Matteo's friend changed the topic of their conversation and asked Matteo '" Will you go there for gambling tonight?"
Matteo nodded his head and asked "Will not you go there?"
" If there is not much business in the restaurant, I'll also go." Matteo's friend answered.
Matteo nodded his head and continued to finish his meal without talking anymore.
**********
Carl who was studying at his room, heard the sound of his parents' car which was reaching towards the Solveig mansion. He checked the time and it was 12'o clock in the night.
Carl's parents are working together at the Solveig company and they would always reach the home at a time like this.
Carl Walked towards the small balcony in his room and looked down at his parents who were getting down from the car.
One of the bodyguards is opening the door for Carl's parents to get down from the car. After getting down, his mother and father directly walked towards the mansion.
Even after his parents went inside, Carl remained in the balcony and looked at the night sky above him.
The time passed by the minute by minute and Carl checked the time again.
It has passed 30 minutes since he came out of his room to the balcony.
His parents must be sleeping soundly by now.
Little bit loneliness appeared in the eyes of Carl.
Does his parents really love him as his mom says to him always?
Then, why don't they even come and see him before they are going to the bed to sleep?
Don't they want see him and ask him about his wellbeing and how is he doing at his school?
Carl and his parents would only see each other for few minutes a day and it would be only at the morning before Carl goes to the school. Even in that moment, they wouldn't usually have any words with each other at all, if it wasn't for an important matter.
Is this really okay?
Is this the real way to have a relationship with each other?
May be this is his parents' way to love him.
Anyway, he has been living in this way with his parents since he was a small child
So, why he is suddenly feeling a little bit lonely in his heart?
He shouldn't be this way.
He sighed in his heart and went inside of his room again.
Carl tidied up his studying table and he was readied to go to the bed but his attention was taken away by a something on his table. It was the note which Zenaida wrote for him to apologize.
He took it in to his hands and stared at it with an intense gaze. Then, he mumbled to himself " You are the only strange one here. "
"Why are you extremely worried about me in that way? I won't die from not eating a single meal. Even my own parents never have been worried about me missing a meal. May be they wouldn't even care, if I were to eat or not for a whole day." He mumbled again in a very emotional voice.
After mumbling to himself, he put that note on his desk and went to his bed while carrying his cellphone in his hand.
Carl lied down on the bed and leaned back towards the headboard of the bed while fiddling with his phone. Then, he stared at a certain contact which was saved as ' silly girl 'on his phone.
Should he call Zenaida now?
Is she already in the bed?
It is too much late at night now.
Carl doesn't know why but he is feeling the urge to call her right at this moment.
He pressed the call button on his phone and put the phone to his ear.
Zenaida's phone rang and Carl waited for Zenaida to answer.He hoped in his heart that she is still awake for whatever reason in this late at night. He wanted to talk to her so badly now.
' Ring!! Ring!!'
" Zenaida, why is your phone ringing like this in the middle of the night?" Ava who was sleeping beside Zenaida in the Zenaida's bed complained to her in a sleepy voice.
Zenaida who was also in the middle of sleeping, got up from the bed. She hurriedly walked towards her studying table at her room to answer the incoming phone call.
Who is calling her now?
She has never received a phone call from anyone at this time?
Is it her uncle?
Is he in any kind of trouble?
With that thought Zenaida immediately answered her phone" Hello!!!"
Carl who was in the other side of the phone call , smiled lightly when Zenaida answered his call eventhough it was late at night. When Zenaida took the time to answer his call, he thought that she wouldn't definitely answer his call.
But she answered his call and he felt happy about that. Also, he felt little bit happy to hear her voice too.
Zenaida asked again " Hello, who is this? "
This time, Carl felt the sleepiness in her voice.
Was she in the middle of her sleep?
If so, did he disturb her sleep?
He shouldn't have done that.
With this thought, he immediately asked Zenaida without revealing his identity to her " Were you sleeping? Then, we can talk at another time. I will hang up now. "
Zenaida was wide awakened by the voice of the other party in the phone call. Her face was written with utter surprise.
This voice?
She could recognize this voice no matter where she was to hear it.
This is definitely the Carl's voice. She was so sure about it but she couldn't believe the fact that the person in the other end of the phone call is Carl Solveig.
Is she even hallucinating about Carl now?
Zenaida couldn't believe that Carl would take the initiative to call her ever. Even more to that she was sure that he wouldn't call in the middle of the night in this way.
