Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 131 “Pacifying the Mind”

“There is no other place besides the Mosque that can calm our minds. And there is no other sentence than to recite our hearts when we feel troubled.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aletha laughed when she heard that Love had called her the universal queen. For Cinta Aletha is a woman who has many skills, expertise in any field.

“Alright, what do you want to discuss tonight?”

“Emm... how to become a doctor that, Doctor beautiful?”

“Being a Doctor might look easy, a job that only checks patients and earns a great salary. But if we live it ourselves while in the operating room, then we understand.

“And the shameful, sad and emotionally draining thing is none other than when the Doctor feels failed in operating the patient.”

The love of mangosteen, noted what Aletha said in explaining how to become a doctor.

After getting compliments from Love that made Aletha feel ashamed of herself, now the chat has been ended because the night is getting dissolved. It is also not good if Aletha looks at every ramble of Love, because the health of Love is more important than anything.

“Yes Allah, thank You for making yourself in the midst of those who love me. May they always give you health.”

Aletha spread her body beside Alina who had fallen asleep earlier. And Aletha slowly closed her eyes to rest after her mind and strength were drained all day.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Ting... Ting..”

The message went to Bian's phone. But the number that sent the message was not listed in the contact book on his phone, making Bian feel reluctant to open the message. But it makes Bian also feel curious.

Another bitch Bian. Hadeeh...

[Walking straight West for three hundred meters then charging forty-five degrees to the Northeast for five hundred meters.]

Bian rounded his eyes perfectly, trying to figure out what the message that had been sent to his phone meant. However, Bian still did not understand.

“Ting... Ting..”

The second message has been sent again by the number.

[This is a commandment and should not be disputed. Do it now with Naina and Bayu. I'm waiting for you there, if it doesn't arrive in an hour then we're losing and just tired of what you got on this mission.].

Because Bayu and Naina's names are mentioned, Bian also shows the message to Bayu and Naina.

“What does that mean? Why send an unclear message like this,” said Bayu a little indifferent.

“Wait! Read it again, Bian. I'm a little... understand that message.” Naina comes along and asks Bian to reread the message, as Naina is sharper in tactical thinking.

Bian re-read the message, and when Bian read Naina took Little Bayu and drew it like what Bian said.

The line about four centimeters to the West then pulled the line to slash five centimeters to the Northeast.

“No. This... Captain Keenan.”

“What happened to Captain Keenan, Naina? We just haven't been able to find the point where Keenan and Garda's bodies are. Do not mention his name when we carry out a great mission without them. Although we know.. difficult tanoa them.” Bian blabbering is unclear.

“Not that I mean, Biannnn.

Naina instantly gave a tab to Bian's arm that was beside her. To make Bian grimace in pain, but always ignored by Bayu and Naina. Naina again continues the riddle of a mere trick.

[Have you not done my orders yet, huh? Hurry up, don't let you be one minute late.]

The message was read by Bian.

“What should we do try? Just know not to play petintajmh only,” umpat Bian annoyed.

“That's stupid of you Bian, this is Captain Keenan's trick given to us. Turns out.. they're still alive.” Naina looked at Bian and Bayu with happy eyes.

“What do you mean, Naina?”

“Try you guys see that picture! Doesn't that suggest the theory of Pytagoras.” Naina pointed at the picture of her hand on the ground.

For a moment Bayu and Bian fell silent, starting to think about the truth as Naina said. And they examined the sharpness of the image's eyes, because only Keenan was able to give a mere trick to the enemy.

“True. It's. hoax. And we have to move quickly if time keeps going. Take the West direction, we run from now.” Bayu asks Bian and Naina to prepare a weapon before they run as fast as possible to get to the place that was shown through the message.

The forest at night is very dark, making them have to be careful when running. And in the grasp of their hands there was already a folding knife that they could have needed if only there was a poisonous snake they found.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At half-hour one night Aletha woke up, her eyes were round as she approached Alina, who opened her eyes wide.

“Alina...wake up from what time, son? Alina thirsty ya!” Aletha.

Aletha gave Asi to Alina, so hard Alina brewed it. Alina fell asleep again after drinking for half an hour.

Aletha slowly inched from her slumber, and after escaping from Alina, Aletha went to fetch the ablution water.

After doing the dhikr Aletha continued to read the mushaf, although not too smoothly Keenan always asked Aletha to continue reading it.

After that Aletha continued to recite a prayer for her beloved husband.

[Allahumma inni a'udzu bika minal Hammi wal hasan wa a'udzu bika minal 'ajzi wal kasal, wa a'udzu bika minal jubni wal bukhl, wa a'udzu bika minal ghalabatid dain wa qahrir rija.]

Aletha guaranteed her prayer, asking God that Keenan always be in the protection of God wherever he was, whether in the mortal world or already in the afterlife. Because even though it has been called by Allah SWT in the Hereafter it must still be prayed for.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aletha cooks in the kitchen with only makeshift ingredients, because she has not had time to shop again for daily needs.

