The Athena Code's
23. The Confession of Adam Sinaga

Salim Fuad looked at the building before him, it looked majestic and had just been completed. Unfortunately, such a large building does not have a good night light arrangement.

Arriving at the parking lot he turned off the music player in his Toyota fortune. Once out of the car he noticed the parking lot in the basement of this spacious building, there were only three cars and two motorcycles.

Maybe I got the wrong address, he thought. He also checked the location point sent by Antonio, someone who contacted him an hour ago and claimed to be the Head of CV promotion. Ambassador Mayapada . He saw his sign in front of the building, very large.

‘’Hmm, location is correct.’’ Sizzle Salim Fuad alone. He pulled the device out of the waistbag with the intention of calling Antonio , the man who offered him a job as an advertising star. He looked for Antonio's mobile number while stepping his foot on the stairs.

“Halo dude, how are you?” A brown-skinned man with a large height suddenly appeared from the end of the upper stairs, followed by four other men who were no less tall and large. They were all dressed in black.

Salim Fuad is besieged. ‘’Halo brother, good news. Can you show me where Mr Antonio's room is?’’ Ask Salim Fuad kindly.

Bugs, Bugs!

Aakhs!

Not the answer Salim got. But two crushing blows on both of his jaws were given the man who greeted him . Not yet had he digested what had happened, both of his hands had been tightly locked by the other two men. Then his body was hit by punches and kicks repeatedly, again by the man who greeted him earlier. Only a groan of pain sounded from him. There was no chance to negotiate let alone escape.

Salim's helpless body was dragged upstairs. Salim is still conscious and can see the circumstances around him even vaguely.

Arriving at a large room that was arranged very neat and luxurious he saw a familiar figure sitting casually on a director's chair. The man smiled sinisterly and looked at Salim sharply. His fingers swirled around playing a remote in his grasp.

“Adam Sinaga, what's your problem with me.” Salim Fuad asked softly from his blood-red lips.

Adam Sinaga did not answer. He pointed the remote towards the back where a large monitor screen immediately lit up showing several slides of images of Salim Fuad who was making out with a sexy dressed woman in a nightclub.

Salim Fuad jerked in surprise.”Fuck.” Curiously annoyed. Those are pictures of him with a girl selegram in Bali Some time ago. How Adam Sinaga can get these photos, even though he has been very guarding his activities so as not to sniff the media or anyone.

PLakk! A loud slap from Adam Sinaga nestled in Salim.”'s cheeks Yes, you are a jerk. Now choose , your body or your ruined reputation . This is not so much, I still have a lot of your videos in Bali yesterday with the wild girl. Say your choice.” Adam's mouth was cold.

Mental Salim Fuad actually began to decay but he ventured to ask;“What does this have to do for you, you have everything, what is the importance of the destruction of people like me for you, he said, I feel like I've never made a thing with you.’’

“Sway Aisyah Kamila Yildiz. Never dare to approach him, bother him let alone think of having him. You are not worthy, keep it.” Tukas Adam again while pushing Salim Fuad's chest with his index finger. While Salim Fuad was still helpless in Adam's confinement.

“Kamila..”. Salim's hiss was weak. Fear began to envelop his heart. His reputation could be destroyed in an instant, everyone would hate him, not least Aisyah. And the hard-earned music career he built will surely be destroyed. In the beginning of his career he took the alternative pop genre, but did not get a reception from the market. Then he switched to forming a rock band with five of his High School friends, once again he failed miserably, even losing money by accumulating a lot of debt. Until one day came a religious songwriter who offered him a recording, without a second thought he took the opportunity for stomach contents. Unexpectedly, the single exploded in the market, the impact he got many big jobs. One of them got a duet offer with a newcomer religious singer who is also on the rise, Aisyah Kamila Yildiz.

“Hmm, I didn't think you were this far because of Kamila. It turned out to be true rumors that had been circulating all along, that you always blocked all the men who approached Kamila. You're nothing more than me, equally a loser.” Salim Fuad said with the rest of his energy and courage.

