The Roof You Promised
Section 38 - The Threes Deal

"You're bound to be troubled when the kids wake up at night." Herjuno tugged the Aurorae tightly into his arms.

"There's Bi Izza Mas. No need to worry. Some days Bi Izza never comes at night knowing you're with me." Aurorae rubbed Herjuno's back.

It's good that Herjuno went back to Megumi's house. Some days her husband is not sleeping properly. Every time the twins woke up, Herjuno always woke up accompanying Aurorae to calm her children.

Herjuno was getting closer to his wife's body.

"I'm honestly afraid you're angry. I don't want us to fight anymore" he said slowly.

Aurorae. "Mas, I'm sorry. Have I been making things difficult for you lately?"

Herjuno quickly shook his head strongly. Aurorae felt the movement of the man's head on her shoulder. "Not at all. I know, I hurt you a lot. I don't want to anymore, even if not intentionally."

Aurorae sighed. "We're both learning again huh , to better understand each other, hum?"

Herjuno. "I really want to make you happy, Rae. Believe it."

"I'm happy, Mom." Aurorae pulled both of Herjuno's arms. She moved a little away so she could look at her husband.

"Go home, you have Haidar too. He must miss you." he continued, staring into Herjuno's bead.

Aurorae was smiling too. I want to make sure he is okay.

"Let's stay at Megumi's house for a few days so you can rest properly" he continued.

Finally that night Herjuno went home to Megumi. Right too, Haidar must have missed him. Luckily Aurorae did not whine around, so she could go home quietly without much thought.

Herjuno arrived home almost ten in the evening. Around the house was dim, a sign that everyone was asleep. Bi Lilis went straight back into her room after opening the door for Herjuno.

Herjuno opened Haidar's room door first. Approaching the boy with a curl, then kissed his forehead slowly before coming out.

In her room, Megumi had also closed her eyes. Herjuno gently pulled Megumi's blanket up to his neck, gently rubbing his wife's head. Then go into the bathroom.

When the sound of the bathroom door closing, Megumi opened her eyes. And it was just then, tears escaped falling onto her cheeks.

He rubbed it rough.

Should I ask you to come home first?

It's so evil of you.

Megumi could only complain in her heart, she hurriedly closed her eyes again.

Throughout breakfast, Megumi bends her face. He did not respond at all to Herjuno's joke with Haidar. And Herjuno knows, this must be about last night. About Herjuno who has not been home for days.

"Bi, this morning please take Haidar to school. It's okay, right?" Herjuno.

And Bi Lilis just nodded. Never denied anything.

Megumi glanced at her husband. He knew, if it was so certain Herjuno wanted to say something important.

At seven or less fifteen minutes Bi Lilis with Haidar, Zhafran, and Nadia departed. Herjuno gave him money for taxi fare. It just so happened that Nadia's school with Zhafran and Haidar's school was unidirectional.

"I'm sorry." Herjuno opened the conversation shortly after closing the front door.

Megumi flinching.

Herjuno grabbed his wife's wrist to sit on the living room sofa.

"I'm sorry, hum? I didn't forget you and Haidar. It's just, Aurorae's having trouble just giving birth." Herjuno rubbed his wife's head gently.

"I gave you permission to remarry because you promised to be fair. It's our deal, once every three days you're going home." Megumi glanced at her husband's cynics.

"I know , but Aurorae ak-"

"Aurorae Aurorae! That woman did not end up hurting me. And it looks like , the baby is too. Will hurt my son!" Megumi squealed in annoyance."

"Stop it, Me ! I don't want to fight. I told you, I'm guilty. Ii'm sorry. Why do we always mention Aurorae in our quarrels?" Herjuno was no less upset. She tried to speak well but Megumi did not understand. "And don't bring children in your personal feelings!" continued again.

"Look, you've always stood up for that woman. And now, there's also his son who will rule over you!"

"Listen, I'll only talk once. I'm afraid I'll hurt you more if I talk longer." Herjuno sighed.

"The three of us did agree, I came here three days each. But look at the situation. Aurorae just gave birth, she-"

Megumi. And immediately stood about to pass, but Herjuno held him back.

"Remember, when you were sick I also left Aurorae on the second day to accompany you here. Don't forget that! At that time you needed me to accompany you to the doctor right? L came. You know, I even forgot my promise to Aurorae to take her to the gynecologist. So stop feeling like you're the only one who's ignored."

After saying that, Herjuno passed out to go to his office.
