LOVATY 1.0
It can be

I'll pick you up at 10.

Qeiza sighed. Unlike usual always planning an agenda that he wants to do every weekend, today he prefers to sleep. Maybe Calya's virus is getting on her or maybe it's Damian who's taking her away. Qeiza was still lying on her bed, intending to re-wrap herself in a blanket. Then while recalling his mission to find evidence of the man's infidelity, his spirit re-emerges. Let's end this relationship soon, he thought.

Damian picked up the woman at exactly 10 as he said. The two went by car to a place that only the man knew. His car drove so far it almost left the city. Qeiza who was starting to get curious finally asked their purpose. “Meet special people,” replied the man later.

A few minutes later, Damian stopped the car. Open the car door for the woman and take her for a walk. Tracing the green lawn, heading to a house on the edge of the city that is clearly visible from where they parked the car. 

Qeiza was stunned, looking at the surrounding scenery that was so beautiful. The tall trees around the colorful flowers were neatly arranged, very pampering to the eyes, making him forget to ask their current location. When he was about to ask her a pair of elderly men and women came out from inside the house. Qeiza felt confused, but remained polite, greeting the friendly couple. 

The couple treated her very well and she continued to praise Qeiza. They engaged in a conversation without pause to leave no time for Qeiza to think about anything else.

The couple advised Damian to take Qeiza around the house after finding out the woman was fascinated by the scenery here. While the couple was about to prepare lunch, Damian and Qeiza were leisurely walking around the house. Qeiza did his hobby, taking pictures with the background of the scenery there. While Damian who was accompanying her only silently watched the woman's cheerful face.

“Grandpa and Grandma!” said Qeiza who was surprised when obeying the identity of the couple owner of this house. He felt foolish not to ask her from the beginning. Then feel deceived because the man did not tell him first. “I think I told you already,” the man dodged the moment Qeiza piqueed at him this time. “Grandpa and grandma keep asking me to take you, that's why I took you today.”

Grandfather's voice rang out from inside the house calling the two of them back in. The two of them immediately walked towards the house with Qeiza trying to forget her current sense of unease. The annoyance instantly faded when he saw the dishes that had been served at the dining table. So many delicious dishes to make it stupefied.

The four people enjoyed lunch while occasionally chatting. Grandpa and Grandma Damian were so interested in Qeiza's personal life that she kept asking him questions. Qeiza also did not look disturbed, the woman cheerfully explained about her family. Her father's job, brother's also her sister's husband. The mother, sister and also the wife of her brother. And the behavior of his six nephews. Like layers of onions, each story is spliced with another story.

Grandma seemed to be envious of the story of the Qeiza family, heard from her way of speaking that presupposes having many family members like that as well. From that conversation, Qeiza learns that Damian has no parents. Both of his parents died in a plane crash. Leaving him with his grandparents, the only remaining family member.

That's why Damian loves his grandparents so much. Until now he stayed in the house with them even though it took a long time for him to go back to the office. But she never minded, she wanted to take care of the two people who had taken care of, raised and educated her since childhood.

The dishes had been eaten, Qeiza swiftly stood up and cleaned all the dishes on the table. Grandma forbade him to wash all dirty dishes, but he insisted. Qeiza said in her house everyone has their own responsibilities on homework and part is washing dishes, because she can't cook. Qeiza also added that washing dishes was already her specialty. So grandma does not need to worry because she will be careful and do well. The woman also advised them to sit back in the backyard while she was doing the dishes, assuring them that she would catch up after completing her task.

Damian led his grandparents to the gazebo in the backyard. Letting the two sit back while he returned inside the house to help Qeiza. The woman looked cool on the dirty dishes she was washing. Damian approached and touched Qeiza's shoulder due to her many times ignored calls. 

Qeiza reflexively threw the soap foam on the man's face as a result of feeling surprised when the man touched his body. The woman laughed as she looked at Damian's face which was now filled with soap foam. Laughter and loudness echoed in the room. He could not stop it, even though his heart felt guilty.

“Are you that happy to see my face filled with soap?” Instantly Qeiza's carefree laughter vanished. His body pecked, when his consciousness had returned intact. But he's not alone, Damian is. The man's body was glued in front of the woman in front of him. For a few moments let their eyes blend together, until the ringing of the cell phone breaks the silence.

Damian is talking to someone on the phone. Meanwhile, Qeiza again steals the remaining plates. “Why was I nervous earlier?” thought, “no.. no. it can be dangerous!”. The woman tries to take her mind off the negative things, finishing all the remaining dishwashing in a hurry.

When Damian ended his phone call, Qeiza had finished washing all the dishes. Before the man spoke, Qeiza first preceded him by asking where his grandparents were. Damian said that they were still sitting casually in the backyard gazebo. “You go first, accompany them. I'll follow after making teh”.

“What do you want to meet me?” Ask a man as a form of greeting. He sat down on an empty chair there. “Just want to make sure, maybe you did something extreme because you were too frustrated,” replied Ray who had been waiting for him at the cafe while sipping a glass of iced coffee.

“This child!” the man said, feeling annoyed because Ray who incidentally younger than him dared to mock him. “Until when will you call me that? I'm as big as you are now!” Ray couldn't take the man's call to him that never changed. It was as if he was a six-year-old boy that he still had to look after. “For me you are forever a child!”

“About your product.. LOVATY'S? What is it really like?” Ray finally expressed the purpose of the meeting that time. “What is this? Didn't you say you weren't interested?” the man doubts Ray's question which may have more meaning. “Can't you directly answer without asking back?”

“What is this really?” asked the man back, still clinging to his thoughts. “Nothing. Just answer it, or get out of here!” Ray was the same, clinging to his thoughts. He just needs answers, not questions. “Basic of this child!”

“A fruitful reality program that presents a virtual friend,” the man finally gives up and answers. “Virtual friends? Like friends exchanging messages on mobile?” Ray's trying to get more information. “You're so old-fashioned! Of course that appears in front of you, like a real person.” he replied in frustration. Ray's question just seemed to degrade the ability of his product. “Of course need a special tool to be able to see it, it is called ARGlasses.”

“So what is the function of this virtual friend? What's the advantage?” The man sighed with Ray's back-to-back questions. He had never explained his product to anyone before, and he hated it. But now even his own brother interrogated him. I don't know what he really wants.

“You know what, you better try it yourself or at least find thu on his website,” the frustration is clearly drawn on the man's face. He no longer has the spirit to answer Ray's questions that seem to never end. “Why should I do that if I can ask you directly.” The man got up from his seat, buttoned back the gray suit he was wearing, “I'm busy. Let me know if you need help with work problems or need money”.

“I also have money!” ray said with annoyance. But the man just smiled as he walked away. At least he could return the annoyance he felt earlier. Ray was sitting in his chair. He found out about LOVATY on his smart phone. Then stopped when he saw the picture of ARGlasses that his brother had talked about earlier. His brain was trying to remember something.

“I'm sure he used this yesterday,” he thought. Recalling the moment he accidentally met Calya in the park the other day. The woman picked up some items from the ground after she almost fell and one of them looked the same as the ARGlasses. “Did he also use LOVATY?” Ray tried to guess. Somehow he kept feeling curious about this from then on. “Do I also try it... No! Better find more information”.
