The Roof You Promised
Part 35 - The Twins

From a distance, Herjuno half ran towards Gumilar and Bi Izza. His breathing was wheezing, and the sweat was already full wetting his forehead.

"Well, how's Rae?" he asked when he arrived before Gumilar.

Gumilar simply flicked his chin towards the delivery room before him.

Despite his annoyance, he did not want to make a fuss here.

Herjuno had not yet opened the door of the delivery room, there was a loud sound of crying babies from inside the room.

Herjuno. His feet immediately squeezed. He fell right in front of the door.

Gumilar. Crouching in front of his daughter-in-law.

"Dad, is that my son's cry?" his voice vibrates.

Gumilar knew, Herjuno held back his tears.

"Calm yourself. Take a deep breath. You should go inside to accompany your wife."

Herjuno took a deep breath. He looked up many times so that his tears would not spill. Occasionally, the water still forced out, Herjuno rubbed it rough. Then a moment later tightly hugged his father-in-law's feet.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Dad."

Gumilar just nodded. Then pat Herjuno's shoulder gently. "Come in."

"I'm a lot guilty of Aurorae. I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry."

"Come in. Rae inside must need you." Again, Gumilar patted his daughter-in-law's shoulder gently.

Just now Herjuno stood up, heard again the sound of baby crying which this time was firmer than before.

Herjuno and Gumilar looked at each other.

Both of them think what the same baby sounds like. Why does it sound a little different.

Herjuno quickly opened the door of the delivery room.

He saw Aurorae's face that looked clearly exhausted.

"Are you her husband?" a Doctor who was treating Aurorae asked.

Herjuno just nodded. Not spitting out a word, his throat choked.

The doctor smiled. Herjuno signs are not prohibited from being in the room.

"I'm sorry. I'm late to arrive. I'm sorry." He slowly kissed the Aurorae's head.

"You can punish me later. I'm sorry hum?" Herjuno did not let go of his embrace.

A few nurses were there, smiling little.

"Mas, I want to drink." Aurorae's voice sounded very weak.

Herjuno grabbed a bottle of water with a straw on the table. And Aurorae gulped it down almost half a bottle.

Herjuno hugged Aurorae again. "I'm sorry hum?". That's all he said so many times.

"Sir, please open the shirt so that the baby can skin to skin with his father." a nurse approached.

Herjuno according to him. Quickly open one by one the buttons of his shirt, then put the origin next to the head of the Aurorae.

The little baby was placed on his stomach on Herjuno's chest. His back was wrapped in a thin blanket. In his father's arms, the baby squirms slowly, with a fist moving to and fro.

"What a handsome son, sir." a nurse praised.

Herjuno just smiled and looked at his son with teary eyes.

I'm sorry, I must have hurt you too. His mind while gently rubbing his son's cheek.

He looked at the tiny face above his chest. Ah, her nose is exactly the one that belongs to Aurorae.

But a second later, his gaze turned on a nurse who was carrying another baby into the lap of the Aurorae.

Like earlier, the nurse placed the baby's stomach on Aurorae's chest.

"Ah, so beautiful." the nurse muttered softly with a smile. "Let the baby learn to look for putinng sussu his mother ya ma'am." she continued again, before going out.

"Wait for Sus, are our babies twins?" Herjuno asked the question because he saw Aurorae was not surprised at all.

The doctor there chuckled. "Yes, sir, the baby's twins. Men and Women. The male, born three minutes earlier than the female."

Aurorae glanced at her husband. Whether Herjuno knew the baby was twins or not. The last time she accompanied Aurorae was at the age of five months, then again in the two weeks before giving birth. In the midst of their cold war.

Herjuno did not even accompany her to buy baby supplies. Aurorae always went alone, and if it was finally caught by her husband, it would end in a commotion. That's how it has been for the last three months

But this time the Aurorae won't count. All her injuries in the last few months paid off a few minutes ago when she delivered both babies.
