After dinner, Shera invited Via to talk while walking in the back garden. Although Wira has forbidden, but Via still fulfill the wishes of Shera. Even Lyla was not willing if her mother went alone with an aunt who for her was very fierce.
While exploring the park, they chatted casually. Shera was so confident showing Via, about his influence in the house.
"This house is still exactly the same as the first time I set foot here," said Shera circulating her gaze in the spacious park. Garden lights are very beautiful at night so spoil the eyes. "When I stay here, I really like to take a walk in the park at night."
"Yes, this park is very beautiful" said Via.
Shera breathed in some fresh air that night, closing her eyes. "Do you know, I used to be either dad or mom would yell from the balcony. If they find me still in the park at this hour. So too with the hero. Especially since I was pregnant with Lyla. My mind is too much to take care of me."
The jealousy! That is how Via feels. However, the hero is her husband. And it is common to have jealousy in her husband's ex-wife. However, as much as possible he did not show it.
"Thank God. I'm glad to hear it."
Shera furrowed her brows hearing Via's remark. The woman was thinking that Via might be self-conscious that the Hero still hasn't forgotten about her. "What's? You happy to hear that?" shera said while laughing sarcastically.
"Yes ..." Via smiled brightly. "That means that if I get pregnant, Mas Wira will treat me like that too. Or could it be more?"
Not to be outdone, Shera also constantly tells Via how old Wira and her parents loved her very much. However, it was quite unexpected for the woman, as Via showed no jealousy or angry reaction at all. He looks very relaxed, with a smile that always adorns his face.
"You're sure the hero and his family will treat you the same way I do?" ask her confidently.
"Not really. I know I'm new to this family, but my mom and dad have been so good to me."
"Yes, you're right. Mom and Dad were very good. But what about the hero? Wira used to love me so much. He's the one who chased me and forced me to marry him. He fulfilled his promise to my late father" Shera smiled meaningfully. "Em, sorry Via, I seem to be talking too much. I didn't mean to make you jealous. I'm just thinking about the past."
"It's okay, doesn't everybody have a past ..."
"We got married because God has arranged for us in a unique way. And that which has been joined by the hand of God, shall not be easily separated."
Hearing Via's reply made Shera take a deep breath. He never expected that Via would dare to give him a challenging answer. "Are you sure Wira really loves you?"
Via smiled back, "Didn't Sister Shera have seen the evidence?"
Instantly the smile full of arrogance that adorned the face of Shera dimmed, so remember the lipstick marks on the lips of Wira, even with some red marks that look quite clear on the neck of Via, who has been trying to hide it ever since. Shera was trapped by her own question.
I do not know if Mas Wira has more feelings for me or not. But I have the right to defend what is mine said Via inwardly.
They then sat side by side in a chair. Shera was silent for a while, until she finally started talking again.
"I want to thank you, because you've been taking care of my son all this time" Shera said. As if to affirm Via that she is the real mother of Lyla.
Via hid his clenched hand as it tried to dampen his unpleasant feelings. She can resist jealousy when Shera recounts all her sweet memories with Wira, but can't help herself when the woman in front of her easily claims to be the mother of Lyla, after his evil deeds, he throws away his own flesh and blood.
Still trying as quietly as possible, Via turned to Shera. "And I want to thank you, because you threw it away. So that I could feel motherhood, from an amazing child like Lyla."
Like a crushing blow, Via's speech really made Shera's confidence fade instantly. The woman could not speak anymore. His face had been tangled like a dry canoebo, while Via continued to smile brightly.
"If Sister Shera is done talking, I have to go in. It's time for Lyla to go to bed. Good night." Without excuse, Via stood up from his seat. He stepped out leaving Shera still frozen in place.
