The Roof You Promised

The Roof You Promised
Section 30 - Don't Say Anything


After lunch, Farhan hurried to meet Herjuno in his room. In his hand there are two maps with different colors.


"How's it?" Herjuno looked anxiously at him.


"It turns out to be worse than we thought, sir. Rama has to have surgery this afternoon." Report Farhan while handing over the two maps he had brought.


Herjuno flipped around for a while to read some important passages.


"Begging Maudy to handle our client at two o'clock." Herjuno broke up quickly.


"Client Mirabeth Residence Bougenville 12-A can you handle? Only the building addition deal remains after the credit agreement."


"Good Sir. I'll prepare the file first, before meeting the client later this afternoon." Farhan nodded then went out with a gesture as Herjuno's phone rang.


He sighed softly as he came out of Herjuno's room and his eyes looked around looking for Maudy's figure.


"Cambodian client 9-B please handle yes. Two o'clock can this be, right?" Farhan handed over a map as he approached Maudy who was photocopying a file.


"We don't have any clue because Rama's condition is severe, had to operate. I don't have the heart if I have to bully him about work." Farhan glanced at his wrist anxiously. Approximately forty-five minutes more promised time to meet with clients.


And at that moment he also saw Herjuno who rushed out of his room.


"I have to go home now, my wife is sick. If there's any urge, call me." the message goes to Tita, who happens to be her closest table from Herjuno's room.


Aurorae's sick? What pain?


Maudy waved in front of Farhan's face, who continued to look at Herjuno until he disappeared inside the elevator.


"Hey! How could it not?" Maudy squealed right in Farhan's ear.


"Huh? What's?" The man blinked without guilt. "Can what?"


Maudy snorted in annoyance. "Dispose the Aurorae away from your head! He's been happy honeymoon to the 'moon, you're still in the corner while singing Moon tell me my miss to him ', Star convey my love to him..." he said while mimicking Farhan's discordant tone during karaoke last time.


"Abroad! Why am I singing like it-"


"Be quiet! I might as well end up in the corner with you if this project fails." Maudy passed by while pounding Farhan's arm with a pile of files she had just photocopied.


"Ask Farel no if he goes with me. I know he took care of the interior consultant with Rama before" he said again before actually passing to the toilet.


Farhan snorted violently. "The woman really is."

Aurorae looked at her phone anxiously. The message she sent to her husband two hours ago was not answered. Probably more than ten times he made the call, also not in the lift.


The wall clock has shown the number three past thirty minutes.


Today Herjuno promised to take her to the gynecologist after last night allowing her husband to return home to his first wife.


Thirty more minutes was the appointed time when he made an appointment with his obstetrician. And Herjuno could not be contacted.


Aurorae snatched an irritated car keys and her purse. He decided to go alone to the hospital without waiting for Herjuno again.


Aurorae driving with sobs. His heart hurts so much. I don't know what exactly her husband is doing so he can't return messages and also pick up calls.


Is there an important meeting?


Ah right. Mas Juno must have an important meeting because it's the end of the month. The office is busy.


Aurorae brushed away her tears. A smile slowly began to rise on his lips.


He grabbed a cell phone and called Dea.


"What's wrong? I'm very busy." She was never friendly when she answered the phone.


Aurorae.


"really? You're so busy? Can't you go home sooner?" Aurorae began to whine like a child.


"Now is my schedule to go to the gynecologist. Juno promised to deliver. But he did not answer the phone and did not reply to messages. Must be a very busy office and lots of impromptu meetings." Aurorae grunts slowly.


Dea blinked her eyes. What did he say ? Herjuno busy? The man even came home nearly three hours ago.


Dea took a slow breath as he remembered that afternoon Herjuno had rushed home because his wife was ill.


"What time is your doctor's visit scheduled? I'll accompany." Dea finally relented. He cleaned his messy work desk.


"Four hours a.m. Is it okay?" a very cheerful Aurorae voice. Dea is getting less and less.


"hum. I'll pick you up?"


"no need. Meet at the hospital. I'm on my way." he replied again.

"Rae's.." Someone said hello making Aurorae look up.


"Farhan. What are you doing here?" Aurorae smilingly looked at Farhan and picked up her bag which she had stored on the bench next door.


Farhan. What does it mean that Aurorae allows him to sit?


Farhanpun dropped his butt next to Aurorae.


"Incompanying Rama. His parents haven't come so there's no family representative."


"Is Rama sick?" ask Aurorae.


Indeed, many of his office friends used to be overseas. Live alone in the city of Bandung to work, away from family.


Farhan nodded. "Who's fighting with. I met him already battered in the hospital."


Aurorae. Rama fight?


"How's the condition?"


"Get in the operating room fifteen minutes ago. You're on your own, what are you doing?" Farhan turned towards Aurorae.


"Ah, I just controlled the contents" he replied while rubbing the stomach. "Waiting for Ma'am Dea to make up for the medicine." his chin poked towards Dea who was talking to the apothecary a few meters in front of them.


Farhan. "With Madam Dea?"


Wasn't Pak Juno in a hurry because his wife was sick, why Aurorae even went with Dea. But the woman did not look sad at all.


"Gum." Aurorae. "Mas Juno must be very busy because it's the end of the month" he continued, smiling.


Farhan scratched his non-itchy nape. He stood up as Dea approached them.


"You here?" Dea says hello.


"Yes, accompany Rama."


"Ah right, I haven't told you Rama's hurt." Dea patted Aurorae's arm. "We all see it's okay?" tanyakanya.


Aurorae just nodded.


"Just entered the operating room fifteen minutes ago, said the doctor more or less need three to four hours." Farhan told while glancing at his wrist.


It's 16:30 . It's too late to wait until Rama gets out of the operating room.


"Then we come back tomorrow." Aurorae. He could not have come home late at night in his easily tired condition like now.


Dea also agreed. Before they actually moved, Farhan had a glance with a questionable gaze toward Dea.


"Don't say anything." Whisper to Farhan with a little slab.
