Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The night was getting quieter and colder, so anyone who went out tonight should wear a jacket and bundle up as the temperature was getting colder. Just like the girl who had just walked home with a guitar on her back and walked through the hallway to her house with her grandmother. Who else but Nova. The girl zipped up her jacket and her hands held onto the strap of the guitar case she was carrying. On the way, Nova suddenly remembered about something that happened just a few days ago, which had made her think until today.

“Why do I think about Bang Martin so often? Was I wrong to avoid that man?” Nova monologued while still walking casually.

“Aisssh, I don’t know.” Nova ruffled her hair roughly with a typical lethargic face coming home from work, albeit a busking job.

It didn’t take long for Nova to get to her grandmother’s house, which had become her residence as well. The girl opened the door of the house, as usual, there was no one because the grandmother was still selling until late at night, Nova knew that. even though she knew it, the girl always gave a sign that she was home.

“I’m home!”No one answered, yes, even though no one answered, Nova still said that every time she came home from work. Nova put her guitar in its proper place, went to the toilet for a while to clean her hands and feet, then approached the bed in her room, preparing to sleep.

Her eyes had tried to close, but her mind was still wandering, including the words of the man who confessed his love to her a few days ago and until now she was still thinking about him. She turned her body to the right, still unable to sleep, to the left also could not. As a result she lay down, reopened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling of her room.

“Aissh, why is it always ringing in my head about Bang Martin declaring his love for me? Should I just accept it or not? Aiishh, I’m confused.” Nova said while getting up from her sleeping position, leaning on the bed to position herself sitting while hugging her pillow. She remembered the incident a few days ago when Bang Martin declared his love for her.

Flashback

“I’m not lying, I love you, Nova.” This time Nova did not see Bang Martin’s joking face at all. She really saw the seriousness in Bang Martin’s eyes.

“No way, all this time, we were just coworkers Bang Martin. Since when do you love me?” Nova was even more surprised that Bang Martin secretly liked her.

“A long time ago, when you first came here to work with me. I deliberately suppressed this feeling so that my love for you might only be limited to admiration, but I was wrong. The more I harbor these feelings, the more I like you and even love you, Nova.” Nova looked down, she also felt that she didn’t deserve to be loved by someone as good as Bang Martin because she was instead focusing on Gifer who didn’t even glance at her. She looked back into Bang Martin’s eyes, trying to give the best answer so that the man in front of her would not be disappointed with what she had to say.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Martin. Give me some time to answer. I… I’m just still unsure of my heart, even I’m still confused about all this.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for that. Whatever you decide, I’ll try to accept it well.” Bang Martin smiled wryly after saying that. It was clear that it could be seen by Nova through the look in the girl’s eyes.

After that statement, both Nova and Bang Martin seemed to avoid each other, everything became awkward even though they had also exchanged greetings and even talked about tutoring.

Flashback END

“Aissh! I’ll just accept it, anyway going out with Bang Martin isn’t bad either.” Nova broke off.

“I don’t know, I’ll try to sleep again.” Nova said while positioning herself lying back on the bed facing right while covering her ears with a pillow.

Anggi had just gotten home after talking with Gifer, the apartment was so quiet, not even Belvina was in the living room or kitchen, making Anggi frown.

“Belvina must be in her room.” Anggi’s monologue and then she stepped into Belvina’s room.

Check!

“Vin, you’re in your…” His sentence was cut off after seeing what his best friend was doing.

She was packing her clothes into a suitcase, still with puffy eyes and tears falling down her cheeks. Belvina remained silent and continued to put her other clothes into the suitcase without paying attention to Anggi’s presence. Anggi approached Belvina and gave her the bag and books that Belvina had left behind in Gifer’s car. Belvina frowned, facing Anggi.

“Here, your bag and books that were left in Gifer’s car.” Anggi said. Belvina accepted them and put them on the nightstand next to the bed, going back to packing her things again.

“Where are you going, Vin?”

“Back to Kendal. I’m going back to my hometown in Kaliwungu South Kendal.”

“Because of the problem with Gifer?” Belvina nodded.

“Okay, I’m coming.” Breaking up with Anggi, Belvina turned to Anggi.

“I also miss my hometown, Pati. I’m sure my family misses me too, and you often video call me, but unfortunately we haven’t been able to meet in person. Ah… it’s a coincidence that you’re going home. We’ll just take tomorrow off.” Anggi said casually while laying his body on the bed in Belvina’s room.

Anggi actually wanted to comfort Belvina so that she wouldn’t be saddened by the reality that seemed to slap her. Anggi didn’t want Belvina to cry just because of one man who had made her best friend hurt.

“Why, you don’t seem happy that I’m on the same flight as you?” Anggi was still looking at Belvina who had walked over to her and lay down on the bed. Belvina exhaled her breath slowly before speaking, answering Anggi’s question.

“Huh… I actually don’t know either, I really love Gifer, but my heart hurts to hear the truth that has been making me curious. I just wanted to calm down for a while in Kaliwungu. Why did you come?” Belvina said.

Anggi knew exactly what Belvina meant, Anggi knew everything even from Gifer’s own mouth Anggi knew it. But whatever Belvina’s decision, it must be the best, Anggi thought. Anggi moved from her sleeping position to a sitting position.

“Well, can’t I come? I want to go home too, if you don’t want me to go home with you, then fine.” Anggi said.

“It’s not like that, Gi. But…” Belvina’s words were paused because Anggi interrupted her.

“My advice, Vin. Follow your heart, are you sure you want to go back to Kaliwungu now? Are you ready for all the questions from your family? I’ve been thinking about that too. We haven’t been back to our hometown for almost two years.” Anggi said.

“Yes, you’re right. They will definitely ask more questions if I go home, especially suddenly.” Belvina said still in her sleeping position. She also bangnu from her sleeping position, changing to a sitting position like Anggi.

“No problem, I’ll deal with it. I’m not a weak girl who gets whiny just because of love. Maybe I’m too stupid when it comes to love, but not this time. I will never love anyone again, I will live alone, I don’t want to love or be loved by anyone from now on, and starting tomorrow, I will still go home to Kaliwungu.” Disconnected Belvina who immediately got out of bed and packed her belongings back into the suitcase. She didn’t change her mind at all, making Anna frown.

“Gosh, I tried to persuade her not to go, but why is it still not working? How stubborn.” Anggi sneered softly until Belvina didn’t hear Anggi’s sneer at all.
