Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 124 “Belvisit”


“Although you are not around me, but I am able to feel your presence. The wind has brought the distinctive aroma you have into the bottom of the heart. And this is the power of love that we have.”


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


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.


“Be careful there, do not forget to always tell Papa or Mama.” Bagas Kara gives A hug to Aletha.


“InsyaAllah, Aletha will always tell Papa and Mama. And Aletha begs Papa and Mama to take care... Laura and Ravva.”


“Yes, it's Papa's job. You take it easy.”


After Bagas Kara broke her embrace, Aletha moved to greet Mama Nina, Luna and Laura. At the bottom of Aletha's heart also did not want to separate from them, let alone Aletha felt harmony in every moment together. Even so Aletha did not want to make Laila's mother uncomfortable.


The journey had begun, Aletha drove her car at a moderate speed. Even so Aletha also did not want to if when Maghrib was still on the road, because it was not good to also bring Alina when it was like that.


Alina was quite calm and even fell asleep in the lap of Laila's mother while the journey was still going on. Make Aletha's heart feel calm and stay focused on the not-so-busy highway.


“Bu, how about we stop by first buy food for later we eat together. Because I'm sure, the contents of the refrigerator.. empty.” Aletha.


“Yes, son Aletha, it's okay. Tomorrow we go shopping.” Miss Laila smiled.


Aletha stopped her car after being on the side of the road in front of a food stall that was not luxurious and also unusual, just stadart. For Aletha eating anything is still delicious and delicious if you have gratitude from the heart.


“Excuse me! I want to buy grilled rib rice 1 serving and grilled chicken rice 1 serving also.” Aletha ordered ready-to-eat food that will be used as dinner with Laila's mother upon arrival.


“Good, Ma'am... can be awaited!” reply to service while smiling.


Aletha sat down on one of the chairs to wait for the food ordered to be finished. While waiting for Aletha stared at the screen for a moment and made sure there was a sudden task again or not.


“Dimas? Why did He... give me a message?”


Curiosity sprang up in the beka Aletha, because after Dimas got married just that time it sent him a message in person. Even the messages sent were not enough once, but rather there were ten times messages lined up on his behalf.


[Assalamu'alaikum, Al. I'm sorry if I've been so lazy to send you a message. And this may not matter to you.].


[Al, I just want to say thank you very much because you are willing to work and devote yourself to my hospital. Without your merit, courage, toughness, genius and everything from you, my hospital might not be going forward.]


[Al, besides what I want to say to you, I want to say something. Maybe my words will make you angry. But really, my love for you is not easily lost. It grew even more when I was always staring at you.]


[But I'm gonna bury that feeling, Al. I will open a new leaflet with my new life, a life that I ignored a few months ago and I will start with a new figure. Tomorrow is my last heart to be in the hospital, because after nightfall I will go abroad and leave Jakarta for good. If you're willing and consider me a friend, I'll be waiting for you at the airport. Thanks.].


For messages from Dimas only! And that's the most core. if it is written nati will be long in the message Dimas only. Wkwkwk


Aletha felt pity for Dimas who could not forget the presence of love in her heart. If you think about it well, Dimas is actually a good guy, not as tough and cool as he looks.


Aletha did not send a message in reply from Dimas' message. Aletha was indeed ignorant, but she would try to meet Dimas even then just want to appreciate Dimas as his superior.


Aletha stood up when her name was called by the waiter, and after receiving her order Aletha headed to the cashier to pay for grilled rib rice and fried chicken rice.


“Sorry yes Mom, have been waiting a long time.” Aletha got back in the car.


“Yes, son Aletha is okay. Yes more we will walk again soon, soon by evening.”


“Good, Bu.” Aletha nodded.


Ferari car used as a vehicle by Aletha was again launched at standard speed. Connecting not too far with the restaurant eating earlier, so it takes just ten minutes from where to buy food and now it has arrived at Aletha's house.


“Let's go in, Mom!” take Aletha after opening the door.


Bu Laila went inside Aletha's house holding Alina who had woken up. And upon arrival Alina was laid on the bed, for Aletha did not carry Alina's large basket. It is also impossible to carry it.


After that Aletha prepared the food she had bought earlier in the kitchen. As Keenan's shadow danced in his eyes, longing suddenly came into its own.


“Although you are not around me, but I am able to feel your presence. The wind has brought the distinctive aroma you have into the bottom of the heart. And this is the power of love that we have.” Aletha closed her eyes for a moment.


“Aa, Neng Kangen. When can I see you again?”


Aletha carved out a beautiful smile, after which she returned to focus with her activities. Because she has become a mother who should not forget her child just like that.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


“Why do I suddenly feel longing for Dad? What's... About Aletha want to accompany me to Dad's grave? It is also impossible if I ask this family to accompany me, already too busy with their respective activities.”


Laura felt so good, even though the Bagas Kara family already considered her family but Laura did not want to trouble the sipapun, there is a sense of hesitation if asking the Bagas Kara family to help push the wheelchair.


“Do I try to contact Aletha? But. surely at this time is on a break. Poor him, the other day working full time in the hospital for being responsible for Maya's sister. And.. the news was already I know, but thank goodness the police have bent Mr. Jastin it.”


No one knows what happened to Aletha in the hospital except Laura, because only Laura was the place for Aletha to pour out her heart in the time of grief other than Allah SWT. The friendship between them is so close, especially now that they have become brothers-in-law, the closer their relationship will be.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


“Why am I thinking of Laura, huh? What's wrong with him?”


