The Roof You Promised
Part 4 - Let's End

“Rae.. please lift.” Herjuno sighed in frustration. Throughout this journey he kept trying to contact Aurorae, but never once answered. I don't know how many times he tried to call. He's getting restless. In a few minutes he will arrive at his home. She was hoping to talk to her boyfriend before she actually got home . Before facing a fight with Megumi who is definitely waiting for him. But nil , like Megumi, it seems Aurorae is equally hurt.

Herjuno gave a rough sigh. His car had entered the fence of his house that was not closed. He picked up the briefcase and suit from the bench next door, deciding to come out reluctantly.

“ Papa is home? “ Haidar , his only son running cheerfully towards him.

“ I waited for Papa since earlier. “ he said again after successfully hugging his Papa's leg.

“ Oh yes? Does Haidar miss Papa?” Herjuno squatted parallel to the height of his 4-year-old son.

“ No , I just want to get ice cream on top.” Haidar chuckled as Herjuno tickled his waist.

“ Haidar waiting for Papa just to get eskrim? Where's Bi Lilis and Mama?”.

“Bi Lilis has been home since noon , he said he did not come back because Abang Zhafran was sick. Mama was in the room, just came out to bathe me, and then came in again. “ Haidar pursed his lips.

“Alright , come Papa's get it.” Said Herjuno directly carrying his son.

**

“Do you sleep? “ asked Herjuno to find his wife sleeping on their back door.

Herjuno sighed harshly because his question received no response, but he knew his wife was not really sleeping.

“At least don't ignore Haidar. He's still too small to be able to take care of himself.”

Hid. Megumi.

“Stop pretending to be a good husband and father. “ replied Megumi finally , still turning her back on Herjuno.

“I'm not a good husband, be angry if you want to be angry. But don't ignore Haidar. Pay attention to him , make sure he is always in your sight.” Herjuno.

“I ignored Haidar? Aren't you ashamed to say it? Four years I've been her mother, I've been looking after her all day. Why suddenly question the way I nurtured her? Just because your rottenness and ***** are exposed, don't look for my faults to cover up your foul behavior. “ Megumi yells while looking at her husband's nyalang. Not to forget the hand held out in front of Herjuno's face.

Herjuno grabbed Megumi's index finger in front of him. Squeezing strong.

“Please your voice.” Herjuno stared no less haggardly.

“ Why? You're afraid Haidar knows what kind of man this Papa is? “ Megumi undaunted.

Herjuno took off his hand. Free to argue, Megumi is not in a state of being able to master her emotions.

“ What do you want? If you want to talk, let's talk. If not, then ignore me. I don't want to fight, especially in front of Haidar.”

“ You're really selfish Juno. After hurting me like this, I can't be mad at you? Did that woman instigate you again this afternoon after I met you? Did she complain that I scolded her huh?” Megumi again lost control.

Herjuno sighed again. Then sit on the bed next to Megumi. He grabbed his wife's hand, he held it gently. Megumi let it go.

“ Me.. listen. Get angry. I am guilty indeed. But please, not when Haidar might hear your voice. If you want to vent your anger on me, let's find a place outside the house. It can be at a hotel or anywhere. So you can be as angry as you are. You love Haidar, don't you? I'm same. Let's control ourselves so as not to hurt him. Hem?.” Herjuno spoke very softly. Until Megumi momentarily melted. She just sobbed softly as she returned the hand of her husband.

“ And again please, stop just blaming Aurorae. I am guilty too, very guilty. I'm the one who hurt you the most. Today he did not go to the office, how could he instigate me.” Said again.

Hearing Herjuno defend the woman, Megumi again inflamed. She hempas rough hand of her husband.

“ Stop defending him , Herjuno Ardhi ! I don't know what the lady**** has done until you never get tired of defending her. I'm your wife, your wife if you forget!” Megumi shouted uncontrollably. Herjuno pushed with all his strength. Throwing a bolster pillow that was within reach of his hand.

“ Mom.. Why is Mom crying? “ knock on the door from the outside coupled with the voice of his son who asked while crying too.

“ Are you satisfied? Haidar cried listen. You are really. “ annoyed Herjuno snapped with a stifled voice.

“ Haidar Haidar Haidar since you made Haidar a weapon to blame me. “ Megumi doesn't care anymore.

“ Silent. You left the fence and the main door open. Haidar plays alone without any adults watching. You are busy with your own feelings. I'm just warning you, don't let it be because of you, Haidar is hurt. “

Herjuno gripped his wife's jaw. Slow down, not even cause marks, not hurt either. But being treated like that made Megumi's heart even more hurt.

