After three days, Luna received a letter from the royals of Sihir informing her that she had to make her decision in two days. And informing her that in case her answer was no, then she'll still be able to visit the magical land. 

She came to me in the morning  holding the letter. She handed it to me so i read it, and so i did. We made eye contact for a long time. Then, after a sigh, i said, "Luna, you're free to choose the place where you feel you're comfortable. Where you feel you belong". She smiled then said, "Where we belong". I asked, "You and Mia?". She let out a small laugh then said, "We". I understood..and for the first time in years, i felt so good about this matter.

The next day, i went upstairs to Luna's room in the morning to wake her up. Not just to wake her up. "Luna. BabyLu, wake up sweetie". She opened her eyes slowly then smiled. Then, she straightened her back. "Good morning", I said. "Good morning", she replied. "Wash your face and join me for breakfast. I want to tell you something", I said. "Alright", she said with a smile.

Minutes later, Luna came down to the kitchen where me and the pancakes and the orange juice waited for her. We both smiled at each other. I made a long gaze at the place then said, "You know Luna..the most thing i like about living in this house is the simplicity that it carries. I always liked simplicity. Many people tell me that the decoration of it is old fashioned, but this is why i feel comfortable being here". "I agree. Plus it makes us different than the others, which is beautiful", said Luna. I nodded. I exhaled..then, "Yeah but..i guess we're living our last days here without even planning. We thought this house was our home, but i guess we were wrong. A home is where one belongs, and we don't belong here", I said. Luna's face had the widest grin I've ever seen in my life, I could even see her eyes lightning with tears that she managed to prevent them from rolling down. She was speechless. "Go on, write a letter to the royals to tell them you're going..we're going", i said. She hugged me a tight hug then said, "Dad! i love you so much". Then she ran to her bedroom to write the letter.

After an hour, Luna received a letter from the royals telling her that we are so welcomed, and that we will be performing the oath the next day.
