...After 2 hours...

Narik: Finally I got the bug out of it!(says with relief)

Moon: Is it?

Employee 1: But do you know who could've hacked it?

Employee 2: And did they steal any data?

Narik: Stop! Ask one by one! Honestly saying they didn't steal any of the data.

Employee 2: How?

Narik: How? Because I didn't put any important data in the program.

Employee 2: Why do we not know that? So where is the data?

Moon: Hey! Why are you so curious about where the important data is kept?

Employee 2: I--

Moon: Shut up!

Narik: But moon is right? Why are you more curious than anyone else. And I haven't yet found out who could've stolen the data! I can't get the information.

And when I finally saw you. I ignored you, pretended to not know you…

I'm really sorry. I really have loved you more than I hated you.... You're the love of my life, but I lost you....

(starts crying with more sobbing)
