Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

When problems come thick and fast, it’s a sign that the life a person is living is being tested. It’s just a matter of that person being able to get through it well or choosing to give up.

The sun seems to be above the human head, indicating that the air during the day is getting hotter, especially in the city of Jakarta. Gifer Fernandez, the blind man who had just been discharged from Pekalongan hospital, was now at his office in Jakarta. Leaving his parents in Kendal. Here Gifer was, in a big office with a very spacious room for himself, looking like he was thinking about something.

The adult man with a white shirt suit, black plaid patterned tie, cream color suit, and pants that matched his suit was sitting at his workplace while massaging his temples using his right hand. How could he not? After hearing all the reports from the secretary and office staff who said that the company’s turnover was decreasing drastically made him dizzy. Plus Haris who said that it was all the work of his lover, Raya who didn’t want to cooperate with Gifer’s company anymore. Raya also revoked everything related to Gifer’s company.

“Huh, what should I do? It’s impossible for this company to go bankrupt just like that!!!” Gifer shouted with bated breath.

BRAK!

PRANG!

SRET!

Haris who was in front of Gifer shifted his position to the right of his boss so that he wouldn’t be hit by the items that the man had thrown on the floor.

All the things on his desk were thrown until they broke. Gifer was really angry this time. No, it wasn’t good news that he received after coming home from the hospital, but bad news about his company. He was confused about what else to do, because all this time he had only developed his talent as a doll seamstress until he could finally have his own business and grow with a famous name to become what it is now. Indeed, the company was created when she first started dating Raya. The two of them were still in high school. Knowing that Gifer was Raya’s boyfriend, Raya’s father also took the initiative to capitalize all the businesses that Gifer made even now. If everything has been withdrawn by the owner? The company would really fall.

“RAYA VINANCIA! YOU’RE REALLY TOO MUCH!” Gifer shouted with his hands clenched on the desk, and hit the desk. His eyes were red, indicating that the company owner was furious.

DUK!

“Honey, what are you making?” Asked a girl who suddenly came and met Gifer in his sewing room. Who else if not Raya, Gifer’s girlfriend.

Yes, Gifer had always had a talent for sewing. No, not sewing clothes, bed sheets, or other fabrics, but sewing dolls. Actually, there are some dolls that don’t need to be sewn using a machine, but directly by hand. But Gifer preferred to use a sewing machine, so it would be faster, he thought.

“This? Ah, I’m making a doll. I feel sorry for the children of Falah orphanage. They don’t have any good toys, even the dolls look like they’re worn out. I took the initiative to give them this,” Gifer showed his work to Raya.

Falah orphanage is located next to their school. The orphanage was still in financial crisis at that time. So, Raya, Gifer, and the high school students knew about the orphanage.

“Wow, really good! The orphans must like it. I want to make one too, honey.”

“Yes, but wait first.” Gifer gave his girlfriend the understanding to wait and both of them laughed together.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

At the orphanage, there were two little girls who were running around the cherry blossom tree located right in front of the orphanage. Gifer and Raya, who had just left for school, took the initiative to approach the two children.

“Hi, do you want to play guessing game with me?” Gifer asked while putting the doll behind his back.

“I want to, brother,”

“Guess what you’re carrying on your back?”

“What is it? Ice cream, maybe?” Guessed one of the girls with short hair in two ponytails.

“Wrong, it’s a toy. If you can guess, this toy will be yours,” Raya gave them a little clue. Gifer smiled at Raya briefly, then faced the two boys.

“Umm, a doll maybe?” The other little girl said.

“Right, here, the dolls are for you guys,” Gifer gave the two little girls the panda and bear dolls.

“Yey, thank you good brothers.” They said while hugging Gifer who had squatted down, equalizing his height with the two little girls. Raya who saw that didn’t really like it. She only smiled slightly, as if she wasn’t interested in hugging the orphanage children.

.

Remembering that made Gifer even more frustrated and stricken with regret. Why did he have to like Raya? Why did he have to cooperate with Raya’s father’s company? Knowing this, he would do it on his own without anyone’s help. Haris who saw that could only give advice to Gifer to always be patient and get back up.

“Gif, already. Don’t think about it anymore,” Haris stroked his friend’s shoulder. He intended to calm the man down so that he wouldn’t think too much about this problem.

“No, Ris! He really went too far! I have to get back at him!” still in a fit of rage, Gifer tightened his fists even more.

“Yes, I know, but now is not the time. Where is my best friend Gifer who always thinks logically and maturely?”

