Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

BRUGH!

Nara’s body fell to the cold floor of the living room with her right arm resting on her head. On the palm of her right hand, there was already a spot of blood that she had seen after she coughed, causing her to go into shock and faint. No one knew that Nara had fainted. Yohanes left the house for a short walk, while Kiano was nowhere to be found. The house was deserted, all the bodyguards were at Gifer’s house. Leaving the girl just lying alone with no one to help her.

The sound of a door opening from one of the rooms on the first floor, and the one who came out turned out to be Kiano who wanted to get a drink in the kitchen. But his gaze was drawn to the feet of someone lying down. Kiano abandoned his intention to go to the kitchen and preferred to approach the person lying on the floor.

Kiano thought that it was Yohanes because the man did like to lie on the living room floor. But if it’s Yohanes, why are his feet so small? Kiano thought. Kiano walked closer cautiously, afraid of waking the person. and when he found out that it was Nara, Kiano was automatically surprised. His eyes widened and he immediately saw Nara’s condition.

“Oh my! Nara! Nara, what’s wrong with you?” Kiano said as he rested his knees on the cold floor and checked Nara’s body by shaking her.

“Nara! Nara answer Brother!” He ordered with a little yell to wake Nara up, but his efforts were to no avail. Kiano also patted Nara’s cheeks to no avail. Finally Kiano saw that there was a spot of blood on Nara’s right palm and was surprised.

“Blood? Oh my!”

Instantly Kiano’s memory went back in time to something that happened to one of his parents.

Flashback

“Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!” The sound of Mr. Billy’s coughing echoed throughout his room.

Mr. Billy was still sleeping with a scarf around his neck and a gray long-sleeved t-shirt and black trousers covered with a thick white blanket. The middle-aged man could only lie in his room with his two children and wife lamenting the sadness of his father’s illness.

“Kiano, I have only one message before God calls for your life. Please, take good care of Nara, don’t ever make her cry.” The father’s message made Kiano really cry sadly while holding the older’s hand.

“Yes, I promise, Father. I’ll take good care of Nara and won’t let her cry, hiks.”

“Be a strong man, your job is hard, but that’s how you show that you love your sister.” Mr. Kiano said again. Kiano nodded his head in understanding. Shortly after, his father coughed again, this time with blood coming out of his mouth.

“Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!” Kiano could see that the handkerchief his father was holding had a lot of blood on it. His mother could only cry and his brother could not say anything else.

“Dad…” Nara also cried hysterically seeing her father who had closed his eyes forever.

Flashback END

Kiano snapped out of his reverie and intended to take Nara to the hospital.

“This is what I was afraid of, Nara. You used to have this tuberculosis disease that was passed down from your father when you were in Junior High School. And lately you’ve been coughing a lot too, but you haven’t talked to me about it at all. Even though you keep it to yourself, I know that. You need to go to the hospital immediately, Nara. I don’t want you to experience the same thing as Dad!” Kiano picked Nara up and carried her to the car. Driving alone with his mind not spared from Nara’s illness.

The sight of Namjoon’s car suddenly coming out of the yard made Gifer wonder.

“Where are they going? Must be traveling, right? Satisfied to see me just staying here? Haishh, so unfair! I want to be free from this house immediately!” Gifer was upset while clenching his hands. Gifer saw Kiano’s car from the balcony of his room.

Since earlier, Anggi had only been watching Belvina who was working without her usual enthusiasm. It could be seen from her lips that were bent downward, unlike her usual smiling and happy days. This time her best friend seemed unfocused and more like a absent-minded person because she often daydreamed. Until finally Anggi decided to surprise her when Belvina was not focused on serving customers who wanted to save money by tapping her on the shoulder.

“Hey! Why are you daydreaming oh? There’s someone who wants to save money.”

“Ah? I’m sorry. Okay, I’ll check the amount first, sir.” Belvina said to the customer. Anggi who saw that was surprised. What’s wrong with her best friend? Is it because of Gifer’s absence that Belvina is behaving strangely like this? She thought.

‘Maybe Belvina is still in shock and can’t live without Gifer. Usually Gifer would invite her for refreshing in the afternoon to unwind after work. Maybe since the disappearance of that man, Belvina has become discouraged. To know for sure, I’ll ask her later after work is done.’ Anggi said to herself while still glancing at Belvina who was checking the amount of money into the machine.

.

