The Mystery Red Umbrella
Return of Barrow

Anna tried to rebel from the man who was holding her from behind. He could not guess who the man was even he was worried that the man behind him right now was the son of Mariana.

The man hugged her even more tightly, because Anna was still rebelling. Anna grabbed the man's arm, she was about to slam him but her intentions came to a halt as the man spoke.

"Anna, it's me!"

Anna turned away, her eyes glaring at the Barrow she had left behind in a fainting manner. What the hell's been going on? Barrow looks different.

"Let's get out of here!' bring Barrow.

Anna nodded, though much she wanted to know but it was not a good choice to speak in that unsafe place because Mariana could have come back and seen them. Barrow takes Anna to his car, Anna is getting curious because the car is already far from where she left it.

No one talks between them. Anna saw Barrow who was carrying the car away with a suspicious look as it could have been that the man was still under Mariana's control to trick her. He better be careful in talking.

"What's going on with you, Barrow. Why do you know I was there?" Anna was still staring at Barrow with a suspicious look, she had to be on the lookout.

"The car you left behind and the old grandmother's spirit" replied Barrow.

"You mean?"

"Listen, I don't know what happened but I kind of woke up in a long beautiful dream. I dreamt of spending time playing with my sister all day, "that's exactly what Barrow felt as long as he was under Mariana's control.

"Didn't you feel anything else?" asked Anna again, but she remained vigilant.

"I don't know, Anna. I'm following all my sister's wishes so I don't know what's going on because I feel like I'm just playing with my sister."

"That's not your sister's request, Barrow. You're so influenced by Mariana that you feel you're with your sister and obeying her orders is what Mariana commands."

"really? What have I been doing all this time?" Barrow saw it for a moment, he really wanted to know.

"You did a devil worship ritual in your house and killed a lot of animals!"

"What?" Barrow was surprised and returned to see Anna, "Are you kidding?" tanyanya did not believe.

"No, you turned into someone else because you were under Mariana's control. You even have strange powers and you assigned Mariana to guard the old house."

"Is that why I was there?" ask Barrow.

"Do you know me well, Barrow?" Anna asked back because she was still suspicious and could not trust Barrow just like that.

"Of course, Anna. All this time I really didn't know what I was doing. I told you, I woke up in such a long dream. I was shocked when I woke up to a cloth covering my body. I was also surprised to see your car in the old house" Barrow stopped his car to the side of the road and looked at Anna.

"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't realize what I was doing. The old woman's spirit said I attacked you, is it true?"

"No need to think, did you communicate with the old woman's spirit?" now it's been answered why Mariana punished them. Though he did not ask for the help of the spirits but why did they take the risk?

"of course. As soon as I regained my senses, I was struck by the old woman who said what happened. She's the one who asked me to go and don't let go of the thing you gave her," Barrow took the amulet in his pocket and showed it to Anna, "Isn't that a talisman in your grandmother's house?" tanyakanya.

"Yeah, I thought it was useful when I left you unconscious."

"Of course it's useful, I've been back in that house for two days looking for your whereabouts but Mariana doesn't know where I am."

"Two days?" Anna was surprised, had she been in the magical realm for two days? No, he felt like he was only a few hours away in that realm.

"Wait, so I've been in the supernatural for two days?"

"Didn't you realize it?"

"Of course, I don't feel hungry and thirsty. I even felt like I was in there for less than two hours."

"Denar, Anna," Barrow grabbed Anna's one hand and held it.

"I don't know what you're looking for in nature, I really want to help you but unfortunately I can't. That old granny's spirit asked me to take your car away so Mariana wouldn't know. Looks like the old grandmother's spirit and the five spirits trapped inside the house are helping you."

"Can you see them now, Barrow?"

"No!" answer Barrow briefly.

"Then how do you know if there's a granny's spirit?"

"I guessed from his voice."

"Can I trust you, Barrow?" Honestly, he should be vigilant. Do not let him be fooled by Barrow who pretends to have returned even though Mariana can still control the man easily.

"Of course, Anna. I'm back, trust me. Forgive me for being so easily tricked by Mariana. Now that I'm taking you home, your wounds need to be treated immediately and you need rest."

"I hope you're still you, Barrow!"

"Trust me, Anna. We're both gonna get rid of Mariana. "

"Alright, now take me to my official house!" pinta Anna's.

"You live there?"

"Yeah.... My house was ransacked by you!"

"Damn!" barrow is upset. It turned out that he had already done a lot of harm during Mariana's control. When he woke up, he really did not understand why he could be in the old house. Barrow was completely absentminded let alone the old grandmother's spirit communing with him which made him even more surprised.

Wanting to know what happened, Barrow asked them. That's why he knew Anna was in the supernatural. It felt like he was dying to ask what Anna was looking for but if he did that then Anna would think he was still under Mariana's control so Anna didn't trust him.

Anna held onto his shoulder while grimacing. It turned out that the injuries he had gotten in the supernatural realm could be felt in the real world. He really didn't expect that it had been two days since he left, it shouldn't have been such a strange thing because of the time difference.

Barrow gave Anna a bottle of water, she could see that Anna was so tired. After this Anna would not be alone anymore because she had already returned.

They've arrived at Anna's official house. Anna rushed over because she could not wait to tell her mother and aunt if she had succeeded.

"Mom's... Aunty, I'm back!" shouted Anna.

The house was so quiet no one answered. Anna was very astonished and entered the house in a hurry.

"Mom, Aunty," Anna again called out but suspicion filled the heart, a premonition was bad.

Anna searches for her mother and aunt helped by Barrow but the two of them are nowhere to be found. Anna even borrowed Barrow's cell phone to contact them but his mother and aunt's phones were off. Where are the two of them?
