The Mystery Red Umbrella
Protective Spirit

Roasted turkey chicken is on the table along with several other dishes. Before answering Anna's curiosity, her mother and aunt invited Anna to eat first.

Anna watched her mother and aunt endlessly, she really did not expect that there was anything they were hiding from her. Had he not seen the red umbrella's spirit, he thought his mother and aunt would have kept it hidden from him even though he did not know what was really going on.

Her mother's shock as she asked as well as her worried expression greatly intrigued her. He never saw his mother that worried. What ability will he have to endanger himself or even that ability he can use to help others? Really he was curious and what made him most curious was, where did he get such an ability from.

"What about Mommy. Is Mommy still hallucinating?" anna asked to melt down the quite tense situation between the three of them.

"Mommy's fine, honey. Are you going to stay tonight or are you going home after dinner?" ask her mother anyway. She hoped her daughter would stay over because they had not been together for a long time.

"Of course I'll stay over, Mom. I don't want to be intercepted by the ghost of the bride anymore" replied Anna, her eyes not off her face because she wanted to read every expression her mother showed.

A heavy breath was breathed out by her mother, as was the aunt. Finally came where the day was, they had to reveal it all to Anna. They wanted to be quiet but what could be done, Anna could already see the spirit so inevitably they had to tell Anna.

"Why do you guys look like that? ask Anna.

"Finish the meal and we'll talk" said the mother.

Anna nodded, she had plenty of time tonight to listen to her mother's story. He hopes tonight the red umbrella's spirit will do nothing. I hope the girl named Lucia is okay.

They talk about other things and try not to offend it first while enjoying the food.

"How do you do, Anna? When are you getting married?" ask mother.

"Come on, Mommy don't throw taboo questions to singles like me!"

"In your workplace, there's no handsome guy to the point of making him have no girlfriend?" ask the aunt.

"It's not there, Aunty. Many men are handsome but no one can make my heart flutter" replied Anna with a big smile.

"Don't be too picky, Anna. No man is perfect" said his mother.

"I know, Mom. I just haven't found the right one yet. If I had found the right man I would have married"

"Well, what about your job? You said you were working on a complicated case right now. Is it not finished?"

"Hmm, that's why I came home," Anna picked up the glass and gulped down the contents before she continued her words.

Her mother and aunt looked at each other, not understanding Anna's intentions. What is Anna's return to the case she's working on?

"How should Mommy answer him" said his mother, sighing.

"Why? I can't just see them now, but I feel like I have an ability that keeps them from touching me. I was in the woods, though, helping a girl who was about to be killed by the spirit of the red umbrella and I was about to die was strangled by the spirit and then suddenly a strange beam came out of my body so that the spirit was bounced. Not only that, while in the hospital the spirit was strangling the neck of the victim then I held the hand of the victim and again the spirit was bounced. What's really going on with me, Mom?" he really wants to know.

"Anna, your grandmother was actually a ghost repellent" her aunt said.

"What?" Anna was shocked to hear her aunt's words. He never knew about this.

"You look at all the decorations in the house" her mother pointed to the decorations on the wall, "All that's the devil antidote your grandmother installed" she said.

"What does this have to do with the skills I have?"

"Anna, you used to have a twin sister but an evil spirit was after your brother's life. We don't know why but that's what happened. Your grandmother tried to help your twin brother but grandmother's efforts were in vain, she had to leave because of the evil spirit," her mother looked down and looked sad. It made Anna shocked because she never knew about it.

"Why are you hiding this from me?" anna asked not to accept.

"Your grandmother said you shouldn't know, Anna. You were both born on a full night, you two were predicted to die by the doctor but somehow you survived. We thought it was a miracle but in fact you were targeted by an evil spirit no, actually you were targeted but something in your body made the spirit could not touch you so he was after your twin brother's life."

"Something what?" anna asked not to understand.

"Come on, grandma says you have a protective spirit and that spirit will appear when you're in danger and desperate."

"Then, why the last few days I've only been able to see spirits? Why not before?"

"That's because the spirit that you see needs your help so once you can see it, you'll see others too. But once you can see the spirit, you have to be careful because the evil spirit that once wanted you will come back again to target your life," replied the aunt. This is what they were worried about and that is why they hid this from Anna

Anna was silent, thinking about her mother's words but she was surprised by her grandmother's figure standing behind her mother but her grandmother's figure was seen smiling.

"So the red umbrella's spirit needs my help?" tanyanya.

"Yes, you have the ability that your grandmother had, Anna. Not only repel ghosts but Grandma can also help the spirits who died in unnatural circumstances or spirits who have not been able to leave because they have something that has not been resolved. Now that you know you can see them, use your abilities well but be careful of the spirits that are after you."

Anna nodded and sighed, her life becoming complicated now. Helping spirits is not easy especially angry spirits like the red umbrella. He felt the spirit was not to ask for his help but he felt that he should offer to help the spirit.

Now answered were the questions he wanted to know. It turned out that he had a protective spirit but could that spirit protect him from the striped-nose man? Hope so.

What happened to the red umbrella? If he ever met the spirit again, he would invite him to a conversation. Hopefully the spirit will say what happened before there are any more victims but the spirit is standing in front of the window of a house while looking at a young man with a look full of hatred.
