Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 123 “Salah Prediction”

“The mood will feel calm if we multiply dhikr, considering how great the power of God without us knowing. Because we as humans can only surrender to Him.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Dour... Dor... Dor...”

It sounded so clear from inside the post that was used as a resting place by Keenan, Garda and members of the police who were on patrol that afternoon. Instantly they were stunned from a place that made them comfortable to rest, then went out to make sure.

“Those shots seem to center on... out there.” Keenan sharpened his ears.

“Captain, we have to how?” ask one of the members of the police who do not want to be rash in acting.

“We first investigate what happened there. If they are not from Ergianus members or KKB troops we do not need to report all of that to Nemangkawi.” members Keenan looked at the entire group.

“Ready, Captain!” said all members of the police and the Guard in unison.

All rushed in full uniform and were protected with bulletproof clothing. Only the Guards and Keenan wore bulletproof vests, as the six policemen did not carry their bulletproof vests.

While in Yahukimo district seen there inter-tribal warfare. Where the Yali tribe with the Ngalik tribe is doing the action does not accept them. Throwing stones at each other, even there was also Mr. Sowa who participated in the war.

“You could say it's inter-tribal warfare. Look there is also Mr. Sowa, we can not report to the members of Nemangkawi. We can definitely handle it.” Keenan broke up in the war between the tribes.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Tring... Tring..”

Aletha's phone beedering loud, fortunately it did not make Alina wake up from her sleep. Aletha immediately grabbed her phone that was on the nightstand.

“Whose number is this? Why isn't his name listed on my contact?”

I don't know who the owner of the number is that makes Aletha hesitant to take her call. But Aletha could not ignore anyone's call, because Aletha was afraid if it was an emergency call.

“Halo,” says Aletha with a clean slit.

Aletha did not want if the chatter through the air would make Alina wake up, so she decided to get a little away from Alina.

“Assalamu'alaikum, sister Aletha.” It sounded from across with such a soft tone.

“Wa'alaikumsalam, what is this with... Arga?” aletha asked who knew little of Arga's voice.

“Iya, Brother. Arga needs Aletha's help right now. There's Daddy in the hospital, Mommy and sister Love feeling scared.” Arga was worried.

“What?” peekit Aletha's.

Aletha sighed, feeling tired of facing a villain like Mr. Jastin. Because Aletha already recognized Mr.'s attitude. Jastin is suspicious, it is certain that Mr. Jastin is not a low-class dealer and mobster, because Mr. Jastin knew very well what to do to hide his identity from the security forces.

“Alright, Brother will be there soon.” Aletha's disconnected feeling unbearable with Love and Madame Mourisa.

At the right time Alina awoke with a twinkle of eyes that emitted a bright light, like the lantern lights that Aletha and Keenan had as their love other than chocolate bars.

“Princess Mother is awake! Assalamu'alaikum princess sholehah her Father Mother.” Aletha played Alina's cheeks that had started to bulge.

Despite the distress call Aletha will not leave Alina and is negligent of her duties as a mother.

Aletha that morning busied herself with Alina, bathed, dressed so beautiful for Alina and did not forget to provide nutrition in the morning.

“Alina drink ASI first yes, son. Later left Mother again work, Alina with Grandma at home.” Aletha chattered long before Alina who was still so innocent, but Alina felt comfortable in the arms of Aletha.

Aletha went down the stairs by holding Alina in her cradle. After that give Alina to Bu Laila, because Mama Nina is still busy preparing the needs of Bagas Kara every morning.

“Bu, Aletha sends Alina to Mom again. Aletha has to work, because Aletha has an emergency call.” Aletha's eye rays radiated hope to Bu Laila.

“Mom doesn't matter if asked to keep Alina, son. But... I feel bad if I stay in this house continuously. While Rania now lives in Battalion.”

Aletha carved a smile on her lips, understanding what it was like to live in a place that was foreign and new to Laila. So he decided to invite Bu Laila to stay in his old house. The house near the beach as designed by him after the death of Dawn.

