The Magic Face Brush
Mistakes

Siska, walking down the village, green rice fields that became his sights along the way. As usual Siska, covered her face with a scarf but, this time Siska, was astonished by the villagers who were staring at her. 

Siska, even slightly extended her scarf so that her face was covered. Because, Siska thought if they saw her out of disgust with her body. 

"Neng, where are you going?" 

Siska, surprised when a man asked her, during her stay in the village Siska, never met or saw the resident was friendly and polite to her. 

"I'm going to the villa" replied Siska nervously, who walked quickly. 

"Real from the city. Pantesan geulis pisan (very pretty fast)" said the man. 

In the middle of the road Siska, again felt astonished when passing the stall that he passed yesterday. Surprisingly the owner of the stall smiled at him very friendly as well as the other residents. 

'What's with me today? Why is everyone different!' his inner. 

Siska, too, arrives at a villa, which she believes is where Mey, the woman she met yesterday. However, as he approached the villa, a car passed him, in the car were seen Mey, Elo, Vika, and Arkan. Who will be back in town today. 

However, Mey, unaware that the woman she saw was Siska, a ugly woman she met yesterday. Because, Siska's face changed. 

"Excuse me" exclaimed Siska, as he reached the front gate of the villa. 

"What's wrong, neng?" ask the man who is guarding the villa. 

"I want to meet Miss Mey, she's from the city she said she lives in this villa. Can I see you sir?" 

"Oh, Neng. Just now they're going back to town, Neng, his friend from town?" 

"No," 

"Miss Mey, she's home." 

"Yes, thank you sir. Excuse me." 

"Yes Neng." 

Siska, too, left disappointed to not be able to meet Mey. In the middle of Siska street, saw a car that stopped right in front of a villa. From far away Siska, watch a woman get off the car. 

His eyes widened when he found out that the woman was Vera, who was holding an old man. Vera, too, entered the villa with her old man.

"Vera, Mr. Bram" he said. 

Siska was very familiar with the old man, who had wanted to force her to sleep with him. However, at that time Siska, refused until there was a commotion that made Siska, angry with madam J. 

"Don't get to Vera, look at me." 

Siska, too, ran away from the villa, but because of not careful Siska, almost hit by a car, lucky the car stopped, only Siska, accidentally nudged the rearview mirror until it fell. 

"Sorry, sorry." 

Siska, too, took the rearview mirror but, she was shocked when she saw the shadow of her face that turned beautiful, clean, and smooth, without any red spots. 

"Mba, is it okay?" ask the man who owns the car. 

"Mba, Mba!" calling the man again made Siska, surprised. 

"Sir, sorry these are the glasses." 

"It's okay, I can fix it. But Mba's okay, right!" 

"I'm fine sir!" 

"Relatedly? If anyone is sick I take it to the doctor." 

"It's okay sir. I'm not hurt." 

"Once again I'm sorry Neng." The man got back in his car and left. 

Siska, continued to touch her face which felt strange as her face changed in an instant. Arriving at Siska's hut, head straight for the mirror to look back at her face. And sure enough her face looks clean, smooth, and beautiful. 

Siska, too, recalled her brush. 

"Is it because of this brush?" he said while holding the brush.

This afternoon Janet, was in a field. Curiosity towards her daughter also makes Janet, want to see Sharon. 

Fifteen minutes Janet waited for a prison officer to take Sharon, out to see her. Janet, stunned at Sharon's face, deep. Janet, as if seeing her youth return because of Sharon, is so similar to her. 

"Who are you?" ask Sharon, who doesn't recognize Janet. 

"Why are you in jail?" Instead of answering, Janet turned around.

"What is your business?" said Sharon, cynical. 

"Because I'm the woman you're looking for." Sharon, looking at Janet, in silence. 

"I'm Janet, the woman you're looking for" continued Janet, her gaze not turning away from Sharon. 

"So you're that woman. Are you surprised to see your daughter who lives in the garage. So you asked me why I was here." 

"I didn't expect you to finally come to see me MOM" Sharon continued. Janet just looked down embarrassed, and felt guilty. 

"Where's Farhan?" 

"Why did you leave me?" Instead of answering Sharon, ask.

"Where's Farhan?" ask Janet, again. 

"Where's my dad?" sharon asked, keeping Janet quiet.

"Farhan, is your father where is he now? Why can't he keep you until you're in jail." 

"He couldn't take care of me but he took care of me and raised me to this day." Janet, get quiet.

"He always gave me what I wanted, loved me, defended me, raised me, even though he wasn't my real father. But a mother who gave birth to me left me." 

"That's the past" Janet argued.

"What's different about today?" stare Sharon, sharp. "You left me once and now you see me what's the difference? Did you not care about me and now you care about me." 

"Why did you leave me?" 

"Sharon," 

"You know my name? And you remember! Then you don't forget when you leave me." 

"I'm sorry, but I have a reason." 

"Reason? Is it because I'm not the kid you expected that's why?" 

"Farhan, the lecherous man who killed his own father and brother. For satisfaction. I, don't want to get involved in that." 

Sharon, smile cynically

"What's the difference with you is a woman of the night, I don't even know who my father is. Aren't you both sad." 

"I was raised in the wrong way, and was born out of one mistake to make my way of life wrong too. And now I'm in this place in the wrong place. You want to know why?" said Sharon, who brought her face closer to Janet's. 

"Because of my mistake of being a murderer." 

Janet, slow to hear Sharon's words. She couldn't believe Sharon was doing that. Before Janet left, it was hard to leave her young daughter. However, for one reason he could leave her. 

Janet, not wanting Sharon, follows in her footsteps as a woman of the night and her life trapped in a black valley. Janet, wanting her daughter to live right, lives her life as an ordinary woman. 

Educated, intelligent, and the pride of parents. That's what he expected. However, leaving Sharon, that moment was a huge mistake. Error because leave it to the wrong person. 

Farhan, educates Sharon, in his way to become greedy for what he wants to have. To be a killer like what Farhan did. 

"I was wrong to leave you, I should have taken you by then" said Janet, whose eyes began to tear. 

"Why? Are you sorry you didn't make me a night woman like you." 

Janet, look at Sharon, sharp. He stood up and approached. 

"You know what kind of woman your mother is? That's why I left you, because I didn't want you to be like me." Janet's voice, high at the end of the sentence.

"I admit you were born for one mistake, I. You know how my world is? The black world is misleading, as bad as I am I don't want anyone to be me especially you. I don't want you living with a mother who lives in a nightclub. I'm thinking about your future. Because I know once you're grown up you'll understand and be ashamed." 

"You have to go to school, study, but what people say if you live in a club, I don't want you to get that insult. That's why I left you with Farhan, because I believe your life will be happy without any insults." 

"But I was wrong, my decision was wrong. Farhan, has led you down a perverse path. Got you on the wrong path."
