Metallmorphosis
CHAPTER 21. More That Hides the Genuine Nature.

Esta and Zinnia were still continuing their chatter in the garden beside the house. Zinnia continued to open sheet after sheet of Ren's photographs. From babies, teenagers, to adults.

Occasionally Zinnia would laugh funny looking at the anxious expression displayed by Ren.

“This looks like a big shot yes, Tan.” Said Zinnia while pointing at the photos of the Esta family who were in the villa with a tea garden background.

“Emang Yes. You want to go there?”

“Ke here?” Show Zinnia again.

Esta nodded. “Late this week Auntie Sama Om Plan to vacation there one night. If you want, you can come with.”

“Truly, Aunt? Wahh. Want, really want.”

“Ya. Later Aunt says same Ren let's take you.”

“Kak Ren is also coming?”

“Udah is a family tradition. Once a month, have a picnic ala-ala.”

Zinnia nodded happily.

“Udah yuk, we make a cake aja.” Take Esta.

The atmosphere of Esta's home kitchen is much more lively than usual. Aided by Mbak Sur and Zinnia, Esta is making cake batter. Zinnia's behavior always makes Esta and Mbak Sur laugh.

“Bikin what cake, Aunt?” Ask Zinnia.

“Mau make bika.” cake

“Wah. Definitely delicious.”

Esta taught Zinnia the stages of making bika cakes. And the girl watched him enthusiastically. He was happy that Esta treated him like a child. Occasionally interspersed with chatter about Ren and Ranu.

“So Ranu is married, Aunt?”

“Udah. Just aja. Not long.”

“Keep, don't use events?”

“Pake. But not now. Wait for his wife to finish graduation first. Not much longer. At most a month is.”

“I'm curious to meet them.”

“Later on their way here, Auntie channeled them.” Esta's Promise.

“Iya, Aunt.”

Zinnia came out when he got a phone call from Joham. He walked to the side garden and sat down on the chair.

“Joo?”

“Jin. You're home?”

“Not yet. Why?”

“Why not go home?”

“I'm at my acquaintance's house again and I don't have any money. Pick me up, Joo.” Zinnia. He felt bad too if he had to linger troublesome Ren family.

“Send address. I'll finish the meeting and pick you up.”

“OK..” Zinnia turns off the phone and sends his location to Joham. After that he went back inside and helped Esta.

“Udah done, Aunt?” Ask Zinnia who saw Esta was taking the cake out of the oven. “Waahhh. Very fragrant.” Zinnia took a sip of the sweet scent until it filled his respiratory cavity.

“Udah. Here. We try the cake.” Take Esta.

Zinnia sat down at the dining table. Can't wait for his cake and Esta's.

“Emmmhh. Very nice, Aunt.” Zinnia praised the taste of the legit cake that had melted in his mouth.

“Iya. Especially with anget gini. You know, don't you? This is Ren.”'s favorite cake Esta tells.

“Oh yes? Wahh. I try to make my own for Ren.” Zinnia Mumbles. His memory is recalling the ways of making that Esta taught.

“By the way, Brother Ren doesn't have a girlfriend huh, Tan? I've never seen her walk with a girl.”

“Ehmm.. There used to be. The tape broke up. If not wrong it's been almost a year.” Esta remembers.

“Says her boyfriend is a lot huh, Tan?” Search Zinnia again. He wanted to know more about Ren. About his past.

“Who said much?”

“Son Ren himself said. Said his ex-girlfriend is almost 20 people.”

“Hah? Real ones? Aunt never knew. Setau Aunt, only 3 anyway. Don't know if it turns out that much.”

Esta thought, could there be something she did not know about her eldest son? Karna Ren always told me who he was friends with or romantically. So there's no way she didn't know that Ren had a lot of ex-girlfriends.

“If you're with Ren, where do you meet? Dong story. Aunt curious.”

Zinnia has turned out to be a misbehavior. He scratched his non-itchy nape. Confused about where to tell it from. There's no way he said he stole Ren's wallet and accused him of sexual harassment. Could be ashamed of him.

“Ehm, in car, Aunt.”

“Ooh. That way. Keep going, you guys get along, right? Ren who took you first?” Esta seemed enthusiastic to hear the full story.

“I'm the one who talks first. He's not feeling very well, Tan. Cook saw me standing in front of him instead of him giving up and giving me a seat. I protested with him. You know what he said, Tan?”

“What?”

“Situ is not yet included in the category that should be given priority. If you look around, it is not one of the disabled. Nor are pregnant women, let alone grandmothers. What not-don't, that's teen Jompo?” Adu Zinnia follows Ren's style of speech while on the train first. “Kan makes sprains, Tan. He should have beaten a girl. He does not know if there is a term ‘lady first’?” Dengus.

Esta was prettiest to laugh so hard. It was funny to hear the story of their meeting. Of course, that's not the whole story.

Now Esta can understand why her son seems interested in Zinnia. She's a different girl than the girls Ren has ever dated.

During this time, the girl who was introduced by Ren to Esta, seems to be very caring about their ‘anggun’ attitude. As if to make the best impression on Ren and his family. The style of dress is also like acute socialite girls.

And they've always kept their distance from Esta. As if he did not want to get close to Esta and just wanted to have Ren.

But Zinnia, in terms of appearance can indeed be said that this girl has an ordinary face. The way of dress is very ordinary.But the attraction lies in his cheerful attitude and always makes them laugh. He's not jaim (keep image). Act as they are and look comfortable in their circumstances.

“Tante... Thanks a lot for your help. I really like being able to know Auntie, the same Om, and Brother Ren.”

“Sama-sama. Aunty also seneng can hit you.”

“This policy I want to go home, Aunt.”

“Go home? Same who?”

“Another moment in the same pick up temen.”

“So you want to go home? Well, Aunt alone again dong.” Esta put on a sad face.

“I promise next time I'll play here again.”

“Appointments, yes.”

Around 3pm, Zinnia changed her clothes with hers back.

“Sorry yes Ma'am, already dirty his clothes Mbak Sur.”

“Nothing, Neng.” Mbak Sur.

As Zinnia's phone rang, he immediately picked it up. And it turned out that it was Joham who was waiting for him in front of the house.

“Tante, I go home first, yes. That's my friend to pick up.” Pamit Zinnia's.

“Iya. Be careful, Zinnia. Aunt wait for you to play again here.”

Zinnia nodded. He greeted Esta and then walked out of the house with Esta among him.
