Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 133 “Confidence”

“My love has stuck in you. Enough of you filling in the recesses of the heart, becoming my life companion until aging.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aletha momentarily sat down next to Rachel, the girl who was already twenty-three years old. And there was no other family waiting for Good that afternoon, there was only Rachel there.

“Sorry if I ask a stupid question, but I as a Doctor want to know who are these two Good parents? Because I only see you here.”

“It's okay, Doc. I. Good fiancee, and one more month we're getting married. But a disaster like this that we have to live in at this time. While Bagus himself does not have parents, because his parents have long died. And the Doctor can think of me as his guardian.”

Degs...

‘Yes Allah.. it turns out there are still in this world whose fate is almost the same as mine used to be. But I pray. I hope they can continue the marriage they have planned.’ Aletha monologues in heart.

“Don't be sad about what happened to your relationship. If God approves of your relationship going into marriage, then... God will also make things easier.” Aletha smiled.

“Dan... Allah is all-good, it is impossible if his servant does not live in pairs. Because the soul mate is certainly written by God in his book,” said Aletha softly.

Rachel who heard Aletha's words felt slightly comforted, wiping her tears slowly. Then, two ends of Rachel's lips were pulled which created a beautiful arch. That smile was what Aletha wanted to see, not the sadness, fragility, anger and grievous crying of feeling for the injustice in her life like Aletha had once been.

‘Yes Allah..strengthen this woman's heart. As You strengthen and reassure this heart if Keenan still lives in Your protection.’

Aletha prayed for Rachel. And with time Aletha was able to familiarize herself with Rachel, until small talk was created and accompany them to make Aletha forget about time, where he must visit patients who have had heart surgery before.

“No need to re-examine the patient yesterday, Al. Because I've done it and.. I'm sorry if I was too damned for my stupidity.” Inspiration approached Aletha who was still sitting next to Rachel.

“Good if brother Inspiration self-conscious. We may be almost the same fate, brother, so do not be too sad like that. Because I still have not found the point of Keenan's existence. Even I didn't know Keenan was alive or gone forever.” Aletha stood in front of Ilham.

Degs...

Aletha's words really struck the heart of Inspiration who still felt lost. For a moment Ilham was silent, contemplating and thinking about things that were true. Where Keenan who has not been found to make Aletha can only hope without something certain.

‘I am saddened by the calamity we have to face together, Al. And you ... a woman who is too strong to withstand this pain, Al.’

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“I'm sure. Even you are well, still in the care of God. Because I'm able to feel that way, because we have a bond.” Aletha stared at Keenan's necklace before Keenan left for duty.

Aletha put the necklace back in a small box after it was put in her snail pocket. And Aletha carried the box with her wherever she was.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

All are ready with their actions in their own expertise. But they would not have done anything if there had been no order from Keenan. Because they were sure that even the most confident that the sender of the anonymous message was none other than Keenan, their captain.

“Wait a minute, until there is a follow-up order from Captain, Naina. If you have, you should also be prepared to show your role.”

Bayu and Bian held back a laugh as they looked at Naina's drastically changed clothes. Wear a princess dress with a blue bando.

“You guys don't laugh at me, yeah! I just want to.. live the role,” said Naina full of emphasis.

Not long after that the message went back to Bian's phone.

[Now!]

Instantly Bian tells Bayu and Naina by using the BMS (Battlefield Management System) CY-16H tool, a tool that can be used to communicate across the hierarchy in TNI AD.

“Tok... Tok...”

The sound of the door being knocked. Not long after, someone opened from the inside.

“Who are you?”

A well-built man in black clothes asked Naina.

“I... Kiana's. Can I not ask for your help? I'm lost in this forest, and I don't know the way back. And I found this house here. Is this your home?” naina is as neutral as possible.

With a face that looked confused and sad, finally the man was able to be hypnotized by Naina in the blink of an eye. And that is the weakness of a man, falling in love with a woman dressed on the knees. Although Naina actually felt uncomfortable with the clothes, but she had to live a role.

“Wood, your turn!” bian's orders.

Bayu barged in through the window on the left side, right inside the quiet room. But in the room it was not completely quiet, because there were some women who were deliberately held captive and even silenced his lips so as not to talk.

