Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

A tall man had just gotten out of the luxury car he was driving feeling happy because he heard that his friend had come home. He also remembered that the car he was driving now belonged to his best friend, so he played with the keys while walking towards the elevator. Who else if not Haris who had just returned from work.

In the man’s mind now was to meet with his friend and tell him about the situation he experienced during his time as CEO which he thought was complicated. The elevator he was riding had now reached the intended floor, namely the 14th floor. Taking out his right foot first followed by his left foot.

Then walked as usual until he arrived at the door of the apartment, filled in the password and entered the apartment. When he saw that all the lights had been turned on, Haris naturally thought that his friend was home.

“I’m home!!!” Haris shouted deliberately with his deep voice so that the Friend would also immediately meet him. But to no avail, there was absolutely no response from Gifer. That made Haris frowned.

“Where is that Gifer? Is it possible that Gifer hasn’t come home yet and I forgot to turn off the lights when I left for work?” Haris wondered. Haris tried to remember the incident this morning before leaving for work.

“No ah, Gifer must have come home. I remember very well that I turned off all the lights when I was leaving for work. Yes, I remember that very well.” Haris said confidently.

With a standing position and carrying his work bag, Haris tried to look for Gifer throughout the room. His final destination was Gifer’s room which was still closed.

“I’m going to open it, if Gifer has come home, Gifer will definitely lock the door, if it’s still unlocked, it means that the man hasn’t arrived at the apartment and I forgot to turn off the lights this morning.” Haris’ monologue, when he was about to open the door of Gifer’s room, a cute man with a purple T-shirt and a picture on his chest pulled him from inside making Haris surprised.

“Oh my! You scared me, Gif!” Haris said while still holding his chest that was beating so fast in surprise. The sweet man in front of him just smiled while showing his white teeth.

“Hehehehe, yeah sorry, Ris.”

“Aissh, lucky my best friend, otherwise I would have taken you to the sea.” Haris said with a smile and walked towards his own room.

There was no conversation after that between them because they did their respective activities. Haris who was in the room for a long time to take a shower and also change clothes, while Gifer who was watching television. Gifer’s cell phone had been given to him by Belvina before they parted at the airport, but Gifer was reluctant to touch it until now.

As if he didn’t care about what news he always received every day. That certainly could not be separated from the sight of Haris who had just come out of his room and saw Gifer watching television. No, that’s not what Haris was wondering, but the Friend who looked like a daydreamer. The television was indeed on, but the eyes of the Friend were not on the television program. Haris also tried to approach Gifer who was still daydreaming on the living room sofa and tried to ask him about it.

“Gif! Hey, why are you daydreaming oh? You’ll get possessed by the devil and then you’ll know the taste.” Haris said while patting the narrow shoulder. Gifer who was surprised immediately shook his head.

“Huh? Nothing, Haris.” Gifer tried to lie to Haris, just like Gifer lied to his girlfriend, Belvina.

Gifer lied not without reason, but indeed to cover up all the events he experienced while in New York, especially the incident that night with Nara. Gifer still couldn’t tell that. Yes, even though Gifer knew that if he kept the carcass for too long, it would smell too, but what else could he do? Gifer had to keep quiet for now. Haris knew that Gifer was lying to him.

“I know, you’re lying, Gif. I’ve known you for a long time, maybe you can lie to others, but not to me, Gif. Tell me everything, what you experienced in New York, don’t keep it to yourself, I know, weren’t you happy there?” Said Haris who was now sitting next to Gifer.

“I’m confused, Ris. Where to start telling the story. Everything is so painful for me.” Gifer said, bowing his head sadly.

“Why is that Gif? Just tell me from the beginning. From when you were kidnapped until now.” Haris’ words this time seemed forceful, but, it was the only thing he could do in order to know about the problem that Gifer had been feeling all this time. Gifer faced Haris. Trying to say something but instantly his mind doubted it.

“It’s a very long story, Ris. But, I will tell it.”

“Yeah, I’ll listen.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Tae, I love Belvina very much, you know that right? But… I have to hide this from her.”

“What are you hiding, Gif?”

“While in New York, they actually treated me well, they didn’t torture me at all, no, not at all. They just locked me up in a pretty fancy house. But what I don’t understand and what really makes me disappointed with them is that Mr. Kiano is still working with Mr. Mirza.”

“You mean, Mr. Mirza?”

“Yes, and you know, by using Mr. Mirza they deliberately made me sleep with Nara last night.” Gifer said while ruffling his hair roughly.

Gifer was completely devastated. Devastated because he felt lied to and also forced to sleep with Nara under the influence of alcohol. Haris immediately widened his eyes. Yes, maybe people are used to hearing or even witnessing a man and a woman who are not his girlfriend dare to sleep together and as long as they wear a safety net. But Gifer actually didn’t want that. Gifer only wanted to do that with the girl he loved, not with Nara. Gifer still regretted and felt very guilty about his girlfriend.

“Wh-what?” Haris stammered because he was surprised to hear Gifer’s story. Gifer had guessed that his friend would be shocked when he heard this, especially Belvina who was his own girlfriend. Surely the girl would be even more hurt to hear it.

“Yes, Ris. I really didn’t realize because last night Nara deliberately tricked me by giving me alcoholic drinks that had been mixed with stimulants, it felt like my body was burning from the heat that spread. I really didn’t do it on purpose, I… ARGGH! I hate myself, Ris!” Gifer said by scooping up his face which was already covered in sweat from telling all that.

It was hard for Gifer to share his story with other people, let alone a problem like this. Maybe if it was just a trivial problem like office and romance, Gifer would tell it normally. This was about a heinous act for him. Gifer was indeed a good boy all this time, drinking alcohol to calm his emotions had become his habit, but not with stimulant drugs. He really regretted his actions this time.

“Did Nara give it to you directly? Can’t you refuse it, Gif?” Gifer shook his head.

“No, Ris. Kiano gave it to me, as a courtesy to the elder Mr. Mirza since we were discussing work matters, I could only obey while drinking the alcohol they gave me, but I was wrong. They all conspired to make me sleep with Nara.”

“Gosh, this is too much, you were set up on purpose, Gif.”

“I was set up from the start, Ris. I was just too stupid not to realize it. ARRGHH!” Gifer pulled her black hair that was already loose. Haris tried to calm him down by releasing the tug. Haris didn’t want Gifer to be like before, losing hope in life and wanting to kill himself on the bridge.

“Already, Gif. Don’t think about it too much, forget what happened last night, forget Nara. Now that you’re here, in Indonesia, don’t think about things that have passed.” Said Haris who had managed to grasp Gifer’s hand.

“Ris, I can’t tell it to Belvina. Belvina who has given everything to me. Love, affection, eyes, everything Belvina sacrificed for me. Then what am I? I let down her trust, Ris… hikss.. hiks.. hiks..” Gifer’s tears flowed even more from those narrow eyelids.

“Already Gif, there’s me. If you can’t tell it to Belvina, I’ll try to explain it to Belvina little by little later.” Hearing that Gifer immediately shook his head.

“No, I’ll tell her, but not now. I have to wait for the right time for that.” Gifer decided confidently.
