Mother is Not a Night Woman
Wira Just Wants to Reply

Dinner continues with Shera's silence. Not a word came out of his lips. Only her gaze continued to be fixed on the figure of the young lady who had replaced her position. Via, a woman who was to him very ordinary with a not so striking appearance. However, the family's attitude towards her made the woman look even more special.

Shera also noticed, how the treatment of Via on Vira at the dining table. Via served her husband very well by picking up some side dishes that Wira liked, something that Shera had never done during her time as a wife. The woman looked down, she remembered the past, where she was treated like a queen in the house.

Why do I feel sick seeing their affection? Did Via show me all this on purpose? Just look at how I showed my position in this house. Inner Shera.

His gaze then led to the figure of little Lyla who was so spoiled. How Via patiently teaches how to eat right so as not to fall apart.

"Why didn't Lyla eat just feed auntie?" ask Shera. "He was too small to eat alone."

Via smiled faintly, then rubbed the top of his little princess' head. "Lyla is an independent child, Ma'am." replied Via, then looked at Lyla. "Well, right, honey?"

"Yes, Mother!" answer Lyla.

"But look, the meal is still so messy." Shera interrupted quickly, making Lyla glance in fear at him. "Just ask aunt to bribe him."

The little girl dropped her tablespoon, then looked at Via while pulling the end of her clothes, "Mother, Lyla was afraid. That auntie is fierce!"

As usual, Via will show a smile to the little girl, as if explaining that everything will be fine. "It's okay, honey. Mother Shera is also Lyla's mother. Let's eat some more. Lyla can do it?"

Once again, Lyla glanced towards Shera. Via who understood the little girl's fear immediately persuaded her. "Lyla darling, let's eat again! Mommy wants to see your child eat smart, like Upin and Ipin. Lyla often sees, Upin and Ipin can also eat alone. Not bribed anymore."

Like any child in general, Lyla was so quickly crushed by Via's persuasion. Moreover, Via always explains something by giving the example of a cartoon film that became Lyla's favorite.

"Yes, Mother. Lyla wants to eat the wobbly chicken of Upin Ipin, "he replied with a cheerful smile. He grabbed the spoon and started eating.

Seeing that, Shera felt increasingly burned by envy. For Lyla is so adoring, and can only be persuaded by a Via. Though now there is herself who is the real mother of Lyla.

Shera's gaze turned to the hero. It had never been imagined by Shera before that Wira could ignore his presence as now. Given how long ago Wira loved and spoiled her. Whatever his wish, it was always filled easily by Wira and his family.

Even Wira did not look at me in the slightest. Did he just give me back? He couldn't have forgotten me. Moreover, my successor is only a woman like Via. in inner Shera.

"Em, girl, can I ask you something?" said Shera.

The hero only glanced at a glance, then continued eating without telling. Noticing the cold attitude of the Hero, the mother sitting next to Shera immediately broke the ice.

"What's up, Shera?" ask mother.

"Mom, are my wedding photos with Wira still there? If so, I'd like to ask one for a memento."

And, that question made mom feel bad. I don't know what to answer to Shera. Since his relationship with Via has improved, Wira asks to get rid of everything related to Shera in the house. "If it ..."

"There's not one! I asked Aunt Arum to burn everything." Wira's frontal answer made his ex-wife stunned. Several times he managed to catch his breath because he felt tight, as if he still did not believe it completely.

"You're asking Auntie to burn everything?" shera asked in disbelief.

"What is it kept for? It's just a memory that is meaningless" replied Wira. At once the whole body of Shera bristled to hear the words of the Hero.

"Oh, okay. It's okay, I think you're still keeping it," Shera said with tears in her eyes.

Nah! The hero just wants to repay me. I'm sure he didn't really burn everything.

It was not only Shera who was shocked to hear the words of Wira. Via feels bad, because Wira really shows her dislike for the woman who once filled her life. However, Via realizes that is what Wira is if he already hates something. Because he had also felt how hard a Wiratama.
