Aldebaran Looking for Love

Chapter 14

Everyone did not expect the words to come from Al's mouth. During this time, when asked about status, he always said with pride that he was a respectable single man. Why has it changed now?

"Not trying to tell me you!" Abhimanyu can finally find the right sentence to mock the child.

"Not believe it!" Al tried to look as convincing as possible.

"Who the hell, Bang?" Shaletta smiled as she elbowed Al's arm.

"There is," said Al, a secret agent. Though he and Shaletta clearly knew that the woman was only in wishful thinking. But his sister had no intention of helping at all. Just wanted to tease her.

Then, suddenly Abhimanyu gasped. Everyone looked at him.

"Male or female???" Abhimanyu hysterical.

Al terpelongo's. Shaletta exploded in laughter.

"Haha!" He had to hold his stomach. Dion had to rebuke him.

Everyone turned to look at Al, waiting for his reaction.

"Pa, please?!" Al's facial expression turned sour.

"Well, man or woman!" Abhimanyu affirmed once again.

Al rolled his eyeballs, "Woman, Pa! Women! Huh huh? Satisfied?"

But Abhimanyu didn't believe it, "Whose name? How come you never told me? You lied to me?"

"Geez! I'm not dating in question, I'm dating more questionable!" lamented Al.

"Yes, obviously! You suddenly have a boyfriend like this, who doesn't suspect anything?"

"Abaaaang, don't lie..." Junita, who had recovered from her shock, persuaded Al. His premonition said that the firstborn was indeed lying. And he doesn't like it if his son starts lying to his parents.

"I'm not lying, Ma" said Al, but took his eyes off her mother. He knew full well that he would not be able to convince Junita. And, he won't try to do it tonight.

"So, why have you been hiding all this time?" insist Abhimanyu, again.

"Why should I be told all over the world?" challenge Al.

"So you don't get accused of messing around with other people!"

"Oh my goodness, Pa! Cape is not really living just thinking about the words of others!"

Abhimanyu is getting cobbled up. It never matters if the rumored no-no is himself. He will stand firm, unshaken. However, it is a father's instinct to protect his own child. Moreover, Al is the firstborn, the man who will carry on the family name and all that he has built with difficulty so far. And he really wanted to restore the good name of his son.

However, Abhimanyu was tired of showing this concern to his son. He prefers to be tough so that his son understands. Because according to him, this is the best thing he can do to the child.

"It's up to you to say what, Al. If Papa doesn't know who this woman is, Papa won't believe everything you say."

"Okay, I'll take it to the next family event." The talk just slid from Al's mouth, straightforwardly. He hates lying. Because lies can only be covered with other lies. It is a cycle that cannot stop. Just like he is doing right now. But what can he do? Being pressed like this in front of the entire family made him unable to think any clearer.

Al has made his real considerations. The next family event is Shaletta's birthday. Three more months. There is still plenty of time to find a woman to be her pretended boyfriend. Or who knows, there are women who will really melt the heart of the stone, although this is clearly doubted by Al himself.

"Oh, just bring it to be a plus one lo at the Diandra wedding, Al." Yuda.

Al cursed in his heart!

"yes too. The show's next week, right?" Abhimanyu smiled with satisfaction.

Die Al! He completely forgot about the wedding of Diandra, his cousin, younger brother of Yuda, which will be held next week. He's cheated! He forgot to take that into account.

However, he did not want to look defeated before fighting. He will do everything to win!

"We wait. If you're lying, you know what's going to happen, right?" There was a threat in Abhimanyu's tone.

Al looked at Abhimanyu panted.

"What could I lose anyway, Pa?" al said, cynically, while staring at Yuda blatantly.

Yuda and Kirana instantly look awfully wrong.

"No offense, Aunt, Yuda. It's just a matter of father and son. Sorry for offending you." Al apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, Al." Kirana was trying to be mediocre. Though in his heart, he felt bad enough to also be dragged into family problems like this. Only, he was tired of taking care of the child, if his sister wanted to help educate Judah, he would be happy to let go.

"When are you ruining Mama's birthday???" Finally Junita made a sound, again. Her birthday cake hasn't even been cut, but her husband and son have been feuding ever since!

Abhimanyu finally turned to his wife. The only love of his life. Why is he being selfish by rebuking the child all-out and ruining his wife's birthday?

"Sorry, honey, sorry." Abhimanyu embraced, then stroked his wife's shoulders.

Al sneering. If with the mother and Shaletta alone, Abhimanyu immediately softened. Try it with him...

By the way should use urate!

Eventually, throughout the rest of the night, Al and Abhimanyu both put their egos and feuds aside for Junita's sake. They didn't want to ruin Junita's special day any further.

And, after the little party was over, after everyone had gone home, after Al had returned alone in his room, then he felt confused himself.

His smart phone vibrated not long after. A message from my sister.

Shalitta :

Abaaang, if you need Ai's number, this is the number.

And he attached Ai's whatsapp number after that.

Al cursed.

His sister had really had fun today!

Al has no intention of replying to Shaletta's message. He just let the message read.

Okay, he did feel something strange when he met Ai earlier. But that little brother's friend was still a kid! He decided to ignore the strange feeling.

Al decided to call a number.

Long-connected ringtone.

And, finally answered.

"Hello?" greet the woman.

"Hello, Isyana. What else?"

And so begins Al's adventure to find women in wishful thinking...
