Cecelia said with a serious tone, "Michal, it's you? What a surprise it is that you would call me. I've been looking for an opportunity to visit you, and I just can’t find the right chance. I'm really sorry. I met Karl in Khebury four years ago. Time flies, and he is now already a grownup. Excellent talker and sharp thinker. You have raised him so well."
Cecelia took the initiative to ramble on.
Michal laughed over the phone, "You are too kind. We are relatives anyhow, and I have not visited you all these years, and I feel so bad about that."
"Michal, how have you been?" Cecelia asked in a soft voice.
"I'm fine. I'm calling you today to tell you some good news." Michal was in a very good mood.
"Oh, what's that?" Cecelia raised her voice, slightly excited.
"My son is getting married, and I'm calling you to ask when it will be convenient for you. I'll send you an invitation and pay you a visit on the way." Michal said happily.
"Really? Is Karl getting married?" Cecelia got up from her chair, "Great, best wishes from the bottom of my heart. Which girl is it?"
"You should have heard of her. She is Senator Sanchez's daughter, Juanita, the current secretary general of the municipal government," Michal introduced.
"What a great thing it is! When is the wedding then? I'll be there for sure." Cecelia's brow arched in relief. It had been a long time since she had heard such good news. Michal was married to Chief Justice Chester Gregory, and her son Karl was a leading figure in the legal profession. And now he was marrying Senator Sanchez's daughter. What a match was that!
"Next month. Cecelia, when would it be convenient for you? I'll send you an invitation." Michal asked.
"I would feel terrible to ask you to come all the way. Michal, I'd like to go to the Cole residence and meet with you.” Cecelia asked.