‘’Hmm, how dare. This time I'm still giving you a chance to live. Remember, if this gets to the realm of law then your career will be destroyed. Antonio, finish your job.” Adam Sinaga then walked out of the room. The sound of punches and screams of pain was still heard until he moved away

Bug, Bug, Bug!!

“Aakh, akh, aaakh..

...****************...

Not until twenty-four hours, the persecution experienced by Salim Fuad dominated the mass media. At 20:00 pm Kamila was at the work desk, having just finished learning a new employment contract. He grabbed his device that had sounded since various notifications came in.

Kamila's finger touched the tearatas notification from an artist's news site, suddenly he was surprised to see photos of Salim Fuad full of wounds and blood. ‘’Astagfirullah, brutal. Who would do this to Aa’?’’ Screeched Kamila with her mouth agape. He immediately searched Salim's mobile number and sent a whatsap message.

Where is Aa’ Salim now?

How is ‘Aa?

After waiting fifteen minutes without any answer, Kamila decided to call directly. Again, there is no answer. Kamila leaned back her body restlessly.

Finally a reply from Salim's number made his phone ring, he accepted the call nervously.

“Assalamualaykum, hello Aa’ Salim how is Aa’ doing now?

“ Thank God, a little quiet. Neng Mila , Aa’ apologizes if there has been a wrong word or deed to cool.

"I'm sorry Aa' neng, Aa' did not know that neng was his fiancee Mr. Adam Sinaga. Again sorry. What happened on the stage yesterday was not Aa's personal wish. Everything is set by "crew" as a gimmick. Pardon..... "

"I mean Aa' What the fuck, I don't understand. What does all this have to do with Adam Sinaga?" Cut Kamila full of curiosity.

"Aa' actually did not dare to say, they could have killed Aa' if this thing spread to others. " Salim's voice grew smaller and even whispered, Kamila caught the fear in Salim's voice. "Aa' was punished by Lord Adam Sinaga through his men. Aa' is wrong and deserves all this. " Salim continued again with a trembling voice.

" Pliiis neeng, tooolooong lest Mr. Adam know that Aa' the story of this is all te to eneng. It could be a lifetime and Aa's career destroyed unceremoniously. On the day of the incident, Mr. Adam himself appeared and threatened Aa'. He should be very jealous and very loving neng Kamila.Pantas course all this time every man who tries to approach neng Kamila always get terror. Tolooong keep a distance from Aa' , once again maafkeeeuuun. Thank you for being so good with Aa'. Assalamualaykum" Pinta Salim Lirih then disconnected the phone. Leaving tension and confusion on Kamila's face.

What the hell? Throw Kamila in the heart. He was always kind to everyone regardless of status and level. Because that is what is taught and exemplified by both parents. He was familiar with Salim Fuad but did not cross his heart and mind to like or fall in love. And Adam Sinaga?? Suddenly Kamila's heart was pounding, her body felt weak, almost she was yawning. "No way, no way... " She's crying. He reached out again to send a message to Adam Sinaga,

Uda, where else?

Mila wait for tonight.

Reply from Adam;

Siaaap, my angel.Uda must have come.we're out for a while, accompany us to dinner.

Kamila replied;

Ok.

Deggs. Kamila's heartbeat is getting worse. All this time he had taken it for granted and only a joke of all the sweet words and attitudes of his cousin, but this time it became different after what he had heard from Salim Fuad. Fear, disappointment, anger and disbelief mixed. Fear is the most dominant . How not, suddenly his heart and blood flow react another time each time remembering all the words of Salim Fuad. Adam Sinaga loved her, claimed to be his fiancee and mistreated his close friend out of blind jealousy, even threatening every man who tried to approach her. It felt like he was yelling in front of Adam Sinaga and cursing at him." This time uda Adam has gone too far" Kamila whispered alone.

It wasn't until fifteen minutes Kamila was ready. A message from Adam has come in .

