Between Love and Mission
Chapter 48
A month later, Rey has released her latest film, and in seven days the audience has reached fifty thousand. Everyone praised Rey's acting in the film, and of course the song she sang. Now Rey is preparing to start a tour of eighteen cities, where this tour is held as a venue for film promotion, meet and great, and watch together in the cinema with the fans.
And during that time Rey no longer alluded to her request to sleep with Vane. At least he felt relieved because Rey is now more busy in the studio or go with the production team to prepare the tour.
And tomorrow Friday Rey will go to Medan as the first destination for her tour, while Vane can not take her to the airport. And the night before Rey went to his wife's camp. Vane lets Rey sit on her bedroom couch.
"Van, I'm going away for a month to start my movie tour. You can contact me via HP if you need anything. And I hope you'll be okay."
Vane smiled and replied, "I'll be fine."
"If there's any need to ask Mbok Nami, Sita, or mamah me."
"Rey, I'll be fine."
Rey nodded at Vane's warning tone. He then stood up and Vane escorted him towards the door.
"While I'm gone, can you please think of my request? Maybe, can you give me an answer after I get back from the tour?"ask Rey expectantly.
"We'll see. Maybe your feelings will disappear to me after you come back and don't want that anymore."
"If I've made a decision I usually won't change it."
"You are night."
"No. I won't" Rey replied firmly as she left Vane's room.
*****
Friday night when Vane came home from the restaurant and did not find Rey waiting for him as usual, she felt a little lonely. He misses Reyvano. His laughing voice, his warmth, his jokes, his face...Vane missed his presence.
After Rey's departure, Vane has a new ritual waiting for a phone call from Rey. Before going on stage Rey would call her and they would talk for five minutes. Then after the end of the show Rey will call Vane again and say the show was a success.
After the excitement of the birth of her baby Clara, now she disappears again. It's possible that she's trying to raise her child in the country, as a Chinese citizen doesn't she have the right to live there indefinitely. And will Dani appear in public to admit that baby Clara is hers.

Tonight after a week of Rey's departure, Vane is trying to refocus on her mission. He went back to look for the information he had left behind.
"Geez, marrying Rey made me fuck the intel world. What will the world say" said Vane while drinking orange juice in front of him.
Now Vane is back playing laptop in his room, it feels calm to do everything. And now Vane is looking at the screen of his laptop Rius is in the library with Adam. Vane immediately put on the earpiece and put the ears wide.

Rius sat before Adam with a cold face and a sharp gaze.
"I already know what mission we're going to do next" said Rius looking at Adam.
"Can't we stop doing this? I'm already tired. I just got my son back and now I have to destroy him" Adam said.
"You want to stop? Alright. Have you forgotten how I've eliminated the people who got in my way?"challenge Rius with a sharp look.
-----
Thirty years ago.
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Adam only arrived in his hometown after a long journey by bus from the airport to his home. For almost four years she has not returned to America after marrying Sarah. Arriving at his residence, Adam immediately met his parents.
Welcomed with joy of course. But unfortunately Adam could not bring his small family to America because of limited costs. Here he would ask his father for help to work or even do business. Because he has tried many times to do business but failed.
"Adam!"
Call a man of Adam's age, he was Rius his childhood friend. Rius approached Adam who was sitting in the garden of his house.
"Good news. I heard you were married and had a child. Where's them?"said Rius.
"They're in Indonesia. I can't bring them along because I don't have enough money. And now I have to try to get up after my business fails. I don't want to be looked down upon by my wife's family" Adam said, looking very sad.
"I will help you" Rius said confidently as he patted Adam on the shoulder.
"thank you. You're my best friend" Adam replied.
Adam agrees to join Rius. And without Adam knowing Rius was not the friend he thought he was. Rius even had the heart to eliminate his parents because he knew that he killed his former lover and was about to report him to the police. But before that happened he had already managed to eliminate his parents. And Rius' cleverness makes his parents die as if his house has been robbed by criminals.
And knowing Adam would do business with Rius Adam's parents was clearly prohibitive. Because they knew that Rius was not a good person. They saw how Rius did not cry at his parents' funeral. Adam's parents thought Rius was a psychopath, and they did not want Adam to fall into the world of Rius.
Knowing Adam's parents forbade his son from working with him, Rius did not remain silent. He did the same thing to his best friend's parents. Adam who just returned from the store to buy necessities before returning to Indonesia was so surprised to see his parents sitting already drenched in blood.
"Dad, Mommy. Wake up!"adam shakes the body of his parents.
"How was the surprise from me?" Rius appeared with a knife that had been glazed with blood.
"What are you..."
"I killed your parents just like I killed my parents. They dare forbid you to work with you. Yeah don't blame me if I take their lives" cut off Rius who spoke so casually and calmly.
"Psychopath! You must have eliminated my parents. I won't let you be free!"adam shouted to reach for the phone.
"If you dare to report this to the police then I assure you, your son and wife are dead before you return to Indonesia"sela Rius looked coldly at Adam.
Adam is shocked when Rius finds out about his family who is far from America.
"Not to be surprised like that. I already know where they are. If you fuck up I'll just call my people to get rid of them both. Hows it? Which one did you choose?"bargain Rius with his sly smile.
Adam had no other choice, he finally wanted to go with Rius. Rius always wanted to do something that made him happy to see others suffer. And he decided to commit a crime by selling weapons illegally. Where the weapon is commonly used by criminals or mafia groups to carry out their actions to kill targets. And that's the source of Rius' happiness, if he knows how many humans died from the weapons he sold.
And five years later, while they were on a mission in France, they met Jade, a poor, debt-ridden man who was being pursued by moneylenders. Rius helps Jade and invites her to join his team. But again Rius had to kill Jade's wife because she knew of her husband's crimes and told Jade to stop. Of course Jade doesn't know all that, only Adam knows. Because he followed Rius on his way to Jade's apartment. And he made the fabrication as if Jade's wife was self-sustained, even though she strangled Jade's wife using a large iron wire.
Rius always devised a plan from the beginning to the end. He uses Adam and Jade as bait to disguise themselves as they steal the weapon from the country's official military headquarters. Therefore, at least only Jade can fight Rius because he does not know how sadistic Rius eliminate his wife and make Steven lose his mother.
-----
"Why do you look tense?" Jade is now at the door of Adam's library, and at that time Rius has finished stopping his story about the events decades ago.
Adam must try to look calm in front of Jade who he thinks is a still holy demon because he knows nothing. Jade was already sitting between her two comrades while raising her legs.
"good. What are we gonna do about it?"ask Jade to relax.
"Russia will launch an external AK-12 rifle with usable calibers of 5.45 x 39 mm; 5.56 x 45 mm NATO and 7.62 × 39 mm." Rius showed me a photo of the weapon.
"And the Indonesian military bought these weapons from Russia. And the weapon will arrive in Indonesia in three months. If we manage to get it, we will get millions of dollars after selling this weapon to the Israeli military" Rius continued.
"Wow...Israelite. You're going to make a state that doesn't own that territory go back to eliminating the Palestinian population?"ask Jade unsure.
"Don't you want millions of dollars?"reply Rius.
"The Palestinians are already suffering what Israel is doing, why are you selling these weapons to them?"ask Adam.
"Shut up! Do this mission or you'll see your source of life bleed!"threaten Rius with a demonic look.
"You mean if I don't want to do this, you're gonna wipe out Steven like that? Fucking demon!"cry Jade emotion.
"Jade.sit down" asked Adam to pull Jade to sit down.
"If you don't want your most precious treasure to be lost, just do as I say" asserted Rius who did not accept any argument.
The devil, Adam's mind.
