Love Lanterns
CHAPTER “Ngidam”

”Love and death are the destiny we must live. Love comes by itself, and so does death. Without us asking it will surely come, even though we run as far as any still the result is the same if destiny is determined.”.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Everyone has returned to their own activities. And at lunchtime Aletha returned to Keenan's room to feed him.

“Neng, let Aa eat alone. Then Neng will not feel tired.”

“Aa. Neng continued to complain so, even Neng likes to know to do this. And Neng already named this hospital with love hospital.”

“Hospital of love?” Keenan frowned.

Aletha nodded, then she said, ”Iya Aa, in this hospital Neng can feel love and get love from Aa. With the presence of Atalaric, our family is full of love. Isn't that what it is?”

Keenan just nodded, saying Aletha's words only. Although he did not understand his wife's absurd behavior. For Keenan to see the laughter of Aletha alone was contagious on his lips. Feel a special pleasure for Keenan.

And their togetherness made one's heart feel hot as the netra of his eagle stared intently at them. Who else if not Dimas. Although soon the wedding will be held, but still his love for Aletha never fade.

‘Think He, Dimas. Don't be a stupid man who keeps loving with a heart that keeps getting hurt. If you knew Al, I would be tormented to see you with him.’ Inner Dimas.

Dimas left, he felt unable to bear what happened. Her heart actually felt broken many times as Aletha looked at Keenan with a loving gaze.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Almost every night Aletha slept by Keenan's side during her stay at the hospital. Later that night, Aletha decided to spend another night in the hospital. Because Aletha could not bear if Keenan alone there, although later many will guard like the Guard, Juan or others. However, Aletha who became his wife did not feel afdol if she did not accompany her husband.

“Neng, better Neng sleep at home only. So that the rest can be full, not disturbed by the noise or the clattering of footsteps. Take care of the health of Neng and our child.”

“A...Neng wants her to sleep here. Why the hell, or... Don't-don't Aa don't want ya Neng waitin, because Aa has a new gig so.”

‘Serba was wrong. Why his jealous nature must come at an inappropriate time.’

Keenan had to persuade the sulking Aletha. Intention of the heart wants to maintain the health of Aletha and the baby in the womb, but instead make Aletha sulk not because of its jealous nature. Yes, if a pregnant woman is very sensitive, easy to taste. Isn't that right, reader?

“Neng, not Aa's intention so. Neng Dengerin first explanation Aa, here sit!”

Keenan patted the mattress braker for Aletha to sit there. And after Aletha sat down, Aletha was still sulking with her face shifted.

“Neng, Neng is a doctor must be able to maintain health properly. If Neng is sick who loses, Neng himself later. Can't work, can't eat deliciously, can't treat Aa and will also make her baby dede feel sick.” Keenan stroked Aletha's stomach which had started to bulge.

Aletha turned her head, she looked at the shady Netra Keenan in which there was love for her. Aletha's heart melted a little, she would listen to Keenan's request. And that night Aletha went home to Bagas Kara with Juan.

“Yes already yes Aa, neng say back home first! Assalamu'alaikum.” Aletha greets Keenan.

”Be careful ya Neng, do not forget before sleeping brush your teeth, then ablution and read do'a.”

Aletha nodded, confirming Keenan's request. And when Aletha came out of the room, Juan came.

”I say goodbye first brother, be careful here. I hope... You will not make Aletha sad.”

”Not going. I can guarantee it, because I am half his soul. If He is broken, I will be destroyed. Take care of Him on the way later, do not let anyone blister at all.”

“Ready, Captain. Good luck with your mission.”

Keenan nodded while commenting on the smile.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Al, can sister ask?”

“Hmm...” what an ambiguous answer.

“Why can you love Keenan? He's a big boss who can disappear at any time. In the sense of disappearing, death will snatch her while on duty.” Juan was focused on driving.

Aletha turned her head, looking at Juan sitting beside her. Afterwards Aletha airs a voice that represents her feelings towards Keenan.

“That's called destiny, brother. Didn't.. we could both be dead by now, if God had willed.”

“What a terrible word you say, Al.” Juan shuddered in horror.

“Ya end brother Juan said so. Love and death are the destiny we have to live. Love comes by itself, and so does death. Without us asking it will surely come, even though we run as far as any still the result is the same if destiny is determined.”.

‘It turns out.. There's a wise side in you, Al. I who is just a sister-in-law can be proud of you, especially Luna... Mama Nina and also Papa Bagas Kara.’

After arriving at the house Aletha immediately took off her snack and changed her clothes with a negligee, clothes that are very comfortable for housewives while at home. However, the negligee used by Aletha is not a short-sleeved negligee, but long-sleeved. Because she wanted to be a wife who was able to close the aurat even though it was inside the house.

“Nak, Mommy can't wait for your presence in Mother's life. Mommy sure, you are a strong child like Father and Mother.” Aletha stroked her stomach.

A smile that never faded from Aletha's lips, he felt so happy and did not escape the word thank God to always be grateful because God has given that happiness after he felt like he was hit by a big stone that made his life oscillate in the middle of the sea.

The night is getting late, the clock has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. Aletha began to shut down after doing her routine.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Why did the Captain ask us to come together? Where in the hospital anyway, the smell of medicine out in my nose.” Bian snorted in annoyance.

“Where do I know Bi, if I know for sure I can answer your question it.” Naina grunts.

