The Charm Behind the Mist

Parry's Statement.

~Happy Reading~

The next day, Carren went to work as usual. By late afternoon, Carren asked for permission to go home early, because he was going to attend Parry's birthday. For that, he stopped by the salon to creambath, so as to eliminate a little fatigue.

He tries to perform well, not wanting to embarrass Parry in front of his extended family. Do not let the conversation that does not wear. Parry had a different friend, like the earth and the sky. When he was a teenager and young, he didn't think too much about it. He is from an incapable family.

Now he has a good income. So that he did not want to embarrass himself and his friend in the midst of the crowd by appearing sober. She understood, when Parry asked her to dress nice. Previously, Parry had never asked for it. Especially now that Parry has worked and has a position in his company. Carren was very understanding after connecting with many people in developing his business.

An appearance can give a special impression for others to judge who we are. That made some time ago, Carren bought a dress. Although not branded, but he really likes his simple model, knee-length and color that matches his heart.

So when worn by Carren, the shirt looks like from a famous boutique. Especially, one would focus on her who looked extremely elegant. The shirt when worn by Carren, makes him classy.

After the time came, Carren ordered a car online to drive him to the restaurant that Parry had sent. The restaurant was so famous that many people held events at the restaurant.

When Parry sent her birthday party venue, Carren had been browsing to check what the place was like. Goropaku Restaurant is a luxury restaurant that can only be visited by moneyed people and officials.

So if you hear people holding lunch, dinner or events at Goropaku Restaurant, you can find out what the financial condition of the person is like. Or from where, they come from.

Before arriving in front of the restaurant, Carren contacted Parry to inquire about his position. He did not want to go down and enter, before Parry and his family arrived at the restaurant.

When she found out Parry was at the restaurant and asked her to come in, Carren got out of the car. Parry was already waiting for him inside the restaurant, making Carren feel a little relieved. He got out of the car while topping Parry's purse for her. It was the single most precious item among all those he had at the time.

Carren deliberately wears the bag to compensate for his simple appearance, he said. So if anyone wants to judge from the items he is wearing, there is a valuable bag of his. People won't know, it's Parry's gift.

Carren stepped inside the restaurant and Parry greeted him with a smiling face. Seeing the smile on Parry's face, Carren felt a little relieved. "Your family hasn't come yet?" Carren asked as he was welcome to sit down by Parry with a chair drawn for him.

"My family won't come, because we're already celebrating at home. I want to celebrate my birthday with you. It's okay, isn't it?" Parry asked, looking at Carren's changed face.

"You didn't say you were going to celebrate alone, so I didn't have to bother thinking about my appearance. Look, I had to carry this bag." Carren said as he lifted Parry's handbag.

"I did it on purpose, so you could look different tonight. You look different and very beautiful. I hope you have a long glass. To know, you'd be so pretty if you gave yourself time to pamper yourself." Parry said seriously, but his face was smiling.

"Neither need to fight. I forgive you now, for having a birthday. You're also very different tonight. It turns out birthdays can change a person's appearance, yeah." Carren said with a happy smile to see Parry's cool look in his eyes.

"Hey, I said the truth. Good thing, my birthday just changes us both, not everyone else. Let's eat first, just talk about the change." Parry said with a smiling face, then gave a signal to waiters to provide a menu that had been ordered.

Carren enjoyed the dinner with a happy heart, as the menu ordered by Parry was really delicious. The sea menu is processed in a special way, making it taste very different and delicious. Carren ate out all the menus provided. He was a little more free to eat, because he did not eat with the Parry family.

"Ngga, enough. My stomach could explode. There's another dessert, right? Here I stay a little place on the side of my belly." Said Carren, patting his stomach on the right. He tried to joke because he was caught eating voraciously.

While enjoying the dessert, Parry sees Carren with a fickle face. Looking at Parry's point of view, Carren is reminded of the birthday gift provided to Parry.

"Parry, this is my first birthday present for you. All this time I you didn't want me to give you a gift. But tonight I hope you can take it. Now I have the money to buy you a gift. Don't look at the price, yeah. I can only buy that." Carren took out a box from inside the bag and gave it to Parry. Parry's face changed. Not because of the card, but because of Carren's words.

"I didn't think I'd get a gift from you tonight. Thank ye. Can I open it?" Parry asked and opened it after seeing Carren nod. He smiled happily at the sight of a tie in accordance with the tribal colors and lines. He looked at Carren's face and tie alternately, while saying 'TQ'.

"Actually I don't think I'm going to receive a gift. But I've prepared this for you and you have to take it." Parry took a small box from his suit pocket and gave it to Carren.

"Well, thanks Parry. You have a birthday, but I got a present too. Can I open it?" Carren asked and opened it after seeing Parry nod his head. When she saw a beautiful necklace and pendant, Carren was glued and looked at Parry as if in disbelief.

"I love you and I really hope you'll be my lover." Parry felt very relieved after being able to say that sentence, after thinking about it for months or even years. Carren looked at Parry's face with eyes dewy from being moved.

"Parry, thank you for saying that tonight. You are a special man in my heart. Because you're always there at every difficult time. I love you as much as I love Naina. You are the brothers I have. You make me feel like a precious person."

Parry looked into Carren's tear-stained eyes with an erratic feeling. "I know Carren. That's why it took me a long time to say this to you. Can't you change that affection, and make me your lover?" Tanya Parry was still hopeful. His heart was very sad to see Carren's eyes that began to shed tears.

"I'm sorry Parry. Let me keep you like this. The brother that I don't have, who so full-chested came asking for your affection and your attention just like Sister Naina did to you."

"I believe God will provide you with a special woman, who is worthy of you. Before you say this I always pray, begging that you can have a companion who can support you. Because you're good, even very good. You have a special heart. Later, the woman who can have your heart is a very happy woman." Said Carren who had shed tears.

Parry took out a handkerchief and gave it to Carren. "Already, wipe your tears. Don't make me sad because I said that. I held everything back for so long, for not wanting to see you sad like this." Parry said with dewy eyes.

"Calm down. I will try to balance your feelings by considering you as a substitute for Naina. So stop crying, because I can't comfort you as my brother. What's in my heart right now, you're my lover." Parry said, stroking the hand of Carren who was holding the gift box from him.

"I'm sorry, Parry." Carren said and his tears flowed back. She takes the handkerchiefs Parry gives to wipe away her tears, as they are in the restaurant. He was worried that someone would see them.

"You have rejected my love, no longer refuse my cards. That's what I bought for you as Carren. Whatever your status is to me, my brother or my lover. So don't feel burdened to wear that." Parry said seriously, and Carren nodded and put it in the bag.

Simultaneously, on the other side of the restaurant there were four eyes watching them. "Isn't that Parry and Carren?"
