Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 140 “Holiday Thin-thin”

“I just want you not to forget the place where we were met without the element of intentionality.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aletha helped Keenan to unbutton his shirt. After all, Aletha gently rubbed Keenan's entire body. It does not take long to perform the Keenan ritual in there, just half an hour.

“Neng, if Aa take Neng on vacation to Faidherbe Bridge, how? Does Neng want?”

Keenan made an offer to Aletha when Aletha gave him a topical medicine to dry the bruised wound on Keenan's face and also on Keenan's arm which was injured by a folding knife.

Aletha immediately stopped her activity, then linked her eyebrows together and looked at Keenan with a questionable look.

“How, would you not? After marriage we have no honeymoon time, so. we honeymoon there,”.

“It will definitely cost a fortune, Aa. Where can we possibly go there? Payday Neng has also made wake up the pool and garden.”

Keenan clasped Aletha's fingers, then looked at Aletha with such a deep gaze. There was even a million loves in Keenan's shady eyes, making Aletha unable to twitch as she stared at him.

Instantly Aletha lowered her head, storing her successful embarrassment made her cheeks flushed like boiled shrimp. However, whether Aletha data if Keenan's wishes are mandatory to be fulfilled.

Keenan lifted Aletha's chin up slightly and just as Aletha's lips in front of Keenan's lips were kissed. Making a great sigh spread throughout the body of both. And when it is to satisfy the pent-up desire again it must be kept.

“Oek... Nda... Oek... Nda..” Alina cried out by calling Mother.

‘Hah, fail again.’

Hix...

Keenan groped his chest, condemning a fate that did not match expectations. And as a good father Keenan soon meets Alina, then Alina is fed formula milk with Keenan who babbles obscurely in front of Alina. So that makes Alina not cry anymore.

“Dad and Mother are naughty, yes! Alina was alone. Cup yes, son. his affection is only for Alina kok, now silent and do not cry. Later I take a walk in the afternoon.”

Only a twinkle of happiness was revealed from Alina's face with a sharpened gaze as if wanting to recognize the figure of the father who was in front of her.

Aletha was relieved to see Keenan who successfully made Alina silent from her cries. Gratitude returned Aletha said, although Alina had not been in Keenan's arms for a long time but Alina was able to recognize the figure of her great father.

“Ting... Ting..” A message went to Keenan's phone.

When Keenan was taking Alina's afternoon walk around the house suddenly he got a short message from Bian.

“Bian? Not that we're on leave for the next week, why did He send me a message?”

Keenan knitted his brows, curious from the message Bian had just sent. Keenan opened the message.

[Ke, can't you if me, Bayu and Naina stay at your house? We think your house is nice and it would be nice if we could take a vacation near the beach.]

Keenan widened his eyes while reading a message from Bian, making Keenan laugh if it will fail again his plan that wants to wash Aletha in deep love.

“If I refuse pity also they can not stay and enjoy the atmosphere of the beach. If I accept a big risk I must accept.” Keenan was worried.

[Emm.. Just put it this way, I'll ask Aletha first. If He agrees then I will, if not then you should not be angry!] The message was sent by Keenan in reply.

Not long after that Bian returned with one word only, ok. Which indicates if Bian, Bayu and Naina agree with Keenan's decision.

Keenan again pushed Alina's stroller, making Alina feel comfortable while enjoying the afternoon atmosphere around the beach.

“Captain!” shout Rania.

Keenan instantly turned his body around, confirming who the owner of the voice that had called his name was.

Rania who happens to run around the beach accidentally sees Keenan with Alina. And Rania decided to approach Keenan.

“Good afternoon, Captain!” raia SAPa.

“Rania, call her usual. We're not on duty, you can call me sister. Just think of me as your own sister, like you think of Aletha as your sister.”

Rania nodded, agreeing to Keenan's request. And they went home along with small talk that accompanied them when they returned home.

Aletha who saw the sunset from the top of the balcony immediately went down the stairs after seeing Keenan and Alina had already returned from the afternoon streets.

All enter the house because soon Maghrib time will arrive. And it wouldn't be nice if Alina was still hanging around outside the house right then and there.

What Aletha wants has now been achieved, is one shaf behind Keenan. Keenan and Aletha pray Maghrib together after that do not forget to also send prayers to Allah SWT for what has been given to them including happiness at that time.

Aletha helped Bu Laila arrange the food on the table and after the meal was ready Aletha called Keenan and Rania to immediately hold a dinner together.

Keenan took a seat, then raised his hand to recite the prayer and Aletha always guaranteed the Keenan prayer even though the prayer before eating though.

“Tok... Tok...” Sound was slowly tapped.

‘Who's visiting? Looks like I haven't spoken to Neng Aletha yet if Bian, Bayu and Naina will stay here.’ Keenan monologues in heart.

Aletha stopped eating for a moment to open the door that felt there was a guest.

And after Aletha opened the door she was surprised by the Bagas Kara family troupe. Without any message Bagas Kara brought the group to his house so as to make Aletha's house immediately crowded.

“Pa... Ma, why did you come without a message?”

“Surprise. Your mom and dad wanted to surprise you. After all we have not been on a vacation for a long time thin, considering your house is near the beach then..

After saying that Bagas Kara came in and headed to the family room. The sound of Bagas Kara and the crowd from outside invited Keenan, Bu Laila and Rania to come out and make sure what commotion had arisen in his house.

Keenan's heart really felt badan, already more than six not separated with Aletha and after being reunited it could not let go of a very torturous longing.

“Papa... Mamma... And you're all here.” Keenan tried to greet kindly and greet Bagas Kara and Mama Nina.

