Aldebaran Looking for Love

Chapter 10

"Wow!!! Who is this flower???" Tantri was amazed as soon as she stepped into the flower house.

"My victory! Pretty sure, enough to make a week of survival." Ai chuckles.

"It's not just good anymore, Ai, it's a windfall! Which temen lo is mesen? And Samuel, right?"

"Absolutely! How come it's a little Sammy?!" Ai sneers.

"Abis Mas Sammy's handsome." Tantri.

Ai pretended to snort, but could not hide her own smile.

"That's right! Lo also admits Mas Samuel is handsome!"

"But! Sammy's mother is handsome. Who wouldn't admit it?!" Ai said, honestly.

Tantri sat down to Ai, and then tucked me in her friend's arm.

"Well, why are you guys just winning anyway?! Why not just be???" Tantri's face turned curious.

Ai's eyebrows fused together. He has been asked this question too often from those closest to him. Sammy and Ai are inseparable, but nothing ever happens between them.

"What the hell lo?! Work there!" Ai grumbling.

"Come, Ai. I've worked together a year, you don't want to share your love story a little."

"Not want, but don't have!"

"Then anyway??? The same with Samuel???"

"Temen only, suer!"

"Where are there no girls and boys without one of them harboring feelings!"

"There! Me and Sammy!"

"Ah, fart! No way!"

Ai laughed, "Geez, why don't people believe it anyway?!"

"Lo is the same, Samuel is a great fit, you know? Naturally many dong pray for you to be!"

"Yes-iya, we'll be together, but only in your dreams."

Tantri sneers.

"Udah. Mending lo work. Set up another order. Nih flowers want to be picked up by the scourge, fear not too wide if the concentration is divided." Ai gave the order.

"Ready, Boss Ma'am!" Tantri is the most able to provoke the emotions of her boss.

"The boss from Hong Kong!" Ai grumbling.

Tantri laughing.

"Which one did you first assemble?" ask Tantri.

"The first one was picked up."

"Siaaaap!" tantri said, but instead choose the easiest order.

"Dasaaaar!" Ai grumbled, again.

Tantri chuckles.

"If it's not neat, you'll get angry." He defended himself.

Ai let it go.

Al came out of the cake shop with a sour face. The cake box filled his hands. The father was really happy to work on it!

Abhimanyu did not want to spoil Al. As the only boy and will bear the big name Maheswara, he wants his son to be tough and able to do any job.

It's even just as simple, take a birthday cake.

It was actually very easy for them to get someone else to get the cake. However, Abhimanyu wanted to teach his own son the meaning of sacrifice to loved ones. Nothing makes anyone feel loved more than when we sacrifice something for them.

Like Al, willing to sacrifice his free time, to take his mother's birthday cake.

But, maybe, not like this either...

Al really had to be careful when bringing the cake into his car. Even the tortoise was still superior to Al's current walking speed!

"Mother jerky!" maki Al, when he finally managed to put the cake in the car.

He could imagine his father's prank laugh when he was angry later.

"Who told you not to do it first..." That must be the father's answer.

Even just imagining it, Al was already furious half-dead. He had to take a deep breath to regulate his emotions.

After he calmed down, he opened his smartphone to see a message from Shaletta.

Shalitta :

Bang, this is the address. Who has my friends. Tell me to take my order.

"Like in a previous life, I turned a chicken. My fate is very good now." lamented Al, while closing the back door of his car.

***

After an emotionally draining and time-consuming journey, Al finally arrives at a small shop, on the side of the road. Al looked again at the online map on his smart phone.

"This is it, isn't it?" Al mutters. The shop was small. Not to suit the glamour of his sister. Shaletta should buy expensive flowers from a famous store that will look fancy on her social media. Not a little shop like this, on the street corner anyway.

Al checked the name of the store once again.

Name's right.

Flower House.

Al finally stepped inside the store awkwardly. He never bought flowers for anyone. Flowers for her mother have always been Shaletta's business. Flowers for another woman? Boro-boro...

Al observed the shop, as soon as it passed the door, trying to find whoever was inside. But he didn't find anyone.

"Excuse me.." said Al.

A few seconds later, a sound of footsteps was heard.

"Yes?" A woman's voice answered.

Al looked to the origin of the voice.

"Can anyone help?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, I want to take a flower order."

"Oh, in whose name, Mas?"

"Shorleta."

"Oh, Ma'am Etta. A minute, a minute."

Al observed the woman taking her smart phone to call someone.

"Ai, Etta's order has been picked up. It's a spook, isn't it? Okay, okay. Ready." He hung up the phone call and looked at Al again.

"Just a minute, Mom, I'll take it."

Al nodded.

Tantri immediately entered the inside of the store, then came out with a very large flower bouquet.

Al cursed. He was beaten twice today!

He received the flower, which also filled his hand.

"Pay it can use debit?" ask Al.

"Oh, said the owner of the shop, it's been paid anyway, Mas."

"Oh that?! Okay, let's." Okay." Al smiled a little. That is, the woman before him right now is not a friend of Shaletta.

"This is what Etta is ready for?" tantri asked, as if still not willing the man before her to pass.

"What's."

"Candid?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Similar patters." Tantri.

Al nodded his head, actually uncomfortable with such pleasantries. He immediately nodded awkwardly. Tantri could only nod, unwillingly. He looked at Al's back which was getting further away. He wanted to talk longer...

Al himself hastened to open the door of the store, so that there is no need for awkward conversation anymore. And just as he was walking, he could catch a glimpse of a woman with long black hair rushing past him to enter the store.

Al could not see his face. But there was one that caught his attention. The woman's hair was very nice and well-groomed.

Al was tempted to look, but he immediately reminded himself. He had no time to pay attention for longer. He had to meet Shaletta and Abhimanyu immediately to shed all his strands.

He opened the back door of the car to enter the giant flower bouquet.

But, when he had laid the flower, as he was closing the door, someone patted his back.

"Excuse me, brother," said the man.

Al looked up, then met her eyes. Ah, the owner of beautiful hair.

"Sorry, brother, this is something that's missing" Ai told Al.

***

Ai: Sis, something is missing...

Al: What?

Ai: His heart. How's it? Want me to keep it simple?

Eaaa. Ingrid slapped Ai, if you dare to write so.
