What is she rambling like a crazy person?
When Zenaida was regretting about her words, Carl said while smiling at Zenaida "What is that about? Why did you think that I wouldn't call you ever?"
Is he smiling at her?
Zenaida felt little bit embarrassed about it but she was happy that Carl was smiling because of her. She also smiled along with him and said " It's nothing."
Carl knew what Zenaida meant by it's nothing. He wasn't surprised by what she said too because Zenaida didn't talk with him for more than two years, until he talked to her first at that time.
If he didn't take the initiative to call her now, she wouldn't surely call him ever again either.
After that, Carl and Zenaida both remained silent without saying anything. They both didn't know what to say to each other or what to ask from each other.
The time passed by the second by second and the silence fell between them.
Finally, Carl took the initiative to say " Good night. "
Zenaida also said to Carl " Good night!! "
Then, Carl cut off the call first.
After cutting off the call, Carl put away his phone on the bedside table and stayed awake without lying down on his bed.
After staying like that for few seconds, he lied down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep. His previous loneliness was completely vanished after his phone conversation with Zenaida.
**********
Even after Carl cut off his call, Zenaida stared at the her phone screen with a wide smile on her face. She felt quite happy in her heart by the phone call of Carl.
Today is the first time which they had a phone conversation like this. Also, Carl is the one who took the initiative to call her too. They just talk like two normal friends.
Does this mean Carl care about her even a little bit?
Shouldn't it be right?
Carl even has asked Roy for her number. If he doesn't care about her at all, he wouldn't have called her in this way either.
Carl isn't the type to go through all these troubles for any kind of person. Zenaida has never seen that Carl is being caring towards any other person at school.
So, Zenaida felt really happy in her heart that Carl cares about her even in a smallest amount.
Ava stared at Zenaida with her heavy eyelids. She felt really sleepy right now. Despite her sleepiness, she still stared at Zenaida.
Zenaida is really looking like an idiot now.
Why is she smiling by herself in that way?
Ava knows that Zenaida is being just happy about the phone call of Carl. According to what she heard, Carl has just called Zenaida in the pure purpose of asking about her sudden leave from the school. She knows that Zenaida must be on cloud nine now.
But, Ava was feeling very sleepy right now and she isn't in the mood to care about anything else than her sleepiness . She wanted to put all the matters aside and continue her previous sleeping without any further more disturbance from anyone else.
"Zenaida, don't act like a fool and come right away to the bed. It is too much late at night." Right after saying that Ava lied down on the bed and closed her eyes tightly to sleep.
But she didn't forget to complain in a small voice " Why did Carl even call at a time like this?"
Zenaida who was in a good mood, didn't care about Ava's attitude and went to the bed obediently as Ava asked her to do.

"Mr. Solveig and Mrs. Solveig, It is nice to cooperate with your company in this way. I hope that our two companies will be able to go a long way with each other in the future too. " A man who is wearing an office suit said to the man and woman who were sitting in front of him with officials attires like him.
The three of them are sitting in the middle of a huge office room at the Solveig company. After hearing that man's word, other man who was in front of him said to him "Mr. Arne, we hope for the same thing as you too."
Mr. Arne again said " Why don't we try to strengthen our bond between our two families by the marriage of our children? My daughter, Anna seems to like your son so much. "
This time, mrs. Solveig took the initiative to talk " Yeah. I was also thinking about the same thing as you. Aren't Carl and Anna attending the same school too? "
"Yeah. They are attending the same school and both of them are 18 years old for this year too. " Mr. Arne said.
" Then, we should arrange their engagement right after they finished their high school." Mrs. Solveig suggested to mr. Arne.
Mr. Arne readily agreed to the mrs. Solveig's suggestion while saying " Then, there would be only left two months for that. I think that we should discuss about this matter with our kids too. It will make them easier to get to know each other well before their engagement."
Mrs. Solveig nodded her head at mr. Arne's suggestion and said "I will talk with Carl about this matter tonight. "
After they discussed about their children's engagement, they started to talk about the business matters among Solveig company and Arne company.

"Anna, daughter, your friends have come to see you. So, wake up now and come downstairs quickly." Anna's mother called out for Anna who was soundly sleeping on her bed.
The bright star high school students only have to attend to the school in the week days. They can freely relax at their homes in the weekend days. Since, today is a holiday from the school, Anna invited her friends to come to her place to chill out and have some fun.
