The Magic Face Brush
Death sentence

"What a result! I'm curious." 

Mey slowly opened the envelope. There was no expression of him remaining silent when he opened the results of his DNA test.

Mey, let out a long sigh and put the white paper back in the envelope. He stepped away from the DNA testing institute. 

****

Farhan's hand, so shaky as he opened the DNA test results. His body trembled in the blink of a tear. 

"So he's my son, my real son." 

Farhan, sobbing regret his actions. If only he had believed in Janet, maybe his life would not be as ruined as it is now. 

"I'm pregnant." Janet's revelation, Farhan's surprise. 

"What's? You're pregnant, whose child is that?" 

"Yes your son." 

"My son you said. Don't you remember we got married a week ago, who's the father of the kid?" 

"Who do you think I'm pregnant for?" Janet speaks high. "You're the only guy who fucked me. You remember that night you raped me in the car." 

Farhan, smile cynically.

"Stop, stop that shit. After so many men sleeping with you, when you're pregnant you blame me, look at you, maybe you've been pregnant before, right." 

Janet's position, as a night woman, makes Farhan, hard to believe. But the truth is Farhan is the only man who fucks her. 

Janet, only resigned when Farhan, did not admit the fetus in her womb was her child. Janet, too, could not blame Farhan, because no matter how her position as a woman of the night made everyone would consider her despicable. 

And Edwin, at that time. Farhan, who is married to a prostitute, is angry especially when she learns of Janet's pregnancy, which is sudden. In fact, with the pregnancy of Janet, Edwin considered that Farhan, deliberately married a pregnant woman to be made a wife for one reason, namely property. To get his inheritance right away. 

But suddenly, Farhan will assume the child on one condition if Janet, giving birth to a daughter. 

"Born a daughter, I'll make it my son." 

Farhan's greed, then, made Janet hate him. Only to admit her child she had to accept the condition by giving birth to a daughter.

"Your greed will bring disaster to you. It's only fitting that your father never sided with you, admitting his own son should be on condition. You're greedy." 

Janet, knowing Farhan's wish, has a daughter for the sake of an arranged marriage, which her father makes. 

**** 

"Because of my selfishness my life became a mess. And because of my greed my family is ruined. My brother's father they're gone because of me." 

"I'm sorry uncle, forgive uncle Mey." 

Unable to say anything, Farhan, could only cry when he regretted his actions. Mey, along crying because of the selfishness of her uncle both her parents became victims. 

"A regret that won't make it all back. Do not let the same mistake happen again. Tell Sharon the truth, before it's over." Mey, just being able to toughen up and remind Farhan, to fix everything. 

"Uncle will make amends for all uncle's mistakes to your father and mother. At the end of my uncle's life." 

Farhan's guilt, not only in prison for life but the death penalty was dropped on him. Mey, eager to help her uncle not be put to death but her guilt in the past has made it not very difficult for Mey, to forgive him. 

But Mey, not a hard woman who has a heart of stone. With Mey's airy chest, forgive Farhan. However, the death penalty imposed on him was inviolable.

Farhan, continue to serve his death sentence.

With the instructions of an officer Farhan, also tied, the rope was on the neck of the line. With Farhan's eyes closed, resigned to what would happen next. 

Ahh …

The sound of screams, which sounded so boisterous from the inmates who saw it. They looked sad, and also tense, when a plank that was stepped on by Farhan, opened wide, so that his legs can no longer stand on the board that must make himself hanging in an instant the rope around his neck was twisted very tight. Farhan was no longer able to breathe. 

Mey, who had witnessed the death sentence, immediately turned her face away, her back trembling as she could no longer hold back her sobbing. 

Mey's egoism, blame Mey, Mey's wickedness, so must see her uncle end his life like that. Elo, the husband who was always beside her could only hug and calm her down. 

****

On the other hand, Sharon, sitting leaning against the corner, both of her hands holding a piece of white paper, her beads of eyes remained focused on the black ink written on the white paper. 

Sharon, I'm sorry I wasn't such a good father to you. Your life has suffered enough because of me. Janet, is your birth mother and you already know that. No more asking or seeking who your real father is, for I am your father. Farhan. 

This DNA test letter proves that our blood is a perfect match and you are my flesh and blood. Your mother wasn't wrong but I was wrong, because I didn't recognize you as my son. 

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I don't care if you're angry and hate me, but at least you know who your father really is. 

My mistakes are unforgivable, and I promise to make amends for all my mistakes. 

If while you were reading this letter, I had already made amends. I'm Farhan Antares, willing to accept punishment for my wrongdoing with the death penalty.  

His body suddenly suffocated, the white paper was allowed to fall off. 

'Is this a game? Is everyone playing me? He's the one who said I wasn't his real son but what is this he said otherwise if he's my father if I'm his biological son. What drama is this, why is everyone playing me' Sharon's inner self.

Sharon, rising from her seat ran towards the iron door, which had been locking her up all this time. Sharon, screaming with all her might, called out to a prison officer. 

Shortly thereafter, the officer arrived. Then ask him.

"What are you screaming for." 

"Mom, open the door I want to see my father." 

"No, you can't get out of here" 

"My father Farhan, he's a prisoner xxx. I just want to see him for a minute." 

"Don't you know today is the death sentence for him, you can't see him." 

"Please ma'am, please .. has the death sentence been carried out?" 

"It's just that you go and see him. He's gone, five minutes ago he was sentenced to death by hanging. And now he's dead." 

Sharon's body, again squeezing the statement of an officer made her weak helpless. 

After hanging, Farhan's body was carried by officers. The prisoners who watched, again dispersed.
