Make Me His Substitute
The Strange
A deafening sound of alarm woke Amara from her deep sleep. Amara yawn followed by both eyelids that open lazy due to eyes that are still sleepy. He wriggled slowly and took his cell phone which he had put on the nightstand last night.
"It's half-five in the morning" said Amara Parau looking at the clock on the alarm screen. After turning off the alarm, Amara immediately got up from the bed lazily. Rubbing both eyes hopes to eliminate drowsiness that is still whack.
"Huh, it feels lazy to work today," muttered Amara while stretching her muscles that feel stiff. He remembered that this morning there was a visit to a housing development project in a location quite far from the lodging place. Therefore, Aga has set a schedule so that they leave earlier than yesterday.
Not wanting to lose with laziness, Amara immediately stepped into the bathroom. Intend to flush his body with cold water to feel more fresh and eliminate drowsiness.
Almost half an hour in the bathroom, Amara appeared to come out using only a towel wrapped around part of her body. The ringing sound of a cellphone that sounded quite powerful shifted Amara's gaze to the source of the sound.
"Who called this early in the morning?" Amara murmured followed a frown on the forehead. With wide strides and rush Amara towards the bed to pick up the phone call.
"Sir Aga?" Amara murmured before sliding the green icon on her phone screen. Realizing that her phone continued to ring the sign that the searcher was waiting for an answer from her, Amara immediately shifted the green icon and placed the phone into the earlobe.
"Hello, Brother Aga?" Amara's voice was heard greeting first.
The room next to the room. He is heard questioning whether Amara is awake or not. Hearing Aga's question then just makes Amara so surprised. It was not usual for Aga to ask him that.
"I'm awake, brother, even bathed." Tell Amara.
Aga berohria next to the room and the phone call was interrupted after Amara gave a message to Amara so as not to be late down.
"The old feeling of Kak Aga was not like this. He also must have known I could wake up on my own without being woken up." Amara shook her head slowly feeling confused by Aga's attitude that seemed strange.

The new time shows at six in the morning when Amara is already sitting at the restaurant to enjoy breakfast. Because this morning her stomach was not so hungry, Amara chose breakfast using a bread and coffee only. While Aga who just came chose to take fried rice and beef eye eggs as a topping.
"Where is Anjani's brother?" Amara asked because she did not see Anjani.
"So soon he'll be here." Aga answered while dropping his buttocks on the chair facing Amara.
Amara just nodded. He cut the bread and put it in his mouth.
Not long after the figure that Amara was looking for finally arrived. Anjani appears to come with a sweet smile on her pretty face.
"Good morning, Amara, Aga." Anjani Sapa.
"Good morning, Brother." Amara replied followed a sense of confusion seeing Anjani's very friendly attitude and smiling sweetly at him.
"I'll take breakfast first, yeah." Pamit Anjani after greeting Amara and Aga.
Amara nodded and spoke in her heart. "Why the attitude of Kak Aga and Kak Anjani is so strange. Did they end up in a trance after being alone in a coffee shop last night?"
