The Athena Code's
30. Love shines between Light and Dark Shadow

A bright beginning of February. The city of Jakarta is already too familiar with traffic jams and sultry.

"Damn, what kind of traffic is this. I can go crazy if I live here for a long time . " Robert with a sour face, but only 30 minutes they are stuck in traffic. Fortunately, the luxury Minibus BAV Luxury auto design that brings them quite makes Robert comfortable. But for Robert who is very thorough and calculated, time is very valuable.

Bayu Candra, the Indonesian man who brought them could only smile knots and head bobbles. "Not to mention the jam jammed two hours, hadeh.. " Murm Bayu with the lowest voice possible. Ciut also had the guts to see the look of the people he was carrying at the moment. The style is similar to James Bond according to Bayu.

"It's close, it won't be five minutes we'll arrive at our destination. " Vivian.

Sure enough four minutes later they arrived at a house that was classified as luxurious, consisting of three floors and with a large enough yard. Robert, Vivian and five other members of the shadow come out of the minibus.

Robert pressed the circular remote button on his wrist. After a beep twice, Hera, the robot warrior, appears from behind the minibus door.

Bayu jumped with unsteady knees. Fear is growing increasingly tearing him down. He was only told by the boss who owned this luxurious house to pick up the boss' guest. Bayu has no idea who they really are. For the first time in his life he saw a robot.

"Let's go in and make a plan. Mr. Nick Jefferson will help us for sure. " Vivian said starting to introduce the owner of the house to Robert and the others. Nick Jefferson is a former FbI agent who has lived in Indonesia for a long time and is a partner of Vivian.

"Good.We must immediately strategize, I do not like to procrastinate." Hiss Robert with his voice that can make the enemy's heart tremble.

"I have a lot of strategies that you can make choices. Just order me to display the mapping or details on the monitor. " Sela Hera

Vivian's eyeball glanced sadistically at Hera who was walking behind Robert. "Your mission is to follow orders, not give covert orders. " Ketus Vivian is upset with the robot warrior Hera.

"And only Robert can give me orders. " Hera Sahut is intelligent, flat, emotionless.

february 4th, 2022

Kamila completely forgot that today there is an invitation for a family gathering from aunt Ayana Wijaya (now Ayana Sinaga). Aunt Ayana is the younger sister of Stefanie Wijaya (Stefanie Yildiz), mother of Arthur and Kamila.

Ayana first let go of her long life, and a year later Stefanie married Alexander Yildiz . They conceive their first child almost simultaneously without planning. Adam and Arthur's age is not far away. Kamila was born four years later.

The costumes that Ayanas delivered were really fitting and beautiful wearing Kamila, Irina and Heilen.

“Come hurry, invitation is coming soon.”Throttled Kamila while struggling in front of her special room fitting mirror.

‘’Wah, uda Adam picked us up right?kangen also felt some days he never nongol.’’ Sahut Irina's. He was quite surprised not usually Adam rarely visit.

“Maybe he's busy taking care of his job.”Celtap Heilen.”Ish, I feel not free to move with this kebaya dress.’’more.

‘’Basic tomboy you, good luck, hihihi..”Canda Irina.

“Wleeee.’’Heilen replies while sticking out her tongue, making Rachel laugh and Heilen laughs.

Meanwhile Kamila was silent. Only his mind continues to rage, he could not deny that Adam's absence makes it feel like something is missing from his days.

No more nosy behavior, attention, also jokes and laughter of the cousin brother.

‘’Abang Arthur where it is, definitely do not remember also by invitation aunt.”Kamila Gerrutu.

“So I saw in between shoot Rachel home from work she went straight up to the gallery, it's been three days so continue.”Sahut Irina's.

These few days Kamila was a bit worried to see the behavior of her sister. The habit if you are engrossed in painting so forget to eat, forget to shower forget everything, Kamila grumbled in her heart. ”You wait on the terrace, I want to talk to you briefly.” Said Kamila as she ran small towards the 3rd floor.

