The Tippingback of Rania's World

Episode 6 – Photo Edit

“Wah, what is this?” ask Dad.

“Kak Rania makes black pepper chicken ala restaurant, Well. We want you to try it too,” said Livy cheerfully.

“Really? Where are the ingredients from? It must be delicious. Thank you, son,” said the moved father.

“Rania only uses ingredients at home only really, Well,” replied Rania.

His heart was truly trenchant looking at the sincere smile that was expanding from the man's face.

“How are papa and mama, yes?” rania thought sad.

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

Rania threw her body into the bed. The body is fragrant and fresh. His heart could not wait to open the phone. Will there be any leads there?

The HP home screen showed nothing. There are only pictures of flowers. It looks like it was taken in front of their house. Rania's finger then moves open the conversation application. There were some chat with Anjani, Alvi and some other friends. In general, the content of their conversations is only about schoolwork and other teenage girls' stories. Suddenly Rania's eyes were fixed on the group chat bouncy.

“What a weird name?” rania muttered while holding back a laugh.

A bouncy biscuit is a pastry made from rice flour and shaped like a flower. Somehow they could create a group with such a unique name.

Rania then opened the group message, which only contained three people. It seems he can guess, who the members are.

Alvies

“Hey, have you thought about taking what extracurriculars? Weird school, second-graders are required to take two extracurriculars, anyway?”

Anjani

“Duh, don't know. I'm gonna take a sewing class, or dance huh? If Alvi seems better to enter the photography or detective club. You like stalking cute guys."

Alvies

"It was not stalking, but again the selection of prospective husbands. Let the father of my children be truly the superior seed. Not cans."

Rania read the messages of her two friends. But there was nothing suspicious or suspicious there.

^^^“Guys, do you remember? Last week we did after school?” write Rania in the group.^^^

Alvies

“HP lo dah good?”

^^^“Udah.”^^^

Alvies

“How much?”

^^^“Two hundred thousand words Brother I,” reply Rania.^^^

Anjani

“Still able to live apparently HP lo. It's been soaked in water."

^^^“Masih. Uh, guys... my question has not been answered 😞” protest Rania.^^^

Alvies

“Which question?”

^^^“Gosh... This is a child..” said Rania.^^^

Anjani

“Yaelah. It was also a few days ago. Pretending to forget or actually forgetting? You will go to the lake for scout camping, while stalking Mikko who again has PMR training there. We can't come.

Alvies

“Oh.. .Well, that's it. You are soaked in a trench. Then picked up by your father. Bang Arka till the phone we both know? She's really worried.

“Times anyway?” thought Rania. He was indeed very interested in Mikko, but so far he was not up to stalking such a guy. He is not the type of girl who chases a guy until he can. But he fell into the ditch? That's why he dreams of drowning.

Alvies

“Oh yes, this afternoon you phone who the hell use my HP? All day I was terrorized know? Until my father intervenes."

^^^“Sorry really, Vi. What do they say?” tanya Rania felt guilty as well as curious.^^^

Alvies

Anjani

"Douh... You why the hell Riani? Today is weird..."

^^^“Sorry yes, Vi. I. I don't know either. Suddenly become obsessed with them.”^^^

The conversation he and his two friends did not give the slightest clue. It is increasingly proving that he is not the son of the conglomerate as before.

Not satisfied with the results of his friends' interviews, Rania opened a photo gallery on his HP. There are quite a few photos there. Rania looked at him one by one.

The photo gallery containing no more than three hundred files holds many pictures of a teenage girl in white, a petite body, long brownish black hair and a little wavy. Despite wearing only simple clothes, her lips showed a cheerful smile.

“Is this really me?” rania Gumam. The face that was seen there was indeed Rania's, but she never felt that she had long hair below the waist. Usually if his hair has passed through the back, he always cuts it.

Rania looked at the photos one by one. There is nothing strange, it is all a picture of him.  The girl in the photo appears to have activity. Using a white uniform from Junior High, he sat on stage and played drums. Hmm.. Rania is good at playing drums since SD.

Then in another photo, the teenage girl wearing a shirt and brown pants, she holds a fishing rod with a large cork hanging at the end of her hook. If it's a holiday, Rania does like to go fishing with her papa. They also often vacation in Alaska to catch salmon.

The next few photos show more family photos. Aih, it turns out Livy when she was a child is very adorable. There seems to be nothing strange about all the evidence. But why does Rania still feel strange? Did he dream of being rich all this time? Or is his life completely changed? But how can it be?

Clap up! Rania opened the door to her room. His heavy, hot head needs something cold. He went to the kitchen, to get a glass and some water. He had to start getting used to this house for a while.

“That's me?” rania was surprised.

Rania's eyes were focused on a 10R-size photo framed with wood carvings hanging next to an old closet. Why did he just realize it? Maybe he was too busy this morning and afternoon, so he did not pay attention to the surroundings more carefully.

A child in a pink dress and wearing a bando stood beside the mother holding the little girl with a pepsod*n smile. The girl was about eleven or twelve years old.

It was clearly him. Rania has many photo albums at her home that capture all her activities from birth to adolescence. And the photo he saw today was very similar to the one in his house. On the left side of the mother, stood a pretty sweet teenage boy.

“Ah, it must be Arka,” muttered Rania.

 “Yes, your face remains unchanged. Still ugly as a kid. Not like I'm the one who transformed into a cool guy,” chirped Arka suddenly.

“Gosh. Brother surprised me,” said Rania half-screaming.

Rania did not want to admit it, but this young man was indeed much more handsome in origin. “Hey, it's photo edit, yes?” ask Rania.

The photo does look unnatural, especially from the color of their hair and skin.

“Indeed yes,” Reply Arka flat.

“Hah, is that right? You guys comot where's my face?” peekik Rania's.

Why did he not think earlier, it could be that all the photos were just edits to manipulate his mind. After all, the HP given was also not his. Arka also just gave it to him this afternoon. It could have been during that time, used to dictate everything for Rania to believe.

What about the data at the school? Not to mention the answers of his assistants when he called.

“Comot? Whatchu mean? You think it's an edited artist photo with someone else's body? Are you an artist? Calendar people will also not want to receive your photos,” laughter Arka.

Rania just sneered at her brother, “Tadi said the photo was editan.”

“Iya is an editan. The background, color contrast, everything is just edits to make it look better,” explained Arka.

After returning to the room, Rania continued to think about Arka's words. To treat her anxiety, Rania opened the gugel search page and typed something. Not until a second later, Rania was wide open to see the results of her search.

‘Chloe Eilaria Austeen, Former Beautiful Model who donated diligently''

‘Chloe Eilaria and Qiandra Austeen, Mother and Son like twins’

'Qiandra, aspiring model who just launched her own make up brand '

“What is this? Why is there no article about me and mom at all?”

Rania changed the search keyword. ‘Rania Austen’ no search results.

Bep.. bep. a message goes to his HP.

“YTH customers, your internet quota is only 234 MB, valid until date..”.

“Oh my...” murmured Rania sadly. He forgot now did not live with the treasure, even for the internet quota he had to save money. And most importantly, it seems like he really isn't an Austeen family anymore.
