The Extraordinary Handsome Devil

There is no hope

The night wind blows fast enough that the falling leaves also fly in an uncertain direction. That night at the bus stop Valen sat pensively alone with a cell phone in his hand. Ignore the people who are passing around him.

Both of his eyes were focused on the screen of the phone. Rereading the type he wrote for someone. But a second later he deleted the message again and retyped the message again.

But again after that he deleted back the message he would send to Bianca. So many times until finally Valen mend_sah frustrated and put his phone back into the sling bag that he brought.

Why the name Bianca that always appears in his brain in every himself is a problem. Valen is confident for this time Bianca will not be able to help him, like his previous problems. 

Valen's head was dizzy not playing, but he was sure he had taken medicine. Maybe because his brain kept him forced to think how he could make that kind of money in such a short period of time.

Both of Valen's eyes closed as the voice of the late Bank employee continued in his mind like a broken radio.

"This house has been made collateral by Mr. Calvin for his loan credit."

"Mbak as the heir of Mr. Calvin, must pay off his credit bill, if not want this house confiscated by the Bank."

"And, sorry if Ms. Valen cannot pay the debt until the end of this month, then the land and building of this house will belong to Bank Makmur Jaya."

Valen also opened his eyes slowly with a breath that was simply stifled. Does he have to give up his parents' house with memories that he will not get in any house just like that?

Valen nosedived his throbbing temple with eyes glancing at the watch he was wearing on his wrist. It's 8:38 but the bus that will take him to work hasn't come yet. Valen feels the world is not on his side at all lately and the universe seems to be playing with his life.

...****************...

"Valen please take this drink to the table at the end of it" Daniel asked Valen, who was standing across the bar.

Daniel waited for Valen who was still silent. The woman did not respond until Daniel repeated his words again, "Valen please deliver the drink to Mami Irene, she is waiting!" Daniel clucked when Valen did not respond and leaned over to touch Valen.

"Valen, what do you hear?"

Valen who felt the touch of the hand realized then turned his gaze to Daniel the bartender and his boss.

"Lo if it's not healthy anymore it's okay to go home," Daniel said later as they sat down.

Valen. "I'm fine" Valen replied as his eyes glanced at the drink on the table.

"Where should I take you?" Valen asked while taking the alcoholic drink.

Daniel exhaled and said, "The table at the end." Valen nodded then walked over to the customer's desk with the order in his hand.

Valen let out a long sigh, his mind completely unconcerned for him to bring to work.

"Mommy," said Valen as he placed the tray of the order of the woman holding the phone. Valen is no stranger to the woman in front of him, because the woman is already a regular subscription in this place, even before she works here.

The woman called Mami put her phone on the table, then smiled while looking at Vallen. "You're pale, not as usual. Are you sick?"

Valen nodded as the answer.

"Sit down, you must be exhausted" Mami Irene said as she patted the sofa beside her. Valen was silent. Stand in his place. "It's okay, Daniel won't be angry. If he asks just tell me I told you to sit here," Irene added again when she saw the bad taste on Valen's face.

"I heard you work somewhere other than here. Is that true?" Irene asked then while picking up one cigarette that was on the table. Tuck it between thin lips with red lipstick before finally burning the tip until the tobacco was smoldering.

"true."

Irene exhaled white smoke from her mouth that instantly soared high. "Is it because of the necessities of life until you're willing to work without time?"

Valen. "All the necessities of life need money, Mam," Valen replied with a chuckle that Mami Irene followed. Irene nodded in affirmation.

"I've seen you haven't focused on work. Is there a problem?" Ask Irene later.

Valen took a deep breath while lowering his face. Irene who saw that stroked Valen's back gently.

"Tell me, just the next time I can help," Irena asked.

Valen breathed heavily. Silent for a moment. Won't it be okay for him to tell this matter to someone else? But bearing everything was too heavy. Valen had not dared to ask about this matter to his sister-in-law. Valen is just afraid that Dwi's brother will be thinking like him, for example, he does not know about this debt problem.

"I need a lot of money again, Mam," Valen said, raising his face, looking far ahead. Although Valen knew Mami Irene would not be able to help, Valen also said that at least he could spout his complaints on others.

"How much?" Ask Irene marketing. He felt sorry for Valen. Irene knew she was a good woman who had to work in a place like this.

Irene who saw Valen was still silent took his drink and gulped down the contents.

"600 million, '" Valen's great-grandson was softly still heard by Irene.

"WHAT?" Screeched Irene.

The woman spouted her drink while coughing. His eyes were round, quite shocked by what Valen said. Irene thinks pretty much it's not up to hundreds of millions for a teenager like Valen. But he was actually wrong.

"What's that money for?" Ask Irene marketing.

Valen rubbed his face with both palms looking frustrated and turned his head to look at Mami Irene. "To pay off debt. Can Mommy lend me that kind of money?"

A stupid question that Valen immediately answered. He was too silly to borrow that much money from strangers. Valen closed his eyes resignedly by taking a breath that felt tight.

"Sorry Valen Mami doesn't have that kind of money. Even if someone lends you, what do you want to send them back?"

Valen lowered his head. Silently contemplating the words of Mami Irene that have a point. If he borrows money to someone else how he will return it. It seemed like there would be no hope for him to defend the house left by his parents.

"But Mami has a solution for you, if you are really desperate and need money in a short time."

Valen immediately raised his face back then turned to look at Mami Irene with hope.

Irene smiled as she watched Valen's face and body closely.

"Are you still virgin?"
