“There is no other sentence than ana uhibopen fillah. Difficult or happy we will live together to age. until death will separate us.”.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Bagas Kara gave directions to her frying members. After the shootout occurred very very creepy finally all KKB members were able to be paralyzed without any grudge in their hearts. Because revenge will be useless, it will only lead them to the pit of sin.

Bagas Kara ordered the striped troops to return to Jakarta headquarters. While Bagas Kara himself will go to the hospital with Bian, Bayu, Naina and Rania.

In about two hours they arrived at the hospital. With a little running they headed to the room that Aletha had told through the BMs channel that was still connected to each other.

“Assalamu'alaikum,” say hello Bagas Kara, Bayu, Bian, Naina and Rania together.

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply from inside at the same time.

Slowly the door was opened, the true warrior appeared to have entered in a very proud uniform for them.

Wilona reflexively ran a little and gave a hug to Bayu after seeing Bayu survive the threat of danger.

“Thank God! My wait... not in vain.” Wilona tightened her embrace.

Bayu who felt ashamed of every eye that looked at him wanted to divorce when also the embrace that Wilona put on. However, Aletha shook her head, as if asking Bayu not to do that. Bayu nodded after catching a gesture from Aletha.

“Thanks, for returning safely.” Inspiration approached Naina who was still at the end of the door.

“It.... It has become my duty to be good when running errands, Brother. And that's also my job... as your rib candidate.” Naina was shy when she said that.

The inspiration that heard Naina's words instantly developed a smile, as if the story they were about to knit in the household's ark was soon realized. The attitude of both of them makes everything there happy.

As for Bian, this time the story is the happiest story. After successfully carrying out the secret mission, Bian always holds Rania's hand, even Rania does not accept rejection when Bian's hand is getting tightened.

“How is Keenan?” ask Bagas Kara.

“Alhamdulillah, just wait for Aa Keenan to wake up, Pa.”

“Thank God then.” Bagas Kara looked at Keenan who was still lying on top of the safe with a deep white face because it was pale.

“Pa... Aletha wants to talk to Papa.” for a second

Baags Kara knitted her brows, but she nodded and agreed to Aletha's invitation. And after being outside the room, Aletha took a seat and accompanied Bagas Kara beside her.

“Aletha would like to apologize Papa for... Aketha was angry with Papa. And... Aketha is also very grateful that Papa has allowed Aletha to participate in this mission.” Aletha bowed down, she hid a cry that was about to break.

“You are innocent in this, Aletha. Papa realized, your happiness is in Keenan. And Papa will be very hurt if this Papa child again feels sad even experiencing acute trauma. Because Papa knows, it will attack the human mentality if it happens.”

Aletha who could not hold back her tears immediately grabbed onto Bagas Kara's body and cried in the very arms of the father. Bagas Kara rubbed Aletha's back very slowly sign of a father who was trying to calm his daughter's heart when she was sad.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Alhamdulillah! Finally Aa came to her senses too,” cried Aletha.

Slowly, Keenan's eyes blinked, before long Keenan opened his eyes even though his consciousness was not yet completely perfect.

“I... Where is it? What is this called... heaven?” ask Keenan.

Only the walls are white, even almost the entire room is white. Moreover, seeing Aletha in front of him like an angel made Keenan think that he was already in a different realm.

“Aa is in the hospital.” Aletha smiled, increasingly making Keenan feel confident if he was already in a different realm.

“You... the angel of heaven sent by God to accompany me in heaven,” said Keenan who increasingly bouncy.

Keenan tried to move his hand about to rub Aletha's smooth cheek, but there was a splash of blood on Aletha's cheek.

“Why is there blood?” ask Keenan.

Aletha took a deep breath before starting a long story to Keenan. After Keenan realized that he had not died, he smiled happily. Gratitude unceasingly uttered, even the shadow of his little family filled his eyes.

“Neng, take Aa back home. Aa... would like to see Alina,” pinta Keenan.

“Aa can not go home at this time, we wait until the doctor tells Aa to go home. Okay!”

“Aa does not need a doctor here, besides if at home there will be a doctor as well. His doctor is beautiful and kind anyway.” Keenan was sulking like a child.

