This morning was the day that little angel Lyla had been waiting for. With a beautiful yellow dress combined with blue, she was so excited to start her day. This was his first performance at school, which he wanted to develop for his mother.
“Dad.” Lyla ran small towards a car where her father was. The hero had just arrived after taking care of some important work in the office. He stretched out his arms, welcomed his daughter and hugged her. “Sorry, yes .. Dad is late.” He glanced at the clockwork on his wrist. Time has shown at eleven in the morning. “The trick has started, huh?”
“Not yet, Father .. Lyla again ready-made Mother,” he replied. “Opa sama oma is also inside.”
“Ya already, let's go in!” The woman kissed Lyla's face with anxiety, then carried her into the building where the opera was taking place that day.
Along the way Lyla kept chattering, telling her there was anything in there. He also told me about Chella who had a new tick-tock video with her mother's father. “Dad, later Lyla want to play tick tok with dad, yes?” lyla whispered in her father's ear.
Not wanting to make his son disappointed before appearing, Wira was forced to accept the request. “Bby, Darling. But today performing at the opera should be good, huh?”
“Ahhsiapp!!!” lyla said excitedly.
“Yes .. Lyla hear where the word ahsiaaap is?” ask Wira wonder, because little Lyla has many new terms that sometimes make the Hero confused himself in interpreting it.
“Lyla view on Youtube, Dad. Dad didn't know. How to say bengini, ahhsiaapp!” Lyla gave an example by following the way one famous youtuber with the word ahsiap.
Hearing that, Wira could only shake her own head. “First dad, om Marchel same Om Willy play marbles the same rock, son. Not youtube,”. “Lyla can't mostly watch youtube, yes. Later his eyes hurt.”
“Iya, Father.”
The atmosphere was already very crowded, the guests had started to arrive. In the corner there were Marchel, Surya and the others, who were already sitting sweetly waiting. A ignorant smile also rose in the corner of Wira's lips, while remembering the video he watched last night. How cute and adorable Marchel and surya are.
He dropped Lyla from her carrier, so the little girl immediately headed backstage to join his other friends. While Wira stepped towards the row of seats for the elderly.
“Ehm ..” Wira cleared her throat while dropping her body on the chair, making Surya and Marchel turn to her. “You've been a long time?”
“Not too long,” replied Marchel. “You're almost late. Good thing the operas were delayed by an hour, otherwise you'll be hanged by your son.”
The hero chuckled softly, then stared one by one at the few people present there. Fortunately, their seats were quite spaced with the seats of the wives sitting together in another corner. “You or I will be hanged.”
Marchel who did not understand the intention of Wira's words only glanced with the tail of her eyes. “Heh, we came over an hour ago. It's you, rubber clock base ..”
“Hehe .. At least I'm not a scared father of children, or a scared husband of wives like you who are willing to dance a crow for the sake of pleasing a wife's child.”
Like lightning striking in broad daylight. Surya and Marchel were so shocked to hear Wira's insinuation. Now they glanced at each other with red faces, when they suspected Wira had watched their tik tok video. Especially Surya who last night remained in cool mode when Lyla asked to make a video of that kind. He wanted to hide his face in the stone.
Just be careful if Lyla manages to get you dancing crows. I will definitely laugh at you all out, Marchel grumbled inwardly.
While Surya is silent a thousand languages. Because he had pretended not to understand when Lyla urged to play tik tok.
Not long ago ....
“Mas ..” heard a call Via which made the laughter of the Hero stop. So Marchel and Surya breathe a sigh of relief. At least Wira will not be as thick as that if she is with her handler.
“Why, Dear?” the hero's affectionate call made Marchel and Surya make facial mimics like they were about to vomit. Because the hero who had been stiff had turned into a romantic husband.
“Opera will start. Let's all move to the front seat. I want to see Lyla from a closer distance. Father, mother, Sheila and Sister Shera also sat in front.”
“Good.”
Eventually they all decided to move to the front seats, in order to be able to see the children from a closer distance.
🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
The world of children is colorful. A world where they do not know the word hate or anger. They built their own paradise in a unique way.
The opera performance that day was also in progress. Lyla, Chella, and the other children involved in the show performed stunningly in their own costumes. Rousing applause was heard echoing the laughter of the guests as the children performed adorablely.
Sitting in the ranks of the parents, a happy smile never escaped from Via's face. He wiped away the tears that washed his face. If you look to the past where Lyla with a burning spirit fought against her pain. Now the little girl can live her life like any other child. Performing in an opera at school in a princess costume is one of thousands of hopes and dreams realized.
“Honey, lately I feel you are very crybaby.” The hero tightened his hand.
“I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm so happy to see Lyla today. I think God has granted all my prayers. Lyla recovered, and now I have Gael, father, mother and Mas, ” Via said gratefully. It seems that all of his struggles have paid off. Getting into the night world that seems to dirty the value of her purity as a girl may be a mistake. However, from that mistake he learned to remain grateful and sincere in life.
With a smile, the woman kissed the back of the wife's hand. He embraced Via and leaned on his shoulder.
“Yes, we should be thankful a lot. You're right, God set us up in a unique way. I hated the world after losing Lyla. I even blame fate for being less friendly with me. Without me realizing that it was God's way of uniting us. You found Lyla, and she ended up being the bridge that brought us together.”
Yes, God always gives people what they need and always answers every prayer. Only humans are sometimes less patient in waiting for the process of the realization of his prayer.
