LOVATY 1.0
Arion K's. Radhika
“Arion Keanu Radhika.”
“Single son Darta Radhika.”
“He's the heir to Radhika Group right?”
All my life, I've been used to hearing those words. L like it. Me, my father's only son. Owner of Radhika Group which is one of the largest companies in the country. I live well. I have parents who love each other and they love me a lot. I happy.
“Isn't it unfair if he has everything!”
“Yes he is handsome, good in sports and also in lessons!”
“If he has everything, then what about people like us?”
“Once, the earth is spinning. Maybe his life will change.”
“Basic! You swear it?”
“Not really. Do you not want your life to change?”
“Of course I want!”
It was like a curse to me. Like they say, my life has changed.
That day I was picked up by the driver before school ended. They said my mother was in the hospital and was being critical. I ran as soon as the car stopped in front of the hospital entrance. Run, run as fast as you can. As soon as I arrived, the room was filled with doctors and hospital nurses.
I looked at his face one by one, they looked gloomy. I walked back, trying to get past those guys. After I managed to see the hospital bed, On it was a body covered with a blanket.
“Where is my mother?” I asked them, but they just looked at me.
I asked once again, this time with a higher tone of voice. Then a doctor approached the bed. He opened the blanket that covered the body. I saw my mother's face. Pale and closed. I approached.
“Mother... Wake up.. It's me Keanu.”.
“Mother. Doctor why is my mom quiet?”
“Your mother no longer exists.”
“Why? Why are you talking like that! My mom is still there!”
“Sorry young master.”
“Quick pull again your words. Fast!”
Only silence I got.”
“Ibuku is still there.. My mother still exists! Father...”
I looked at my father who was standing on the other side of the bed. I wished he had answered me, but he stepped out of the room instead. At that time, I lost my parents.
After my mother died there was no more warmth at home. Every day my father was busy working while I was at home waiting for his explanation. We almost never met, even just to eat one table. It's always me alone, and it's been for years.
One day I saw my father sitting in a cafe. He came out of the restaurant across the street with a young woman, they both got into the car leaving. The sight I saw shocked me, but I was still able to control my thoughts. I know my father, he loves my mother very much.
A few days later I saw her again, coming out with a different woman than before. This time the curiosity had taken hold of me, so I followed them in a taxi. My dad's car stopped at a hotel, I saw both of them coming down. No, that's not what surprised me, but the smile on my father's face as the woman wrapped her arms around him.
I couldn't see him, I never had a chance. But I'm very unlucky because I always witnessed her being with a different woman. By then I realized he had forgotten my mother. She lived her life well without my mother. She's happy.
After that I thought, I was so stupid all this time. Worse, waiting for my father to see me, hoping we would share our grief together. I was wasting my time. He first rose into his life without even thinking about me.
From then on, I started to live my life. No, actually since then I've been making a new life. Not as Keanu, a man whose life is loving. But Arion's a man looking for fun.

“For a long time no see,” said Arion to a man.
“Of course. You must have been busy with your troubled program. Did you find a way to fix it? If it's not possible I'll be a little kind to help you, as long as you beg.”
“Do not joke. Since when did an Arion offer help. I know you're laughing at me right now.”
“Of course! This is an opportunity I never got while in college, I have to use it well.”
“Don't mind me and just keep playing women like you do. Isn't that more fun for you?”
“Of course, I'm a guy who can enjoy life. Offense! Of course a hardworking guy like you is good too, but that's not my style.”
“You and your philosophy of life will not understand my work. It's gone, you just ruined the view!”
“Casual, you are free to use your time. I go first.”
Arion walks out of the cafe to his car. Stepping on the gas pedal, steering the four-wheeled vehicle toward his office. He walked casually towards his study, smiling at the few employees who greeted him. As soon as he walked into his study, the man checked his phone. Got a notification of an incoming message there he immediately opened it.
^^^‘Have you spoken to Calya about your matchmaking? I hope you don't do anything weird, or dad himself will step in.’^^^
Arion was stunned after reading a message from his father. His brain again twisted the clear words of the woman who firmly rejected this matchmaking. The man now leaned back, his feet pushing against the floor until his body spun along with the chair. While his brain thought of a way.
His feet again touched the floor, stopping a twist he created himself. His body leaned towards the table while his hand pressed a button on the table.
“Nona Jia, please make an appointment with Mr. Ray from Niskala.”
“Good Sir,” replied the woman of the tool.

“Hai, Ray! Sorry I interrupted your time.”
“No problem, I happen to be near here. Tumben once you ask for a sudden meeting, does anything matter?”
“Yes, important but not urgent. It's about our project.”
“Oke, then?”
“I want to extend this cooperation. We will continue to develop this game and every update will remain based on your existing products or those that will be released. But of course if you guys are willing.”
“Of course. I think there is no reason to refuse, this cooperation is very interesting for us.”
“Thank God then.”
“But the game you launched seems to be very successful, the proof is that you are busy planning an update when the game was not released long ago.”
“Yes if I can be a little arrogant, the number of users until now continues to increase while trending topics on social media managed to shift LOVATY.”
“How good! The program is very famous, right? Meaning your game is more popular nowadays.”
“Maybe I should be a little grateful about the controversy they're having. But, isn't there always competition in business?”
“True, provided it's healthy competition. That's legitimate - just legit.”
“I myself am very competitive, especially in terms of what I want. How are you?”
“I? Maybe I'm pretty competitive.”
“Then how about we compete in a healthy way?”
“We compete healthy? For what?”
“To get Calya.”
