The Perfect Match

The Perfect Match
Notification


That night, dinner was awkward. Only Carl looks cheerful and awaits the good news he will get. A waiter put so many dishes on the table. Some fruit and dessert that is so tempting neatly arranged in the middle of the table. They begin to eat the main course, some light conversation and questions surrounding Carl's activities begin to sound. The sound of violin friction makes this dinner more romantic.


Dinner this time was different, not at Richard's or Justin's. They choose a fancy restaurant and will taste some food for Ken and Valerie's wedding later. All he knows, only Carl hasn't been told. Everything becomes awkward and Carl is afraid to be disappointed.


After the main meal was finished, they tasted the presented dessert. Fresh sweet taste makes the throat feel light. A passenger came with a trolley, took all the empty plates. As things began to go back into silence and all that was left was the sound of the violin scraping back, Richard started to cleared his throat, making everyone turn their gazes to Richard. “Carl.”


Feeling called, Carl smiles cheerfully, “Ya, Dad.” He was really looking forward to what Richard was going to say.


“That's good news we'll get. A friend of mine, Abraham Carolus, asked you to play the lead role in a novel that will be adapted into a film. Midnight in Paris.” Richard said, clenching his hands, he was not ready to say the essence of this dinner.


Carl opened his mouth, his eyes were patterned and screeches were happy as soon as they sounded. “Jeez Dad, I know that famous director! Even the novel is a hot topic at the moment. Oh, I really didn't expect to be chosen like this.” A bit of relief enveloped Richard's heart, his son who had never made any trouble now looking happy. Richard thinks hard what gifts are suitable for Carl, replacing the news of his matchmaking that Ken will replace.


“And another Carl, your brother Ken, gave his private jet to you.” Carl's gaze turned to Kenrich, the cold face smiling.


“Kak? Is correct? Oh I'm really grateful.” Carl is so happy and cheerful, but he himself is confused by all this, his birthday is still far away and there is no special day for today.


“May you like my little gift Carl.” Ken.


Carl's smile faded instantly, his forehead shriveled and he immediately looked at Valerie, the woman not only smiled a little and seemed to show his apology to Carl. “Married? With whom?” Carl asked me, it feels so like a fool who knows nothing.


“With me Carl, sorry can just tell you now. Valerie said if you don't have any relationship, and for everyone, yesterday's news isn't entirely a lie, we do have a hidden relationship behind the media.” Ken smiles triumphantly at Carl, as if warning him that everything has been answered. Yes, Ken felt this was all Carl's fit for acceptance, even more painful than just seeing them cheating on him.


“Ken.” Alicia warns, she realizes Ken's smile is mocking Carl.


Carl stood up, looking at everyone in disbelief. This is outrageous and he does not accept it. “What does all this mean? Don't you all know that I love Valerie?”


“Carl sat back down and was polite. Appreciate the parents here.” Richard said sternly, making Carl clench his hands and sit down with a feeling of annoyance. Be ill.
