Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Have you ever believed that God's miracle is true? I want to believe it too, but sometimes God plays tricks on me.

♡♡♡

The sun's rays hit a girl's skin as she sat in the front yard of her house, right next to a cherry blossom tree, often called the Javanese sakura. Her head looked up, staring at the light blue sky. Her eyes glanced slightly at the leaves of the sakura tree that were swaying in the wind.

She closed her eyes for a moment, and enjoyed the heat from the sun. It was getting hotter by the second, but it made her feel comfortable. Suddenly a cherry blossom petal fell, right on his face. Then he could immediately feel the fragrant pollen of the cherry blossom. She opened her eyes slowly, and took the cherry blossom.

"What is God's next plan for my life?" She muttered to herself.

Her name is Belvina, she is a village girl who not many people know about her. Belvina or commonly called by the name Vina graduated with a Bachelor's degree with the Indonesian Language and Literature study program in education. But she doesn't want to work as a teacher.

It sounds strange, but that's the reality. For some reason, Belvina always thought that being a teacher really requires extra energy to teach students who are difficult to manage. Therefore, she decided to work in another field instead.

Belvina really liked nature created by God, even though every morning she could only see the sky, the sun, the Javanese cherry blossom trees and mango trees, it already made her heart happy and grateful for the blessings that God had given her so far. And this time, the girl only wanted to ask God for one thing, if it was granted, thank God, if not, it was okay, she thought.

"I once dreamed of becoming an employee of a well-known bank in Indonesia. But after I applied to be a bank employee, I was always and always rejected. Again God was playing with my life, I was confused about where to work again because my diploma was only suitable for becoming a teacher. I'm confused, should I work in another company?"

On the way from Kendal City towards Jakarta, the weather was very sunny, and people were passing by on the busy streets using their vehicles, especially cars. It was as if they were racing each other to reach their destination. One of them was a car occupied by a 27-year-old man.

He was driving at an above-average speed because he wanted to get to his destination, which was the city of Central Jakarta. In order to fulfill the wishes of his beloved who always demands here and there to immediately obey all his wishes. Even taking her to the end of the ocean once the man will do for the sake of his beloved lover. The man's cell phone rang and displayed the name of his girlfriend, Raya.

"Hello, darling. Where are you? What took you so long? I've been waiting for you here for a long time, you know!" Raya's tone sounded loud in the man's ears.

"Yes, one moment, dear. I'm on my way to Jakarta. You just wait, I'll be there in about half an hour," lie! It was all a lie to convince her lover not to be angry with her.

"But you're really coming, right, Gifer Fernandez? You don't intend to lie to me, do you?"

"Yes, I'm not lying really-"

The man named Gifer's sentence was cut off because a car from the opposite direction lost control and hit the car driven by Gifer. His eyes bulged when he realized that danger was about to befall him.

"Oh my, Noooooo!"

Brak!

Pyar!

Prang!

Gifer's car was pushed to the left violently, until it hit the road divider. The cell phone Gifer was holding also fell onto the passenger seat next to him and still had the voice of his girlfriend calling him earlier.

"Hello? Gifer? What's wrong with you?"

There was no answer from Gifer. His head hit the dashboard hard, his eyes continued to bleed from the broken windshield that shattered his corneas and his body was covered in bruises.

_

'There has been a car accident in which both drivers were seriously injured. Both have been rushed to the nearest hospital. The names of the people involved in the accident are James Nimuel with car license plate GT78Y from Pekalongan and Gifer Fernandez with car license plate KJ345E from Semarang.

Pyar!

"Huh? Who was in the accident? J-don't-don't our son? Honey, how is this? Gifer..." Gifer Moms who heard the news from the television immediately dropped the glass she was holding in shock. The glass had even broken into pieces. She put both hands in front of her nose and mouth.

"If you look at the license plate and the name, it looks like Gifer's car, dear. But let's just check there." Gifer's father was still frowning, he was curious and couldn't believe the news he had just heard. But, no matter what, they had to check it directly, afraid that something would happen to their only child.

