Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The rain had started to subside, the clouds had begun to disperse from each other so as not to gather and produce water droplets anymore. The water droplets had been drained because they had spilled on the earth. It certainly made a cute man in a white T-shirt combined with jeans decide to leave the house. The man was bored if he had to stay in the apartment. After knowing that he was left by Haris at work because his best friend sent him a message, Gifer decided to leave the house immediately and wanted to catch up with Taehyung at the office. Gifer was now on the ground floor of the apartment. But Gifer remembered that his car was also being taken by his best friend.

“Aisshh, why did I forget that Haris also borrowed my car?” Gifer said while ruffling his hair roughly out of annoyance.

“Hah… no need to go to the office. Besides, the rain stopped at this hour. I’ve already worked half a day.” Gifer glanced at the watch that was currently coiled in his left hand.

“At 12:30, it’s already half a day’s work for working people. What kind of CEO leaves at this hour?” Gifer grumbled while trying to find a solution.

“Belvina must be working too. Anyway, let’s go to the convenience store.” Gifer decided.

Gifer immediately walked to the mini market which was close to his apartment. While walking, Gifer suddenly met Raya and Indra who were walking from the parking lot of a restaurant. From a distance, Raya already thought that it was Gifer. Raya saw from the man’s posture which was much shorter than her boyfriend, Indra, and the style that Gifer usually used. Raya decided to stop while patting her lover’s arm.

Puk! Puk! Puk!

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Indra asked as he furrowed his brow and immediately faced Raya with a questioning gaze. He didn’t take his eyes off the shorter man who was walking closer to them.

“Honey, isn’t that Gifer?” Asked Raya as she narrowed her eyes even more and pointed at Gifer who was getting closer. Gifer had also guessed that it was Raya because she had been looking at him from a distance.

“Yes, it’s Gifer.” Indra said. Gifer was already close to them.

“Raya? Indra? Are you guys here?” Asked Gifer who had just arrived at their place.

“Ah, yes. Thankfully, you’re back, Gif. We were also worried about you suddenly disappearing, making everyone worried. But thankfully, you’re back safely now.” Raya said.

“Yes, we looked for you even at Kiano and Nara’s house, but didn’t find you at all.” Said Indra. Gifer smiled, showing his white teeth while scratching his suddenly itchy nape.

“Hehehe, I’m sorry for inconveniencing you all with my sudden departure.” Gifer said.

“No problem, Gif. Just relax, hehehe. Uh by the way, where are you going? Not going to work?” Asked Raya curiously because after returning, Gifer didn’t immediately go to work.

“I’m going to the convenience store, to buy supplies that are running out in the refrigerator.” Gifer answered.

“Ah, I thought you were just going for a walk.” Indra said.

“No, hehe. Anyway, you guys must be having lunch. Sorry if I interrupted your time, I’ll just go first, hehe. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me.” Gifer said as he continued his journey slowly. Raya and Indra nodded.

“You’re welcome, be careful.” Raya and Indra said at the same time. Gifer nodded and continued walking towards the mini market.

Days passed, and before we knew it, a month had passed. Nara’s illness worsened, so much so that there wasn’t a day that went by without her lying down in the hospital. Coughing up blood every day had become Nara’s daily food. Kiano is even very dizzy just thinking about how to get his sister to recover quickly. Like this morning, Nara was being examined by a doctor. Kiano could only wait outside the VIP ward with Yohanes. Sitting on one of the long chairs that could be occupied by several people.

“Nara’s illness is getting worse, two days can feel good, but yesterday it got worse again. I’m confused, because our father wasn’t like this before. In fact, it was worse for our father who could even vomit blood every day. But Nara didn’t feel any of these symptoms. I’m definitely worried and scared if Nara has the same fate as our father.” Kiano said to his while massaging his forehead. Yohanes tried to digest what Kiano said.

“Maybe Nara’s tuberculosis is different from Mr. Billy’s. It could be that Nara can still be cured. Think positive, don’t overload your mind with bad things.” Yohanes advised. Kiano nodded. While they were talking, the sudden sound of a door opening made them immediately turn their eyes towards the door. Kiano immediately got up from his sitting position and walked up to the doctor.

“How is my brother, Doc?” Kiano asked with great hope. The doctor didn’t dare to say it yet, smacking his lips before telling Kiano and Yohanes.

“Miss Nara’s condition is getting worse day by day, even though we have also done therapy and also given drugs that are in accordance with the recommendations. But it’s not that easy to treat the Tuberculosis virus. The virus that is attached to Miss Nara’s lungs has spread, even half of the lungs are affected. If possible, you should not get too close to the patient. Every time the patient coughs, it can spread to you. You should wear a mask when you want to treat the patient. Tomorrow I will check the progress of today’s therapy again.” The doctor advised.

“All right, Doctor. Thank you.” Kiano said and afterward the tall man immediately entered the VIP room that was now being occupied by his younger brother. Not forgetting the doctor’s advice, Kiano and Yohanes also wore masks so as not to contract the Tuberculosis virus. They could see that Nara was now lying down, her eyes open with her nose stuffed with an oxygen hose. Seeing Kiano and Yohanes visiting her wearing masks, made Nara wonder.

“You guys are wearing masks? Ah .. surely so as not to get the disease that is currently eating away at my body, right?” Nara said while smiling wryly. It hurt Kiano’s heart to hear that. He really couldn’t relax if Nara hadn’t recovered.

“The doctor advised us to do that. I’m sorry Nara, we didn’t mean to offend you, but this is the doctor’s order.” Yohanes said.

“Yes, I understand. No problem.” While she was talking, Nara suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She covered her mouth with the hand that was currently being infused.

“Uwek!”

“Nara, what’s wrong with you?” Her brother asked frantically.

“I don’t know, brother. I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach and my head is so dizzy.” Nara replied.

“Uwek!”

“Uwek!”

“Uwek!”

Nara’s nausea intensified, leaving Kiano and Yohanes confused because there was no blood or anything in her mouth. It was just normal nausea, but it was happening over and over again.

“Kiano, try calling a doctor!” Yohanes said.

“No need, Yohanes. I’m fine, I’ll get better after this.” Nara said.

“But, your condition is getting worse, Nara.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Kiano, don’t you think Nara is pregnant?” Yohanes said but only a whisper in Kiano’s right ear. Kiano widened his eyes in disbelief.

“Wh-what?”
