Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

In the hallway of an apartment, a tall man in an office shirt and pants was walking towards the elevator while occasionally smiling to himself remembering something together with Anggi. On the one hand the man was very happy to be walking with Anggi, on the other hand the man was also happy because he received praise from Anggi after helping the grandmother earlier. The elevator doors opened, revealing the handsome face of Haris who walked into the apartment, typed in the password and went inside. Just as Haris was about to close the apartment door, he was greeted by the deep voice of his best friend who was watching television.

“Where have you been?” Gifer asked while looking at Haris’ eyes with his flat face. The questioner immediately stopped and only showed his white teeth.

“I was… from…” Haris seemed to be thinking about making excuses to Gifer.

“Ah, just from sightseeing.”

“You went with Anggi, how could it be just a walk, huh?”

“What the hell, you also went with Belvina, even ignoring us. So annoying.” Haris replied by pouting his lips.

“Vina and I wanted to investigate something, Ris. About that accident you saw this morning. I asked Mr. Ian about it, in case he could advise or help. After getting an answer from him, Vina and I went back to the hospital to meet Mr. Kevin. As for you, you didn’t even show the bridge of your nose, are you not going to see Mr. Kevin? Ris? After all, Mr. Kevin is still our boss, he’s the one who gave us the job. If it wasn’t for him, we’d probably be homeless and working at Bang Martin’s foundation until now with a salary that’s not as much as an office worker.” Gifer tried to explain to his friend not to forget Mr. Kevin and still respect the middle-aged man.

“Yes, Gif. For some reason, when I’m alone with Anggi, I lose track of time.” Haris approached Gifer and sat down on the living room sofa, right to Gifer’s left.

“Even you know yourself, don’t you? I just got home at this hour.” Haris pointed at the wall clock above the television.

“Then what did you do with Anggi to come home so late at night huh?” Gifer asked curiously. Gifer who was dating didn’t even go home this late at night. Even Gifer never asked Belvina to go out at night.

“Ah, don’t you like Anggi and ask her out?” Gifer guessed which immediately made the man with thin lips smile widely before telling the truth. The man nodded first in response.

“Yes, I… asked Anggi for a healing, to go somewhere fun, take a bus, see the beautiful leaves on the trees that are shedding their leaves, and enjoy the night atmosphere on a quiet street.”

“Gosh Hsris, your behavior is just like a child, you know.” Gifer quipped while shaking his head lightly.

“What’s wrong with taking a walk, Gif?”

“Yes, there’s nothing wrong with it, so how will Anggi respond to you? Meanwhile, you guys keep fighting when you meet. I still remember when you guys took me to America for an eye donor, hahaha.” Instantly Gifer laughed remembering the incident when Haris and Anggi who always fought every time they met. Gifer covered his mouth with his palm.

“Aish, don’t open shame, Gif.” Haris said.

“Uh, you know, Anggi and I met an old lady in the alley of the housing complex.”

“Who is that grandmother?” Asked Gifer curiously.

“Hold on, I haven’t finished talking yet, Gif.”

“So Anggi and I met the grandmother who was being collected by a man who looked like a thug. She was selling snacks like spring rolls and sweets. But after the thug came, his merchandise was ransacked until everything had fallen to the ground.”

“What exactly was the thug’s motive for destroying her merchandise?”

“Thugs are collecting debts, but in a rude way.”

“Wow, that’s too much, even with an old man, you know, it should be in a subtle way.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“But, that’s not what surprised me, Gif.”

“Then what, Ris?”

“That grandmother’s grandson, works as a street singer at night and in the morning the girl works at Bang Martin’s foundation.” Gifer immediately rounded his eyes and frowned in surprise.

“What? Is she a woman? Because in Bang Martin’s foundation, most of the teachers are women, right? Although I couldn’t see at that time, but I knew it from the voice.”

“Yes, she’s the girl from Panti Falah that you used to go to with Raya.”

“Really, Ris?”

“Wait, is it true that she is a child from the Falah orphanage that Raya and I used to visit and give her dolls?”

“I don’t know the details, Gif. But the grandmother just told me so. It could be and probably is.” Haris said. Gifer frowned even more and flattened his chin.

“Maybe, Ris.”

On a quiet street and also a late night, amidst the crowds of people traveling and walking around enjoying the beautiful night, there was a girl with shoulder-length brown hair that was deliberately curled to enjoy the breeze from the blowing wind. The girl was singing while playing the guitar to form a beautiful chant that made everyone turn to watch her. Not only did the song belong to an Indonesian idol, but also the girl’s voice was so melodious that everyone approached her and gave her money that had been provided in an old tin can. The money is not only in the form of change, but there is also paper. As sincere as the people watching.

“Woah, her voice is very good.” Said one of the spectators who was bringing his partner to listen to the voice of the girl who was singing.

“Isn’t that Nova? The one who works at the Ability to Read foundation, right?” There were also people who were still surprised and shocked when they saw that it was Nova, one of Bang Martin’s employees at the foundation.

“Yes, Nova works there in the morning. She’s a tough girl, I really like her, worthy of appreciation.”

“Uh, but I heard that Nova is from the Falah orphanage, right?”

“Yeah, I heard that too.”

The girls were talking about the singer who was now still singing every note and also beautiful lyrics in accordance with the beautiful clear night without any disturbances such as rain. Just as they were enjoying the singing, suddenly there was a raid that did not allow anyone to trade or sing on the streets like Nova was doing.

“Raid! Let’s run!!!” Said the street vendors who were there. Nova, who had closed her eyes to enjoy the girl’s voice alone, immediately opened her eyes and looked at the people who were passing by to secure their merchandise and immediately left the place.

“Oh, just a raid.” Nova said lightly. Her brain tried to think positively and keep singing. But suddenly the girl remembered something.

“What! A raid! You idiot, why am I relaxing?” Nova cursed to herself. The girl immediately cleaned up the equipment she was carrying and ran very fast so as not to be caught by the raid. But suddenly…

BRUGH!

“Akh!” Nova fell down because she tripped over her own feet. Her head was down, but the girl already saw someone in front of her with black shoes. Her gaze scanned up and it turned out that Nova was caught by the raid.

“You’re under arrest!”

“Aishh, what the fuck!”