_

At the Pekalongan hospital, Gifer's parents were very panicked and ran to the emergency room. Because earlier they had confirmed that at the scene of Gifer's accident, there was the man's cell phone left in the car. That way, they were even more convinced that it was their son who had the accident. In front of the emergency room, Gifer's parents kept chanting prayers that there would be no serious injuries to their only child, even though it was just a wish.

The doctor who treated Gifer had not yet left the emergency room. Making the parents bite their fingers even more due to excessive worry. After waiting for a few minutes, the doctor came out of the emergency room and informed about the condition of the patient Gifer.

"Are you the family of the patient named Gifer Fernandez, the victim of the accident at Palem 1?" immediately nodded to agree with the doctor's words, Gifer's father seriously wanted to listen to the explanation of what the doctor would say.

"Yes doctor, how is our son?" He asked. Who is the parent who doesn't get hurt if their child suffers an accident? Surely all parents will be hurt. Enveloped in quite a great worry denying the events that are currently happening.

"His condition is currently critical after the accident, there are no serious injuries in other parts of the body. It's just that after I checked his eyes which continued to bleed, it turned out that there was a shard of glass that hit his cornea. And it is very likely that your child will go blind. We have tried our best, but it is very difficult just to save the cornea that has already been damaged. Please if you want to visit him, but only one person, and take turns," After saying that, the doctor left the emergency room.

DEGH!

Gifer's mother's heart was cut, tears fell from her eyes. The feeling of sadness, fear, and worry hearing the condition of the doctor who said that Gifer would not be able to see anymore hit her heart. Gifer's father tried to calm him down by rubbing his shoulders.

"Honey, don't be sad. I'm sure, Gifer will be able to see again. We have to try to find an eye donor for Gifer," the husband calmed his wife gently, so that she wouldn't get lost in her sadness.

"We have to, we have to be able to find an eye donor for Gifer no matter what," the traces of tears that continued to flow down his wife's cheeks increasingly made the eyes have a little pocket.

"Yes, I will try to find an eye donor for Gifer so that he can see again. But, it will have to wait a long time. It's not that easy to find an eye donor. The only thing I'm afraid of is that when Gifer wakes up, Huh... I hope he won't get angry and blame himself." Her husband looked down sadly. Meanwhile, his wife just nodded her head repeatedly to agree with what her husband said.

To Be Continued

In Central Jakarta, the sky looks so clear, decorated by clouds that move here and there following the direction of the wind. Now, at Soekarno-Hatta airport, there were two girls who looked like they were waiting for something. One girl had long, back-length hair that was deliberately styled with hairpins tucked above her ears and the other with short, neck-length hair was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Sunglasses were always perched on the noses of both girls. To avoid the glare of direct sunlight, they walked hand in hand while pulling their respective suitcases.

They were Belvina and Anggi. Currently, they are still confused about where to find lodging in the city, both of them are still walking without a clear direction and where they are going.

"Huh, I'm really tired, Vin, let's stop for a while. Oh yeah, where are we going to find a place to stay? Or should we just rent an apartment?" Anggi asked Belvina who spontaneously stopped her footsteps.

"Better we look around the city of Central Jakarta first, who knows there are also many apartments that are ready to rent. Yes, although I don't know for sure, I'm also setting foot in Jakarta for the first time, just like you Anggi. That's why we have to explore first," Belvina looked at Anggi who was taking off her glasses and nodded in agreement.

"Then, let's take the bus and see the beautiful city of Jakarta!" Anggi invited with so much enthusiasm. Her smile never faded from the corners of her lips.

"Let's not take the bus, let's take a taxi so we can get there quickly, Gi," Belvina refused.

"Alright, but that's later, I still want to walk around here like an important person, hehehe." Belvina just smiled at Anggi's words as they continued to walk, the difference this time was that they walked slowly, unlike earlier which seemed like a race.

Now, Belvina and Anggi were walking on the side of the road enjoying the city of Jakarta while occasionally waiting for a passing taxi. But before that, Anggi walked while marveling at the beautiful city of Jakarta which was clean and there were only high-rise buildings and also the cars that passed by looked shiny. She also admired the pedestrians whose skin was so bright, it was like seeing something clear, she said.

