Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 105 “Surprise You Give”

“Holding down that already rumbling longing is not easy, but I will always try by all means to ease up. Like when I magnified my sense of patience when the middle distance separated us.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Even afternoon had arrived, the time for Aletha to return home after doing her duty as a doctor was finished at this hour. And the night shift will be replaced by Dr. Irham.

“Yes Allah, it feels so tired. Son, are you in there also feeling tired like Mommy?”

Aletha stroked her stomach gently and occasionally her baby moved very actively. Makes Aletha feel happy when she feels the movement of her baby. And the long day made Aletha that night fall asleep earlier than usual.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

One month had passed so quickly, the preparations for the seven-monthly event had already been carefully planned. And another week Aletha's seven-monthly event will take place. But during that time Keenan and his troops still have no news or signs of returning to Jakarta.

”Aa... does Aa know how Neng feels until now? Only longing for Aa was left until this second as well. Did Aa jiga feel that longing while away from Neng like this?”

Aletha stared at the screen of her phone and hoped that Keenan would give news of her return. But the results did not match what Aletha expected. Until then, Keenan was still busy and his number was very difficult to contact even though Aletha had often tried to call him.

“This lantern light can treat Neng's longing to Aa. Because it is this thing that unites us in the bonds of love. And this chocolate bar also makes Neng as an antidote to the longing of Neng to Aa.” Aletha smiled wryly.

Aletha ate one bite of chocolate stem that was in her hand. After the chocolate melted in his mouth until it ran out Aletha bit the chocolate until it was left.

“One chocolate vitamin I've eaten. Now you have to go back to work with high fighting. Spirit yes Mother's child!” aletha said with great enthusiasm.

Aletha went down the stairs and joined the rest of the family.

“Good morning everyone!” greet Aletha with a smile.

“Again!” reply everything almost in unison.

Aletha took a seat next to Laura. And breakfast was held together. It's just that Luna and Juan did not come to breakfast together, because that morning Juan was not feeling well so Luna had to take care of her husband first after the first to take care of her little son.

“Aunty, Larisa nebeng ya to hospital. You see there is a task from a sports teacher who requires a health test if you want to follow the swimming race.” Larisa smiled so sweetly.

Larisa sok sweet tuh let her aunty to join the hospital. Wkwkwk

“Emm... That means you want to participate in a swimming competition so, Sa? How to take a test of everything.” Aletha frowned.

“Iya, aunty.” Larisa nodded. “Ya ... Larisa would like to join, although.. later lose.”.

Larisa laughs, because in fact she is not an expert in swimming. However, occasionally he wanted to participate in a swimming race to fill out activities while getting a certificate that would help him in enrolling in high school later.

“Is there no coach?”

“There, but Larisa males aunty. The coach is fierce and pretentious cool even though his old age is severe. The appearance is also mediocre,” said Larisa.

“Little children also want to see a good look. Learn the real first, just be aware if acting strange.” Aletha stared hard at Larisa.

“Aunty... Larisa was already in the eleventh grade of Junior High. is still in her teens.” Larisa hung her calamt into the air.

Aletha raised her hand in the air and was ready to slap Larisa's back. So that makes Larisa run and hang her sentence on the air.

“Don't be too hard with your own nephew, Al. We need to learn SA... BAR...” Laura smiled at me.

Aletha always remembered what Laura said, to be patient. So Aletha let Larisa turn on the music aloud with the sound of music like a discotheque. Although Aletha was already furious with the behavior of her nephew, but she also had to realize that her past was more than Larisa.

“Sa... aunty can say something?”

“Please, aunty.” Larisa is smiling.

“Aunty just wanted to say don't let you fall into inappropriate company. Take good care of yourself, you better concern yourself with positive activities.”

At once Larisa turned to Aletha who was focusing on driving her car. Larisa stared fixedly at Aletha's face which was now different. More patient, calm and smiley.

“Aunty take it easy, Larisa will take good care of herself. But... activities that position is anything if in school?”

“Many, participate in extracurricular PMR, Scouts, sports activities that are prominent in your school and another, Islamic studies. Not that you like to listen to things like that, you do not forget the struggle of your Father and Mother who tried to educate you properly.” Aletha moved her hand to replace the discotheque teen-style song channel with an Islamic study in the morning.

‘Thank you aunty, because aunty as remembering Larisa with promiscuity.’ Larisa monologues in heart.

Aletha suddenly stepped on the brake pedal after seeing Arga walking on a fork in the road near Siloam Hospitals. And after stopping her car on the side of the road Aletha lowered her car glass a little.

“Arga... login gih!” pinta Aletha half yelled.

‘Arga? Who's He?’

“Iya, Brother. What's up?” ask Arga later.

“Log in the back seat, Brother will take you to school. It's still early in the morning anyway, so it's okay if Brother takes you for a while.” Aletha curled her lips perfectly.

There is no other choice for Arga but to agree to Aletha's request after Aletha forces her. And Aletha did her car back to SMP Bakti Mukti which is not far from the hospital where she worked.

‘Arga? His face was handsome, like a sholeh child. Who is He really? Why does aunty know him?’ ask Larisa in your heart.

”Thank you, Brother. May Brother Aletha always be in the protection of Allah SWT.” Arga got down from Aletha's car and stepped towards the school.

“Good morning, Doc!” greet Hakim, Sapphira, Khaira and Naura.

“Morning also you. Oh yeah, what about today? Ready to do the job, right? Remember, in half a month you will have a real doctor's oath.” The four nodded for sure.

