The Roof You Promised
Section 43 - Back to Work
Herjuno stepped quickly into the house. Just arrived at the front door, it was clear the tears of the twins were earthy. He rushed up the stairs without paying attention to the surroundings.
The rumilar that was at the dinner table was just a head gink.
"Ah, Daddy's son why are you crying." Herjuno throws the original bag onto the sofa, then steps closer to Aurorae who is holding the two babies with his right and left hands.
"Mas, take a shower and change your clothes." Aurorae glared at him making Herjuno chuckle.
"I'll look at them for a while" he said, then turned to his room to take a shower and change.
Only about ten minutes cleaning his body in the bathroom, Herjuno then came out and found Aurorae who was preparing clothes for him.
"Have the kids calmed down?" he asked while grabbing a T-shirt that Aurorae had just put on the bed.
"Yes, Ryan's sleeping. And Ryana's in Bi Izza's arms." Aurorae sat on the bed.
"You're so busy today?" Aurorae asked as she watched her husband who was wearing shorts.
"hum. Mr. Thomas visiting so the office is a little busy."
"I went to the hospital with Bi Izza" Aurorae said as Herjuno sat next to her.
Herjuno. "Why? Are you sick?"
This time the Aurorae looked confused. "Mas, did I forget? today's schedule of control to the pediatrician. So I brought the kids. I even sent a message last night."
"Ah I'm sorry, I completely forgot." Herjuno chose a safe answer even though he did not even know about the message Aurorae mentioned.
Megumi must have read it. Herjuno did not want to provoke a commotion.
"It's okay, you must have been so busy that this afternoon I didn't tell you anymore either. Sorry, yeah."
Herjuno pulled Aurorae into his arms. "What did the doctor say?"
"good. Healthy children, only given a schedule of some mandatory vaccines until they are two years old."
Herjuno stroked the apex of the Aurorae's head. "Come to the children's room. I miss them so much" he said, then briefly peeked at Aurorae's left cheek.
Aurorae goes downstairs to take Ryana, while Herjuno goes into the children's room.
Ryan was sleeping in bed. Both hands he lifted to the side of the ear.
"Haiiishh you're really Dad's son." he muttered with anxiety as he realized his son's sleeping style was very similar to his.
He pinched softly on Ryan's right cheek which was starting to look puffed up. So anxious.
Not long after Aurorae entered in her arms, Ryana, and Herjuno took over. Spend the night playing together.
He just came down for dinner, then came back. Read a fairy tale book for Ryana and Ryan who suddenly wake up.
Herjuno actually paid for the three days he spent without the twins.

Time goes by very fast. The twins are now six months old.
Aurorae almost never leave the house. Only occasionally if you have to go to the supermarket or to the hospital for immunization of children. He never even went to the shophouse at all. Luckily there are Dira who can fulltime manage the catering and frozen food business that they pioneered. Being Aurorae, just taking care of her finances, and that she could do from home.
"Mas, can I start at the shop again once in a while? The children's endurance is getting stronger, so it doesn't seem like a problem taking them out." asked Aurorae one night.
"Yes, but not too often, hum? I worry a lot if you're out of the house."
Herjuno clenched tightly to the Aurorae that was peeling in his chest. Since the birth of the twins, they have rarely spent time quietly like this. Now the bigger the twins the smarter, especially since there is food intake into their bodies , the sleep has been calmer and only woke up occasionally to ask for breast milk.
"Yes . I won't be around for long, just to have a discussion with Dira and Mbak Dea once in a while."
Herjuno. "Don't be too tired during the day, you need extra energy when I'm home." It flipped its body and as fast as lightning overcame the Aurorae.
"Mas!" Aurorae gave an amused goosebumps when she saw Herjuno showing off a sweet smile that looked like a threat.
