The Talc of Nyai
Regretted?

Tiara trembled and sat limply in one of the dark hallways of the hospital. He looked at both his hands with a heart of sorrow. The splattered blood of Arka still stuck in both hands dirtying the gauze wrapped around his right hand. Likewise with the soft pink Tiara shirt.

His body shook, tears flowed endlessly as the deep sadness Tiara felt. Arka's death was not part of Tiara's plan. Arka is a friend to him, Tiara's whole life this time feels comfortable in men.

If Bayu is pseudo then Arka is real. Tiara's feelings for Arka were purely affectionate and would probably have been love if Arka had not been killed horribly.

Tiara bent her knees, clutching herself in grief. The sound of weeping filled the hospital's dimly lit hallway. He did not care about the supernatural figure who had noticed himself, he also did not care about the greeting of the smell of rancid and foul that tickled the sense of smell. Tiara just wanted to cry and vent all her sadness.

"Ra," Rendra gently touched his sister's shoulder.

"We go home yuk, Arka's body has also been taken by his family."

Tiara raised her head with her eyes moist and wet, she hugged Rendra tightly.

"It's my fault, Arka died because of me!"

"Don't blame yourself Ra, it's destiny." Rendra stroked Tiara's back gently. He let his brother cry again.

"Miko, Ren! Miko killed Arka!"

Rendra was taken aback by Tiara's words, "Miko?"

"Yes, Miko hit Arka and I saw my own eyes, she laughed. I went after Miko but she hit the gas!"

Rendra parsed her arms, held firmly onto Tiara's shoulders and looked at the two puffy eyes. "You sure?"

Tiara nodded, and Rendra let out a long sigh. He reached into his pocket and showed a terrible photo, a car hit by heavy equipment and his transport truck rolled across the middle of the ramp to Semarang above.

"What's this?" Tiara sharpened her eyes towards the phone screen.

"Send this to me about an hour ago. He wants us to come to honor Miko one last time."

"I don't want to, and don't make me step foot in there!" tiara's sad eyes instantly turned into fury, Rendra could only sigh heavily. Their situation was indeed unfavorable at the moment.

Rendra hugged her sister, helped to stand up and took her home. "You need to rest,"

The two brothers finally left the hospital. Tiara remained silent for a thousand languages until she arrived at her apartment.

"Arka Cemetery at three o'clock in the afternoon, if you want to come I'm antherin." Rendra said to Tiara before he left.

Tiara did not reply, she chose silence and buried her face into the soft bolster she was holding. The sound of crying came back, and Rendra could only stare at her sister and let Tiara rest.

A burly hand hugged Tiara possessively, kissing Tiara's nape and shoulder. Make Tiara open her eyes, "Wood,"

"Hmm, it's me baby. Why did you miss Miko's death?" sahut Bayu while continuing to shower Tiara with a kiss.

"Miko? No, why would I cry for that guy? Although I know he's my family but I don't care at all!"

Tiara flipped her body to face Bayu. "So, why are you crying?"

Tiara looked at Bayu's beautiful eyes, he was a handsome man who always took care of Tiara even though Bayu was a hairy soft man who lived in the supernatural.

"Arka, die."

"Arka, who is he?" Bayu pura did not know Arka or even remembered her, he put on a confused expression.

"Are you sure you don't remember him?"

"Yes, what is Arka important to you?" Bayu asked back.

For a moment Tiara silently did not answer, she looked at Bayu. "He's my friend, my best friend …,"

"And you love her?" Bayu cuts Tiara's words, his changed expression making Tiara suspicious.

"You jealous? Wait ... don't tell me you're behind Arka's death?"

Bayu was just silent, he hugged the slender body of Tiara tightly. "I love you my dear, I'm afraid of losing you."

Bayu gave one small bite at the corner of his lips letting Tiara enjoy a wild, passionate kiss by closing her eyes. Something strange happened to Tiara.

