"Okay if you insist. I'll come often to cook for you," Spider replied with a big smile on his face. Even his smile was so wide it made Matt and Tom gasp in disbelief.
" So I'm wondering. I believe in miracles." Matt chattered in his place while making gestures like someone praying to the sky.
Meanwhile, in her flat, Luci was happy because Spider was willing to fulfill her invitation to come often to her flat. All this time living alone had made her feel lonely.
Maybe there's still Tedy beside her, but that's not enough, right? Not to mention that Tedy already had a wife. Not to mention that his wife didn't like Luci.
"Okay, I'll wait. I'll make sure your shirt is clean when you come. Have a nice day," said Luci. Then she sent her last message to Spider before finally continuing to eat breakfast.
Spider smiled back. Even he had scratched his head because he could not contain the shame and turmoil in his chest.
Then he looked at his hands which were still attached to the pink hansaplast that Luci had given him. He also kissed the two hansaplast as if he was kissing both of Luci's hands.
"Gosh – gosh, Sir that's weird. He kissed his hand. Tom, I can't do this. I can not." Matt whimpered and almost wet himself on the spot because he was frightened by Spider's drastic change.
Meanwhile, Luci was enjoying her breakfast carefully. After finishing texting with Spider, Luci then explored the screen of her cellphone. She opened the photo album and pressed one of the photos she wanted.
It was a photo of Daniel standing very gently and handsomely. Daniel wore a blue levis shirt in the spring. The cherry blossoms were above his head. The flowers bloomed beautifully.
Luci then put her cellphone which displayed Daniel's photo in front of her.
"Hello, babe, how are you? What did you eat there?" asked Luci as she ate her meal. She was talking to the photo of Daniel on her cellphone as if Daniel was in the kitchen and accompanying her to eat.
"Oh, is it delicious? I had a pretty sumptuous breakfast this morning. Guess who cooked for me! My adopted brother! Yes, we just met." Luci also smiled. Then her slender hands spooned the omelet plate.
"The food is very delicious. He can even beat your cooking food, you know. Haha, don't be jealous, honey! I only love you," said Luci again.
Then she spooned again the omelet that was on the plate. Then she pointed her spoon at the photo of Daniel smiling.
"Come on, open your mouth! You must try my brother's cooking. It's very tasty." Luci smiled as she held out the spoon in her hand.
But of course, the omelet on the spoon couldn't be reduced because Daniel wasn't there, and Luci was just assuming that Daniel was alive and in her kitchen right now.
"Why don't you want to eat it? Why don't you want to eat the food I feed you? Don't you love me anymore?" Luci started to cry. Tears flowed from her big, lively eyes.
"I have always been loyal to you. But why did you leave me and prefer to have an affair with death? Why are you doing all this to me?" Luci's eyes were already blurry from being filled with tears.
Her chest felt tight and in pain. Every morning she was like that, crying because she missed Daniel. But the longing could not be removed because Daniel was already in another place that she could not reach.
"You shouldn't have accompanied me at that time. So it won't stick to your body. If you didn't accompany me then, surely now you can still accompany me now." Luci covered her face with her hands.
She then sobbed uncontrollably. In her head, Daniel's body was covered in blood again. His weak body, until finally his lifeless body.

Building E fifth floor, company Folca Hudan
Recently, Evan had been monitoring the development of his relatively new subsidiary, which was none other than a company called Folca Hudan. If usually Evan often spent time at the Unity Hudan company in the capital, then not this time.
Especially after he had found a jockey who might be able to help him get out of the arranged marriage proposed by his grandmother.
"The improvement in profit can be increased if we can strengthen efficiency by 110% from the actual target. Increased orders will occur.
"Therefore, during the mass production preparation we must be able to maximize the training of the operators," explained someone.
At that time Evan was attending a meeting. The meeting was discussing preparations for the production of a new design of their product which would be launched in the next six months. All preparations must be done carefully. Therefore, meetings were often held to improve the product.
"But for the past two weeks, the cycle time process (the work process when employees can complete work at the specified time) from the operator has not increased. They should be able to hit the target in two weeks. But so far there has been no result." The person who was presenting his idea about adding manpower to the production department was still confident standing in front of people.
"Therefore, the addition of manpower here is very necessary. Because in maintaining product output, we can't just focus on quantity. Efficiency can still be obtained by 110% if we add one person to the three most crucial job stations," concluded the person then bent down and sat in his chair.
One of them raised his hand and objected.
"If we increase manpower won't efficiency go down? Our task is to find a way to increase the output as much as possible by reducing the manpower as much as possible."
"No, Sir. We can still add one person to the three job stations. Allow me to layout my calculations." Then he almost stood up to go to the whiteboard in front. But before that, the person who had denied it prevented him.
"Shouldn't you ask Mr. Evan first? Let him say his judgment first."
Everyone then turned to Evan. They knew that if Evan felt something was wrong, Evan would follow up on it.
But how surprised they were after seeing Evan sitting down with empty eyes. Evan was daydreaming.
Mr. John who knew it then patted Evan's shoulder.
"Sir? Mr. Evan?" said Mr. John.
But still, Evan had not responded. In his mind right now something was bothering him.
In his mind, Evan was looking at Luci who was currently approaching him. Then in Evan's mind, she smiled and kissed his lips. But strangely, he didn't refuse, he just wanted more kisses.
