Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Overcast clouds instantly enveloped the city of Jakarta, bringing droplets of water that dripped little by little soaking the earth until the asphalt on the highway was so wet because of the water created by the clouds. The sun did not appear at all today, making a sad atmosphere for the chickens who could not run around and crow in the morning, as well as the birds who only landed for shelter, not chirping freely while flying as usual and blending with nature.

The drops of water had also soaked the grass and green leaves on the side of the road that did not escape the sight of a man with a square smile. Yes, Haris was now leaving for work with Gifer next to him. Inside the car, Haris continued to stare out the window which was directly treated to a very beautiful universe to be exposed to the not so heavy raindrops.

“It’s raining today, Gif,” said Haris. The man sitting next to him turned his head to the heavy sound coming from his right.

“Yes, I heard the sound of the water hitting the roof of this car,” Gifer replied.

“I hope on this rainy morning, there’s no more trouble than usual,” Haris tried to break the ice.

“I hope so too.”

The car in which the two of them were traveling at a moderate speed, the driver was asked by Gifer not to speed up, especially in the rain like now because it could endanger other road users. It didn’t take long, now the two of them had arrived at the parking lot of a high rise building with the name GF Corporation written on it. A company that produced dolls. The two of them walked hand in hand to the office lobby, greeted by several staff and employees who were working on something. Greetings like ‘Morning, Sir.’ It made Gifer’s heart cheer with pleasure even though he couldn’t see who was greeting him.

“Gif, is there another meeting with Kiano’s client later?” Haris asked.

“There is, so what?” Gifer asked back.

“I just don’t want to meet Nara,” Haris answered casually.

“Hahaha, don’t you like her?”

“Like where? I’m really worried if you get harassed again like that last incident,”

“Hmm, yes too, anyway,”

“Right, that’s why I’m worried, I hope that granny lampir doesn’t come bye ah, just seeing her face makes me sick, let alone having to meet her again,”

“I’m the same, but what else can I do? She’s Mr. Kiano’s sister,”

“But the real secretary isn’t Nara, Gif,”

“Did you know, Ris?”

“Yeah, no,”

“Well?”

“But I’m sure, Kiano’s real secretary is not her, if it’s true that Nara is a secretary, automatically she must know what equipment must be brought during the meeting? She didn’t bring any equipment at all, just a small notebook and a ballpoint pen, and even then she didn’t record the results, unlike Sekar,”

“Hmm, that makes sense. I don’t know, let’s discuss this inside my room first, don’t forget to call Sekar, ask her if the files for the meeting are ready or not,”

“Yes, Mr. Gifer,”

“Hahaha, you sound weird calling me by that name, Ris,” Gifer laughed a little.

“You’re the CEO, so I have to set a good example for the staff and employees, right?”

“Yes, Ris. You’re the best.”

They continued talking until they reached the front of Gifer’s room, Haris helped to open the door and they both entered together. As usual, inside the room, Haris helped Gifer to tidy up the documents and carry out everything needed by Gifer as the CEO.

In Mr. Kiano’s large mansion, Nara was now sleeping in her room without wanting to move from the large soft bed with the guessing blanket, making her brother confused by the behavior of his sister who apparently was more concerned with sleeping than having to follow her brother to work. Kiano opened the door to Nara’s room, and just walked into the room with the girl’s favorite tosca blue wall paint.

“Hey, don’t you want to come with my brother again to meet your Gifer?” Kiano asked.

“No, I still want to sleep. Don’t disturb me!” Nara replied.

“Are you sure you don’t want to? Okay, I’ll ask Jessie’s secretary to accompany me to today’s meeting,” there was no reply from Nara, making Kiano even more surprised by his sister’s behavior. ‘How come she’s not interested in meeting Gifer?’ He thought. Not wanting to think badly, Kiano went out of his sister’s room who was only pretending to be asleep. Nara pulled up her blanket while looking at the door of the room that had been closed again by her brother.

“I didn’t come, sis, but I always monitor from afar what Gifer is doing and I will destroy Gifer and his girlfriend’s relationship by using Raya.” Nara said after Kiano’s departure from his room.

The clouds had long since moved away from this afternoon, opening a gap for the dominating sun to shine on the earth. The sun had now traveled to the west, time went so fast that the movement of the sun also followed it quickly. This afternoon, Gifer picked up Belvina using a chauffeur-driven car. Haris had been escorted to the apartment first, now it was his turn to immediately pick up Belvina to WR Bank’s office. Belvina who had memorized that what was in front of her this time was Gifer’s car, she immediately got in and met her lover.

“Did I take too long to pick you up? Sorry.” Gifer said regretfully.

“No, I just got out earlier too.”

“Ah, thank goodness. What about Anggi? Is it okay if she goes home alone?” Gifer asked.

“No problem, really. Oh yeah, where are we going?”

“Enjoying the evening sky by the river when I once committed suicide, shall we? You can also buy snacks there if you feel hungry,” suggested Gifer.

“Not to commit suicide, right?” quipped Belvina which immediately drew laughter from her lover when she heard it.

How could it not be? Belvina reminded Gifer of the second time they met each other at the river with Gifer wanting to commit suicide because he was standing on the handrail of the river bridge.

“Hahahahaha, you still remember that,” Gifer patted his lover’s arm.

“Hahahaha, who told you to stand on the handrail of the bridge, if you had committed suicide at that time, maybe you wouldn’t be in the market with me like now. Right?”

“Yes, and will never be able to become a CEO again. I would have been found by the rescuers and my parents would have been very sad to hear that their son had fallen into the Han River. All because of God’s destiny that brought you to me,” Gifer touched Belvina’s hands and kissed them.

“Why are you so mellow?” Belvina’s tears instantly flowed by themselves. She had never felt so privileged by a man. She was so touched when Gifer really loved her for who she was.

“Hahahaha, never mind dear, let’s not talk about it anymore. So, are we going to the river again?” Asked Gifer to divert the conversation so that his lover wouldn’t feel sad anymore.

“Agreed.”

“Okay, Mr. Fajri, let’s go to the river near the Yasmin intersection.”

“Yes, Mr. Gifer.”

They had arrived at Yasmin river, enjoying the beautiful afternoon sky by eating Jakarta snacks in general. Although Gifer couldn’t see what the atmosphere was like this afternoon, but his lover tried to explain it. Actually, Belvina also wanted to talk about the eye donor for Gifer. She had to talk about it now. Yes, now, Belvina thought.

“Honey, I want to ask you something, but don’t get mad,” Belvina was a little hesitant to tell Gifer the truth.

“Yes, just ask, I won’t get angry.”

“Actually… I… I’ve been trying to find an eye donor for you. Do you want someone to give up their eyes for you someday?” Belvina asked a little nervously, still afraid that Gifer’s response would disagree with what she said. And sure enough, the look on Gifer’s face seemed to dislike what Belvina said.

“Why are you taking things too far, Vin? Do you really not want to have a blind lover like me?” Gifer accused. Belvina shook her head, but on the other hand she also wanted Gifer to see again.
