Ren can't focus on his work. He remembered with a smile of Zinnia's sadness this afternoon. I don't know why it bothers him so much. He became curious why the girl to shed tears after seeing his picture with Ranu?
Ren had been standing for almost 10 minutes. His gaze was only on a small activity on the side of the highway in front of his office building. Yes, he was watching Zinnia and Pak Jaya who were cleaning their wares.
Unceasingly stale, Ren immediately snatched his suit from the hanger and his cell phone from the table then walked out of his room.
“Where are you, Sir?” Ask Ariga wonder. Ren had no meeting schedule outside.
“Ga, where is the car key.” Pinta Ren's.
“Pak Ren where are you going?”
“Udah, game. Car key.” Urge Ren. He continued to extend his hand to Ariga.
Ariga then gave Ren's request even by frowning his forehead.
And as fast as lightning, Ren instantly darted away behind the wall.
What made Ren so rushed? Inner Ariga.
Zinnia was waiting for a taxi and stood on the sidewalk. When suddenly there was a car that stopped in front of him while honking.
As the windshield went down, he looked inside and saw Ren smiling at him behind the wheel.
“Log.” Ren's orders.
Without much questioning, Zinnia immediately got into the car. He doesn't know where Ren is going. He would ask the man to take him home.
“Kak Ren where to go?” Ask Zinnia in the end.
“You need to eat.”
“Ngear?”
“You haven't eaten since last afternoon, have you?”
“I can eat at home. Mbak Lida must have cooked at home.”
“Not to be chatty. Follow aja.”
“Kak Ren why is so much attention to me? Brother Ren likes me?”
Ren doesn't budge. He just focused on the road. He didn't want to do the girl's babble.
“If Brother Ren continues to keep this attention. I'll love Brother.”
And Ren still didn't respond.
“Ih! He also talked to. Even diem aja.” Dengus Zinnia was upset. He wanted to seduce Ren.
“What, anyway?”
“Telat.”
Ren just smiled. He turned the car towards the Limma restaurant. He recalled that time Zinnia was greedy to eat the food he brought from this restaurant. So he wanted to take Zinnia to eat there.
Ren and Zinnia are in a private room. With a variety of menus on it. Zinnia's eyes were round looking at the delicious appearance before him. His saliva almost melted in his making.
“Peat meals. This abis I'm taking you home.” Ren.
“Siap. Hehehehehe.”
For a while Zinnia focused on eating a variety of delicious dishes in front of him. What he likes the most is processed super large lobster with spicy sauce that makes his face red.
While Ren, occasionally focused on looking at the girl. He would chuckle when he saw the pungent Zinnia excretion while drinking water.
“Pelan-pelan. Later seselek.” Ren warned.
“Crazy. It's really good, brother. I've never found a lobster that's this delicious.” Zinnia chirps on the sidelines of the spicy taste that burns his tongue.
“Ya. Abisin. If you want to add can also.” Ren chuckles.
Zinnia. “Ssshhh hah. No, sis. U are full.” The answer. “But nagiihhhh. Hixes. Ssshhhh hah.”
Sweat as big as corn seeds had soaked Zinnia's body. Spicy is addictive. Ren asked the waiter for milk to neutralize his spiciness.
“Where?” Ask Ren.
“Udah mending.”
“So really don't want to add, nih?”
Zinia. “Udah full. Treaty I'm here again sometime yes, Kak.”
“Bby. Huh huh? If so, let me take you home. Let's rest at home.”
Zinnia nodded. And they came out of that room.
Ren stopped his steps shortly after they came out. In front of him, Fandi seemed to have just come out of the room next to them. His grandfather immediately looked at him as well as Zinnia.
“Kek..” Call Ren.
“Ren? You here too?” Ask Fandi. His gaze combed through Zinnia from head to toe. It seems clear that Fandi does not like the appearance of Zinnia.
“Iya. Abis eat. Grandpa what's here?”
“Pak Governor ngajak. Yes grandpa want aja.”
“Where is the person? Ren wants to go.”
“Udah first. Who is this?” Ask Fandi to Zinnia.
“Halo, Cake? I'm Zinnia.” The girl introduced herself. He reached out to greet Fandi.
Beyond a doubt, Fandi was just melengos and would not accept greetings from Zinnia. Zinnia was surprised by the treatment. Again, he tried to strengthen his heart. This kind of treatment he was used to.
“You want to go home?” Fandi turned to Ren.
Slowly Zinnia pulled his unwelcome hand. Ren could read the situation. He looked at the grandfather. He even had a small snort.
“Come, I'll take you home. Cake, we go first.” Said Ren who immediately grasped Zinnia's hand and pulled her away from there.
Ren and Zinnia were in the car. For a while, no one spoke. Each knows the awkwardness that is going on between them and Fandi.
“I'm sorry on behalf of my Grandpa.” Lirih Ren's.
“Why is Brother apologizing? It's nothing else. I am used to it. It doesn't work. People tend to look outside of me like how. And okay, I don't have a problem with that. I wear whatever makes me comfortable. Caring for the devil is the same as the views of others. So you don't have to feel guilty because of Grandpa's attitude.”
Actually Zinnia was feeling a little offended earlier. But it's okay. It's only natural that Fandi is uncomfortable with his appearance. Because the initial impression of the meeting is appearance.
“You must have many wounds.” Ren muttered later. He wanted to ask why Zinnia was crying this afternoon. But I don't know how to ask.
“Luka? Meaning?” Zinnia frowned in wonder. What injury does Ren mean?
“So you were crying, right? You must be reminded of the painful times you have experienced. I don't know how big your pain is. But, you were great to have survived until now, Zinnia.”
It was the first time Zinnia had heard Ren call his name. Because usually Ren just refer to it as ‘ayam cemani’. He looked at the man and looked at him intensely.
“Kak Ren?” Call Zinnia still staring deeply at Ren who was driving.
“Hmm?”
“Kan, I fell in love with you.”
Ciiiittt....
Decitan tire swiping asphalt can not be avoided. Ren immediately pulled the car over because he was surprised by Zinnia's words.
“Hahahahahahahahaha. Shocked huh? Hahahahaha.” Zinnia laughed so hard he held her stomach.
While Ren just stared at the girl with wide eyes and uncertain emotions.
“Basic chicken cemani!” Grunts Ren with annoyance. He realized that Zinnia was working on him.
