Mother is Not a Night Woman
Mother Do not Go!
If happiness and new hope are enveloping the Sudarmadi family, then on the other hand there is Shera who is lamenting his mistakes.
With tears in her eyes, the woman was packing her things. After the incident this afternoon, he decided to no longer exist in the life of the Hero. For him it was enough to prove Via in protecting Lyla. She does not want to be a barrier to the happiness of others, especially Lyla who has not been able to accept herself as a mother.
Lyla's got the love of a perfect mother from Via. She doesn't need an evil mother like me at all. Shera muttered inwardly.
He took a picture on the nightstand. The bright smile of a little girl was so mesmerizing with her blazing spirit.
"Yes, right! I don't have to doubt Via anymore. She's a perfect mother. Without thinking about the child in her womb, she saved Lyla."
Inserting the framed photo into the suitcase, Shera wiped the tears afterwards. With a smile that was there.
Yes, I will start my new life in a new place. There are only wounds here. And I'm tired of all this Shera said inwardly.
In that dim room, Shera pondered all her faults. About her grudge against the Hero who ultimately destroyed her.

A beautiful morning, where life begins again. There are millions of hopes, that hopefully today is better than yesterday.
Dragging a suitcase, Shera comes out of the apartment. That morning he will depart for his hometown far enough from the capital, to start a new life and release all old memories.
"Give the keys to the apartment as well as this card to Mr. Gunawan or to his assistant if he comes here," Shera told a woman while giving a key and also a card that had been given to him.
"Okay" replied the forty-year-old woman.
"Thank you for serving me so well while I'm here. You can go back to work at Mr. Gunawan's house after this."
After saying goodbye to the woman, Shera again dragged her suitcase to the elevator that would take her to the lobby. Even though it was hard to leave everything behind, he decided to live a better life after all the bad things that happened.
On arrival downstairs, he chose to sit for a while on a sofa while playing his phone. Threshed clockwise on his wrist. Time has shown ten o'clock in the morning.
Silent for a while, Shera recalled her conversation with Via over the phone. Last night, he said goodbye to the woman and left Lyla. A drop of tears that fell down his face. After making sure nothing was left, he stood up from his seat, and stepped into the lobby to wait for the online taxi he had just booked.
"Mother ..." The sound of a small child calling, made Shera fixated. Within seconds, both of his eyeballs had been filled with clear liquid. He looked at the source of the voice. Not far from him, a little girl stood holding a doll, staring at him.
"Lyla?"
Accompanied by Via, Lyla approached her mother, and for the first time, she showed a smile to Shera.
"Where are you going?" lyla asked as soon as she was in front of the mother. Shera was crouching in front of the girl, with tears streaming down.
She wore Lyla's face and kissed her forehead fondly. A moment later, he tightly hugged the tiny body.
"Don't be a pelgi, Mother. Later Lyla wants to meet Mother."
Unable to hold back her happiness, Shera hugged Lyla again. This time a little long. It was as if the embrace was a sign of farewell.
"Mother should go, dear. Lyla has to be a good boy. Serving father and Mother Via. Lyla will soon have a sister. Lyla has a friend. So good brother, yeah ..." Lyla replied with a nod, making Shera kiss her forehead and the rest of her face.
As much as possible, Shera forced herself to smile, even though her heart was deeply wounded. Even with his heavy feelings left the baby who is now struggling with his pain. However, not wanting his presence to be a bully, he chose to leave.
"Dear mother Lyla" he said.
"Lyla also loves Mother. Do not be long, Mother. Later if Lyla is healed, Lyla wants to take the mother to the zoo. Same with Mom and Dad Via. Mother says, if Lyla teyuss beldoa, then God kabulin Lyla prayer."
"Yes, honey."
Shera wiped away the tears she had been trying to hold back, then rose from her crouching position. "Via, thank you for all the love you gave Lyla. Even if I was her real mother, but I wouldn't be able to give her the love you gave her. Now I have to go. May you always be happy."
Via rubbed his face where a circle of tears dripped. "Be careful, on the road, Sister Shera."
Shortly after, a man who was an online taxi driver approached them. Shera said goodbye soon.

Arriving at the airport, Shera rushed to the ticket counter. He chose a flight ticket to a destination city.
After taking care of everything, he wanted to go inside to check in. But suddenly ...
"Shera!!" a man's voice called his name. The beautiful woman looked at the source of the voice. I was surprised when I saw who was there. Surya, Mr. Gunawan's loyal assistant is walking towards him.
"You're going?" ask Surya.
The woman lowered her head, holding back her tears from falling again. As much as possible he strengthened himself in front of the man who had been present in his life.
