Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Mr. Kevin looked very happy to hear the news that he was supposed to hear from the three burly men that he ordered to destroy all the businesses that Gifer was running. He smiled with satisfaction while guessing that Gifer would one day come back and kneel before him to get a job as CEO to fulfill the needs of his family in Kendal.

“How did it go? Did you manage to get him out of the foundation?”

“I did, Boss. It’s guaranteed that he’ll never teach again because I instigated all the guardians of the students who registered for braille reading lessons there and they believed me,” Wawan, one of the leaders of the three burly men explained everything that happened when he kicked Gifer out of Martin’s braille reading center.

“What a great science of incitement you have, Wawan, it’s worth appreciating. I’ll give you extra money later. You two will still get paid,” Mr. Kevin smiled victoriously as he sipped his coffee.

“Then what’s our next task boss?”

“Keep an eye on wherever Gifer is, don’t let him set up another business, if that happens, you can dissolve the business with a snap of your fingers, right?” Mr. Kevin displayed his smug smile.

“Hahaha, ready boss! I’ll do it!” with their hands on their heads as if they were saluting, the three burly men agreed with Mr. Kevin.

“Don’t forget, after Gifer is completely jobless, I will personally go ahead to persuade him, but you guys should also follow me, because I will force him to work again for my company! After that, the next step is Raya. You must take everything Raya has now and keep her lover away from Raya forever. Be it by separating them between different islands or different countries. They should be separated, I’m more in favor of Raya dating Gifer again like before. Keep an eye on Gifer too so he doesn’t have another girl he loves besides Raya!” Mr. Kevin ordered so much, even so the three burly men understood.

“Okay, boss. I’ll carry out your orders,”

“Good, don’t let our plan be uncovered by anyone!” The three of them nodded in agreement with what the middle-aged man in front of them said.

It was getting late, Belvina could not fall asleep because she was thinking about something that had been bothering her. She started trying to face towards the right and closed her eyes, but could not. Tried to turn towards the left while closing her eyes. Still couldn’t.

“What’s wrong with me? I’m always thinking about Gifer. I don’t know why I’m so worried about him. He’s still alive, I saw him earlier and after I asked the owner of the foundation, it’s really Gifer, aissh!” she grumbled in frustration while messing up her long black hair.

.

This afternoon during her break, Belvina was photocopying important files needed by other bank employees, when she saw a commotion at a foundation. She initially didn’t want to interfere and let it happen, but her curiosity got the better of her and she decided to watch from a distance. Shortly after three burly men left the foundation, there was a blind man whose face she recognized.

“Gifer? Why did he come out of the foundation? Ah, maybe he’s learning to read,” she monologued while frowning in confusion.

“But why is the expression on his face so gloomy? What happened? Is there a robber and Gifer is to blame?” She continued. As a result, Belvina tried to enter the foundation. The first thing she saw when she entered the foundation was the benches and tables that were scattered all over the place.

“What’s going on here?” She thought. Until suddenly there was a voice that startled her until both of her shoulders shook.

“Looking for who, Miss? Is there anything we can help you with?” The unfamiliar voice coming from behind her made her startle and turn her body to face the person.

“Ah, no. I just want to find out about the blind man who just came out of here.”

“Oh… Gifer?”

“Yes, I’m his friend, does he study here?” Asked Belvina even though she was still awkward with the tall man named Martin.

“Yes, he used to study reading here. But since he can already read, I asked him to teach. Eh, there was a bit of a problem earlier and he’s going back home to Kendal,”

“Problem?”

“Yes, there’s a bit of chaos here, but it’s okay, I’ll clean it up later. Regarding Gifer, maybe on Monday he will be back here anyway,”

“Ah, thanks for the information. I’ll try to catch up with him in Kendal,”

“Yes, take care of him. I’m worried about him, he only has his best friend here in Jakarta, while his parents are in Kendal, he works while he can’t see. It must be very hard for her,”

“Yes, I know, that’s why I want to help him,” Belvina smiled and Martin reciprocated with his sweet sunny smile.

“Oh yeah, we haven’t met yet. What’s your name?” Asked Martin extending his right hand.

“My name is Belvina, just call me Vina.”

“Ah, that’s a nice name. My name is Martin.”

“Good name too,” Bervina glanced at the watch on her wrist.

“Oh well, I have to get back to the office. Thanks Martin for all the information, I have to go now, bye,” said Belvina.

“Yes, be careful on the road!” Belvina just smiled and nodded slightly.

.

“Huh, what if I can’t meet Gifer tomorrow? Anggi even took me to Bekasi to see the Museum, how could I possibly meet him? Ah, I don’t know. Better just sleep, I’m tired.” Belvina tried to sleep again.

The man in the black hodie suit and training pants was sitting on the balcony of the apartment alone, looking up at the sky that he couldn’t see. It was bitter to think about it, but that was the reality. All he could feel was the bone-chilling night breeze. But the man did not move from his sitting position. The friend watched him from the balcony door of the apartment.

“Gif, what’s wrong? You look so glum. What are you thinking about? Don’t want to share with me? It’s not like you’re usually silent like this, as if you’re antagonizing me,” The master turned his head towards the deep voice of Haris who asked him.

“You must have heard from Bang Martin, right Ris, about what happened this morning?” Instead of getting an answer, Haris got a question back from his best friend.

“About the foundation being ransacked by thugs?”

“Well you know,”

“That’s okay, Gif. No problem, Bang Martin doesn’t mind either. It’s just that we have to find more students,”

“That’s the hard part, Ris,”

“Yes, you can type it on your laptop, then print it out, make brochures and distribute them to places that are full of crowds. There must be a lot of enthusiasts,” Haris suggested with his brilliant brain.

“Yes, but I still feel guilty about Bang Martin. Because of me, the foundation was ransacked by those thugs,”

“Never mind, we have to keep going despite all the problems, Gif,”

“Yes, you’re right, Ris,” but immediately Gifer remembered his desire to return home to Kendal.

“Ris, tomorrow I want to go back to Kendal, do you want to come home too?” he continued.

“Are you sure Gif? How come it’s so impromptu,”

“I just miss my parents, Ris,”

“That’s okay, I’ll just stay here. But can you really be alone? The Jakarta-Kendal trip can take up to one day. If you take the train, it’s also about 6-7 hours, are you sure? What if you get lost?” Haris was worried about his friend. But what he was worried about instead invited him to joke.

“Sure, if I get lost, just pretend I’m traveling,”

“Nonsense! What if I’m tricked by someone?”

“Yes, just surrender,”

“Wow, you might be crazy, Gif,”

“Indeed, I can rely on my insanity to trick those people who like to cheat,”

“Makes sense, I like your style, hahhaha,”

“Cih, no need to praise,”

“Hahahahaha,”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Hahahaha.”

They laughed together under the bright lights on the balcony of the apartment.
