Are you Happy,Harrel?
It's....freezing....
I can't move....
I'm....scared....
Please....
....somebody....
....anybody....
....please help....
That morning,I woke up,feeling drained as if I didn't sleep at all,I didn't anyway.Just right in time before my alarm exploded,I saw "Mrs.Carter" calling on my phone.That is my mom.I didn't want to answer but I also don't want her to send her retainers to investigate why.
Mrs. Carter:
Good morning Linc♥
Linc:
...mom...you no longer have to do this every morning, I'm not a baby anymore, I'm turning adult!
Mrs. Carter:
Aaaand how's my baby's sleep?
Linc:
Paralyzed?near death-experience?
Mrs. Carter:
Huh..what!? what were your maid doing those times...? don't tell me you....
Linc:
I didn't fire her,mom.She left on her own.
Mrs. Carter:
Lincoln!this is like the ninth time a maid retired because they can't handle your attitude!
Linc:
Not this again mom,plus who even brings a maid in their apartment during highschool?That just looks so lame,like I said, I'm no longer a baby!
Mrs. Carter:
I could've purchased an entire flat for you if only you've agreed.
Linc:
I disagreed because I want to experience student life and stay on low status, standing out as a billionaire isn't easy.
Mrs. Carter:
You're well aware that you need a maid.
Linc:
I don't need them mom,I won't die, don't worry,and I'm late for school,I need to go.
I hung up the call,ofcourse my mom tried to call again but I just let them miss,she knows I'm alive, that's enough.
Can money buy everything? as a billionaire teen myself,my answer is clear.
this year is my last year on senior highschool, I'm graduating without any interest for college.
It has been a long time in school and yet I still haven't made any friend? I'm always excluded,unwanted,bullied,I wonder why I get so much attention from haters! I guess that's how a loser lives?
Beside all that, I'm suffering from Parkinson's Disease,which is still far from killing me but close to convincing me to kill myself, it's just annoying when it attacks you in the middle of the road with no friends to help.Billionaire,yet can't buy a cure which is not yet available.
I'm almost on school when I received a message from mom.
"If maids can't handle you, then I'll get you an Android.It's kind of a new technology which lets you have a humanoid robot to work as maids,still in development so be happy being one of the first testers♥"
I paused for a moment,trying to process what is just going on.
...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
An Android? That's just the worst.
Synthetic humanoid figures imitating humans are just something straight out of a horror movie.It's creepy,so unnatural, so disturbing.What if that robot malfunctions and murders me while I sleep?
I dialed mom on the phone.This madness MUST BE STOPPED before it starts...
She isn't answering...
Seriously mom?gonna leave you sick son handle murder-capable machine that's even still under development?how cruel!
I had in mind that she might be just threatening me so I'll treat the next maids better way,and there's no way my mother will be that stupid so I just shruged it off and continued.
The school ended and it's almost sunset.I hate spending sunsets outside,it just doesn't feel safe at all after the sun is gone, especially for people under disability like me who has no one to rely on if things went out if control.
My apartment in nearby.I can see it from the distance.
...
Just suddenly I had my palm grabbing on my face.There's a giant box about my height on my front door.That should be it,mom indeed bought me an Android.
I walked close to it.....
There's not even a damn wheel under that giant box,how am I supposed to bring this thing inside.
With whatever is left of my strength,I pushed,pulled and shoved the box in my cramped apartment,I couldn't even properly fit myself in properly after I let the box in first before me, it's blocking my tiny doorway!
I carefully opened it,making sure I won't damage anything fragile inside.
Inside was containing what resembles to be a female,humanoid robot.
what's this...?why female...?
AND WHY THE HELL IS SHE NAKED!?
Mom sure she didn't send me a s*x bot?
I don't like this..... harassment.... atrocity....
Oh well,from the instructions said,this robot is activated and shut down with a certain same voice command,followed by its name to confirm.The name is written on the first page of the manual.
Hmmm....
Awkwardly I spoke.
"Are you happy,Harrel...?"
Her eyes opened wide as if curious,revealing a porcelain, lavender eyes.With a calm,feminine voice,she replied.
"Yes."