Wait in the living room

Kamila rushed to the living room and once there was Adam , Irina and Arthur who were engrossed in their respective devices. Adam looked over as soon as he heard the knock on Kamila's shoes. He also rose to welcome Kamila who looked down not as cheerful as usual.

"Arthur, we're going out for a second. " Tukas Adam sounded stiff and formal as usual.

"Hm.... " Arthur just nodded his head. He was busy designing the latest warrior robot model that he had to finish with Chen Yuan.

"Do I have to come too? That means I wasn't invited? " Say Irina lugu. Considering he's an assistant who has to go wherever his boss goes.

"Wait at home. " Sahut Adam was brief as he left the living room with Kamila.

Strange, the tumben Uda Adam is very serious, usually always slipping a joke. And Kamila was quiet, her face was met with red and kept looking down, like people were embarrassed and hiding something. Irina.

Adam intends to take Kamila to his Cessira Hotel. His determination was already unanimous to talk to Kamila about his feelings which he had kept tidy for many years. It was time for him to be honest, no matter what Kamila's response he would accept him as a grown man.

A special banquet room for VVIP has been prepared by the hotel staff. They could only guess - guess who was the lucky woman who captivated the handsome young CEO. To the extent that they were asked to prepare a perfect romantic candlelight dinner. This was the first time they had received orders from the boss and the guest was the boss himself. The curiosity of the hotel staff finally paid off when Adam and Kamila had reached the special banquet room. They could only widen their eyes and whisper in the distance.

The candlelight was dim, the flowers were beautifully arranged and there was only a table and a pair of chairs. Kamila was getting restless, it felt like tonight was so hard to get through.

Meanwhile Adam Sinaga is no less awkward.

"How is the food, is it satisfying? " Task Adam breaking the silence.

"Hmm, appreciable. " Kamila's voice was short and weak, her lips almost quivering.

Adam took a heavy breath, as if to release the thousands of tons of weight that were squeezing his shoulders.

"Mila, please forgive Uda. All this time Uda has kept something that may not be worth keeping and left." Adam said then fell silent for some time to get his heart set. Kamila was also silent in her fear. He was afraid of what he would hear from the lips of the man before him. He seemed to have guessed and felt unable to hear it but was eager to hear a truth directly from Adam Sinaga.

"Mila..., dear Uda Mila is not what Mila thought all along. Uda loves Mila, loves Mila and wishes Mila a companion to Uda's life forever. Forgive Uda. Huffht... " Say Adam while breathing heavily once more. Trying to calm down but not also able to eliminate his anger, imagine how Kamila reacted after this. But the beautiful girl in front of him from earlier just looked down silently. In the dim light of the candle Adam saw clear streams flowing down Kamila's cheeks.

"I am sorry, forgive Uda. " Add Adam gently while thrusting tissue for Kamila. She knew Kamila must be in shock to hear her confession tonight. Sure enough Kamila's shoulders began to move up and down unable to withstand her sobs.

"Mila thought Uda really loved Mila like Arthur's brother to Mila. Mila was wrong. "Look Kamila with a choked voice as if it was hard to get out of her throat.

"Mila, by law the state and the shari'at there is no prohibition for cousins to marry. Brother's feelings to Mila are natural and do not violate the norm. " Adam said with the intention of giving insight to Kamila who seemed to assume the taboo of his feelings.

"Stop Uda! Mila hates uda! Take Mila home. Mila doesn't want to hear anything more about Uda's feelings, this is ridiculous. Mila also does not like Uda to be violent towards others just because jealousy is unclear . Uda selfish. Mila hates Uda! " Speek Kamila suddenly.He did not expect and could not accept all this. A foreign feeling suddenly appeared and made him chaotic so that his emotions exploded.

Adam Sinaga was not too surprised, he seemed to be ready for all possibilities. It was just that he suddenly felt weak and was about to shake. It is difficult to accept the reality of how it relates to Kamila in the future, of course, will never be the same again.

Adam calls his personal driver and tells him to drive Kamila home. Kamila came out of the VVIP banquet room still with tears falling.
