LOVATY 1.0
Offering oneself
After the live broadcast was over, Damian immediately left the hall. The man walked into the parking lot, searched his car and got inside. He had started the car engine, but then disengaged his intention to step on the gas pedal.
Damian recalls when Ray sent him a message about Qeiza's ex-boyfriend. That day he answered his message.
‘why did you tell me? ‘
^^^‘Do not pretend. You think I don't know what you've been asking for information about some guy all along. You also react every time the name of Qeiza is called. You better start acting before you regret.’^^^
Damian was silent thinking about what his friend said. Is it true that he fell in love with that woman? When did he start to fall for her? He could not find the answer, which he knew little by little he began to involve himself in the personal affairs of the woman.
He glanced at his left hand a silver ring coiled on his ring finger. He even gives the same ring just to convince a stranger of his fake relationship. It's a scam, he thought. Did he pity that woman so much that he had acted this far.
As the man was thinking while playing his ring, he accidentally saw two people walking a short distance from his car, Calya and Arion. Damian sees everything from Arion holding Calya's hand to the man leaving with another woman.
It was difficult for him to translate the situation, so he preferred to be quiet and watch it. Until finally Calya's car left the place.
“Calya home alone? What about Qeiza? Did he go home with his other friends? Or maybe he went home first? But his work was too much, there was no way he would go home first. I'd better wait a minute.”
A few minutes passed after he decided to wait for Qeiza there. Damian could finally see Qeiza was walking from a distance. Damian thought of letting the woman walk a little more and met her up front to look like she happened to still be there.
He put on a seat belt, started the engine and started to run his car slowly. But at that time he saw Fabian was doing something to Qeiza until the woman fell to the ground. Without a second thought, he got out of the car and walked up to the two men. The man quickly got close enough and lashed a punch at Fabian.
“I told you not to bother him!”
Damian went straight to Qeiza who was still crying there, picked up the things of the woman who had fallen and tried to help her stand up.
“You can stand?”
Qeiza who had been covering her face with both hands immediately nodded and grabbed the man's hand. The two of them stepped together towards Damian's car without paying any heed to Fabian there.
In the car the two men were silent. Qeiza was still trying to stop her crying, while Damian just drove around not knowing what she was thinking. Shortly after, Damian stopped his car somewhere. He got out of the car and opened the car door for Qeiza.
“This is where?”
“Parks. Get out first, we breathe fresh air.”
The two take a leisurely walk in the park, befriending the light rays and also the moon.
“Thank you. Once again you have saved me.”
Qeizaa spoke while slightly hiccupping, even the rest of the tears were still on her face. Damian who realized it immediately gave her handkerchief, signaled the woman to wear it.
“If you're really grateful, you tell me what's going on between you and your ex. Why do they always make a fuss every time they meet you?”
“It.. it was my fault for leaving them just like that.”
“Really? Then why are you always gonna change partners? No matter how the rumors spread, to me you don't look like that.”
“The spreading rumors are indeed because of myself. I made them think like that.”
“Then the reason? Even though you did it on purpose, you must have a reason, too.”
“Reason?”
Qeiza stopped walking, for a moment she thought the real reason why she changed so often - change partners. Damian woke him from his daydream, the man took him to sit on a park bench not far from where they were standing.
“I'm just looking for.”
“Search?”
“Searching for anyone who can love me without aiming to target my body. Is there a relationship of lovers who love each other, support each other without any lust in it. I was naive, but at least I was just trying to be honest with myself. This is me and this is the principle that I embrace.”
“You tried it with me?”
“What?”
“Connect with me.”
“Do not joke.”
“Why do enough as you normally do. If I do something bad to you, leave me like them.”
“Since when did you start talking casually to me?”
“That's because to me you're no longer a stranger. But this question is not to divert the topic of conversation right?”
“View clearly huh?”
“Means?”
Qeiza betanya innocently. The woman's brain was too tired to think. The look on his face at this moment made Damian frustrated as well as comforted.
“I mean, I offer myself to you.”
Qeiza.
“I am not a bad choice. I'm tall, handsome, have a good job, and I've saved you twice. Isn't that enough to convince you?”
Qeiza is still flinching.
“How?”
“Good.”
“All right?”
“I accept your offer. But, whatever happens later will not affect work problems right?”
“I'm professional, no need to worry. It's late, let's take you home.”
***
At Calya's apartment. The woman was sitting on the couch after taking a shower and refreshing her body. He has prepared with ARGlassess and a smartphone in both hands. Without hesitation put it on and enter LOVAWORLD.
“Hai,” says Keanu.
“Hai,” reply Calya with weaker voice.
“New home from work?”
“Yes. Remember when I said we were gonna handle the live broadcast? It was just finished earlier.”
“Ooo. How did it go?”
“Good, everything is smooth.”
“But your face looks moody.”
“There are a few things that happened.”
“What is it?”
“Our client from Niskala, she says she likes me.”
“Then?”
“Then I rejected it, I said there was already someone I liked.”
“So.”
“Then our client from Radhika Group.”
“She likes you too?”
“No. His face is quite disturbing to me.”
“What's with his face?”
“His face is exactly the same as yours.”
“With me?”
“Except appearance and attitude, you guys really look the same.”
“Then what's the problem?”
“The problem is...”
TING TONG'S
“Cal.. Calya!”
“Yes for Qeiza!”