Kamila saw the door of the gallery open, so she immediately gawked in. “Abang, sorry Mila gangguin first,hehehe.”Her spoiled great-grandson shocked Arthur.

Arthur immediately turned his head.”Eh neng bocil, where are you beautiful like this?”Sapa Arthur warm.

Kamila approached Arthur who spoke while continuing to daub the canvas with his brush.

‘’Tuh right brother forgot, this afternoon we have to go to aunt Ayana's house to attend a family gathering.”Freeze Kamila.“There is a special costume sent by the courier from aunt, Mila has put it on the family room table”Thenjut Kamila while the net is round, astonished to see the painting made by Arthur. “The theme of brother's painting this time is different from usual, who is this soldier girl bang why her face is not visible?.”Comment Kamila while paying attention to the painting “looks back’’ of a soldier girl who is in the snowy desert.

‘’Nobody. Brother only imagines and doesn't know his face.’’Answer Arthur.”Let's go down , brother should get ready.”Arthur continued, rising to his feet, leaving Kamila.

“ I miss You Forever, Hmmm Murmured Kamila read the writing at the top of the painting. Curiosity roiled his heart. He was not satisfied with Arthur's response. He followed the older brother down with a mind full of questions about who exactly the girl in the painting was. As Kamila knows, this is the first time Arthur has painted a girl again after Anastasya Stanford.

Five minutes later Arthur was done packing. Ayana's fine blue batik shirt and black leaf motif appear to be matching on her body. It gives a formal and charismatic feel. Just as he was about to catch up to Kamila and her friends who were neat in the car, suddenly a short message from Bend made him undo his intentions.

Bends:

An X-21 droid, a type of Warrior robot, is unidentified being detected around the picturesque cottage area. Very suspicious.

Arthur: Arthur:

Go into the system, decode the source.

Bends:

I tried but failed

Arthur: Arthur:

Well pick me up now, send all the personnel over, get Alexus ready!

Bends:

Ready it!

Arthur immediately tells Kamila to leave first with Aryo's driver. He himself will follow later with his friends, he told Kamila.

Shortly after the departure of Heilen, Kamila and Irina, Bend arrived with an amerigo international unicat minibus and two other cars. Arthur goes into a unicat that looks like a garbage cart but do not be fooled by the view because the contents are not inferior to five-star hotels.

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

Elsewhere, a BAV Luxury minibus is parked in a deserted field not far from the Yildiz family home.

"I get the movement, immediately I send the picture.Target is "Geon Arthur Yildiz aka Mr. G. Wearing a formal blue batik shirt patterned with black leaves and black jeans subordinates."Report one of the shadow personnel who stand by in front of the monitor. "He entered the white amerigo unicat accompanied by his guards. " Next again.

"Follow from a safe radius. We must not be rash. Run as Lady Barbara ordered. We'll wait for him away from his guards. " Robert responded to the reports of his men.

"Motorcycle teams will follow them. "

"Good! " Squealing Robert.

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

Heilen, Kamila and Irina arrive at Aunt Ayana's house. It seems that all the invited families and relatives have come except Arthur. Everyone in attendance wears matching costumes from aunt Ayana. The women wear a modern kebaya dress in baby blue, while the men wear a blue batik shirt patterned with small black leaves. Men's costumes - women look the same. This costume regulation was made by aunty Ayana to avoid showing off luxury clothes in family events.

‘’Welcome spoiled girl, beautiful once today.” Welcome Aunt Ayana who was so excited to see Kamila. It felt like he hadn't hugged his nephew for a long time.

“Hehehe, aunt is also very beautiful today, Mila kangen..”.Kamila said as she returned Aunt Ayana's embrace.

Adam Sinaga who was talking with his father Reyhan Sinaga and his grandmother Melia Chaniago had noticed the two favorite women with sparkling views. Melia Chaniago is a native of the Padang tribe, so Kamila always called her Uda Adam. Adam still noticed the interaction between his mother and Kamila.

While enjoying the food served, the guests who all have family relations and relatives greet each other to release kangen to each other. Adam Sinaga is seen sitting with two men of his age who look familiar. Sometimes they laugh together on the sidelines of their conversations, but I don't know what they're talking about.

