18 Determination Born Out of Love for You

During lunchtime today, the office cafeteria was much more crowded than usual. Normally, many of the employees would choose to eat at the small restaurants behind the office or if they just received their salary, they would eat at the cafe near the office, so this time, many employees ate at the office cafeteria.

This happened because since yesterday there has been a buzz in the WA group of this office about the battle between Ardy who is the new finance director, the son of the company leader who is also the largest shareholder in this company against Ken who is only a cleaning service.

The news got even more exciting in the evening because it turned out that Ken, the cleaning service, challenged Ardy and his 3 men and because of that, the office cafeteria became very excited. The cafeteria lady even had to borrow a chair from the office because the cafeteria chairs couldn't accommodate the number of visitors on this day.

The cafeteria lady was very happy with this situation. So, she asked two of her employees to fight next week so that the cafeteria would be busy again.

"So, if we fight, who will serve the guests?" Somad asked the canteen lady.

"Yes, ma'am. Who?" said Amran.

"I'll add more people. You two take it easy. Just fight until you're bloody, for drama. Okay?" said the canteen lady, smiling at the growing number of visitors.

"So, what will Somad and I fight over? Mr. Ardy and Ken, the cleaning service guy, are fighting over Miss Lidya, who is exorbitantly beautiful. So, what will Somad and I fight over?" Amran asked curiously.

"Yes, ma'am. There has to be something for men to fight over," said Somad.

The cafeteria lady thought for a moment, then she said, "Then you fight over me. Incidentally, my husband Bang Toyib hasn't come home for 3 years, so, you guys just fight over me? Do you want to?" The cafeteria lady blinked her eyes spoiledly.

"Just for you, Somad, the cafeteria lady. I'm willing," Amran said to Somad and immediately left Somad to serve the newly arrived canteen guests.

"For the sake of our friendship, I give in, Amran. I'll leave the canteen mother to you." Somad pretended to be busy lifting plates of food from the guest table.

"Woy, where are you taking that? I'm still eating, Tau!" the canteen guest stood up and glared at Somad.

"Sorry, uncle. I thought I'd finished eating." Somad put down the plate of food he had just picked up.

"Careless! I've only eaten two spoons, eh, you're just throwing it away, huh." The cafeteria guest continued to grumble at Somad, so Somad hurriedly disappeared into the cafeteria kitchen.

By this time, there was a frenzy in front of the cafeteria as Ardy and three of his friends were standing there doing shadow boxing as if they were about to face a world-class boxing match.

In front of the cafeteria, there was a former park but because it was being renovated, the trees had been removed and all that was left was green grass. It's a great place to fight because when a fighter falls, his head will hit the green grass, so it's safer than fighting on a hard floor.

"Where's the cleaning service? Let's go. I can't wait."

"Yes, where is the person? He said he wanted to challenge four people at once."

"Already ran away, at times. Hahaha."

"Yes, maybe he went straight back to his hometown at the terminal because he was scared."

"He made this prank. After challenging people, he immediately ran away."

"Yes. I think so. How can one person challenge 4 people at once."

"Tul. This is a prank, mah."

These were some of the rumors from the cafeteria visitors who were also workers at the Mulia Investment and Securitas office. They were all waiting for the cleaning service named Ken, who had been causing quite a stir in the office for the past two days.

After making a scene by successfully dating Lidya, the dream girl of thousands of men in this office, the cleaning service made a scene by challenging 4 men at once in a fight in front of the canteen at lunchtime, so that the name Ken the cleaning service, immediately became a byword for the past 2 days.

People who didn't know Ken before started talking about him and remembering him as he mopped the floor.

Suddenly, the situation became exciting. Many people applauded when they saw Ken coming out of the elevator with his hand held by Lidya.

Ken saw people clapping and calling his name around the cafeteria and after that, Ken looked towards the former garden and saw Ardy and his 3 men looking at him.

"Ken, we can still avoid this," Lidya whispered while looking at Ken sadly.

"No, Lidya. I told you earlier, I won't cancel this. I've already challenged them, Lid, so I won't cancel this," Ken said firmly.

"Please, Ken. Please... huhuhu. I don't want to see you bleed. I don't want to see you broken because you fought four people. Moreover, Ardy, it turns out that he regularly trains at the boxing gym and participated in the MMA championship when he was in America. Even though his achievements aren't great, he has great skills, Ken. Have you ever studied at such a place?"

"No."

"Well, that's why. Ouch." Lidya shed her tears at the thought of Ken's next fate.

"But I have something."

"What is it?" Lidya wiped away her tears.

"I have a strong will born out of my love for you. Ardy promised me that he wouldn't go through with his engagement to you if I could get rid of him and his three friends. That's why I have to win so that he breaks the engagement."

Lidya burst into tears again. "Huhuhu. Ardy deliberately said that so that you'd be interested in continuing to fight with him, when in fact, he's just going to beat you up, Ken. Huhuhu. You can't win against four people, Ken. Huhuhu."

"Not necessarily, Lidya. Not yet."

"Ken... please. Get over it. For your safety. Please..."

"I can't, Nat. I'm not a man if I run away from a fight I've already agreed to. So, please... give me your blessing." Ken held Lidya's hand and looked at Lidya lovingly.

"Woy... end the lovemaking! Let's fight!" Ardy, who was jealous of Ken and Lidya's intimacy, immediately glared at Ken.

It turned out that by this time, Ken and Lidya were already in the former park where Ardy and his three friends had been standing.

"Back off, Lid. Wait for me over there." Ken pointed to where Clara and Yuni were sitting. He asked Lidya to sit with the two of them.

"But..."

"Go over there. I'm fine, Lid."

Lidya was finally forced to leave especially after Clara came to pull her body away from Ken.

Now Ardy, in a threatening manner, approached Ken.
