Mother is Not a Night Woman
Sorry, I've Overdone!

The hero jumped in shock when he heard the thunderous screams of his father echoing in the room. He rubbed his chest slowly, then glanced towards the living room where father, mother and Via were sitting together.

With a doubtful step, he approached. If you have dealt with his favorite son-in-law, it is certain that the middle-aged man will set up his biological children to defend the son-in-law. Not infrequently, Wira becomes the main suspect if something happens to Via.

"What's up, Dad? You can not scream," said Wira dropped her body on the sofa. His outstretched hand grabbed some snacks at the table, however, the back of his hand instantly got a pat gift from his father.

"Awc ... It's sick!" he said while shaking his hand.

"What did you do to your wife? Doesn't he want ice cream? Why don't you fill it?" the snapping makes Wira again rubbed his chest.

The hero glanced at the three people sitting there alternately, then let out a long sigh. "I'm starting to feel like a stepson in this house" he said, trying to melt the atmosphere.

"If need be I'll kick you out of this house if anything," said my father glaring his eyes.

"Oh my goodness ... Dad, imagine, Via wants ice cream, but it's in Singapore."

"Then what's the problem if it's only in Singapore?"

Wira gaping in disbelief hearing his father's words. "Well, to Singapore just for ice cream?" said wonder. "I know the price of ice cream used to be just a dollar. But ..." He did not continue his speech when the eye-painting came from his mother.

"Singapore is not far away. What's wrong with taking your wife to Singapore? Let's just say you're on your honeymoon" said the mother pressured.

Wira then glanced at Via who had lowered his head, then tried to explain to father and mother who seemed to stare cynically at him.

"So that means I have to indulge in excessive cravings to buy ice cream to Singapore, is that it? And tomorrow-tomorrow if he wants to eat sushi, then we have to go to Japan to buy it, cravings kebabs have to go to Turkey, if spaghetti cravings have to go to Italy, and if cravings eat dates should buy it to Arab?" The speech of the charged Hero increasingly made both his parents stare furiously, while Via looked down, with eyes that had been filled with clear liquid.

"Wira!" exclaim father. "You're the father of the child that Via conceived. You shouldn't talk like this!"

"I know, Dad ... But if you go to Singapore just to buy ice cream, isn't that too much?"

Via who had only been a listener in the debate was silent, he did not even dare to raise his head.

I shouldn't have asked carelessly. I should have been self-conscious from the beginning that Mas Wira didn't think I was important. I'm just an orphanage girl who just happens to be lucky to live in this family. Now they are arguing just because of me. Inner Via.

Hearing the words of the Hero, he finally stood up, then wiped his tears.

"It doesn't matter, Mas. I don't want the ice cream anymore. I didn't know that ice cream was in Singapore, so I asked for it. And sorry I asked for too much. I won't ask for anything anymore."

Without another word, Via stepped away. Walk the stairs one by one to the top floor. Wira stayed sitting sculpting, with gifts of eye-lotting from both parents.

"Do you see the results of your actions? You've gone too far!" said dad pressed, then stepped away into a room. Unable to bear it, the mother finally caught up, leaving Wira who was still frozen. Suddenly the look of sadness on Via's face made him feel guilty.

"Have I gone too far, huh?" muttered Wira

*****

Upon arriving upstairs, Via hurriedly entered Lyla's room and locked the door. He immediately sat on the lip of the bed, with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly the shadow of Shera's words some time ago gnashed back. When the woman arrogantly said, while pregnant with Lyla, Wira was very indulgent and obeyed whatever her wishes even though it was a heavy desire. Even Shera claimed to have been to Paris just to buy a branded bag.

If in the past Shera demanded this and that, then it is different from Via, who has never asked anything from her husband since the beginning of marriage until now. However, when asking for something, the husband instead considers his request excessive.

And, the words of the Hero who said the desire to crave Via excessive as if to affirm how meaningless Via is to the Hero, that is how in the mind of Via.

Via stared at his reflection through a mirror, then wiped away the tears. "Who am I really? I'm just a surrogate mother to Lyla in the eyes of Mas Wira. My desire to eat ice cream alone is considered excessive. I didn't know that ice cream was in Singapore. I wouldn't ask you to know from the beginning that ice cream was from far enough away."