“Adam, look this is your pretty cousin's sister, don't you remember.”Reyhan Sinaga said when he met Gina Marpaung, daughter of her younger sister Fitriana Sinaga, who was married to Hendry Marpaung. In traditional Batak often held matchmaking between cousins of different clans.

Gina smiled sumringah but the look on her face reddened in embarrassment. In any case, all this time he greatly admired the figure of his cousin's brother 'Adam Sinaga' who was handsome and very charismatic.’’ Bone (uncle), Gina shy .’’ Sahut Gina.

The attention of Adam Sinaga and the others turned to Reyhan Sinaga who pulled Gina's arm and brought her to Adam's table.

“It's your girl now , a long time lived in the Netherlands, maybe you've forgotten your cousin Adam's sister. Adam come here, let's get Gina chatting so you guys get along. Same family doesn't know each other.”Oceh Reyhan Sinaga made Gina even more embarrassed.

Adam with a heavy heart stood up following his papa's request. Accidentally her eyes collided with Kamila's stare which looked sharp and tense, but Kamila hurriedly threw her face in the other direction.

“So long ago, how is Gina doing now?”Ask Adam stiffly. He just wants to keep his papa feeling by making small talk.

“Good, bang. Yes bang it's been a long time, last met about five years ago.”Gina Marpaung replied with a sweet smile. They continued the conversation while looking for an empty seat.

Reyhan Sinaga looked at the two young men happily. I want to feel like he immediately grabbed a grandson from his only son.

Meanwhile Kamila felt her blood heating up, she was agitated with an erratic feeling. Between anger, anger and fear. The corner of his eyes glanced sadistically at the place where Adam and Gina were chatting. Without realizing it, his teeth clashed with each other, making a gritting sound because his emotions suddenly peaked. Heilen who was sitting next to him realized that but preferred to be quiet enjoying what would happen.

Irina was already invisible to the trunk of her nose after meeting Ivanka Sinaga cousin Adam who had once been a school with her.

Suddenly Heilen's device shook, a message coming in from Admiral Spencer made Heilen think hard.

Based on information from one of our partners at the CIA, Barbara Clarkson deployed her best team to kill you, now they're in Jakarta. Be prepared and be careful .

Heilen replied:

Ready Admiral.

‘’Kamila , excuse me for a minute to go to the restroom.”Heilen hurriedly. He's going to call Rachel.

‘’OK, go.” Kamila's short voice as she sipped her drink without seeing Heilen, her eyes still occasionally looking sadistically at Adam and Gina. Heilen left her alone.

‘’Kamila my spoiled and beautiful son, why lately you rarely visit om and aunt?” Reyhan Sinaga's voice suddenly startled Kamila who was worried about his thoughts.

“Eh, ee..om sorry Mila had not had time to say hello to Om because it looks like Om is very busy. Sorry Om lately Mila's schedule is busy so rarely can come here.”Kamila said as she reached for Reyhan Sinaga's hand which she had considered her own papa. Kamila placed Reyhan Sinaga's hand on his forehead in reverence.

‘’Hehehe, it's okay baby. It's been a long time since Om has duetted with you. Let's now celebrate this meeting with a song.”Pinta Reyhan Sinaga and Kamila could not resist.

Reyhan Sinaga holds the hand of his nephew who he has cared for since the age of 9 years. Kamila used to prefer living in Indonesia than following Papa and his mother in London because Kamila had singing talent that he wanted to develop in Indonesia.

Reyhan Sinaga took Kamila to a small stage made especially for this family banquet. All eyes were on the uncle and nephew, not least Adam Sinaga who began not to focus on conversing with Gina Marpaung.

“Om choose the song.”Kamila

“OK okay. Om choose your favorite song, ‘’Something Never Change’’ from the soundtrack Frozen2, hahaha..”Sahut Om Reyhan happy.

‘’Ish..,Cildish.’’Adam Sinaga muttered unconsciously while smiling happily.

