Mother is Not a Night Woman
She's Hard to Contact

Meanwhile in a large house, a middle-aged woman sat daydreaming in a wheelchair. In front of him was a woman who had been trying to feed him. While behind him were three nurses who had been guarding him all along.

"Mistress, eat. Later the mistress can get sick if she does not want to eat," said Bibi Arum while offering a spoonful of food, but the woman immediately responded with a headband.

"Vi-aaa .." he said slowly.

Aunt Arum understood that her employer wanted Via to be there. Since getting married a few weeks ago, never once did Via visit the in-laws. Because of the request of the Hero to stay away from both his parents.

"Mistress, eat! Later I will contact Den Wira to bring Via to this house."

"Vi-bt ..."

Aunt Arum put the dishes on the table. He looked at the three nurses in turn.

"Please accompany the madam here, I'm going ahead for a moment."

"Okay, Auntie," said the three nurses together.

Aunt Arum stepped out of the room, along with Mr. Gunawan who had just arrived home. As usual there will be Surya who always tailed behind him.

"Welcome, Sir!" aunty Arum said when she realized her Master's arrival. Mr. Gunawan replied with a nod of his head, accompanied by a faint smile.

"What's up, Auntie?" he asked when he realized the look on Aunt Arum's face.

"Master, the madam won't eat. He keeps calling out Via's name."

The middle-aged man loosened the tie wrapped around his neck. Thinking about the child is just a puppet that is very difficult to contact. Even until now, he did not know the reason Wira quit the company and chose to work in Ivan's company.

"Did the Hero or Via never come here?" tanyakanya.

"Via never came here, sir. If Den Wira had come several times, but not for long. Just see the madam, then after that go again."

Mr. Gunawan glanced at Surya, then took a deep breath. "I don't know what's going on with the hero. He suddenly decided to withdraw from the company, then urged to marry Via. And now he's acting strangely like this. Even up until now he was very difficult to contact."

"I tried calling her home phone number. But it's not connected, either, sir."

"Alright, if there's time I'll see him. Now I have no free time. Ever since Wira decided to step down, I was completely preoccupied with work," he said, then passed leaving Aunt Arum and Surya to a room.

Via sat Lyla on the bed in the back room, then gave her the milk glass she had made. The little girl grabbed the glass and gulped it down until half was left. He rubbed the remaining milk attached to the lips and looked at the mother.

"Mother, Lyla wanted a plinsyes kayak doll earlier. Her clothes are beautiful like Lyla clothes that Mother sews. Teyuss doll can also sing," said Lyla while tugging at the end of the clothes of the mother, her face looks clear, making Via feel unbearable.

Via stroked Lyla's face with a smile, then kissed her forehead. "Later if you have money, you buy something like that, yes. Lyla's waiting, right?"

"You, Mother! Later Lyla also want to wear clothes Lyla's, bial same with her doll."

"Yes, Honey. Now spend the milk."

The little girl went back to drinking her milk until the glass was empty. While Via stared with teary eyes. However, he held back from crying in front of his son.

"Mother, later Lyla can borrow the plinsyes again no?" ask again with a hopeful face.

.

"No way, darling. The doll will be broken."

"Nanti om Wila even yes Mommy. Lyla just borrowed it. Lyla also wants a plinsyes doll that's like that."

Via grabs Lyla's body and carries it to her lap. Lovingly, Via explained to his little daughter.

"Lyla, listen mom, yeah ... Not everything in this world we have to have. God has been good to us by giving us everything we need. Lyla has a mother who loves Lyla. Lyla also has two hands to touch, two feet to walk, and two eyes to see." Via pointed one by one Lyla's body parts that he called. "All of this is God's gift. Lyla has to be a lot grateful, not to complain. Many children are not as lucky as Lyla in the world."

"But why doesn't Lyla have a father, Mother? Where's Lyla's dad?"

Via showed his smile again. "Lyla still has a mother. Try Lyla remember Upin and Ipin." Via tries to give an example by calling a cartoon film from the country of the Neighbors which became Lyla's favorite tv show. "Upin and Ipin also have no father and mother, but they are not sad right? They remain grateful. That is, Lyla is still luckier, because Lyla still has a mother. Lyla understands now, right?"

"Yes, Mother," he replied as he nodded slowly. The little girl leaned her head against Via's chest, "Lyla dear Mother. It's okay if Lyla doesn't have plinsyes. Lyla already has a doll that Mother loves," he said, hugging the worn-out Via gift doll.

Via rubbed his face that had been soaked by tears. And as usual, the woman was always trying to hide it, so that little Lyla would not see. "Mother also loves Lyla."

Without them realizing it, Wira had since heard the conversation of the two people. He took a deep breath, trying to shake off the guilt within him. A moment later, he stepped away.

If Shera had only half of Via's tenderness. Of course none of this is going to happen. I don't have to lose like now. God, where is my son ? Where did Shera take him. Are there good people who take care of her, like Via caring for Lyla. Or he lives within limitations. My son, where should I look.
