Love Is Because It's Ordinary

Koko's confession of love

Daisy has been discharged after being treated for five days. When he entered the apartment, he shed tears. He remembered all his memories while Akami was still in his womb. She remembers how happy she was when she found out she was pregnant. He remembered the nights he wanted to eat something, and his sense of happiness when he wanted it was granted. Daisy rubbed her stomach sadly.

"Dear, don't think too much. One day we'll have another Akami. Now rest!" said Juan. He sends Daisy to her room. After lunch, Juan gives Daisy the medicine and tells her to rest after taking the medicine.

Daisy becomes more reserved than usual, as though she still has not fully accepted reality. It is natural indeed, because it was her first experience of getting pregnant. Although she can still get pregnant again in the future, Daisy still feels sad. Daisy lay in her bed, she felt sleepy after taking the medicine and soon fell asleep.

Juan just finished washing the dishes, he went into the room and saw Daisy was asleep. Juan lifted the blanket and kissed his wife. He came out of the room and sat leaning on the sofa, waiting for Koko to deliver the file he had to sign.

For days now, Elis avoided talking to Koko. Although Koko still takes Elis, but they rarely chat in the car. Elis also always goes straight into the house, after getting off Koko's car when driven home. Now Elis never again told Koko to come in, to just drink coffee and chat with her.

Koko wants to tell her best friend, Juan. Seeing the condition of Daisy who is in need of Juan, makes Koko not feel good if she has to tell Juan. Koko daydreams in her room with her chin propped up by her hands on the table. When Herman came and walked into his room alone, Koko did not notice it at all.

"Dreaming?" ask Herman.

"Eh, Mr. Herman. When did you come in?" Koko asked Herman.

"I've knocked on the door 5 times and called you 3 times. You are silent not to answer, it is daydreaming!" god Herman. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Koko's desk.

"Sir Herman, may I confide in Mr. Herman?"

"Of course!"

" It's about Elis. I feel like lately Elis has changed, after he said something a week ago. He told me not to pay too much attention to him, or he could misunderstand."

"Do you like it?"

"It's not just like it but love it!" koko replied with embarrassment.

Koko is embarrassed because she refused when Herman wanted to bring her closer to Elis. Herman smiled happily at Koko's reply.

"If you like it, say it. The meaning of Elis' words is that he likes you, but because you never say like, so Elis is afraid if his love claps one hand. Express your feelings, I support you, son!" herman said he was supporting Koko.

Koko smiled widely after hearing the explanation from Herman. How stupid Koko who does not understand the meaning of Elis' words. Getting support from Herman makes Koko so excited. She wants to express her feelings for Elis after work.

"Thank you, Mr. Herman. You're like my late father. Every word you speak is really wise and soothing!" koko said sincerely.

"Take me as your father's replacement!" said Herman. He came out of Koko's room.

At 16:00 Koko called the florist shop to order a white rose bucket. Koko prefers white roses, because she thinks that white roses symbolize sincerity, and purity. Koko is not a florist who understands the meaning of flowers and their colors. All just according to his pre-public view.

He glanced at his watch many times, while checking the files that were piling up on his desk. The files were files Juan had to sign, because some days Juan hasn't been able to come to the office so they're piling up on Koko's desk. Juan tells Koko to check carefully and carefully so that there is no mistake, before being taken to Juan's apartment to be signed.

At 17:00 exactly, Koko's flower order arrived. Fortunately, it is not too late, because he intends to express his feelings in front of all office employees. Koko brings the flowers and goes to Elis's table.

Arriving at Elis' desk, Koko knelt on one knee on the floor next to Elis' chair. Elis, who was sitting, tidied up the files on his desk, stood up as Koko suddenly knelt.

"Mas, why kneel like that. Wake up, shame on me!" elis said slowly while looking around him. All the office staff who were walking to go home immediately stopped, they wanted to see the statement of love from Koko to Elis.

"Elis Silvia, I like you, love you and love you. Will you accept my feelings and be my last lover?" koko said loudly.