“Already, we just go into his room. Just beware that He's even molested.”

Bian and Naina make their way to Keenan's room, as Keenan contacts the brave dead and asks them to gather at the hospital when Aletha is not staying there.

“Hei, Guard. Why are you bringing all this equipment? Are we on duty tonight? Aren't we still on holiday?”

“Tuh, just ask the Captain. He asked me to bring all this.”

Keenan only expresses as flatly as possible. Not seeing the tip of his lips interested to paint a smile. Even his gaze was so sharp, making Bian and Naina cringe at the sight.

“Here I whisper something to you about my plan. I don't want to be heard by others.”

Bian, Naina and the Guard approached their ears. And Keenan began to whisper instructions to the brave soldiers to die that became their duty that night and must be done. Especially if the captain has ruled, his order can not be denied by anyone.

“What? Don't be crazy, Captain.” Shouted Bian shrieking his ears.

And the tabokan from Naina instantly floated to Bian's back violently. Makes Bian complain in pain, but he should be able to endure it.

“What is mandatory...for us to do tonight? Couldn't we just buy the meat at the local market? Kan, there's a tuh there.” Tawar Guard.

”I don't want from local market. I want fresh, still not peeled skin. So, your job should be to hunt in the forest and catch the snake perfectly. After that, you guys take it to the hospital and we eat together. And this is an order..”.

“And can't be in... TYRES... TAH.” Sahut Bian, Naina and the Guard simultaneously.

”Well, everyone is smart. Then do it quickly, early morning hunt later.” Keenan gave a thumbs up.

The three armies dare to die out and carry out their duties heading into the middle of the forest to catch snakes as their night hunting targets. And even though they grunted angrily several times, they still had to carry out the task. Especially if the captain has related to the pushup, then their physical and energy will be tired instantly.

”Why have Captain kok rempong once, who cravings that bother even us.” Bian Umbat.

“Entah, maybe this is the name of a dear child, craving in the middle of the night and asking for snake meat... FRESH, not peeled off his skin. And then you peel off your skin, Bian. Ha... Ha... Ha...” Naina chuckles.

And Bian was getting annoyed with Naina's attitude. But, it's okay for his best friend Bian to do everything.

Happy hunting to Bian, Naina and the Guard. Greetings from readers, he said eagerly. Wkwkwk...

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Nih, it's exactly three o'clock at night we give you what the Captain asked. Her thread hasn't been peeled.” Naina gave the snake that was inside the cloth bag.

”Good. Now it's my turn to peel and chop her. The cooking section.. I leave it to the canteen officer.” Keenan.

That night Keenan acted with his skills. Cut a long snake from Bian, Naina and Garda in the middle of the forest. Which has a length of about two meters. Enough to make Keenna's stomach feel full even cravings can be satisfied.

“Pak, what meat is this? Keep cooked how?” ask the canteen officer in rumh's sick.

“This is snake meat, Ma'am. Can be cooked snake soup and roasted snake. I crave it.” Bright Keenan.

The maam who worked in the canteen immediately shuddered in horror, because it was the first time he cooked snake meat that had just been peeled off. I wanted it to feel like I refused Keenan's request, but Keenan put on a face that was so slick. So that makes the mother does not have the heart if Keenan's children will be reeleran later. Moreover, mbak was a big fan of Aletha who became a heart surgeon. Favorite doctor for patients there.

“Should once smell.” Reveal Keenan when his nose smells of a roasted snake.

And an hour later the roasted snake meat and snake meat soup were ready to be eaten.

“You want? Just take it if you want.”

“No need, we'll just give up. Satisfied just eat it, then even ask to hunt again.” Bian held a laugh in his heart.

As one bribe entered Keenan's mouth, Bian smiled smirk. And in his heart said, “You don't know Ke, we've been satisfied and full of eating snake meat in the forest.” And the drowsiness so whack the three, until they unconsciously sleep in just any place.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Snake meat, it looks good.” Aletha muttered after waking up.

Like there is a bond, after Keenan was satisfied to have eaten snake meat processed in two varieties, roast and soup, now even Aletha who actually wanted to eat snake meat.

”Aunty, spirit is right this morning. Are there any impromptu patients?” ask Larisa.

“Emm. Aunty's got an impromptu patient. But..”

Aletha went straight to the bathroom and was faithful in front of the sink. Back Aletha vomited in the morning and faithfully Mama Nina massaged Aletha's nape to relieve her vomit.

“Where dear, has it subsided yet?”

“It looks like it already is, Ma. Aletha leaves for hospital first yes!”

“No breakfast first, babe?”

“No, Ma. Free later, will definitely vomit again. It's a bit of a pity that Aletha ate at the hospital.”

Mama Nina nodded, Aletha greeted Mama Nina and Bagas Kara before leaving. And that morning Aletha went again with Juan, for there was a morning shift until the afternoon just like Aletha.

On the way there was no chatter accompanying Aletha and Juan. Only Juan said in his heart, ” I hope Keenan has cleared everything. Snake, why can you really crave meat soan.” Juan shuddered in horror at the thought of a living snake.

“Why with brother Juan?”

“No. It was just that Brother saw a snake that flashed in front. Fortunately not to step on.” Juan dodging.

“Where is the snake sister? Aletha wants to catch her snake, Aletha wants to eat snake meat. It must be delicious if cooked.” Aletha looking for a snake.

Seriate...
