Valen For You's

Bitter Reality

Cafe Milan's

Valen stared around while occasionally stirring his drink. A few years ago he went here to meet Samuel Sebastian aka Alden's brother. Unfortunately, Valen missed the man and now the man already has a lover and is getting married. Had Valen chosen Sam, maybe his life story wouldn't have been like this.

"Sorry, long wait." Aeris came along with a bodyguard.

Valen smile. "It's okay. I should have come to your place, because you're pregnant now" Valen said.

"Ah, just relax. I'm bored at home, too." Aeris sat leaning back and took a comfortable position.

"What's up, Val?" ask Aeris to the point.

"I want to return your ATM." Valen thrust Aeris' black card in front of the woman. "Alden told me to give it back."

"Lho, why?" Aeris. He really wanted to help Valen with his monthly savings.

"Well, that's how Alden is." "He was stubborn and emotional." confided Valen who then let out a long sigh.

Aeris is quite concerned about Valen. He is the son of a good family and his work is promising. Not like he's just a high school graduate. But, in fact, Valen's life is now quite concerning due to married by accident. It was fortunate that Aeris was able to have an honorable marriage and now she is so happy that Reno loves her so much.

"Val, if you need anything, please let me know." Aeris held Valen's hand.

"Thanks, Ris. In the meantime I don't need anything." Valen smiled slightly at Aeris.

"Then, what are your plans going forward?"

"Plan?"

Valen. If it was before marriage, Valen could answer quickly. She wants to open her clinic branch, also to return to school abroad.

"I don't have a plan." Valen finally replied. She's pregnant young anyway. So, Alden would definitely not allow him to do anything.

"Yes, it's better that way. You should take plenty of rest early in your pregnancy. It doesn't taste good."

"But are you so upset with Reno?"' ask Valen curiously.

"No. I stuck to her all the time." Aeris' face was met red because she remembered what she did to Reno while she was both in the room.

Valen pursed his lips. This may include babies as well. Or is he upset with that guy?

"Hi Re.." Say hello to Alden while sitting on the patient bench in front of Sam.

"Hi Den, congratulations.." Rea smiled slightly at Alden who looked less excited.

"Why did you say he survived?" complain Sam with a cynical tone.

"Darling, you don't like that." Rea restrains Sam who is already standing from his chair. He knows Sam's gonna explode any minute.

"I've been patient enough all this time, Re.." Sam pinched the base of his nose while leaning against his big chair.

"I don't want to bother you. I just wanted to ask Dad" Alden said softly.

"You still dare to ask about Dad's situation?" snapped Sam.

"Sam, let me explain." Rea took over their conversation. He doesn't want Sam to be emotional and end up making things even more messy. This brother-sister feud since the first was quite fierce. So, Rea knew what she had to do.

"Den, Dad had a stroke, and he can't walk right now."

"So, Dad.."

"Yes, he has to use a wheelchair." Rea took a long breath.

"I'm sorry, Re." That's all Alden can say.

"Free, Den. That's because you always do things and never think about it. Now, all those who are affected by your actions." Sam interrupted again.

"Den, my marriage to Sam will be postponed next year."

"Re.." Alden flabbergasted. She's getting bad because Rea and Sam have been waiting for their wedding for a long time. Now the two of them have to delay again as Ben's health deteriorates. Sam looks so emotional.

"That's it. I'm not gonna help you anymore. You have to take care of your own life and try to get Dad to forgive you." Sam moved out of his place. He brought Rea along, leaving Alden still speechless to regret his actions.

Alden rubbed his face violently. Everything was messed up by a mistake. But Alden can't repeat time. He must swallow this harsh reality and live his life with Valen.
