The Talc of Nyai
Fire in the Husk

After a heat struggle that continued to repeat throughout the night, Tiara also returned to sleep. Bayu smiled in satisfaction, without Tiara noticing four of the seven spots on Tiara's body had opened. That means Bayu can easily master the raga Tiara. 

"The first must be prepared two weeks from now, do not be late!" Nyai kembang reminds Bayu.

"He'll be ready before then," Bayu's sly smile crooked at the corner of her lips.

Just before the dawn of the Adhan reverberated, Bayu disappeared. Tiara was still deep in her sleep until the sound of alarms on her phone rang deafeningly. His eyes were still closed, as usual he was looking for Bayu's whereabouts.

"Hmm, just go away." Tiara grumbled with her eyes closed.

Lazily Tiara straightened her innocent body, smiling at the thought of a hot night with Bayu. It was never imagined before that Tiara could have a lover, much less handsome and very satisfying in bed.

Tiara's phone rang again, an unknown number. Tiara's forehead wrinkled, "Who is it?"

He hesitantly replied, "Yes, who is this?"

"Mbak Tiara huh, I'm Arka?" as the voice crossed there, Tiara frowned again.

"Whose arka?" 

"Well, Tiara, we just got acquainted yesterday when you forgot?" the voice over there sounded disappointed.

Tiara tried to remember but indeed she forgot who Arka was but politely she replied, "Sorry my Ark really forgot. Sorry, I have to get ready for work, yes!"

Without further ado Tiara hung up her phone. "In the morning there's no work! Disturb people daydreaming!"

With a grunt Tiara went into the bathroom and cleaned her body from the remnants of the heat struggle with Bayu. 

"Well, how come there's more, am I too tired?" murmuring while drying his hair, he noticed a purplish blue color that appeared looming on the surface of the skin.

Tiara set herself in the mirror, yesterday for the first time Tiara felt happy as a woman. The eyes of the men always looked at him in amazement. The attention of the Adam who had always been desired. His eyes were fixed on the ancient box on the table, there was a piece of paper tucked under the box.

"Letter again? Bayu?" Tiara read it slowly.

Morning of my bidadar, have a shower, right?

Sorry I left without saying goodbye, there was a sudden need just now. Sorry for not having the chance to give me a surprise gift. I'm time-hunted. 

You like it as a gift, it's a special gift for my dearest bidad. Powder is a rare item that is very difficult to get so use it every day. I special love this powder because this powder is not just any powder. This is my ancestral legacy. 

This powder can help you get all the wishes you want. This powder can also make the owner very beautiful, your hidden aura can be issued if you wear it regularly.

Tiara stopped reading for a moment and took the powder from her bag. "Oh, pantesan aja yesterday it feels different to use this powder. Maybe yesterday my aura went straight to the open, yeah,"

Tiara continued reading Bayu's letter.

There are conditions that you must work to perfect the efficacy of this powder. I wish you could do it. Every Tuesday night Kliwon and on the day of the market your birth soak with water flowers seven different shapes that have been given a special fragrance. Wet your whole body with that flower water.

"Hhm, soaking in the flower water? Okay, that's easy." 

When you put powder on your face, say this mantra three times.

I titise Dewi Sri

……

Esemku kadya Sri Widara's

Teapot welas teapot knee teapot pasih

……

Tiara imitated it easily, the memory in her mind popping to the surface by itself.

"So weird, I'm memorizing? Ah it's important that this powder bring hockey to me! When else do I get the attention of the crowd especially, men!"

A happy smile adorned Tiara's face, she did as Bayu commanded. She covered her face with the magic powder three times while reciting the spell. Miracles did happen, Tiara's face exuded an unusual magical aura. Clean smooth and so alluring. There was almost no blemish visible from his face.

With complete confidence Tiara went to work. The same thing as yesterday happened again. Tiara simply smiled and hinted as praise, temptation, and mischievous shouts were thrown at her. Tiara felt above the air and was enjoying her condition now.

Upon arrival at the booth, Tiara was surprised by the four neatly lined flower pots. Anita was cool to admire the beauty of flowers arranged in small pots.

"What is the occasion, a lot of flowers?"

"Well, this is the one who has the flower!" say Anita with a smile.

"How do you mean?"

"Cck, these flowers are all sent to you! I don't understand it anyway!" Rio said cynically.

"Make me? Who sent it?" Tiara was flabbergasted and looked at the card still tucked between the flower buds. "Carca,"

"Who is Ra from?" Anita approached Tiara and read, "Wiih, just one day of her fan's work did not do it!" 

Tiara just smiled, she was uncomfortable with Anita's insinuations. "Who knows, who knows if this is a misdeliver" he replied flatly, Tiara moved the flower pots to the other side of the booth so as not to block the view.

"What wrong send? Who received me, from the Ark directly he said to Tiara. Lo Tiara's name, right?" Rio asked with sarcasm, and again Tiara could only smile wryly.

Since the first day Tiara worked in the information section, Rio had always been acting unpleasant. More silence and pay attention to Tiara. Unlike Anita who is better to talk to. 

"Ra, did you see those fathers from yesterday?" Anita suddenly pokes Tiara's hand, she raises her head pointing towards one of the large pillars on the mall's left wing.

Tiara's eyes widened, "Pak Amrin?"

"Sir Amrin who is Ra? You familiar?" Anita was curious about the figure of the man she saw from yesterday pacing back and forth in front of the booth.

"The head of the section where I used to be! He's also the reason I moved here!"

"Eyeh, why the hell?"

"Hhm, rejected my same love mbak!" Tiara chuckled amusedly trying to cover up the actual incident.

"Iiish this is serious! The hell does he like you? Udah old bangka that too, mending ganteng lha this bangkotan!" said Anita who laughed amusedly.

"Here, bangkotan if the money is much also lo doyan Ta!" Rio chimed in, his hands were cool to play the game on his phone.

"You love to flutter like a sledgehammer! Don't play games on suspension again know your taste!" Anita grumbled in annoyance.

Tiara just smiled looking at the two comrades. His eyes looked back at Mr. Amrin who was still standing in his place. "Is he still there?!" annoyed.

Tiara ignored Mr. Amrin who was still standing in his place, an important call for a mother to avert her gaze. Tiara chose to return to work. Ignoring the presence of Mr. Amrin who harbored anger.

"See you Tiara, I'll get you any way!"
