Abian closed the door to his room tightly. He stood leaning against the door with a sigh of relief and his eyes closed.
"Darling .. You why?"
Aruna's question was a surprise to Abian. The man seemed excited to find his wife woke up and found himself behaving like that.
"I'm-i'm ..." Abian tried to find an excuse.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to you?" ask Aruna to worry.
Abian shakes. He walked to his wife.
"N-no, baby. I'm fine," Abian replied lying.
"really? You sure?"
Abian nodded. "Yes, baby."
"Then why do you look so scared? Did you see a ghost? Then where are you from? Why are you standing at the door?" Aruna looked at her husband with questions.
"I .. I'm from the kitchen, baby. I had a drink and saw a very large mouse. The rat chased me, so I was a little scared." Abian tried to give a false excuse.
"Rice? Is there a mouse in this house? And since when do you fear rats?"
Abian was silent, he was confused what else to say. His mind was completely deadlocked and could not give a logical reason.
"Don't think too much. Let's go to bed again" Abian asked to try to divert the conversation.
"But-"
"Once, let's go to bed. You're late tomorrow."
Actually there are still some questions that Aruna wants to ask. But unfortunately her husband had returned to lie down and close his eyes.
"Squeaky. Since when are there rats in this house?" Aruna Gumam.
He will make sure tomorrow if the house is dirty or not. The feeling he always diligently cleans every corner of the room.

Next day.
"Ziva, can I ask you a favor?"
"Solicit what please?"
"I have to leave this morning and at school Elona has activities to accompany. Can you replace me as his parents?" pinta Aruna is hopeful.
"Your husband?"
"My husband had a meeting this morning and couldn't accompany Elona at school. That's if you don't mind."
Aruna gave a happy smile. "Thank you, Ziva. Then after breakfast you should get ready to go one car with us."
"All right."
"Yes, we have breakfast first. I made a sandwich for breakfast."
"OK."
Both went to the dining table. The first person Ziva was Abian. The man immediately turned his face as soon as he looked towards himself.
"Good morning, beautiful Elona" Ziva said.
"Good morning, aunt Ziva."
"How was he sleeping last night? Wakeless?"
"Sure, aunt."
"Good, baby."
Hearing Ziva's question for Elona makes Abian feel insinuated. Even though the question was not directed at him, Abian still felt. Because last night he couldn't sleep. And again the cause is Ziva, the woman who is currently sitting on his left.
"Elona, I'll bring you one at school, okay? You have an activity today. It'll be hungry soon" Aruna bargained with her daughter.
"Yes, mom. Don't forget to bring me a drink."
"Ready, baby."
Elona looked very excited.
"Ah yes, your mother said that aunt will accompany you. You don't mind, do you, honey?" ziva asked and the boy shook his head.
"It's okay, aunt. I've talked to you before."
"Smart kid," praised Ziva.
"Thank you, aunt."
"Together, baby."
The four of them started their breakfast.
After breakfast, they got into the car. First Abian would take his daughter to school with Ziva, then drive his wife to the restaurant. After that, he went to the office.
During the journey, silence slipped between them. Only the sound of the car engine was heard. Abian occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror hanging over him that reflected Ziva's face.
The woman smiled as Abian glanced at the rearview mirror, but Abian refocused on the streets. He did not want Aruna to catch him.
