Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

The yellow rays of the sun shone right onto a girl who deliberately showed off her beautiful, bright, smooth and clean face. Her eyelashes were so long, a sharp nose that looked like a Caucasian, plus lips that were polished using ombre lips coloring that matched her bright yellow skin. Her eyes were still facing the sun, as if the sun’s rays gave her the spirit to live life for today. Her lips quirked upwards, making her beautiful face look even more beautiful accompanied by her signature smile.

“Fighting! Today I will turn over a new leaf, I will forget Brother Gifer and open a new love for another man who wants to enter my heart.” The girl’s smile expanded even more after saying that, accompanied by her white teeth showing. Her eyes also disappeared when she smiled.

That girl was Nova, who had met Gifer on the night of the lantern festival. Gifer only gave her calming words without wanting to open his heart to her. Obviously, it was very painful for Nova.

Gifer was very ignorant according to Nova, even when he saw a girl crying, the man only gave a tissue and gave a calming sentence, not wanting to hug Nova at all. Even though Nova really hoped, when Gifer found out everything, surely the man would hug the girl and love her as he used to when the girl was a child. But apparently not, everything had changed. Everything happened beyond Nova’s expectations. Until now Nova decided to start a new thing without thinking about things that had already passed.

“Maybe it’s true, the past should be forgotten, and now it’s only the future that I will think about, Nova spirit!” The girl clenched her fist in the air, a sign that she should keep working. She was ready for the clothes that she had tidied up and put on now. Just a few more steps to Bang Martin’s ‘Ability to Read’ Foundation.

.

At the Foundation, Bang Martin was tidying up the books and benches in each room. This time he was in room B, where he found Nova’s keychain. A keychain with a cherry blossom motif made of monel. Obviously, it would never rust even if exposed to water. It was a fairly good material and was commonly used to make bracelets or necklaces. But what is surprising is that the material is made into a keychain, which is obviously very, very rare and not necessarily sold on the market. It looked like it was intentionally designed and made from the basic monel material. Bang Martin knew very well that it belonged to Nova because every day the girl always carried the keychain in her bag. He picked it up from the teacher’s desk and tried to remember something.

“Isn’t this Nova’s?” Her monologue.

“Never mind, just keep it.” Bang Martin resumed his activities again and this time he took a cloth to wipe the dusty glass around the room.

Nova also came and immediately called Bang Martin’s name.

“Bang Martin? Are you here?” Nova asked while raising her voice slightly.

“Yes! I’m in room B, Nova!” Said Bang Martin shouting for the girl to hear his voice. Nova walked towards the room Bang Martin was referring to.

“Ah, you were cleaning up. What time is it going to start? It’s already 7 a. m. and you’re still cleaning.” Nova said while sitting on one of the benches in the room.

“It’s still a while, class will start around 9:00, I’ve contacted all the guardians.” Bang Martin said lightly while not taking his eyes off the glass he was wiping. Instantly Nova’s eyes widened at Bang Martin’s explanation.

“Wh-what? Didn’t I hear wrong? You said nine o’clock? Wow this is crazy, why didn’t you call me oh? I can leave at noon.” Bang Martin put the rag in his hand on the table and approached Nova.

“Heyy, teachers should still leave early even if their students leave at noon, Nova.”

“We’re not teachers, we’re just mentoring, right? Not a classroom teacher who’s always on standby every day.” Nova was annoyed at Bang Martin.

“But still, Nova. Our job is to make people’s children able to read. That also includes teachers. And teachers, should be role models for their students.”

“Yaisshh, what a wise ass.” Nova grumbled.

“Never mind, you might as well clean up the other class. Or you can prepare something else that can make this class tidy.” Bang Martin ordered. When he was about to leave the room, the man suddenly remembered something.

“Oh yeah.”

“What else?”

“Geez, you’re so angry, smile first.” Bang Martin said. Nova automatically obeyed Bang Martin’s orders.

“What is it again Bang Martin?” Nova blinked her eyes repeatedly on purpose and Bang Martin laughed at her.

“Hahahaha, geez. You’re trying to tease me, huh?”

“Here, I found this hanger on the teacher’s desk in this room.” Bang Martin held out his palm which already contained an object that was certainly familiar to the girl with neck-length hair. The girl also glanced at Bang Martin.

“I… that… that’s mine.” Nova immediately took the cherry blossom-shaped keychain and put it back in her bag. Bang Martin, who already understood, just smiled.

“Alright, next time keep it well. I’ll go first.” When she was about to leave, Nova held Bang Martin’s arm.

“Where are you going? I want to talk to you about something.” Nova said seriously, making Bang Martin melt and agree by nodding his head.

“What is it? Let’s talk in my room. It won’t be good if the other tutors hear.” Nova just obeyed when Bang Martin gently pulled Nova’s hand towards his room.

Now they sat next to each other on the elongated bench in Bang Martin’s room.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“It’s… about…”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Gifer?” Guessing Bang Martin, Nova nodded, agreeing that Bang Martin’s guess was correct.

“Yes, it’s about him.” Bang Martin’s smile instantly faded, replaced with a very serious face.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“On the night of the lantern festival, we accidentally met and had a chat.” Nova said, Bang Martin smiled wryly at Nova’s explanation.

“And then?”

“I told you everything. Told her about the past when Mr. Gifer and Sis Raya gave me and Rosa dolls as gifts.”

“What did he think about that? Does he remember it too?” Asked Bang Martin, Nova again nodded her head.

“Yes, he does remember it, but… Mr. Gifer doesn’t really remember clearly because he has forgotten about that past. Whereas for me, the past means a lot, but for him it’s the opposite. And when I cried, he just gave me a tissue and gave me calming words. Ah never mind, it was me who was too hopeful. Not anymore, I’ll open another heart for my future. Besides, Mr. Gifer already has a girlfriend. There’s very little hope for me to wish for him. After all, me and him are very different in terms of finances. He’s a CEO and known by many people, while me? I’m just a simple person. Just being able to eat today is already very grateful.” Nova tried to explain everything to Bang Martin.

“So that’s it, it’s okay. There will be another love waiting for you, Nova.” Bang Martin said.

“What? Don’t talk nonsense, Bang Martin.”

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