“Ssttt..” Bayu asked the five women to be quiet.

With a slow nod the five women agreed to Bayu's request. After that, very carefully Bayu opened one by one the rope that tied both their arms.

“You must remain silent, otherwise the meal will end our history here right now,” said Bayu in a very soft tone.

Back the five women nodded, slowly Bian came forward and slowly opened the tightly closed doorknob in the room but was not locked. And it looks from out there quiet, but Bayu must remain careful.

“They're already in my protection, Bian. Now it's your turn!”

“No, Bayu. You still have to open that door and get out, because you have to save the Captain and Lettu Garda next to the room. Because through my binoculars, I can clearly see them there and held captive.”

“What? Alright, I'll carry out your orders.”

With footprints barely heard Bayu sneaking into the room next to the room the women were held captive.

“Bian, there's a guard. And I can't just go in, it'll be too risky later.”

“You take it easy, my gun is pointing at the head of the watch.”

“What do you mean, Bian? Aren't you on the roof?”

“I changed positions, not safe there. I was up in the tree an hour ago and I'm tired now. Quickly do your second job after I shoot him in the head.”

“Alright!”

Dor... Dor...

Two guards were instantly killed at the Keenan and Garda detention centers. Bayu also entered and freed Keenan and Guard from such a tight bond.

“So... You guys are actually still safe?”

Keenan and Garda can only give a smile, just to welcome the arrival of Bayu who has helped them. Longing does indeed burst the chest, but that time is not the time to do the act of hugging each other to let go of longing.

“There are weapons for us, Bayu? Because... we have no weapons after the bomb destroyed it.”

“After being held do not act foolishly, Captain. Why don't you guys just take the gun in their hands?”

With happiness and seemed ready to fight back Keenan and the Guard immediately took the weapon lying on the floor not far from the two guards had collapsed.

“Czech...”

The door was opened, as if someone wanted to enter the room. With a swift Keenan, Garda and Bayu immediately find a place to hide.

“Rion... Jonah... What the hell happened to you guys? And where is the Captain and his subordinates? It is impossible if they run away, because the window is still locked.”

The other guards went back and forth looking for the whereabouts of Keenan and the Guard who were not visible in the room.

“Sial! Turns out they got shot,” umpat another guard.

“Deploy team and tighten guard!” the orders of one of the guards who knew there was an intruder in his marax.

The man who was still with Naina immediately suspected Naina after hearing the orders from within. But Naina was very careful before actually getting an assault order from Keenan.

“Who are you? Are you an intruder?”

“Invouchers? What do you mean?”

The man got up from his seat and blocked Naina's arm about to bring her into the room. And at the same time Keenan also gave orders.

“Naina... Bians... Now!”

Dor... Dor...

There was a sound of gunfire from outside, no other shot came from Bian who hit the heart of the guard who was on the side of the outside.

Dor... Dor...

At the time Naina directed her shot at the head of the man who was standing and sturdy with her earlier.

“Mampus, right! If it's true I'm an intruder. then you're dead.” Naina gave a satisfied laugh, which invited many guards towards her.

There are five guards who point a gun at Naina, making Naina feel threatened if she is about to launch her shot.

“Sial! I'm too proud. How stupid of me!” as Naina cursed her stupidity.

Dor... Dor...

A shot from Keenan saves Naina. Up to two guards collapsed, and Naina swiftly launched her shot the three guards who could still stand on two legs.

Dor... Dor...

Dor... Dor...

Shooting also happened from all. There are those outside, indoors and also on every side of the house.

And while the firefight was still going on the aid requested from the sniper squad, the, police members and some striped troops came and were ready to attack to help those who felt the difficulties because of the guards of the headquarters are increasing.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“My love has stuck in you. Enough of you filling in the recesses of the heart, becoming my life companion until aging.”

While in the canteen of the hospital Aletha again took out a small box that was in her snail pocket. Then stared at with a necklace inscribed with the name Keenan marked a true soldier.

“Keep staring until glare tuh necklace!” said Luna who immediately surprised Aletha.

“I miss, Brother. Can't I just stick to the necklace? Who knows if I elus and I kissed up to three times Aa Keenan appeared directly in front of me.” Aletha.