“Assalamu'alaikum, Ra.” Aletha said a greeting from across.


“Wa'alaikumsalam, Al. Perfect fit well, I was going to call you but I doubt.. afraid to disturb your break time.” Laura said it as softly as possible, it was basically Laura's heart was soft and her attitude was so polite.


“What's up, Ra? There is no need to feel sad, we have become brothers. You didn't forget that, did you, Ra?”


“No, Al.” Laura shook her head. “Al, would you not if you accompanied me to Dad's grave? I. feel homesick. Usually it's my brother Garda who always deliver me, but now my brother Garda and brother Keenan are on duty.” Laura explained because she was already unable to withstand her longing for the late Mahendra.


“Sure, Ra. After all, the late father of Mahendra has become my in-law, so yes.


“Thank you, Al. Tomorrow morning we pick me up yes,” Laura said.


Aletha agreed to Laura's invitation, because after marriage only once visited and made a pilgrimage to Mahendra's tomb. Maybe Aletha is not a good daughter-in-law, because it does not visit as often as possible in Mahendra's tomb. But Keenan always taught Aletha to pray for Mahendra and his entire family through the prayers spoken after the fardhu prayer.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


“Assalamu'alaikum,” said Aletha when she reached Bagas Kara's house.


“Wa'alaikumsalam,” reply bik Siti and Mama Nina from inside.


Hugs and salim Aletha did to Mama Nina and bik Siti, because all Aletha saw was them. Bagas Kara had left since six in the morning, Juan and Luna were still busy in the room and so was Laura who was still busy taking care of Ravva, while Larisa had just arrived in the dining room.


“Aunty, since when did it come?” larisa asked with happy eyes.


“Just aunty came, why Sa? Same with aunty?” aletha Goda.


“Hahaha.. no really, Aunty. Kan, just came back to that house. Now it's here again, yes..not also if it says n kangen.” Larisa stuck out her tongue.


“Basic, minimal nephew adab.” Aletha.


Aletha continued to look for Laura because considering the time to visit Mahendra's tomb there was only one hour. Because at nine Aletha had to undergo surgery with heart cancer suffered by a patient named Yohan. Still too young, but due to his illness Yohan has to leave her lover for no reason.


“How about we leave it, the thing is. I have an operating schedule.”.


“Emm, can. I also talked to Mama Nina. Ravva .. I invite, because Papa and Mama Kak Garda want to pick up at the tomb.” Laura smiled brightly.


“Ok, yes already then we say goodbye first!” bring Aletha.


At exactly half-eight in the morning Aletha drove her car at a moderate speed, because she had to keep the rhetoric in front of her best friend. Not the action and excitement of Aletha first.


“Assalamu'alaikum, Dad.” Laura rubbed Mahendra's tombstone.


“Accalamu'alaikum, Mahendla's grandfather. Ravva came to visit Grandpa's house. If only we could meet for sure Ravva can play shootouts with grandpa other than Dad.” Three-year-old Celoteh Ravva.


“Ravva, now his grandfather is happy in heaven. And it's time for Ravva to pray for Mahendra's grandfather to keep smiling happily there.” Aletha tried to cover Ravva because the hope of Ravva that could never be realized, will only make Ravva sad.


“Good, aunty Aletha.” Ravva nodded.


Ravva raised her hand, her mouth muttering reciting prayers. And when Ravva had finished, he guaranteed the prayer that was placed by him.


“Assalamu'alaikum, Laura... Aletha.” Both of the Guard's parents have come.


Aletha and Laura both share the same with Ravva. After that Aletha said goodbye to go to the hospital, because the clock had shown at half-nine. And in half an hour Aletha had to have surgery.


“Don't speed on the road!” pinta Laura's.


“Quiet, Ra. I already know the path, not like before. Hahaha.” Aletha chuckles.


Aletha drove her car at a moderate speed, but while on a fairly quiet road Aletha slightly pressed the accelerator to be firmer and soon reached the hospital.


“Dok, everything is ready. The patient has been given high doses of drugs. Just start operation.” Papar a nun who is none other than Aletha's assistant.


Aletha nodded, with a quick step Aletha headed to the dressing room to change into a typical outfit of duty in the operating room. And Aletha led the operation, before that Aletha always asked her members to recite prayers in accordance with their respective beliefs. It was only after that that Aletha had surgery.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


The five members of the police tried to break up the inter-tribal warfare. Likewise with the Guard and Keenan who participated in the war to find a gap so that the war ended with peace. But unfortunately, the war is getting more brutal. Residents between the tribes each carry sharp weapons to injure each other.


“Arghhh..” One resident fell down instantly as a machete injured his body.


“Mampus lo,” said one of the residents of the Yali tribe.


The battle was none other than the Yali tribe with the Ngalik tribe. And the center of the war problem was only because of the sense of disbelief from Mr. Sowa for the death of his son Sega. So that many people who defended Pak Sowa and the war that resulted in the death of the citizens.


“Arghhh..”


The second victim was one of the residents and immediately died in that place. Members of the police, Guard and Keenan feel overwhelmed to face the war is quite fierce.


“Whatever way we have to break up this war, Guard. Prepare your fire filled with rubber bullets.” Keenan is always on guard, his eyes are always on standby.


Keenan and Garda began shooting at the feet of the residents, making it difficult to stand up. Because for them the foot is the right target for that moment.


“Dorr... Dorr... Dorr...”


“Arghhh..”


“Brukk..”.


Seriate...
