The Talc of Nyai
Magic Powder

Tiara's tiny mouth involuntarily uttered a line of incantation sentences, her right hand scavenging the powder again evenly. The uncomfortable sensation caused when the magic powder was applied to his face was ignored. His eyes were blank when he faced the mirror.

Nyai Kembang whispers subtly in Tiara's ear, chanting ancient chant charms of the opposite sex. Tiara only regained consciousness when her phone rang again. He stuttered and confused for a moment. 

"Wait?" Tiara was surprised that Santi rarely contacted her.

"Yes San, what's wrong?"

"You resigned?" ask Santi directly without a stale base.

"I? Not really!"

"The kids said you resigned, did Mr Amrin mess around? He was angry from yesterday swearing you down until one beast kebon came out all!"

Tiara smiled wryly at him, Mr. Amrin must be upset once after yesterday he failed to commit his depraved actions.

"Oh yeah? Let it be San, I don't care what he says! What's clear is that I've now moved the part."

"Eh move part? Where's where?"

"Hhm, there is! I'll see you tomorrow, I'm chasing the day shift!" Tiara forced Santi to hang up.

"Wh wait for Ra, where did you move?" santi's voice sounded frustrated with her curiosity.

Tiara smiled then replied, "Part of information, I'm ahead now. If you have time, you can stop there. Bring food yes, coffee can also make not sleepy!" 

"Great, you're so lucky Tiara! I wish I could be like you too, yes I am safe. I must be nyamperin if I'm done."

After a bit of stale differences, Santi ended the conversation. Tiara glanced towards the clock, she had to hurry. Tidying up a little thin make up on her face, and giving the finishing touch with hairpins on the front of her hair.

"Perfect!"

Tiara rushed away, she did not want to be late. It's a big day for him, moving departments gets him back excited. A smile rose on Tiara's face which now turned beautiful. Unfortunately, he was not aware of the change.

His dull face and grooming now looked smooth clean. A magical aura emanated from the pseudo-beauty inflicted by the magic powder. His body also looks more synthetic and molecular wrapped in a new uniform. He is so confident today.

As he passed the neighbors, Tiara smiled and greeted. "Excuse me ma'am, hitchhiking by." 

Bu Irah and Bu Rus gaped at Tiara, they looked at each other and only nodded as Tiara passed the two who were busy gossiping. 

"Eh jeng, I didn't see it wrong, did I?" Ms. Irah poked the hand of Ms. Rus who was still staring at Tiara's back.

"Jeng, jeng Rus!" Ms. Irah patted hard on Ms. Rus' shoulder until she was shocked.

"Read, baby jabang! Ono opo to jeng Irah, senenge ngageti wong wae! Meh wae I'm ki deceased, tangaten!"

"Partially, the Rus' jeng did eat the Tiara very much! Until I say what!" cetus Bu Irah was upset.

Ms. Rus chose not to answer, she changed the subject. "Jeng, another Tiara. Add ayune pol! Did I just see her beautiful now yeah jeng!"

"Oh yeah, yeah, that's right! Women if you're wearing an office uniform, trus dandan ayu, wear a hiil that is five centi high that wes ketok aurane out all to!"

"Heels times jeng, not hill! Ilate kesleo continues to jeng!" bu Irah protested while pursing her lips.

"It's the important sing unene kuwi to jeng! Sampeyan kroso ono sing weird ora to?" Bu Rus frowned, he looked back at Tiara who had just disappeared at the end of the alley.

"Aneh piye to jeng, her name is also a girl and and little alike wear nice clothes will be ayu! Wes don't have to take care of him, his father wong doesn't have any business!"

"Yes, too, eh so status Tiara Karo Rendra I'm opo piye jeng's illegitimate son?!" 

The two chat continues to discuss other important things that are not useful. Tiara does not care about the gossip of the surrounding residents, the important thing is that she has tried to be kind in the surrounding environment. Although he often gets unpleasant treatment.

While passing through the ojek base, Tiara heard the whistling of some men who used to hang out there. They don't usually tease Tiara.

"Boiled, saucy chick! Where are you going neng? Can't you?" a flap-haired young man sitting on his motorcycle whistling stared at the astonished body of Tiara.

Tiara simply smiled and walked past him. 

"Neng, what kind of brother would you like? Free deh neng, but the grip of the brother who fasted yes afraid of the heart of Brother also fell into the heart of Eneng!" others join in the temptation of another young man trying to attract Tiara's attention.

Once again Tiara smiled, she waited for the bus that was usually boarded. This time Tiara was lazy to walk, especially the shoes he wore were quite high soled. The whistling and temptation still kept Tiara hearing, until she felt stifled. 

Staring at the group of young men sharply, their words had begun to lead to indecent things. The young men were excited at Tiara's gaze, just like the fanatical fan behavior of his idol.

"Cck, you freak!"

Tiara did not budge and got into the bus that had just arrived. It just so happened that the passengers were not too many, so Tiara still got a seat right by the window. Favorite places.

Just like before, in the bus Tiara also get the temptation of some men who sit not far from his place. The sheer lightness and adoring look on Tiara's beauty made her misbehave.

"Wrong day, what the hell is the same for all of them?"

 Tiara stared at the window glass that reflected the shadow of her face, nothing strange. He noticed the work clothes he was wearing, "Is there something wrong with his clothes?"

He ended up not caring about the mischievous and seductive look directed at him. Tiara is more interested in quickly finding new experiences in the information section. The leading part of the mall where he worked, where he finally could interact with many people. 

Tiara no longer needed to subdue and hide her face while doing work. He is no longer looked at one eye just because of his daily holding a broom and mop. A new glimmer of hope for Tiara.

About ten minutes later, Tiara arrived at her workplace. Before reporting to his new department, Tiara took the time to go to the toilet to just tidy up her clothes and makeup. Tiara took out the powder given by Bayu, then re-coated her face with the powder. The uncomfortable sensation he felt.

"Why is this so painful? Am I allergic to talc?" Tiara touched her face, feeling unusual sensations throughout the face and neck.

"Maybe because I never wear makeup, use powder as well as sober. It's like an expensive powder. Doesn't match my ndeso skin like this!"

Tiara flipped back the powder container, for a moment doubts appeared in her heart. He was afraid that his face would be damaged if he continued to wear powder that was considered expensive by Tiara. But a whisper convinces Tiara and makes her obey with her orders. The voice of suggestion from Bayu who stood right behind him.

"It's only temporary, you'll feel the benefits in a moment. Trust me, Tiara!"
