Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 72 ”Do Not Have Breath Last”
”There is a time when we should be able to mature ourselves. Looking for love in the self we do not know. Maybe ... This is the starting point for us to get to know more about what it means to sacrifice in love.”
*********
Keenan received the lantern lamp Aletha gave him, and in full uniform a true warrior Keenan was ready to carry out his duties. And Aletha with her snail was ready to carry out her duties.
”We will start from here to get back to work. I hope you all can run the scheduled tasks even though we had time to experience .. problems that have made us lose the best Doctor in Mercy ship.”
Aletha held a gathering with doctors and nurses in a special room provided. A little motivation from Aletha made all the doctors and other teams more courageous people.
”Doctor Aletha, can Doctor Wilona and Doctor Catrina be saved? Have the soldiers found their whereabouts?”
Aletha gave a smile so that all her team could calm down without any worries that enveloped when running errands, especially when operating the Arab President. But that does not mean Aletha and her team want to do surgery just want to get more sophisticated medical devices from Arab countries.
But that's all Aletha does because of her love for patients who do need surgery and other treatments.

”Bouvet island and Tristan de chuna island.” Bright Keenan.
Before carrying out the mission Keenan gathers his team, then gives a briefing in arranging the strategy he had planned in the arrest.
”But it seems impossible if the city makes its mission to Bouvet island to carry out any transaction. While Bouvet island is famous as a remote island in South Africa without any inhabitants there. If there is, surely not forever they are allowed to settle there.” Bright Guard.
The Guard is no less genius than Keenan. He was elected to special forces. Among them, Keenan as captain, Leon as the right wing, the left wing Guard, Reza in front and Brian in the back. So that all can surround the headquarters built.

”Everything is ready to run their respective tasks, right?” aletha asked to make sure.
”Siap, Doctor Aletha. But ... We didn't see Doctor Edbert. Not that today he served in the data collection section.”
”I'll look for it, you guys please run your errands.”
Aletha gave a smile, then stepped away and was ready to find Edbert's whereabouts somewhere.
'Where the hell is he? Why bother so much at an important time like this?’ aletha.
After tracing every aisle of the ship, Aletha finally found Edbert who was on the bridge of the middle ship with Laura. And Aletha had heard the conversation between the two of them.
”I know right now I misplaced my position. I shouldn't be in the middle of Aletha's relationship with Captain Keenan.”
”Not you are wrong, but this is a destiny we do not know. I also don't know if seventeen years ago they had met each other before.”
Aletha reviewed the thin smile on her lips, one step, she did and approached the two. Then Aletha aired a voice that made them aghast from their seats.
”There are times when we should be able to mature ourselves. Looking for love in the self we do not know. Maybe ... This is the starting point for us to get to know more about what it means to sacrifice in love.”
”I won't blame your love for me, but I won't ask you to stick around or choose you either. Because I'm sure you know my answer. Learning to understand yourself is difficult, sometimes we are afraid of the path of the mind that is not clear. Sometimes ... we feel pain, but be happy even though the person we love with the other.”
”And such a position that we should make as a starting point for us to understand ourselves, try to forget, accept and learn to be mature. Because no one will be able to understand how we are other than ourselves.”
Laura mangosteen, justifying what Aletha said. Because Laura knows how Aletha used to be when Tara left to marry another. Where Aletha must fight with all her might to bury her beautiful memory with Tara. Although they were eventually reunited, but not together.
Tara had a complete family at the time, but now changed after Tara's heart was diagnosed with heart failure.
Edbert exhaled, then he tried hard and understood what Aletha had said. Long story, but easy to understand. Which has a core, where we as humans can only accept and let go. Learning to be a more mature human being in attitude and can not change the destiny that has happened.
”Doctor Edbert, will you be the surgery team later tonight?” aletha looked at Edbert.
Edbert nodded with confidence. Because for him the operation was a very large operation, which could have made Mercy ship and service there could have run high after the news worldwide.
”Only a fool will follow their movements. Bouvet Island is just an island that will be their temporary escape. So that we are fooled ... and eventually will not know the bright spot of their existence.”
Now Keenan again observed the map in front of him. After that, special forces are prepared with sufficient weapons while doing the strategy.
”We chose to visit Tristan de Chuna island first. And I'm sure, they're there.”
”You're quiet! Beautiful doctors like you don't need to be researched anymore, I'm sure .. surely you guys have such a beautiful one. Ha... ha... ha..”.
The chief villain laughed as he heard the sobs of Wilona and Catrina grow increasingly roaring. The fear and worry so puffed up their chests. But they could do nothing but surrender to the Power.
”Catrina, how about we die here? Why did I wake up that morning? Why don't I wait for Aletha. Hiks... hiks... hiks...” the roar of Wilona's cry sounds so sad.
”I don't know either, Wilona. What if it was true that we would die here, and our bodies could not be found. Hik... hiks... hiks...“.
Again the two cried bitterly, even when the chief criminal named Jodie hit them because they were furious to hear a cry that squealed his ear.
”Plak..“
”Plak..“
”You asked to be quiet! Not even crying like this. If you keep crying, then I'll.“.
Jodie moves her hand to the neck, giving the code the meaning of kill.
As Wilona and Catrina fell silent, they were truly afraid that death would take them away.
”Yes, Mr. Ameer. It seems to be true, your heart needs surgery. And the surgical procedure that I will use is .. bentall procedure. Do you allow me to perform the operation in that way?“
”Define how the system works and how the heart works after surgery.“
”Good, I'll explain to you, sir Ameer.“
Aletha nodded, explaining in detail how the bentall process is done and how the heart works after surgery later. And Aletha also assured President Ameer that she could actually carry out the operation. And finally, the president of Ameer also trusted the workings of Aletha who could clearly carry out the operation.
That night was the perfect night for President Ameer's heart surgery. Aletha assembled her team to do the breafing first before conducting a major operation against the president of Ameer. And Aletha did not want to fail in carrying out this operation. Because his name and the name of his team are also at stake in Mercy chip as the best heart surgeon in the world.
After giving instructions and some sharp weapons for them to attack, Keenan momentarily held the lantern lamp Aletha gave him before returning to the headquarters.
”As per my promise, I went to return. And I won't deny it... Al.“
The lantern lights have been witness to the farewell of their love story. Split up to meet again. For the sake of duty both are willing to face the reality of the farewell. And together that night they will do a great task.
”I want you to listen carefully to what I want to say. Let us not all be fooled by their second cunning. First ... I'm going to attack, then one by one on the left and right wings help each other to release hostages. And the rear must be ready to give directions, then ..the front is ready to take hostages and take hostages away. Up here, you all understand?“
”Ready, Captain!“
“Remember, no last breath! You all must survive this great mission. Better kill than be killed.”
“Ready, Captain!”
Keenan and his team are ready to carry out a rescue and arrest mission from the drug dealer. A helicopter takes them into the air to a remote island in South Africa.
”For all of us to be ready for surgery tonight. Although there is no Doctor Wilona and Doctor Catrina, you must dare to look up. And do not forget to focus to look down, the patient's heart must be able to work again. No last breath of the patient.”
“Siap, Doctor Aletha. We will work as much as possible. We will save the patient.”
“Good, ready to do it later tonight.”
Doctor Aletha and team are ready to perform the task of rescuing the patient's heart and even though the patient is a president, but still the person is a patient for his doctors. With as much as possible they will perform surgery with bentall procedures. And that night Aletha with Keenan was on duty for the rescue.
‘Ke .. my do'a will not fade. Your name will always be embedded in my every prayer.’
Aletha reminisced about her last encounter with Keenan before the breakup.
