That night, Sandra didn't go home. Tony invited her to dinner, even though the beautiful woman had rejected him subtly, but Rey—'s comrades-in-arms the late husband Sandra— insisted on treating her.
"Okay, we've arrived" said Tony who invited Sandra to a luxurious restaurant in District 1.
Sandra's mouth was open, It's been a long time since she celebrated her first wedding anniversary with Rey.
"My clothes don't deserve it, Tony."
Sandra was reluctant to get out of the car because she only wore a white blouse with arms up to her elbows, jeans, and boots at her feet. Sandra felt unworthy to enter the elite-class restaurant.
"Don't worry. I've booked a place that matches our appearance tonight. You didn't see? I'm wearing a uniform" he replied casually beside the door where Sandra was sitting.
The blond woman stepped on her left leg hesitantly. Tony pulled Sandra's wrist to climb the stairs to the main door of a building that had many white lights glowing like stars shining brightly on the surface.
"Welcome to White Star. Please verify yourself to check the reservation," said the robot receptionist whose body is supported by an iron from the roof of the room like a spider.
Tony gave me a barcode-printed wrist. The robot is a sideways rectangle, has two arms, ten fingers, and no legs.
His eyes, ears, and mouth appeared on the screen that became his body. A woman's voice sounded friendly, though it had been altered with a robot vocal cords.
Tony's wrist was scanned by the right index finger of the white robot's finger. And immediately, Tony's name and his identity appeared on the robot's face.
"Oh! Welcome, Captain Tony. Your reservation has been prepared. Enjoy your special dinner at White Star" said the robot, and the screen featuring Tony's identity changed with a digital face with a robotic smile.
The floor where Tony stood was white instantly. A golden color line appears under Tony's feet as it gives clues as to where he should go. The light was lit up like a stream of water.
Sandra looked amazed because she had never seen anything like it before. Tony invites Sandra to follow the golden light line. The light carried him up the stairs.
In the end, they arrived at a balcony overgrown with red roses blooming beautifully.
Sandra looked amazed because the place was so beautiful. A candle made of an imitation, lit with fire never goes out. The fire is a lamp with a moving light mimicking a small flame.
Smiling Sandra, she did not expect to be able to feel the Candle Right Dinner after several years.
The impression of a romantic dinner like this he felt when Rey proposed to him first, but not at a fancy restaurant, but at his flats and Rey prepared it herself.
Tony pulls out a chair for his dinner buddy in the old-fashioned way. Sandra knows that Tony loves the classic style when they live in modern times and almost everything is automated.
"How, not bad, right? Up here deserted. I asked for a location away from people in fancy clothes. Because honestly, Sandra, I don't have an exclusive suit like that" he whispered with both hands he put on the table.
Sandra chuckles. He didn't expect Tony to be honest about things he didn't need to say. But he thinks similarly.
"I'm the same. I don't have an expensive dress to wear. Even if you take me home and ask me to change clothes, I'll still dress up like this" Sandra whispered.
The two men chuckled. They feel like they're a bully in Great Ruler's classy neighborhood.
Until finally, some robot waitress appeared while carrying a tray containing a lot of food covered with a shiny iron shell shaped and has a beautiful carving of roses decorate it.
The closed dish was placed on a table with wine poured into a crystal glass by one of the robots with two hands and fingers. Sandra smiled and thanked me.
The robot waitresses as high as the chest of an adult human who has hands like a board and legs two wheels, rectangular white body with a face in the form of a round monitor screen, go leave Sandra and Tony's place to enjoy dinner.
"Well, at least, with these meals, I've done my job" Tony said with a breath as he opened the dessert in front of him.
"Your job?" sandra asked confusedly with a frown.
"Yes. I've bet on Rey before. Don't get mad, this .. bet was made when we were single first," he answered looking amazed at the big lobster on his plate, Sandra was surprised.
"Okay, I'm not mad, I wonder. Tell me," he asked to open the dessert and find the same menu even though the look of his lobster and Tony is different.
The two humans looked impatient to eat a lobster whose shell had been broken and saw soft flesh on the cracks.
Quickly, Tony picked up a chopstick and took the white meat behind the reddish skin layer of the lobster while gulping.
