Aldebaran Looking for Love

Chapter 41

Ai had tried almost half an hour to order an ojek online, but somehow — as said Al — as if the universe wanted him to go with the man he just knew. Ai sighed, frustrated.

"Come, Ai, be with me!" Al memelas's.

Ai scratched her head violently, "No!"

Al reflexes raised his hand like he wanted to stop the woman's movements. But his hand was hanging in the air because in an instant he came to a realization. Why would he suddenly want to stop Ai from hurting herself? How strange. Very quaint. He is a person who does not understand how to care about the feelings of others. Why is Ai different? Why does his concern arise?

Meanwhile, Mira is able to catch a flurry of confusion from Al. With so many past experiences, he could understand that the man before him was confused by everything he was doing now. It was as if everything that was going on was completely new to him.  Strange, but at the same time quite adorable for Mira. Rarely do grown men act like this. Finally, he intervened. Then, he approached his only child and passed Ai's back.

"Son, you should hurry to the flower house." Mira reminded. That calm voice always softened Ai's heart. Her daughter was pensive for a moment, not yet fully affected.

"But, Ma..." Ai is still trying.

"Wait for your customers." Mira used her ace card.

Ai sighed. He looked at Al. The man looked at her with a radiant face.

"WHAT THE HELL IS IT SO BAD FOR HIS FACE?!" Ai repetting.

Al chuckles.

Finally, defying all her wishes and sense of prestige, Ai stepped foot into Al's car. But the owner of the car still stands on the porch of the house.

"Come, Brother!"

Al laughed again. It turns out that teasing Ai is fun! That woman is really different. Al turned to Mira, "Go first yeah, Auntie."

Mira nodded, "Be careful, Al!"

"Sure, Auntie!"

Mira looked at Al who was half-running after Ai. He smiled, his heart warm. His feelings are rarely wrong. He was sure Al was a good guy. And only the good man he allowed to be his son's first love.

Ah, falling in love for the first time...

Her daughter is about to begin a new phase of her life.

Mira smiled as she walked into the house.

Meanwhile, contrary to Mira's belief that her son will soon fall in love, Al and Ai instead spend nearly fifteen minutes to stay silent in a speeding car. The radio chanted some love songs, like cheering them both on, but the two men had no clue at all what to do and say.

Al himself began to grow angry. What topics could he bring for Ai? Usually the talk flows straightforwardly because of Ai. Now, if the woman stays still, she'll die of lice.

"Why silence?" Al finally gave up waiting, then asked while glancing at the person next to him.

Ai turned to him dramatically. The once calm heart suddenly turned explosive again, "What the hell is it? Sick again? Forgot memories? Or what?"

Al laughed stiffly.

"Laugh at me!" Ai frowned.

Al himself had scratched his nose, felt awkward and did not know what to answer. He alone was seriously confused by these spontaneous actions. Since when did he bother to come to pick up people, other than his family and friends?! Just got to know! Strange magical bin!

"Why should that be?" Ai is still protesting.

Al stayed silent for a moment, waiting for his car to stop right in front of the traffic light that had changed the color red.

Then he looked at Ai fixedly, "Because I want to be your husband."

Ai widened her eyes. Really not out of thought! Didn't he reject Al outright last night? Why is this being repeated by Al?

"Don't talk carelessly" said Ai.

"I don't talk about it anymore, Ai. I mean it."

Ai could capture the earnestness in Al's tone of voice. But he knew that Al's intention was not to be pushed out of love or anything. Except for your own needs.

Al needs status.

I don't know for anything.

Isn't this a sad thing?

Ai never dated, not once thought of a young marriage. During this time, he only focused on money, money and money again. He needed as much money as possible to make his mother healthy.

And so suddenly there was a man who tried to tickle his heart, he was instead offered a marriage that was not for love, but just status.

"Why would you want to marry me?" Finally Ai made a sound.

Al thought for a moment. And he found only one answer, "Because I need, Ai."

Ai smiled a little. A strange sense of sadness enveloped his heart. He does not like to be powerless over himself and his own feelings. And finally, he decided to ignore it all. These new things are so exciting for him. He doesn't have time. There really was no time for the silliness he had done from yesterday.

His interest in the man next to him he felt would not be reciprocated at any time. So, don't let him waste time.

"Remember..." Ai deliberately hung up her answer.

Al could not look at Ai any longer because the traffic light had turned green. He has to drive his car.

"If you only need status, you can contract marriage in Bogor!"

Al growling.

Ai laughing.

"You're evil!"

Ai's laughter is getting louder. Al could only resignedly, knowing that Ai had actually rejected him outright.

Al didn't know, silently inwardly, Ai was feeling sad.
