Chapter 25
Over the next few months, Berliana and Victor's relationship also went well. In fact, since the relative's project was nearing success, they also spent a lot of time together, which impressed Berliana as she had previously felt uncomfortable with the robot activating without her prompting.
"You look busy," the robot said as it looked at Berliana's face.
Meanwhile, the woman seemed to be pacing back and forth as if preparing and taking care of something.
"Yes, after a few months, the 20 robots will finally start testing so I'm just waiting to go out in the field. After that, the president will invite me to dinner so I naturally have to attend since this is also the first dinner after we had an important meeting a few months ago."
The enhanced robot Victor nodded. "There are already some people and your coworkers who know that I exist. Don't you intend to show others including the president you're meeting?" he asked, making Berliana turn to look at him. "I want to come too."
Berliana realized that the closer they got, the more possessive Victor became and sometimes showed his jealousy directly if she was close to another man. All of that was taken out of Berliana but as long as it didn't do any harm it didn't matter, sometimes Victor also helped her with small matters.
"I don't know what to introduce you as. Is it as a boyfriend like what you want."
"You can if you want."
Berliana sighed softly and shook her head. "Now is not the time to joke like that, I can't take you to meet the bigwigs of this country in a playful way. Even though robots will be replacing some of the population in our country, that doesn't mean I'm going to make you my girlfriend in front of people. Because if they find out they can criticize me, including my invisible enemies," she said making Victor silent.
"I'm not unwilling to take you out, I just don't want things to get messy. Now is not a stable time, I need to ensure the overall situation. People are still trying to find fault with me, I don't want anything to go wrong. You understand, later when everything is stable and robots can walk side by side with humans then I will often take you out. At that time I won't have as much work as now, so I'll be more free."
"Okay." Knowing that Berliana was persuading him, Victor finally sighed. "I'll wait for you to come home."
Berliana smiled and went back to tidying up her things. She didn't have time to persuade the man who was a robot because as a robot Victor also admitted that he never had any feelings other than wanting to accompany and take care of Berliana so that she could be lonely.
After finishing some preparations and tidying up the files, Berliana looked at Victor in the room.
"I'm going out now, take good care of the house. After I come back and finish everything, we'll watch and have fun."
Victor smiled and nodded, he walked over and hugged Berliana like a normal human being. They were very close and hugged each other like this several times. Berliana even shared a bed with him because every night they talked about things about life.
Since Victor arrived Berliana felt that her life had also changed, which used to be so scary she felt that her life was getting better. She feels better now and can also get what she wants.
"Listen to one thing, maybe there are people who don't like you but I will always try and always support you. If you are tired, you can tell me if you need support because I am your friend and the only person who will always care about you."
Berliana smiled, returned Victor's hug and nodded. "We've had a good time over the past few months and you've always been a joy to my heart. Until then, I hope you can please me and make me happy. Because you are the robot version of Victor and you are still the best Victor."
Robot Victor smiled, nodding as well. After hugging each other, they smiled at each other before Berliana finally looked at Victor's face with a serious look.
"In the future, robots will become normalized and commonplace for people to see out there. I'll take you out with confidence. We'll take a vacation to all the places we haven't been. I promise, I'll make it all mean what I've wanted for so long." Berliana said making Robot Victor smile.
"Okay."
After saying that, Berliana smiled and walked out of the room. Victor followed her, saw her smiling again and left the house. They were separated here and it was enough to make him not dare to go out because there were many people and he had promised not to riot. Berliana cared about her life, she also didn't want to cause trouble.
"Everything is going well, it's just that there is something that Miss Berliana's enemies are working on. But not now but maybe later. I'm currently trying to further confirm what exactly they want to do."
Victor paused at the sound before sighing. "Make sure everything goes well."
"Okay."
"Find whatever it is, so that it can become evidence and I can settle things for Berliana."
"Of course, I'm not leaving here until she actually puts down what she's been working for."
Victor sighed, he knew it wasn't going to be easy but he also knew it would be better to keep it a secret from Berliana since he felt he could do it all on his own.
***
The test run went well and Berliana could see the faces of the robots that she and the workers had spent the last few months creating. They had finally arrived here, even though it was only a test run and hundreds of other robots were in the process of being built but at least 20 robots had been brought out and would soon be put to use.
"Everything is going well because of her merit and what she has worked for over the years. We feel very proud and happy to be in this process and everything is going well. So far there have been no significant problems but hopefully there really won't be and that will make it all worthwhile."
Berliana smiled and nodded. "Let's hope there aren't any, I really hope this can all be a good thing. If I can make things really go according to the government's wishes then that makes me feel happy too. The responsibility I've held for so many years is also finished and that's a great relief."
The professors smiled happily. They gazed at the robots that were lined up neatly with various faces but had been scanned so that they could not escape their control and attention.
A good scanning device had been created and made everything easy to deal with. Berliana was truly a young professor who was so capable, she could create something that could help all sorts of things and that made them feel relieved.
"After this, will there be further development?"
"The development will continue as long as we still use the robot. Just like something that we still use today, cell phones for one, every year will always open and release the latest and best series. Likewise, with this robot now we will turn it off to develop and run well. I can clearly see that everything is good now.
"Living in the modern world of technology allows me to incorporate features now so it won't be so old-fashioned. We've almost achieved what we wanted and these things still need to be made clearer. We're breaking up something that will make things better and we'll learn how to do that slowly. The longer the better, let's see how the performance we will discuss in the future will be."
The professors nodded, agreeing with what he said because it was true that it would be important. After this there would be a lot of business they would do, process after process to make things better and there would be no mistakes.
Berliana was also ready to take responsibility because now the twenty robots were in the process of being tested so she had to be ready for all kinds of criticism and suggestions.
