"Mommy, Daddy..." The voice made Tiana and Rivanno gasp in shock. The two spontaneously let go of their embrace. Tiana turned around and wiped her tears, while Rivanno immediately turned her head towards the child.
"What's up, baby?" rivanno asked with a deep smile. Act like everything is okay.
"I-I just wanted to ask if, Mom, and Dad saw my book?" asked the boy with a confused look on his face.
"What book, baby?"
"The journal book I showed Daddy last week, remember? I can't find it anywhere."
"really? Maybe you forgot to keep it. Did you check on the usual shelf you kept?"
"It has. But I can't find it anywhere. Is the book missing?"
"The book is there, baby. Mommy kept it on your study table. Maybe it's mixed up with another book, try checking it more thoroughly, okay?" Tiana turned around after finishing wiping her tears. He smiled looking at his daughter.
"really? I'll check again." The boy turned around and immediately ran towards his room.
"Be careful, Luna. Don't run, you can fall!" rivanno shouted as he watched his daughter run so excitedly. He smiled knots looking at his daughter who was increasingly seen as independent, Luna seemed to show clearly his readiness to be an older brother. "He's growing more independent. I'm becoming more and more amazed with our daughter..."
Tiana let out a sigh of relief. Luna almost saw him when he was crying. As a mother, Tiana never wanted to show her weak side in front of Luna, her daughter. Because she didn't want to make her daughter feel sad knowing what she was feeling. Rivanno who realized that then rubbed his shoulders slowly.
"Are you that scared to show this side of you to our daughter?"
"Then, then you better not think too much about Dorothy. I know it might be hard. But you also have to think about Luna, and your health. You are also pregnant. Too much stress can be bad for the baby in your womb."
"I understand..." Tiana nodded her head slowly.
"I'll keep trying to fix that machine. I'll contact the professor who's handling our problem and ask him how it's going. Who knows what good news they've brought for us."
"good. Thank you, dear.because you've always tried your best for me, and our family.." Tiana kissed her husband's lips softly. Rivanno smiled faintly. Now Tiana's face looked slightly better than before when she was moody.
"Don't be sad anymore, don't worry me. Okay?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then I have to prepare. Oh yeah, did you see my das?" Rivanno switched the conversation. He just remembered that his intention to look for Tiana was to ask about the tie he used to wear to work.
"I kept it in a different place. Yesterday I rearranged the position of the object in his closet."
"Really?"
"Wait here, I'll get it for you."
"All right, thank you."
Tiana moved from her place. The woman walked towards their room to pick up the tie she had kept in the closet in a different position. Meanwhile, Rivanno was waiting there. The man once again fell silent as he looked at the back of his wife who was now walking further away from him. Rivanno was still sorry to Tiana for everything.