“There are corn, shrimp and also vegetables..asam.” Aletha took out what she found in the refrigerator.

After that Aletha immediately peeled the seasoning for the cooking ingredients. Shrimp in fried with flour, then cut corn and vegetables. After that Aletha boiled corn with vegetables that were made into one. One by one the spices that have been prepared are immediately included, coupled with powder broth so that the resulting cuisine can be delicious and have a tempting aroma.

“Finally already. And now stay in the layout alone on the dining table.”

Aletha arranged the food on the dining table, then covered it with a serving lid. Because he did not want to immediately do breakfast, while Alina just did not shower as well as him. Even Ms. Laila had not been seen coming out of her room.

‘Bu Laila is not as usual, why not wake up yet? What... he's not feeling well?’ aletha asked in her heart.

Aletha did not wait a long time again, she immediately checked on Ms. Laila who did not leave the room. Makes his heart feel uneasy.

“Tok... Tok...” Aletha tried to knock on Ms. Laila's room door slowly.

There was no answer from inside, making Aletha even more curious. And there was no other choice but to open the door to Ms. Laila's room even without her permission.

Aletha did not get the presence of Bu Laila in the room, then Aletha walked slowly to the bathroom that had been provided in the room, but still. Ms. Laila is neither in the room nor in the toilet.

‘Where exactly is Bu Laila? Why isn't it in her room?’

Aletha tried to find the existence of Bu Laila throughout the household, still the results were nil. There was no Bu Laila inside the house as well as the side yard. Making Aletha feel uneasy because Bu Laila left without saying goodbye.

“Krekk..”.

The sound of the main door opening. Aletha had to be careful while heading to the vestibule to ascertain who was there.

“Who's there?” shout Aletha.

Since the living room was still dark and the lights had not been turned on, Aletha could not see exactly who was there. Fortunately Aletha martial arts champion, if not sure women eat will feel scared and pee dicelana. Wkwkwk

Aletha walked slowly, even the clattering of her footsteps was barely audible to catch who was there. Because Aletha was afraid if it was just a thief.

“Why is there no answer, huh? Ah, Don't-don't it.. maling.”.

Haduh Aletha ngadi-ngadi only, the time of yes in action at dawn adhan has passed. The one who was caught even maling. Wkwkw...

“Czech...”

Suddenly the lights were very bright. Making Aletha feel glare as the light of the lights hit her two eyes. And that made Bu Laila surprised as she approached Aletha carrying a broom ready to hit someone.

“Nak, Aletha.” Pekik Bu Laila's.

“Bu Laila's. Where'd Laila come from? Aletha searched everywhere no.” Aletha immediately lowered the handle of the broom raised by her.

“So Mom went to the Mosque. For a long time I did not pray together to calm the mind and heart of Mother there.” Miss Laila smiled.

“Here is a bit far from Bu Masjid, why not just pray at home and wakein Aletha. Kan, can pray together Aletha.”

“Nak, there is no other place besides the Mosque that can calm our minds. And there is no other sentence than to recite our hearts when we feel troubled.”

“Biarpun a bit far but can still be reached on foot, right? After all, when we step foot into the Mosque one inch away, we have already got the reward. Try to imagine if we go even further when heading to the Mosque, it will certainly multiply the reward we get.”

That way Ms. Laila explained to Aletha about the reward that can be obtained in a simple way. Even not only the reward that can be obtained, the health of the body can also be maintained. The heart, breathing, and other organs will remain healthy when we do light exercise such as walking.

“Thanks Mom, because Bu Laila explained all that to Aletha. Aletha really didn't know about it. Aletha is very minimal religion, even rhetoric about manners and manners Aletha is very minimal.” Aletha lowered her head in shame, not worthy to be in the neighborhood of Bu Laila who always prioritizes Worship.

Ms. Laila doesn't want Aletha to fall in the wrong way. If Aletha does not understand Bu Laila is ready to give guidance to Aletha keoad. Like that heart, Ms. Laila did not want Aletha's tears to fall because she felt so sinful.

“Nak Aletha, listen to Mom carefully. Every human being is wrong and does not escape sin. But Allah SWT always forgives those who repent sincerely. And now don't be sad and think about something like this, we'll learn together.”

Aletha nodded, returning to continue the activity she originally wanted to do. The first ritual is to bathe Alina who already smells sour because of sweat. But the smell of the baby is very typical yes reader, even if cool but most parents like the smell. Wkwkwk

After getting a little knowledge from Bu Laila, rarely did Aletha calm the mind on the beach, as much as possible he calmed his mind and heart by going to the nearest mosque from the hospital. Not to forget also by saying dhikr and sholawat to reconcile his heart.

“Whose number is this?”

Aletha got a short message from an unknown number.

[Trust me, I won't let those lantern lights go out forever. I'll be back.]

Seriate...
