Mother is Not a Night Woman
Lyla my son ...

Via's been living in this orphanage since he was a baby. Just like Lyla, Via was also thrown away. He was found inside the mosque and ended up living here. Until now, the whereabouts of his parents are unknown. I've been taking care of Via since the baby. Via is a good and obedient boy. He also has a firm belief. No matter what happened in his life, he never complained.

She had a dream of becoming a fashion designer, which is why she struggled so hard to complete her education. Via an independent child. He paid for his own school by working.

Four years ago, when I was going to college. He found a baby in a cardboard box in front of the boarding school. Via brought the baby home. Maybe because he felt the same fate, finally Via considers the baby like his own child. She loved Lyla very much. He took care of her and gave all her attention to Lyla. Together with Via, Lyla finds a mother's affection.

She was one year old, when Lyla was often sick, easily tired and often fell for no reason. That day her eyes swelled as big as quail eggs. He took her to the hospital for further examination. The doctor said he had to wait for a few weeks until Lyla was diagnosed with leukemia.

Poor lyla. When the other children were running around here and there, he could only see from a distance. But even so Via was always able to make him patient.

At that time we needed a lot of money for Lyla's treatment. He eventually decided to quit college. He buried all his dreams and chose to focus on working for Lyla. He accepts any job, as long as he can make money, without caring about himself. Even when he was sick, he still forced himself to work. Via is willing to do anything for Lyla.

The words of Ms. Retno ringed in the ears of Wira. It feels like a big rock. Only tears kept flowing down his face. Little Lyla is battling a deadly disease. He recalls first coming to Via and offering help to cover the cost of Lyla's treatment at the hospital - with some harsh conditions. Even with a heavy feeling, Via still agreed to the conditions put forward by the Hero. And all that for Lyla.

"I have committed a great sin. Now I understand why Via was forced into that black world. Everything is just for my son. And what I did to repay her kindness. I treated him very badly."

The hero leaned his head. Occasionally take a deep breath. The shadow of Lyla again popped up while playing in the room that actually prepared Wira for him. But the game of fate is ironic. Because of his ignorance, Wira instead reprimanded Lyla who was playing a doll. Even now Lyla became very afraid of Wira.

"Lettle Wira .. when you get home, apologize to Via and Lyla" said Bima while driving the car.

It feels like Wira is very impatient to get home and apologize to Via and Lyla for their bad treatment.

"Lyla is my son. The child I had been looking for for four years was in front of my eyes. He is even struggling every day to stay alive" said Wira. "And the woman I've hated all this time, I'm sorry maki is the one who's willing to do anything for my son."

It didn't take long, the car entered the courtyard of the house. Half-running, Wira immediately entered the house, leaving Bima who was still in the car. When he arrived at the middle room, he circulated his gaze. The house was very quiet, like it was uninhabited.

Slowly, Wira stepped towards a back room that was quite close to the kitchen. Silent for a moment, Wira looks hesitantly knocking on the door. He remembered his sins to his wife and children.

A few minutes later, after being able to control his feelings, Wira knocked on the door several times. But there is no lawfulness.

"Via ... Lyla ..." call her slow, knocking.

Silent! There was no sign of anyone there. He knocked again and again, believing no one was there. The hero turned the doorknob until it opened. And empty, there's no one there.

Her tears re-dropped when her vision caught a box on top of the closet. A box of Barbie dolls that Wira once bought for Lyla. He grabbed the thing and looked at it with a broken feeling. Lyla even rejected the doll she liked so much if she knew it was a gift from the Hero.

The hero stepped out of the room, then immediately headed upstairs where Via sometimes cleaned. However, the Hero has researched every room but neither Via nor Lyla. After not finding anything, the hero finally chose to go back downstairs and walk around the house. Bima had just entered upon hearing the voice of the Hero who called out the names of Via and Lyla alternately.

The man could see the look on the face of the panicked Wira. "What's up, Boss?" ask Bima.

"Lyla and Via don't exist."

"I mean nothing how? Where do they usually go?"

"They can't go to the parlors. I've forbidden Via from ever setting foot in that orphanage again."

Hearing the words of Wira made Bima's eyes wide open. "What's? You forbid Via from visiting the parlour?"

While sighing deeply, Wira nodded slowly. The look of regretful face was clearly drawn on his face. "Before marrying Via, I made her promise to stay away from my parents and the orphanage."

Bima also clucked while shaking his head. He really did not expect with the mindset of the Hero. "You're crazy, my lady. How could you do all that to Via. How could you forbid him from visiting the parlour. It was his home since childhood and you have no right to forbid it."

The hero does not answer. His mind has gone everywhere. He can no longer think clearly. He was already starting to worry if anything happened to Lyla.

"Maybe Via and Lyla just came out for a little while. Wait up!" Bima tried to calm down the hero who had been confused since.

Wira tries to contact the orphanage and Via's mobile number. However, there is no news of their existence. The phone number is no longer active. Because a few days earlier, unbeknownst to Wira, Via had sold a cell phone to buy Lyla's needs.

Until a few hours passed, Via and Lyla had not returned, so that made Wira feel worried.

"Is it possible that Via left the house because he was angry with me after the incident that night?" muttered Wira.

"Let's see her clothes. If there is no, it means he left the house," said Bima.

Without much thought, Wira immediately headed towards Via's room to check it out.