Prookk prokk prookk

"Terima .. ima ...," all the employees clapped and told Elis to accept Koko.

Elis does like Koko, but he realizes that he does not deserve Koko. She is a woman who has a child from rape. He doesn't want to make Koko embarrassed. Koko is a single man with a bright future. She is a single mother without status. Elis carries her bag, before leaving she answers Koko's love statement.

"I'm sorry, I can't, Mom!" Elis left Koko who was still kneeling on the floor.

All the employees disbanded for fear that Koko would feel ashamed of them, after her love was rejected. They left while whispering.

That speech sounded faintly in Koko's ear. He was sad, and lost his spirit. Herman saw it all, he approached Koko and gave her spirit.

"Hey love fighter, why are you kneeling here? The guy's gone, are you gonna let him just walk away?" ask Herman.

"Elis rejected me, sir!" answer Koko.

"And you'll just give up, not fight for your love. If Elis is my daughter, I don't want her to have a man like you by her side. Your love is so superficial, it won't even fight to get Elis just for one rejection."

Herman went to the parking lot and got into his car. He saw Elis waiting for a taxi. Herman wants to see if Koko will go after Elis. Herman didn't start the engine immediately and kept looking at Elis standing up. Koko chases after Elis and says what she said.

" Lis, what's your reason for rejecting me? Tell reason?" ask Koko.

"Mas, you can find another girl that suits you. I'm just a dirty woman who's been touched by another man, even had a child. Just throw away your feelings, Mom!" elis steps in to leave Koko, but Koko holds Elis's wrist.

"You've said everything. Now listen to what I'm saying. I don't care about your status, you've told me everything and I don't mind. I love Via too, so I ask once more. Do you want to accept me?" ask Koko. Elis slid into Koko's arms.

"I love you too, Mom!" elis replied sobbing in the chest of Koko's field. Koko smiles as it turns out that Elis also loves her.

Herman gets a call from his men and they wait in the cafe in front of an abandoned building. Herman immediately drove to the caffe.

Herman until 20 minutes later. He immediately went in and went to the corner table.

"Sir Herman, this is the result of hidden CCTV footage that is in the office clinic. There was a man in a brown suit who put the box on the cake, when Doctor Daisy went to the toilet!" reporting to his men while handing over his phone to Herman, they sent the CCTV footage into the phone.

"Have you guys found out? Who is he and what is his motive for poisoning Daisy?" ask Herman.

"His name is Akhmad Fathir, he is from the Malaysian city of KL. About our motives do not know, he is not bound by business or competition with Mr. Juan. If a rival is in love, it feels impossible if he wants Doctor Daisy to get hurt!" said his other men. Herman nodded confirming the alleged subordinates.

"We're here because the man lived in an empty building in front of this caffe!"

"You mean, he was there?" herman asked, pointing to the building. The three men nodded.

"Then, let's get there!!" Herman immediately stepped in after putting two pieces of red banknotes.

They stepped inside the building without knowing the situation inside. Arriving inside the building, they split up and searched for Akhmad Fathir.

Fathir already knew that if he was followed, he was waiting for Herman's men inside the building. He paralysed one by one Herman's men and gathered them on the roof of the empty 5-story building. Lastly Fathir looked for Herman and finally they met.

"So you're Akhmad Fathir?" herman asked as his hands clenched.

"Herman Sanjaya, 55, assistant to Juan Zabrani who is now deputy director and one of the people considered family by Juan."

"You investigated everyone who had contact with Juan, to such a detail. What is the motive for your crime, you love Daisy?" ask Herman.

"Mahaha ...."

Heavy laughter blared from Fathir's mouth. Herman felt his body tremble hearing the terrible laughter from Fathir. Fathir advanced slowly and Herman was unable to defend himself, and, only to keep retreating until there was no place for him to dodge and Fathir finally caught him and tied him up with his other men on the rooftop floor of the building.

Fathir sat on a chair, watching the four people he tied up on the pillar post. Fathir shut them all up. Herman knew all the enemies of Juan's business, but this man before him, Herman really didn't know who he was.