Herjuno immediately stepped open the door, his step out of the room while slowly closing the door of his room. In front of the room was Haidar who was crying sobbing. Herjuno exhaled slowly. She squatted her alignment with her son's height.

“ Haidar why are you crying here? “ swipe it slowly on both arms of Haidar.

“ Papa , why is Mama crying?”

“ Mama crying? No, mama is sleeping inside , why did Haidar say Mama was crying? “ lied. At this time it is no longer heard the sound of Megumi's sobs in there.

“ Haidar heard someone crying in Papa's room. That's Mama.”'s voice The answer is still with a sob.

“ Not. Haidar misheard. Mama is sleeping. Let's wait for Mama in the back garden. If we are noisy, Mama will wake up. “ Herjuno takes his son to the park.

“ Alright.. Papa get , Haidar wait in the park okay?” Haidar nodded and ran cheerfully towards the garden behind his house.

Herjuno looked at his son's back with pity. I don't know what he's thinking now.

**

Herjuno hurriedly entered his office building. Her hasty steps caught the attention of everyone who was in the lobby this morning. Staring astonished at Herjuno, the article is still thirty minutes away until the office entry hours begin.

Arriving on the fourth floor, he rushed out of the elevator and turned to the left. There are several divisions placed on the fourth floor, to the left of the elevator is the Marketing division, where Herjuno serves as Marketing Manager and Aurorae as one of its staff. Not much room there. There are only cubicles neatly arranged, for approximately forty Marketing division staff. And on the right side is a room for Manager, Herjuno's room.

“ What Aurorae has not come? “ Ask Farhan , one of his staff after his gaze went around but did not find the woman he was looking for.

“ Looks like it hasn't been sir. “ replied Farhan with a probing gaze that Herjuno didn't realize. Farhan already knew there was a special relationship between his Manager and Aurorae, the woman who caught his attention. In addition to Farhan, several other staff members also realized that there was an unusual relationship between the two people.

“ Ask him to my room when it comes.” Tell Herjuno as he turned around, then headed to his room.

Farhan just nodded slowly.

**

Aurorae stepped slowly into the company building where she worked. For the first time in his life, he hopes to be fired from his job. For filing for resignation is impossible, the contract he signed eighteen months ago, obliging him to pay a fine penalty if he resigns. Ten times the salary he receives each month. There are still six months left until the contract expires.

“ Hang on Rae. Just six months. “ his heart cheers for yourself.

The closer he gets to his cubicle, the more he slows down his pace. His heart is beating so fast. Indeed, he hoped that he would not have to meet Herjuno today. He was afraid of weakening, a decision he had been thinking about since last night he was afraid of denying it himself.

“ Huft.. “ Aurorae exhales slowly while dropping her buttocks on her chair. Today he is determined to stay away from Herjuno.

“ Rae.. You just arrived? “ Farhan asked quietly while standing behind his cubicle which was only one table away from the Aurorae table.

“ Hem..” Aurorae turned her head, then nodded slowly.

“ Mr. Juno was looking for you this morning. Come in. , he told you to meet him immediately when he came.” Farhan delivered the message he heard this morning. He turned his chin towards Herjuno's room.

“ Really? Has he come so early? Ah.. “ Aurorae glared at Farhan while sighing in frustration. With the fingers massaging his temples slowly.

Farhan nodded, staring in surprise.

“ What's the problem?”

“Ah , no.. “ Aurorae rising from her seat. Slowly, he walked into his manager's room. Like reluctant.

Farhan who was watching the movements of the woman stared in disbelief. Usually Aurorae will be very excited, entering the manager's room cheerfully.

“ Did they fight? Just disconnect please. “ muttered Farhan in his heart.

**

Tok to tok.

Herjuno raised his head. Looked at the door for a moment.

“Come.” He answered slowly while then focusing on the files before him.

“What did you look for me?” Aurorae lowered her face.

Herjuno quickly raised his head again after hearing the voice he had longed for.

He immediately stood up, walking quickly to his lover.

“Honey... I miss you”. Both of his hands were ready to grab Aurorae's body into his arms.

But before it had time for that hand to actually grab it, Aurorae retreated slowly.

“ Please don't touch me.” He said with trembling lips.

Herjuno. Staring in disbelief at the woman in front of him.

“ Dear... What's up?”

Aurorae braced herself to raise her face. He looked at the man in front of him.

“ Let's stop. We end it all enough to get here. “
