Aldebaran Looking for Love

Chapter 1

"YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, ANYWAY THIS YEAR YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED!” The voice of Abhimanyu Maheswara shook his own residence in the Menteng area, Jakarta, this morning. His face looked red, like holding back anger for the child sitting in front of him.

Aldebaran Maheswara – or commonly called Al – immediately looked up at the figure of the father. The cereal bowl is not finished yet, the Netflix series on the new phone is playing halfway, why did the father bother him this early in the morning? With that topic anyway?

“Why the hell, Pa?” Al asked in a lazy tone.

"DO YOU WANT TO MARRY ME!" yelled Abhimanyu, again.

Al could swear he could see veins around his father's neck.

"Yes, but why again this time? I don't think Papa hinted at me for a long time about marriage."

Abhimanyu glared, like he wanted to eat Al alive.

"You don't know what the rumors are out there because you're not married???"

Al raised an eyebrow.

'Who is really pushing me? They only have three. Is Boris, Aseng or Rene getting weird again?' Al began to speculate in his heart.

Abhimanyu himself waited for Al's answer to his question. Finally, Al gave up, obeying his father's will.

"don't know. What did you say?" tanyakanya.

"Say, you don't like women!" Abhimanyu hysterical.

Al wincing.

This accusation is nothing new. He finally just muttered softly, "Oh..."

Abhimanyu was caught up with his son's reaction.

"ALDEBARAN MAHESHWARA!!!" Again Abhimanyu's voice blared through the room. This time, Al jumped in shock.

"What the hell, Pa?!" Al grumbling.

"OH SAID?! YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE GIRLS, DO YOU???" Nadanya.

For a moment, Al considered whether to lie or be honest. But maybe lying to Abhimanyu is no use. Al decided to make a second choice.

He looked at Abhimanyu as he said, "Yes, Pa. I don't like it."

Abhimanyu surprised. His face was instantly deathly pale.

"Ja-so you..." It was a direct hit.

'Campus! My words are ambiguous! Papa must have misunderstood!' Al grumbled in his heart.

Abhimanyu had staggered to his seat.

"You..." He could no longer continue his sentence.

"GOSH, YOU'RE WRONG!" Al quickly explained. But not the father's name, if you want to hear his opinion further.

"So, between Boris or Aseng, who are you, Al?" ask Abhimanyu.

"Pa, not both dong. Don't misunderstand gini!" Al grumbling.

"Papa did not expect! The child that Papa raised wholeheartedly, Papa took care of as best as possible, Papa introduced to religion. It turns out Papa can still be too cheered." Abhimanyu.

Al twisting eyeball. His father is the king of the number one drama of the archipelago!

"Pa, I can't taste the same Boris or Aseng!" al said, wringing himself. Even if he is not normal, of course he can choose better than Boris and Aseng! With his qualities, he sure could get Duke Dolken or even Nikolas Saputra! Al immediately regretted thinking so. That's not the problem now!

"So, who are you, Al??? Tell me Papa!!!"

Al did not think. What is really on Abhimanyu's mind? How bad was the real gossip circulating out there until his father burned a beard like this?

"I'm not the same as anyone, Pa, for God's sake!" Al swear.

"Don't take God with you if you're not doing anything, Al!"

Al grimacing. Really no longer know how to explain to his father who is now hysterical not because.

"Morning up! Why is it so early in the morning so noisy?" Shaletta – Al's only sister – appears in the dining room with a cheerful face, inversely proportional to her father's face that is red.

"Your gate, Ta, your brother..."

Al until grimaced himself to see how excessive his father was this morning.

"Bang Al why?"

Al's eyes were perfect. WHY DID THE CONCLUSION BECOME LIKE THIS ANYWAY???

"HAHAHAHA. This is real, Bang?" Shaletta laughed out loud.

"Absolutely! Forgive me!" Al chose not to respond excessively to the words of his father and Shaletta who sat before him. It is better that he enjoys the cereal that has begun to soften.

"Your gate will humiliate our family, Ta." Abhimanyu also discussed it. Shaletta thought for a moment.

"How about we find a girlfriend for Bang Al, Pa?" Shaletta.

"Ta, don't be weird!" Al warned. Shaletta just smiled.

"You don't freak out, Al. Throughout Maheswara's bloodline, you're the only one like this." Abhimanyu rebukes Al.

'Oh my! It's up to you!' grumble Al in the heart.

Junita, the mother, suddenly appears in the dining room.

"Why is Papa so angry this morning?" He rebuked Abhimanyu.

"Bang Al doesn't taste like a girl she said, Ma." Shaletta.

"HUH???" Junita's shocked.

"No, Ma. Papa the same Etta misunderstood." Al was anxious to see Abhimanyu and Shaletta's behavior.

"Misunderstand how? You're the one who obviously told Papa that you don't like girls!" The father kept on fussing.

"What the hell is that? Mama's got your misdirected where, Bang?" Her mother's tears were piled up.

Al cursed in his heart. If the father is the king of drama, the mother is the one who loves to cry. His parents were a couple created for each other! Sometimes Al curious how their journey during dating first, must be very full of drama and soap opera tears.

"Ma, this is just a misunderstanding."  He scratched his head.

"Papa does not want to know, anyway you have to find a wife in the next two weeks. If you still can't, Papa scratches you from the inheritance list!" threaten Abhimanyu to Al.

"Yes, whatever." Al answered with ogah-ogahan. This is the father's threat for the umpteenth time. He doesn't care much anymore. Maybe at first, Al was very panicked, but now the threat sounded like the wind.

"Serious papa, Al!" abhimanyu said, again.

"Yes, Pa. What am I a bitch? I can hear it." Now Al walked towards the sink to put his empty cereal bowl.

"THAT'S OVER!!! YOU ARE YES!!!" Abhimanyu growled from feeling neglected.

"Pa, patience! Papa Kumat loh's high blood later!" Al even reminded him of his comfort.

"YOUR BEHAVIOR MAKES PAPA'S BLOOD HIGH IN GERMS!"

"Well? I'm not doing anything, Pa."

Shaletta laughs more and more giggling at the words of her brother.

Abhimanyu growled again, "IF YOU STILL HAVE NOT BROUGHT A WIFE IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, PAPA WILL ALSO BATTALIN YOUR INAUGURATION!"

Al pouting. The father had promised the position of President Director at Maheswara Company since two years ago. However, he was still hesitant because Al was too young. Be he makes Al wait for two years. And now he again hesitated to give it AWAY JUST BECAUSE AL WAS NOT INTERESTED IN GETTING MARRIED???

What kind of humiliation is this??? Why is Al's ability to lead the company in doubt just because he.... has no intention of falling in love???

"Loh??? What the hell is that, Pa???" Al protest.

"NO PROTESTS! YOU MARRY OR YOU CAN REMOVE MAHESWARA'S NAME FROM YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!"

"Ah, it's up to Papa!" Al walked out of the dining room.

Since when does a father erase a blood relationship just because his son does not want to get married? So desperate is Abhimanyu on the love story of Al?

Well, the father was not wrong.

Al is also sometimes surprised by himself.

Because Aldebaran Maheswara had never been in love once in thirty-three years of his life.
