Escorted Home by the Boss
In apartment number 14, two friendly men were talking on the balcony in the cold night. They were both sipping hot chocolate and sitting on a bench on the balcony. Talking about something that had been bothering his mind all this time. They were Gifer and Haris. Gifer was actually confused, whether to accept or even reject the offer from Belvina to do eye surgery so that he could see again as before. Of course Gifer wanted to, but there was a sense of prestige that enveloped his heart so he rejected his lover’s offer, causing resentment between the two of them. Gifer wanted to tell Haris about this, hoping that his friend could give advice or even input that could calm his heart.
“Ris, I want to tell you,”
“Tell me, what is your complaint, so that I can help,”
“Belvina wants me to do eye surgery when I find the right donor. She is looking for eye donors in various hospitals,”
“Yes, that’s good, so what’s the problem?” Asked Haris with his usual flat face.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“But I rejected it,”
“What’s the reason you rejected it?”
“Ris, seriously. Yes, the intention is good so that I can see again after getting the eye donor, but, I just don’t want to trouble Belvina. The cost of eye surgery alone is definitely not small, but Belvina dared to find eye donors to various hospitals just for me. Then when the surgery takes place, she’ll also use her money. I feel bad for being indebted to her, Ris. I don’t want to trouble her. After all, he also works in our country to support his family back home, right?” Gifer’s explanation was so lengthy that it made the man with the square smile think hard while rubbing his forehead with his right hand.
“Huh, all you have to do is pay Gif. If possible, pay before Belvina pays during the operation. It’s easy, right? Actually life is easy, it’s just your mind that makes it difficult,” Haris said casually while enjoying the night view that was so beautiful to look at with the shiny crescent moon above.
“It’s really good if you just talk about it. It’s the doing that’s hard, Ris. Still, Belvina will still not want it if I pay,”
“Then turn it around,”
“What do you mean, Ris? Don’t make me even more annoyed with your absurd suggestion, please give me a reasonable suggestion,” Gifer complained while ruffling his hair roughly.
“Turn it around, if Belvina has paid for your eye donor. Then you should also pay for Belvina’s family. Ah, I mean you can also compensate for it by fulfilling Belvina’s wishes,” Haris suggested.
“Wow, what crazy things are you saying, Ris? Uh, wait. What do you mean obeying Belvina’s every whim?”
“Yes, it could be when Belvina will invite you to travel in her city,” Haris replied.
“Hmm, I’ll think about it.”
“That’s it. Go call Belvina. Your girlfriend also needs news by the way. Don’t make him argue that he has a girlfriend but feels like he doesn’t have one,” Haris really made Gifer laugh a little this time.
“Hahahaha, yes. Since yesterday I haven’t contacted her because I’m still angry with her,” Gifer regretted a bit what he did to Belvina who had been kind enough to find an eye donor for him. He should have thanked his girlfriend, instead of silencing her.
“Getting angry all the time, don’t get used to it, Gif. Your relationship might not last long,” Haris suggested which made Gifer nod his head obediently.
“Yes, Ris. I’ll try to think more maturely.” Haris also smiled seeing his best friend was able to improve his relationship with his girlfriend again.

That afternoon, when returning from the welcoming ceremony of WR Bank’s new company owner, Belvina and Anggi were sitting at the bus stop near WR Bank’s headquarters while playing with their cell phones. Belvina who opened her cell phone but there was no chat or call from her lover immediately closed her cell phone again with a feeling of annoyance.
“Aish, what’s wrong with him? Even now he hasn’t contacted me at all, huh!” Belvina’s annoyance was shown at the bus stop which fortunately was still empty, there were no school students sitting on the elongated bench. Anggi also giggled amused to see her best friend who already had a lover even looked upset because there was no message from her lover.
“Haha, try calling her first, Vin. It’s just a hassle,”
“It’s prestigious, I don’t want to!”
“Yes, don’t complain if you model like that,”
“Aishh, just one guy already makes me almost crazy, what exactly do you want? He’s looking for an eye donor instead of being happy to see again, but he’s just silencing me like this!”
“Ask your lover, I don’t know the answer,” Anggi replied casually.
“Vin, by the way stop your behavior, aren’t you embarrassed if you’re seen by the school children who have gone home and are queuing at this bus stop? It could even be that if there are aunties who have just returned from the market, seeing your behavior, they will think you are crazy,” Anggi spoke while covering his mouth with both hands.
“What the hell? Besides, it’s quiet here, so I’m free if I want to vent my frustration, wle!” Belvina stuck out her tongue.
“Dih, you can’t believe it either,” When they were busy talking, suddenly a black luxury car stopped in front of the two of them.
The glass of the black car was lowered, revealing the handsome face of a man who was driving the car alone. That man was the one they had met earlier inside WR Bank’s headquarters. Knowing that it was their superior, they both bowed as a sign of respect between superiors and subordinates.
“Ah, Mr. Ian. Is there anything we can do for you?” Anggi asked.
“Are you guys here waiting for the bus to pass? It looks like it’s going to be a long wait for the bus in the afternoon, because it’s getting crowded. Better come with my car,” offered the man who was said to be the owner of the name Ian. Suddenly the two looked surprised and stared at each other for a while, then turned their eyes towards the handsome face of their boss.
“Isn’t it troublesome sir?” Anggi asked again. Belvina was silent, knowing that the man in front of her was Anggi’s target.
“No, come in!” Ian ordered happily. They both got into Ian’s car, more precisely in the passenger seat. After thinking that the two girls had entered his car, Ian immediately drove the car back.
“Oh yeah, where do you live?” Ian asked. All this time, the handsome man occasionally glanced at Belvina who was just silent while staring outside the car window.
“We live in the same apartment, sir. In Rose’s apartment,” Anggi replied.
“Ah, there it is,” said Ian.
“Emm, by the way, why has your friend been silent all day?” Ian asked, breaking the silence between them.
“Ah, she’s just not in the mood, sir. He’s upset because his girlfriend hasn’t given her news,” replied Anggi who was immediately rewarded with a death glare from his best friend.
“Hehe, yeah sorry.”
“Oh yeah, we haven’t met yet. I’m Ian, what’s your name?”
“I’m Anggi,” Anggi shyly answered.
“And the one next to you?”
“I’m Belvina, sir.” Finally after a long wait, Belvina finally opened her voice too, making Ian’s heart warm.
Not waiting long, Ian’s car was parked in front of their apartment. The two of them got out of Ian’s car together.
“Thank you, sir, for the ride. Do you want to stop by?” Anggi asked.
“You’re welcome. Ah, if that’s the case, maybe another time, Anggi. You guys go in first.” Belvina immediately walked into the elevator, while Anggi walked while still occasionally looking back. Still wanting to see Ian’s handsome face.
