The Roof You Promised
Section 21 - Forgive me

“What? You met Aurorae?” Herjuno looked at Megumi in annoyance.

“I'm sorry Mas , I just want to improve the relationship with him , until when we keep this.”

Megumi began to cry, making Herjuno pity.

“Aurorae pushes you to a fall?”

Megumi nodded.

“Maybe he was unintentional. It's okay.” Issue again.

“Rest. I'll talk to Aurorae.”

Herjuno.

“Where are you Mas?” Megumi asked before Herjuno actually left.

“To Aurorae house. I have to talk.”

“Don't go in a state of anger Mas. Our relationship will get worse.”

“This kind of thing should be straightened out immediately , finish your food. Do not forget to take the medicine , after that rest.” Herjuno rubbed his head.

**

Aurorae wrapped her body in a bathrobe while humming softly. Wrap her wet hair in a small towel, then get out of the bathroom immediately.

“Jeez Mas, you surprised me.”

He saw Herjuno leaning on the head of the bed.

“Why take a shower? It's almost eight o'clock.”

Herjuno moved closer to Aurorae, hugging his wife.

“My body smells of cooking , I just finished cooking.” Aurorae smiles.

“Mas has dinner?”

“Not yet, quickly put on your clothes. I'm already hungry.” He slowly kissed the Aurorae, then moved out of the room.

Closing the bedroom door slowly, then sighing. Deep down, he was very angry. But he has to talk to Aurorae. Moreover, he had not heard the story of the incident this afternoon from his second wife.

Herjuno immediately went down the stairs. Waiting for the Aurorae to come down for dinner.

**

“Thank you.” Herjuno smiled at Aurorae who had just offered her a plate of rice and side dishes.

Aurorae looks beautiful with a long navy blue dress. Her hair was in a half-clamp, leaving a little bangs and a child of hair dangling forward.

“Eat a lot.” He also smiled. She looks more beautiful in Herjuno's eyes.

“Ehm.. Rae..”

Herjuno opened the conversation as Aurorae began to eat her food.

Aurorae. Pay attention to her husband who looks nervous and hesitant with the next sentence.

“What's the Mas?”

“Ehm.. Did Megumi come this afternoon?”

“Iya.”

Feeling Herjuno was going to talk about something serious, Aurorae put down her spoon and fork.

“Continue eating, we talk while eating, hem?”

Aurorae. Take his spoons and forks again.

“What are you guys talking about?” Ask Herjuno again.

“Nothing. I'm not comfortable taking him inside. You know Mas , I'm still very upset considering my meeting with him at the supermarket a few days ago. Anyway I think we are not in a good situation , therefore I..”.

“Therefore you pushed him to fall from the front porch stairs?” Herjuno interrupted, when Aurorae had not yet finished her sentence.

Aurorae. Looking into her husband's eyes. There was clearly a flash of anger there. Herjuno looked at him sharply, with both hands tightly grasping his spoon and fork.

“Therefore I asked him to speak outside.” Aurorae exhaled her breath slowly.

“What do you mean I pushed him?” continued again.

“Rae , I know you and Megumi can't possibly get along like friends. I know you have the same rights as Megumi. You're my wife I know. No matter who is first and who is second, you have equal rights and duties as a wife. I'm trying to make that happen, treat you fairly, so that no one gets hurt more. Be patient Rae, didn't you know I had a wife from the beginning? Control yourself, Megumi is like that, she is trying to accept our situation. Accepting you also as my wife, the status that was previously only hers. Don't look like Rae. If there's someone who has to be angry, it should be Megumi. You're the one who came in between us, but look, he got rid of his ego. He came to mend his relationship with you, why are you hostile to him? In the supermarket you argue with him , embarrass yourself, what's the fun of being a spectacle of many people?”

Herjuno sighed softly. Pause for a moment before returning his voice.

While Aurorae lowered her head, creeping the strong dress on her thighs. Tears were already flowing profusely even without a sound.

“Then what are you doing? You push him without mercy, the stairs in front are quite high Rae, thank goodness his head is fine. But his arms and legs were injured. Does it have to be like Rae?” continued again. Unaware of Aurorae biting her lower lip to hold her stuffing out.

“You suspect me? I told you, I didn't push it. I didn't even know he fell down the front steps. I didn't know he was hurt.” Collapsing was already his defense, this time his voice trembled, holding back the cries.

Aurorae. Staring at Herjuno with tears.

“I said I didn't push it.” His gaze turned into a look of hate and disgust. Herjuno realized that.

Herjuno had not yet finished his sentence, Aurorae had already moved on. Leaving the dinner that was only three mouthfuls, headed for his room on the second floor.

Herjuno. But before he could get in, Aurorae closed the door and locked it from the inside. Running to his bed, then sobbing behind a pillow.

“Rae open the door! I'm not done talking.”

“Rae !”

Unknowingly Herjuno kicked hard at the bottom of the door. Aurorae was aghast, and was crying more and more.

“Rae ... If you don't open the door, I'll go home!” Herjuno threatens her, and Aurorae doesn't care.

“Rae you are really overdue!”

“Rae!”

“Good, I'm home. Don't call me ! You're really stubborn! Boyfriend!” shouted Herjuno from the front door. Then not long heard the sound of his footsteps drifting away. He's really gone.

**

Herjuno returned to his house with a sour face. It was ten o'clock at night, seeing Haidar already asleep in his room.

“Already Bi , sleep only. Are you asleep?” she asked Bi Lilis who had just opened the door for her.

“Have been in the room since an hour ago Sir, after Haidar slept.”

“The medicine is already in drink?”

“Already sir, I was alone preparing.”

“Good, thank you Bi, just rest.”

Bi Lilis nodded, then went into the room she occupied with her two children.

“Mas , are you home?” Megumi came out of the room after hearing the voices of people chatting.

“Why out? Rest, it's night.” Megumi was walking.

“Have you eaten?” Megumi ignored her husband's words.

“Already. Come.” Herjuno patted the chair beside him.

“I thought you were staying at Aurorae's house tonight?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Tomorrow there is a meeting one hour earlier than the office entry hours, it will be closer if I leave from here.”

Megumi nodded slowly.

“While Aurorae must have missed you Mas , you've been staying here a few days, don't treat it like that.”. Megumi fished again, as if dissatisfied with her husband's explanation.

“He is fine. Sleep 'em, I'll clean my body then follow.” Herjuno smiled sweetly while gently rubbing Megumi's head.

Megumi nodded, showing off her best smile. The smile of an extraordinary woman, the heart of an angel even though treated not well by her honey. That's what he's trying to show.

After Herjuno died, he snorted in annoyance.

“Cih, the woman must have denied it. And Mas Juno must have trusted him more.” Megumi folded her arms around her chest, not wanting to leave the family room.

Let's see Aurorae Genina, me or you win.

**

“Mas , have you talked to Aurorae?” ask Megumi.

They both now lay their bodies on the bed. Megumi hugs her husband's affectionate, playing fingertips over Herjuno's chest.

“Hem.” Herjuno.

“What does he say?”

“Me , forgive Aurorae, she couldn't have wanted to hurt you on purpose.” Herjuno turned his head, looking at his wife. Confused to talk how, because let alone apologize, Aurorae admitted that she did not.

“I know Mas , it's okay.” Megumi smiled again.

“Sleep , it's late.” Herjuno rubbed his wife's head slowly, and began to close his eyes.

Sucks.

What are you guys talking about, actually?

Aurorae admitted no?

What the hell is he telling me?

Are you scolding her?

Huh, you always protect her.