"Woahh, beautiful. Uh Vin, can you take a picture of me in the park? It looks like the view is suitable for instagramable photos. It's so pretty, you know, I like it," Anngi started posing in an instagram-style.

"Alright, one, two, three!"

Cekrek! Cekrek! Cekrek!

"Here's a good result, who took the picture first," Belvina proudly showed off her shots. Anggi also looked at the photo on his cellphone.

"Vin, again, hehe. After this, I'll take your picture," Anggi begged while posing as beautifully as possible.

"Okay. One, Two-"

When Anggi was busy posing, suddenly there was a girl with light skin that leads to white injections, a beautiful face with a tomboy style of clothes and an expensive branded bag walking while calling someone. The girl accidentally bumped into Anggi who was posing, the girl's cell phone fell because it was nudged by Anggi's shoulder.

"Ouch! Sorry!" Shrieked Anggi who was accidentally nudged by the girl earlier. The girl who had bumped into her immediately shot her an angry look because her cell phone had fallen.

"Did you intend to walk? This is the side of the road, there are many people passing by too! Besides, it looks really dumb, taking pictures in a park like this!" The girl was angry with Anggi who was still pensive. Anggi was the one who got hit here, but Anggi was also the one blamed and angry. That's not fair.

"Miss, why are you scolding her? Didn't my friend apologize, huh? If it's a matter of looking hokey or not when taking pictures in the park, that's up to us, because we're the ones taking pictures, not Miss," responding casually to the girl's words, Belvina tried to be patient and not get carried away. She did not accept that her best friend was being blamed for this.

"How dare you answer me?" the girl was already preparing to raise her hand, trying to slap Belvina. But Belvina swiftly brushed it off. She parried and gripped the woman's hand firmly until it was held above her head.

"Vin..." Called Anggi who tried to stop the fight between them.

"Shut up, Anggi!" Belvina snapped firmly to keep her best friend out of this. Belvina's temper was already at its peak.

"Slap! Go ahead and slap me if I'm guilty! But here, you're the one who's guilty because you hit my best friend. You are the one who should apologize to my best friend!" As the girl's hands shook and clenched into fists, her face turned bright red with anger and embarrassment as everyone looked at her.

Then the girl immediately released her hand from Belvina's grip and picked up her cell phone that had fallen. She started calling someone back who had been cut off with an annoyed expression on her face. Belvina and Anggi could only stare at the girl's back which was getting farther and farther away.

"Vina, you were so brave earlier ... I'm sorry, this is all my fault, but you solved everything. Thank you," with teary eyes, Anggi looked down, not daring to look into Belvina's eyes. She felt guilty because she, her best friend, almost got slapped by someone else. Belvina herself just smiled.

"Hey, no problem really. Indeed, such insolent people need to be given a little lesson to deter them. I'm just wondering, why can there be people like that? Never mind. Let's go find a taxi and then find an inn," Belvina said as she dragged her luggage and blocked the taxi.

"Thank you, Vina. Alright, let's go!"

_

At the Pekalongan hospital, things were getting sadder for Gifer's family. In the emergency room, a couple tried to enter, intending to visit their son.

'Ceklek'

The sound of the door opening echoed in the room filled with white shades and the distinctive smell of medicine. The mother entered the emergency room to visit her son who was lying weakly on the sickbed. There, the only son of the Park family was still closing his eyes, an oxygen mask was perched on his tiny nose, his eyes were covered by bandages wrapped around his head, and his entire body was bruised.

The mother pulled the chair next to the bed and began to sit, a drop of water falling from her eyes. She took Jimin's hand in hers and gave a small smile.

"Giger, it's Mom, son, get up. Get up for mom's sake." The middle-aged woman was so fragile, her eyes leaking clear liquid that slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"Why is it like this, son? Why does it have to be your son who experiences something like this?" Because there was an inner bond between parent and child, Gifer suddenly began to move his fingers, little by little.

