The Athena Code's
65. Back To Naval

Rossie ventured to look at Arthur's netra deeply, hoping to find a clue. Perhaps there is a little longing that he can find there after Arthur spent more than two months in Jakarta. But nil, there are only glare eyes flat and cold, making Rossie almost frozen.

“Alright Rossie, are there any complaints about the sample you are testing?” Arthur asked to settle their affairs immediately.

“Mmm..overall no constraints too meaningful. We just can't stop thinking about robot X's learning ability, we named it robot X because you haven't given it a name yet" Rossie explained.

"Reports from astronauts who participated in space with robot X in our routine mission to Mars, the X robot is capable of problem analysis and provides a hundred times faster and more accurate problem solving than the astronauts themselves. They're starting to freak out now?” Rossie hangs up.

“Fear?What's with our sample?’’ Sela Chen is curious.

“Of course they are afraid of losing their jobs, because the performance of robot X as an astronaut assistant is much better than the astronauts themselves. Congratulations, your samples are received and we will soon sign a contract worth five billion dollars for the first stage of procurement of X.’’ robots Rossie chanted passionately in mysterious twists that continuously lead to Mr. G. Ah, how much he admired this man and he would do anything to be by his side.

“Yess, yahuuuu......!!” Chen screeched, raising his arms to the front of his chest with clenched fingers.

Even Arthur also smiled late in satisfaction and joy. Given the hard work, struggle and totality of the ASTROGUN robotics team that is extraordinary in completing every job that is charged to them.

“Thanks Rossie Jane Jordan,’’ said Arthur with a heartfelt smile.

At once Rossie was like floating manned. Well that's just doang! It was just a smile, but it was very rare for him.

“Thanks again, it's because you guys are great,” praise Rossie with an erratic feeling.

“This we should celebrate,” Tukas Chen with overflowing excitement.

‘’Ok, therefore I invite you to lunch together.” Rossie reminded Arthur and Chen.

“Hmm, okay,’’ This time Arthur started enthusiastic.

“Oya, the signing of this project will be carried out directly by the Ministry of Defense next week in a very closed symbolic event at Langley Research Center, one of NASA's headquarters here, Virginia. The event, titled NASA FUTURE PLAN, will only be attended by important figures from certain circles, including the Secretary of Defense of the United States. Here I have brought to you the complete agenda and what you have to prepare,”Next Rossie while removing a large envelope from her bag,’’read later.”

"It makes me tense, but we'll do our best,” Arthur said. ’’Chen, lead directly preparation for this event at Langley,” Arthur command.

‘’Good Mr. President, best preparation for the best appearance, please,that night everyone will be stunned to see the sophistication of the robot from Astrogun at once they will be very lucky to finally see the CEO of Astrogun appear in public. How genius and handsome,” Respond Chen with incessant slurs.

"Please cut back on the unimportant talk, "Ketus Arthur was upset to make Chen's face like ice.

“That night you will have to announce the official name for robot X, as well as a demonstration of the capabilities of robot X on stage, in front of all invited guests including the Secretary of Defense of America,’’ Rossie is trying to give Arthur and Chen a hint because he wants them to look stunning on the show later.

“You have made it easier for us in this project Rossie, We will show the best and will not disappoint you,”Strict Arthur.

‘’Alright, then. Can we leave for lunch now?’’

“OK, come,’’ Arthur agrees while loosening his shirt collar.

“Come on, we celebrate all this,” Chen's excitement has not yet receded.

Arthur, Rossie and Chen go hand in hand followed by fifteen special bodyguards from Astrogun plus Alexus' roboguard. They're heading to Steinhilber's restaurant.

‘’Chen, is there any further meeting after this lunch?’’ arthur asks her to confirm the possibility that she could steal time for her personal business. He was still thinking about Heilen's annoyance at him. He didn't want Heilen to misunderstand.

“Iya, one more meeting with DARPA's supreme leader. Maybe we'll be done around five in the afternoon,” Report Chen.

“Hffhhh.....’’<TAG1> This time Arthur could only take a heavy breath. Why the three most important meetings should line up on the same day.

Gerald Gremio's luxurious palace,

Gerald sat in his throne seat like a king. Dozens of his guards were always ready around him.

Gerald looked at his phone screen with a sharp grin, studying the Heilen Putri Munaf biodata that he easily obtained from a hacker of his faith.

He thought it would be very easy to approach Heilen Putri Munaf, it turned out that he was wrong. How to get the right time to approach a woman who served on the battlefield. There is no time for such a woman

‘'Who thought he was a special medical personnel Seal Team Five,’’ Mumbled Gerald.

"Truly challenging to conquer," Hissed Gerald again to himself.

In time, there will be a way to get close to him. I will do it patiently and slowly, Gerald whispered in his mind.

So many women around him, but he was always more interested in his woman another great man. It would have been satisfying for Gerald to have conquered such a woman.

