Mother is Not a Night Woman
Lyla it's okay if you don't have a father, Mother!

"Mother ..." the sound of a weak call made the sleeping Wira on the side of Lyla's bed to wake up. Still with her eyes closed, Lyla who had not realized the whereabouts of the Hero by her side called back. "Mother ... Lyla wants milk."

Not wanting Lyla to get hysterical again, Wira quickly shifted her position, before Lyla actually opened her eyes. He headed for the sofa, where Via was still fast asleep. He wanted to wake up Via, but was so fixated on looking at his wife's innocent face.

"Mrrt ..." The sound of Lyla calling once again, made the Hero immediately wake up Via.

"Via ... Lyla's awake, "he whispered in Via's ear.

Half-conscious, Via opened his eyes. Surprised, because the position of Wira was very close to him. The hero puts his index finger in front of his nose. "St!! Lyla's awake. I gotta get out quick. Otherwise he'll be hysterical again" he said, wiping Via's hair.

"Yes, Mom."

The hero immediately stepped out of the room. Via approaches Lyla. He kissed his little princess' face. "Lyla's awake, sweetie ..."

Lyla opened her eyes, when she saw her mother there, she smiled. "Mother, Lyla wants milk" he said spoiled.

"Wait a minute, honey... Mother make it."

"Yes, Mother."

Via makes milk for Lyla. For a moment he turned towards the window, where the Hero was peeking there. Via can see the grief of Wira, he knows the Wira is so eager to give his affection to Lyla. However, everything seems too late. Because Lyla was already traumatized by the harsh treatment of Wira.

"This is the milk, honey ..." Via allows a pillow so that Lyla can sit leaning. Gently, Via helps Lyla drink her milk.

"Already, Mother," he said while pushing a glass of milk that only leaves a little.

"Smartyrs mother's child, so dear mother Lyla. Lyla's a smart kid." Via peeped at his little princess. While thinking about how to persuade Lyla to accept Wira as her father.

Still with a pale face and a faint look, Lyla pulled the end of her mother's clothes. "Mother ... Opa says he wants to buy Lyla a plinsyes doll. Lyla wants to, Mother."

"Yes, Honey. Later opa comes bring Lyla a lot of toys. Lyla's happy to have opa?"

Little Lyla nodded slowly. "Happy, Mother. Opa is good with Lyla. Lyla also wants to buy a wobbly chicken Upin-Ipin same opa."

"Yes, Honey. But eat the chicken later. Lyla is healed. If now, you can only eat porridge. Lyla understands, right?"

"Yes, Mother."

Behind the glass window, Wira still notices Lyla and Via. Saying a lot of gratitude in the heart, because the one who found Lyla when Shera threw it away was a woman as good as Via. The sense of regret even more bothered him if he remembered all his bad treatment on Via and Lyla. In fact, he once referred to Lyla as an illegitimate child, the result of Via's affair and an obscure man. Especially when he scolded Lyla while playing in her son's room. If you remember all that, you want to feel like the Hero is punishing himself.

The man then rubbed a tear that almost fell on the tail of his eye. Then look back at Via and Lyla.

"Lyla, you have a surprise for Lyla. Lyla want to hear?" ask Via.

"You, Mother ..."

The look on the little girl's face turned enthusiastic when she heard her mother's words. "Lyla has a father, does Mother?"

"Have, Honey. Lyla's dad is here. I'd like to see Lyla."

"Where's Lyla's father, Mother. Lyla wants to see you, "he asked excitedly.

Hearing Lyla's words made Wira drop her tears. How adorable Lyla is with all her innocence. The hero smiled happily. Hope Lyla will accept it if she finds out that she's her father.

Slowly, Via tried to explain to Lyla. "But Lyla has to promise. So a good son, and filial father. Because I love Lyla."

"Yes, Mother."

"Honey, listen to mother, yes," Via grasped the fingers of her daughter. "His father Lyla was Om Wira. Om Wira darling and want to hug Lyla."

The same thing happened again, when the smile that adorned Lyla's innocent face disappeared just by hearing the name of Wira.

"No!" he said it was accompanied by a head. "Lyla's father is not Om Wila, Mother. Om Wila is evil. Likes lyla and Mother. Om Wila helped Mother to fall. Lyla's scared of Om Wila."

"No, Honey. Om Wira is not evil and accidentally push mother. Om Wira also wants to apologize to Lyla. Lyla remember, what did Mother say? Good children must forgive the wrong people."

The sadness on Lyla's face became more visible. "Lyla's scared, Mother."

Noticing the fear on Lyla's face, Via grabbed the little girl's body and hugged her.

"Mother, Lyla's fine if you don't have a father. Lyla has a mother. Upin and Ipin also have no father. But they are not sad. Lyla's not sad if she doesn't have a father."

Via did not speak anymore. He remembered the doctor's message not to impose his will on Lyla.

On the other hand, Wira no longer able to stem her tears. Lyla just seemed so enthusiastic about meeting her father, but again sad when she heard her mother say that Wira is her father.

If Via stretched his chest and opened the door to apologize to him, then the rejection he got from his own son. However, Wira realized, all came from his own mistakes. He leaned his back behind the window. It felt like hugging Lyla and giving all her affection for her little daughter.
