It is true what people say if all places are places to play for children, both in the real world and cyberspace

like now for example, when adults like us are tired of staring too long at sophisticated screens, not with these two crucibles

they are busy joking with their language that makes the ears itchy

sometimes those with adorable behavior become solace for adults who are carrying a myriad of burdens

I only noticed how Elio was talking to Egan, currently on the screen is featuring Egan who is crying because Abinya left behind. Elio who saw it, instead of being concerned about his friend who was crying, Elio said, kepo and his ignorant nature even appear

"Ido, nanic.....?" Elio asked Egan who was still in a flood of tears.

don't be surprised by Elio's new call to Egan, I have to rack my brain to give Egan a proper call to be imitated by Elio. after several revisions, Elio called Egan Ido.

"hiks...iyaaaaa...." Egan who was still crying paused for a moment his cry to talk to Elio

"why.....?" this child is his friend crying instead of being persuaded to stop crying, instead continue to be asked

" hiks ILO, Egan, hiks. nanis first yes"

"ok, later on, bilan huh...?"

"ok"

after that Egan again cried with a fairly shrill voice

her mother....? my body was even casually watching, letting Egan cry away the resentment that was still lingering in his heart.

Elio....?

he was busy eating and eating the snacks I prepared for Elio before the study

I shook my head with concern for Egan's fate.

I always prepare everything Elio needs before the study.from food, toys, books or other needs that Elio needs.so when the study Elio can sit quietly or play quietly

egan's cry sounded soft, leaving only a hiccup that seemed to be about to stop

"ILO, cudah" Egan told me

"oh, cudah....? nanic ladi Ndak'o....?" I gawked at the spot seeing how Elio offered his friend to cry again

"no"

"want....?" now Elio even offers his favorite baby biscuit.yes bring it close to the screen that displays Egan's face

can that.....?

sometimes from Elio's behavior I learned a lot, how we should deal with others, or how we should be patient and grateful with what became God's decree

had I been the one currently in Elio's position with my friend crying in front of me, I probably wouldn't have asked 'do you still want to cry....?' even I would quickly ask her to stop crying.

' nangis Mulu, I'm ashamed Uda big'

maybe that word will come out of my mouth

"Mommy, Daddy....?" Elio approached after turning off his connection connected to Egan. I did not realize that I had daydreamed a while ago

"Daddy.....? Elio misses Daddy....?" questions that were immediately answered by Elio

I returned to struggling with Louis's number, which again only featured the voice of the operator that had been heard since this morning

"Daddy work. later tonight we call Daddy ok....?" I couldn't have told Elio that since this morning Louis was hard to call

"Mommy. Abys....?"

lucky at this time at home there is Absyar and Abyan's brother, so Elio is not too lonely.he still has friends to play with

pandemics make every move we have to adjust to the existing conditions, we can no longer enjoy to play outside the home. although Indonesia is a country with islands separated by the sea, it does not make the covid-19 virus stuck on one island only. even now there are many casualties from small islands that began to fall.

what about Italy.....?

the island is no longer separated by sea distance....?

I can't imagine how terrible the conditions are at the moment, with truckloads of soldiers being deployed to transport the dead

thinking about it, made my heart even more rattled. The shadow about Louis' condition made me very want to cry.Fear, anxiety mixed into one, made my stomach move quickly with irregular movements. it makes me nauseous

time continued to move away from the passing seconds with increasing disturbing emotions, until the night incarnated none of my calls were answered except by the voice of the operator that was always the same

"what is this....?" I asked in the quiet of a quiet night, the cold weather was now breaking through the bones, feeling cooler than it should have been

a sophisticated screen that a moment ago lit up showing outgoing calls is now black empty there is no sign of the ring

blank

hushed

Silent

just like the news of Louis being lost in the distance

I glanced at Elio who had fallen asleep on the bed, I moved closer to the restless Elio

my hands quickly calmed Elio down, the soft claps landing constantly on his chest instead of getting calmer Elio woke up and cried loudly

"uuuaaaaa Daddy uuuaaaaa"

"why wake up baby....?" I brought Elio in my sling

I tried to put him back to sleep, my hands constantly gave a gentle sweep to his back. While my feet moved constantly fondling Elio who still called his Daddy

although we've been separated for a long time with Louis, Elio very rarely wakes up and cries in the middle of the night. Elio would usually hug me and fall back asleep

I tried to offer Elio to suckle, but not a little Elio gubris.he was still looking for his Daddy.he even asked me to call Louis

although I don't mind doing that, unfortunately as hard as I try. the connection won't get a word from Louis

let alone Louis.the other family

the one thing I can say to Elio for now is "patience". it's actually not just for Elio but for me.

for me who is also waiting for news from Louis

where exactly is Louis right now.....?

why didn't I hear any news....?

if the phone can't provide news about Louis

will his office people know where Louis is right now.....?

maybe I should see Sam tomorrow....?

should huh?

that seems like the solution for now
