The Mystery Red Umbrella
The Accused Person

Nick and Lucia came that afternoon. Surely Lucia was very worried about Anna's situation after hearing from her brother if something unpleasant had happened to Anna. For Lucia, whom Anna had helped so many times, Anna was the savior. Originally starting out in the woods, if he hadn't been helped by Anna maybe that night he'd be dead.

As soon as she arrived, Lucia immediately looked for Anna. The girl was brought into the room where Anna was acting again. Anna sat in front of the window, her gaze blank. He pretended to be unaware of Lucia's arrival. He also pretended not to respond. It was in her heart that she was relieved to see that Lucia was doing well but she knew, not for the night of the full moon because it was Lucia's pure soul that would raise Mariana.

Seeing that Anna was sitting quietly, Lucia approached Anna. He stood before Anna and looked at her fixedly.

"Sister Anna, Lucia came to visit" said the girl. She hoped that what she heard from her brother was not true but in fact, Anna really did not respond to him.

"Sister Anna?" Lucia called back. Anna was silent with a straight forward look. Lucia's tears trickled down, the girl called back to Anna and hugged her while crying. It turned out that what her sister said was very true, Anna was like a living doll.

"What happened to you, brother? Why are you being like this?" asked Lucia in between her sobs.

The one who had helped him, suddenly became like that. What was Anna's state because of the talisman that had been in her hands at the moment? If so it's better he returns the talisman.

"What's the state of Sister Anna because she doesn't have the amulet that's on me, Aunty?" ask Lucia to Anna's mother.

"Aunty feels nothing to do, don't think about it."

"No, if Kak Anna's condition can improve after Lucia returns the amulet then Lucia will return it," Lucia was about to come out to pick up the amulet she kept in the bag.

"Don't, Lucia. If there's no talisman then you'll be in danger!" prevent Nick. His sister's life is still under threat.

"Right, keep hold of the amulet. Anna won't be happy you gave it back because more than anything, she wants you to stay alive. That's why he gave you the amulet" said Anna's mother.

"But I can't bear to see Anna's sister like this" Lucia hugged Anna again and cried. Why would someone as good as Anna have to go through something like that?

Anna held herself back, she had to stay in her acting. After all what he was doing right now for the safety of Lucia and herself. As with the original plan, the situation should not be discovered before the night of the full moon. Right now he was precisely thinking about the puzzle given by his guardian spirit.

Narrow but not narrow, the place is closed but many live. In the puzzle it does not say who lives is a human. Many who live have a lot of meaning, it could be a spirit or it could be an animal. The teki also mentioned the cloud people who saw was not aware of the place and could not enter it. What exactly does this puzzle mean? Is it a cemetery or some kind of secret passageway?

He felt that information was lacking, he needed more information but where could he get that information? Anna was thinking as Nick sat by her side and gave a kiss on her forehead. Anna's one hand was held and rubbed slowly.

"What's wrong with you, Anna? Why haven't you come back with us?" nick asked, Anna's hand was rubbed back slowly.

"Is your soul lost in the forest? Or Barrow who has misled your soul? I shouldn't have listened to what you said and called the police to get Barrow arrested. To be honest, I'm afraid you've been killed by Barrow in a ritual he's been doing. I'm really afraid you're going through it so your soul has been sold to the devil!" I hope what he fears doesn't happen. He hopes Anna's condition will recover as soon as possible.

"I miss you, Anna. misses you as always," Anna's hand is lifted and in a slow kiss, "Hurry back, come back, you can definitely fight the devil that shackles your soul if Barrow has already sold your soul to the devil."

"We tried, Nick. The smart man who saw Anna's situation said that only Anna's soul could be restored, Anna's mother" said.

"What does that mean, Aunty? Is my guess right that Barrow sold Anna's soul to the devil?"

"Come on, but the smart guy said something happened to Anna in the woods" said Anna's mother. Hopefully with the lie, Nick did not ask too many more questions about the state of Anna so they do not need to lie too much.

"No, I'm sure it must have been Barrow. There was nothing else, he deliberately brought Anna into the forest and then felled Anna there. So Anna's gone, I'm sure of it," Nick still insists on his assumption because that's the most plausible reason Anna's situation could be.

"really? Have you seen Barrow lately?" anna's mother approaches Nick and pretends to be serious.

"Barrow is missing, Aunty. From that day on he was not seen again, so I suspected him."

"How's this? If we can find Barrow's whereabouts, what's the way Anna can go back?"

"Now, I'm looking for his whereabouts," a heavy breath exhaled, Nick looked desperate which showed as if he had been trying to find Barrow but he had not succeeded.

"I hope you can find her whereabouts so Anna can get back to us soon," when she's just talking but she doesn't expect their conversation to go that far.

"I will definitely find her whereabouts, Aunty. I can't wait for Anna to recover because I want to marry her" Nick said without hesitation.

"really? Is my brother joking?" Lucia who heard her brother's words was very happy because she really hoped Anna to be her sister-in-law.

"Of course not, Lucia. I'm serious."

"You hear that, brother?" Lucia went back to Anna and sat by her side, "Sister will soon be my sister-in-law, so hurry back with all of us," Lucia leaned against Anna's arm, leaning on hers, he hoped Anna would return quickly so that their wishes could be fulfilled.

Anna's mother just smiled, very good news but unfortunately for now who is the opponent and who is a friend they don't know yet so they must remain vigilant. He tries to help his daughter to cover up her situation even though he honestly does not have the heart of Nick and Lucia because they are very good especially they have come all the way to see Anna's situation.

"Guys, I bought a snack. Does anyone want to?" ask aunt Anna who just came back from buying things.

"Of course, help me lead Anna to bed" Anna's mother asked.

"Me and Lucia, Aunty," Nick moves on and Lucia does. Anna's mother didn't stop, she let the two of them lead Anna to the bed. Anna's acting really deserves credit, she plays her acting really well.

Anna was still not even flinching as Nick kissed her lips before coming out but after they had come out, Anna took a breath. I'm tired of acting like that. It seemed like he could take on a side job of becoming an impromptu artist after this.
