The Roof You Promised
Section 40 - Close Your Mouth
Megumi sculpting. Letting Herjuno go out to sleep in Haidar's room. Shortly after Herjuno closed the door, his body slumped to the floor.
Don't you think I never know.
Herjuno's last words were ringing in Megumi's ears.
What does Juno know?
No. gabe. It can't be about Satya, right?
A lot of questions are dancing in Megumi's head. True, there is no way Herjuno is just silent if all this time he knows Megumi is in a relationship with Satya.
Since then they talked about Megumi who always met her friends. What Herjuno means is that, Megumi's habit of gathering with her friends until she forgets time.
"Yes, that must be it. It can't be about Satya." muttered Megumi calmed herself down.

"Did Papa hug me all night?" Haidar asked again the same question whether it had been to how many times.
Herjuno nodded while chuckling softly.
"Not hugging Brother Zhafran right?" Haidar does not believe.
And Herjuno's laughter exploded. "Certainly hugging Haidar, Brother Zhafran is already too big, the bed does not fit for both."
Haidar hurriedly nodded. "Hum, right!"
Megumi simply chewed her breakfast in silence. Not daring to respond to Haidar's joke with Herjuno. She did not dare to ask her husband anything.
"Today Haidar wants to go for a walk?" Herjuno rubbed his lips softly filled with food crumbs.
"You!" cheers happy. "To the mall can't you?"
"Can. Want to buy something?" Herjuno shifted his already empty plate.
"Yes, want a robot that can turn into a car like Saka's." Haidar mentioned one of the names of friends at his school.
"Can. We'll buy 'em, hum?"
"Yeah! Can Brother Zhafran come?" tanyanya sumringah made Megumi suddenly glared dislike, but did not dare to interrupt.
While Bi Lilis who heard from a distance, sighed faintly.
"Can. It's Saturday, Brother Zhafran is also off school." Herjuno rattled his son's hair.
Zhafran who heard, smiled shyly. It feels very good, going for a walk around the mall even though it does not buy anything.
"Mak Nadia can also come" said Herjuno again. Then called Bi Lilis who was in the kitchen asking where Nadia why not take breakfast this morning.
"In the room, sir. It's okay, let's have breakfast in the kitchen."
"Call Nadia for breakfast, after that let me take the kids to the mall for a walk." Herjuno said gently making Megumi's eye movements even more upset.
"Let Nadia stay at home, sir."
"Kasian, Bi. Children need fresh air to avoid it. Maybe there's something he wants to buy." Herjuno did not accept rejection.
And Bi Lilis was too hesitant to refuse again. Finally he just nodded slowly and then called his daughter for breakfast.
Herjuno is very grateful to his family. His employer allowed him and his two children to live in this house. So he could save money on rent and food that had almost spent all his salary every month. Not to mention the needs of Zhafran and Nadia several times Herjuno gave for free. So now he can save more. His salary each month was used only a little.
"Mom can't come?" Megumi finally opened her voice after sliding her empty plate.
"May, if Mama is not busy. Is my mom having no important business today?" the boy asked innocently making Megumi snort.
"Nope-no. Mom's not busy." Somehow Megumi became nervous about being mentioned about her busyness.
"It doesn't matter if you're busy. Let the kids go with me." Herjuno is like stressing that he does not want Megumi to participate.
"Now, Haidar and Zhafran are getting ready while waiting for Nadia's mother to have breakfast." Herjuno said before Megumi answered even more, after seeing Nadia who went into the kitchen for breakfast.
"Good!" the two boys ran towards their room.
Herjuno stands up, leaving Megumi alone.
"Eat at the dinner table, Nad." said Herjuno as he passed through the kitchen to his room.
The girl only nodded her head, but did not move from where she was sitting.
Megumi just glanced at the dislike , then followed her husband into the room.
"Mas!" Megumi walked in with a cross on the chest.
Herjuno just looked. Then take out a hoodie from the closet.
"Can't I come?" Ask annoyed.
"Are you not very busy?" Herjuno was still busy wearing his hoodie.
"Stop insinuating me, Mom. I'm sorry if the one I met with my friends pisses you off." Megumi softens, doesn't want to make things worse.
Herjuno chuckled. "Spend your time with your friends. I don't care."
"Then you? Spending time with Nadia?" Megumi was no longer able to hide her frustration.
Nadia is a teenage girl, no longer a child. Their age is only about ten years. It's not natural that Megumi is worried.
Herjuno stopped his movement. Looking at and looking at Megumi.
"You're interested in that girl? Is she your third wife's candidate?" Megimu showed a cynical smile.
Herjuno quickly approached his wife. "Shut your mouth!"
