad. Just finished dinner. Is Dad okay?”

“Good dad. Your husband hasn't come home?”

Aurorae bit her lips slowly.

“Mas Juno today came home, directly from the office this afternoon.” Tight chest.

There was a sound of Gumilar sighing, enduring the same tightness.

“Rae is fine Dad. Mas Juno treated Rae well.” Answer: holding back the crying. He didn't want his father to worry.

“Dad always pray for your happiness. Rest, don't get too tired.” Gumilar ended his call.

Aurorae. Only a day after Herjuno escaped his sight, his heart was already in excruciating pain.

Can I survive?

Until when do I get it?

What if I can't finally do it?

What was the end of my marriage like?

Many questions ran in his head. Questions he could not answer. Tonight he kept daydreaming, then sobbing softly to sleep in the middle of the night.

This morning, Herjuno had breakfast with Megumi, Haidar and Zhafran. Looking at the face of his son who smiled cheerfully, occasionally joking in between his mouth chewing food.

“Nak Bang?” Haidar looked at Zhafran who was busy chewing his breakfast.

“Enak. Same with Mother.” Zhafran. It was no longer awkward and timid even in front of Herjuno and Megumi. Enjoy the fried chicken they bought yesterday, and this morning Bi Lilis warmed her up in the microwave.

Haidar laughs.

“Abang just move to Haidar house, later I ask Papa to buy Kentucky every day.” Haidar replied with his mouth full.

Herjuno. While Zhafran, glanced at his mother who was putting a teapot of water on the dining table. For a child the age of Zhafran, of course, it would be fun if he had to move to his mother's employer's house. The house is nice, comfortable, and of course most importantly good food is always available.

“Can Pa?” Haidar asked looking at Herjuno.

“Bby. School Brother with Haidar is unidirectional, so can go together.

“Yeeay , tuh bang can. Just move here.” Haidar cheering.

Zhafran also did not lose the frenzy, cheering even if only in the heart. His lips smiled faintly while again glancing at his mother.

“Bi if you don't mind, stay here. Zhafran with Haidar can leave for school together.” Herjuno turned his gaze to look at Bi Lilis.

Megumi just glanced. Then grimace slowly.

And Bi Lilis is not a desensitist, she can catch if her employer disagrees with her husband's idea.

“Sorry sir, but I have a daughter who is still in school. Second grade High School. If I stay here, he'll be home alone. Her sister is married and lives with her husband outside the city.”

Bi Lilis refused subtly.

“Bring all your children Aunty lives here , it's okay. After all, isn't the house still contracting? Calculate save the cost of contract and daily meal Bi, the money can Aunt tube.” Herjuno.

Honestly, in the heart of Bi Lilis was cheering. If only Megumi raised her voice so that she moved here, she would immediately accept with joy. Saving money on rent and daily meals will really help her economy a lot. Her salary every month would only go out for her children's school needs. He could save up for Tasya's college tuition in two years.

But the hostess is unmoved, making Bi Lilis a gamang. He was still silent, looking down at how good it was.

“Just move Bi, no need to hesitate. Aunty we already consider like family.” Again Herjuno reassured, but Bi Lilis only glanced at Megumi at a glance.

“It's not Me?” Herjuno turned his gaze to Megumi, noticing Bi Lilis's indignation.

“As far as you are.” Megumi answered indifferently, still by eating fried rice on her plate.

After that Bi Lilis nodded, and said she would move soon after talking to Tasya, her second child.

This morning, Herjuno asked Bi Lilis to take Haidar and Zhafran to school, giving two hundred thousand bills for taxi fare.

“Why is your face? Don't act as if you don't like Bi Lilis staying here, you make her condescend.” Herjuno expressed the annoyance he had been holding back since.

“During this Bi Lilis always commuting, why suddenly ask her to move?” Megumi put down the tv remote that had been in her hands since.

“You didn't hear Haidar ask? He wants Zhafran to stay here. There are empty rooms anyway, so what's wrong?”

“Why burden someone else's son to please your son? Encourage him to play every day after he gets home from work. Wh why? Can't do? Ah, of course you can't. If you always come home to this house, your net body will be idle.”

PLAKK!

“How many times should I say, Aurorae my wife.” Herjuno incubates, slapping hard Megumi's cheek.

“Cih. How many times have you slapped me to defend that woman?” Megumi grimaced holding back her cries.

“Control yourself Megumi, I've had enough of every time you connect anything with Aurorae.” Herjuno endured the wrath seen from his hardened jaw.

“Let's get divorced Mas.” Answer slowly, down.
