"Daddy..this is the Teddy doll that Grandma bought!" The voice of the little girl who was talking to her Daddy made Bianca's steps slow down towards the source of the voice. "The phone is beautiful, isn't it?" Say it again while showing his doll in front of his Daddy's face.
The man who was very difficult to smile seemed to be smiling stiffly. "Yes. Very pretty like Cilla." Reply in a flat tone but keep smiling.
"of course. Cilla is as beautiful as Mommy. Isn't that Daddy?" He then pointed to the wedding photo and Bianca displayed on the wall of the living room.
Calvin turned his eyes. Look at the wedding photo. Calvin can see Cilla's pretty face is indeed downhill from Bianca's face. Calvin stared at his wedding photo. Until the voice of someone he was looking at his picture shifted Calvin's gaze.
"Mommy... Mommy's home yet?" Cilla's voice sounded so carefree calling out to Bianca. "Look at my new doll. Pretty, isn't it?" As with Calvin, Cilla also showed his doll to Bianca.
Bianca's approaching. His smile widened when he was close to Cilla. "Did Grandma buy Cilla this doll?" Ask Bianca.
"Yes... Grandma and Aunt bought it for me!" The reply was so cheerful.
Bianca smile. Tired in his body increasingly disappeared when he saw the cheerful face of his daughter. But the smile on his face did not last long as his gaze was fixed on the figure of the man who was now sitting beside Cilla.
"Cilla's... Mom wants to clean up the body first. Continue playing with Daddy. Mom will be back after you've cleared the body." Bianca said as she stroked her daughter's hair.
"Good, Mommy. Cilla's gonna wait for Mom here." He said while displaying a row of his teeth to Bianca.
Bianca nodded. Then rise from his squatting position. "I'll go to the room first." He said to Calvin who was taken by the man with his flat face.
Bianca stepped up, leaving the living room to her room on the second floor. His breathing slowed down when he realized Calvin's gaze had not changed since they first got married. The man's gaze was always flat and cold.
Calvin's love of death is only for the woman of his past who is now buried underground. I don't know until when Calvin can accept the presence of a new woman in his life. Even until now he is still indifferent to Bianca even though the woman has officially become his wife.
"Daddy... I want to be like any other friend. They always play along with their Daddy and Mommy in front of the house while I don't." Said Cilla with a sad face.
Calvin didn't even listen to Cilla. Because at this time his mind drifted to imagine the face of Bianca who looked sad every time he saw it.
"Daddy... Why is Daddy quiet?" Cilla asked when Calvin could not speak.
"Agh, yeah. What were you talking about?" Calvin asked feeling guilty when he saw his daughter's pouting face.