“Keenan, Bu Laila and Rania. We ask for permission to stay here all on a thin vacation on the beach. Do you guys mind?”

“Ah no, Ma. We certainly won't mind, added many is also okay. Was... Bian, Bayu and Naina also ask permission to stay here. But Keenan hasn't said the same to Aletha.” Keenan turned his gaze towards Aletha.

“It's okay, Aa. Just tell them we are ready if you want to camp together. Just make a tent.”

Keenan nodded as he revealed a pepsodent smile to everyone. After that he took his cell phone in the room to contact his three best friends. And followed by Aletha who wanted to see Alina in the room.

Aletha saw the face of Keenan who seemed disappointed because he could not freely be alone with her, releasing longing and long-buried desires.

Aletha purposely gave a hug to Keenan from behind. Because Aletha wanted to try to comfort Keenan so as not to feel disappointed again with their presence.

“Neng, make Aa surprised only.”

Aletha stuck her head on Keenan's back, making Keenan feel that he was loved and needed by Aletha.

“Aa... do not be angry or disappointed with the presence of all of them,” said Aletha very slowly and gently.

Keenan broke Aletha's embrace, then he turned around and looked at Aletha deeply. Until Aletha sees the shady eyes of Keenan who has a million loves for her.

“Aa... not angry really, anything that makes Neng feel happy Aa will do. Dah, don't think that strange.” Keenan cupped Aletha's face.

Aletha nodded, after which the two of them came out of the room and joined all of them. While Alina who has fallen asleep will be guarded by Bu Laila, because Bu Laila does not feel interested in the event that will be held by young people.

Not long after Bian's group came, making excitement and the crowd shrieked ears. Even the tent was installed in the front yard of Aletha house, not to forget also the bonfire was lit in the middle to warm the night wind that hit at that time.

‘It turns out that a thin vacation in the style of Om and Aunty is fun. Maybe because they are more experienced.’ Larisa monologues in heart.

Larisa laughs when she sees her oms and tantnya playing guitar while singing. Some others burn corn and sausages for their snack dishes while enjoying the atmosphere of the night is increasingly dissolved.

The night looks dark, but it will be bright with a bonfire that has been lit. While the moon and stars of the night were not seen once, even clouds look cloudy which indicates the night will rain. And it turns out to be true.

“Kerik... Crickets... Kricik..”.

The rain fell suddenly. Make everything immediately run around looking for a place to shelter and leave the event that still continues. But forced to stop because the rain fell more and more.

”The rain is not cool, the fall is inopportune time.” Larisa cursed in annoyance.

“Larisa, the rain that falls is worth being grateful for. Because rain is a gift of Allah SWT,” said Keenan.

“Yes too yes, about Keenan. But right, because it rained down the show broke up, Om.” Larisa pursed her lips.

Larisa who has been sulking can only be seduced by one Juan, because from a small age Juan kah who can persuade Larisa when angry or sad.

“See Neng, God is fair not. God brought rain tonight and let us have time together in a room like this. And also... Aa wants to hear Neng's answer to Aa's question earlier.”

With the arrival of rain Bagas Kara ordered them all to sleep and will continue their holiday thinly tomorrow. And it was a good opportunity for Keenan and Aletha to be able to enter the room immediately.

“Which question yes, Aa? Neng forgot.” Aletha scratched her non-itchy nape.

For a moment Keenan was silent, set his breath and started again inviting Aletha to take a vacation to Faidherbe Bridge. The reader doesn't forget about the bridge, does he?

“Why Aa want to take Neng on vacation or honeymoon there? Yep... Neng admitted that the place was good, especially if it was in the Sahara desert. But right... expensive, Aa.”

“Aa just want Neng not to forget the place where we were met without the element of intentionality.”

“Neng remembers no, one year Aa deliberately dodged and opted for school in Washington, Washington, while Neng himself chose to go to Mauritania and volunteer doctors there to forget the feelings of Neng to Aa.”

Both of them smiled wryly as they cursed at the regrettable stupidity. But behind all this, God has other wills. The love in the heart is inherent and inseparable. Although they were often separated because Keenan had to serve but again God reunited the two.

“How does Neng, does Neng want?”

“Neng also wants to go there, Aa. Remembering where we were reunited until we were in marriage and until now. But on the other hand we can't leave Alina alone here, we're her parents.”

“Just a minute! Give Aa time to treat longing that has been six months Aa pendam.”

Keenan showed the chip card the Arab President gave while in Mauritania after the Arab President was rescued by Aletha.

Aletha widened her eyes to see the chip card in Keenan's hand. The chip card that Aletha once had, but he exchanged it with a helicopter to attend Elbert's doctor's wedding with Catrina's doctor who now has many children, according to their wishes.

“How can Aa get this card?” aletha asked to make sure.

“Aa didn't point a gun at the Arab President, did she?” accuse Aletha later.

Keenan laughed at once, never having thought that Aletha would accuse him of saying such a thing.

Keenan handed the card to Aletha while telling her how he got it. Because it was so easy, the closeness of the Arab President with Keenan as Captain of the army dared to die.

“Waw, apparently... Aa is great! In addition to smart hide and seek with Neng, smart pull, smart make Neng jealous, smart captivate Neng, but also smart captivate the heart of the Arab President.” Aletha clucked in amazement, not expecting that Keenan had so many advantages.

“But answer first, if yes... Aa will set the schedule. If you don't want to... Aa won't use that card carelessly anymore.”

Aletha rounded her eyes upwards, as if she was thinking about the answer she was going to give Keenan.

Seriate...
