Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 141 “Test This Test”

“My heart is pounding when it's nearby. My eyes were ceaselessly staring at her dazzlingly beautiful face. Oh God could it be that I... fell in love?”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

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.

“Glegerrrr..”.

The sound of lightning sounded so loud, that the women who had not slept felt fear, except for Aletha and Rania. The two women were indeed created to be strong and strong women, having brave souls.

“Neng, why not hug Aa?”

“Why should you hug, Aa? Kan, it was hugged now it's Alina's turn to hug, there's lightning loh!”

“There is precisely lightning why Neng did not hug Aa? Usually if there is such lightning most women will hug his man. But... why doesn't Neng?”

“Bwahaha... Aa is joking, huh? Criminals alone Neng was not afraid, let alone lightning. Fear is the same as God, Aa. Right, right?”

Keenan mangosteen, justifying what Aletha said. And the increasingly dissolved night made Aletha decided to immediately go to sleep and accompany Alina. However, Keenan prevented Aletha as she wanted to lay down her body next to Alina.

Aletha furrowed her brows, looking at Keenan in confusion. While Keenan hopes that Aletha is sensitive to his wishes. But...

“Aa why the hell? Neng's time to sleep is not allowed. Neng drowsiness Aa, or... Aa still want an answer about that, yes?”

Keenan nodded while smiling faintly.

“Answers... Neng wants to, Aa. Aa just set the schedule.”

After giving an answer to Keenan Aletha immediately laid her body beside Alina. Aletha slept while hugging Alina, letting Keenan who was still awake. And the hope of Keenan has been destroyed already, because the target has fallen asleep with the lamp of his heart.

‘Sabar Ke, definitely can in another day.’

Keenan felt his chest, he wanted to increase his patience while waiting for the time he wanted to arrive. A husband must understand a wife.

Because the target had fallen asleep Keenan also spread his body beside Alina, because Alina's position was in the middle. So that the lamp will stay awake.

“I am happy O God, for You have reunited me with my wife and child.” Keenan stared fixedly at Aletha and Alina who were in front of him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Rania is still awake, he prepared some equipment and also equipment that will be brought tomorrow afternoon to serve in East Kalimantan.

“Kok... You haven't slept? While everyone is asleep,” said Bian very softly.

Rania who is preparing a combat tool in the middle room makes Bian feel interested in approaching Rania. And it was an opportunity for Bian to do pe de ka te when everyone was asleep.

“I am still busy preparing my equipment, because tomorrow afternoon I will be transferred to East Kalimantan. You yourself why haven't you slept?” rania asked without looking at Bian.

“Emm. Can we have a little chat?” bring Bian.

Bian's words immediately made Rania turn to him. And unintentionally the gaze between Bian and Rania met, even that gaze locked onto each other.

Degs...

‘My heart is pounding when it's nearby. My eyes were ceaselessly staring at her dazzlingly beautiful face. Oh God could it be that I... fell in love?’ Bian is monologuing in the heart.

“Eh sorry, I'm done now. And.. day is already night, we better just rest so that tomorrow can wake up early and not late morning prayers.” Rania left behind Bian who was still standing in the middle room.

Bian relentlessly stared at Rania's increasingly invisible back. Because Raia had turned and entered her room.

‘New also still want pe de ka te, is even the target to play away just like that. Present Bian, patiently..this is a test.’.

Bian sighed, he also fared the same as Keenan. Must be extra patient to melt the heart of the woman who became a lantern in her life.

And since everyone was asleep and Bian felt lonely because he was alone, Bian finally decided to pull the blanket after positioning himself beside Bayu. While Naina slept with Larisa in the room provided by Aletha.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the second third of the night where the time entered at 00.00 to 01.00 in the morning Keenan woke up from his sleep and he decided to perform the prayer tahajud two rakaat. Slowly he inched from his bed so that his movements did not make Aletha or Alina wake up.

After taking water wudhu Keenan wearing a cocoa shirt, sarong and pecinya. After it was considered neat prayer rug he stretched to immediately perform tahajud prayer.

After that, Keenan did not forget to read the prayer and ask forgiveness to the Supreme Being, Allah SWT.

“Allaahumma laka aslamtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alaika tawakkaltu wa ilaika anabtu, wa bika khaashamtu wa ilaika haakamtu faghfirlii maa qoddamtu wa maa akhkhartu wa maa asrartu wa maa a’lantu wa maa anta a’lamu bihiminnii. antal muqoddimu wa antal mu’khiru laa ilaaha anta. wa laa haula wa laa quwwata illaa billaah.”

“Oh Allah I surrender only to You, to You I believe, to You I trust, only to You I return (repent), to You I complain, and to You I ask for a judgment, so forgive my past and later sins and what I hide and do openly and what You know more than me, You who precede and who end, there is no God but You, and no power (to avoid disobedience) and no strength (to perform worship) except with the help of Allah.”

“Aamiin.” Aletha answered the prayer that Keenan prayed.

Although Aletha airs her voice softly but the voice is able to be heard by Keenan. So that made Keenan feel surprised, immediately turned to the center of the voice.

“Why does Neng wake up?”

“Then...why does Aa not wake Neng if you want to pray tahajud?”

Aletha approached Keenan who was still sitting on the floor. Then Aletha looked into Keenan's eyes which always provided shade for her.

