...16. Seeking Weaknesses...
Agista Prawestari, the girl who just sat in the 11th grade of a well-known Private High School in the capital city, seemed to be pensive to hear all the talk of her mother and foster brother. Gista reluctantly came out of the bathroom even though a few minutes ago she finished completing her bathing ritual.
Until the knock on the bathroom door broke his daydream. Gista immediately opened the bathroom door after successfully mastering his feelings were very angry.
“For a long time the shower deck, sister also want to shower and to the office. Mr. Sukri has delivered your school uniform, he said Tia who prepared everything.” Said Elmeera then entered the bathroom just like that.
“Iya kak.” Answer Gista in a soft tone.
Gista's beautiful but slightly moody face this morning was captured by Sarah's mother. The middle-aged woman kept the big question in her mind about Argha's relationship with Gista. Because honestly, Sarah's mom is very scared if actually Gista put her heart to Argha considering how close they are both. Ah, Sarah's mother felt like she wanted to curse herself why not find out first about Argha and Gista's relationship because even though Gista was only a foster child, Sarah's mother loved the girl very much.
“Gista darling..” Call mama Sarah after Gista finishes wearing her school uniform behind her tightly closed curtains.
“Iya ma...” The beautiful girl with the curve in the middle of the lower lip was approaching the bed of mama Sarah with a smile.
“This is, closer to mama.” Pinta Mama Sarah gently. Very different when talking to Elmeera earlier. Understandably Elmeera is very stubborn so sometimes the stone must be hit on the stone also to break all at once, if waiting for drop by drop of rain that falls will be too long.
“Mama why? Does anyone hurt ma?” Ask Gista by holding the hand of Sarah's mother.
Mama Sarah nodded. Then the woman smiled as she glanced at the bathroom door which sounded the gurgling sound of water from inside there...
“Son, answer honestly.. Would you agree if Brother Elmeera married sister Argha?” Ask Mama Sarah carefully and softly so that Elmeera who was in the room did not hear what she was talking about with Gista. In her heart, Sarah's mother hoped that between Argha and Gista no one would take care of each other so that her plans for Elmeera and Argha went smoothly.
“Why does mom ask like it's the same me?” Ask Gista.
“Because mom knows that you are close to Brother Argha. Sorry mama who paid less attention to you so earlier mama just asked brother Elmeera to marry sister Argha.
Sorry dear mama, confused mama must how else to face your sister. Mama should ask first of all you, mama, what was on my mind was that you agreed if they were married because last night you said they were lovers.. but seeing your moody face this morning when coming out of the bathroom makes mama follow sad.” Clearly Mama Sarah was feeling guilty and Gista could feel the woman's sincerity.
“Ma.. I'm the same brother Argha has no relationship other than just brother and sister. No way I like brother Argha as a woman and a man ma, and vice versa.” Answer Gista who understands that Mama Sarah thinks she loves Argha.
“Bottom sister? Can't like it?” Ask Sarah's mother who repeated Gista's sentence. Mama Sarah seemed confused to digest Gista's words.
“Ehm..I mean..mm, I'm the same brother Argha it's like brother and sister, He considers me his own sister ma, he, because brother Argha used to have a sister but his sister was not there during the accident along with brother Argha's parents. So mama don't think anything of my relationship with Argha.” Gista made Mama Sarah smile.
“Then why are you suddenly pouting darling?” Gista seemed to be breathing out violently.
“I'm just afraid that if Brother Elmeera and Brother Argha will end up hurting each other ma. But..”
“But why nak?” Mama Sarah was curious.
“The heart of Brother Argha is still fixed on his former lover who is abroad ma... while brother Elmeera, besides being stubborn he is also very afraid of a betrayal. What if Argha hurt Elmeera by not being able to move on her? What if brother Elmeera stays in his stance and one day wants to part.”
“Gista,,,”
“Iya ma?”
“I'm sorry, this sounds so selfish. But mom just wants your sister to get married. And you've asked your best friend to find out how Argha. He's a good guy and according to my mom, he fits your sister perfectly. Mama hopes that the relationship between Argha and Elmeera can complement each other. Elmeera can make Argha move on, whereas Argha can make your sister open her eyes that married life is not as bad as she thinks.”
“But ma...”
“We will never know how it ends if we never try it. Please for the sake of mama.. help mama get them married after that, we will help them to be able to accept each other.” Gista.
“Agista.. Mama please.” Gista finally agreed to the mother's request. Because people never know who their soul mate is.

“Why do you always confuse simple things El?” Ziraya asks after Elmeera confides in her mother Sarah's request and the threat of Mama Sarah asking her to marry next week.
“Then what is the solution?”
“You just say the same with Argha, Gha, yuk marah..please marry me.” Said Ziraya while holding back laughter looking at the expression of her superior and best friend who glared.
“Crazy,, where do women propose to men first?” Elmeera did not accept it. Understandably Elmeera always upholds her pride, inviting Argha married who had clearly rejected it is an act of stupidity and disgrace.
“However El, now is the time of women's emancipation. Not only women have to wait for men to propose.”
“OGAH!” Elmeera answered with half an emotion.
“Gosh my head wants to break it feels.. not to mention this investor on the storm all... I could-can enter the mental hospital if this continues.” Gerutu Elmeera made Ziraya feel very sorry for the pressure for the pressure received by her best friend, but all that happened also because of Elmeera's own stubborn attitude.
“Ehmm like this, how about you ask Gista to help find out Argha's weakness. After that, you can press Argha with that weakness so that Argha will follow your request. And to make Gista want to cooperate with you, say it all for the sake of aunt Sarah.” Elmeera seemed to think.
“How?” Ziraya asked to look at her friend who was still silent.
Until a smile rises from Elmeera's lips.
“No loss I have a friend like you and your salary is high. So self-esteem is not nyungsep-nyungsep very because he will marry me with a mutually beneficial deal.” Elmeera's passionate smile also made Ziraya smile.
