Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 121 “Rindu”
“It is not good to be covered for a long time in sorrow. Let the story in your past run and be a process to change to the present, a better time.”
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Not to forget Ilham did his job, carrying his tiny baby who weighed only two kilos three ounces to chant the adhan near the baby's ear. After that Ilham kissed the cheek of the baby before the baby was re-entered into the incubator room to be warmed with a special light.
When Ilham felt that his mind was safe in the incubator, Ilham waited in front of the operating room again. The eye of Inspiration cannot stem its tears anymore, its heart is so fragile that it is helplessly sprawled with its tightly closed eyes.
“Honey, I'm here. I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of you. Hiks... hiks... hiks...” Back the cries of Inspiration broke, stunned with a weak body.
“Kak, who is patient yes! I'm sure, Maya's sister will be cured.” Aletha patted the slumped shoulders of Ilham.
“Iya Al, hopefully.” So short, but full of great hope.
“Oh yes, I want to go ahead for a moment to meet Sofia and Ilham's brother do not condemn absurd stupidity. Because this is pure destiny, which we cannot change as we wish. Patience, God is longing for the brother of Inspiration and reprimanding in this way.” So struck the heart of Inspiration every word spoken by Aletha.
Ilham felt slapped with the words of Aletha, because Ilham realized all this time he also rarely did five prayers in time. Even one day he only practiced dzuhur prayer only, even then during the break.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Al...” Sofia waved her hand as she looked at Aletha from ten meters away.
“Sofia..” Aletha followed back Sofia's hand, then Sofia walked with a shaky step and after being in front of Aletha then Sofia gave a paper bag containing ice cream.
“What's this, Sofia?” aletha asked curiously, because when carrying the paper bag it felt so light.
“Emm... as usual, Captain Keenan ordered it and asked me to give it to you this night, because. Good thing you're in the hospital so, I can freely give it to you, Al.” Sofia smiled at me.
“Thank you, because you already want to make it and even.. willing to send it last night.” Aletha chuckles.
“No problem, you are my good friends. And I won't be able to give you anything but this. Yeah, I gotta get back to the store again, Al. Good night,” Sofia said before leaving the hospital.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Aletha abandoned her intention to enter her room after seeing Alina, Mama Nina, Bu Laila and Larisa fall asleep soundly on the mat they had brought with them.
It's strange that such a thing is done by Mama Nina and her family, no pity what Alina was a child. Isn't that right, reader?
“No, I have to keep waking up Mama and the others, because I also have to take care of Alina's health. It's not good if He's in a hospital environment.” Aletha opened the door of her huddle, with the clattering of feet Aletha woke Mama Nina up first.
Aletha woke Mama Nina up by shaking her body slowly. And not long after that Mama Nina blinked her eyes to recover her vision.
“Aletha, has the operation finished?” mama Nina asked.
“It's done, Ma. Now it's better for Mama and the others to just go home. Aletha should spend the night here guarding sister Maya. Because once every three hours Aletha must check the state of sister Maya.”
“What about Alina? If He feels thirsty?”
“Aletha is ready, Ma. Soon Papa will pick you all up with Rania.” Light Aletha after calling Bagas Kara to pick up Mama and other family members.
Aletha put the paper bag on her desk. After that he held Alina before Alina was brought home by Mama Nina. Kissing Alina's cheek was definitely Aletha did, as she would spend the night in the hospital. Despite that Aletha always loved Alina, but the job required her to always be professional.
The car has been traveling at a moderate speed. And Aletha returned to her room after delivering Mama Nina and the others to the front area of the hospital.
“Luckily the ice cream Sofia made melted long ago. Still nyus so it feels,” said Aletha open the lid of ice cream in a container.
One mouthful of ice cream had melted into Aletha's mouth. The shadow of Keenan immediately danced in his eyes. The smile had expanded as Aletha recalled the small memo written there.
...[.Good night Neng her Aa Keenan. Sorry if all day Aa can't give you any news. Here a lot of events that must be done patrol every night, even during the day also have to carry out duties. If Aa still doesn't contact Neng eat Aa's on patrol. Nevertheless, Aa will never stop loving and mentioning Neng and Alina in every prayer of Aa. Take care of yourself... Aa Keenan's.]...
