Karel's face was also replaced with a face of sand. He really wanted to beg not to be betrothed. She already had Vania, the girl she had been dating for two months, but she had already given so much to her. The girl had shaped him into a love slave. It's sad, but the name is also love, so please understand.
“I don't want to be betrothed!” Karel repeated his rejection again in a loud voice, until the household assistant in the kitchen could hear his assertiveness.
No need to finish counting to the number three, the dinner napkin that Lady Sophia used to hold her macaroni soup pot, had landed exactly on Karel's face.
“Dengerin first!” hardik Lady Sophia. Karel immediately looked down, not daring if his mother was like that. Do not Karel, even his father just mingkem without being ordered. In the office, Mr. Peter is in complete control, but the house is in the hands of Sophia's power.
“Next, Honey,” chirps Madame Sophia again once Karel has been successfully silenced. Mr. Peter nodded with a spoiled smile towards his wife. Romantic at once.
“So, our three resorts in Manila are showing a positive development trend. Our profit there is high, especially in the Cebu area. Daddy will send you there. It is time you apply the knowledge you have gained all the way to USA.”
Karel was stunned by his father's explanation, “This is as bad as matchmaking,” he murmured.
“But, Dad, that responsibility is too big. I haven't had enough experience for such a big responsibility. Please let me learn more first from you, Dad, please,” please Karel.
“If not start learning, you onwards will never be able.”
“Agree,” Sophia continued with a smile that Karel considered as a mocking smile. Mr. Peter and Mrs Sophia agreed to be in the same understanding, which unfortunately went against Karel's wishes.
“How about under my leadership the resort went bankrupt?” Karel continued to look for reasons to avoid.
“Owwh easy solution,” sahut Nyonya Sophia fast with fingers flicked, “mobile sportmu which will be sold first.”
“My favorite car?? Oh no, no, can't!” Of course Karel would desperately defend the car, because Vania would never want to be invited out if not to ride the car. Fix matre si Vania, but Karel was somehow hypnotized.
“Makanya later the right work,” as always Lady Sophia.
“But, Dad, let me learn from Daddy first. Mom, help donk,” please Karel who this time looked at Madam Sophia, hope.
Again Lady Sophia just smiled while shaking her head, “Daddy and Mommy have decided you will represent Daddy at the Manila headquarters. Point.”
It's hopeless if Madame Sophia has said the word ‘dot’. Karel leaned lethargic in his chair while his hands were still holding the spoon and fork.
Mr. Peter smilingly looked affectionately at Madam Sophia and said, “Darling.”
“Owh yes, sorry, Honey,” said Madame Sophia while returning the smile of her husband who seemed to be reminding something.
“Except what, Mom?” pursue Karel enthusiastically and that reaction is what his parents are waiting for. Will Karel fall into their trap?
“Unless you promise to do what Mommy asks.” Again there was a condition, as it was in the mind of Karel, who was well known about his mother. There are so many roads to Rome for every goal his mother wants to achieve and for sure he will be caught off guard, but hopefully this time it will give him enough advantage despite getting wet.
“Promise to do what, Mom?” karel was impatient. Provided it can still meet with Vania, and can still reign supreme over his fantastic sports car.
“But this is not forcing you! Do not let you protest in a big way because of this. Promise?”
“Yes, Mom, promise. Tell me what it is.” Karel looked increasingly impatient and Mr. Peter just smiled as he nodded. Apart from this matchmaking business in relation to the company, maybe as the successor of the family company, maybe, Karel had to be taught to persevere and was not immediately rash just because of something he tried to reject without considering whether the offer had a good side or not for him.
“Promise won't get mad!” continued Lady Sophia again who was deliberately stalling for time so that Karel increasingly impatient.
“Iya, Mom. Appointment!” asserted Karel again, it does not seem to want to think long as the origin can immediately know what the exception is so as not to be sent to Manila.
“Married to Valen.” Lady Sophia smiled, “how is the offer?”
"Gosh, Mom. It's the same as making a bet." Karel protested with a grimacing face, feeling like crying but embarrassed at an age that was already a lot.
"Owh, of course it's different. This is you are not betrothed, you want to know. Don't blame Mommy and Daddy donk." Lady Sophia also did not want to lose defending herself from Karel.
Let's just say it's a conspiracy that Mr. Peter and Mrs Sophia committed with the initiator being Lady Sophia, Karel's mother. This is one of the strong reasons Karel is looking for a woman who is not chatty and looks to dominate men, the experience of seeing his father makes him unable if later to face a chatty wife.
Karel's legs felt soaring when standing up to go to the office, because he saw his father had already moved from his chair while walking in tandem with his mother, like a couple who would walk to the wedding altar. Not only this was the reason, but because he was finally betrothed.
"It turns out that it's terrible to also have romantic parents who are immeasurably like this." Karel muttered as he walked slowly tailing behind his parents like a bridal clamp. Amused also he imagined that later his wife as soon as his mother, invited him to perform a ritual like this every breakfast.
The situation Karel faced was not much different from Valen's. At the dinner table, Valen is also in negotiations with his parents. Valen's face sometimes paled, and not infrequently also pouted.
"Mama's not fair then, Mama married Papa for love. You're not your match, are you?" Valen whined half the protest.
"Ups, errata. Mama married Papa not just out of love, Val. But because Papa was chasing after Mama. Your father was married at the time." Madam Alea chuckled with a proud look on her husband. Mr. Frets was forced to smile too, assuring with a forced though upset also because his disgrace was opened.
Valen held both cheeks and ended up covering his face with both palms. Either be ashamed or should be proud of the honesty of his parents. Amazing also has parents with this communication style, too honest.
"Well, then can I not find a man who loves me? Like Papa used to love Mama, keep newly married," Valen asked with a smile to praise his mother to melt her heart. Madam Alea stared intently at Valen, could she be so angry that she even sped up the marriage?
