The Roof You Promised

The Roof You Promised
Section 18 - Will Recapture


“You want to get divorced from me? Don't dream.” Herjuno screeched, looking at Megumi with a look of disdain.


“What are you holding up for? Our situation is getting sicker and worse. Anyway , your net one day will definitely try to get rid of me.”


“Give Haidar custody to me, then I will divorce you.”


Herjuno. Leaving Megumi who was looking at him wrathfully. He doesn't care how much Megumi suffers because of him, he doesn't care at all.

This afternoon Aurorae went to the supermarket shopping for household needs for the next month. He pushed his trolley slowly while occasionally looking at the phone in his hand. He sent a message to Herjuno saying he was going shopping. It's been an hour, and Herjuno hasn't responded.


“Aurorae..” call someone from the front.


Aurorae lifted her head. Since then he just looked down, occasionally staring at his phone, not paying attention to his surroundings.


Aurorae. Staring at Megumi in front there, who was also looking at her sharply. Aversive gazes.


“Megumi..” said softly.


Megumi moved closer.


“Are you shopping? Where's husband? Ah , or should I ask where is my husband?” Megumi asked with a sneer.


Aurorae. Just staring dislike. It's nothing, they're in a public place, Aurorae doesn't want to attract attention. One sentence from Megumi's lips just now was enough to make some people turn their heads towards them.


“Don't look at me like that. Basic hypocritical woman.” Megumi whispered again, slowly. It is the same, not wanting to attract attention. A few months ago, Aurorae said she would stay away from Herjuno. In fact, she was willing to marry her husband.


Aurorae passed, painstakingly holding back her anger, she was not a meek woman with an ocean-wide patience. If she did not think about her husband, she would gladly serve Megumi.


“Maling should indeed run away anyway, rather than battered in the mass hajar.” Megumi provoke.


“Maling?” Aurorae. Staring at Megumi sharply. It started to attract the attention of some people around them.


“Married people's husbands, isn't it the same as maling?” loud Megumi again, this time shamelessly. It made some people tick. He stared at the Aurorae, and began to whisper.


Aurorae was no less shocked. Stepping forward and slamming a bag of spinach that he had earlier held into his trolley.


“Don't lure me Megumi, I'm not that patient.” Aurorae looked at him furiously.


“Crude, I don't mind if I have to fight with you here.” He answered with a smile lifting two bags of apples from his trolley. Like saying this apple could be a weapon for me.


“Cih. It seems like Mas Juno ignored you, so you vented your anger at me.” Aurorae laughed a little. The smile on Megumi's lips disappeared.


Aurorae took a step forward, closing her lips to Megumi's ears.


“Treat our husband well, I don't want to snatch it that easy, won't exclaim.” Whispers slowly.


Aurorae passed by, not caring for the cynical gazes of those around her. It did not matter to Megumi who clenched her hands in anger.


After paying for all her groceries, Aurorae stepped out to her car. Keep some plastic bags in the back luggage, and enter sitting behind the wheel.


He let out a rough sigh, shortly after locking his car. And started sobbing. Banging himself on his chest, creeping him slowly.


Hell, began to show his face.

Herjuno stared at the file containing the house recommendations given by Farhan. Each sheet has front-looking photos and also some inner photos. Below is clearly described anything about the house, the area of land and buildings, the number of rooms, the price offered, to the nearest access to facilities and public spaces.


Herjuno researched one by one, weighing about in accordance with the tastes of Aurorae. Until the phone rings.


“What's up?” answer after raising the call.


Across there, Megumi was already shouting.


“What kind of woman did you marry Mas?”


“That woman even dared to challenge me in public you know!” he screamed again, louder.


“You met Aurorae?” Herjuno scrunched his forehead.


“Ya , in supermarket. And you know, he shamelessly invited me to a fight there , in front of a lot of people!”


Ah right, Aurorae had sent a message, saying she was going shopping, Herjuno had not had time to reply until forgotten because of work.


“We talk at home, I still have a lot of work.” Herjuno turned off his phone connection unilaterally, kneading his temple slowly.


Staring at his old phone, waiting. Why did Aurorae not contact him, not complaining about what had happened.


Long wait, finally he relented, first contact his second wife.


“Iya Mas?” the Aurorae voice is across there.


“Sorry, I was doing a lot of work, haven't had time to reply to your message. Are you still in the supermarket?”


“Still on Mas road , I'll be home soon. What do you want me to cook for dinner?” tanyanya cheerful. His voice did not sound upset.


Herjuno exhaled slowly.


“Sorry baby, today I am going home. Is it okay to eat alone?”


Aurorae. Staring at the street ahead, then taking a deep breath, forcing her tears not to spill.


“Good. It's okay.” The answer is to try to sound ordinary.


After their brief conversation, Herjuno and Aurorae were immersed in their respective thoughts.


Herjuno, upset that Aurorae is hiding something from him, begins to guess what else his second wife is hiding.


And Aurorae who was also upset, because she felt her husband did not care, was more concerned with his first wife. His tears had already flowed into the river, it could not be held back anymore.

After dinner, Herjuno meets Megumi in her room. Asking what happened this afternoon pissed him off half to death.


“Your second wife was blatantly saying will get rid of me.” He said with a hostile look.


“Aurorae never asked me to divorce you.”


“Cih. Of course, she's a cunning woman. Where might blatantly ask you to divorce me.”


Herjuno rolled his eyes lazily.


Hearing Megumi's story about what happened this afternoon her heart was a little disappointed. Why Aurorae could hurt Megumi like that, especially in public places with many pairs of eyes that see them.


“I'll talk to Aurorae tomorrow, forgive her.” Said Herjuno slowly, gently rubbing Megumi's shoulder.


“You always defend him.” Megumi started sobbing.


“Me , you and Aurorae are both my wives. No matter who is first and who is second, you have equal rights. Forgive me for hurting you, but learn to accept. Hem?”


Megumi did not answer , only her prank sounding louder.


Herjuno pulled her into a hug, then took a soft sip of Megumi's lips. Truly gentle, Megumi even forgot when was the last time Herjuno treated her so fondly. Squeezing her chest slowly, slowly but surely makes Megumi float. Until that night the two fused together, Herjuno stomped loudly with Megumi sighing favorably under it.


When the sweat equally flooded, Megumi smiled happily. Caressed her husband's back, and kissed his lips softly.


I'll take you back Mas, I'm your only wife.
