Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

At the WR Bank office, Belvina and Anggi are serving customers who want to save or exchange money. It was so crowded today that they were both overwhelmed and asked for help from other coworkers.

“Miss Lina, please help us to serve the customer in the corner there to make an ATM, also find another teller who can help us so that the work is done quickly, we are overwhelmed.” Belvina explained to someone inside the office located at the back door of the counter in front of the tellers.

“Yes, Miss Belvina, I’ll be right up front.” Said the girl who was referred to as Miss Lina. After that, Belvina returned to her sitting position and counted the money again using the machine, while Anggi directed and called out if anyone wanted to save or open an account. The more the clock rotates, the more customers queue up either to save, open an account, or save money. More and more people sometimes get impatient and go to look for banks in other branches. Because she was so busy, Belvina couldn’t open social media at all. Let alone opening social media, she didn’t even have time to open her cell phone. At around 10:00, the person spread the photo of Gifer and Raya and uploaded it on social media. Not only that, he also found out about it to Belvina via message.

The ringing sound of an incoming message from Belvina’s cell phone was heard. Belvina’s cell phone was on her desk, but she couldn’t open it at all. Indeed, after the notification appeared, Belvina could see that ‘oh someone sent her a message’, that was it. If not from her family in the village, it would be from her high school group of friends, or even her boyfriend.

But if it was his girlfriend who sent the message, it wouldn’t be possible because it was still working hours where Gifer must still be very busy meeting with his clients. Gifer was always honest and kept her updated by phone, although not all the time. So, Diya wasn’t worried about Gifer who seemed to be doing well and adjusting even though he couldn’t see. Belvina was proud and happy that she could help Gifer to become CEO again after her persuasion at that time. Because Belvina’s cell phone rang constantly, it disturbed the girl next to her. Yes, that girl was Anggi.

“Vin, don’t you just open your cell phone first? It’s been ringing continuously,” Anggi’s eyes looked at Belvina’s cellphone.

“No, most people are pranksters. I just glanced that someone sent me a photo. I don’t know what photo. Most of the time it’s my sister who sends weird pictures. Hahaha,”

“Hahahaha, it could be, Vin. Let’s just focus on work, maybe later at 12 we’ll take a break, we can stop by the exit and freely open the cellphone. Later we can focus as much as we want to call our family,” said Anggi.

“Sip, the important thing now is to work first.” Belvina smiled widely at Anggi.

It was already 12:00 when the bank employees took the initiative to rest at the restaurant. It was Anggi and Belvina’s plan to eat together while updating their families in Indonesia, but they abandoned their plan because it turned out that their boss invited them to have lunch together at a famous restaurant in Jakarta, just now Lina had said it in front of Belvina and Anggi.

“Eh, all employees will be treated to lunch today with our boss!”

“Mr. Jeon is it? The owner of WR Bank?” Another employee asked.

“Yes, at that time only Mr. Erik owned this company, now it is his son Mr. Jhony who inherited everything, so later Mr. Erik wants to treat us all, as well as introduce us to his son. Wow, I can’t wait, Mr. Erik’s son must be very handsome. I’m so curious,” with great enthusiasm, Lina delivered the news to all the employees. Instead of being happy about the news, Belvina and Anggi were not so happy because she had to postpone the video call with her beloved family and was not free.

“Then, is there any more working hours after this or is it a holiday?” Asked Belvina curiously.

“Well, I don’t know, just pray that we are invited to go home, hahahha.” Lina replied.

Anggi nudged Belvina’s arm which made the master groan in pain and raise his eyebrows, as if asking ‘what’s wrong?’

Anggi then whispered something to Belvina.

“Just in case Mr. Erik’s son is handsome, I’ll approach him,” Anggi whispered.

“Get close, then you’ll be fighting with Lina, hahahha.” Belvina laughed at her friend’s idea which she thought was a bit crazy.

As the lunch hour began, everyone had gathered at the 5-star restaurant that Mr. Erik had booked. Belvina opened the message on her phone screen. How surprised she was to see the photo sent from an unknown number, both of her eyeballs were bulging and her forehead was wrinkled, even when Anggi talked to her, she didn’t respond because she was still surprised by the photo showing that Gifer was hugging Raya with their eyes meeting.

Which girl wouldn’t be jealous to see her lover hugging another girl, especially if it was her ex. Belvina tried calling Gifer many times while putting her cell phone to her ear, but there was no answer from her lover. It made her heart uncertain with strange thoughts. This is the thing that Belvina doesn’t like when dating. It’s better to be single and free to do something than to be in a relationship, but your mind is torn between your work and your boyfriend. She tried her best to wipe the tears away before they fell on her cheeks.

‘Maybe Gifer is also busy, anyway if they get back together there’s no harm, right? Mr. Kevin must really want Gifer to get back with Raya.’ Belvina thought.

Seeing that the situation was not possible, Belvina asked permission to go to the restroom to pour out all her annoyance to Gifer about the photo.

“Excuse me, Mr. Erik. May I use the restroom for a moment?”

“Yes, please.”

“You don’t eat first, Vin. Try tasting it, it’s really good food.” Suggested Anggi, who was already brandishing the meat he was chopping up. Belvina shook her head and immediately went to the ladies’ room. There she cried in front of the large mirror in the toilet.

“Should I give in for Gifer’s happiness with Raya? I’m not his first love, it’s only natural that he wants to get back with his first love. I have no right to stop him, hiks, hiks.” Her monologue while crying facing the glass.

“Who am I? I should realize that I’m just an ordinary person with a different caste. He’s a CEO, while I’m just an ordinary bank employee. Besides, I’m not as beautiful and have as good a body as Raya. Gifer really deserves Raya, not me, Hiks, hiks, hiks.” Belvina wiped her tears and tried to stay calm even though her face was still red from crying. She tried to cover it up by washing her face, drying it with a tissue and covering the wajau with powder so that it wouldn’t show that she was crying.

Gifer wanted to meet Belvina this afternoon since he had asked Haris to check who was calling during his working hours.

“Gif, there are some missed calls from my girlfriend hahahahaha,” Haris quipped. Just now Gifer wanted to respond with a serious face, instead Haris made him joke.

“Seriously, Ris? Even joking, haha,” Gifer giggled amusedly.

“Seriously, try calling back, I’m afraid there’s a problem or something,” Haris suggested to Gifer.

“Please press the phone button,” Haris complied with Gifer’s request and pointed the phone to Gifer’s ear.

‘The number you have dialed is not active, please try in a while.’ That’s what Gifer heard from the cell phone.

“Yeah, it’s not active, Ris,”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Alright, I’ll go to Belvina’s apartment tonight.”

“Alone?”

“Alone, with the driver, you must be tired from working all day, right?”

“Yes, hehe,”

That quiet night became a silent witness to Gifer’s presence at Belvina-Anggi’s apartment. He arrived in front of the apartment and knocked on the door, while occasionally ringing the bell. When the door was opened, Gifer was happy, his smile widened, surely the one who opened the door was his girlfriend, he thought.

“What are you doing here?”