Sandra chuckled and nodded. Somehow, he was not awkward when with Tony. He felt Tony could always comfort him with his relaxed attitude in uncovering things.
Sandra was also unable to resist the temptation of the appetizing dish. The shape of his lobster is made like a sturdy archway. It made him think of the entrance of District 2-Sentra Video Games.
Sandra and Tony ate their dinner with praise every time their mouths were fed by the delicious taste of the meat of the aquatic animals.
Both focus on enjoying the big shrimp. Sandra and Tony were unable to even use their hands when picking lobster shells with both hands, although they were embarrassed to see.
"Your choice is right to ask for this place, Tony. I'm like a cannibal" he said, raising the lobster's head in both hands.
Tony laughed and made no comment. He continued eating until the dish was only left with shells, including Sandra.
Both of them look so satisfied and can only laugh when they see their behavior like humans who never eat well.
"Oh, I'm pregnant, Tony. My stomach is distended" said Sandra pointing at her stomach and Tony chuckling.
Tony stared at Sandra intently as the beautiful woman gulped down her wine and behavior like a drunk.
"Okay, we're home, it's night," he asked as he grabbed Sandra's hand on the table.
Sandra nodded even though she looked like a dazed person. Tony grabbed her waist and Sandra smiled. Tony immediately took Sandra into the car and sat down on the bench next to him driving.
The dinner bill was automatically debited to the account when Tony made the reservation. All payments have been made at the beginning, but not all restaurants implement a payment system like this. White Star is one of the 5-star luxury restaurants and refunds do not apply here.
Tony immediately brought Sandra back to the apartment. He used a barcode on the beautiful woman's wrist to open the door. Rey's assistant immediately invited her employer and guests inside.
All the lights in the room are bright. Tony pushed Sandra into the room and laid her down. Tony looks tired and sits beside the bed while wiping the sweat using a tissue available on the bedside table.
"Thank you for dinner, Tony. Good nite," said Sandra drunk with her eyes closed and a sweet smile at the end of the sentence.
Tony smiles. He looked at Sandra who closed her eyes with a smile. Slowly, Tony drew his face closer and looked doubtful as he kissed the beautiful woman's forehead.
Suddenly, Tony immediately went up and stood up as if he was aware of his attitude. He rubbed his mouth as if he had realized something. He quickly got out of the room and left Sandra's house.
Tony rushed back to his house and was seen, Eliz put on a sour face to welcome his return.
"You're ugly, don't make it any worse" said Tony, taking off his clothes one by one.
The laundry robot came over and opened its belly which was circular like a washing machine door.
"Where are you from? I called you over and over again and you didn't pick up" grumbled Eliz with a grim face.
"I was just walking around. Can't it?" he replied, putting his clothes in the mouth of the robot. However, Eliz looked like he was in disbelief and continued to stare at his sharp brother full of probes. "OK, okay. I'm picking up Sandra. I'm taking her to dinner. Satisfied?"
Eliz's mouth was open wide. Tony who only wears ce*ana in it walks towards the bathroom leaving his sister just like that.
"Wait, what? Wh why? Don't tell me you're planning to replace Rey," asked Eliz holding her brother's hand tightly.
Tony paused his steps and turned his head towards his younger sister with a strange look. "Do you want me to marry her?" Eliz shook his head quickly. "Hem, good, because I don't have such a plan either. I think of Sandra as you, little sister. So, take your hand off or do you want to rub my back?"
Eliz hissed and immediately released his grip. Tony smiled broadly and walked back up.
Eliz was upset and kicked Tony's ass strong. Practically, Tony instantly flipped over his body and pointed at it with a ferocious face. Eliz escaped immediately.
"Eh, hey, wait!" call Tony and immediately, Eliz braked his legs. The beautiful woman looked over with an innocent face.
"I asked Sandra to accompany you to find a location for your restaurant business later. I've bribed him with a fancy dinner. So, make sure the money I spend later is worth your fast food effort!" tony pointed at him and Eliz leaped cheerfully.
Tony exhaled slowly and walked back to the bathroom to clean himself up. Eliz seemed so excited and impatient to wait for tomorrow to realize his dream to have a restaurant business.
