It's been a year and a half that Valen looks at the same view every day from his office. The street is filled with cars with honking horns and the crowds of visitors to the mall located across from the office building.
Valen's responsibility as the first child to continue the family business is not an easy thing for him to accept, in the midst of his passion for living a free life. But his father's death makes Valen inevitably responsible for the continuation of his father's company, which has been built since his father was young.
Valen is the first child in his family, he has a younger sister who is still studying in Singapore. His mother, who is currently a widow who might not feel lonely because her husband left her is a slightly correct view. Because since childhood Valentinus realized that the relationship between his father and mother was not harmonious.
His father is busy working, with the excuse of providing for their family, which is evident, and his mother is a woman who escapes the loneliness she suffers from by hanging out with her female friends.
For Valentinus and his sister, they were used to living under the care of their nanny from childhood, and hardly ever saw their father and mother together and chatted with them.
It's just that since college, his father began to often invite Valentinus to go meet his father's business partners, and also tour all their business areas. Valen is actually not very interested, but Valen tries to appreciate his father's work.
Valentinus was quite young when he started to take over his father's business when his father had his first stroke battle about 3 years ago, and Valen was under the guidance of his father's confidant as the general manager of the company. It was only after his father died that Valentinus officially replaced his father as President Director of the company. And today, it's been a year and a half for Valen to hold that position.
Valentinus shifted from where he was standing, then towards his desk where there were still piles of contracts that he had to approve immediately. His head was a little dizzy, so he called his secretary to make him a cup of bitter coffee.
The phone on his desk rang, and after slightly nodding, Valen seemed to hang up the phone, sighed, then picked up the receiver again telling his secretary to prepare the car, because Valen would soon meet one of the problematic clients with his lawyer.
"Do you want to bring coffee, sir?" asked the secretary.
"Oh, you don't have to." Valen answered short.
