The Roof You Promised
Section 25 - After Seven Months
“Mas , are you home?”
Megumi smiled brightly, Herjuno has not come home for two days. Though he thought , Herjuno's relationship with Aurorae deteriorated.
“Hem.”
Herjuno embraces Megumi's waist carrying her inside.
“Where is Haidar?”
“There is in his room, with Zhafran.” Megumi held her husband's arm. “Go first Mas , I prepare dinner.” Further again.
Herjuno nodded and passed from there towards their room.
Megumi's heart is breaking. Looking at Herjuno's attitude, it seemed that Aurorae was not pitting things out. She knew exactly the character of her husband, Herjuno would not be silent if something disturbed her mind.
Hid. That cunning woman. Do whatever it takes to master Mas Juno's heart, including pretending to be innocent and kind. You'll never manage to take it from me, Aurorae.

“If you have been able to approve from the financial section, immediately run the promotion plan.” Herjuno said on the sidelines of his seriousness to sign some of the files that Tita had just brought into his room.
“Good Sir.”
“Don't forget to announce about rewards this month.” He said again while presenting some files that he had finished signing.
Tita nodded, received a stack of papers from Herjuno's helping hand, then turned around preparing to come out.
“Oh Yes Tita.”
Tita looked back.
“Ask Farhan to my room.”
Tita nodded then completely walked out of the room.
He sighed softly as he arrived at his desk.
“Infront why? Still this morning.” Rama who suddenly came up with his keponya mode, startling.
“It's still early in the morning, but my work is sky-high in space.” Tita forced her absurd smile.
Rama chuckles.
“Sok payday , account balance also definitely sky high.” Farhan who was checking his weekly report, chimed in.
“Oh yes almost I forgot , you called Pak Juno to his room.” Tita looked at Farhan.
“I?”
Tita raised an eyebrow while nodding.
What's up again?
Rama asked without a sound. And Farhan just put the shoulder mark he didn't know either.
“Are you still in touch with my wife?” asked Herjuno after Farhan came before him.
Farhan frowned.
“Aurorae. Are you still in touch with him?”
“No.”
This time Herjuno's frown was furrowed, with a probing look.
“Although by phone?” Herjuno is still trying to extract information.
Hhh. Farhan rolled his eyes lazily.
“Actually what do you suspect ? I'm not that crazy to get close to married women.”
“Do not misunderstand. I don't suspect you at all. It's just... “ Herjuno hangs his sentence. Considering what he should tell Farhan everything.
This time it was Farhan who gave a probing look.
“Good. Thank you.” Herjuno lets Farhan out.

Seven months have passed, Aurorae and Herjuno's relationship is getting better. They already occupy the house that has just been purchased and renovated according to the tastes of Aurorae.
And now, Aurorae's gestational age is entering the sixth month.
These few months Aurorae only focus on her pregnancy. Nausea vomiting throughout the day in the first three months, forced eating, and moods that can change suddenly.
Slowly he forgets his quarrel with Megumi.
Aurorae is too happy with her pregnancy, that she doesn't seem to remember her hatred that seven months ago was so great.
So did Megumi, Herjuno's kind and sweet attitude seemed to turn her away from the hatred towards Aurorae. He was sure his household was fine, sooner or later Herjuno would return to him. Just be his.
But that peace did not last long.
The two women faced each other. Silence does not move, just staring at each other. Unlike a few months ago that their accidental meeting was tinged with debate.
Until finally Aurorae who first disconnected the gaze. Passing through Megumi just like that, while continuing to stroke her belly slowly. The gesture Megumi saw as a scorn for her.
Megumi just kept looking at the Aurorae slowly moving away, with her right hand holding some paper bag, and her left hand creeping heavily on the thigh.
“Aurorae !” Megumi could not take it anymore. Half yelling he called Aurorae.
As Aurorae turned her head, Megumi caught up with her in quick steps.
“What is Mas Juno's son?” Took it without any pleasantries.
“Ya.” Aurorae stared at him flatly. Unbasically.
“How many months is your gestational age?”
“Six.”
Megumi jerks. Not because of the Aurorae's gestational age, but because the woman answered him flatly. Just answer what he asked. Not trying to provoke , nor trying to cover her up.
Megumi was getting upset.
“Why are you quiet?” ask again, with a scornful look.
“I answer all your questions.” Aurorae replied, again without expression.
“Didn't you hate me so much? I'm sure you really want to grab me, do it.” Megumi continued to provoke , leaning her head slightly closer to Aurorae's face.
“Why should I?”
That look Megumi hated him so much. Just staring at him flatly, expressionlessly. It was as if meeting Megumi was not something important.
“No need to pretend to be calm, you must still be vengeful because at that time the wounds on my face and body made you scolded Mas Juno all out.” Megumi chuckled softly.
“Sorry. I was just kidding. Now you can repay me. Look, I'm not going to dodge. Which part do you want to hit?” Again Megumi leaned her face towards Aurorae, not forgetting the mocking smile that never escaped her lips.
“It's okay. Don't feel so guilty. Besides Mas Juno isn't too mad at me.” This time Aurorae smiled.
“I'm leaving, there's a friend I have to meet. Excuse me.” Before actually turning around, Aurorae smiled again. A soft smile that looks mocking in Megumi's eyes.
“Cheap woman.” Megumi growled as she passed from there. Resist the upset before finally deciding to go home.
Megumi threw all the paper bags she was carrying into the middle of her car.
He hit the steering wheel powerfully many times.
Aurorae's happy-looking face made her hurt.
The woman's flat expression also made her angry.
Moreover, the smile that he deliberately showed, made Megumi want to claw her face.
After a little calm and her breathing began to be regular, Megumi drove her car out of the mall parking lot to go home.