And finally Aletha succumbed, he looked for the doctor who handled Keenan earlier. Although the heavy heart of the doctor was allowed Keenan to go home, because Keenan continued to whine beyond the attitude of small children only.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Two helicopters were in the air after Bagas Kara asked the pilot to report to the ATC.

It does not take long to get to Jakarta. After arriving at the airport all separated to go home.

“Tonight all begged to rest at their respective residences. And tomorrow on Wednesday the troops dare to die to come to the base. Likewise with Doctors from the hospital Please Hospitals. Please arrive on time.”

“Good! Sir.” All agreed to Bagas Kara's orders.

Because it was almost dawn Aletha decided to take a bath after arriving at her house. While Keenan he lay his body on the mattress with a face that still looks very pale. Fortunately, Aletha was a doctor, so he helped Keenan heal by sticking an infusion needle in the left back of Keenan's hand.

After fifteen minutes in the bathroom, Aletha finally finished performing her ritual. And the dawn prayer was echoed from then on, ten minutes before Aletha came out of the bathroom.

Aletha immediately wrapped her body with a mukena and then a long prayer rug she stretched. Two rakaat by dusk morning has been performed solemnly'.

“Yes Allah... O my Lord, I give thanks again for what You have given me. Thank You for returning my husband to my life and trusting us in building a harmonious household

After praying Aletha spread her body for a moment beside Keenan. Because the night was tiring and draining his energy he also felt sleepy.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

During the two days of full rest Keenan oin finally felt much better, even his gunshot wound had dried up perfectly. And this morning Keenan was preparing to arrive at the base on time, because he did not want to be late and would be exposed to the punishment he had made himself.

“There is no other sentence than ana uhibopen fillah. Difficult or happy we will live together to age. until death will separate us.” Keenan boasted in the morning when Aletha helped him button up the army's dark green uniform.

“Neng... Why not reply?” asked Keenan while manoel Aletha's cheeks were flushed.

Aletha endured her embarrassment by looking down, although Keenan's boast was very loose and cheap but it had managed to make Aletha feel happy.

That morning Keenan looked so dashing when wearing a full army uniform, as well as Aletha who looked beautiful when wearing the clothes of the persit mother who was the same color as Keenan. And the two of them seem to be a very compatible couple, making people feel jealous when they look at them. Because they are currently a hit couple among young people and among the elders.

“Rania, you didn't come with us just to leave?”

“It seems not, Brother. Later... Rania has picked up.” Rania was timid when she said it.

Not long after that the person who picked up Rania had come. Rania opened the door and welcomed her arrival...

“Bian,” strangle Aletha.

Aletha did not expect that Bian would pick up Rania. Even Aletha, Keenan and Bu Laila were surprised by the submission they were going to live that day after the event that was to be held in the Battalion field.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

All had gathered, even marching on the Battalion grounds and under the scorching sun. But it was ignored by all of them, because the heart was the happiest day for a Keenan. Because Keenan had risen to the rank of Major, rising one rank above the captain.

The boisterous applause had deafened everyone as Keenan went up on stage and received the bet attached to his uniform.

“Congratulations! Captain.” One by one Keenan's colleagues gave him a hug as a sign of congratulations.

Not only the promotion obtained by Keenan, which makes the happy Bagas Kara family and friends of the army dare to die. There was a lot of good news that day.

Bian will invite Rania to make a submission, as well as Bayu who will do the same with Wilona, filing a submission. Ilham and Naina will have their wedding in one week.

And that day was the happiest day for all of them after being on the brink of death that had almost taken their lives.

Until the lanterns are lit with the power of love is able to spread its light to all corners of the room. And make the room have a light that sparkles perfectly.

“Aa.. can not if, Neng asked for a gift because Aa who has risen in rank?”

“What gift, Neng?”

“The reward is.. a melted ice cream with a sprinkling of chocolate bars on it.” Aletha seemed to imagine the delicacy of ice cream melted in her mouth later.

It didn't take long for Keenan to order that ice cream. Only through Sofia the ice cream could it quickly reach Aletha's residence.

Aletha so enjoyed the atmosphere of her small family togetherness accompanied by ice cream that reconcile the heart. There was only laughter accompanying them on the happiest day. And that is the strength of Aletha's heart and the motto of love with Keenan, which always binds the two under any circumstances. So obvious if Aletha is the rib Keenan who will always strengthen Keenan's body.
