Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

If a person no longer wants to do what has disappointed him, then there is no need to force him, because that will make him suffer even more.

The early morning, preceded by the chirping of birds in the sky and chickens running around crowing, woke up people who were still in their subconscious. Actually, it wasn’t only the chickens and birds that could wake them up, but a rectangular electronic device that rang with an increasingly loud volume, deafening a girl who was still wrapped in her thick blanket. Her eyes blinked playfully, neutralizing her blurry vision into a brighter one. Her hand reached for the nightstand next to her bed. Picking up the rectangular object, sliding the ‘stop,’ button and returning it back to its place. She moved to a sitting position, her foot accidentally touching a round object with a chain for connection.

SRING!

The girl frowned in surprise. “What’s that sound?” She began to look down, the object around her foot, which she accidentally kicked earlier turned out to be the object she had been looking for all this time. His body bent down, his hand began to reach out to pick up the object, then straightened his body back up.

“Ah, I finally found the watch I’ve been looking for!” She shrieked with a smile, but soon the girl tapped her forehead as if she remembered something.

“It wasn’t left in the library or stolen by that blind man, but it did fall in my own room. How could I be this careless with my own things?” Remembering that made her giggle at having blamed the blind man when talking to her best friend at the time.

“I’ve been prejudiced against him.” She said regretfully.

Yes, that girl was Belvina, who regretted accusing Gifer of being the man who had stolen her old watch that was now in her hand. She rubbed the watch while thinking about something.

“Thinking about that blind man, it makes me think about the last time I met him at the supermarket. I wonder how he’s doing?” She paused her sentence with a wry smile.

“We haven’t seen each other in the past three months. Is it possible that she has successfully carried out her suicide? That means we’ll never see each other again because he’s gone from this world. Huh, even though he was the first man I met in this country of Jakata.” Talking to herself with a sad face.

“I can only pray, if he is still alive, please reunite me with him again, and if he is dead, please, find me with the eater. I will pray for the best for her.” she spoke in her heart by putting her palms together hopefully.

In a large mansion, there was now an old man sitting in the living room of his house along with three tall and burly young men. The goal was only one, which was to ask Gifer to return to his company which was now still held by his favorite daughter, who else but Raya. He still couldn’t accept it if Raya gave the company to her lover, Indra Wicaksana. Mr. Kevin, the old man would guarantee that this would never happen.

“You have to make sure that starting today Gifer will never get any new students and also make sure that he will never be able to teach again. Do whatever it takes, be it gently or harshly!” Mr. Kevin ordered the three men.

“Yes, sir! We guarantee that your plan will work and our work will be done today!” said one of the men on behalf of the others.

“Good, the money will follow later, after your work is done, the money will go straight into your account,” the three tall men nodded obediently.

“I just don’t want my company to fall into the hands of strangers who don’t even know about the origins of Raya’s chosen man! No, I will never let that happen!” Mr. Kevin spoke with pressure.

Raya had just parked her car in the company parking lot, eager to get to her office and try to solve the problem at hand. With her panicked face she tried to keep smiling. Preparing herself to enter the company. But suddenly both eyes were closed by someone.

“Aishh, who the hell? Don’t know if I’m busy!” Raya tightly held the hand covering her eyes and turned around.

“Honey, it’s still morning, how come you’re angry, you’ll lose your beauty,” the man teased. Who else if not Indra, Raya’s lover. He said that while smiling broadly.

“I’m in a busy phase and don’t want to be disturbed. I have a lot of work to do, dear. I’m already late, maybe we’ll talk tonight, okay? See you baby,” Raya kissed her lover’s cheek.

“Aish, I haven’t even finished talking yet, you’re just jumping in. Should I just follow you to the room? Hmm, that sounds interesting,” Indra thought. Usually Indra would go straight to Raya’s room, but this time her lover was very busy and didn’t want to be disturbed. Either she was busy taking care of a client or working on another project that was still related to the doll company.

Indra started to walk into Raya’s room. The staff and employees tried to stop him, but the tall man in the office suit insisted on entering Raya’s room.

“Sorry, Sis. But Ms. Raya doesn’t want to be disturbed. There are still many projects to be fixed and there’s a meeting with a client around 8:30. So there are still many things that need to be prepared by the secretary and Miss Raya. You can’t just walk into this room,” explained a girl in a white shirt adorned with a bow tie, as well as a black blazer and knee-length skirt, carrying several files that Raya had to sign. Indra didn’t take it well and started yelling at the girl.

“Just so you know, I’m Raya’s lover! Even this company will be mine when Raya reverses everything! You don’t have the right to control me! If Raya finds out you’re doing this, I’ll make sure you’re fired from this company!” Indra’s threat made the girl wince and bow her head in fear. The other employees who saw the commotion only whispered while occasionally watching the argument between the two.

