Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

All days may be ordinary for everyone, but it’s different if the day turns out to be full of meaning with the people we love.

“Gifer!”

The man turned his head when someone called him from the left. This familiar voice was so easy for him to guess who just came and called his name. Yes, it was definitely Belvina. The girl she had been waiting for. Anggi, as Belvina’s best friend, could only follow the direction where her friend linked her hand on her wrist while walking quickly to where Gifer was standing. Unexpectedly and unexpectedly, the man also approached by walking with his stick until they met.

“I’m sorry, Gif. You must have waited a long time. We’re still not late, right?” That apology and one question from Belvina seemed to show a sense of worry. Worried, if Gifer would leave them if he waited too long earlier. But no, Gifer didn’t leave them. Instead, the blind man smiled.

“It’s okay. Besides, it seems like this tour has just opened. Because I didn’t hear the cheering sound of many people arriving. Isn’t my guess right?” Gifer’s question made Belvina cast her eyes around the tourist area, and sure enough, it was still quiet. Even the counter attendant did not show his nose.

“That’s right, Gif. You’re great, even though you can’t see, you can feel with sound,” Gifer smiled embarrassedly and asked about Belvina’s friend who was ‘said’ to be invited, but he didn’t hear the girl’s voice at all.

“Did you bring your friend here? But how come I didn’t hear her voice,” Belvina jumped in surprise and realized that she had been dragging her best friend’s arm but she never introduced her to Gifer.

The friend also didn’t make a sound since then and was just playing with her cell phone, taking some pictures from the entrance and sharing them to social media. This made Belvina feel guilty about Gifer because she thought he didn’t keep his promise. Belvina nudged Anggi’s arm. The friend immediately realized and put her cellphone in her sling bag.

“I brought it, Gif. But he’s just still shy,” Belvina tried to cover up the mistake by lying a little, err, correcting her sentence so that Gifer would not be suspicious of her gesture.

“Oh yeah, my name is Anggi,” extending her hand in front of Gifer. The master immediately accepted the hand with a smile that did not fade from his lips.

“Gifer Fernandez,” the hand link was immediately released by both parties because it was enough just for people to get acquainted.

“So your name is Gifer, by the way, Belvina always talks about you when she’s with me,” a whisper from Anggi in Gifer’s right ear made him smile even more embarrassed. His smooth white cheeks were like boiled crabs because of it. Belvina, who heard that from Anggi’s mouth, wanted to immediately gag that mouth with a cloth. How could her best friend be such a bucket, Belvina thought as she gently slapped Anna’s arm.

Plak!

“Well, you don’t have to talk about it in front of the person, Gi.” Belvina warned a little annoyed and embarrassed at the same time.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Her lips were folded in shame while smiling. Meanwhile, Anggi had chuckled a little until it didn’t make a sound. Her eyes immediately focused on the counter waiter who was already in place.

Making Belvina immediately point in that direction, impatient to get inside to enjoy a fresher and more pleasing atmosphere in the Celosia flower garden.

“Uh, let’s go in. There are already some ladies guarding the counter!” Belvina immediately pulled the hands of the two people she had invited there.

After buying a ticket, they were invited to enter. The first thing they saw was a path with red flowers blooming on the right and left as if to welcome them.

“Wow… it’s so pretty here!” Shrieked Anggi who really liked seeing the beautiful flower garden.

“At this rate, it looks like my phone’s memory will be full because it captures a lot of moments. This is really nice, Vin! Let’s go there, Vin!” Song and again, Anggi pulled the hand of Belvina who was with Gifer. Remembering that Belvina invited Gifer, Anggi tried to understand that.

“Gi, but I’m with Gifer,”

“You take a picture with Anggi, I don’t need a picture because I can’t see,” said Gifer.

“No-no! We’ll take a picture of the three of us anyway, ok?” Anggi replied. They took a 3-person selfie with Gifer on the left, Belvina in the middle, and Anggi on the right.

“Already, let’s go there together.” Anggi dragged the two people to go to a place like a lake with a building in the middle. They had to cross a bridge first to get there.

Haris was cooking in the kitchen of his apartment with Gifer. Knowing that his best friend would be home tomorrow made him already feel lonely because he had to do things only by himself, including cleaning the apartment that was dirty with dust. After doing all that, his stomach felt hungry and decided to cook instead.

“Huh… Gifer has only been gone for two days, why is he already this tired? Mm, what would be good to cook?” He asked himself while placing his thumb and index finger on his chin.

Signaling that the man with the square smile was thinking hard. How could he not? He was now standing in front of the fridge looking down to get some vegetables, but to no avail. In that rectangular, tall, thick object there was not a single vegetable that interested him to cook. There were only mustard greens, raw eggs, and carrots in the fridge. So empty, right? Usually when Gifer was around, the fridge was full of vegetables bought from the supermarket and he was free to cook anything.

“Ah… I forgot I haven’t bought vegetables yet, tomorrow with Gifer is fine. For now, just eat instant noodles with eggs and mustard greens.” She decided as she took the ingredients one by one and closed the refrigerator again. She started to boil the water, while waiting for the water to boil, Gifer cut the packet of instant noodle seasoning he made and placed it on the dining table. Not waiting long, the water boiled and he poured it in the instant noodle cup. After that, he took Teflon to fry the eggs. The eggs are cooked, it’s time for the man to eat his meal in front of the television. When he was eating one mouthful, the cell phone placed on the living room table rang. He immediately looked at who had called him. He thought it was Gifer, but his guess was wrong, it was not Gifer but Bang Martin, from the ‘Ability to Read’ foundation.

On the phone.

“Hello, what’s up Bang Martin?” He asked while sandwiching his cell phone between his right shoulder and chin.

“Haris, I’m just reminding you to come tomorrow,” hearing that, Haris almost choked on his food.

“Ah, that’s it, I’ll definitely come, just relax. But I was thinking about Gifer. What about him? Can’t he teach at your foundation anymore?” asked Haris to make sure.

“Yes, I’m not forbidding him not to teach anymore. But, the problem is that no student has applied to this foundation after that incident. I’ve put up flyers and brochures everywhere, but to no avail, I don’t know what else to do, Haris?” The person on the other side said in a sad tone, making Haris unable to bear to hear it. While chewing his noodles, he also gave advice to Bang Martin.

“Later I will discuss this with Gifer, Bang Martin just calm down. You don’t have to worry. I’ll try to persuade Gifer to come home soon and make as many sponsors as possible. If necessary, we can spread it to other cities, not just Jakarta. Okay?”

“Alright, I’ll wait for the good news, Ris, bye.”

The phone was turned off, Haris focused on chewing his food again while typing something on his cell phone. Asked someone to distribute the brochure so that Bang Martin’s foundation would not be deserted anymore.

“Gif, you have to go back soon, don’t stay in Kendal.” Softly, worry began to appear on Haris’ face at this time, considering that his best friend had not yet returned to the apartment.
