Mother is Not a Night Woman
Daddy Darling Lyla....

Regret is a form of a person's awareness of a wrong action. Regret is painful, but behind the pain it brings goodness as a learning material. This is what happened to Wiratama Abhimanyu Sudarmadi. A misunderstanding made him make such a big mistake. He has ignored someone who should be his priority in life.

In a room, Via wiped the tears that fell soaked his pale face. Her shock had not disappeared due to the Hero who suddenly hugged her when she had just arrived, she had been shocked back by the words of her husband.

Wira had just told about the fact that Lyla was her daughter who was taken away by Shera a few years ago. Either the young woman should be happy or sad. At least Lyla will find a real family. And Lyla, get a chance to heal through spinal cord transplant surgery, as the doctor says.

But behind all that, the evil deeds of the Hero have frightened the little girl, just by mentioning the name of the man who is actually her real father.

The hero dropped his body, kneeling before his wife. A wife who for several months swallowed a bitter pill because her husband hated and always insulted her as a seductress. Their marriage was not based on love, but because of a mere covenant - which occurred because of their respective purposes.

Via's fragile heart may be wounded by the actions of the Hero. But she is still a wife. Whether or not there is love between them.

"I don't deserve to be forgiven. I've accused you without seeing the truth. You have the right to punish me" said Wira, still kneeling before his wife.

Via was still trying to hold back his tears that had been sliding freely since. "It's not wrong, Wira. I'm guilty." Via rubbed his tears. "i forgot to surrender. I refuse to move. I wanted Lyla's recovery too much until I threw myself in there. Anyone would think I'm not a good woman. And it was my fault."

The guilt of the hero is growing. How noble is the heart of Via who easily makes sacrifices for Lyla.

"If you want to apologize, apologize to me and Lyla. Mas Wira has done something wrong to hurt my father. Mas Wira also once referred to Lyla as an illegitimate child."

The hero is still frozen in place. He remembered everything he had done in recent times. Truly, he felt his heart had been blinded by a momentary emotion.

On the other hand, Mr. Gunawan was accompanying Lyla in the room while waiting for Wira and Via to speak together. The middle-aged man hugged Lyla who was now in his lap. A grandson who has been wanted for years. Happiness and sadness are mixed into one. He rubbed his grandson's hair that had started to fall out. Noticing Lyla's weak little hand, playing a worn-out doll.

Lyla had been living within her limitations and only that worn out toy she had. There were no tears the man came back. With his wealth, he was even able to buy any toy, including his toy store. However, due to Shera's actions, Lyla must be separated from her real family.

The man glanced at the clock on the wall that had already shown it at eleven o'clock in the night, but Via and Wira still had not returned.

"Opa .." call him by pulling the opa's arm.

"Yes, Son!"

"Lyla wants to come to Opa's house, yeah ... Lyla doesn't want to go home to Om Wila anymore. Lyla's the same mother can come with Opa, right?"

He immediately replied with a smile and nod. Her tears came back after that. "Of course I can. Buy a lot of toys. Lyla wants what toys?"

"Lyla wants a plinsyes doll, Opa. The one with the dress is walna bilu." He pointed to a fairy tale book that was located on the table. The man immediately grabbed the book.

"Then, tomorrow opa buys a lot of dolls. Lyla what else? Let's say Opa, I'll love everything Lyla wants." she said as she rubbed the girl's pale face.

"Lyla wants Upin-Ipin chicken, Opa ..."

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows, a confused omen. "What chicken?"

"Chicken Upin-Ipin. Lyla wants to eat chicken kayak Upin-Ipin, Opa ..." His little hand again pointed at a book on the table.

Once the storybook from the neighboring country was in his hands, he showed a picture of Upin and Ipin who were eating his fried chicken.

"This sag, Opa. Lyla wants to eat this. Buy it yes, Opa ..."

"Then, tomorrow opa bring a lot of Upin-Ipin chicken." The middle-aged man's words made a faint smile on Lyla's face.

Not long after, Via entered the room. Smiling, he approached Lyla. "Lyla why aren't you asleep? It's already night ..."

"Lyla playing with opa, Mommy. Opa wants to bring a doll with Upin-Ipin chicken for Lyla" he said excitedly. Although it was obvious that his movements were weak. However, the smile that adorned her tiny face suddenly dimmed, upon realizing who had just entered the room.

The hero looked at Lyla with tears in his eyes, while the little girl was already frightened. He hid his face in the chest of the opa.

"Lyla why, son?"

"Lyla's scared, Opa. Om Wila is evil same mother." There was the sound of crying, which made Wira take a few steps back. Getting rejection from the child he wanted to hug so much, made him hit.

Lyla continued to cry as she muttered, making Via immediately grab the little girl's body. "Honey, Om Wira's here to see Lyla. Look, Om Wira brought a princess doll for Lyla."

"No want! Om Wila will be wicked Mother again. Om Wila likes lyla. Lyla's afraid of Mommy... Lyla's going home." Via hugged Lyla tightly. He could feel Lyla's trembling body.

And, something made them all panic, as drops of blood came out through Lyla's nose. His crying voice was getting weaker. Slowly, he began to have difficulty breathing and was soon unconscious again.

Realizing the situation, Surya swiftly walked out of the room to call the doctor. While the hero grabbed Lyla's body. He hugged her, with tears growing.

"Lyla, it's dad, son. Dear father Lyla. Wake up, Lyla ..."