Aletha made a visit to several patients. After that he headed to Dimas' room to get a leave permit for his upcoming seven-month event. It was also impossible for Aletha to continue working when the seven-monthly event was addressed to her.

“Alright Aletha, I approve your leave letter. Take care of your health and your baby.” Flat and ordinary, Dimas also did not dare to look at Aletha.

“Thank you, Sir. And do not forget Mr. Dimas also attended the event my seven-month later, as well as invite also Bu Cinta.” Aletha offered an invitation to Dimas.

Dimas nodded, after which Aletha returned to her room. The morning schedule was quite loose, Aletha did not do the surgery, only did the visit in the morning, met with four doctors koas during the day and the afternoon Aletha had her schedule home.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The sunlight has risen and since dawn Mama Nina has been busy in the kitchen to prepare some needs that will be used in the seven-monthly event Aletha later that night assisted by some neighbors who have been gilt. Because only the elderly who usually understand the completeness for such a customary event.

“It needs to be a little bit ambeng and the others, Neng. But let's just make it later, now you prepare the clothes that your daughter and son will wear later.” Said Mbah Sekar, a resident elder who lives near Bagas Kara's house.

“Good, Mbah. Then I stay a while.” Mama Nina headed to Aletha's room.

In the room Aletha is busy with her patient data which must be checked how the heart health condition with each complaint. But Aletha put the data on her desk as Mama Nina walked into her room.

“What's up, Ma?”

“Mama just wanted to give this to you. Because this array will cover part of your body later, son. Oh yeah, what about Keenan? Is there any news?”

Aletha just sniffed her shoulder, because she did not know with Keenan. If only Keenan could not go home that day somehow their seven-monthly event.

“Sabar, who knows later He will come home with your Guard and Papa. We'll wait until later in the afternoon. If there is no news, we can only read the letter of Yusuf.” Mama Nina rubbed Aletha's back.

Aletha nodded, both ends of her lips curved up perfectly. And Aletha could only give up on what would happen later.

Even after the afternoon had arrived, Aletha prepared a series of gifts Mama Nina placed in a tray. And once in a while he stared at his pinsel lying on the bed, hoping Keenan would contact him. But there were no phone calls from Keenan, only Ilham and Hakim often called Aletha.

All had gathered to attend the seven-monthly event Aletha, including Hakim, Khaira, Safira and Naura who attended the event. And Inspiration with Eyes also does not want to miss for sure. The couple who once made a fuss, how not. Ilham took their first son, the second son in the arms of Ilham and the third child still in the belly of Maya.

“Aa... is it true Aa does not go home?”

Aletha looked at her phone back. And all her messages were read by Keenan, making Aletha smile. A spark of hope for Keenan's return made Aletha feel happy.

”Assalamu'alaikum,” say hello from outside.

“Wa'alaikumsalam,” reply from inside in unison.

Keenan and Garad greet their entire family. And the last line of Keenan stood before Aletha and even stared fixedly at the condensing netra. Because Keenan could no longer hold Aletha's body in his arms.

“Don't be sad, Aa is here.” Keenan wiped away the tears that had been spilled.

“Already, take off the miss later only. Now Keenan has to change into Aletha's clothes, put on kemben. Because the show will soon start.” Mama Nina led Keenan into the room to change into a tug.

In the seven-month event requires three stages, first tahlilan by reading letters in the room, seven kinds of flower baths in the bathroom and sleepy in the bedroom.

All the events were held with the smoothness given by God that night. And Aletha was asked to immediately change her clothes with dry clothes. The same with Keenan.

“A... Neng was worried if Aa did not come home earlier. Moreover, Aa did not give any news during the task there.” Aletha pursed her lips.

”Before Aa apologized, but Aa did deliberately not read a single message from Neng. Because Aa wants to test patiently what heart Neng waits for Aa to come home when Aa is on duty.” Keenan rubbed the top of Aletha's head, not forgetting to peek at her forehead.

“Holding down that already rumbling longing is not easy, but I will always try by all means to ease up. Like when I magnified my sense of patience when the middle distance separated us.” Aletha drowned her head in Keenan's warm embrace.

“And this is a surprise that Aa gave in a stressful time for Neng.”

“Ya already, change clothes first. Hugs are still wearing wet back. Or the... Neng wants to give me Aa ration huh?”

As soon as Aletha's eyes widened, she did not hesitate if her husband had a perverted brain. And Keenan's perversion made Aletha snort angrily, but still Aletha served Keenan with pleasure. And the battle in bed happened that night.

CENSORSHIP... CENSORSHIP... CENSORSHIP...

The lantern light seemed to direct the light very brightly, the love that was now a distance was able to be eroded perfectly. Nothing made Keenan's embrace stretch on the bed. And after feeling very tired Aletha fell asleep in Keenan's arms. Likewise with Keenan, he helped build love in the dreamland.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“The race will start soon and be requested for the participants to immediately gather in the swimming area and prepare to follow the match in the first round.” The host has informed all the attendees with his microphone.

Larisa who heard the voice immediately gathered to the race area. He tried to eliminate his nervousness so as not to be nervous when following the race in the first round. Occasionally he turned his head towards Aletha who was sitting in the audience seat, Aletha deliberately followed Larisa and gave support to her most gedhe niece.

“Excitement, Larisa” shouted Aletha.

Aletha raised her hand encouragingly for Larisa. And when Larisa saw Aletha who gave her spirit for her instantly her nervous sense was gone. Now Larisa is preparing to jump into the water immediately after the count of three.

Seriate...