“Remember, Gif. Don’t be rash, you can bring this company back with your own efforts,”

“In what way, Ris? This company was built in collaboration with Raya’s father’s company! Without him, this company wouldn’t have gotten off the ground, because the money and shares are all from them. What’s more, that old fart already announced to the media that GF Corporation was just piggybacking on his company! And now? Bankruptcy!! Where would I put my face if it was like this! I regret being offered this crazy thing by Raya’s father!!! AAGGGH!!!” Gifer cried hysterically. He really didn’t think this would happen after his accident.

“Gif, you can still get up, I’m sure of it. Let it be, Raya’s father is the biggest supplier of turnover in this company. But remember, you have the talent to sew dolls. You can start all over again, no need to be embarrassed, if you’re embarrassed, just get plastic surgery so no one recognizes you!” Disconnected Haris who was just as impatient as Gifer.

“Are you crazy? No, anyway now I’m blind, I can’t even sew. Never mind, I’m going home. Besides, this company isn’t mine anymore, it’s all been taken over by Raya’s father. Go home, I can go home by myself,” Gifer walked out of the room using his blind stick to the elevator to go down to the parking lot. When he arrived at the parking lot, there was a test.

“Sorry, sir. This car has been impounded by Miss Raya,” two burly men sent by Raya were now holding Gifer’s driver to enter the luxury car. Yes, since the accident, Gifer decided to have a personal driver. Isn’t it impossible for him to drive a car blind? She thought. But what happened today really made him unable to do anything.

“But, sir. This is the car I just bought after the accident last week. How can that be!” Gifer argued.

“Sorry, sir. I’m just following orders from my boss. He said this car was bought using money from the bankrupt GF Corporation.” Getting more and more confused with everything that happened suddenly to him, Gifer tried to accept it even though his heart rebelled to accept all of this.

“Mr. Gifer, please forgive me. They were sent by Miss Raya to take everything related to you,” said Mr. Fajri as Gifer’s driver.

“No problem, Mr. Fajri. You can go home, let me take care of this car.”

“Alright, thank you, sir.”

“And you guys, I want to talk to Raya Vinancia, can you give her a call?” Before long, the girl Gifer was referring to came.

Prok… Prok… Prok… Prok… Prok…

The girl clapped her hands with a happy expression on her face.

“Why, Gifer Fernandez? Do you still want to be the CEO of this company?”

“Raya Vinancia!”

“What? What else do you want from me? A company? What for? You’re already blind, and a blind man can never work again. You can’t see, let alone work? Hahahahha. Never mind, just get out of here, I’m sick of seeing you. This car is now mine. Don’t worry, GF Corporation will change its name to RV Corporation,” Raya arrogantly displayed her sly smile. Although he could not see, Gifer could already imagine what kind of expression Raya was displaying at this moment.

“Throw her out of my company! I don’t want any STUPID ex-CEO here!” Raya deliberately emphasized those words for Gifer. Raya’s words were like a dagger piercing Gifer’s solar plexus at the moment. He still couldn’t believe that his ex-lover could go this far. The two burly men immediately dragged Gifer to the front of the high-rise building.

“NO! LET GO! RAYA, YOU’RE REALLY TOO MUCH!” Gifer struggled in the grip of the two burly men’s hands.

Gifer was now out of that magnificent high-rise building, still with his cane he walked. Walking without any direction. He didn’t know where to go, he was really fed up with all this. Why is the world so cruel to him? Why did it have to be him who experienced such hard things? Losing his eyesight, losing his lover, and even losing his job. Gifer blamed himself more and more and cried over his unlucky fate. Why was his fate so cruel that it took away everything he had? That was what was currently on Gifer’s mind.

While walking, Gifer couldn’t pay attention and didn’t know whether he was on the side or in the middle of the road. He kept walking until the sound of a car horn rang loudly in his ears. He immediately covered his ears with both hands and his walking stick slipped out of his hands. At that moment, someone pulled his arm from the left side. It turned out that the person was a girl, where Gifer could feel when the girl embraced him gently, like a mother’s embrace.

Gifer was still scared if he heard the sound of a car horn or anything related to vehicles. He was still traumatized because of the accident he experienced at that time. Even now, he still covered his ears and looked down, hiding his frightened face. Her eyes are tightly closed, her eyebrows are knitted together, and her forehead is furrowed. She was still confused as to what had just happened. Is she going to have another accident? He thought. The girl released her hug, seeing Gifer’s frightened face. She took Gifer’s hand to the seat at the edge of the shop.

“Are you hurt? Are you okay?” Asked the girl worriedly.
