The Roof You Promised
Section 76 - Picnic

Herjuno lay staring at the ceiling of his room with both hands behind his head. The surroundings were dark, there was only a hint of light from the garden lights across from his room. He smiled faintly. Having lunch alone with Aurorae, this afternoon was the first time since their divorce eighteen years ago. During this time Aurorae too keep her distance, not giving the slightest chance for Herjuno to regain her attention.

But this afternoon, Herjuno clearly saw the wrong look of his ex-wife's behavior. Aurorae is still beautiful, despite her age of forty-one. And the look of a nervous and timid face like that, was one that was adorable in Herjuno's eyes.

I don't know. But if Dad and the kids don't mind, maybe I'll consider.

That was the answer this afternoon when Herjuno again asked for the opportunity to start their relationship.

A gumilar? Of course, I agree directly. Though Herjuno had prepared himself if his former father-in-law was throwing painful spicy sentences, but in fact not.

Sure oes. What are you worried about? If Rae accepts you, I'll be happy.

Herjuno grunted softly. In his head revolved one by one the scene today. Tomorrow, he'll try to talk to Ryan and Ryan. The kids will be happy, right?

Herjuno grabbed his phone on the nightstand. At one in the morning, but he was not sleepy at all. His heart was pounding, after he spoke to the children tomorrow, Aurorae would return to be his. Didn't they? Just imagining it makes him nervous.

If the kids agree, then I'll propose to you tomorrow and we'll get married as soon as possible. I can't wait.

A message he sent to Aurorae's mobile number, before forcing his eyes to rest.

Ryana is chin-backed at the mini bar while staring at the busy Aurorae in the kitchen. She already looks very beautiful, floral dress with a length slightly below the knee she chose after since morning blind took out all stock of clothes from her closet. His wavy hair on the bottom he let down to the waist, do not forget the thin bangs that make it look beautiful and adorable.

"Don't forget the strawberries, ma'am." Ryana reminded when Aurorae was busy putting various fruits into a supply box.

"That's a big deal, not helping." Ryan who suddenly appeared behind Ryana grumbled.

Ryana. "Phone Dad, Bang. Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Ryan rolled his eyes lazily. "It's even seven in the morning" he replied as he grabbed a piece of fresh bread that had been smeared with peanut butter.

"Later we're late, the streets will be jammed."

"Who's on the street this Wednesday? Just Dad, for ditching work." Ryan and Ryan chuckled.

Herjuno did take a leave of absence today because he wanted to go for a walk with his two children. Only them, without the Aurorae.

Herjuno did not come long. With a sky blue polo shirt and short, knee-length black pants make him look very handsome. Don't forget the white sneakers, who would have thought this man was forty-six.

"I'll make sure to marry you soon." Herjuno's whisper in Aurorae's ear as the children get into the car.

Aurorae. "I'm looking forward to it."

Gosh darn. Is this Aurorae? A woman who keeps her distance from all men? Look at the way it bites the lower lip to muffle the sound, very sexy. Damnit damnit! Herjuno even forgot to blink.

Um. Herjuno cleared his throat to cover up his nervousness. "Be prepared! I won't waste any more time" he said before actually getting in the car.
