The Part 20
Mother Agia filters the tea leaves that Sena found in the flower shop. The deep red color is almost close to the brown color dripping quickly from the small holes of sieves made of wire, after watering hot water.
Fragrant tea mixed with mint out, calling whoever kissed her.
“Bikin what, Bun?” Ask Agia's father to approach his wife.
“Teh drunk Agia.” Sahut Bunda relaxed while pouring two teaspoons of sugar sand into a cup.
“Hah? Why drink that tea? Later Mother why-why, loh.” Dad was surprised to hear the words Mother who was so relaxed wanted to try the poisonous tea.
“Yeah, use logic. If this tea is poisonous, why would the culprit let it stay in the closet? It must have been thrown away, right?” Reply Mother relaxed. “Again, Mommy is not sure that your child can fall just by drinking this tea once. So, mommy wants to try drinking. What the hell does this tea taste like you found.” Mother raised her cup after stirring using a spoon. Now he walks to the terrace of the house to enjoy the yard which contains various ornamental plants.
Dad followed her right behind Mommy.
Mother then stopped and looked at her husband. “Why do you follow Mother? Afraid of Mother fainting, huh?”
Agia's father only showed his teeth without retaliating against Mother's accusation.
Dusk and Sena were playing bicycles on the road in front of the house. Having been accustomed to staying at Grandpa and Grandma's house, they became familiar with the neighbors around.
“Teh is very strong Well it feels. Too strong for Mother. The mint taste is fresh. But Mommy doesn't like.” Mother Agia gave a comment about the tea that was in her grasp. “Daddy want to try?”
“Neg. Later Daddy becomes nauseous.” The reason is sure, because it knows very well how the stomach acid will increase after drinking caffeine. Whether it is from tea, coffee, or soda.
Dusk sat with hunting breath because tired of pedaling a bicycle. He was interested in the conversation of his Grandpa and Grandma.
“What is it, Cake?” Ask Dusk.
“Teh we found in the store.”
“Granny drink that? Why not what?” Serbu Dusk riled.
“Not. If drinking just once can be okay, your mama is not a coma, but koit.” Jawan Bunda Agia relax. “Grandma just wants to know, like what the hell it's like. So that we do not guess, must try directly, right?”
“Keep, what does Grandma feel?” Tanya Dusk curious.
“Taste nothing. It just doesn't taste good. Too powerful. Grandma doesn't like.”
“Given Dusk, Mama also often drinks tea at home. But it's black, Grandma. I asked, Mama why do you often drink coffee like Papa? Uh, Mama said it was tea.”
“You drank black tea?” Agia's father looked at her son sitting among them.
“I don't remember, Dad. Maybe yes.”
“That black tea is as strong as Dad.”
“Kek, try borrowing Grandpa's HP. I want to see what the tea is.”
With a smart hand twilight beratraksi above the screen Hp owned by Grandpa.
“I am now a very emotional. Suddenly remember that there used to be someone who once pranked Mama tea. Since then, my mom has been drinking tea every day. Surely the tea makes Mama so addicted, continue little by little Mama so weakened his health. I'm sure so.” Said Dusk excited but without seeing his interlocutor. It was as if he was talking to himself.
Dad looked at Agia who was thinking. It was a pity to see Agia trying to remember something so hard.
“Wow! This loincloth Cake.” Exciting Dusk with enlarged eyes.
“Witch why?”
“Nih I bacain, yes. In tea is rich in sources of tannin compounds that can bind iron in certain foods. As a result, if the tannin compound is too much, then iron is not available to be absorbed in the digestive tract.” Dusk paused for a moment and looked at his Grandpa and Grandma.
“This is the name of the compound that some time ago was informed to Papa.” Dusk showed a bitter face and continued searching for information from the internet.
“Research shows that the tannin compounds in tea provide side effects more strongly inhibiting the absorption of iron from plant sources than from animal foods. What does that mean, huh?”
“Zat iron from plants is more difficult to give iron to the body, if we often drink tea. For example, if you eat tempeh, vegetable spinach, or broccoli that high iron content, even do not ngokuh kebadan. Roughly, we are free to eat. Nutrients that should be obtained by the body even in vain.” Reply Grandma.
“The amount of tannins present in tea varies greatly depending on the type and manner of serving. Therefore, limit consumption to 3 cups in a day.” The twilight looked at his mother's parents.
“I'm sure that Mama drinks tea can be more than three times a day. Morning, when we have breakfast. It could be noon at the store Mama also drinks tea. Later that night also drink tea with Papa.” Dusk gave a pause to his analysis, “That's all I know. As long as Sena and I are at school, Mama can have tea again.”
Mother Agia goosebumps hearing her granddaughter's speech. “What are the side effects of drinking excessive tea? Try searching on internet.” Grandma's Order to the Dusk.
Dusk hurried to move his fingers.
“Side effect drinking excessive tea.” Twilight is silent for a while because it is reading the information that exists through the internet. “Oh, same as earlier. Inhibits iron absorption. Continues, can cause feelings of anxiety, stress, and anxiety. Ow hell! This is what Mama often says, nausea and dizziness.” Dusk staring at Grandpa and Grandma was like finding a speck of light in the darkness of family matters.
“Wah... Dusk is just like tea, his true strength only appeared when he went into the hot water.” Grandpa.

“Certain, why not a hotel? Why resort?” Ask For more.
“Oh! don't know the difference between hotel and resort?” Damar asked back to Bagi.
“There is a difference? Same place to stay.”
