"Father...". Valen shouted back for the second time and louder.
"Valen... Wake up!". Mr. Stevan's voice for the umpteenth time made Valen startled from her long sleep and came out of that terrible dream.
"Ahhh..". Valen's breath was panting and her sweat was dripping like someone who had just run.
"Valen... Did you have a bad dream? Why are you crying? Was it because Dad slapped you last night?". Ask Mr. Steven anxiously.
Valen immediately turned her head to the right, and her reddened eyes and tear-stained cheeks made her look really bad.
"Father...". Without saying anything, Valen immediately hugged her father while crying.
Mr. Stevan patted his daughter's shoulder in confusion.
A moment later, Valen calmed down. She then let go of her arms and looked up at her father's face.
"Am I in the room?" Valen asked in a weak voice.
