LOVATY 1.0
Assumptions
Arion sits on a park bench not far from the apartment Calya is in. His blank gaze described the drowning he had in his mind. Not paying attention to anything around him, including cold weather that is quite disturbing some people there.
“Arrgghh!” the man suddenly shouted as someone touched the wound near his eyes. The man who had been sitting there daydreaming until he was unaware of the arrival of Calya. The woman came with a first aid kit and treated Arion's face with a wound that caused him to scream in pain.
“If you want to fight at least you should be able to endure the pain. Don't be so whiny!” said Calya who was upset that Arion kept shouting as she landed a hand on the man's face.
“Shouting it is a way to reduce pain. You didn't know? Research has proven that if we shout.”
“If you keep yelling it will make my ears hurt, so you just do it yourself,” Calya thrusting the medicine in her hand. Realizing that Arion then threw away his face, “I will not scream,” he said.
Calya went back to help the man heal his wounds and the man tried to endure the pain. But because he constantly felt sick, the man became upset. “If you want to help at least do it gently!” Calya grumpily, “you should be grateful someone wants to help you!”
Both were silent for a moment. Calya continues to treat Arion's wounds, which are now lost in thought. “I go,” Calya packing her medicine box. The woman was about to move before Arion held her hand.
“I'm done treating your wounds, then what else?”
“Shouldn't you ask. Why would I get hurt? How could I be hurt? Or who did this to me?”
“It's not clear you're hurt by fighting. Why and who does it I don't care.”
Arion releases Calya's hand, “basic heartless woman, go!”
Calya rolled her eyeballs in frustration, “ok, tell me. Don't try to do something weird, just tell me!” finally the woman sat back on the bench, listening to the whole story from the man's mouth.
“Then? What's wrong with his words? I don't understand why you should be offended by those words? Unless the words are true.”
“Why are you defending him?”
“Do you expect me to defend you and abuse him? I don't even know which one of you is right.”
“You will regret if you know the truth.”
“Maybe. Maybe you will regret it too. Do you really know the truth?”

7.20 A.m., Calya just got off the elevator. The woman in the light blue suit walked leisurely towards the parking lot. Pressing the remote to unlock in the car. But when his hand had reached the doorknob, a hand holding the motion of the half-opened car door made it back closed. Calya sighed Arion's figure had now been leaning against the car door, blocking the woman from getting in there.
“You what?” asked Calya ketus, half of her was lazy to serve the attitude of the conglomerate's children. “Cute with me now!” arion's orders. “Stop talking nonsense and step aside, I can be late to the office”.
Calya again reaches for the door, and Arion again stops her. The man clasped Calya's hand to take her walking away from the car. Calya fights back, trying to let go of the man's grasp, until the man stops his steps. “Listen! I don't have time for your crazy plans. I have to work!” The man approached, “I have no crazy plans and anyway this is your job for today.”
“You're crazy!” calya shouted in Arion's oncoming car. “Down your voice, I am not deaf,” Arion rubbed his ears. “How could you lie to someone in the office about a sudden meeting?” Calya couldn't understand the man's arbitrary actions.
“This is not entirely a lie. After all, our company has indeed agreed to continue cooperation for the continued promotion of the Game. Let's just say we're talking about a new promotional idea.”
“You just make it, I will definitely agree whatever your idea is!”
Calya sighed, trying to temper her near-exploding anger. The woman tried to save her energy by choosing to stay still as long as the car drove. Maybe he has given up or is trying to set a plan.
“What do you want to do in this place,” asked the woman when Arion's car started to stop in an apartment building. Arion casually walked out of the car and opened the car door for the woman. Inviting Calya to get out of the car that is only answered with a cold gaze.
“You come with me out or locked in the car?” threatening Arion who was getting impatient. Calya is forced to follow in the footsteps of the man who will somehow take her where. The two men walked past the luxury apartment complex until they reached a park. It then stopped under a large tree, more precisely hiding.
Several times Calya tried to ask about what they were really doing, Arion repeatedly told her to be quiet. The man was busy peering behind the tree as if he was observing something. Calya who was already curious finally followed what the man was doing.
“You saw the man?” arion said referring to a man sitting on a park bench not far from where they were. Calya watched him, a little surprised to see him wearing ARGlassess like his. The focus of the woman is now fully directed towards there.
“The strange man who was talking to himself was the one who created LOVATY.”
Calya who was quite surprised spontaneously looked towards Arion. The man then went back to talking, “dia created it after going crazy for being left behind by her boyfriend.”
“You're kidding! No one ever knew who the creator of LOVATY was, not a single person.”
“Yes, except two people. Me and our professor,” said Arion calmly. Convinced that all his words were facts.
The two men completed their reconnaissance and returned to the car. In the car Arion keeps talking about how strange the man was when they both went to college. Lonely, quiet and obsessed with computers. But Arion realized that all his words were completely ignored by Calya. The woman is busy with her own thoughts.
Do I look like that when I use LOVATY? The man looked sad and happy at the same time. Am I like that or worse? All sorts of questions came to the woman's mind. One and the other because they feel they are both the same.
“That madman is now driving everyone crazy with his creation.”
That one sentence instantly restored Calya's consciousness. “What?” the woman asked back the actual sentence she heard very clearly. “You don't know many people go crazy after using LOVATY, it's all because of that crazy guy.”
“Why do you keep calling him a crazy man?”
“Then should I call him a genius? He was just a broken man who was frustrated because his girlfriend was left behind. He should have just found another woman, not just one woman. But he instead made a virtual program with his girlfriend's face, crazy bastard!”
“That's what you think?” calya asked in disbelief at the words she had just heard. Arion proudly assented. “I didn't know that you were a petty person.”
Arion looked at him in shock. “What? You pity that guy?” Calya sighed trying to hold back her anger. “Which he created does cause problems, but it has also helped many people out there. You don't even know the reason he created LOVATY.”
“I told you the reason, if..”.
“I'm sure you don't know very well. You guys aren't even friends, are you? That means everything you said was just your assumptions. Conclude something without trying to figure out the truth, unbelievable.”
Arion was silent and focused on driving his car. Until finally the car stopped not far from a hotel. The view leads to the entrance of the hotel. “Now tell me, do you think I would have mistakenly assumed about this?”
Calya was confused by the meaning of the question until she followed the direction of the man beside her and was shocked. The figure of the man and woman who had just gotten out of the car made him speechless.
