Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The sun had already hidden behind the beautiful mega that covered almost the entire surface to the master’s reddish-yellow colour. Its rays were still visible but only a little and would eventually disappear, replaced by the dark and yellow sky of the moonlight that began to catch the eye of the beholder.

It was already 5 p. m. Raya had yet to return from serving the shop’s crowded customers. These few days after the crazy deal with her father, her shop was really selling well. Many visitors from both inside and outside New York bought every piece of merchandise.

Some were even out of stock and could only be bought tomorrow when the goods were deposited again. Indra was very happy about this, but a little suspicious of her lover because at that time he had said that he wanted to give her a job in the office, but why didn’t he? She thought. He immediately tried to ask Raya about it. They were both just now taking a break from the many customers that had overwhelmed them earlier.

“Honey, what’s the fate of your company? Has it been given by that Gifer?” Indra asked. Raya was a little anxious about what to answer, she pursed her lips as she looked around and tried to find the right answer for her lover.

“Yes, father left it to Gifer. What can I do? After all, I’ve persuaded him several times, but to no avail,” Raya was actually a little sorry for complying with the agreement her father had made. But what can I do? After all, she was also not talented in business and office matters, so instead of progressing, the company went bankrupt and Gifer had to start all over again.

“Meaning, all the wealth and profits from the company now belong to Gifer?” Indra asked again.

“Well, what else can I do, everything was confiscated by my father, rather than me not being allowed to sell, so that’s the middle way. Father gave me an agreement, if I disobey him, then he will separate us at all costs,” Raya explained, making her lover a little surprised and astonished. His brow furrowed. There was something strange about Raya’s every word. No, not strange because her lover was lying. Rather, it was the word ‘agreement’ that made Indra somewhat doubtful of Raya.

“Agreement?”

“Yes, an agreement. If I prefer this shop, then I can no longer hold the company and be replaced by Gifer. And vice versa. I prefer the hospitality of this shop, so that I can always be close to you, dear.” Raya smiled casually as she sat with her head resting on Indra’s shoulder. The man was thinking about something else.

‘At this rate, what good will it do me to date him?

Time continues to roll, until now it is 21. 00, in a large mansion owned by Mr Kevin who is in his office with several bodyguards now suddenly attacked by worry, because his daughter has not returned from her work event.

Even though the daughter only works in a shop, she shouldn’t be coming home until late at night, right? Even shop workers should be able to go home earlier than office workers who can go home late at night. Thought Mr Gifer who was previously only facing his laptop and typing something to work, now occasionally glanced at his mobile phone which made him even less concentrated at work.

“Where exactly is that kid? Should I call him? Hah, it’s troublesome, can Indra take good care of him? I’m even worried if Indra will do something to Raya,” said Mr Kevin worriedly. He mobilised his bodyguards to look for Raya.

“Wilson!” He called out. He hurriedly entered the room.

“Yes, sir?”

“Find Raya wherever she is.” Just as he said that, the sound of the door being rudely opened was heard deafening the ears of the two middle-aged men.

‘BRAK!’

The girl he was looking for staggered onto the living room sofa, babbling incoherently.

‘Raya is drunk?’ Thought Mr Gifer who had never once seen Raya touch alcohol, especially when she was dating Gifer back then. As tomboyish as Raya was, she had never fallen into something negative like this. Why was this time different? It made Mr Kevin even more furious and he didn’t want to let Raya go with Indra.

‘I knew it, Indra is not a good guy, so he dared to take Raya to a nightclub and get drunk.’ He thought. He immediately asked the maids to take Raya to her room.

“I can’t let this happen, even though it’s just one time, it could be something like this in the future. This is not right, I have to separate the two of them and make Gifer pick up Raya. Because Gifer is the one who deserves Raya, not Indra.” He said slowly and called Gifer.

He was sure, at that hour Gifer hadn’t slept because he was on business with Kiano’s company. He had to prepare some files to fill in everything to be discussed tomorrow with Kiano. He started looking for Gifer’s contact and called him.

Tut.

On the phone.

“Gif, can you pick Raya up from work tomorrow? Around 5pm,” Mr Kevin ordered. Indeed, this was very rude because he involved Gifer again with what had happened to Raya? As if he had no self-respect.

In the past, he asked Gifer to return to his company with the condition that he would not involve Raya in anything. Why is he now asking Gifer again to take care of Raya?

“Sorry, sir. I can’t, I have an appointment with my girlfriend at that hour, and the next days until the weekend. I don’t want to deal with Raya anymore. Wasn’t that included in our agreement back then?” The soft but firm voice of the sweet man on the other side of the room hit Pak Kevin’s heart. Right, why involve Gifer again? Gifer here was a victim after the accident and was thrown away at that time, he didn’t want to be involved anymore with Raya’s problem. Gifer was fed up with anything related to Raya. For him Raya was just the past. His future was Belvina, because that girl was willing to accept him for who he was, not anyone else.

“Yes, Gif. But, Raya really needs you now, she’s sick, if no one…”

Before Mr Kevin could continue his sentence, Gifer had already interrupted him.

“If you still expect me to get back with Raya, I may cancel our agreement and never want to be the CEO of your company again. My future now is not Raya, but my girlfriend who I will marry soon,” hearing the word marriage made Mr Kevin even more troubled. His heart rumbled with doubt and disbelief.

“What? Married?”

“Yes, you are not my parents, sir. So the only one who decides about the mate is my parents. The girl I’m taking down the aisle has already been introduced to my parents and my parents already like her. Don’t spoil all our wedding preparations by involving Raya again. Don’t expect it, because it will never happen,” Gifer was really fed up, he had guessed that Mr Kevin would ask him to take care of Raya or something as if he wanted to get closer to Raya again.

The wound that Raya gave him at that time, only Belvina could heal, this was Mr Kevin wanting to add more wounds? Big No, Gifer wouldn’t accept it. He tried hard to reject everything Mr Kevin had just said. He was willing to become a teacher again, as long as he was with Belvina. He already hated Raya so much.

“Do you hate my daughter that much, Gif?” Gifer sighed, and it was heard in Mr Kevin’s ears. What, this old fart is still asking questions? Completely faceless, why not ask Raya about it? Gifer said to himself.

“Yes, even your daughter doesn’t deserve my forgiveness, sir. That’s it, I want to call my girlfriend again because I feel a strong longing after so many hours of not seeing each other. Good night, and don’t forget to take care of your health. Remember, if you involve Raya, I will not hesitate to relinquish my position as CEO. Look for someone else who is more competent than me. Thank you.” The phone was unilaterally hung up by Gifer.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“AAAAGGHHHH!!!! Why is it like this?! Gifer might not want to get back with Raya, maybe I’ll just set Raya up with another man. Regardless of whether the girl wants it or not.” Mr Kevin said angrily.