“Hmm.., who is cildish bang?’’Tanya Gina with a shriveled forehead.

“Oh, what? Uh, wrong brother ngomomg.”Adam's reply made Gina smile wryly feeling ignored.

The music began to play agile and niece who were dueting. Ayana Sinaga smiled and applauded cheerfully watching the intimacy between her beloved niece and husband on stage.

Yes, the window blows a little bit of a folder

And we’re all getting older

And the clouds are moving on with every autumn breeze

Peter pumpkin just become fertilizers

And my leaf’s a little sadder and wiser

That’s why I rely on certain certificates

Yes, something never change

Like the feel your hand in mine

Something stays the same

Like how we get along just fine…

………………………………………………..

The sound of Kamila that melodious combined with the sound of baritone om Sinaga fun, fun, make all those present stand up and dissolve in the song they sing.Except Arthur who just arrived seemed restless and it feels like he wants to be quick to resign to finish all his affairs. Robert Kanumba is in Jakarta with the Shadow.

Among those present was a man of Adam Sinaga's age who was so enthusiastic and fascinated looking at Kamila that the song ended.

Everyone stood up and clapped, as did Adam and Gina.

"Thank you for the ride, thank you. " Reyhan Sinaga said he was still holding the loudspeaker."How is the son of handsome Yusuf Haidar, a big fan of Kamila who came directly from Malaysia. Meet Kamila, this is the son of Om's best friend. "So Reyhan Sinaga continued as he approached the young man who had been fascinated to see Kamila.

Kamila smiled clumsyly, not knowing what to do.

On the other hand Adam Sinaga suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit to see what was happening in front of him. Today papa has gone overboard, he wrote in his heart. His heart grew irritated to see people outside the family present and wearing the same costume as him. It was definitely his papa.

" Successful young entrepreneurs from Malaysia. Inshaa Allah the future son-in-law of Om. "Sinaga continued Reyhan again excited without realizing the heart of Adam Sinaga like a sharp knife to hear it.

Yusuf Haidar stood before Kamila with a smile and full of confidence. His face was no less handsome than Adam Sinaga.

" Who's handsome huh, same fit Kamila. "That's plain Gina. Unknowingly, he ignited the flames of anger in Adam's chest.

Adam Sinaga still stared at the behavior of the father. If it wasn't papa, I'd beat it right now, he thought.

" Let's sit down together so we can get to know each other better. "Reyhan Sinaga said as he pulled the arms of Yusuf Haidar and Kamila to a table with three empty seats near the pond.

Yusuf Haidar followed Om Reyhan with his sweet smile. He seems very happy. Meanwhile Kamila clumsy and hesitant, but inevitably finally can only obey with the wishes of Om Reyhan.

"Gina, I'm out for a second. " Absolute Adam Sinaga who could not bear to see the disturbing scene before him. Even he did not wait for Gina's response who could only dumbly stare at her disappearance.

Adam Sinaga headed for a special garage motorcycle that he rarely visited. No matter what he just wants to go at high speed like when his emotions were uncontrollable in the past SMA. Of the three motorcycles that lined up he chose his 150 rr kawasaki ninja. Grabbing a helmet and turning the key, he drove along with his heart's irritation that does not know who to point at. A cold wind penetrated into his body that was not wearing a jacket or any other safety.

Unbeknownst to him, three Yamaha N-max matic motorcycles followed him from an increasingly close distance.

"Shadow, Fix according to the latest picture you sent earlier. It is not wrong in front of us is Mr. G. " Say one of the N-max riders who followed Arthur who turned out to be a member of The Shadow.

"Shoot wheel. " Robert's orders from across.

A silent shot hit the rear wheel of a motorcycle driven by Adam Sinaga. The motorbike that was speeding quite fast was also shaken and hit a protective tree on the side of the road. Meanwhile, Adam Sinaga's body bounced off before finally falling and rolling on the asphalt road. Red blood began to wash over his body.

The white Pajero stopped near Adam Sinaga's body. Several people dressed in black came out in a hurry and just lifted Adam Sinaga's body into the car before anyone caught sight of it.
