Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Past memories are not easy to forget, especially with people we really love. But if they are bad memories, should they not be forgotten too?

.

It was already 9:30 a. m., indicating that it was getting noon, the sunlight was already walking higher and higher highlighting the sweet man who was still using a cane to walk. His destination now was the apartment. He was really fed up with what his ex-girlfriend had said earlier. His mood was in turmoil, like glass that had been broken into pieces. How could she not? In the past, he had accepted Raya taking his ideas, asking Gifer to do this and that according to what he asked, and even now he had taken away the business that Gifer had built over the years. Did Gifer ever complain when he was still dating Raya? Of course not, because Gifer was also blinded by love, but not Raya. Raya didn’t love Gifer sincerely at all. That’s why she always refused if Gifer did skinship with her.

Now Gifer had arrived at the door of his apartment, pressing some codes to open the door by fumbling and remembering the location between the numbers on the button. The door opened, Gifer walked in and closed the door again with a bang, making the figure of the friend who was sitting in a chair while watching television squinted because he was surprised by the sound made by Gifer earlier.

BRAK!

“Tsk, what the hell, Gif? Just close the door with a slam. You’re going to be replaced!” Haris threatened which Gifer didn’t listen to. Gifer walked towards the chair which was now being occupied by Haris.

“Over here, man, over here.” Haris directed Gifer to sit on his right.

Even a few minutes after sitting down, Haris was just watching the television news, when he faced Gifer who was still silent. Usually his best friend was always chatty talking about the new things he experienced after being outside the apartment. Why was it different now? Haris didn’t usually see this strange behavior from his best friend. What was wrong with him?

“What’s wrong? How come you’ve been silent all this time, what’s wrong?”

Plak! Gifer slapped Haris’ arm lightly.

“You’re so loud when you talk.”

“Yes, you are, you’ve been silent all this time.”

“What’s wrong with being quiet?”

“Yes, it’s okay, but it’s weird. Gifer who I’ve known for years is usually chatty, why is he so quiet now? Is there a problem?”

“I met Raya earlier,” Haris’s eyes widened at that.

“Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously.”

“Then what does that have to do with your residence today?”

“As usual, she mocked me. But that’s not what makes me sad,”

“Then what?” Gifer sighed for a while before starting to answer again.

“Huh… he’s got a new girlfriend again, Ris. It breaks my heart to know firsthand that Raya could get another boyfriend so quickly after breaking up with me a few days ago.”

“Never mind, Gif. There’s no need to think about Raya,”

“I don’t know, Ris. I’ll go to my room first, I need some time alone,”

“There you go.”

Gifer stood up and went to his room leaving Haris who was still worried about his best friend.

“She must be very hurt with Raya who has another lover.” Haris whispered which could not be heard by Gifer who had walked away from him while feeling the wind and also the wall.

Gifer arrived at his room, closed the door of the wooden room and walked while feeling the curtain of the room window, crossing it to the left. Although he could not see but he could immediately feel the light entering the room with luxurious goods. Gifer was still standing at the large glass window where the curtain had been drawn. Instantly his mind recalled what happened when he first met Raya and started dating her.

In a well-known school in Kendal, namely SMA Negeri Bangsaku, there are students who are in the canteen to eat and some are just hanging out while chatting. Gifer, Haris, and one of their friends, Zaky, were talking about a girl they had just met from another class. Yes, the three of them were in class A, while the girl they were after was in class D. It was indeed a long distance between class A and D. Class A contained people with high IQs whose only job was to study and learn. The girls are always forced by their parents to take private lessons every day. There is no time for dating. It’s different with these three guys. They don’t just think about studying at all. They are men, and men crave freedom. So they decided to target girls from other classes who they thought were pretty. Gifer was busy eating the instant noodles in the cup that he had just fed with a fork. But suddenly Zaky tapped his thigh, making him squint and then turn his gaze towards Zaky.

“What’s wrong?” Gifer asked briefly.

“Gif, look, there’s a really beautiful girl sitting next to us,” Zaky pointed with his chin, signaling Gifer.

“Which one?”

“That’s the one with her hair in a ponytail and bangs.”

“Oh that…”

“Dare to approach?”

“I dare,”

“Remember, don’t play with it,” Haris said.

“Since when did Gifer Fernandez play with love?”

“Hahahha, it’s worth a try Gif. Hurry up and get close,”

“Ok, ready!”

Gifer stood up from his seat, walked over to the girl who was sitting with two of her friends while laughing.

“Hi, ummm, can I meet you?” Gifer asked. The three girls were confused. Who does this guy want to meet?

“Who do you want to meet?”

“With the girl sitting in the corner,” Gifer signaled the other two girls to get out of the way. The girl sitting in the cafeteria chair in the corner smiled shyly.

“Ciee, ekhm, I’ll go first, Ray,”

“Ah, yes. Looks like I’m going back to class too, break time will be over soon,” the other girl sitting on Raya’s right and left side also left.

“Eh you guys, ishh!” The two girls left, Gifer dragged his chair to get closer to the girl, he began to extend his right hand.

“I’m Gifer Fernandez, you can call me Gifer, from class A. What’s your name? We’re in the same class by the way,” Raya accepted Gifer’s hand. Showing her sweet smile to make him feel comfortable around her.

“I’m Raya Vinancia. Ah, really? I’m actually familiar with your face too. You’re that student council member, right? I often see you pacing back and forth at the student council base camp when there’s an event,” Raya guessed. Gifer nodded as their hands were unlinked.

“Ah, yes. You recognize me?” Raya just smiled sweetly and nodded.

This is where the story began, since knowing Raya, the relationship between the two of them became closer. Gifer who started to pick up Raya every time she went to and from school. Coupled with Raya’s jealousy that made Gifer sometimes uncomfortable dealing with it. How could I not? Now Gifer was having a student council event, which had to partner with one of Gifer’s girl friends from class A. Raya had silenced Gifer just because of trivial things like that with the reason that she was worried that Gifer would turn away from her. But, when she was alone with Gifer, it wasn’t even like dating. He didn’t even want to be embraced or hugged. Then how could Gifer believe that Raya also loved him? Sometimes love blinds everything. Like this time, Raya took Gifer for a walk in a very beautiful park, Raya and Gifer took a selfie together, because they were already dating, Gifer took the initiative to embrace Raya’s shoulders.

“What the heck honey? You don’t have to hold me like this,”

“We’re already dating baby, I’m just putting my arm around you, not asking for a kiss,”

“Still, it’s not nice for people to see,”

Remembering that, made Gifer wake up from his reverie. And he just remembered, it turns out that that’s where Raya didn’t love him.

“Ah, it turns out that from the beginning, I was just being used? You idiot, why didn’t I realize it before!” Annoyed by the rough ruffling of her black hair.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
