Metallmorphosis
CHAPTER 76. Good People Are Not Really Good.

Zinnia was stunned from her sleep and immediately sat down. His heart was beating very fast. He was shocked when he heard a bang on the door of his room.

“Zinnia!!” Shouted Roni, the son of Mr. Burhan.

“Yes, Bang!” Answer Zinnia. He got up and opened the door. “Why, Bang?”

“This washing patch. I'll wear it later in the afternoon. Wash by hand.” Said Roni throwing a white shirt at Zinnia.

Zinnia was silent. I looked at the wall clock. It's still three and a half hours.

“Buruan! Watch out if it's not dry!” Threatened Roni who then entered and slammed the door of his room.

It's still this early, and Zinnia has got a job from Roni.

Roni looks different from last night. Last night the man seemed friendly chatting with her while she was doing the dishes after dinner. But this morning, Roni looked furious with reddened eyes.

Zinnia did not dare to argue. He then went to the bathroom and got ready to do his job. He frowned when he saw many black stains stuck on the shirt. And it looks like it's going to be hard to lose.

It's been an hour Zinnia's been trying to get rid of the stains on Roni's shirt. Although it was difficult, he finally succeeded.

Waking up, Zinnia did not resume his sleep. He decided to clean the house and then cook breakfast. By 6 a.m., he had finished his work.

The house is still empty. Mr. Burhan and Roni are still in their own rooms. Zinnia did not dare to wake them up.

“Zinnia!” Call Mr. Burhan when he's watering the plants.

“Ya, Sir.” Zinnia immediately approached Mr. Burhan who was standing in front of his room.

Zinnia frowned as he smelled smoke billowing from Mr. Burhan's room. It smells and makes him dizzy.

What's Mr Burhan's cigarette, anyway? Bathin Zinnia's.

“You wash this, yes. Just wear your hands. If you use the machine later it is not clean.” Mr. Burhan's orders later.

Zinnia just nodded then took the basket containing the dirty clothes of Mr. Burhan.

“The hope is ready, Sir.” Zinnia. Mr. Burhan flinched and instead went back inside his room.

Zinnia was worried about Roni's shirt. He was afraid Roni was angry that his shirt was not dry.

For some reason, there was a strange feeling that enveloped Zinnia's heart. Mr. Burhan's attitude changed drastically. Not like yesterday.

Finished washing and breakfast, Zinnia then tidied up the dirty dishes.

Mr. Burhan was alone sitting at the dinner table. Roni was still in his room.

“Pak, may I leave for a moment?” Tanya Zinnia ventured.

Mr. Burhan nodded. “Do not long. Later lost.” Mr. Burhan's Message.

Finished doing her job, Zinnia rushed to get out.

Yesterday, as he was walking towards Mr. Burhan's house, he noticed that there was a mobile phone counter near the residential gate. Zinnia plans to sell his phone because he has no money at all.

Relying on pay from Mr. Burhan is also impossible. He only worked in that house for a day. Already given a place to live and eat for free, he was grateful. Even so, he still had to have his own grip. It is impossible to rely on Mr. Burhan continuously.

“Excuse.” Said Zinnia to the counter guards.

“Ya?”

“Ehm, I want to sell this phone, about how good it is, Kak?” Said Zinnia thrusting his phone into the storefront.

The female coner guard received and examined Zinnia's cell phone.

“What's broken? How are you dead?”

“No broken, Brother. It's just abis batrenya aja.”

“If this is the most it can be three millions aja, Kak.”

“Three million?” Zinnia worried. That is far from the purchase price. He used to buy the phone for three times the price.

“Ya already, Brother. That's okay too.” Zinia. Currently, three million dollars is also quite a lot.

Zinnia received compensation for the phone for three million rupiah. He put it in his pocket and went back to Mr. Burhan's house.

Arriving at Mr. Burhan's house, Zinnia saw a box car parked in front of the house. Looks like it's a package delivery car.

Zinnia immediately ran over to help the man stuff in. The cardboard boxes are very heavy. However Zinnia forced himself to take her up to the second floor.

“You helped finish yes, Zinnia.” Pinta Pak Burhan's. While the man sat in the living room.

“Siap, Sir. What is this, Sir?” Ask Zinnia.

“Practices. Most cough medicine tomorrow take to the clinic.”

Mr. Burhan is a nurse who opened a self-medication clinic after retiring from the hospital. Zinnia found out after Mr. Burhan told him.

“You please wake Roni up for lunch. That Abis, clean up my room and her room.”

“Iya, Sir.”

Zinnia puts down the last cardboard box and then knocks on Roni's room.

“What!” Roni shouted from inside his room.

“Told Father to eat, Bang.”

“A minute. Onion!”

Zinnia just sighed softly. It turned out that the first impression he read from Roni was wrong. The man was very rude and arrogant.

After waking Roni up, Zinnia rushed to clear Mr. Burhan's room. The man was well dressed and ready to leave for the clinic.

“You please clean. I'm going to the clinic.” Mr. Burhan's message reminded.

“Iya, Sir.”

Zinnia delivered the departure of Mr. Burhan along with his car. Then close the gate and go back in.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!” Zinnia could not breathe when he entered Mr. Burhan's room. The room without ventilation was already crowded with cigarette smoke. Cigarette stubs were strewn in all directions.

Zinnia immediately opened the front door wide. I hope the smoke will come out soon so he can clean it up.

While waiting for the smoke to dissipate, Zinnia sat down on the dining table chair. He saw Roni coming down from the stairs with an angry look. His eyes were red and his body gave off an unpleasant scent.

Roni immediately sat down at the dining table and picked up the food. While Zinnia immediately got up and went up. He plans to clean Roni's room first.

Zinnia was dumbfounded while standing in the doorway of Roni's room. He held a broom in his right hand. The atmosphere of the man's room was far from clean. Very messy. The pungent smell made Zinnia's head dizzy.

But Zinnia had no choice. He had to clean the room on Mr. Burhan's orders. And he immediately did his job.

Zinnia was glued to a few small plastic wrap scattered on the table. There is also a bong (a sabu-sucking device). Zinnia knows because he's seen it on TV.

Suddenly there was a feeling of fear that attacked Zinnia. He was shaking with all the dangerous thoughts that were floating in his head. He became panicked and scared. Especially when he saw Roni who was already standing at the door with an angry look at him.

SERIATE...
