Mother is Not a Night Woman

RAINBOW AFTER RAIN

"Dear, relax. Everything's gonna be okay." The hero hugged Via, rubbing his hair and back. She cried again, hiding her face in her husband's chest.

"How can I calm down, my dear? Lyla was unconscious. He's never been like this before."

"Patience, Honey. Don't be like this." Wira again tried to calm his wife from her worries. "Try to calm down."

From a distance, Mr. Gunawan walked in a hurry. After getting a call from home telling her what happened to her granddaughter, she canceled an important meeting and rushed to the hospital.

"What happened to Lyla?" his question was so in front of the hero. "Isn't she okay this morning?"

"Lyla had a fever all night, Dad. But the next morning he was fine. He is still playing with Gael" replied Wira. "Mother said she had also finished playing in the back garden, after which she complained of fatigue. So auntie took her to the room for a break."

The middle-aged man rubbed his face, then walked towards the glass window. He looked at his grandson from there with sadness. "What did the doctor say?"

"It is necessary to have a blood transfusion because the platelets are very decreased. Lyla lost consciousness."

Hearing that answer, Mr. Gunawan closed his eyes, holding back the tears from falling. He turned to look at Via who was still crying in the arms of Wira. While in the corner there Shera was still crying leaning on Surya.

It felt so sad, they were just happy because there was hope for Lyla's recovery, but the test came back. Only prayer and hope can be said in each other's hearts.

The night ....

Lyla was still lying unconscious with some medical equipment attached to her body. On his right side was a Via that did not move at all from his side. The woman rubbed Lyla's hair, while reading a fairy tale she often told before Lyla fell asleep.

Every word that was said was accompanied by tears, hoping that Lyla would wake up and ask for milk as she had always been accustomed to.

"Lyla can hear you, right? Lyla has to be strong. Later if Lyla recovers, you'll make lots of dresses for Lyla" she whispered in Lyla's ear.

The hero approaches, embracing the wife shortly after Via finishes reading a story.

"Darling ..." Via did not reply. His gaze was still fixed on Lyla's pale face, so Wira also sat by her side. "Go home and rest. I'll keep Lyla here."

Via shook his head, then wiped his tears. "No, Mas. I don't want to leave him. Lyla will look for me when she wakes up."

"But you need a break. Remember, we also have Gael at home. He needs his mother, too." The hero is still trying to persuade, but Via again shook his head.

"But Lyla needs me more." Regardless of the words of the Hero, Via laid his head on the same pillow as Lyla, then wrapped his hands around the tiny body. "Let me stay here, Mom. Please don't ask me to leave Lyla."

"All right," he said, nodding. "Then eat first, then rest. Look, your face is also pale now."

Via just smoothed with a headband. As a mother whose child is sick, let alone to eat, breathing also feels very tight.

Not wanting to add to the sadness of the wife, Wira was silent. He kissed his wife and son in turn, then sat down by Lyla's side and clasped her hands.

Meanwhile, Shera and Surya are in the hospital canteen.

"Shera .. Please eat. You haven't eaten at all this day" Surya said when he saw Shera just stirring the food in front of him with a spoon.

"I'm not hungry, Mom."

The man clasped his wife's hand, then looked her in the face. "You think not eating will help you? If you're sick, how can you take care of Lyla."

"But the food was tasteless, Mas. I'm sick of seeing it."

"Darling, come on .. You're nauseous not because the food is bad. But because your appetite is down. Just eat a little. You'll get sick later."

Shera grabbed back her tablespoon, then slowly fed the small amount of food to her mouth. However, the taste of the food was torturous to his tongue and throat. Shera was also nauseous again. He put down the spoon violently, then ran towards the bathroom.

Surya soon followed, massaging the nape of Shera who was regurgitating food that had just entered his stomach.

"This is the result if you eat late. See, if it hurts like this how can I take care of Lyla."

"I'm still strong, Mom."

Shera walked out of the bathroom after washing her face with water. Hope the cold water can make him feel refreshed. However, just a few steps, his body collapsed. Lucky Surya was behind him, so it immediately caught his body.

Panicked, Surya immediately carried Shera and brought her to the IGD.

Every test has some wisdom behind it. As the rainbow comes after the rain, it is the promise of nature that after the rain, the rainbow will bring beauty. Every rain must have a rainbow, only the human eye can sometimes not see it.

Behind the sadness that Shera and Surya felt, there was a speck of happiness tucked away there. The doctor just told me about Shera's pregnancy.

The woman is still unable to believe that she is two-bodied, after the results of an examination a few months ago that stated she would be difficult to have another child. She cried happily in the arms of her husband.

"You see, miracles are always there when we try" whispered Surya in Shera's ear.

"Yes, Mas. Lyla would be so happy to know she'd have two sisters. Gael and soon our son."

Surya just nodded with a nod, then hugged his wife again.
