While heard the sound of the waves crash into the crag, an old man sat and looked

at the
night sky. Joshua, while asked the sky to return his lost daughter. Almost 5 years have
passed since the loss of his daughter. Suddenly he saw a bright light in the sky, a
shooting star. He immediately clenched his fists and asked for evidence to find his
daughter. However, the light seemed to be getting closer and closer. Until he realized
the light was pointing at him.

He immediately ran away while heard a loud sound. Then he slowly approached it. It
was a robotic tube, with a semicircular head, two eyes, and a small screen under the
eyes. He was confused to see it, but he then took it home.

After plugging it into the mains, he saw the words 'system rebooting' on the small
screen. And when it hit to 100%, the robot suddenly turned on and looks like it was
scanning Joshua's face.

"What is this thing?"

Suddenly, the small screen showed a number, that was Joshua's phone number and the
record of the last call he made. How did this thing find out his phone number?. Then he
tried to find whatever the robot was carrying, and found some kind of manual book. He
read that this robot was a satellite tool in the form of an artificial intelligence robot. It
has an infinite memory that records all phone recordings made in the world, even the
robot could recognize a person through their voice.

He was surprised to see that, “Can you find someone by their phone number?”

In the other hand, the government assigned a search team to find the missing satellite.
They were looking for the last trace of the satellite. However, it couldn’t be found
immediately because the system and code to access was very difficult.

After heard the robot's command, Joshua entered his daughter's phone number. Then,
the robot showed his daughter's last call data at the subway station.

"Subway station? No way, she can't be there."

Until suddenly, the robot informed that the last active call was made by Gia, his
daughter, in September 2017. Turned out, the call was made by Gia with a friend at her
college.
Joshua immediately went to meet his daughter’s friend to ask about Gia. His daughter's
friend told him that Gia really wanted to be a singer. But she said, that her father was
really against her dream. Until they got into a big fight.

Her friend also gave him a diary and a cassette which contained a song by Gia for
Joshua. The cassette he had always refused to listen to. Now he cried while hold the
tape as he remembered his daughter. He feels guilty for what he did. He shouldn't have
fought and left Gia alone at the subway at that time.

The search team that has managed to track down the robot, immediately rushed to find
it. They saw Joshua walked with the robot and immediately caught him. Joshua said that
he needed the robot to find his daughter. But what power he had, the search team
immediately grab the robot.

During all the commotion, the robot spoke again and was about to give the last message
Gia sent. Joshua intended to listen to it. But it was too late, the search team had already
deactivated the robot and went to take it.

At home, Joshua was pensive, thinking about what his daughter's last message was. He
planed to take the robot back. He remembered the address of the robot's founding
company, which was written in the manual he found earlier, and rushed over there.

Realized there were many security devices there, he disguises himself became a cleaner
service. He slipped slowly until he found the room where the robot was. There was no
one there, he slowly brought the robot out. But accidentally, he pressed a button on the
robot and turned on the sensor.

The security guard who found out, immediately chased after him. Joshua took the robot
away as quickly as possible, followed by the search team's car.

“Please tell me, what was the last thing she said?!”

The further he drove, without realizing he had arrived at the beach cliff where he found
the robot for the first time. He got out of his car and ran to the edge of the cliff.

"Let me listen one last time, or I'll drop this thing to the water!"
When the wind blew very hard, suddenly the robot played a voice message, that Joshua
haven’t heard before.

“Why aren't you answering my phone dad? Are you still mad at me? How is it, I'm
stuck in the subway, looks like there's a big fire going on. I'm sorry dad, I never really
hate you. I know you are always trying to protect me, but I also want to show that I can
achieve my own desires. I'm sorry if I let you down."

Joshua burst into tears hearing that. All this time, he had always opposed people's words
that said Gia had passed away. His guilt kept piling up, made him desperately searched
for Gia's whereabouts. He sat limply and put the robot down. The search team
immediately took it and Joshua was arrested for stealing valuable state treasures. But he
didn't regret doing that. Because at least he no longer lived in the darkness and guilt of
losing Gia.