“Bwahahaha... Down, Al. Remember Keenan is human, not a genie like in the movie jin jan jun so.” Luna immediately let go of her laughter, inviting Juan who was accidentally in the cafeteria as well.

“Isshh... Brother is not that good his name. Not entertaining and laughing that way. Inhumanity is his name,” umpat Aletha.

Juan approached Aletha and Luna who were sitting in the middle seat. And Juan just stared at Aletha and Luna with a confused look, not understanding what topic they were talking about.

“Why are you laughing, baby?”

“Tuh, look at brother Juan's wife. I am so happy to laugh at suffering... A... DIKS... NEW...” Aletha got out of her chair and got out of the canteen and looked for another place.

Aletha walked slowly through the hospital corridor with an unclear gaze, just daydreaming even when there were patients or nurses who greeted Aletha just silently. Not responding at all to reply from all of them.

“Poor Yes, Doctor Aletha. His son was young, his father even no longer exist during the war.”

“Iya, Yes. Pity the fate of Doctor Aletha, already a widow but her rank a beautiful widow.”

Many lips scorned Aletha, from being pityed and truly sincere out of pity, some even felt pity for mocking. But Aletha did not care about it, for her Keenan was still alive.

”It's okay if you say I'm a widow, I won't be happy, or anything like that, but I'm pretty sure God will never sleep when the wife's prayers have clashed in the sky. Surely Aa Keenan is really alive, because I can feel every second of his heartbeat.” Aletha held onto her chest and seemed to feel the presence of Keenan beside her.

“Krukukuk... cuckoo..”.

The sound of Aletha's stomach rang, indicating that Aletha's stomach must be immediately given ammunition to fill her stomach. And Aletha decided to go to the Mandarin Chicken Rice restaurant in front of the hospital.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Excuse me, Ma'am want what message?” ask a waiter.

”Emm.. hot coffee same fried rice only yes, Mbak.”

The waiter nodded, then returned to the kitchen and made according to Aletha's order.

Aletha sat sulking in front of her phone screen while waiting for her order to arrive. To fill the void of time Aletha made a video call with Bu Laila.

“Assalamu'alaikum, Mum.”

“Wa'alaikumsalam, Nak Aletha. What's the matter with contacting Mom during the day like this? Does Nak Aletha need anything?”

“Ah no, Mom. Aletha just missed. Just alina. Where's Alina now, Ma?”

Ms. Laila immediately pointed the camera on her phone screen at Alina who was playing with several balls on top of her stroller. It was successful in making Aletha smile without any melancholy on her face. Even the sadness that had stopped for a moment had disappeared, disappearing because there was already an antidote.

”Please eat! Here's your order, Mbak.” The waiter placed Aletha's order on the table.

Aletha nodded, the longing that had been healed was now enough for Aletha to end her conversation with Bu Laila. And that afternoon Aletha ate fried rice with hot coffee steeping according to the order.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Yes Allah, it is time for me to face You again.” Aletha entered a mosque with slow steps.

Wudhu water has given its own freshness to the people of God who use it in accordance with the ordinance. After that Aletha put on the face that had been provided in the mosque, then spread the alphabet on the sacred floor.

“Allahu Akbar..”

Aletha performed four rakaats solemnly'. Do not forget to chant dhikr to reconcile his heart that momentarily felt uneasy. Aletha prayed to God for protection against her, her husband, and her family.

“Yes Allah, if me and Keenan mamang are still in a match then. soon reunite us in a happy encounter. Aaminn..”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Doctor Aletha, you must do a re-examination of the accident victim this morning. But... What's his name...? I forgot.” Khaira scratched her non-itchy nape.

“What... Nice name?”

“Nah... the, yes Nice his name, Dok.”.

Aletha knitted her brows, after which continued her steps towards the Bagus room which was still in the ICU room.

Aletha saw Rachel faithfully waiting for Good at the side of the Good Banker wearing a green shirt, a shirt that must be used when entering the ICU room.

“Good afternoon, Rachel! I do the inspection first, yes!”

Rachel also nodded. Aletha placed her stethoscope over Bagus' chest, while Khaira controlled the pacemaker still attached to Bagus' chest.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Dor... Dor...

Dor... Dor...

Dor... Dor...

Gunfights still occur, which makes most people lose their lives and die on the spot.

Seriate...
