Indigo Couple
45. Recover and Want to Go Back Home

Anta touched the hands of the father and mother of a little boy named Royco earlier. Then, the ghost laughed as it twisted its large eyes that were only one. He laughed creepily to scare. The couple immediately screamed. The two staggered as they ran out of his son's room.

Royco, a seven-year-old girl, awoke sweating. He called his father and mother but was not by his side. The little girl immediately cried as the ghost of a lantern stuck out her tongue. What a very funny ghost.

"Chochin-obake is not told in any Japanese myth or legend. That way, it has an unclear origin. The only thing that is known of this demon is that it was indeed created to frighten little children." The voice of a nun named Mirae sounded surprising to Anta. 

"Can you see it?" ask Anta. 

"Just like you saw it. Royco is also different, the fragrance is well liked by ghosts." The nurse turned to the Lantern Ghost who immediately looked down in fear. The ghost also left.

Sister Mirae hugged Royco and rubbed him. The girl began to calm down. Anta just realized that the figure of the sister floating did not trace the earth. 

"The form as a lantern does appear in Japanese mythology, namely tsukumogami, or spirits that inhabit objects. Those things then become yokai after a hundred years." Sister Mirae then sang a lullaby to Royco until the little girl fell asleep again.

"So, the ghost resembling a lantern had a soul" asked Anta.

"Yes, Son. Ordinary lanterns can turn into chochin-obakes after a hundred years of use. It comes from an ancient Shinto religious belief that all objects, even inanimate objects, have a soul."

"Oh so…."

"This boy is calm. His stupid parents will also return. It's too bad that a different child like him is in the hands of a stupid parent." Sister Mirae looks teary.

"Different child?" Anta scrunched his forehead.

"Right, he will be able to control the power of supernatural beings, just like you. The Queen of the West was reborn in the body of this child. That's what I heard. Hopefully he can take good care of himself. Because gradually there will be evil people who serve evil beings and target their bodies just like evil beings who want your body." Sister Mirae smiled and sat down next to the girl lying down.

"It won't be easy. Through childhood with the condition of being a different child will definitely be difficult. Hopefully Royco can get through it with great courage." Anta leaves Sister Mirae and Royco.

...***...

Three days passed, Arya had already been declared recovered. He's going home with Anta and Ria. Dion is going to London. Mr. Herdi and Tasya have entered the airport to check in. Their plane leaves in an hour.

Meanwhile, Ria was still saying goodbye to Ken. They were still talking and taking selfies of both. Dion approached Anta and was about to hug her. However, she is blocked by Arya who immediately hugs Dion.

"Kok, so you're the one I hugged?" Dion snorted in annoyance.

"Gue vice. Just be careful if you dare to hug Anta again at the airport kayak gini," threatened Arya.

"You want to gel here what's in the pool there all wet?" challenge Arya.

"Eh, uh, what are you guys doing this kind of friendly? Make Anta jealous." The girl broke both.

"So, shit!" exclaim Arya.

Anta looked towards Royco and his parents. The girl waved and smiled at Anta. The last three days have been both familiar. There was a man waiting for his family. They were taking him to London. Royco's family got on the plane because they arrived late to check in and the plane was about to take off. Anta was aghast when he saw the figure of a charred man who followed Royco. In order to inform the boy, Arya held Anta's arm.

"For this time, we should not interfere first," said Arya.

Royco got on the plane. He saw one of the flight attendants who seemed to be avoiding him. Then, not far from where he stood and was about to sit, he had heard two colleagues on the plane talking about the flight attendant who was afraid of the child. 

The flight attendant looked faint as the plane was about to take off from Japan to London City Airport. At that time, his friend looked unusual and seemed frightened.

Suddenly before departure, the condition was suddenly heavy rain around the airport. Until finally the flight attendant who allegedly could see the supernatural creature said something to his coworkers.

Royco briefly heard the conversation of the two flight attendants. The two of them were now staring towards the seat occupied by him. Moreover, the flight attendant named Tokai seemed to avoid his gaze with Royco.

At first, the other flight attendant was not too worried about the strange attitude of his coworkers who looked scared and panicked. However, during the flight that never took off, his co-worker was seen serving passengers unfocused. The frightened flight attendant also often looked towards the back of the aircraft cabin occupied by Royco.

The aircraft is delayed because the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) at the airport will not allow the aircraft to fly if the weather conditions are still heavy rain and can be dangerous. However, the pilot and co-pilot can reassure passengers if during rainy weather the plane is still departing. Passengers are asked not to worry, if the weather around has improved and the plane is allowed to take off, then the conditions at that time are indeed possible for the plane to fly.

Passengers are then welcome to return to the waiting area at the airport until the aircraft is allowed to take off. A flight attendant is required to serve the passengers by providing compensation in the form of food. While serving passengers starting from giving drinks or snacks, the indigo sister's coworker always stared with a frightened face towards Royco.

"What the hell did you see?" ask his partner while whispering.

"That girl wears a black sweater. He's got a magical creature behind him. There was a grandfather who had his whole body charred all," said Tokai who replied in a whisper as well.

How surprised his coworkers when his friend mentioned that the supernatural creature was very creepy. Shortly after ten minutes of delay, the plane finally took off. 

In the plane, the tense atmosphere was increasingly felt.
