Love Is Because It's Ordinary

Goodbye, Mr. Herman

Juan, Koko and Herman's daughter take Herman to his final resting place. Daisy and Elis also accompany Koko and Juan. They looked devastated at Herman's departure. The figure of the gentle man they knew was now gone forever.

After Herman's funeral, Herman's daughter is escorted to the airport by Juan. She lives in Singapore with her husband.

"Thank you for helping me bury Dad." Princess Herman looked so tough, but Juan was sure in his heart to be very lost.

"I'm the one who should be thanking you, and apologizing to you. Wanting to save me, he sacrificed his own life. Though I am nothing, I just .. hiks." Juan sobbed, remembering Herman.

"My dad, every week he calls and teases me. He said that 'even if you're far away, but I already have two sons and they won't leave me' Dad always teases me like that. For my father Brother Juan, and Kak Koko already he considered as a child, jangain grieved for a long time. My father Herman Sanjaya is a great man, he can be remembered with pride, do not make my late father as a burden on your mind. I'm sure my father wants you and me to live happily" said Herman's daughter.

"She has sacrificed so much for me, but I haven't had time to repay all her kindness."

"My plane takes off soon, goodbye and I hope you're happy. Bye bye!" said princess Herman.

Juan returns to Herman's official home next to the computer course building. There Koko, Elis and Daisy are gathered on the living room sofa. The black clothes they wore, added to the somber atmosphere after her departure.

"Drink first, Mommy." Elis thrust a glass filled with water on Koko. He really can't bear to see Koko.

"Thank you." Koko only received the glass without drinking the water in it.

Elis gently rubbed Koko's back. He didn't know what to comfort him. Elis still remembers when Herman accidentally pushed him to hit Koko. It was Herman who brought Elis and Koko closer, Herman who always smiled kindly to him, when he forgot to bring the file that should be brought in the meeting room. All Elis remembered about Herman was the kindness, hospitality and fatherly soul he had. There is no ugliness in the eyes of Elis, Herman for him is a very, very, very good man.

So also in the eyes of Koko, Herman for him is a substitute figure for his father. A wise, firm, authoritative figure. Koko still vividly remembers Herman's words, as she poured out her heartbreak about Elis. The word 'Take me as your father' keeps ringing in Koko's ears. He returned sad.

Among those who grieved, it was Juan who felt the most loss, the most guilt. Herman's been with him for almost 15 years. Juan and Herman's first meeting was when Juan was looking for someone who could help him manage the minimarket business. At that time Juan just had two minimarkets and an ethics school. From the moment he met, Herman treated Juan like his own son. But Juan never thought that his adoptive father would sacrifice his life.

Daisy hugged Juan who was still sobbing in self-blame. Daisy has forgotten the sadness of losing their baby. Now the sadness that Daisy feels is to see the man she loves is down. In the eyes of Daisy, Herman is a perfect figure like an angel. How not, he was even willing to sacrifice his life for people who had no blood relation to him.

***

A month later

Juan, Koko and Daisy have returned to their routine. The position of deputy director, which was occupied by the late Herman, is now replaced by Koko. Akhmad Fathir has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Herman. Fathir was arrested on the roof of the building on Juan's report that day.

Because Juan did not want to have an assistant that he did not know, so Juan appointed Elis to be his assistant and recruited a new secretary for Koko.

"Lake in!"

Koko walks into Juan's room, sits in front of Juan's desk. He waited for Juan to finish with the file he was signing. When it was over, Koko spoke.

"What's up, Ko?" ask Juan.

"Me and Elis are getting married next week. Elis wants to stop working and he doesn't dare to tell you" Koko said.

"It's okay, I'll take it from the supermarket or minimarket. I don't want an assistant I never knew. Congratulations on your marriage" Juan said.

"Thank you, I'll also take a leave of absence, can I?" ask Koko.

"Yes, I'll arrange a 2-week vacation for you!" replied Juan.

Koko came out after saying her point. He then went to the cafeteria with Elis because it was lunchtime.

"Honey, yuk's lunch!"

"I have no appetite, Brother Juan alone is gone."

"Or maybe you want to find some other food?" ask Juan.

"Empal is thick, but the real one" Daisy said with sparkling eyes.

"What is the real one like?"

"Empal authentic barrel that he originally cooked in a barrel, the original seller Cirebon, the original purchase in the city of Cirebon there. Original right!" answer Daisy.

Juan just gaped at Daisy's answer. Just for lunch should go to Cirebon. The one who came to Cirebon was not lunch but so dinner. Juan felt Daisy's appetite was strange since yesterday.

Yesterday Daisy asked to buy soup ribs mang Ujang, and must mang Ujang itself wrap it. Because Mang Ujang already has employees so its employees who wrap, and Daisy can know that it is not the mang Ujang who wrapped it himself. Juan came back again and asked for help from Mang Ujang so that he wrapped it.

What about the request this time. Juan felt strange and with a probing look he asked Daisy.

"Darling, are you cravings, pregnant again?" ask Juan.

"Come!!"

"To Doctor yuk!" bring Juan.

"Let's go sometime. Let's go to Cirebon!

"But, baby. I have an important meeting after lunch. If we go to Cirebon now, what about the meeting?" Juan spoke carefully.

"Yes, already. I'll wait for Brother Juan to finish the meeting. It's there, I'll wait here!"

Juan went to the cafeteria alone, after a close lunch hour. Daisy's waiting for Juan at the clinic.