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

Munaf Family Home, San Diego , California

Heilen swallowed his disappointment so deeply that he unwittingly fell asleep on the floor, still in Lala's baby room.

‘’Heilen, Heilen ..., wake this up already at sixteen thirty,”

Heilen squirmed, opening his eyelids slowly. Faintly he found the figure of the mother in front of him holding baby Lala. He recalled that this afternoon he had to leave for Naval Amphibious Base.

‘’Argh, mom and dad are home from Virginia...., what time is it?” Gegas Heilen.

“We arrived an hour ago, but mom didn't have the heart to wake you up. Isn't this afternoon an invitation from your Unity coming?’’ Antonia asked less sure of his memory.

“Oh yes, ma soon they will arrive. Sorry, I can't linger at home,’’ Sesal Heilen with his face down.

‘’Aaah, please, as long as you are still in California you can go home every holiday.’’ Sela Ahmad Rizal Munaf eavesdropped on their conversation earlier.

‘’Oya, we did not see Darren from earlier. Is he out with his friends?” Ahmad Rizal Munaf.

‘’Papa, mom. Darren says he got Job Part time which is a decent salary. For a while he stayed at his workplace and attended school from there. Maybe tomorrow he came home to pick up his textbooks and he himself will explain it,” Heilen replied unable to tell the true events to his parents.

‘’Is it too urgent so can't wait for us to come back first?’’ Antonia Protests.

“Come, ma. Just talk to him tomorrow. I want to check my equipment again,’’ Sahut Heilen tries not to continue the conversation.

Heilen rechecked whatever he needed to bring. Not much, but still he has to be careful.

Drrr.

His phone vibrated.A message came from Zeus.

Hi Kid, your holiday is over. Humvee will be at your house soon, hurry up, we all miss you. (Jew)

Heilen smiled happily, Zeus was already like the eldest brother to Heilen. Little is still there that makes him entertained after almost a day waiting for Arthur who did not also contact him, as well as Mr. G did not respond to any of his messages.

Heilen replied to a message from Zeus.

Ok, big brother I'm ready.(Athena-1609)

Heilen is ready with his full uniform and armybag. Then he headed to Papa and his mother who were playing with baby Lala in the back garden. Well, Heilen is grateful that there is a baby Lala so that his parents are not too lonely, especially after Darren is not home.

‘’Papa, mom. I'm goin. I'm picking baby Lala. At the latest I will call home one month later,’’Ucap Heilen can not hide his sadness every time he said goodbye to the two figures he loved the most.

It is not a farewell that makes him sad, he is only sometimes unsure if he can return in the same circumstances.

Antonia kissed Heilen's face over and over.”Honey, take good care of yourself,’’ He rubbed Heilen's hair full of love.

“Iya, ma.’’ Sahut Heilen who returned rigid to see the mother's freshness.

“Come,’’call the father in a vibrating tone, sounding more fragile than the wife

.

“Iya, pa,’’ Heilen splashed into his papa's arms. Long enough he was in the arms of the father who seemed to have difficulty speaking.

‘’Mama and papa will always wait and miss you,’’ Whisper the father in question.

Heilen breaks away from his papa's embrace, heading for baby Lala who is in Antonia's arms.

‘’Lala, bye bye..,mmuah,mmmuahh,” Heilen kissed baby Lala's cheeks with anxiety.He never regretted having this cute baby.

‘’Mama...pay pay...,’’ birthday baby Lala creates a bright tinge on Heilen's previously hapless face.

Heilen stepped followed by mama, and her father was also baby Lala who was in the sling of the mother.

“Hai Franda, I go, bye.bye..,” Pamit Heilen.

“Part yourself well. Don't forget to go back,’’Reply Franda while taking the time to hug and kiss Heilen. Then he also drove Heilen into the NXT360 military Humvee that picked up Heilen.

Heilen went inside the Humvee and waved his hand one last time to mama, papa and baby Lala as well as Franda. Heilen did not turn around until their shadows disappeared from his eye sockets.

Heilen checked his phone for the second time, just a message from Darren that he found.

Take care of yourself, don't forget to come back and forgive me. (Darren)

Heilen smiled bitterly as he typed a reply for Darren.

You're not very good at taking care of yourself. No need to teach me. You're the one who has to take care of yourself! Don't forget to look at your mom and dad as often as possible. Loved you. (Heilen)

Then Heilen turned off his phone. Yes, there are no active mobile phones in the base except for certain days.

After twenty-five minutes of travel, the NXT360 military Humvee is now entering the Naval Amphibious Base area. Pass through the hustle and bustle of the Navy Seal soldiers who are in training, as well as getting ready to carry out various dangerous missions.

Returning to this place again was like returning to his second home. There is a deep longing that he has long been longing for. So many loved grief, struggle, laughter and tears that he could reach this place.

