The Roof You Promised
Section 34 - Will Give Birth

It had been two months since Aurorae's fury.

During that time, the Aurorae did not change. His attitude was still cold, even when he smiled not the happiness that seemed, but the pain and disappointment that was increasingly apparent.

Herjuno realized that.

I don't know how many times he apologized, promising not to repeat again, but Aurorae flinch.

Aurorae never asked Herjuno for anything.

Once upon a time, Herjuno forgot his payday. It had been two days, but Aurorae had never asked about her monthly money. If it wasn't for Megumi who reminded 'em, Herjuno would have absolutely no recollection.

And when Herjuno said he had sent monthly money to Aurorae's account, his second wife simply replied Thank you. Unlike the previous months, there was always a series of prayers that he said.

Thank you, Mas. May your sustenance be blessed. May you be healthy always born and inward. I pray you are always happy.

And also hopefully I can manage your giving money well.

That's what Aurorae says every month. But not in the last two months.

Aurorae also never asked Herjuno to accompany her to the obstetrician. Herjuno must really remember the schedule of his wife's doctor visit if he does not want to be left behind. Aurorae will choose to go alone, if Herjuno does not come.

"Stop being Rae's childish. Aren't you tired?" Herjuno raised his tone.

Today again Aurorae chose to go alone to the obstetrician, lucky Herjuno followed and arrived just before Aurorae got a turn in.

"If you're tired of going home, no one is forcing you to come Mas." his gaze was flat, no smile or whining.

Aurorae immediately opens her car door, but is arrested by Herjuno.

"You didn't hear what the doctor said? The time to give birth is getting closer, you can at any time experience contractions. And your control should be once a week now. Stop being so angry, so I can take care of you properly." Herjuno scolded the Aurorae with a slight snatch. Indeed, he began to get tired, until when to understand the childish attitude of Aurorae.

Aurorae slammed the car door that had been opened.

"I'm grumpy? Which part do you call me angry?" Aurorae stared no less sharply.

Herjuno. "I've apologized so many times to Ta-"

"WHICH PART DO YOU CALL ME ANGRY?" Aurorae repeated her question again, with a higher tone of speech.

"It's good I just kept my distance from you. Do you want me to whine at you when you hurt me so much? That's right!" Aurorae wastes her rough breath.

"Thank God I'm just quiet instead of scolding you all out. Listen, sir, this world is not yours if you hurt someone else and then you want that person to forgive you and forget the pain." Aurorae lowered her tone. Slow, but full of emphasis.

"I apologize to you many times, how else ag-"

"For which mistake did you apologize for?" Cut the Aurorae again.

"Because you didn't take me to the doctor? Or for not giving me the news until night? Or because you're prioritizing your first wife who's dying? Is he seriously ill? To the point that you don't even remember calling me. For which one, sir?" the Aurorae voice began to tremble.

And Herjuno is silent. True, which actually makes him feel guilty. And mana , which hurt Aurorae the most.

He looked at Aurorae's face, clearly visible the woman was holding back her crying. Blinked just once, then water must have spilled from both eyes.

"You even forgot your promise to have someone move my stuff to the room downstairs." Aurorae laughed softly. Not a happy laugh, a lot of disappointment is seen there.

Herjuno gasped again. Right, he forgot about it.

"If I can, I want to leave you. To be honest, it all makes me sick. And now you're saying I'm a child?" Aurorae. Opened his car door and passed from there without waiting for Herjuno to answer all his questions.

**

He bit his lips slowly to endure the pain.

Wanting to call Bi Izza - the sister of Bi Ita-but the pain made her tongue cuckoo.

Aurorae stretched out her hand, gently nudging the glass that was on the small table.

Prang.

Sure enough, the sound of the fall of the glass made Bi Izza stirred up to him.

"Rae, what's wrong?" With a tiptoe avoiding the broken glass Bi Izza approached the Aurorae.

Aurorae just grimaced. With fixed hands holding his stomach and squeezing the bed sheet.

"Wait a minute." The forty-year-old woman ran out, asking for help from a neighbor next door who happened to greet her several times.

Aurorae was swept out by Bu Widya, while Bi Izza grabbed a bag that had been prepared from far away to be taken to the hospital.

Not forgetting Aurorae's wallet and cell phone lying on the dresser.

"Za, how's it going?" Gumilar came in half running down the hospital aisle.

"Rae inside sir, it's opening seven." Bi Izza.

Bi Ita , the older sister of Bi Izza is a woman who helped the housework of Gumilar's residence while still in Bandung. Then when Gumilar and Aurorae decided to move to the outskirts of Garut ' district, Bi Ita did not hesitate to join because it happened to be his hometown. Having worked with the Gumilar family for a long time, Aurorae was very close to Bi Ita and his family.

And now, his sister is helping out at the Aurorae and Herjuno residence.

"Where's Herjuno?"

Bi Izza shook her head. "I don't know his cell phone number, sir. And this, Rae's phone is locked."

"Herjuno hasn't called in three hours?" it's been three hours since Aurorae was taken to the hospital.

Bi Izza shook his head.

The look on Gumilar's face turned rough. He reached for the cell phone in his pocket.

"Hello, Dad." Herjuno's voice across there, just after his call was lifted.

"Where are you?"

"In the office, Dad. Do you need anything?"

"Are you busy?"

"No, I just finished lunch."

Gumilar hardened his jaw. "Aurorae in the hospital. It's been three hours. Bi Izza can't reach you, so he's just holding Aurorae's phone in case you call but it doesn't."
