The Magic Face Brush

The Magic Face Brush
Bitter reality


10 Years ago


In the middle of the night when the hospital was quiet, a man walked into one of the nurseries. The man covered his face with a mask, and pretended to be a nurse. 


Inside there Edwin, lying weakly with a medical device attached to his body. The man walked over to Edwin, he smiled with a grin. When he was in front of the bed that Edwin slept in, the man opened his mask and smiled cynically. 


His left hand began to explore through one by one medical device. Until it stops at a tube of oxygen held by him. One sharp knife he displayed, in his right hand. In a second the knife was directed at the oxygen hose to break, he said. 


Edwin's body, too, began to move, convulsing, his breathing began to feel tight as soon as the oxygen hose was cut off. Edwin, slowly opening his eyes perfectly rounded as if surprised to see the face of the man who turned out to be Farhan, his own son. 


His lips seemed to move, and clenched like he wanted to say something, but Edwin could not, say. Maybe at that time Edwin, eager to scream but what power his lips are not able to open.


"Good way, papa" said Farhan, smiling and leaving Edwin. 


Out there Jimmy, just got out of the elevator, at the same time Farhan, entered the elevator. However, Jimmy, unable to recognize him in because, Farhan covers his face. 


Jimmy, taking a leisurely step into Edwin's room, but when he got there, Jimmy, was shocked, right by the state of Edwin, who was unconscious. 


Slowly the mass began to unfold now Jimmy, came to visit the residence Tini, and Mey. 


"Grandma, Mey, go first" said Meisie, who stepped up to Tini, but stopped because she saw Tini, who was sitting with Jimmy.


"Mey, sit down" Tini said, Meisie, sitting between them.


"Know, he's Jimmy's uncle, your papa friend," Tini said, leaving him gasping.


"Papa's friend!" said Meisie, who was staring at Jimmy. 


"I'm Jimmy, your dad's friend and lawyer and your grandfather. I'm glad you survived the fire and grew up to be a beautiful, mature girl 10 years old uncle searched for you until we finally met today" Jimmy said.


"Mey, grandma wants to tell you something about your past. Before the fire happened …." 


The flashback


Tini, who was trying to go to the bathroom behind her house, caught the figure of the man walking towards Farel's house, which was opposite her. 


"Who is that guy? Suspicious," he said when he saw the man carrying two kompans who knew what they contained.


Because Tini, unable to endure the pain in her stomach, went straight into her bathroom. Ten minutes later, Tini came out of the bathroom, his eyes caught the figure of the man he had just seen. 


"What is that guy? What's he doing?" said Tini, who continued to monologue when she saw the man splash clear liquid on the company he was carrying. 


Lama Tini, pay attention however, because the late night, makes it feel cold and also afraid because the night was so gripping. Tini, too, decided to go back inside her house. 


Not long after, after he fell asleep the sound of screaming sounded so loud, out there to be able to wake up his sleep. "What's outside on the noise" he said, rubbing his eyes. Then walk outside his house. 


Tini, surprised by the cries of residents who extinguished a fire so large burned down the house neighbors. However, Tini, remembered someone who became her favorite. 


When he panicked his eyes accidentally returned to see the smiling man staring at the burning house in front of him. "That guy, did he do this?" said Tini, who was immediately startled by the body of a girl who rolled towards him. 


"Mey "Tini was so shocked, when she saw the boy who was full of burns. However, it was only him who saw the other citizens busy with putting out the fire. 


Tini, checking her pulse, also her breathing, who was grateful that Mey was alive. Tini, also brought Mey, to her house assisted by her neighbor Lastri. And Tini, keep Mey's true identity a secret at the time. Because of Tini, afraid that someone would want to kill him.


Flashback off


Meisie, very surprised after hearing Tini's words, only found out that the fire happened because it was on purpose. 


"Why would anyone do that, Grandma" said Meisie, who began to tear up. 


"Everything's happened, son," Tini, tried to calm him down. 


"Mey, that guy is still there and wants to harm you. Uncle hope you have to be more careful." 


"Who is that guy? Does no one punish him?" 


"The law applies if there's evidence" Jimmy said.


"Grandma, you used to be a witness, right? Why didn't Grandma do that? Why are you talking about this now. As long as I knew I might have done it." 


"Mey, witnesses aren't enough all need proof, accurate evidence" Jimmy said. 


"At that time, grandma was just packing, right you, grandma can only be silent for your safety son," said Tini, giving understanding. 


"Mey, uncle came to pick you up to be the successor to Antares group, your papa still has a company that you have to manage. Don't let the group Antares assets fall to the wrong people." 


"Mey, no need for the company that Mey, need, right are papa and mama. Can uncle give them back?" Jimmy, and Tini, just shut up. 


It might be hard for Meisie, knowing all this. At a young age you have to lose both parents, and more hurt, right Mey, must see the death of his own parents. 


The fire took away all of His happiness, not only his possessions and his parents, but his face that left a burn scar, which left his face deformed. 


Meisie, go to his old house that still remains the rubble of the building, and the ruins of the building that burned. The house was filled with sadness. 


Meisie, walking into the house, at the sight of the already fragile steps, made a bitter shadow that flashed where when his papa was hit by the ruins of the building that immediately took his life. 


Papa … 


The scream was still ringing in his ears. The flames were still clearly visible, it was hard for him to forget about the incident. In fact, when he remembered his breath felt tight and sick. 


"Mama ... papa ..," said Meisie, who was sitting weakly in the dust of the dirty ash, his eyes now began to blur, until finally his body fell.