Raya, who heard the commotion outside her room, decided to come out of the super spacious and magnificent room.

“What’s going on? What’s all the fuss about?”

“This, Miss. This young man wanted to enter Madam’s room, I forbade him because Madam was busy…”

Before she could continue her sentence, Raya simply nodded and motioned for the secretary to leave the two of them.

“But Miss, we have a meeting around 8:30 a. m.”

“I told you to go, didn’t I? Is my code still not clear to you, Sekar?” with a slightly raised tone, Raya made the secretary unable to refuse. Bowing her head slightly in deference to her superior, then straightening her head again, she walked disappointedly back to her desk.

Once Sekar arrived at her desk, she began to sit back down with her forehead furrowed and her lips forward, a sign that she was annoyed with her boss.

“Rejected again?” Asked Sekar’s friend sitting next to her.

“Yes, that’s normal, anything is done for the sake of her lover, without caring about the company that’s getting ruined!” she said in response to her friend next to her named Arum.

“Be patient, Sekar, Fighting!” Arum clenched her hands in the air, encouraging Sekar who still looked upset.

“Let’s go in, baby,”

Raya led Indra into her office. Raya walked over to her desk and sat down. Meanwhile, her lover was already sitting on the sofa, raising his legs to the table. Her hands were stretched out on the back of the soft sofa.

“Huh… just enter this room using the drama outside. This way, I can watch my lover work. Yes, dear?” Indra grumbled. Raya, who had been typing and facing her laptop, turned her gaze immediately to face her lover.

“You, I told you that we’ll meet tonight. You don’t want to, so that’s fine,” Raya rested her hands on the table. Indra approached Raya’s desk, standing to the right of her chair.

“You must be bored, dear, taking care of the company? Let’s go out tonight, refreshing,” Indra suggested, deliberately bringing his face closer to Raya’s until their eyes met.

“Yes, but I have to finish this first. You know, because the company almost went bankrupt, Dad scolded me and asked me to let the company go. And to my surprise, Father will ask Gifer to manage the company again if the company’s turnover continues to decline. That makes me furious, so inevitably I’ll have to go to the meeting so that the client doesn’t run away again like yesterday,” Raya tried to explain.

“Oh, so you’re insinuating that because of me, clients are running away because you don’t want to come to meetings? Yes?” Indra was suddenly provoked by Raya’s explanation.

“Well, I’m not insinuating, but you really like that. See now, you’re always bothering me, how can I get my work done quickly? And if this company falls into Gifer’s hands again, we won’t get anything. Expensive goods, money, and everything we want will just disappear. Not to mention that if my father blocked all my financial cards, I’d go crazy,” Raya ruffled her hair roughly.

“That’s not going to happen, honey. We have to strategize so that Gifer will no longer want to come back to this company.”

“What strategy? Do you have a plan?”

“I do, come here.” Indra whispered something in Raya’s ear. Raya who heard it immediately reacted with surprise and covered her mouth with both hands.

“Will it work?”

“Let’s try it first.”

–

It was 8:00 a. m. when Gifer started teaching with 5 blind students who were accompanied by their parents waiting outside the room. He deliberately took a few participants first to teach, as long as the students understood and could read.

“Alright, let’s start. Yesterday, how many pages have you read?” Gifer asked his students.

“Up to page 3 teacher,” they answered in unison.

“Hmm, that means now page 4 huh? Well, to test your ability, it would be better if you move forward one by one. One child one sentence on page 4. Let’s start from the far right. Rizky, let’s start!” The little boy named Rizky started moving his hand to the braille book on page 3 as instructed by Gifer. The class had just started, but suddenly there were three burly men who destroyed all the things in the classroom.

BRAK!

BRAK!

BRAK!

“Where is Gifer Fernandez? I ask you again, where is Gifer Fernandez!” with a snapping voice, the burly man grabbed the collar of Martin who was standing guard in his office serving mothers who were registering their children to his foundation. The mothers were shocked when they saw three men dressed like thugs suddenly enter the room.

“Gifer is in classroom B,”

“Drag him here!” She ordered her two burly friends.

“Okay!”

The one man who had grabbed Martin’s collar earlier now came out of the room and started inciting the parents of the blind child taught by Gifer. The parents entered the classroom and forced their children out of the room. Gifer whose arms were now held tightly by the two tall and burly men was surprised.

“What’s going on?”

“My son no longer needs to be taught by you, Gifer! It turns out your performance isn’t good, it’s no wonder my son hasn’t been able to read for a week! Try in another foundation, he’ll be able to read! If you’re incompetent as a teacher, it’s better not to do it! Huu!” Said one of the student guardians representing all the student guardians who had now dispersed from there. The three burly men smiled contentedly and released their grip from Gifer’s arm and started to leave. Gifer who didn’t understand all of this was still thinking hard. Who had done this to him?
