The Mystery Red Umbrella
Hostages That Will Be Swapped

Anna's mother and aunt were both stunned and shocked because they were in a very foreign place. The place was dark and frightening, strange sounds were heard from other rooms. They were like in a basement or in a dark, smelly hallway, they really didn't know where to be. They didn't even know why they were taken to that place.

Sound - The sound of terrible laughter is not stopping, the cold is also so felt to make their Roman fur bristling. Anna's mother and aunt were tied to a pole. Both of their hands were raised in the back, their legs tied. They really did not understand why they had to experience such an event.

Before they were in that place, Nick suddenly came to Anna's official house with a reason to see the state of Anna who was then away looking for Artsbon knives. Anna said no one knew her house but they forgot about it because Anna's mother and aunt didn't suspect Nick Devan at all. Anna's mother and aunt were captivated by the kindness shown by Nick so they followed the young man easily and look now, they're waking up in a place that's unfamiliar to them.

"Where are we, brother?"

"I don't know" replied Anna's mother.

"Don't we go with Nick?" ask his sister again.

"It looks like something's wrong with that young man, Amy"

"Don't tell me if he?" the younger brother did not continue his words because he felt that the young man was not as good as they thought he was.

"It seems we've been deceived by him."

"Damn, I hope Anna knows about this!" said the aunt.

"Of course he knew, Aunty," suddenly Nick's voice came.

Anna's mother and aunt looked towards the door where Nick went inside and approached them. Nick smiled, looking at Anna's helpless aunt and mother.

"How are you, Aunty," asked Nick.

"What does this mean, Nick? Why are you arresting us like this?" ask Anna's mother. His gaze could not be separated from the young man they had trusted all along.

"Of course I caught you to be made a hostage."

"For what? What mistake did we make that you treat us like this?" this time the aunt asked.

"Error? Of course there isn't. But since Anna is disturbing and dangerous so you guys I'll take hostages to make the exchange later!" answer Nick.

"For what? What exchange do you mean?" the aunt still did not understand.

"Ha... Ha... Ha.. Oh...!" Nick laughed loudly. He is a pure descendant of Mariana, he is the son of Mariana who gets eternal life from her mother through a pact with the devil made by her mother. He lived for so long, did not age, nor did he die.

When Mariana is burned to death, Nick is indeed taken by the Mariana brothers who can escape. Mariana is the daughter of a servant who is allied with the devil, she sleeps with a noble son to get a descendant.

Not knowing who he was teasing at the time, Nick must have been born as his son. Nick grew up like a child in general, no one knew if he was the son of an evil witch who died from being burned. Mariana's brother hid it well and after Nick grew up, he gets youthfulness that will not fade and eternal life from the mother's agreement with the devil, of course, all that will be lost later if there is to thwart the resurrection of his mother. The immortality and good looks he has will be gone with the destruction of his mother's evil soul.

Nick lives by the times, he always lives alone, waiting for the resurrection of his mother on the hundredth day of his mother's death, then how can Nick be the oldest son in the Devan family?

It was then, when Galen Devan was young. He was just a poor young man who got a lot of insults from people who knew him. His family just did not want to acknowledge him and considered him as trash.

Galen, who had always been humiliated, could not stand it anymore and one day, Galen found a book of devil worship rituals. Wanting to get rich quick and not be seen as trash anymore by the people, Galen Devan summoned a demon and the one who came was Mariana.

Galen Devan asks Mariana for wealth, she wants to be a respected person so that she is not insulted and underestimated anymore. Surely granted by Mariana, he will give Galen Devan wealth provided that Galen considers Nick as his oldest son because Nick will bring Galen on the ladder of success.

Not only was that what Mariana wanted, she wanted a pure soul that was the daughter of Galen Devan that she would have in the future. Galen had to give his daughter's life and of course Galen agreed to it.

Galen Devan is married to Maria, his wife does not know anything but a strange magic tricked him so that he felt he had a son, Nick. Galen and Maria consider Nick as their eldest son and by chance, Lucia Devan was born as their first daughter.

In keeping with the promise, Galen had to subvert the daughter he had, therefore, Lucia was the special tumbala who had been chosen for the resurrection of Mariana.

Galen Devan played his role well, his wife did not even know if her husband had allied with the devil all this time and did not know if from the beginning, Lucia had indeed been grounded for the wealth they had.

Natalie who at that time loved Nick was not spared being a victim, she became a perpetrator who continued to take victims for Mariana. He also gets orders to kill Lucia, it's because Lucia is an adult and already knows men

What Mariana wants is the pure soul of Lucia, she does not want a girl who has been tarnished because of that Natalie continues to try to kill Lucia but she always fails because of Anna.

The presence of Anna who handles the case becomes the biggest obstacle especially when Mariana finds out if Anna is the baby she wanted first. Nick also plays a brother who cares for Lucia, he plays his part so well that Anna is unsuspecting but the spirit of the red umbrella who desperately wants to be free begins to mess with their plans in addition to the cursed box that Anna suddenly gets, increasingly makes the rise of Mariana threatened.

Their plans go awry, they always get a victim from Natalie but Natalie starts to get unbelievable so the role of the cursed box is needed to get the rest of the victims less and now, the, 3 the only souls needed are the pure soul of Lucia, the special soul of Anna and also the soul of Natalie who will join and perfect the resurrection of Mariana.

Nick is still laughing, he's so happy to be able to fool them all. If Anna had not taken away her mother's treasured possessions, then she would not have captured Anna's mother and aunt. If Anna is unwilling to make the exchange, then her mother and aunt will die but even if Anna is willing to make the exchange, her mother and aunt will still be killed.

Anna's mother and aunt looked at Nick with angry glances, they were completely unfathomable. Now they could only hope, Anna was wary of the man because a full night was near. They couldn't help Anna, they didn't even know if Anna had come back and gotten the knife or not. They hope that Anna has obtained it so that Anna can thwart Mariana's resurrection and kill her son.