"Y-you, are you awake, son?" Gifer's mother immediately pressed the red button near Gifer's bed. The doctor came, and started to check Gifer's condition.

"Your son has passed his critical period, his heart rate and everything has stabilized, he will wake up soon. I have replaced his oxygen mask with a nasal cannula," the doctor explained about the patient's condition to the middle-aged woman.

"Alright doctor, thank you." Smiling happily because her son would wake up soon, Mrs. Gifer thanked the doctor. Suddenly there was a voice that seemed to be calling her.

"M... Mom..." while stammering, Gifer called his Mom by trying to open his eyes. But only black color could be seen.

Sometimes, everyone thinks that fate is the one playing with life. However, have you ever thought that fate doesn't want to be blamed either? Whereas if you want to think, all the fate that happens to you, it's because of the mistakes you made before the fate happened to you.

♡♡♡

In the emergency room, there was a mother who was waiting for her child to wake up. And it turned out that after opening his eyes, the child could see nothing but darkness.

"Gifer, are you okay? What hurts, son? Tell me," the mother grasped her only child's hand in a sad manner.

"Me..where..mom? Why is it so dark in here? Is the power out?" after waking up from his critical condition, Gifer asked about his dark vision. He kept asking his mother, hoping she would answer what he had just asked.

Gifer's mother's defense was shattered, the lips that had smiled because her son was awake, instantly faded into pain in the solar plexus and deep sadness.

It felt like she was unable to answer the questions that came out of her son's mouth. Unable to fight the bitter reality of life that seemed to slap his solar plexus.

So tight, so tight, that one drop of clear water fell from his eyes, again and again he cried. Gifer started to get up from his sleeping position and changed to a sitting position.

"Mom, why don't you answer Gifer's question, Mom? Where are you? Why is it so dark, Mom? Gifer can't see Mom and Dad..."

"Shhh!"

Gifer's words were cut off because a finger covered his thick lips. Gifer's mother closed her son's lips with her finger and started hugging Gifer's body tightly. The mother was crying and it could be heard by Gifer.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

"Gifer, I'm fine. But you..." Mom paused her sentence because she couldn't continue. But she still had to say it for Gifer's sake in the future.

"You... I'm sorry, Gifer. The doctor said you can't see anymore," Gifer's mother continued to cry and slowly the hug loosened.

"Ja-Ja-ddi, you mean, I'm blind? I can't see you anymore?"

"No, sweetie. But you can still hear Mommy's voice. If you need help, Mommy and Daddy will always help you and be by your side, dear," the mother stroked her son's silky hair. Meanwhile, Gifer himself had also shed his tears because he was lamenting his fate.

"Mom... why is it like this? Why did this happen to me? Why did God take my eyes, Mom? Aaaakkkhhhh!!! Why is He so mean to me?" After knowing about his situation, Gifer still couldn't accept his fate that he could no longer see like he used to. He started crying and grabbing his own hair, even screaming in frustration after hearing the news, but his mother began to calm him down affectionately, so that his son would not be angry and would accept his current situation. The atmosphere in the all-white room was filled with sorrow and crying from both of them.

Outside the room, his father was still waiting. Gifer's scream was heard from outside the room. Gifer's father was getting sadder hearing the angry scream of his eldest son.

.

Now that Gifer had been transferred to the hospital room, he was sitting on the hospital bed, his back leaning against the pillow. Instantly his memory of the split second when he got into the accident haunted his mind. Occasionally she would close her eyes when remembering how painful it was for the shards of car glass to hit her eyes. He also remembered that it wasn't just him who got into the accident, but there was someone who had hit his car at that time.

Ceklek

The sound of the door opening broke Gifer's mind about the incident. He immediately straightened his body.

"Gifer, the person who hit you is dead. I heard it from the news on television this morning," said his father while stroking his son's shoulder.

"You should be grateful, because God still gave you a second life. Don't be sad, don't be disappointed, and don't be angry anymore," his father continued.

"Yes, Dad," Gifer replied briefly because he was still in a bad mood after the accident.

