Metallmorphosis
CHAPTER 64. Future Plans That Have Been Neatly Arranged.

After settling a misunderstanding with the visitor, Ren and Zinnia choose to cool their heads by stopping by a Betawi soto restaurant.

Zinnia was silent even after a while sitting inside the restaurant. As for Ren, he became awkward and confused about where to start the conversation from.

But after seeing Zinnia's gloomy face, Ren finally ventured to ask. He put aside his bad taste to his lover.

“Udah, don't thinkin.” Ren opened the conversation.

“Indeed, my appearance always makes people misunderstand, Brother?”

“That's been a social issue in itself. Stigma is inherent in our society. We tend to see a person by his appearance first. And when they find a mismatch of expectations, yes they do not hesitate to accuse him.”

Zinnia listened to him carefully. Somehow he felt he did not accept when he received such unfair treatment. He did it a few times.

“But they are not wrong, brother. I am a thief.”

“And from now on, you can get rid of that bad habit. I know that it's just your way of escaping a painful situation. Now it's me, so you can run to me whenever you want. I will always be there for you, Zinnia.”

“Only Brother Ren is not ashamed of my path?”

“Why should I be ashamed?”

“Nothing good from me, Brother. I'm burglar. Family destroyed. I didn't even finish school. I don't think we fit together, brother. My appearance is also kayak gini, impressed naughty.”

Ren looked surprised by Zinnia's words just now. He stared intently at the girl sitting in front of him.

“You are even talking about that, anyway? Your family situation is not your fault. How many times have I told you, Zinnia? And if you don't finish school, you can go after the package later. It's easy business. Your physique will stay in change again. And the problem of stealing, I will make you stop stealing.” Resolute Ren. His eyes became fiery. Between annoyed and firm will a future plan that he has begun to arrange neatly.

Zinnia could only stare deeply at Ren who was also staring at him. The sincerity and earnestness shown by Ren broke through the niches of his heart. The man was able to turn his sense of inferiority into the hope of a happy future.

“Serd Ren is that serious is the same as me?”

“Still asked again? Can't you just wear it?”

Zinnia smiles. He was just trying to convince himself. Getting this much attention is not just a dream. The figure of the man who poured out all that sincerity was before him at this moment.

Ren is different from Zinnia's former lovers. And the difference was so big he felt.

In the past, his girlfriend was just acting ordinary like a courtship person in general. But with Ren, his heart was continuously pounding nonstop.

His heart, trapped in the barbed latrine, was now beginning to show hope. He melted a heart that had been petrified due to the pain he had long felt.

And Ren, the man who was willing to cut down the thorny cactus field with all his might. With genuine feelings, he would save Zinnia and take the girl to a savanna filled with beautiful flowers. He was determined to ensure happiness for the girl he loved sincerely.

“Ren?” The voice of the call came from a tall and beautiful young woman who was standing next to Ren.

Zinnia and Ren stared at the woman.

“Sove?!” Pekik Ren who looks happy. While Zinnia was only confused staring between the two. It was like he had seen that woman. He is remembering it.

“What are you doing here?” Ask Zinta kindly.

“Yes, look at Mama. Said kangen.” Obviously Sinta.

The woman immediately sat down near Ren without being asked. He then looked at Zinnia.

“Udah healed? Don't eat the amethyst again, yeah. Danger is that.” Sinta said with a smile.

Ah, Zinnia just remembered it. He was the doctor who treated him the other day. He felt like he was familiar with his face.

“You are many, Doc. I took care of it at that time.” Said Zinnia trying to be friendly.

Though inwardly, Zinnia felt suspicious of the familiarity between Sinta and Ren.

“You still like it same soto here?” Ren asked suddenly. Unaware that the question was sparking a sharp gaze from Zinnia.

“Hehehe. Ja. You still want to look. This is why you stopped by here first before going home.” Obviously Sinta again.

And the atmosphere at the table was turning out to be unpleasant. Although maybe only Zinnia feels that way. He doesn't like to see Ren familiar with Sinta. Moreover, it seems like they have a relationship until Ren knows his mother's favorite Sinta all.

“You are so familiar. Temenan?”  Ask Zinnia directly.

“Unfortunately Ren never told you about me, huh?”

“What?” Search Zinnia. His tone changed firmly. Moreover, his face water that looks shriveled does not like.

Ren only realized that the situation had become not conducive to them. He was just about to change the direction of the conversation. But Sinta went to answer Zinnia's question.

“It looks like he really did not tell you about his first love yes..” Sinta said while developing a sly smile. It didn't matter when it got a look of protest from Ren.

Zinnia. “First love? So the doctor of his first love Ren?”

Sinta smiled. And that smile gave rise to various speculations within the Zinnia fikrian.

“Mama!!” A girl who is about 4 years old. Run towards Sinta and immediately wrestle spoiled there. “Udah awaits Papa.” Tell the boy again.

“Oh, yes? The message is not yet. Wait a minute, yes.” Sinta said softly to her daughter.

The arrival of princess Sinta did not necessarily make Zinnia's jealousy evaporate. His mind was already too busy with various kinds of prejudices that made his heart heat up.

“Udah gede aja your son.” Praise Ren adds to Zinnia's mood getting worse.

“Eatya hunt nyuluan.”

“Hehehe. Not much longer. Doain aja.”

“OK. I'm waiting for the invitation.” Obviously Sinta. “Then I go first, yes. That's my penance ready.” Then Sinta just left. Not feeling guilty after messing with a girl's mood and making her jealous.

And as a result, after the departure of Sinta until finished eating, Zinnia just locked his mouth. Unwilling to respond to Ren's rant that led him to speak.

Zinnia was upset half to death. He knows that Sinta is part of Ren's past. But his heart seemed to refuse to make peace with that reality. Her jealousy is stoked when she imagines that Ren once belonged to another woman before he became hers. This is normal for every couple.