Time passed quickly, this time it was time to go home from work, Belvina and Anggi walked hand in hand towards the bus stop. The two of them didn’t talk to each other, Belvina who didn’t want to start a conversation, and Anggi who was afraid to ask questions. After a few seconds, Anna finally got up the courage to ask Belvina.

“Ekhm, what’s wrong with you, Vin? I see you’re not focused at all at work, is there a problem?” In the end, Anggi decided to ask because of her increasing curiosity about her friend’s attitude. Belvina stopped her steps and faced Anggi.

“This morning, Gifer’s mom called.” That one sentence immediately made Anggi widen both eyeballs in surprise.

“What? Gifer’s mom called you, is that it?” Anggi asked.

“No, Gifer’s mom called on Gifer’s cell phone. Then I explained that I was Gifer’s friend and Gifer’s cell phone was with me.” Belvina answered.

“Then, did Gifer’s mom ask about Gifer being kidnapped?”

“Yes, Gifer’s mom wanted to make sure and I told her the truth. But I tried to calm her down, gave her words of encouragement so she wouldn’t worry. I promised her to look for Gifer until I found him together with other friends and she believed me.” Belvina tried to explain to Anggi.

“Thank goodness, then what were you thinking again, Vin?”

“Anggi I’m just scared, I’m scared if Gifer isn’t found at all and won’t come back, hiks… What should I tell Gifer’s mom if that happens? Hiks… hiks… hiks…” Belvina’s crying finally broke down. Anggi immediately hugged Belvina’s body. Making her not to be too sad.

“No, Vin, you have to be strong. Gifer will come back if he’s still alive. Somehow Gifer will definitely escape from Nara’s grasp, I’m sure of it.” Anggi tried to calm Belvin who was still crying until his shirt was wet with Belvina’s tears. Belvina released her hug from Anggi.

“I’ve already lost, Gi. How can I possibly win Gifer’s heart? Belvina already belongs to Nara now.” Anggi shook his head disagreeing with what Belvina said.

“No, Vin, you can still win. Let’s just say that this competition is not over yet and there are still many obstacles that must be faced. Please, get rid of your negative thoughts, maybe there is also Gifer struggling to break away from Nara. I don’t know where Gifer is now, I’m sure, Gifer definitely doesn’t want to linger in Nara’s place. You believe that right? Oh come on, Vin. Think positive if you want to get positive results.” Anggi explained. Belvina thought about what Anggi said and nodded her head in understanding.

“Yes, you’re right, Gi. I have to be strong. This competition is not over yet, even until the end I will defend my relationship with Gifer. I’m sure, Gifer only loves me and not another girl, let alone the girl who made him blind in the first place.” Belvina was convinced and glanced at Anna. Anna also nodded her head while smiling.

Kiano was driving at a moderate speed, but suddenly a man stopped him on the side of the road by waving his right hand as a sign that Kiano was asked to stop, and it turned out that the man was Yohanes.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Stop, Kiano!” he ordered. Kiano stopped the car and opened the door for Yohanes.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so hurried? Aren’t you afraid to die?” Yohanes asked with a chuckle.

“I have to hurry! Nara needs first aid!” Kiano said a little using his high tone. Yohanes’ chuckle instantly turned into a serious expression on his face.

“What’s wrong with Nara?”

“Nara fainted at home, I’m just afraid of a recurrence of her old illness.”

“Ah I see, well, just drive the car at a moderate speed.”

.

Not waiting long, Kiano already knew the way to the XXX New York hospital and arrived there, Kiano and John immediately carried Nara’s body and placed it on an empty gurney after asking the nurse. The gurney began to be pushed by several nurses and other medical people carrying her towards the ER room. Kiano could only wait outside the ER room with mixed feelings and thoughts that could not be said to be positive.

“I don’t know why I still think that Nara is hiding everything from me. I often heard Nara coughing but I didn’t expect it to come back when she was older. Back in JHS, the doctor said that Nara didn’t have a long life, I still remember that until now, that’s why I always obeyed what he wanted, even including making Gifer his own.” Kiano said to Yohanes who was still digesting every word Kiano threw at him.

“So, what are we going to do to make Gifer like Nara?” Yohanes asked.

“There is, I’ll talk about it with Nara after she wakes up.” Kiano replied with a facial expression that was difficult to interpret. On one hand he wanted Nara to be happy, on the other hand he also had to force Gifer to like Nara.