“Neng will also always pray for Aa's safety while on duty. Neng... miss the same Aa.”
Aletha again fed the ice cream that had almost melted into her mouth. And it still felt softly melted in Aletha's mouth. Chocolate used as a sprinkling of ice cream that makes Aletha a little treated will longing for Keenan.
It was two in the evening, Aletha was drowsy in the midst of her suffering. But he can't just sleep and neglects his duties to visit Maya who is still in the ICU room.
“I pray that my sister Maya will soon be aware of this coma. Pity the three older children and also Ilham's brother who still need a brother beside them.” Aletha looked at the weakly drooping Maya.
“Why not sleep, hmm?” taya Aletha who managed to make Arga surprised.
“Eh, sister Aletha. Since when is it here?”
“Emm. Can you sit here?”
Arga nodded, patting the seat bench next to him that was empty. Aletha sat down and reopened her torch with Arga.
“What's up? Is there a problem?”
“No, Brother. Arga only.. miss the same family that can love each other, especially a figure... Father.”
“Arga... do not know what to do in responding to Daddy's actions. Because Daddy should be put in jail.”
Aletha felt sorry for the Arga family that had begun to crack since Mr. Jastin entered the mafia. Always act harshly in every pronunciation and deed of Mr. Jastin when his wife and child defy his wishes or orders.
“It is not good to be covered for a long time in sorrow. Let the story in your past run and be a process to change to the present, a better time.”
“Didn't you know if Daddy and Husband Sister are a state servant who is ready to do the task to eradicate the mafia and also the drug dealer, hmm? But... Brother will not report all of your Daddy's actions to them. Just let them search and be able to solve this problem.” Aletha looked at Arga, then patted him on the shoulder before saying goodbye and returning to her room.
“Thank you, brother, because you want to give advice to Keenan. May Brother Aletha always be in the protection of Allah SWT.”
Aletha guaranteed Arga's prayer, after which Aletha returned to her room to lay her body on the mattress of the hospital gurney uniform in her room.
Slowly both of Aletha's eyes closed tightly. Aletha had entered the dream world after fifteen minutes and then fell asleep.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Before dawn Keenan and Garda had awakened from their respective dream worlds. After that they alternately cleaned their bodies, because that morning they had to go to the kombes' office to discuss follow-up at seven in the morning.
“Tring... Tring..”
Keenan's phone suddenly rang, inscribed with one name that Keenan was very familiar with all this time. In a spirit that shook Keenan's chest received a call from Aletha.
“Assalamu'alaikum, Aa..” With a smile sumringah Aletha said greetings to welcome Keenan.
“Wa'alaikumsalam, China. How did you wake up?”
Keenan frowned when he realized Aletha was not home. With all the questions Keenan had thrown to Aletha, so did Alina who kept Keenan questioning.
“Neng, can not if Neng focus first on the development of Alina? Pity Him later if in stay continue with the Mother.” Keenan was so quiet as to convey his opinion to Aletha.
“Excuse Neng, Aa. Neng could not do such a thing at will. Neng's job is indeed a heart surgeon, Neng can not leave Neng's job just like that. Like Aa who can't cancel country duty.”
“Alright then, Aa feels confident if Neng can set the time to be with Alina.”
“Iya, Aa. Oh yea... Neng thanked Aa for giving ice cream like Neng.” tastes
“Iya Neng, equally.”
Keenan tried to understand how Aletha was positioned at that time, the patient was so important to be rescued immediately.
Small talk is finally able to treat longing even if only briefly without greeting face to face. It was only through the air that Aletha felt relieved if Keenan was fine. And the call was ended after hearing the voice of the morning prayer.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Blue code... blue code..”.
The sign is so squealing for every doctor and also family members of the patient concerned. Worry instantly stopped in the heart of Inspiration when Maya's room rang the bell like that.
“Kak Maya..”.
Soon Aletha goes to the ICU to check on Maya.
Seriate...
