Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The sun slowly began to hide its presence and rays, replaced by the moon that was ready to illuminate the sky that was slowly turning black. The moon looks happy because she can emit her own aura at night. Not only the moon, but the stars were the same, they could emit a beam of light too, but the difference was that the stars were always smaller than the moon.

A girl in her nightgown was dreamily looking up at the moonlit and star-studded sky on the balcony of her hotel room. She smiled, as if she had won a national competition.

Her friend was still in the hotel room thinking about what to eat tonight. Instead of helping, she was daydreaming on the balcony of her room, smiling occasionally. Seeing the strangeness in her friend on the balcony, Anna stepped over to where her friend was standing.

“Heh, Vin. What’s wrong with you? In a trance? I’ve noticed that if you’re not looking at the sky, you’re smiling to yourself. Wow, aren’t you sick?” Anggi pressed the back of her hand to her friend’s forehead.

“What the hell, Anggi. You’re just disturbing me, I’m really happy, you know,” Belvina also let go of Anggi’s hand which was still pressed against her forehead.

“What are you happy about? Don’t you have any intention of telling me?” Anggi asked curiously while looking at Belvina’s eyes seriously.

“If I tell you, you won’t believe me.”

“What was it about?”

“I know, today I met Gifer,”

“What? Is that true? Why didn’t you invite me?” Anggi asked enthusiastically.

“I asked you yesterday to take care of the hotel, hehe,”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Oh, so that’s why you left me to take care of all your stuff to this hotel?”

“Yes, hehe,”

“So pretentious to say there is business, eh it turns out to be a love affair, ekhm-ekhm,” Anggi quipped while smiling at Belvina, which was immediately reciprocated by a push on Anggi’s shoulder. Belvina also became misbehaved if she remembered the moments with Gifer.

“Heh, I didn’t say love,”

“So what, didn’t I tell you that the more you hate someone, the more you’ll love them in the future, Vin,” it was true, Anggi’s words had been heard by Belvina before.

“But that’s just a myth of Indonesian society, Gi,” Belvina replied as if she still didn’t believe the myth she was currently experiencing.

“Mythical but real, right? And it happened, hahahaha. I’m getting suspicious here. Maybe this is the effect of the prayer you sent at Monas?” guessed Anggi while putting her index finger to her chin.

“Heh, I didn’t say that I like Gifer, after all, my prayer at Monas at that time didn’t ask for an annoying man to be brought in. But Gifer was really annoying when we first met,”

“Well you just said that. Never mind Vin, no need to be evasive, hahahaha,” Anggi laughed.

“Aish, no, Anggi. Oh yeah, let’s go buy something to eat, I’m hungry, you know.”

“Want to change the subject?”

“What the hell? No, come on, do you want hotel food or out of the hotel?” Asked Belvina seriously, this time there was no hint of laughter or jokes.

“Just hotel food, who knows if it’s good, right? Besides, I’m really lazy to leave the hotel, which may not necessarily get the food we want,”

“Ok, ready, go straight with clothes like this?” Asked Belvina again.

“Heh, yeah no lah, do you want to be kidnapped by masher?” Anggi asked back which made Belvina chuckle instantly.

“Well, if it’s other countries, I might still consider it because I have a lot of money, hahaha,” Belvina said originally which made Anggi widen her eyes with a bit of annoyance printed on her beautiful face facing Belvina’s attitude which sometimes made her want to rub her shoulders.

“Heh, you’re just thinking about money by the way. Come on. I won’t be able to eat.”

In another place, Gifer was also thinking about the incident this afternoon together with Belvina. The difference was, Gifer was thinking about it in his room while occasionally smiling. His mother suddenly opened the door to his room.

Ceklek!

The sound of the door being opened made Gifer slightly shudder in surprise, his reverie was broken. Curiosity about who came to his room dominated him now.

“Gifer, why are you smiling to yourself like that? In love? With Raya?” Instantly, Gifer’s smile that had been expanding became faded.

No, it wasn’t because he didn’t like his mother’s arrival in his room, but when she mentioned the name of his ex-girlfriend that instantly made Gifer’s heart pinched. Gifer turned around and walked forward with his cane to the place where his mother was standing, which was at the doorway.

“No, not Raya, Mom. Raya and I broke up a long time ago. Even Mr. Kevin has taken away everything he ever entrusted to me, the company, the position as CEO all taken away because I can’t see like I used to. Raya is the same, she left me when I needed a lot of support especially from the people I love, but she didn’t accept that I was blind, she preferred to end the relationship with me and now has another man,” Gifer tried to explain while smiling wryly, a smile full of lies in front of his mother. How could I not? Hearing that, his mother could feel the pain her son felt. The mother stroked the shoulder of the son who was taller than her.

“That’s the story of life, son. Everything you see and hear, it’s a test of life that you have to live, stay patient and become a strong human being. Even though you can’t see anymore, but make your eyes a shield to tell everything. Your eyes can make others understand all your circumstances. Starting from pleasure or sadness. I hope, you don’t get too lost in sadness anymore, turn your sadness into enthusiasm and joy, because happiness starts from simple things.” The mother’s explanation was immediately accepted by Gifer.

“Yes, mom is right. And I’m now feeling the simple things that make me happy when I’m in trouble,” said Gifer with a bright smile on his face. The mother’s smile also began to expand. More and more curious about the person who managed to make Gifer’s heart melt after being dropped several times by the bitter reality of life.

“Oh really? You don’t want to tell me? Who is this girl who has made your son happy? Ah, I’m getting jealous.”

“Ah, not yet, Mom. I’m just still admiring her, hehe,”

“Ah, it turns out that your son is in love, huh?”

“What the hell mom, I already said that I only admire, not love,”

“Hahaha, well, if he already loves, it would be better to introduce him to us immediately. So that we know if she’s a good girl or not,”

“Yes, Mother.”
