Make Me His Substitute
Just Amara
Agatha was silent and could not speak Amara's words. And this time he could not give any more spirit to Amara who seemed to be tired.
"Mara, until then I always wanted you to be my sister-in-law and I prayed for it. But I'm not forcing you to keep fighting either. Stop if you're tired." Amara said later while rubbing Amara's arm.
Amara smiled faintly hearing it. "I'll stop when it's time." Answer Amara.
Agatha nodded. "Don't be sad anymore. Better watch a movie now." Take Agatha.
"I want to take a shower first. It feels like my head is hot and needs water to cool it down."
"alright. Then I'll just watch it myself."
Amara just nodded. She let her best friend turn on the television in her room while she prepared to take a shower.
"Mara, Brother Aga, I can only pray but I cannot determine whose destiny will be your soul mate." Agatha muttered as she stared at the closed bathroom door from inside.

The sadness that Amara felt at that time was at least lost due to the presence of Agatha in her home. Agatha is indeed very good at changing her troubled mood to cheerful again in various ways. Agatha who saw her best friend was no longer sad after she shared the excitement in her boutique today was happy in her heart.
Exactly at eight o'clock in the evening, togetherness of the two was stopped because Mother Fatma and Father Arif had returned home and Agatha decided to go home.
"Be careful on the road. Let me know when I get there." Amara's Message.
Agatha agreed and got into her car. Amara immediately entered her house after Agatha's car moved away from her sight.
"Thank you Gatha because you've made my grief a little less." Amara muttered as she stepped inside the house.

Agatha had now arrived at her home. His feet stepped wide into the house to the living room where Papa Andrew and Aga are now.
"Here, Pah." Agatha immediately reached out and crucified Papa Andrew and turned to Agatha.
"Have you had dinner?" Ask Papa Andrew.
"Already, Pah. Gatha ate at Mara's house."
Papa Andrew nodded.
Agatha's gaze turned to the older brother who looked at her flatly.
"Sir Aga, Brother's friend named Kak Anjani has returned here huh?" Agatha asked, even though she knew the answer.
"It has. You know where it's coming from?" Ask Aga.
"From story. I see he's been working at his family's company."
Aga nodded his head affirming Agatha's words. He thought Agatha knew Anjani had returned to the homeland from the story of Amara considering the two had just met.
"Is Anjani's sister married at this time, Brother?" Ask Agatha. This information is so much needed right now.
"Not yet." Answer briefly without explanation.
Agatha held back the resentment in her heart hearing Aga's reply. How not, if Anjani is not married then it will be a great opportunity for Aga and Anjani to be close.
"Oh so." Agatha nodded her head and bid farewell into her room while muttering inwardly.
"Sister Anjani, Brother is a good woman but I'm sorry I just want Amara to be my sister-in-law."
