Valen For You's

Billy Stevenson

Alden released Milka as soon as he reached the car park.

"Go back first, Mil. I'm gonna get some wind first." Alden throws his car keys at Milka, then he leaves without Milka being able to protest again.

Alden walked to the park not far from the hotel. His mind is currently in chaos. And Alden doesn't want to interact with people, because he's afraid he'll explode again.

Alden just sat there staring at the people passing by. He saw a couple walking with their 3-year-old son. They seem very happy. The father took his son, while the mother fed the child ice cream.

Happy families. Alden himself never knew what a family meant. He only understood if his biological father ran away from responsibility. Alden's mother Mira has to fend for herself until she becomes a maid in the Sebastian Family. Mira agrees to have Alden taken over as her son. But alas, their togetherness was only short, because Mira finally died. If only Alden's father would take responsibility, Alden would feel what a family is like. Alden could also feel what the little boy in front of him was feeling.

And for that reason, Alden wants to take responsibility for Valen. He did not want what happened to him to happen to his son later. Yeah, Alden's gonna apologize to Valen. He had to fight to repair his household for the sake of the child.

"Sorry, can you sit here?" an old man shocked Alden. He smiled at Alden politely.

"Yes, just sit down, Om." Alden shifted his body so that the bench was enough to sit 2 people.

"Why sit here alone, young man?" ask the man curious.

"Find the wind, Om."

The man nodded and remained silent. He also saw the scene in front of him that looked so soothing.

"Didn't they look so harmonious?" ask the man to Alden.

"Yes, it looks like that." Alden replied briefly.

"Om so remember the boy om."

"Why him?" Alden, who usually has never been in the business of people, is now starting to be interested in the person next to him.

"Om has made a big mistake. Om has left Om's pregnant girlfriend. And he took Om's son somewhere."

Alden was shocked to hear the man's honest confession.

"Why doesn't Om want to take responsibility? It's not so gentle."

"Yes.Om is a coward. At that time the Om family urged Om to marry the woman of their choice. Om's girlfriend found out and she finally ran away." The man glared as he recalled his dark past.

"Now, is Om sorry?"

Alden did not respond to the man again. His decision to take responsibility is correct. Although her marriage to Valen is not okay and far from happy, but Alden is grateful because he did not make a mistake that will eventually lead to regret.

"Excuse me first." The man wakes up. But, his head felt dizzy. The man would have fallen if Alden hadn't been so quick to help him.

"Om with whom?" asked Alden who had now grabbed the man's arm onto his shoulder.

"alone."

"I'm taking Om home?" tawar Alden's.

The man stared at Alden for quite a while. He then gave Alden the car keys, a sign he agreed to take him home.

In the park there is only one black Audi car. Alden without asking much more immediately pushed the old man into his car.

"Om old, why go for a walk by yourself?" ask Alden to the point.

The old man chuckled at Alden's blunt words.

"Om bored at home. Om just wanted to take a walk."

After the man entered, Alden spun around to get into the car as well.

Alden started running his car. He repeatedly looked towards the passenger seat to make sure that the old man was fine.

"What's your name?" ask the old man.

"Alden Sebastian."

"You're Dimas' son or Ben's?"

"Why do you know?" Alden did not answer back to ask. Obviously the person next to Alden is not a random person because he knows Sebastian's family.

"Yes, they're Om's relatives."

"If it were Om himself? What's Om's name?"

"I, Billy Stevenson. Just call Steve."
