Mother is Not a Night Woman

Mother is Not a Night Woman
Where'd You Leave her?


Wira and Bima were sitting in a car, in front of an apartment that was the residence of Shera during his stay in Bali. They had just come to Shera's unit, but there was no one there, so they chose to wait outside. The hero notices the circumstances around. The apartment is not a luxurious apartment.


"You're sure Shera lives here?" tanya Wira looked at the tall building. "This is just a regular apartment? Shera couldn't possibly want to live in a place like this." Wira's gaze was still fixed on the building. She remembers Shera's glamorous lifestyle during her stay with him. And now, the woman who became his first wife only lives in an ordinary apartment.


"If you're not sure, I won't bring you here."


"But this is by no means the taste of a Shera. I thought he'd be living in a luxury apartment with complete facilities."


"Where do I know" said Bima.


"What did he do abroad? Is he just a walk, or ..."


"I don't know, Mr. Wiratama Abhimanyu Sudarmadi .." replied Bima upset because since then Wira kept asking unclear. "What are you asking for? Don't tell me you still love that woman." Bima looked suspiciously at Wira, making the boss and his best friend was silent for a moment. "You are silent ... Does what I said mean that it's true?"


"Shut up! I don't give a shit about him. I'm just looking for him to find my son."


"Yes, you're right!"


Wira leaned her back while sighing deeply. He took out his cell phone from his pants pocket. While Bima observes the circumstances around.


"How now? We're gonna wait here?" asked Wira while staring at the photo of the newborn on her phone screen.


"of course. You want to find Shera right .." replied Bima ketus.


The hero doesn't answer anymore. Since leaving home there was a strange feeling that bothered him. And when he looked at the photo of his son, the unpleasant feeling was getting worse. I don't know why he keeps thinking about Lyla who cried last night in fear.


They kept waiting for a few hours. Even the hero is getting tired of waiting. Eventually, a car stopped across the street. A brunette woman in slightly open clothes looked out of the car.


Bima tried to sharpen his vision, looking at the woman he seemed to recognize. Trying to convince himself that he does not misunderstand people. "Wira, it's Shera!" he said while pointing at a woman.


Wira justifies his sitting position, then gazes in the direction that Bima pointed. And right, that woman across the street is indeed Shera. Without waiting any longer, Wira immediately got out of the car, running after the woman.


"Shera!" call him while speeding up his footsteps.


Shera turned around when she heard someone calling her by the name she really wanted to forget. How surprised the woman was when she realized who was walking towards her. "Wira ..." he muttered in surprise. He hurriedly walked quickly to the apartment lobby. But late, Wira had already grabbed her wrist.


"Take me off!" snapped Shera trying to take off his hand.


"No way!"


"Wira let me go!" Shera continued to rebel, but the more tightly the woman clasped her wrists. "if you don't let me go, I'll scream!"


"Just scream! I don't care." Wira dragged Shera to a place that felt safe from the apartment security officer. He pushed Shera into a long chair. While Bima soon followed when she realized Wira was being overpowered by emotions.


"What do you want from me?" Once again Shera snapped. He stood up from his seat, about to walk away. But Wira and Bima block him.


Hearing that question made Shera laugh cynically. "Your son?" He laughed again, "i don't know and I don't want to know!"


Wira looks increasingly furious, making Bima pat her shoulder. Ask the hero to be more patient.


"What do you mean don't know? You took her away."


"I threw it away" said Shera as if defiant.


The hero took a few breaths after hearing Shera's confession. It seemed that the man really did not believe that in the world there was a mother who was like his ex-wife.


"Whatdidyou say? You threw it?" ask the hero as if he can't believe it. "Shera, he's your son. What kind of mother are you?"


With a hunting breath, Shera looked at Wira. "I told you, I don't want any children between us. But you and your parents insisted, "he shouted while pushing the body of the Hero.


I don't think Wira can stand talking to Shera anymore. "I didn't ask you to take care of him. Then why did you take him away. If you don't want it I can raise it myself, and I'll set you free. But why are you doing all this?" Wira yells no less fierce.


While Bima was just a spectator of that scene. He immediately approached the Hero and whispered, "You should not use violence if you want to get your child. He won't tell you that you yell at him anyway."


Finally, the hero tries to give up. Slowly, he tried to dampen the emotions that seemed to burn his entire body. Thinking of Shera who could throw away their child makes Wira inexhaustible.


"Shera, I beg you. I'll give you whatever you want. But please tell me where my son is. Where'd you take him?" The spirit began to soften his voice.


"Shera, please! Hero or Mr. Gunawan will not bother you if you tell me where you're taking your son. That's all they want. After that it's up to you where you go and who you live with. The hero will give you whatever you want." Bima also tried to persuade Shera. I hope Shera will tell me about her son's whereabouts.


"I don't know where he is!" answer's short.


"Please Shera." Again Bima asked. But this time he no longer softened his voice.


"Good .. " Shera nodded slowly, staring at Wira and Bima alternately. "I'll tell you. But after this, don't you ever see me again."


Wira and Bima also nodded in agreement. Anything to get the information they want. "alright. I promise."


"I put it in a cardboard box, then left it somewhere. But I don't know where he is now, alive or not" Shera explained.


Wira closed her eyes for a moment, sighing deeply. Both of his eyes had even glazed over. His mind was far away. His little daughter is so poor, who has a mother like Shera.


"Where is that place? Please tell me where you left it!"


"In front of a school not far from Mother's Orphanage. I left him there, "he replied without guilt.


The hero fell silent for a moment, upon hearing the name of an unfamiliar place in his ear.
