Metallmorphosis
CHAPTERS 17. A Night That Gives Many Benefits.

Second week working.

The capital air this afternoon was very hot. Zinnia walked into his house with the sleeves of the shirt rolled up until he showed his armpits. He felt very sultry and wanted to relax immediately under the air conditioner.

Because today is Sunday, his father and mother are at home and are relaxing in the living room. Clutches with in the interspersed laughter occasionally.

“I'm home.” Zinnia announced his presence. Hope to get a good reception.

But there he only got a brief smile from his mother. What exactly does he expect from them?

Zinnia did not approach them. He does not want ‘search advance’ to his parents. Finally he went up and went into his room.

Zinnia threw his body on the bed. Stretching her body while looking at the face of April Lavinge perched on the ceiling of her room. Trying to close your eyes for a while to get rid of fatigue.

The sound of her stomach rumbling made her force her body to wake up. He dragged his steps into the bathroom.

After the shower, Zinnia went down and went to the kitchen to eat. Apparently there, his family was gathering for dinner together.

Zinnia immediately sat on his dining chair without excuse. Glanced at Navya who was busy eating her favorite oxtail soup.

The clink of spoons and forks accompanied their dinner. With the occasional Navya recounting his achievements in work in his office. And of course, it will pay off some compliments for the beautiful girl.

What, if I tell you about my work, papa and mama will praise me? A thought passed through Zinnia's mind.

“Ma? Pa? I'm working, you know.” Showcase Zinnia.

“What work?” Ask Arsa.

“Work on Pak Jaya's meatball cart. Help Pak Jaya sell meatballs.”

There's no response. Even Hanafi only sighed softly.

“So you come home every day that afternoon because you're working?” Arsa tried to give appreciation to her eldest daughter.

“He-em.” Zinnia nodded in spirit. He was very happy because his mother seemed interested in his work.

“When will you stop working there?” Suddenly Navya said.

“Why should I stop?”

“I'm ashamed, Sis the same temen-temenku.”

“But they don't know who I am.”

“Let's get caught, how? Where do you want to put my face? Cook yes I said that the blonde chick that sells meatballs is my brother?”

The deg!

Zinnia was very hurt to hear it. But he still tried to prune the seeds of emotion that began to grow in his chest.

“I never bothered you, yes.”

“Indeed. Do you know, every time I go to the office I feel anxious, what if my boss and colleagues know about Brother? I'm not concentrating on work.”

“If according to Papa, you better find another job, Zinnia. Which is better. Let your sister also be comfortable working.”

Clot!

Zinnia put his spoon and fork on the plate that he had only half eaten.

“Why should I do that? I am comfortable with my work. I just worked this time, Pa. Can't Papa support me this once?” Zinnia has been provoked by emotion. “You too. Why should I be ashamed of my sister? Am I an alien?” Zinnia's regret turned to Navya.

“Zinnia! Why even get so angry at that? It's just in sayin.” Arsa defended her husband. “Pity is your sister. He did not focus on work. Later if Navya is fired because of you, how?”

“Kok because of me anyway, Ma? What am I wrong?”

“You are not wrong. But try to understand your sister's position. Poor him. Try it you can kayak him.”

“If people see this, they'll think that I'm not your real son.”

“Zinnia!!” Hanafi Shouts. “Dikasih know well kok even angry.”

Zinnia was no less upset either. He got up from his seat and prepared to launch a suicide bomb in front of his family.

“Bye-good? Is this what Papa said okay? Once you were on my side. You support whatever my decision is. It's not Navya, Navya, and Navya that you've always defended. I'm your son, right?! What a collecting boy?! Huh?!”

“Zinnia! Watch your mouth!” Pekik Arsa's.

“One time only. Once, Ma, Pa, you're proud of me. You guys support me. Hugged me with affection. I also want to love Papa and my own Mama.” Zinnia's tears had run through both of her cheeks. Staring pias to one by one his family members who just look at him in wonder.

“I also want to be proud Mama with Papa. I also want to have one advantage like Navya. I also want to get compliments from you. Not only in the same banding-banding achievement Navya. I've worked hard for you to be proud, too. Huhuhuhuhuhu.”

“Zinnia...? What are you talking about?” Arsa looked in wonder at Zinnia.

Zinnia was unable to stay there for a long time. He left after grabbing a cell phone from the dinner table. Keep going out of the house. Walk and keep walking down any street he meets. He walked towards Joham's house, crying.

Night gives a lot of advantages to Zinnia. Because not many people pay attention to it because it is dark.

Zinnia is a long way off. Though the distance of his house with Joham's house is quite far. Driving takes 15 minutes. And this is Zinnia walking there. His leg was blisters hit by the shoe.

Zinnia knocked on Joham's door. But there's no response. There were no lights in Joham's house. It looks like Joham is not home right now. Is he still in the office? Inner Zinnia.

Zinnia tried to call Joham's phone. But after several calls, still can not connect.

Zinnia's feelings are getting stronger. He doesn't know where to go. If he goes to Joham's office, it's even further from here. Ojek ride? He didn't bring any money at all. And his E-money balance was empty to leap yet in to-up. Wanna gohome? He's pissed off.

Eventually Zinnia was desperate to walk towards Joham's office even though it might take an hour or so. Because he has absolutely no other purpose now.

Zinnia was half an hour away. And the distance from Joham's office is still too far away. But he didn't break his spirit. Now his sadness has been replaced by a sense of tiredness that feels plunge both feet.

Zinnia's disappointment is not over. Arriving at Joham's office, it was deserted and there was no one else. His heart was burning with disappointment and anger. But he didn't know who to get angry at. He tried to contact Joham again, but remained disconnected.

Suddenly he remembered Ren. He's looking for Ren's cell phone number on his phone. What he just remembered was, he had not asked for a mobile phone number from the man at all.

Complete is Zinnia's grief tonight. His heart is getting torn. He was sitting in the store and did it. It doesn't matter that a lot of people look at her.
