Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The green leaves of the tabebuya trees had begun to be highlighted by the afternoon sunlight that illuminated the city of Jakarta, the two men of different ages who had been talking about the company owner were planning to return to their respective homes as soon as their work was finished. They were packing up until one of their phones rang.

Of course it surprised the middle-aged man who was packing his files. He tried to figure out whose cell phone was ringing by frowning and sharpening his hearing.

“Whose phone is that? Is it yours?” Asked the elder.

“Looks like mine, Mr. Kevin.” Said the younger one, Haris. Mr. Kevin’s face immediately brightened.

“Hurry up and pick it up, Haris.” Mr. Kevin advised. The younger man immediately looked for his cell phone, which turned out to be in his coat pocket and found it. The cell phone already displayed the name of his girlfriend, Anggi. Haris immediately picked it up.

“Hello, what’s wrong, dear?” Seeing that certainly made Mr. Kevin want to laugh but he held back because the situation was still precarious like this. As a result, the middle-aged man could only smile while still listening to Haris’ conversation with his girlfriend.

“We’re back, honey. We also found Gifer and came back with us.” Anggi said from the other side of the phone. Haris’ face immediately brightened upon hearing the news from his girlfriend and turned to Mr. Kevin who was still frowning in confusion.

“Really? Ah… I’m so happy to hear that. Can you bring Gifer here now?” Suddenly Mr. Kevin immediately signaled Haris not to bring Gifer to the company first by waving his palm, as if to say don’t.

“Alright, I’m going to…” Anggi’s sentence was paused because Haris immediately refused her not to bring Gifer to the company first.

“No! No, don’t bring Gifer here. Maybe Gifer needs time because he’s tired from traveling, not to mention the problems Gifer had while in New York. I know that, so don’t. Maybe we’ll talk at the apartment later.” Haris decided to be safe and not to hurt anyone’s heart.

“I see. I’m on my way home first, honey.” Anggi said.

“Yes, dear. Be careful on the road.” Haris said and that was the end of his conversation with Anna, after which he hung up. Haris sat back on the sofa to talk about what Anggi had said earlier.

“Has Gifer been found?” Asked Mr. Kevin to make sure that his guess was not wrong.

“Yes, Mr. Kevin. Gifer is back with your men.”

“Thank God, I hope Gifer’s mental state is not disturbed. I’m just afraid of the past situation, especially when he got into an accident, Gifer even wanted to commit suicide. Hopefully not this time.” Mr. Kevin said.

“It looks like this time Gifer won’t do that stupid thing anymore, Mr. Kevin. Gifer already has Belvina, a girlfriend who always strengthens him mentally. A lover that Gifer loves very much, who doesn’t want to hurt him at all.” Haris explained in detail that his friend had strength only by being with Belvina. Mr. Kevin smiled and faced Haris.

“Hahaha, Yes, I had forgotten that Gifer already has a girlfriend. Indeed, a girl can make a man better.”

“Hehehe, then… why did Mr. Kevin choose not to remarry until now?” Haris asked. Mr. Kevin’s smile instantly faded. Feeling that what he was asking was too much, Haris immediately tried to stop the conversation.

“Ah.. no need to answer, Mr. Kevin. Sorry if I’m presumptuous.” Haris continued feeling guilty.

“No, there is nothing wrong with your question, Haris. Indeed, I don’t want to remarry because for me, my dead wife was my strength all along.” Mr. Kevin said.

“Indeed, as I said earlier, a woman can make a man tough and strong in the face of problems. Raya’s mother, she used to be very friendly, but because she had a severe hemorrhage during childbirth and it was too late to get blood supplies, she died in the end. If asked about pain, yes, it must be very painful. I took care of Raya by myself. Even though sometimes I’m busy with work, I also take the time to hold her and play with her. Therefore, I really don’t want Raya to choose the wrong man as her husband because I really love her.” Mr. Kevin tried to explain to Haris who tried to listen and digest everything said by Mr. Kevin.

“That means… Raya hasn’t had a mother since she was a child? Gosh, I’m so sorry Mr. Kevin. Raya’s mother must be at peace there, watching her daughter grow up.” Haris tried to smile.

“Yes, you’re right. Anyway, why are we talking about this? Let’s go home, it’s already 6:30pm. The sun is starting to set.” Mr. Kevin said. Haris nodded obediently and immediately left Gifer’s room followed by Mr. Kevin.

Time flies, now Belvina and Anggi are already in their apartment. Both of them were now leaning on the living room sofa because of the fatigue that overcame them.

“Hah, so tired, Gi. Finally we can reach the apartment too.” Belvina said, leaning her back against the couch.

“Gi, this really is the longest flight I’ve ever experienced. Departing, then returning within one day. I’m definitely tired, even though we sleep on the plane, it’s still not as comfortable as sleeping in an apartment.” Said Anggi, who also leaned her back against the sofa.

“Yeah, eh?” Belvina immediately straightened her body back up when she remembered something.

“What’s wrong with you, Vin? Aren’t you happy today because you’ve met and made out with Gifer oh?” Anggi said.

“Yes, but… there is one thing that still makes me wonder until now. And I also feel that Gifer is hiding something. Yes, I don’t want overthinking, but still this mind still can’t be compromised, aisshh!” Belvina was annoyed by what she had just said. Anggi also straightened up.

“Well, maybe it’s about what happened while Gifer was in New York, you don’t know, Vin.” Anggi tried to get Belvina to stop overthinking things that were not important. Because all this time, Gifer was indeed a man who never did anything according to Anggi. But Belvina who lived it, lived dating Gifer. A sense of doubt began to envelop the girl.

“Maybe, I hope it’s true.”

“Did Gifer show signs of lying, Vin?”

“It’s not lying, it’s more like changing the subject. He’s a bit strange today. Yes Gifer talked about himself while in New York, but I felt like he wanted to say something but couldn’t express it.” Belvina said.

“Keep thinking positive, I’m sure, when the time is right, Gifer will definitely tell you everything.”

“Yes, you’re right Anggi.”
