Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The blue sky has been covered by white clouds that are getting thicker and thicker over the entire city of Jakarta, the tabebuya flowers are starting to fall little by little, releasing pollen that smells so distinctive that anyone who inhales it already knows that it belongs to the cherry blossoms. The wind was blowing lightly, caressing every strand of hair of the sweet man who was getting ready to go to Kendal in his car. He was arranging some bags for his parents in Kendal. He put them in the trunk of the car. Closed the trunk and started driving.

“I don’t think there’s anything left behind.” The sweet man tried to remember whether there was anything left behind or not.

“I don’t think so.”

Gifer, the sweet man immediately drove his car towards Kendal city. It took several hours to get to Kendal, Central Java.

Raya was now in her room, on a holiday like this she used to sleep until noon. Even her lover who had called her many times did not answer. The last phone call with Gifer was last Friday, her lover called just to offer her to come to Kendal or not, and Raya said she would not come.

Usually Raya would come while reminiscing about her school days in Kendal with Gifer. But today the girl was not interested in going with Gifer at all. She had her own mission with Nara that she would do tomorrow. So, today she saved her energy for that by sleeping. While she was still sleeping, the door was suddenly opened by her father, Mr. Kevin. Mr. Kevin knew that Gifer was going to Kendal today, so he woke Raya up to go with Gifer.

“Raya, wake up, it’s morning, son,” the father tried to wake up his daughter by shaking her shoulders.

“Tsk, what the heck, Dad, it’s a holiday, why are you waking me up? It’s still early anyway,” Raya said while glancing at the wall clock in her room while moving her lips forward, she was annoyed because when she was woken up like this she could never fall asleep again.

“Don’t you want to come with Gifer to Kendal? Reminisce about your school days there?” Her father asked.

“No, anyway why go to Kendal if only to reminisce about the past? Let bygones be bygones, why should I remember. Never mind, let’s just focus on your work, don’t disturb my sleep, okay?” Raya said while covering her whole body with the thick white blanket she was wearing. Mr. Kevin just shook his head at his daughter’s unruly attitude.

“Okay, then I’ll go to the study. Don’t forget to have breakfast. If you’re hungry, go straight to the kitchen. Aunt Chelsie is already there to prepare breakfast,” Mr. Kevin advised before walking out of Raya’s room.

Actually, the middle-aged man loved his daughter so much that he didn’t want her to be influenced by negative things. Mr. Kevin also chose Gifer as Raya’s lover because of Gifer’s good background, therefore he didn’t want the relationship between the two of them to be strained or even broken up, because Mr. Kevin didn’t want Raya to get a man who couldn’t be as good as Gifer after breaking up with Gifer. No, that can’t happen. After being left by her father, Raya called someone.

“How did it go? Did our plan come true?” Asked Raya.

“So,” replied the person on the other side.

“How about we do it tomorrow?” Raya asked again.

“Well, that’s a very good idea. I’ll prepare everything first together with my messenger,” said the person on the other side.

“Ready.”

Gifer had arrived at Kendal, he looked at the surrounding scenery filled with sea water, he took the initiative to stop at a beach. Getting out of the car for a while and seeing the beach view wouldn’t take much time, right? That was what was on Gifer’s mind at the moment. He wanted to clear his mind from the negative thoughts that had been haunting him after Raya refused to be touched at that time. He tried to forget that moment and still loved Raya. Positive thinking will always keep you in good things.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful here at the beach,” Gifer took out his cell phone from his pants pocket, took pictures of the scenery and also occasionally took selfies and showed those pictures to his lover.

“It’s been a long time since I went back to Kendal and only struggling with laptops, meetings and work files makes me happy, at least today I can be healing even without Raya,” Gifer smiled wryly when he remembered that his girlfriend didn’t want him to go to Kendal together. Even though reminiscing a little bit about the past will also be able to relieve stress and fatigue in living life. After enjoying the view of Kendal city, more precisely the beach, Gifer immediately rushed back to his house.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Not waiting for long, he arrived in front of his house, his mother immediately came out of the house and welcomed her son who had called her earlier.

“Gifer?” She called.

“Mom!” Called Gifer too.

“Thank God, you have arrived safely, son,” the mother rubbed Gifer’s chubby cheeks and hugged him.

Gifer returned his mother’s hug by smiling happily because he could finally meet his parents. Because he didn’t see his father’s presence, Gifer wandered his eyes, let go of his mother’s hug and asked.

“Where’s Dad, Mom?” Gifer asked. His mother tried to explain it.

“Ah, your father is inside, taking care of some plants at the back of the house. There are some plants that are ready to be harvested,” said his mother.

“Oh, really? Ah, I can’t wait to harvest them with my father,” Gifer replied with a happy expression.

“Alright, let’s go inside first, dear,”

They both entered the house and immediately met their father.

“Daddy!” Called Gifer while waving his hand towards his father who was harvesting peppers. The one who was called immediately turned to the source of the voice.

“Oh? Gifer?” The father immediately walked towards his only son who had just returned home after a long career in the city of Jakarta. The father hugged his son briefly and let go, holding both of his son’s narrow shoulders happily, seeing his son back in good health.

“I thought you wouldn’t come back with all the work Mr. Kevin has given you, Gif,” said his father.

“If anything, I’ll never forget Mom and Dad. I will definitely come back. Look, your son is back, isn’t he?” Gifer smiled.

“Yes, you’re back, you’re getting more and more handsome, Gif. Must have a girlfriend already?” Asked the father.

“You see, Gifer is still with Raya, Dad. The one from school, Mr. Kevin’s son,” said his mother, replying to his father.

“Oh, is that right? Understandably, I’ve forgotten, haha. Is it true, Gif?”

“Yes, Father. I’m still with Raya. I was going to invite her here, but Raya had a sudden business, so maybe it’s just sometime,” said Gifer.

“Well, now you rest, dear. You must be tired.”

“Alright, Gifer go to the room first, Dad, Mom.” Both parents just nodded.

Night came, when Gifer was in his dream, suddenly his cell phone rang, making him forced to open his eyes wide.

“Aissh, who’s calling at this time of night?” He grumbled. She immediately picked up the phone.

“Hello, why are you calling at this time of night, Raya? You can tomorrow, I’m sleepy,”

“You can’t, Gif. I just want you to come back to Jakarta tomorrow and accompany me shopping. If you don’t, we’ll break up!” Raya threatened on the phone.

“Aishh, yes.. all right. Around what time?”

“At 09:00 you have to be in Jakarta, I don’t want to know!”

“Yes, I’ll come tomorrow.”

“That’s right, watch out if you lie,”

“Yes.”

“That’s it, good night.”

The phone was closed, Gifer immediately threw his body back on the bed and fell asleep.
