Together with the Mbah who did not want to tell his name, the three young people returned to the old house they left behind. In fact, to just think about Novan especially Gopal it seems not to have time. It sounds evil, but the third brain is already dissolved in emotion because of their unconsciousness about everything that happens. They've been careless.

In a hurry, Genta began to enter and when he looked back, apparently Si Mbah was still silent in the living room observing to each side. Genta frowned, not knowing what else to wait for while the screams from inside there could not bear to be heard longer.

"Wait for what, Mbah?" vin asked who was aware of the questionable gaze of his friend so he represented to ask.

His eyes are still everywhere. "Indeed her. Even this whole house has been cupped by him so as not to interfere with his plans."

Kinara really wanted to cry. 'He' is meant by Si Mbah is certainly Widji, his father. But the girl also realized, it was not time to cry now. Not a good time to be weak right now. He must stay strong no matter what. Two of his friends are risking their lives. In my heart, I just swear. Never forgave Widji in his entire life. According to him, it is a form of punishment for everything Widji has done.

Si Mbah looks komat-kamit, like chanting something that Genta and Vin and Kinara do not know at all. The Mbah came out of the house again, making them inevitably follow. Putting aside the voice of Salfa who screamed along with the ramming of things that were like slammed.

The hand of the Mbah went up one. It was open at first, but slowly turned into a fist. Before then he bent down and squatted with that fist pounded to the ground. Si Mbah's hands opened again, scavenging the ground there and then bringing him in. Genta, Vin, and Kinara entered again. He saw that the Mbah threw little by little sand into almost every corner of the house, still with a mouth that reads prayers.

"He has been taken to another realm" said Si Mbah when stopped in front of the door of the room full of boards.

Vin frowned when he realized the door was almost cracked. Seeing that only his heart was not calm imagining how Salfa was in there. He glanced at Genta who looked adorable. One of the young man's hands rested on the wall. Vin knows Genta is very scared not to play, worrying about Salfa.

"Well you know where he was taken to another realm?" vin asked then, because honestly, he still had a hard time accepting the statement. Especially when he saw Genta silent without a word like now. "Have you not seen it yet?"

"God is indeed generous to me" replied the Mbah whom Kinara understood what he meant. There is an element of emphasis there according to him, probably because the Mbah feels he has been underestimated.

"Eh, Vin. Lo what the hell?" whispered Kinara then moved to look at Si Mbah. "I trust You, Mbah. Please help my best friend, or I will not forgive myself. If she's why would I tell her mother? How am I going to explain to his father?"

Seeing the glasses girl pleaded with great sincerity, making the Mbah feel even more unwilling to say it. However, these three people deserve to know at all costs.

"Look, Nduk.." said Si Mbah began the explanation. FYI, 'Nduk' is a call for girls, the same as 'Le' which is a call for boys in Java.

"Even this courtesy is directed not only to the girl inside there, but also to her father. Now, his own father is being taken away, and it is almost impossible to return" Si Mbah continued. "While the girl, still able to control not to be taken too far, she escaped and got stuck somewhere that could still be reached."

The clapper that had been looking down since, raised his head back. He walked closer to Si Mbah with an undefined gaze that Si Mbah perfectly understood what he meant. If only it were not so the reality, but it is a pity, Si Mbah said the truth. Tell him what he knows.

"My job now, just bring him back. Then only you can immediately return to Jakarta, because the girl's father needs his daughter," explained Si Mbah again. "The girl inside this, her inner eyes are open. I'm right, right?"

The three young men then nodded in unison. It made Si Mbah nod briefly. Indeed Si Mbah felt that the girl's father seemed to have deliberately given himself up, but again unfortunate, that the sender santet is a greedy person who did not keep his promise.

"Your father, come to your friend's father. Not directly, but through his dreams. Your father warned him that he would destroy your friend's father by harming his daughter. That's why, the father offered to replace your friend, by voluntarily handing over his body to the genie allied with your father..."

Kinara immediately shook her head, her tears had already slid smoothly on the cheeks. "He's not my father, Mbah.." he then wiped away the tears, trying to quell his sadness.

Vin who saw that could not bear it, and immediately took Kinara into his arms. Donating the remnants of his power to the girl he loves more than friends. "Gue knows you're not like him, Ra."

Soon Kinara let go of Vin's embrace, not wanting to be swept away anymore because this is not the time to focus on strengthening himself. Salfa is more important, and that's for sure. "What do we do now, Mbah?" tanyanya.

"After the door opens, the two of you, hold him and rope him in the chair to limit his movement. But most importantly, I need one person who will take him to another dimension" Si Mbah said.

"Indeed, can't you?" ask Vin then.

"I have to guard the portal."

Si Mbah seemed to be letting out a slow sigh. "But not just anyone can go there. Only people whose inner eyes are open can" he continued.

Genta, Vin, and Kinara looked at each other. Although the Mbah did not say directly, they understood. Since there was no one here who could help them, then of course the one asked for help was themselves. One of them must be willing to open his inner eyes.

"Me alone, Mbah," Kinara replied steadily. "With this, let me redeem what the man is doing to Salfa."

"No!" push Genta fast. He advanced to Kinara, looking at her sharply, but then turned soft. "Lo doesn't need to prove anything anymore. I believe you're a good man. I am not like Bokap Lo. Let this be my responsibility, Ra."

The Mbah smiled faintly because of the salute. Moreover, that was what he expected. There is something else that Genta must see and know. And the way is only through this. The Mbah actually only acts as an intermediary while trying to help as much as possible.

"Anyone who picks up there will not be able to return home unless he is accompanied by the same entity as them. Which is not human" said Si Mbah again.