“That Aa did because Aa did not want to disturb Neng while sleeping so fast. Aa.. no couldga.”

Aletha was bearded, she did not feel angry at what Keenan was doing. But in his heart Aletha was curious and he also kept the question ready to be asked to Keenan.

“Bby.” Keenan.

“What Aa always do tahajud prayers?”

Keenan smiled, he knew with the question asked Aletha Keenan would try to explain in as much detail why it is mandatory for him to pray tahajud prayer even though the law of tahajud prayer itself is sunah. And Keenan will strive to be the husband who guides Aletha as his wife to the path of God, because Keenan also wants Aletha to be an angel in heaven with him later.

“Aa often do it, even almost seoeeyiha night Aa wake up to perform tahajud prayers. Although tahajud prayer itself is the law of sunah, but for Aa it is mandatory. Because tahajud prayers will be of great benefit if we as servants of God run it.”

“What are the benefits, Aa?” aletha asked enthusiastically to listen to Keenan's explanation.

“Sholat tahajud has positive benefits for our health, Neng. Maintain respiratory health, enhance immunity, prevent kidney failure, prevent heart disease, chemotherapy in the absence of side effects and prevent hypertension and hypotension.” Keenan explained at length, but it was so easy for Aletha to understand.

Aletha mangosteen, curiosity also popped the chest. Although all this time had been practicing tahajud prayer but it was done only to the knowledge of the law.

After listening to Keenan Aletha's explanation, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and took ablution water to perform tahajud prayers.

As long as Aletha still conducts tahajud Keenan prayers faithfully waiting for Aletha while still maintaining his ablution. Because after that Keenan wanted to recite a prayer for Aletha.

‘Yes Allah, I have performed the sunah prayer in one third of the night. May You always forgive the sins I have committed in this world. And may You also always make it easier for me in all my affairs.’ Aletha prayed in her heart.

After Aletha guaranteed her prayer, she turned to face Keenan who was sitting behind her waiting for her.

“Aa... salim first!” Aletha.

Keenan gladly extended his hand, and Aletha grabbed him and kissed Keenan's back even though his hand was still wrapped in a face. After kissing the hand of Keenan Aletha has a sense of its own, there is a sense of happiness and there is a sense that makes him have to obey a husband.

“Ya already, Neng sit here first!”

Keenan asked Aletha to sit in front of him, and Keenan's hand he placed on the top of Aletha's head and recited the prayer.

“Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.”.

“Wallazina yaqlakina rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa anzurriyyalatina qurrata a'yuniw waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama. Aamiin..”.

“What prayers did Aa read this time to Neng?” aletha asked with curiosity.

“Pray for wife to always be happy. This prayer is also listed in the letter of Furqan verse 74 and has the meaning also Neng,”

“What does it mean, Aa? ”

“That means... O our Lord, grant us our wives and our descendants as well-wishers (us), and make us priests for those who fear.”

“Aamiin..” Aletha immediately guaranteed Keenan's prayer after knowing what the prayer Keenan had read earlier.

“Yes already, mumpung still at three Neng sleep again gih! Remember tomorrow the time of the family vacation, not good also if we continue to be in the room.”

“If tomorrow we vacation Aa won't mind, right? You see.. we can not have quality time both.”.

“No dong, Neng. Let's just say this is a test and we as servants of God must be patient, there must be a time for us to be able to quality time both.”

The two returned to lay down their bodies next to Alina who was still asleep. But when the clock showed at half-five in the morning Alina had woken up with happy twinkle eyes scattered from both round eyes.

“This is another test from God, when the eyes are still sleepy but must stay awake if very lamp has been awakened.” Keenan hugged Alina and kissed her bakpa cheeks.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“What would you like to eat for an event on his beach?” aletha asked Mama Nina, Luna, Bu Laila, Naina and Rania.

“Beak seblak ceker, roasted chicken and sate maranggi. What about that menu?”

“May be that too, Naina. Then someone has to go to the market first to buy the material. You see.. in the refrigerator is up.” Aletha grinned when remembering the contents of the refrigerator was not fulfilled all the necessary spices.

“I'm fine, sis, I also want to buy something before leaving.” Rania offered herself.

When Rania offers to go to the market there are ears that hear, none other than Bian. And that's when Bian kembli did his pe de ka te action with Rania.

“Hai, where are you going to bring all the bags? Want to go to market?” ask Bian.

“This sister, Rania does want to go to the market. What's the matter, brother?” Rania turned around to ask.

“It's okay. Can brother Bian interra, should want to buy something also in the market.” Bian gave his alibi only answer.

Recalling the time that continued to run Rania nodded, agreeing to the offer from Bian. And Rania took a seat in the back seat with Bian's bike. Because Rania was afraid to hold Bian, the bag she was carrying was placed in the middle to serve as a barrier.

Hix...

‘Yeah, failed also my hope in the hug the same way. Please sensitize a little Rania, I was in love.’ Bian is monologuing in the heart.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Neng want to play which one? Banana boat, snorkeling or... others?”

“Emm... Neng just wants to sit here, Aa. Pity Alina if left later.”

When Keenan was about to take a seat beside Aletha, wanting to accompany Aletha and Alina suddenly Bagas Kara called out to him...

Seriate...
