Aldebaran Looking for Love

Chapter 23

Ai chuckled at the question. Al so looked at the girl before him with a curious expression.

"Kok laugh?" tanyakanya.

"Too often get that kind of question." Ai replied, still smiling.

"Keep your answer usually what?"

"Not dating, just friends."

"What time?"

"And it's also the reaction of the people usually."

Al laughed too. Ai's answer could always satisfy him. Not long-winded. Just expressing honesty.

"I didn't expect it..." Ai hung up her sentence.

"Not sure what?"

"If you are a follower of 'there is no such thing as a one hundred percent pure friendship between a boy and a girl'."

Al frowned, "Not really. I have a girl friend and we have a dozen years. Without ever one of us has feelings for each."

Ai's turn frowned at this moment.

"So, why was his brother that way?" ask Ai, finally.

Al supported his chin while looking at Ai.

"Questions," he answered, briefly.

"Why should I be curious?"

"Can't I be curious about you?"

Ai felt something tickle her feelings. He looked down, not understanding what was really happening to himself. In essence, he just can not look too long with the eyes of Al, so can not answer the rhetorical questions anymore.

"Can you request?" asked Ai, still looking down.

"What?"

"Not another one."

Al stroked his nape. A little guilt and exaggeration for saying things that make Ai feel uncomfortable.

Without Al realizing it, the uncomfortable feeling was actually pleasant for Ai. He just couldn't control his facial expression. He doesn't know what to react to things like this.

"I'm being rude?" ask Al, finally.

"Eh, no, Brother. It's not that." Ai raised her hand while wagging it in front of Al.

For a moment they were silent.

Al tried to brainwash how their conversation kept rolling. What to ask. What topics can he raise. Ah, he's totally blind! However, he did not want this conversation to end at all. They don't have the chance to talk like this anymore.

Al cleared his throat slowly, "Because I like to be impudent, mending you is the same as me."

"Do I want something for my sister?" Ai tries to tease Al, only intending to melt the atmosphere.

"Ah, I'm a very GR." Al again stroked his nape while chuckling. Although the lighting in Odysseia was not too bright, but Ai dared to swear to see a red tinge around Al's ears. Is that man ashamed? Did he really think Ai had no questions at all for him?

Ai felt very guilty.

"Sister, I'm kidding..."

Al wincing. A moment later, he immediately covered his mouth with his right hand. He couldn't possibly let anyone else realize that he looked so relieved. Not even Ai herself could notice it!

"Oh, you're kidding."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I don't think I have any questions at all."

"Yeah..." Ai could only call him like this. Al chuckled again, this time not because of shame, but because of happiness.

"So, is there something you want to ask me? May I know?" tanyakanya.

Ai hid her smile. That sentence is adorable.

Ai had actually known since then what she wanted to ask. However, he wanted to be seen thinking for a moment before asking that question. So, he glanced at the ceiling of the restaurant for a few moments, then as if he had just got an idea, he looked back into Al's eyes.

"There's a robber going into Brother's house. Incidentally in the kitchen there are only two knives, one sharp knife that has just been sharpened, the other is a rather dull fruit knife. Where's the knife you're gonna use to kill the robber?"

Speechless. He could not blink for a while after hearing the question. A moment later, he woke up.

"Ai.." call him.

"Yes?"

"You're actually new to my ngetes using an internet quiz about how psychopathic I am?"

Ai chuckles. Didn't expect Al to know the strange random things he often read on the internet.

"Haha. You know yeah?"

"I'm not a psychopath. I must have picked a dull knife."

"Kaaaaak, that's the answer that brother is a psychopath!" Ai protest.

"Why is that? A dull knife will kill slowly." Al is mocked again.

"Yeahaw! Want me to call Etta? Tell her brother's a psychopath!" Ai protests again, while pretentiously showing her smart phone.

"Haha. You don't know he's more psychopathic than me?"

Ai put her smart phone on the table again, "Aaaah, right too!"

They looked at each other, then laughed again.

"When a child, Etta never nyekik chicken neighbor until dead. And then he didn't feel guilty, he laughed" Al said, on the sidelines of their laughter.

"Don't know, huh? We've seen both psychopathic movies at the movies. It's called Don't Breath. Everyone was tense, only Etta was laughing alone." Ai added.

"Geez, I live in the same house as a psychopath!"

"Maha."

They seemed to enjoy the conversation so much that Shaletta and Sammy were stunned to see the two from a distance.

"It's a good fit" said Shaletta.

"He'eh!" Sammy agrees.

"Lo want me to go shopping, Sam?"

"But Ai will be angry."

"Say I made it."

"okay."

They also walked out of the restaurant.

"Ta, ingetin your brother yes, don't get disekatin Ai."

"Look down, Sammy, you calm down. Ai's in good hands."

***

Al and Ai for the next hour just talk about other spare change they can find on the internet. But that simple topic of conversation actually makes time go very fast.

Sammy and Shaletta return to the restaurant.

"To the lo lo toilet?" ask Al.

"Hehehe. How bad is it?" Shaletta.

"It's your order that it's both cold." Ai slightly insinuated her two best friends.

"It's okay. There is a study of the calories of cold rice lower than the calories of rice that is still hot." Shaletta, again. Sammy can only hide his smile.

That was when Ai's smart phone shook. He checked it straight away.

Mom :

Son, grandma's home.

"Eh, Sammy, are we going home yuk?" whispered Ai.

"Well, is she called aunty?"

Ai nodded. They looked at Shaletta. Without needing to talk much, they immediately understood each other.

"You're going to the hospital?" ask Shaletta.

Ai nodded, again.

This conversation caught Al's attention. Shaletta could not bear it when her brother became the only one who did not understand this topic.

"Mother Ai's hospitalized again, Bang."

"Oh, I hope you'll get well soon."

"Amen!"

"Yes, let's go home first, brother! Thank you for being treated" said Ai.

"Oh, Ai, it's just ice tea doang." Al is not good.

"Gue thanks too, brother, sorry I didn't have time to eat. You have to do this, "sammy said, not bad.

"Look, Sam!"

Hearing all that, for a moment the feathers of Shaletta bristled.

"What the hell, brother, brother, everything. I just call brother. You also call brother."

"Kok so you don't take it anyway?" ask Al.

"Squeaky horrifying!"

"Haha. Yes, we go home first, Ta..." Ai hung up her sentence.

Then look at Al, "Bang..."

Something rippled in Al's heart. Why does any call Ai made to her feel good?

Shaletta giggled at the grinning face of her brother.

"Go back, Bang!" Sammy waving.

Al nodded.

Ai and Sammy walk out of the restaurant.

Al kept looking at Ai's departure. Until disappearing.

"Reverse first yes... Bang.." ledek Shaletta, resuscitate Al.

"Oh, shut up!!!" Al berating.

Shaletta's laughter is exploding.

Without Al realizing a message entered his smart phone shortly afterwards.

Wening :

Al You're sitting eating both with girls?
