Valen For You's

Kneeled

Bram had guessed that Alden would come to their house. As soon as he arrived, Alden immediately shouted for Valen. Bram and Esther sit on the couch quietly, while Alden inspects the whole room looking for Valen.

Yeah, as hard as Alden calls Valen, he won't find Valen. Bram has taken Valen to their family's apartment. Valen will be safer there.

"Quick go." Bram was driven away when Alden returned to the living room where they were sitting.

Alden has only 2 options. He must lower his low self-esteem, or vice versa, Alden will threaten Bram and will not consider Bram as his father-in-law anymore.

"Wait a minute."

"Om Bram." Alden sat down in front of Bram with a pushy look.

"Alden." Esther wanted to raise Alden so he could wake up, but Bram forbade him.

"The biggest mistake I've made in 60 years is letting you marry Valen" Bram said.

Alden did not budge from his place and remained kneeling in front of Bram.

"The misadventures of bad luck came after you married Valen." "Don't think I didn't know your life all along." "I warned you once. But, you still can't take good care of Valen." Bram started to pull out all this time. "Now, Valen is gone. I should have asked you, not the other way around." "Why can Valen go?"

"Bram, control your emotions." remember Esther. She didn't want her husband to get sick from high blood pressure like Alden's adoptive father, who now has to sit in a wheelchair.

"Om, Alden's sorry." "Om right. Alden can't take care of Valen well" Alden said in a hoarse voice. She had to hold back so that her tears wouldn't fall in front of her in-laws. "Allow Alden to meet Valen, Om. I beg you."

"You saw for yourself that Valen wasn't here." Bram looked as if he didn't want to know.

Alden knows that his in-laws are lying. If they don't know about Valen, they're gonna freak out when Alden says Valen ran away.

"Om, just this once please. Alden wants to hear from Valen's own mouth." "If it was him who wanted to part, Alden would back off." Alden could no longer say that. Losing Valen is like losing half of his heart. Only Valen was able to make Alden willingly kneel in front of others.

"Slowly." "You should think before you do that" Bram said.

"Alden will keep coming here every day until Om and Aunt tell Alden where Valen is" Alden said as he stood. He bowed respectfully before finally leaving the Bramantyo family residence.

"It's a little dizzy, but Valen's been taking medicine from the nurse."

"You can't think much, Val. Listen to instrument music and also watch comedy movies." Esther chimed in on her husband's conversation.

"Yes, Mom. Valen's trying to calm down."

Momentary silence.

"Is Alden looking for Valen, Mom?" ask Valen lirih.

Esther looked at Bram. Bram actually gave the code to keep Esther quiet. Esther did not follow her husband's lies. He's afraid Valen's down if he thinks Alden doesn't care about him.

"Yes, he's coming. But take it easy, he's gone."

"Thanks, Dad, Mom."

"You don't have to think about Alden." "Focus it on your health and your child's." "After that, you've just decided what you're going to do with Alden" Esther suggested.

"Yes, Mom. It'll be better like this first." Valen replied lethargic.

"OK, just rest. Tomorrow we'll be there early."

Bram hangs up. He rubbed his face violently. Bram wanted to scream loudly. He was still confused by this situation. Will Valen be able to defend himself and the baby at once? Is the decision to separate Valen from Alden right? But, everything can happen because of Alden.

"Bram, you better take a break too." Esther, who knows her husband, helps Bram to go to bed. It's a long day for them. Their plans fell apart and changed 180° due to the calamity experienced by Valen.

"If anything happens to Valen and my granddaughter, I won't forgive Alden at all times." Bram clenched both his hands.

"That's it. Don't think about Alden any more." Esther said she tried to calm her husband. "We must have found the best solution."

"Hopefully if Valen survives, he can come to his senses and make the right decision."

"Do you still want our son to divorce Alden?" ask Esther curious. Honestly speaking, Esther started to soften up on Alden. When she saw the man's chaotic expression, Esther was convinced that Alden loved Valen 100%. Precisely what Esther feared, would Alden's feelings change after knowing his wife was sick?

"Yes. Looks like Valen better take care of his own son."

Esther could say nothing more. Her husband has a firm stance. He is also very sensitive to a man named Alden. So, Esther won't extend this.
