Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Celosia, Semarang, where Gifer, Belvina, and Anggi were. They were now at the small building in the middle of the lake after crossing a long bridge. The two of them took pictures of each other, but not Gifer who chose to lean on a wooden pole decorated with white paint while holding a rectangular object that had just been taken out of his pants pocket because it was vibrating. He immediately pressed the left button to move it up, just guessing because he couldn’t see who had called him while he was in Kendal and even though he was now on vacation in Semarang. Meanwhile, Belvina and Anggi were still busy taking pictures and using the surrounding flowers for photos.

On the phone.

“Hello, who is this?” Gifer’s face implied curiosity by frowning.

His heart rustled, just in case the person calling him was a criminal? Or even a robber? Or even Mr. Kevin, the owner of the ‘Shinning Doll’ company? If that was the case, how did he know her phone number? He asked question after question through the veins and small muscles in his skull, until the person on the other side answered.

“I’m Haris, Gif,” the face that had been full of questions and cold, instantly warmed up knowing that the one calling was her best friend, changing drastically, indeed.

“Ah, what’s up, Ris?”

“Hurry back, Gif. Bang Martin asked us to immediately get new students and teach again,”

Hearing that from her best friend made her surprised. This was a golden opportunity for her to work again and not just stay at home. But remembering the incident the other day, made Gifer still shrouded in guilt, as well as the feeling of not wanting to teach anymore. But how else? Instead of not working, he just adds to the burden of others, he thought. After thinking about it, Gifer still couldn’t go back to Jakarta anytime soon, because today he had to accompany Belvina and Anggi to take a walk to enjoy the beautiful city of Kendal and Semarang.

“Seriously? But if I go back now, I don’t think I can, Ris. Because I still want to be here,” Gifer’s rejection made the person on the other side curl his lips downward, a sign of disappointment. But he buried that feeling deeply so that his friend wouldn’t suspect his behavior. He tried to talk to Gifer as if he was happy.

“Ah, alright. Oh yeah, there’s something I want to talk to you about and I can only do it when I meet you, Gif,”

“Why don’t you just do it now? You really like to complicate things, Ris,”

“I can’t, Gif. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow. Bye Haris.”

The phone connection was cut off by the party on the other side. Gifer pressed the power button on the right side of his cell phone. Not long after, the two girls approached him who was still standing with his back against the white wood.

“Gif, why don’t you come there?” Belvina tried to pull Gifer’s right hand, but the master held her back. Anggi was also still busy taking pictures and trying to get acquainted with the people in Celosia.

“No, you go with Anggi. If it’s over let’s go home,” Belvina was a bit disappointed when Gifer invited her to go home while she still wanted to take a walk in other tours besides this flower garden. She still wanted to visit delicious places that had a lot of traditional food and drinks that she might like if she went there. She released her grip on Gifer’s wrist.

“No! I don’t want to go home now. I still want to enjoy the food around Semarang here,” Belvina rejected Gifer’s invitation with a disappointed sigh.

“Ah, what I mean by going home is going somewhere else, hehe. There’s really nothing here except seeing flowers. So since I can’t see, that’s why I don’t want to come with you guys,”

“Ah so that’s it, alright. Let’s get out of here,” Gifer was surprised. Didn’t he hear it wrong? Belvina invited him out while Anggi was still there.

“Huh? Then what about your best friend? Where is he? I didn’t hear his voice,”

“Oh yeah, I forgot, hehe. Alright, I’ll go to my best friend first. You don’t go anywhere.” Belvina’s order seemed to be a talisman or even a mantra that he had to remember at all times.

Gifer just nodded, agreeing to what Belvina had told him. Some time later, Belvina had pulled her friend to meet Gifer.

It didn’t take long to get to the roadside in the city of Semarang. The three of them had started ordering food such as snacks that Gifer and Belviba bought yesterday near the Falah orphanage. They were enjoying their vacation. As usual, Anggi was engrossed in her own world and left Gifer and Belvina who were eating and sitting on a bench near the crepe food seller.

“This food is very popular,” said Belvina after eating one bite of her crepes. Gifer reflexively turned his head towards the source of the voice, which was to his right and faced the other person.

“Really? It looks good, I’ll try it first,” Gifer tried one bite of the krepes he carried in his right hand.

“Yes, Gif, try it, it’s good,”

“Hmm, this is too sugary. But it’s good, it doesn’t taste bad,” Gifer continued his meal.

“Yes, it’s too sweet, like you,” After saying that, Belvina was a little embarrassed and covered her mouth with her left hand. She hoped Gifer wouldn’t hear what she just said.

“What?” Asked Gifer, the girl on his right was already misbehaving and tried to change the subject.

“Eh? It’s okay, hehe. By the way, are you coming to work tomorrow, Gif?”

“That should be what I want to ask you,” Belvina was a little surprised because it turned out that the man next to her also wanted to ask her the same thing. Meanwhile, the man next to her just gulped his saliva roughly while scratching his suddenly itchy nape while smiling slightly.

“Huh? I have to leave already, so I’ll probably be home in the afternoon,” Gifer widened his eyes in surprise until he frowned, making his eyebrows come together.

“Later in the afternoon?”

“Yes, why?”

“Can I come? Ah, I mean, I have an apartment in Jakarta too, when I go back there I want to take the same train as you guys,” Gifer tried to explain to the other person. Meanwhile, the other person just nodded in understanding and tried to neutralize his heartbeat.

‘What?’ He wants to come back to Jakarta in the afternoon? Oh my God, please, my heart is about to fall because I have to be alone with him, let alone later? Aaa, I want to shout as loud as I can that I can be friends with a man like Gifer.’ Belvina shouted in her heart.

Because her question had not been answered by Belvina, it made Gifer uncomfortable and started the conversation.

“Why are you silent? Can’t you? Ah, it’s okay. I can go back by myself,” Gifer lowered his head disappointedly.

“No, of course you can, Gif. Don’t be sad, yes, I will always help you no matter what,” Belvina lifted Gifer’s face with both hands.

Their eyes met, but unfortunately, Gifer couldn’t see Belvina’s beautiful face. He could only feel the touch of the girl’s hand on his chin to his cheek. Instantly Belvina’s tears fell down her cheeks. She looked up at Gifer’s face, examining everything on that handsome and smooth white face.

“Thank you, Vina.” The man held Belvina’s wrist with a smile.

‘I promise, I will try to find an eye donor for you, Gif. It doesn’t matter which country or even our own. I want you to be able to see again, if not see me, at least you can see the surrounding nature and other positive things that you like.’ Belvina said silently.
