The Roof You Promised
Part 45 - Staring at Iba

Aurorae approached Herjuno who was just staring at her.

"Good, this is my perfume. I'm sorry, I'm not looking for it right." Aurorae flaunted her row of white teeth and then blinked her eyes in agitation. Remembrance a few months ago made Herjuno the target of his frustration at not finding his favorite perfume.

Aurorae was about to bend down to pick up her belongings but stopped because Herjuno pulled hard next to his arm until Aurorae stood up as before.

He looked at Herjuno in astonishment, the man was like he was angry.

Herjuno pushed the paper he had been holding onto Aurorae's chest. "Explain!" he spoke with a sharp and cold voice. Don't forget the look in his eyes that seemed like he wanted to swallow the Aurorae alive.

Aurorae read it carefully. Then immediately swerve. His hands shook and his breath was wheezing.

"Mas , what is this?" tears just fell on both of his cheeks.

"That's what I want to ask, what is this?" Herjuno did not warm up, his gaze was still intimidating.

"Mas , what do you mean-"

"You don't know why it's in your bag? You never did any tests on me and the kids? You don't understand why this happened? And you don't know how to explain it to me? That so?" His voice rose up, snapping at Aurorae loudly.

Aurorae just sobbing.

"Who?"

"WHO'S THEIR DAD?" Jerk Herjuno because Aurorae just shut up and cry.

Aurorae. "Mas. i-"

"Don't touch me!" Herjuno pulled the rough of his arm which was almost grabbed by Aurorae.

"I really love you. I did everything I could to be with you. I'm also willing to have all of mine disappear as long as you and the kids don't. I'll sacrifice anything, even my life. How could you do this to me, Rae." Herjuno felt tight, his throat choked.

Aurorae knew Herjuno was holding back his cries. That guy must have been hurt a lot.

Herjuno took a deep breath.

"Aurorae Genina, today I Herjuno Ardhi dropped a talaq on you with full awareness. From this second on, you are no longer my wife." she said slowly, staring deep at Aurorae.

"Mas!"

"I'll take care of our divorce in court." Herjuno turned around, leaving Aurorae just like that.

Below, he had passed Bi Izza but ignored him.

Aurorae is on the floor. Scratch the paper firmly in his hand while sobbing.

Dea parked his car carelessly in the garage of Aurorae's house. He quickly ran towards the front door in the row with Dira behind him.

Without saying hello, Dea pushed the door open. But before he could go inside, he turned to the fence, and saw Gumilar who came down from the travel car. It also seemed to have come immediately upon being contacted by Bi Izza, just like her.

"I'm sorry, Dea, Om. She was very disrespectful" he said condolently because her brother just ran without saying hello.

Gumilar just nodded while patting Dira slowly on the shoulder and then went inside. His heart was also uneasy not calm.

While in the room, Dea immediately hugged the sobbing Aurorae on the bed.

"It's okay. Its alright. There's me, there's us. It's okay." That's all Dea said many times while stroking Aurorae's back.

"It's okay. Everything's gonna be fine. It's okay." He kept repeating it for some time until Gumilar and Dira went into the room.

Aurorae descended to hug Gumilar, but not long his body slumped to the floor to hug his father's feet while continuing to sob.

Gumilar pulled both of Aurorae's arms back up, then hugged her tightly.

"Crying a lot. It's okay" he said holding back the tightness, then guiding Aurorae to sit back on her bed.

Dira came out without saying anything. He chose to go into the children's room. Helping Bi Izza look after the twins who, like her mother, understood her condition, were very calm and did not cry at all two hours ago.

Dira will stay tonight. She had agreed earlier with Dea because her brother was unlikely to stay over considering he had a husband and two children at home.

Lucky stock of milk in the freezer is more than enough even for the next month.

**

Gumilar crumpled the paper of DNA test results between Herjuno and the twins. It says that their DNA does not match, Herjuno is not the biological father of Ryan and Ryana.

He sighed softly. His heart ached to see the Aurorae so badly. Moreover, Aurorae did not know why the paper was in her bag and Herjuno who accidentally found it.

Gumilar took another breath. Just put the paper on Aurorae's nightstand. He came out following his daughter who was in the children's room.

"Rae, eat first. You have to stay healthy for the kids." Gumilar gently rubbed the Aurorae's head.

"Let the children be guarded Dira for a while. Don't worry, Dira will stay." he said again.

Dira nodded.

It's almost nine in the evening, but the Aurorae haven't eaten yet. Dea came home two hours ago.

"Eat first, I will accompany the children." Dira rubs slowly on Aurorae's arm. After all only Ryan hasn't slept yet, so it won't be too much of a hassle.

Aurorae moved on without saying anything. He's out to eat. True, his father said, he must stay healthy for the children.

"Dira, thank you." Gumilar smiled and followed Aurorae out.

And the woman just smiled, staring pity at the door of the room before turning to Ryan in her bed.