The same feeling, about three years ago, Heilen set foot on Naval Amphibious Base like he was dreaming. Today it made no difference, he still felt like he was dreaming of coming back.

The Humvee stopped right in front of Barak E where it had once been stationed.

‘’Heilen!Heilen!Heilen!Heilen!” Shouted a group of uniformed soldiers complete with smiles and laughter on their happy faces.

Several of them held up a large banner that read ‘’WELCOME HOME ATHENA-1609’’.

Even Heilen saw Reene and Derrick carrying a funny balloon that read ‘’WELCOME HOME”.

Heilen couldn't help but laugh. He laughed but the crystal just drove away.

Heilen poured out of the Humvee, his happiness was no longer able to be restrained.

Zeus and the others welcomed Heilen's body and lightly sat Heilen on Zeus' shoulders.

‘’COME ON..!’’ Shouted Reene and Derrick giving a warning. Then the group of soldiers began to sing the song WELLERMAN together with spirit and motion dance compact.

“Hahahahaha, Zeus.., it’s so Crazy!” He strangled repeatedly for getting a great reception from his lethargic colleagues.

Heilen did not stop laughing happily until Zeus let him down. He was completely carried away and began to forget all the turmoil of his heart.

‘’Heilen, we miss you,’’ said his leting colleagues while hugging him in turns.

“Absolutely I didn't miss you guys?!’’Pekik Heilen while returning their hugs one by one.

“Zeus, I also miss Clara, Eve and Douglas.” very much Heilen said among the hustle and bustle of his colleagues.He asked the wife and children of Zeus who was also very familiar with him.

Now the group of soldiers were sitting freely in the grass, still in a happy mood for the presence of Heilen who had disappeared for more than a year.

‘’You know not, this is very strange to me, you women are always in one way. Clara called me this morning and started threatening me,” complained Zeus.

‘’Darling, you have to bring Heilen to me next week on Monday night, I miss him so much, I promised him a long time ago to take him along if there are any big events at NASA center. Anyway Monday night Heilen should come with me to attend NASA FUTURE PLANE, period!!" ******Cerocos Zeus imitates precisely and comically the glee of the wife that Heilen knew was fierce and Zeus would not dare to reject Clara's wishes******.

Clara Hamilton, who works as one of the chief technicians of NASA, at Langley Research Center, one of NASA's headquarters in Virginia. Of course she was such a cool woman that Zeus did not dwell.

“Hahahhaahahah..., really so, was the event really spectacular and I was able to meet the astronauts?” Kekeh Heilen was carefree and curious about the event mentioned by Zeus.

”All this makes me feel happiest. It turned out that the people I missed also missed me,’’ Tukas Heilen while looking at the face of Zeus with his simple happiness. Although there was a little lara still slipping on the sides of his heart.

Life is not always perfect, he advises himself.

“Good kids, are you guys ready for Training tomorrow?!!” Ask Zeus to his Junior . He switched the conversation.

‘’READY, COMMANDER !!!!!”

......................

The Seventh Floor of Astrogun Corp Building,

Arthur was really exhausted this time.

After a long and pleasant lunch with Rossie Jean Jordan and Chen Yuan, followed by an exclusive meeting with DARPA's supreme leadership until eighteen in the afternoon, Arthur was crushed.

On the sidelines of his activities he is still disturbed by the shadow of Heilen.

No matter how tired he was, he grabbed both of his phones.

Seven missed calls from Heilen on his main phone. Plus three messages in the inbox.

*Arthur, if we're not busy, can we talk for a minute? *

*Arthur, I missed you?*

*Arthur?? *

"Hufffhhhh.... " Arthur breathed heavily. His chest felt tightened by the same longing.

Arthur went back to check on his other phone.

A message with a fairly long narrative of the same woman.

I remember I told you in the Panshjir Valley of Afghanistan that a cold, handsome man like the CEO of Astrogun is my ideal type of man. I was joking at the time.

Mr. G, I'm sorry I just found out that you're the famous CEO of ASTROGUN. I should have known a long time ago, but I was too naive.

Why always hide your true identity from me. Do I not deserve to know the truth?

I hate the way you lie and I don't want to continue being friends with you anymore.

Arthur immediately pressed Heilen's number on his main phone, but there was no sign of life.

Repeatedly he tried it still stated that the number was off.

Maybe because he was too tired with his activities all day, Arthur became cranky.Ingin it feels like he threw a cellphone in his hand so that the flat object was smashed into pieces. Such was his current uncertain mood.

In the end, he rubbed the smartphone screen again. Activating the Gps microchips system that he planted in Heilen's body. He easily knew where Heilen was whenever he wanted.

"He was already at Naval Amphibious Base, it was fitting that he deactivated his phone, "Arthur muttered with regret and resentment that he should somehow vent to whom.
