Make Me His Substitute
The Other Side of the Aga
"Picture who this is." Amara said as she looked at the photo in front of her at this time. "If you look at why his face looks like Agatha, yes." Comment Amara.
"That's a picture of Mama." Aga's voice coming from behind his body made Amara jump in shock.
"Sir Aga!" Amara exclaimed as she rubbed her chest.
Aga did not reply. He is now focused on looking at the photo of the mother he just installed in the kitchen area a few months ago.
"When I was young, I was very similar to Agatha today. They are like a betel in two. Just like Naina and Zeline." Say Aga then.
Amara stared at Aga's face intensely. Can be seen clearly by the eyes of Amara if implied sadness in the eyes of Aga when telling the figure of the mother.
"Sir Aga really loves Mama Kak Aga, yes." Amara said slowly.
"of course. Like you to Mom. You must love your mother a lot, right?" Ask Aga.
Amara nodded in agreement. Although her face does not resemble her mother, Amara loves her mother very much.
"Mama is a great mother. For the sake of taking care of me and Gatha, Mama was willing to leave her job as a businesswoman." Aga began to tell the advantages of the mother while staring at the photo of her mother's face.
Amara chose silence. He made good use of the current situation because only this time Aga wanted to tell him quite a lot.
"Agatha's birth really changed my life. Mama not only left her career but also changed her lifestyle to be simpler." Aga kept telling me about the advantages of the mother.
Aga did not reply. His eyes continued to focus on the photo of his mother. "When I am alone in this house, I never feel lonely. I always felt like my mom was always around me." Say Aga then.
Amara smiled hearing that. "It's just the feeling of the brother. Deep down I know that you feel lonely away from Agatha and Uncle Andrew."
Aga could not deny Amara's words. Amara's words were right, sometimes he did feel longing to gather again with his sister and papa. But a deep sense of sadness made him continue to stop doing it.
"Don't be sad anymore, brother. Mama Sis will also be sad if you see Sister sad like this." Amara subconsciously rubbed Aga's arm.
The Amara movement succeeded in making Aga aware. "What are you doing here?" Ask Aga.
"Oh that." Amara moved her hand away from Aga's arm. "I want to throw a little water away."
"Then go to the bathroom. Brother wants to get some drinking water." Aga then walked away from Amara.
Amara stared at the figure of Aga who had stepped away leaving her. "I will try to be a light in Kak Aga's life that feels dark at this time. Although Kak Aga has not been able to see my existence as a woman, but I will still try to pursue the love of Kak Aga." Amara Tekad. After realizing the other side of Aga while at home makes Amara more determined to get Aga's heart and turn the darkness in Aga's life into light again.
While Aga who was already in the kitchen seemed to steal a look at Amara who was talking alone in front of the kitchen door.
