Mother is Not a Night Woman
How can I repay him?

From behind a glass, Via looked at Lyla who was getting handlers from several doctors. His cry was restrained, his face was pale and looked tired. Although he continues to try to convince himself that everything will still return to the creator, but all hearts have not been able to lose a child who has graced his day for four years. Lyla was everything to Via.

Slowly, the hero approached. His hand rubbed his wife's hair. Awakening from the daydream, Via turned his head, then looked up at Wira. Tears that had been held back from earlier began to break down.

"I don't want to lose Lyla, Mas ... Lyla is everything to me" she said.

Wira rubbed the pale face wet with tears, then hugged her while dipping the tubers of Via. "I'm sorry. It was all my fault, so Lyla became like this."

The man turned his gaze in there, where his little daughter lay helplessly unconscious. He closed his eyes, accompanied by a clear liquid that continued to flow, as if representing a feeling of pain in his heart.

An hour later, several doctors came out of the room and coded for Via and Wira to come into the room. While Mr. Gunawan, at the request of Wira, he had gone home first with Surya.

"Alyra was traumatized. It has a huge impact on his health. Bleeding in the nose can occur when the patient is under stress. Therefore, maintaining the emotions of a cancer patient is very important," explained the doctor while reading a map containing Lyla's medical record.

Via. His body felt troubled hearing the doctor's explanation. He looks very worried. Realizing that, Wira grabbed his hand and grasped it.

"Doctor, is there anything you can do to cure the trauma?" ask Via.

"This is what matters. As much as possible keep Alyra things that can trigger stress.do things that make her happy. So far, Alyra's condition is stable, before the incident. So if you can, don't let anything like that happen again."

The spirit took a deep breath. It felt so tight to hear the doctor's explanation. However, nothing can be done but to comply with the doctor's advice for Lyla's health. "But is there any effort that can be made to cure it? Like a spinal cord transplant."

"For that effort there must be many tests to determine the match of the donor and recipient. It can be from parents or siblings. But usually the most suitable donors are siblings. In addition, grafting requires no small cost."

"No matter the cost, Doctor. What matters is the recovery of my son."

"alright. But for that we have to talk about it with some expert doctors. All we can do now is keep Alyra from getting stressed out" he said.

Time had shown at one in the morning when Wira was still so comfortable looking at Lyla's face. Not a single moment did he take his eyes off the little girl. He took Lyla's little hand and held it. He kissed Lyla's back.

"Will ... Forgive dad. I've been mean to Lyla" she said with teary eyes.

The hero turned to Via who was still silent in his seat by looking at Lyla. Although he looked tired, he did not leave Lyla. The hero stood up from his seat, then approached Via and rubbed his hair.

"You haven't slept in days because you've been looking after Lyla. Now rest. I'll take care of him."

"No, Mas. If Lyla wakes up, she'll look for me right away" she said, wiping the top of the little girl's head.

"I'll wake you up. Come, Via... You need to rest. Look at your face so pale." Once again the Hero persuaded Via.

He helped his wife stand up, took her to the sofa in the corner of the room and helped her lie down, then covered her.

"Sleep" he said, stroking Via's face. "If Lyla wakes up, I'll tell you."

Via nodded slowly. He tried to close his eyes, but could not. Because since then Wira kept looking at him with an unusual gaze. If a few days ago in the eyes of the Hero there was only hatred, but now it is different. The spirit is like seeing an angel in Via. Via's affection for Lyla made her heart touched.

Via ... how great is your sacrifice for Lyla. How can I repay him.
