Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The day began to change, the black sky had changed colour to blue accompanied by birds that whistled while flying here and there following the direction of the wind. The sun began to peek out from its hiding place, gradually it also wanted to reveal itself as the sun that shines on the earth, plus the sound of chickens crowing in all directions signalled that it was morning, inviting people to wake up from sleep and carry out activities as usual. As if bewitched, with the greatness of the people have begun to wake up, the proof is Belvina and Anggi who are now just leaving for work, all the equipment has been prepared, especially in terms of cleaning themselves and breakfast. Of course that was the number one point after waking up in the morning. All the two of them had to do was lock the apartment door and get off while waiting for the busway at the bus stop in front of the apartment.

“Hah… it doesn’t feel like it’s already Monday, cheers!” She said excitedly and then raised her right fist in the air. But unlike the other girl, Belvina, who was brooding as if she lacked spirit, she still tried to laugh. Not a sincere laugh, it could be seen clearly by her best friend.

“Hahaha, it seems like it was only yesterday Saturday that I went out with Gifer, eh now it’s already Monday. It’s true, you have to be enthusiastic.” He said with a sluggish tone, making Anggi feel a little strange about her best friend.

“Why, your face is so sluggish, even though you had breakfast earlier. Usually if you’re lethargic it’s a sign that you haven’t had breakfast, but you have. You should be excited,” said Anggi.

“Ah, I know, you must be thinking about Gifer, right?” Anggi teased while laughing. However, Belvina’s face showed a different expression from Anggi.

“That’s what it is,”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Patience, maybe Gifer doesn’t want to be the CEO for now, and maybe later he will. Everything needs a process, Vin. Nothing is instant in this world, including persuading someone whose heart has already been hurt by the same person. And that person is asking for it back. If I were Gifer, I wouldn’t even want to work there, afraid of being lied to again for the second time,” Anggi’s suggestion helped Belvina not to think about it anymore.

“Yes, you’re right, Anggi. Gifer must be thinking about this too. Indecision might also be in his heart, I know that. But, unfortunately I can’t comfort him. We didn’t call each other last night either, after knowing that the one who asked him to return as CEO was Mr Kevin, he didn’t seem to like it,” Belvina tried to explain to her friend, who she also responded well and gave advice of course.

“That’s clear, Vin. If you want to meet Gifer and solve your problem, it’s better to go directly to the foundation, Gifer is teaching there.”

“Ah yes, you’re right. I’ll be there later,”

“Eh, the bus has arrived, let’s get on.”

In another place, Gifer was standing in front of the big mirror in his room, brushing his hair neatly, also wearing a white shirt and black pants. His brain recalled the incident last night about Mr Kevin who called him suddenly.

“Gif, come back to my company. I promise never to take back what is already yours. I will restore the company’s name back to what it used to be. Your performance is very good, Gif. Don’t waste this opportunity. If you still want to be CEO, you can come tomorrow Monday. But if you don’t want to come, then I’ll close this company forever because the employees have also started to leave one by one.”

Remembering that, made Gifer hesitate, his heart began to rustle. He wanted to be a CEO like before, but not of someone else’s company, but of his own. He began to reach out and open the top drawer of his dressing table. Various types of ties were lined up in each neatly arranged box. Gifer already knew the colour of the tie he had been wearing. He took a black tie that matched his trousers. He started to wear the tie by fingering his collar first, his hands began to skilfully twist the fabric that would be used as a tie. After that, he reached for the black suit he had prepared on the bed and began to put it on. Looking for a watch that he had not been wearing, he felt the nightstand near the bed lamp, and once he found it, he immediately put it on. Feeling ready, Gifer immediately grabbed the cane that had been used to help him walk. The door of the room was opened, in the living room there was Haris who had also prepared and put on his shoes. Gifer’s bag had also been prepared by Haris.

“Even though you were invited to work, Gif. Why do I have to come anyway? After all, who will teach at the foundation?” Asked the man who was taller than him.

“Heh, you’re a staff at Mr Kevin’s company, you know! I don’t know, Ris. I’m actually still in doubt. If I don’t go, I’m afraid that there will be no more opportunities. After all, no other company would accept a blind person like me,” Gifer bowed his head sadly while sighing softly.

Gifer was still hesitant and indecisive, but his desire was also strong to become CEO. After that day had accused Belvina of not loving what he was, it turned out that her accusation was wrong, instead Belvina wanted Gifer’s future to also be bright even though he could not see but he had skills in business and office. It’s a shame if the skills he has are just buried without being used. After all, her lover was also not against her becoming CEO again.

“Ah, yes, too. But, I just feel sorry for the children at the foundation. I’m afraid if they have different teachers, they won’t concentrate on their studies,” Haris was still thinking about the fate of the foundation children he left behind, if the two of them were no longer teaching, surely the children would ask about his presence to Bang Martin and Nova.

“Yes, indeed. But we already told Bang Martin and Nova about this matter last night. So I think the two of them will teach,” Gifer casually responded to Haris’ words.”Well that’s it, I also feel bad for them, if they are the teachers, then who will look after the office?” Haris asked.

“Yes, maybe you can take turns, right? Instead of thinking about that, let’s go.” Gifer tried to invite Haris to go to work immediately.

“Eh, just don’t leave,” said Gifer.

“Why is that?”

“You’re not wearing shoes yet, Gif! Is it okay for a CEO to walk all the way to the office? Hahahahaha,”

“Oh my! Hahahaha, how could I forget,” Gifer tapped his forehead. He also asked Haris to get his shoes and put them on immediately.

“The effect of being out of office for a long time, hahahhaha,” Haris said, Gifer tried to feel the black shoes and pulled them on.

“Already? Let’s go.” Haris took Gifer’s hand to get out of the apartment and go to work.

“Are you sure you don’t have a car? Is it time for the CEO to take the busway?” Gifer asked.

“Ask your boss, Mr Kevin, about that.”

“Yeah, your boss too. Hahahaha,”

“Hahahaha.”
