Chapter 27

Berliana smiled at the card in her hand as she traveled home. The president gave it to her with the words of being able to squeeze and stop anyone who was not worthy and he deliberately used some words that pointed out people directly.

"Jeff and the heads of those organizations are completely useless. During the time of making human robots they contributed absolutely nothing. I have to discuss serious matters with them. Even though they don't have any expertise in robot affairs, they can't just stand by and earn a good name by making things easier and enjoying other people's results." Berliana muttered under her breath.

The mayor wasn't going to make a big deal out of this and get her in trouble because he had the backing of the president himself. Just by staying calm and carrying out tasks in accordance with her authority then sooner or later she will make those people realize the abilities they have.

She had to clean up the people that the president couldn't clean up just because of a favor. Berliana knew from the president's attitude that he was an honest and good person, deliberately not using people who had merit but did not have the qualifications to become officials or people with positions.

That method was actually very good for keeping the country stable because if you let people who do not have the ability to be in a high position then it is the same as destroying the country.

"I will carry out what the president asks, it will make him feel at ease."

"You came back with a happy face, is there something new you got?"

Berliana smiled as the robot Victor welcomed her back.

"The president made me a top-level supervisor in the office of research and technology, as well as personally recruiting me to be the minister who will oversee the technology that comes out of this country. That this country has produced some of the best technology over the years is obvious. The president also explicitly asked me to fire people who don't have the ability. You also know who doesn't have the ability, right? I'm very happy because the president is not blind, can't see clearly who is worthy and who is not. He is the best president," Berliana said, making the robot Victor smile softly.

"History tells us that he was also a good official when he was not yet president. His track record is clean and good and that makes him the most fortunate and suitable person to be the president of this country. The people also loved him because they saw his track record, because the country only had a few people so he won by a landslide from his opponent. In a country where the population is currently in crisis, it is certainly very easy to see and find who is suitable and appropriate to be the best president. It's just that evil people deliberately use cunning ways to make themselves powerful."

Berliana smiled and leaned her head on the shoulder of Victor who was sitting next to her.

"I hope this country can be better and won't lack anything. Now that the robots have also been launched, I feel at ease with all the developments. In the future, there is no need to supervise and create little by little developments that make this country more advanced, I can't wait to see this country return to the way it used to be with all kinds of things being done productively and old businesses also being revived with the help of robots and labor from abroad.

"If I look at it, since making robots there have been a lot of citizens migrating. If they can marry in this country and produce offspring then it will be even easier. This country will again become a productive country and the extinction of the people here will also fail. Hopefully none of that will happen because I hope the younger generation pays more attention to the country rather than those unproven fears. It's much more useful."

Victor was speechless. Even though he was a robot, he could do calculations and understand some thoughts like an ordinary human.

"You are also the younger generation, which means that one day you will have to marry and produce offspring. I can't do that with you because I'm a robot and you have to do it with another man," he said making Berliana look up at him.

It was true and Berliana couldn't answer, she knew that anything could happen and would happen. It wouldn't be impossible if one day someone would propose to her and marry her, because she was a girl and surely she would have to marry in order to prolong her offspring as a service to their underpopulated country.

"Never mind, there's no need to discuss it now. You as long as you are not married will remain mine and be my girlfriend, until that man comes and takes you you are mine and will never belong to anyone else. After all this is over I can understand that we both have difficulties and I understand that everything requires sacrifice. Victor was the one who left you first and caused you to suffer, to see him marry someone else is to repay him and that is his fault.

"You need to live well, no need to feel guilty about what is uncertain. Meeting a good man who will take care of you and love you forever is a good thing. You need to be happy and it will make him happy too. Don't think about anything and focus on your own life. Victor won't know who you're married to either, because he's dead. Everything about you has been cut off from him and you won't make him come back even if you don't get married."

Berliana wiped her tears and sighed. "I hope there's no big deal, you'll still be a friend even if one day I'm forced and forced by the universe to marry another man. I don't know how to express it but I'm hurt, I still can't forget you and I keep torturing myself with self-created memories. It's so bad that I'm torturing myself, it's really very frustrating for me," she said making Victor hug her.

Both of them couldn't say anything else because it was fate. He had no choice, they had no choice and had to live with it without resisting. If you think about it, destiny is a complicated thing. They were being played with in the cruelest way and it made them experience their own difficulties.

"Go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day."

Berliana sighed and nodded. Discussing this constantly would also hurt her heart so it was better for her to sleep. She didn't know what would happen in the future, because everything was still uncertain. Berlian just hoped that she didn't wear the thick pain and tears that she would feel again and again.

***

"You don't have to think about my pain because I'm no longer in the world either. You can marry whoever you want without thinking about me. Marry and be happy, you are a person who means a lot to me. You getting married has made me let go of my guilt. I love you but I hurt you, if you marry someone else then I will feel very happy."

Berliana cried at the sound of Victor's voice in her dream. "I still have to move on with my life."

"Right, therefore... Forget about me."
