Someone To Have

32: Henituse House

What is a family? Does it have to be blood related? The bond? The length of the time being together? The affection for each other? The favors of one another? The dreams they share? The secrets they knew together? The name they share? The relatives they share? 

Then, the red haired son and the brunette father could only  have a few yes to those questions. Especially after the mother of the family died.

Will it still make them a family? They both love each other as family, but the things are not working out for them, it made them both hurt, one is damaged and the other one in deep guilt.

Will it still work?

Now that the other have found another happiness even without the other one?

It was not surprising to have their bond broken, specially one of them got too weak to hold on to what they have before, so before son could have hurt more than he already have, one has to let go. It might be unfair to the father but it is already unfair to the son.

It might bring him guilt but he is already happy without him, his father doesnt have to be in the picture for him to be happy, like he is in their picture, it just brought them uncertain vibes and awkwardness .

The red haired son, Cale, found himself unable to proceed to what he is supposed to do, he just have to walk to them and tell them he is back and safe, simple as like that. Then why he couldn't? Just because he saw a perfect picture of a perfect family his father has to have.

It is not like he is angry or feeling any hatred to them and especially to his father. He felt its not right to bother them. Not that his mother talking in his head to approach them with a big smile, he felt as it isnt right anymore.

So he turned his heels around and walked away. HE thought it is already defined anyway, he already threw away his remaining connection with him.

Not that he is a coward.

Now, he is with his friends eating with them, he changed everything on his appearance, so no one could bother them, he is much more famous than the crown prince right now, one wrong move and the peace they are having now will shatter. 

He looked at his friends and thought how lucky he is to have them to be with him, not only Alex could like him, he is relieved that even not having anything related onto they are very close and happy together, they are strangers before and they became siblings over the life and death experiences in the exam, but that really didnt made him broke a sweat.

He with his two friends, eating a feast in a famous inn in the county, laughing and joking with each other, like free children in the street, like they have nothing to fear.

"I heard they have the best winery in the continent, did I heard it right?" Ken asked as he remembered what he saw and heard earlier.

"This territory really do have" Cale answered, bringing out a bottle out of the spatial bag, pouring it in the three glasses. He smirked at Ken and nodded.

Ken making shocked face said, "No way..."

"Yeah way.." he said as he nod and winked at him.

Though Ken is a wild child in the family he is following some rules, specially for his body. One of it is not drinking, to feel happy or escape any down to world problems. He might be alright to drink it but he knew, even without asking Cale, that this red hair is not even trained to take anything to defend his body.

"Whoa, do you really drink that much? You sucker, how could you drink that?! You didnt even have passed the legal age yet" Ken yelled, nagging at the red hair
