Metallmorphosis
CHAPTER 33. A Heart That Is Pias And Full of Envy.

“Lho? Where's Zinnia?” Tanya Rai who was sipping tea on the balcony of the second floor of the villa.

“Noh.” Point Ren towards Zinnia who is still busy helping to pick tea with occasional stylish when about to be photographed by Ramadan.

In a place not far from them, Esta who was also walking over.

“Why not in temenin?”

“Udah there is a perfect Ramadan. I think Zinnia is more comfortable with him.” Said Ren who took a seat next to his papa.

“Why is that? You guys fight?” Ask Rai.

Ren shakes. “Nggak.”

“Mau Papa tell you a romantic place to ngedate, no? Papa used to be with Mama ngedate in that place.” Tawar Rai's.

“Where, Pa?”

“Peak Pass Area. There, the place is good.” Rai said then while glaring far away. His gaze was fixed on Esta who seemed to be chatting with Zinnia.

“It looks like it's a sacred place huh, Pa? Effective places for Papa.”

“There, Papa realized Papa's true feelings are the same as yours. But still dare not reveal it. Still prestige.”

“Jiah. Papa ever prestige too?” Ren Eject.

“Ya was once.”

Rai tells his story along with Esta as they visit the top of the pass first. He still remembers his struggle to get a hair tie from the lottery and give it to Esta.

“Waahh. Did Mama say Papa was romantic? Not very.” Ren muttered.

“That can be said romantic in his time.” Elak Rai's.

The two children and the father then continued their conversation with each other in interspersed with laughter.

The relationship between the Rai family is very close. There are no secrets between them that need to be kept. They keep each other's shortcomings and divide each other's advantages. Therefore, both Ren and Ranu, never feel awkward to tell anything to their parents.

If there is a problem, Ren and Ranu always ask for opinions from his father and mother. Especially if it is about something serious.

In a different place, Esta and Zinnia were also engrossed in chattering. This time there was no Ramadan because the young man was gone.

Two other women of that generation were sitting under a long chair from a board under an acacia tree.

“Why not in the same town Ren?” Ask Esta

“Gak, Aunt. Brother Ren is not exciting.” Honest Zinnia.

“No exclamation?”

Zinnia nodded.

Esta understood what Zinnia meant. Indeed, his son was less responsive in terms of women. That was what made the ranks of his exes retreat slowly after seeing Ren's indifferent attitude.

“This garden has Aunt, yes?”  Ask Zinnia.

“Not. This garden has witnya Ren.”

“Ooh.”

“The aunt family always took the time to get here. Take time to get family together.”

Zinnia nodded. “Iya, Brother Ren never told.”

That envy slowly surfaced within Zinnia's heart. How wonderful is it to have such a harmonious family? Inner Zinnia.

While the family, harmonious boro-boro, while eating together, will lead to useless disputes.

“The family of aunty. Lucky to be Ren.”'s sister Slightly Zinnia without him noticing. His heart was full of envy.

“Kak Ren never fought, Tan?”

Esta shakes. “Gever.”

“Hah?! Seriously? Until now I have fought even though?!” Zinnia did not believe. Where is there anyone who never fights?

“From childhood Aunt never quarrel with others. Even Ren and Ranu don't argue with each other. They complement each other and help each other.” Obviously Esta. There was a glimmer of pride emanating from his net.

“Waahhh.” Zinnia really did not believe it.

That envy continued to soar in Zinnia's heart. Ren never fought with his sister. It was very different from the experiences he had during his life. Who never had a good thing between him and Navya. They were always fighting even for very trivial matters.

“But the most caved yes, Ren. If Ranu, his son is a little wayward. When I was a kid, I liked to do it because of my brother. But luckily Ren's son was losing it. So no quarrel what. That Ren, though never denied Mama with her Papa. But it's a different story if the same grandfather. Hahahahaha.” Esta seemed very happy to tell about Ren.

“Cooking anyway, Tan?”

“Iya. Because his grandfather was always made for Ren's soul mate. Though Ren most do not like forced marriage problems. He has his own plan. If it's us, he's always shrewd. Because Auntie and Om also respect whatever the choice. Different from when he was a kid. If so, he is an adult. I can determine the wrong and the right.”

“Fortunately have parents kayak Om and Auntie.” Zinnia. There was a stream of water ready to fall in the corner of his eyes that tried to hold him desperately.

“Lucky it's relative, Zinnia. Depends on the person who sees it. Because behind that luck, there must be a painful story in the process. You're lucky too, Zinnia. You still have family. While out there, many have no family anymore even when they were little.”

Any luck? Is he one of the lucky ones to grow up in a messy family? From the outside it does look like he grew up in a perfect family with no gaps. Without anyone knowing they're not that smart.

Even his parents each had a mistress. And each one hides. There is never a word of peace in the house. Always filled with yelling, quarrels, abuse, ridicule, and humiliation of each other.

Can you say he was lucky to be their son? Suppose the child can choose a parent....

“Zinnia again crave Ren?” Guess Esta switched the conversation. He could feel Zinnia's face turning cloudy and his already cloudy face.

“Neg, Aunt. Kenpa Aunt thinks so?” Ask Zinnia astonished.

“Hehehe. It's nothing, anyway. Just nebak. You guys like fighting again, it's.”

“No, Tan. We didn't fight.”

“Surely you're so late, same Ren? Ren is like that, sometimes it is not curled. Not sensitive to girls. But sometimes, his attention is begging for mercy.”

“No, Tan. I'm not sebel. Brother Ren is good to me. By the way, Tan. Must be Kak Ren's ex-girlfriend, beautiful huh, Tan?” Suddenly Zinnia became curious.

“Ehmm. Pretty anyway. But among them, no one is serious about Ren.”

“Why is that, Tan?”

“Tante also does not know what kind of child you want? Age is that, but have not had a serious partner. Hence his grandfather wanted him to marry as soon as possible.”

“But Brother Ren already has a candidate, Tan. She said it to me.” Said Zinnia leaking Ren's secret.

“Hah? Cook?” Esta doesn't believe it. Because all he knows, Ren has a special feeling for Zinnia.

“Iya. Not yet known as Aunt?”

Esta shakes. He looked at Zinnia in disbelief. The girl was bowing her face while playing the tip of her fingernails.

“But Zinnia likes it, right? Same Ren?” Guess Esta. Making Zinnia instantly misbehave and stare at Esta.

“No, Tan. Oh gosh. Zinnia considers Ren's sister as her brother. Not more. Anyway, Brother Ren already has a candidate.”

Esta stroked Zinnia's back with a smile. He remembered Ren's misunderstanding that Zinia already had a lover. And this time, it was Zinnia who thought Ren had a future wife.

Jeez, how good is this kid two? Inner Esta.

SERIATE...
