Make Me His Substitute
The Strange Attitude of Aga


"What?" Amara gasped at the answer from Aga. He could not imagine how his trip later to the city of B only two in the same car with Aga.


"No Aga." The arrival of Bu Fatma to the front of the house shifted the gaze of Amara and Aga to the source of the voice.


"Auntie," Aga reached out to greet Ms. Fatma.


"Son Aga let's go in first. It just so happened that Amara hadn't finished her breakfast." Take Miss Fatma.


"Alright, Bi." Answer Aga.


"Oh yeah, did Nak Aga have breakfast?" Ask Bu Fatma when both of them have entered the house while Amara is still outside the house thinking about her fate in Aga's car later.


"It just so happens not yet, Bi. The plan is to buy breakfast on the street." Answer Aga. Being too hasty to pick up Amara, Aga missed her breakfast at home with Agatha and Papa Andrew.


"If that's how come have breakfast first." Take Miss Fatma.


At first Aga looked sad. But after getting a second invitation from Bu Fatma makes Aga can not refuse until finally nodding to accept Bu Fatma's invitation.


"Mara, let's continue the breakfast." Take Miss Fatma to Amara who just entered the house.


Amara agreed and then stepped back with Miss Fatma and Aga.


After being in the dining room, Ms. Fatma just took breakfast for Aga not to forget to make warm tea for Aga.


"Let's eat Nak Aga. Sorry for how it was." Said Ms. Fatma.


"Thank you, Auntie." Aga replied then without hesitation to feed the fried rice into his mouth. And as always, the food made by Bu Fatma can be sure to taste good and appetizing to add to Aga's appetite.


Amara who saw Aga so greedy eating breakfast made by her mother was stunned because for the umpteenth time Aga always appreciated the cuisine made by her mother even praised her.


"Mara, let's finish breakfast, son." Said Ms. Fatma because Amara never bribed the rest of her food into her mouth just stared at Aga.

After finishing enjoying breakfast together and having a light conversation with Arif's father and Ms. Fatma, Aga and Amara finally said goodbye to leave for the city of B.


"Be careful on the road, son. Let me know when I get there." Message from Ms. Fatma.


"Yes, Mom. Then Mara go first." Amara got into the car after getting a nod of the head from her mother.


Aga's car finally drove away from the residence of Bu Fatma and Arif's father. Amara who feels awkward should be alone with Aga also try to be calm and play the phone to eliminate saturation.


"Didn't you want to ask me something?" Aga asked breaking the silence between them.


"What does it mean, brother?" Ask Amara back.


Aga shrugged his shoulders to make Amara confused.


"Oh yeah, did Anjani leave for B?" Ask Amara after remembering something.


"Seems like already. He sent me street photos."


"Oh..." Amara nodded her head. Feeling that there was nothing more she had to talk about with Aga, Amara chose to remain silent.


Aga also chose to be quiet. Aga's car continued to drive until it finally stopped in front of a minimarket.


"Do you want to take something?" Bid Aga before getting out of his car. "Or you better just come inside with me." Aga continued before Amara could answer his invitation.