“Good morning, excuse me! Sorry Sir... Ma'am.. I will visit Cinta.” Aletha is ready to face Mr. Jastin with pigeon tame tactics.

“Iya, Doctor, please!”

It was clearly visible from the look on the face of Madam Mourisa who felt quite relieved after Aletha was present in the room of Love. However, the gaze of Mr. Juan kept sharpening and craving every move of Aletha.

“Excuse me Love, I check first yes! Breathe in, then exhale slowly.” Aletha smiled and did like a doctor in charge of visite to her patients.

“Good, Doc.” Love nodded.

Mr. Jastin did not want to let his guard down, especially considering Aletha was a woman who had been held hostage by Agus.

“Alhamdulillah, your condition has started to improve. Do not forget to continue to maintain a regular diet, the drug is also.”

It was still safe that second, but no longer after Arga entered the room. Because Arga was so indifferent to Mr. Jastin, the resentment that had burst his chest covered his love for a father and it had gone.

“No manners yes you!” shouted Mr. Jastin.

“What Arga did not hear wrong? Didn't Daddy educate Arga like this? So.. it is not Arga's fault if it does not respect Daddy as Arga's father.” Show Arga to Mr. Jastin.

Mr. Jastin began to growl with the behavior of Arga who continued to fight against him, unlike his wife and daughter who always obeyed if ordered.

Mr. Jastin stuffed his hand into the black suit he was wearing, as if he was reaching into something from inside. And it turns out to be true, Mr. Jastin points a gun at Arga.

“Arga... Daddy, Mommy please don't do anything to our children!” mrs Mourisa said with tears dripping down her cheeks.

“Please if Daddy wants to shoot Arga. Better Arga gone than Mommy or sister Cinta.” Arga seemed to not mess with what was said by him.

‘Crazy you Arga was asking for help. He's the wrong tactic, you son... ABG.’ Aletha monologues in heart.

Aletha had no other choice but to fight Mr. Jastin with his gun too. And the benign tactics of meepati have failed, now with hard tactics.

Aletha did not want if the person she thought was good would become a victim. So that he is eager to protect the Arga family from the threat of danger as near Mr. Jastin. And Aletha really did not want to beat around in terms of weaponry, but she did not want to be rash.

“Shut! If not, this bullet will kill you. This is my business with my son, don't interfere!” snapping Mr. Jastin.

Aletha sighed, but only in the heart. And his heart was already irritated, anger was already at the peak of his patience.

“You ask me to shut up? But sorry, if I will also act.” Aletha pointed a gun at Mr. Jastin was in front of him.

The unknown action of Aletha. Jastin surprised her, even Mr. Jastin was stunned with roaring breath due to the unbearable anger.

Aletha smiled smirk as her gaze sharpened towards Mr. Jastin. Making Mr. Jastin won't just lose, but Mr. Jastin was wrong in predicting Aletha Bagas Kara..

“Dor..”.

One bullet hit Mr.'s leg. Jastin. However, Mr. Jastin was still able to stand up but not after that, even though he was moaning in pain.

“Why, Sir? Are you surprised?” aletha asked with a smile.

‘Damn it! He attacked without warning. Who is He exactly?’

Mr. Jastin doesn't know who Aletha is. He got Aletha's bullet right on his first target. Wkwkwk

“I will not be easily defeated just like that,” said Mr. Jastin.

“Please fight! Because I will fight first.”

“Dor..”.

The second Aletha bullet hit Mr.'s leg. Jastin, so that Mr. Jastin immediately crouched down, because he was unable to stand with two legs that had been hit by gunshot wounds.

“Arrrggghhh..” stub Mr. Jastin.

“Why, Sir? What feels... hurts? Need Mr. Jastin know who I am, or. Just think of me Doctor who treats Love, your daughter.”.

Really Aletha did not want to be in a position that made him shoot with Mr. Jastin. But circumstances still force him.

The feeling was Aletha who shot, shootout anyway Aalll...

