Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The white clouds had turned into blackish mega, following the color of the sky which was already dominated by black which indicated that it was already night. The atmosphere of the night at this time was so beautiful if passed together with someone you love, especially Gifer and Belvina who were currently enjoying the night in the weather that could be considered cold. Even though the rain had stopped since this afternoon, but it did not reduce the cold that penetrated into the bones of the two people who were walking. Gifer grasped Belvina’s right hand, putting it into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing. Belvina was the same, the girl was also wearing a jacket to protect her body from the bone-chilling cold.

“How late did you ask me out? In this cold weather?” Asked Belvina who was staring at her handsome lover who was still staring at the street.

Hearing Belvina say that, Gifer who was facing forward immediately turned his head towards his beloved with a smile.

“I just want to unwind, dear.” Gifer answered.

“Why? Is there a problem? How was today at the office?” Belvina asked. Gifer took out Belvina’s hand that he had been holding and swayed their linked hands.

“There are definitely problems, especially about the incident that happened to Mr. Kevin, not to mention Nara who hurt Haris and Anggi, it makes me very dizzy. Nara is always acting up, I don’t know how long she will be like that to me.” Gifer answered.

“Is that problem still not solved? Nara again. Never mind, dear. Don’t think about it.” Belvina stopped walking, caressing Gifer’s right cheek with her right hand.

“But, Nara always targets the people I love, I’m just afraid that the next target will be you, dear. I’m not ready to lose one person after another.” Gifer also stroked Belvina’s cheek. Belvina’s left hand grasped Gifer’s hand that was on her cheek.

“I’m fine, dear. I’m even more worried about you.” Belvina frowned and pursed her lips.

“Nothing will happen to me, dear. You just relax.” Gifer said with a smile. Belvina nodded obediently. Gifer released his hand that was on Belvina’s cheek, and vice versa. They went back to strolling through the cold night.

“I heard from Raya that Mr. Kevin was discharged from the hospital this morning.” Belvina said. The narrowed eyes that had been facing the road again, now looked at Belvina’s beautiful face that was highlighted by the street lights.

“Is that so? I didn’t even know about it. Raya didn’t contact me at all. Mr. Kevin didn’t contact me either. How mean of them huh.” Gifer replied by pursing his lips funny. Belvina who saw that because of anxiety pinched Gifer’s cheek and played with it.

“Hahahahaha, why are you so cute baby. I’m so excited…” Belvina said.

“A’, asshh, it hurts baby.” Gifer was annoyed while stroking his cheek which was slightly reddened by Belvina’s pinch. The sweet man even moved his lips further.

“No need to move your lips forward, asking to be kissed? Hahahaha.” Belvina teased while laughing and patting Gifer’s arm.

“Yes, if you want it, it’s okay, just kiss it.” Gifer whispered and then walked away ahead of Belvina who was still frozen in place. Processing every word that had just been said by her lover. After a few minutes the girl finally came to her senses and ran towards her lover who had walked away from her.

“Yak! Yak! Who told you to leave me oh?!” Belvina shouted, Gifer who heard Belvina’s voice turned his head briefly and laughed out loud because he managed to prank his girlfriend.

“Hahahahaha. Chase me if you can, wle.” Gifer stuck out his tongue which made Belvina even more annoyed.

On the other side, there was a girl who had just returned from work. The girl was walking alone towards the house she was currently living in with her beloved grandmother. More precisely, it was her adopted grandmother. Yes, after Rosa’s death, a few days later there was a grandmother who met a girl she had now adopted as her granddaughter. Who else if not Nova. Nova was now still thinking about something while walking on the side of the road. The girl felt that if she monologued on the street and would get an answer, but it was not at all. Her mind recalled what Bang Martin had said this afternoon when they finished teaching.

“Is it true, Mr. Gifer… is the one who gave me and Rosa the doll? So, his girlfriend’s name back then was Raya, right? I have to find this out.” Nova’s monologue.

Flashback

“Is it possible that the man you’re referring to who gave the doll was Gifer?” Bang Martin asked.

DEG!

“I-I, I don’t know what his name is, I just remember that on his school uniform nametag, his surname used to be Fernandez. Is it Mr. Gifer?” Nova said stammering while guessing.

“Gifer is indeed the surname Fernandez, his full name is Gifer Fernandez. As Haris said, Gifer is also from Kendal. Gifer founded the company GF Corp because that man has expertise in sewing, especially dolls. The owner of the company was Mr. Kevin, the father of Gifer’s girlfriend Raya. I know everything from Haris, because we have been friends for a long time.” Bang Martin explained.

Nova was still digesting every word that came out of the handsome man’s mouth. Her eyes also scanned in other directions while recalling. Then the girl was surprised, both eyeballs were wide open and because it turned out that the man she had been coveting all this time already had a lover. And even her lover’s father Gifer had dared to help the man from scratch for his business. Obviously Nova felt outmatched by Raya. That was what was on Nova’s mind at the moment.

“Wh-what? So… Mr. Gifer… is the man who gave me and Rosa that doll?” Nova tried to recall when Gifer and Raya came to the orphanage to give her and Rosa the doll.

From the way Gifer greeted, his soft voice, his sweet face. Everything Nova compared to Gifer whom she met at the GF Corp office at that time. Nova now remembered everything. Bang Martin, who saw the strangeness in Nova, gave a code by raising his eyebrows, as if saying ‘why is that?” And Nova answered,

“Yes, I remember it, Bang Martin. It’s true, it was Mr. Gifer who gave us his doll. I remember his voice and his similar face when he was in SHS back then.” Nova said.

“Is it true? But remember, Na. Gifer already has a girlfriend. You shouldn’t expect more from him. It’s true that there are many who like Gifer, especially after that man became CEO, but … Gifer is the type of person who only loves one person for life in his heart, whether it is still a lover or even a wife later. So, don’t force yourself to pursue the love of someone who doesn’t love you. Love is reciprocal, not just unrequited.” Bang Martin clearly warned Nova so that the girl would not take the wrong step. Nova nodded obediently.

Flashback END

“But, this feeling is still there for Mr. Gifer until now, if he wasn’t the CEO, maybe I could call him with the frills of Big Brother. But, that man is already the CEO, even I am not that familiar with him. Even so, why does this heart ache when knowing that he already has a girlfriend?” said Nova while tightening her left chest.

“Is it not okay if I like someone else’s lover?” Nova continued. That question, of course, no one would ever want to answer. Nova stopped in the middle of the narrow road that had been exposed to the light of the bright full moon up there. Still holding his left breast, lamenting the fate he had just found out.