Tiara's vision opened, one slide scene after Arka was killed walking in her memory. Tiara looked at Miko's ruthless grin with a thin blackish aura that wrapped the tattooed man's body. Tiara also sees Bayu at the same time inside, hiding behind the body of the man she hates. Tiara gasped in disbelief at the subconscious vision sent to her.

"You did, you killed Arka! I saw you there, inside Miko's body!"

Bayu was still speechless and got off the bed, staring at Tiara for a moment before finally disappearing leaving behind a voice. "Arka is a warning to you, no one can take your heart and body but me! Remember that Tiara! Don't try to cheat me for whatever reason!"

Tiara was wide-eyed, she tried not to believe Bayu's words but reality spoke otherwise. "So Arka died because .. me?"

"Woody, why? Why did Arka have to die?" his murmur was softly interspersed with sobs.

Tiara again dissolved in grief, she felt cheated by the black hairy softener earlier. He was angry, confused, disappointed, and also sad. Arka is innocent, he just wants to be given a chance to love Tiara, but Bayu acts too far and over.

Arka's funeral procession went smoothly, Tiara did not dare to approach. He hid and saw it from a distance. Tiara could not see the grief of the two Arcan parents who were crying over the only child. Behind her glasses and black veil, Tiara cried. Rendra rubbed Tiara's back giving her strength.

"Ikhlasin Ra,"

Rendra's words so pierced his heart, if Rendra knew what happened. The jealousy of a feathered soft man named Bayu makes the life of a person he just thought of as a friend a victim. Bayu did not take the life of Arka as an offering but rather because of pleasure.

"I'm sorry, if we had never met Arka …,"

The drizzling rain graced a heartbreaking afternoon. Tiara only moved after she took the time to wipe the Ark's headstone as the mourners left.

"Thank you for a wonderful last moment. Again, I'm sorry."

Tiara could not hold back the tears of sadness, but crying would not bring Arka back to her.

"Ra, are we going to Miko's place? Not good with papah." Rendra said that to Tiara as they got into the car.

"You alone, I do not want and do not want." said Tiara flat.

"Well, you don't want to wait in the car. Let me who found papah." he also drove his vehicle Tanah Mas area, Tiara silence considered agreed by Rendra.

Arriving at the housing where Hendrawan Adhiwijaya, Tiara and Rendra looked at each other.

"Are you sure you want to come in? I don't think so!" Tiara finally let out a sound.

As one of the businessmen and prominent figures, the overflow of mourners is inevitable both from the ordinary people and the higher ups of the city of Semarang come and go. Rows of wreaths of mourning flooded along the road that would enter Hendrawan's house.

"Hmmm I think so too. I don't want our arrival to make a mess, especially Papah's wife obviously won't let us get close."

"Well, that's all you know, right? It is better to take care of our own hearts than to be hurt."

Rendra took his cell phone and sent a short message to his father. "What are we going to do back?" asked Rendra to his sister who was monitoring the situation around.

"What time is the funeral?"

"The word secretary papah may be at 4 pm wait for his sister to come from Perth, meaning soon."

Tiara clucked, "Huh, mo's buried in trouble!"

Tiara's heart ached seeing things so differently at the time of her death. No fancy funeral, no bouquets, not even the father showing his nose. All of them went through with grief alone.

They decided to stay in the car while waiting for the accompaniment of the body to pass. An hour later, Miko's hearse passed them, and Hendrawan's car was right behind her.

"Thou dear papah,"

"Ra, she's also …,"

"Stop, walk away!"

Rendra shook his head, they also participated in the hearse. Miko's body is interred in Heaven Hill Memorial Park, Rendra soon joins other mourners though from a distance while Tiara chooses to look at it from a distance.

Two men with two different stories died at the same time. But only one that Tiara regrets, Arka's death. He folded both hands in front of his chest, not caring about the drizzle getting busier.

"A beautiful death for you Miko," she sibir did not forget with a sour grin.

"His unclean daughter of Hendrawan also came, I was very surprised."

A male voice greeted him and made Tiara surprised, "You-you …,"

"Surprise,"