"Earlier, Raya called me on the landline, she asked how you were doing. She said you had an appointment with her at that time."

"Yes, Father. Because of that rash driving, I got into an accident," The father was surprised to hear it.

"Gifer, if he comes here later, please welcome him well."

"Yes, Father."

Not waiting long, Raya finally came to Gifer's hospital room. She saluted Gifer's father with a smile and handshake.

As if he already knew that Raya only wanted to talk alone with Gifer, the father left the room so as not to disturb their conversation.

"Gifer, what really happened? Why did you get into that accident? And now you're blind? Is that news true Gifer?" Raya pressed Gifer with all kinds of questions.

"Yes, Gifer, I can't see anymore. I'm a blind man. I can't be a good lover for you, I've lost my eyes. And it seems, I won't be able to work anymore. It will be hard for me to read or even type about my own company's stocks," Gifer became a little insecure at having to tell this to his girlfriend.

"What? So, you're really blind Gifer? I can't believe this," Raya couldn't believe what Gifer said. Her hand tried to wave in front of Gifer's eyes which were indeed blind but could not see, but there was no response from Gifer. Then, he withdrew his hand with his hands clenched in anger.

"If that's the case, we better end this relationship, Gifer!!!" Raya snapped at Gifer with a bloodshot face, her eyes wide open and her breathing irregular as if a demon was taking hold of her. She really disliked the idea of being in a relationship with a disabled man, it would be very troublesome for her. Not to mention having to endure the embarrassment of everyone's ridicule, certainly her shopping buddies that she was dating a handicapped man like Gifer.

"Why, Raya? You don't want to accept a blind man like me, do you?" Gifer asked casually to test Raya, whether he meant what he said or was just bluffing.

"If so, so what, Gifer? I don't want to have a boyfriend who has become blind like you! Sorry, this time I want our relationship to end here! What will our children be fed if they find out that their father is blind and can't work?" Raya was very disappointed when she saw her fiancé in the hospital in a state of sightlessness.

"But, honey. Didn't we promise that we would always love until death? Why did you change this time?"

"AKKHH! That was back then, Gifer! Before you got into this accident and went blind! Starting today, we're breaking up! I don't want to have a blind lover like you! Let alone a blind husband! And don't ever contact me again!" After saying that, Raya then left Gifer who was still in a confused state of mind.

Blam!

"Huh...what should I do? I can't do anything anymore without being able to see." Gifer shed his tears.

A sunny morning greeted 2 girls who were taking a walk in the Central Jakarta area. Yesterday, they had found lodging, and it was time for them to take a walk through the city of Jakarta by taking the Trans Jakarta Bus. Their destination this time was Monas, they wanted to see how high the tower was and what was inside.

"Vin, the bus is here! Let's get on!" Anggi shouted while hurriedly pulling Belvina's hand to get into the bus.

After they found their seats, Belvina instantly remembered her college days when she used to always take the bus back to her hometown. Belvina looked out the window which was filled with scenery.

"This bus reminds me of Semarang, when I was in college," Belvina suddenly intended to open a conversation with Anggi. Anggi turned her head to the left where Belvina was staring at the window.

"Yes, you often take the bus. I'm from Pati, so it's far away, and if I take the bus, it will take a long time. So I decided to ride a motorcycle instead. Besides, there is no Bus Rapit Transit (BRT) on the Pati-Semarang route," Anggi said, raising both eyebrows slightly with a smile.

"Hahaha, indeed Gi. There is one from Kendal-Semarang and Demak-Semarang, and only the Semarang area has BRT. Uh don't get me wrong, before there was BRT in Semarang, the first one was in Jakarta, you know. Pati doesn't exist, right? Hahahahaha. But here, it seems like buses are really needed, so it's just like us," Belvina's right hand touched Anggi's shoulder and her left hand covered her mouth from holding back laughter.

"Just keep laughing, until you're satisfied." Anggi was annoyed while holding his hands to his chest. Meanwhile, Belvina was still laughing and seeing Anggi's upset expression, Belvina thought it was fun.