It certainly makes Vin shudder in horror but anyway he knows he will not be able to prevent Genta. His best friend also needs help. Just look at the dings from inside the room, sounding very gripping on this cold night. Vin felt like he wanted to shut up, then when he opened his eyes again, everything was done. But that's only if, of course.

"That means besides my inner eyes to be opened, I must also be accompanied by one of them?" genta asked to make sure his hearing was right.

The Mbah nodded. Then it all started. The procession of opening the inner eye of Genta, immediately carried out. The Mbah asked Genta to lay his hands on his chest cross-legged and close his eyes. He covered it with a long black cloth that had been brought from his house. Si Mbah brought one hand closer right between the young man's eyebrows.

"One more thing." said Si Mbah began. "What has been opened cannot be closed again. You'll see everything, and it's forever. You will also feel their presence, smell their scent, and hear their voice. It can be at any time, in any place..Are you ready?"

"READY," replied Genta steadily. He no longer uses his logic because he is ready for everything after this. He did not want to know, he had to help Salfa and bring her back.

Si Mbah nodded, satisfied with Genta's reply. He then closed his mouth, chanting something to be able to open the eyes of the three youths. Genta, meanwhile, felt as if there was a bright white light, which turned into a light of color before he felt something else in him, which he did not know.

All of them, a lot. A great deal. Exactly like what Salfa said the other day that it's crowded like a night market. But the gaze of everything was as usual, calm. He didn't even feel intimidated where he was standing right now. The young man turned to the Mbah.

"This is the scene that you will see from now on" said Si Mbah, understanding the intent of Genta's gaze.

Kinara snorted hearing that. That means, around him a lot. Unknowingly his hand was already related to Vin's hand due to feeling sudden goosebumps. Vin who knows, immediately calms him down.

"Who of them will help me, Mbah?" ask Genta.

"There's."

That was the answer from the Mbah. He did not want to answer anything because Genta would be better off knowing for himself. Indeed, suddenly this house so there is content again is because earlier, Si Mbah has taken them all out of the cage with his ability. Even though he was very old, he still had enough strength for it.

"Who?" ask Genta again. His eyes were already scanning one by one with the courage that came from his strong determination to pick up the girl he loved. "Which one?"

"Just enter the portal first, later you can meet him," replied Si Mbah in a tone that seemed not to want to be pelted with questions again.

Slowly, the tightly nailed wood was removed by Genta and Vin. Perhaps, listening to the outside noises of slammed wood, Salfa, who had been scratching the floor, turned his head.

The girl's face turned really horrible. Her hair was messy, with a lot of blood as the figure possessing her made movements that caused the girl to be injured. He climbed over the wall, slammed whatever he wanted, and shouted to challenge anyone.

Now, the figure who possessed Salfa was waiting right at the door. "YOU WANNA GET ME OUT, HA?" he shouted from within with a thunderous voice, shocking the three people who were outside.

"Don't be afraid, we are much stronger than them" Si Mbah warned. "As long as I'm here, I'll do what's best for you. Moreover, the waiters of this house that I just released a moment ago, they want to help. Because, from the beginning they didn't dislike you, but what followed you."

"THIS GIRL CAN'T GO BACK! DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH TO BRING IT, HAHAHAHAHA!"

"THIS BODY WILL BE MINE!! MY MASTER GAVE IT TO ME!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, HA?"

"HOW CAN YOU FIGHT MEUU?!!!"

The Mbah is looking for a swing. His gaze was like putting up a count so that the two young men prepared to speed up and block the girl who was possessed.

"When I open the door, hold it."

"Ready, Mbah."

Kinara had been asked to stay away, and the girl complied. Take a few steps back from its original place, with incredible thumping that for a whole new time this time feels very horrified. He can only pray, I hope everything is okay. Hopefully with the opening of Genta's third eye, the young man really managed to help Salfa.

Door opened. According to what Si Mbah said, Genta and Vin immediately jumped quickly, not even giving Salfa a chance to fight. The girl clearly immediately thrashed out asking to be released with her deafening loud voice.

"GODPAAAASS!! HOW DARE YOU!!"

"Nobody can see his eyes!" reprimand Si Mbah firmly then pulled the chair that had been brought from the living room, into the room.

It's a mess in there. Very messy. All the stuff in there was torn apart like a tornado-ridden city. Vin until the rings are made. He sat Salfa down with full force while Genta roped him down with the rope they found in the kitchen. Salfa's hands, feet, and body were wrapped around a rope, causing him to be unable to move freely and to grow angry.

For whatever reason, Genta could not bear to see the state of Salfa as such. Now, he just wanted to pick her up and bring the girl home. Oh, my God, help me.

The ritual begins. The clapper is asked to sit down, cross-legged. With closed eyes of course. Si Mbah also held Genta's hand, because that was the way. Chanting another prayer, the sharpened Mbah helped Genta penetrate the dimension. It is now popularly known as Astral Projection.

"Open your eyes" Si Mbah told Genta.

The young man opened his eyes. It felt strange because the air and aura emanating from the house were much different. The young man then woke up, and how surprised he was when he could see himself, sitting cross-legged with his eyes still closed. There was the Mbah as well, but he sat still, staring at him.

"I'll wait for you here. Find the girl" said Si Mbah.

Genta nodded, but then scanned everywhere, not knowing where to put his foot. He looked questioningly at the Mbah, but his gaze, which seemed to be fixed at one point, made him spontaneously turn his head.

I don't know, it looks like Genta saw it wrong. But after squinting and seeing a short-haired girl getting closer, he felt shocked. Why is this girl here? Is it not in another dimension?

Genta's eyes changed, turning to Si Mbah again, but he just looked at him calmly. It is difficult to describe the meaning of the way the Mbah looks at him at this time. The young man turned around and approached the girl.

"Diandra's? How are you here?”
