Make Me His Substitute
Give Me Time
"Sir Aga..." Amara tergugu's. Surprised and in disbelief at the sudden proposal that Aga did.
"I'm probably the guy who hurt your heart, Amara. And I'm also the man who'll heal that wound in your heart." Aga clasped Amara's hand. Channeling his sincere love through the look in his eyes.
Amara could see the solemnity on Aga's face when stating it. Without realizing it, her tears melted in the corner of her eyes.
Aga looked at Amara's face expectantly. In his heart he prayed that Amara might accept his proposal.
Being held up by Aga makes Amara even harder to speak. To be honest he still did not feel confident to be Aga's companion given the caste differences between them. I don't know, Ane and Sisil's words yesterday still stuck in his heart.
"Why are you quiet?" Ask me softly.
"I'm sorry, brother. I can't answer that for now." Lirih Amara's. Not to hang Aga's feelings. It was just that Amara had to convince herself first. Moreover, the trauma of being left married is still felt in his heart.
Aga's face turned lethargic hearing Amara's reply which did not live up to his expectations. "Do you still doubt my love for you, Mara? Do I look like I'm playing around in loving you?"
Amara shook her head weakly. "Not so, Brother. I just wanted to convince my heart first. Please give me time to answer." Amara Pinta.
Aga rubbed the corner of Amara's eyes that continued to melt the clear liquid. With Amara's condition being sick like this, it seems he can not expect more.
"All right, I'll wait." Breakup Aga. Putting on a smiling face even though inwardly very disappointed.
The arrival of Arif's father and Fatma's mother into the room made Aga release his hand on Amara.
"Auntie, Uncle..." Get up from a sitting position. Approaching Arif's father and Fatma's mother then crucified him.
"It's not long, Mom." Answer Aga friendly.
Ms. Fatma smiled. "Sit again. Mom's only been here a minute. Want to see if Amara's condition has improved from dawn."
Aga nodded. He chose to give Amara's father and mother space to talk to her daughter.
Looking at the corner of Amara's wet eyes made Mother look at her daughter's face questioningly.
"Mara's okay, Mom." Amara said before her mother asked.
Ms. Fatma certainly does not believe. But he chose not to ask much and will question it later.
The drying of Aga's phone that sounded loud enough made Aga immediately pull the phone out of his pants pocket. The name on the phone screen shows the name of the father there.
Aga immediately bailed out to pick up the phone. His premonition says if anything bad has happened and Papa Andrew wants to tell him.
And sure enough, just a connected call, Papa Andrew has immediately delivered the news if their confidant who takes care of the company abroad ran away carrying all the assets of ownership of the company.
Aga made miserable. No lie if he feels worried about the condition of his family's company is on the verge of collapse. But even so, Aga tried to stay calm so that Papa Andrew was not too anxious.
"Papa take it easy. I'll be heading overseas soon to sort this out." Say Aga before you close your Papa Andrew phone call.
