Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Time and the sun do seem to go hand in hand, until without being felt it turns out that now the sun is already in the middle of the earth, the heat is so felt that it pierces the skin of a girl who is currently wearing a long light blue blouse combined with white pants that form her curves. A sling bag in the same color as her blouse and don’t forget her white sneakers. Her shoulder-length brown hair was blown by the wind until her bangs were also blown away. She was Nova.

“Huh… finally arrived here too. But, is this company’s address correct? Is this where the person who helped grandmother by paying all our debts works?” Nova wondered while flipping through the address he had just gotten from the person he asked earlier on the road to the company he was currently standing in. Nova also looked up at the large writing of the company on the top floor.

“This company seems familiar. But, where have I heard and known about it? Is it from Bang Martin? Hmm, I don’t know. The important thing is to go in first.” Nova tried to remember while folding her arms across her chest. Nova also walked towards the company lobby and asked the lobby guard.

“Excuse me, want to ask, I want to meet the CEO of this company, is it okay?” Nova asked.

“Do you have an appointment with Mr. Gifer?”

“Mr… Gifer?” Nova asked slightly pausing her sentence. The girl also seemed familiar with the name.

“Yes, his name is Mr. Gifer Fernandez.”

“I haven’t made an appointment with Mr. Gi… fer. Is it still possible to meet?” That certainly made the lobby guard think twice about letting Noba in, and then called Sekar to talk to Gifer about it. After the call, the lobby guard then told Nova.

“It just so happens that Mr. Gifer is not too busy today, you can meet him in the waiting room located on the 4th floor of this building. There will be a waiting room writing, you just go into the room.” Said the Lobby guard.

“Ah, alright. Thank you, I’ll be right there.”

Nova immediately took the elevator and went up to the 4th floor to meet with Gifer. Of course she didn’t know that this company belonged to Gifer, a blind man who used to work at Bang Martin’s Ability to Read Foundation. The elevator opened, Nova walked towards the room that the lobby guard had mentioned earlier.

“Isn’t this the room?” Nova tried to open the door.

Check!

“It’s quiet, I hope this is the room, so I don’t get angry, hehehe.” Nova’s monologue. The girl sat on the sofa in the room while playing with her cellphone. While waiting, Nova typed a message to Bang Martin that she was not leaving today because she had important business.

“This impromptu permission, won’t Bang Martin be angry? Usually he will nag me more, aishh. You idiot, why didn’t you tell him earlier?” Nova cursed with herself while ruffling her hair roughly.

Not waiting long, the door to the room suddenly opened. Making Nova squint in surprise and suddenly face the direction of the door that was opened earlier. Nova also stood up to welcome the presence of Gifer and Haris who were approaching him. When they were close, of course Nova frowned in confusion. They were men she knew while working at Bang Martin’s foundation.

“You are, Nova?” Haris pointed.

Obviously, it certainly made Gifer turn his head towards his best friend with a confused face while frowning.

“Do you know this girl, Ris?” Gifer asked.

Nova was a little surprised, was the one standing next to Haris Gifer? Didn’t Gifer used to be blind? Nova thought.

When Haris called her name, suddenly Nova also pointed at Haris and tried to remember when she used to work at Bang Martin’s place.

“Haris? You? Then, who is Mr. Gifer?” Asked Nova who was still very confused. Even Gifer’s question earlier, Haris had not answered it.

“Ah, it would be better if we sit down, wouldn’t it?” Gifer offered.

“Oh yeah, sorry Gif, I totally forgot.” Haris said with his square smile.

“Please sit down first.” Gifer invited him to sit down and he also sat down.

“So, what exactly is your purpose here Miss Nova?” Gifer asked.

“Well, actually I’m still confused about all this, but I’ll explain the core of the reason why I came here.” Gifer and Haris were seen nodding obediently.

“So, I just wanted to find a tall man who had helped my grandmother to pay off her debt last Friday night. Grandma said he was an office worker, and I tried to come here first, who knows if he’s a worker of this company, right? I just wanted to make sure. Then secondly, is it true that the owner of this company is Mr. Gifer? Then, where is he now?” Nova asked full of curiosity.

Haris who heard that was already giggling while putting his right fist in front of his mouth. Gifer who saw Haris’ strange behavior also stared strangely and nudged Haris’ arm.

“Are you crazy? Why are you laughing in a serious situation?”

“Hey, Nova. You mean the grandmother whose house is in that narrow alley, is it really your grandmother?” Instead of getting an answer, he got another question, making Nova sick actually, but for the sake of Haris, inevitably Nova had to answer it.

“Yes, Ris. That is my grandmother, and I also live there. Wait a minute, are you the one who paid off all of my grandmother’s debts? Or Mr. Gifer?”

“Me, I’m the one who paid it off, Nova.”

“Ah, so it’s you. Thank you very much, Ris. You’ve freed us from Yohanes’ debt.”

“Yes, I just found out that the old lady was your grandmother. Oh yeah, are you still working with Bang Martin?” Haris asked.

“I still do.”

Gifer who had been ignored was still frowning in confusion.

‘Why do they look so familiar?” He thought.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Ris, can you explain who she is?”

“Gif, geez, have you really forgotten oh?”

“Forgot what huh? Speak clearly.”

“She’s Nova, a friend we worked with at Bang Martin’s Ability to Read Foundation.” Gifer seemed to be trying to remember her.

“Is it really that guy Gifer? Wasn’t he blind at that time?” Nova innocently said so in front of Gifer while blinking her eyes several times to make sure.

“Yes, he’s the Gifer you knew at the foundation too.”

“Ah, I remember! Yes, I used to be blind and worked at the foundation. We met there once, together with Haris. And I’m grateful that I can see again now. I didn’t realize that we already knew each other. Finally we met again by accident like this. Nice to see you again, Nova.” Gifer said. Nova also felt guilty for speaking that might hurt Gifer.

“Yes, I’m sorry, Gifer. I really didn’t know that Mr. Gifer was you. Thankfully now that you can see again, I’m happy too.” Nova replied while looking down for fear that Gifer would get angry if he continued to mention about his blindness.

“Never mind, Gif. No need to be so formal, after all, the three of us were work partners before.” Haris replied.

“Yes, Ris. I know that.” While they were chatting, Gifer suddenly remembered something and looked at the armlets on his right hand.

“Ris, we have a meeting with a client around 10:30!” Gifer shouted.

“Oh yeah, Gif! Sorry, Nova. We have to go. If you want to meet us, it’s better to do it outside working hours. I’m really sorry.” Haris replied.

“Yes, I’m sorry in advance, Nova.” Gifer said. The two men immediately stood up.

“So, since the matter about the debt repayment with your grandmother is over, you also know who has paid who, so, Haris and I will take a break first, sorry. And I’ll excuse myself.” Gifer tried to remain formal because this was still an office environment. So the man had to be very careful with his manners.

“Alright, Mr. Gifer. Thank you for the time.” Gifer just smiled and left with Haris trailing behind him.

“Somehow I feel like I’ve met Gifer before he worked at the foundation. I don’t know, maybe it’s just my feeling.” Nova’s monologue when Gifer and Haris had left the waiting room.