Not long after, some members of the police came and entered the room of Love after getting permission from the hospital. With a firm voice from one of them made Mr. Jastin can't wiggle anymore. Can only resign after two legs can not walk normally. Even standing alone cannot let alone run.

Maybe for the reader it is very easy for Aletha in bending the big bad guys. But unlike reality, Aletha must be mentally prepared if only the enemy's bullets will hit her body. His name was also the son of a soldier, at least understanding how to hold a gun. Wkwkwk

The police officer brought Mr. Jastin went to the police station, but they asked one of the doctors to perform surgery on his leg that had been shot.

“Kak, thanks! You guys are heroes for us.”

“You? Meaning?”

Aletha rounded her eyes perfectly. For not knowing exactly what Arga meant in his words.

“Kak Aletha and Kak Keenan.” Arga painted a faint smile.

Arga explains to Aletha that Keenan already knew how Mr.'s crime was. Jastin was done to Arga. Even Keenan had wanted to report Mr. Jastin to the authorities. However, Keenan could not take further action without accurate evidence. And when Handak investigates Mr.'s violent acts. Jastin but instead he was assigned to Yahukimo.

“Can I come call you as a Big Brother like Arga?”

“Sure.” Aletha nodded.

With time Aletha began to become familiar with Cinta and Madam Mourisa. In fact, they continued the conversation that had stopped when Aletha had to work as a doctor. Visite patients and perform one-time operations.

“Sir Aletha, I feel calm if Aletha's sister is here. Thank you for preventing Daddy from releasing his bullet into Arga. That Arga. But... after knowing what work Daddy was doing, Arga decided to leave home.”

“I'm so sad about it. But you wrongly predicted me, Love.”

“Because... The mood will feel calm if we multiply dhikr, considering how great the power of God without us knowing. Because we as humans can only surrender to Him.”

“Arga will teach you what is mandatory and what is not. Because I am sure Arga knows a lot deeper things about Islam than I do.”

Madam Mourisa and Cinta have not yet embraced Islam and still embrace Kriste, in contrast to Arga. After knowing and getting out of the big and magnificent house makes Arga know Islam through studies and lectures that he had participated in one of the mosques and also through youtube. So that Arga's heart felt confident to convert to Islam.

“I have to go home at this time, because it is time I have to go back home.”

Remembering the clock has shown at four in the afternoon Aletha must return home sooner, because it has been promised to invite Laila ma'am to stay in his old house. And it is also impossible that Aletha would let Laila's mother live there alone.

“Assalamu'alaikum, Rania.”

“Wa'alaikumsalam, Brother Aletha. What's the matter with Aletha calling?” asked Rania who was astonished.

“Actually there is nothing, it's just that. Brother Aletha and your mother will move to her old house Brother. If you have time or pass the holiday can go directly to it.” Papar Aletha tells Rania who is still busy serving in the battalion.

“Iya, Brother. InshaAllah next week Rania holiday. Oh yes... Can you not if Rania asks for something?”

“What do you ask for? If soul mate... Brother can't, Brother is not God.” Aletha chuckles.

“Not, Brother. Rania want.. we go to the beach.”.

“Can only, it's close to the beach. But remember.. don't take too long because Brother has a baby, it's not good if left too long after work.”

The conversation had ended after Aletha and Rania mutually agreed to their plans. And now Aletha is ready to drive her car at a moderate speed, although at the bottom of her heart she is eager to get home and meet with Alina, her longing remedy against Keenan.

“What Bu Laila is ready if we move now?” aletha asked Laila who was still cool with Alina.

“But, Son... What if your parents get angry later if you and Alina come with Mom?”

“InsyaAllah will not, after all here is still very crowded with Ravva, Larisa and... Atalarics. So, Ms. Laila take it easy,” replied Aletha.

Laila nodded to agree to Aletha's plan. And Aletha also got permission from Bagas Kara and Mama Nina. Although it is actually very heavy to allow the displacement of Aletha and Alina.

Seriate...
