"Stop, stop!" Empu Brajasena instructed.
Magenta screamed in surprise and braked his vehicle abruptly.
The store's red pickup that Magenta drives stops right in front of the alley where Magenta used to drop off the Orange whenever they left together for the city of Serang. His heart was beating with dismay realizing the middle-aged man sitting next to him could find the place.
In addition to taking down the orange, he also once walked into an alley a few blocks away when he drove Violet to his home after escaping from the hospital. That's what makes Magenta nervous.
"The cost's not here" Magenta quickly charged.
"Try to get in there!" Empu Brajasena pointed into the alley, disregarding Magenta's reasoning.
"But—" Magenta hesitated. What am I worried about? thought later. My secret has been revealed!
Magenta's right.
His secret has been revealed and will still be revealed no matter how he tries to keep it secret.
Even if Empu Brajasena doesn't intervene.
Yasa had already revealed his secret the day he visited Violet's house and sat in the living room, where he sat where Magenta had sat before. It didn't take long or a special ritual for Yasa to find out that Magenta had been there.
That was why Yasa suddenly got restless and took Orange hastily away.
Yasa actually got a vision of Magenta.
But he even kept it a secret from the orange. Not wanting to be a romp-mouthed man, Yasa makes a trap strategy so that Magenta opens his own cover in front of Orange.
Isn't that handsome guy with a doll-like face a lot more manly than Magenta?
If Orange knew the truth, would he blame Yasa or even love more?
Body shape and skin color does not guarantee a person as he looks.
With a heavy heart Magenta turned his car into an alley and began to crawl down the alley without intending to tell about Violet's parents' house. His eyes did not even dare to glance at the house as they passed by it to avoid the suspicion of Empu Brajasena.
Magenta doesn't understand. Empu Brajasena never guesses a situation by reading someone's movements. What he does is not like a detective who is good at reading a person's character.
Spiritual science is not like that.
But Magenta was relieved in his heart because until a few blocks had passed after passing through Violet's house, Empu Brajasena did not show an attitude or gaze that could make him palpitate with worry.
But then suddenly Empu Brajasena instructed, "Stop in front!"
Magenta gulps. He looked around while frowning. He did not know that the place Empu Brajasena meant was in front of the house of Bu Lastmi where Jingga had lived all this time.
Magenta stopped his car and turned to and fro to make sure it was parked safely without disturbing other motorists or blocking the gates of other people's houses because the road was narrow while the rows of houses were quite dense.
Empu Brajasena finally ducked and researched a home— that is not wrong again is the home of Bu Lastmi. Shortly afterwards the middle-aged man smiled to see Yasa's car parked in the courtyard of the house.

Orange thrashed and kicked, trying to escape. He tried to roll over, but Violet's legs clamped down on both feet like giant pliers. His hand was also as strong as metal.
His stomach twitched and his lungs felt empty. He could not breathe, he could not speak. His face was almost blue from the claustrophobic.
Violet leaned closer to his face, trying to clench his orange chest behind the torn blouse.
Anger ruled over the orange, but there was nothing he could do. Even the grip of her hand on Violet's wrist gradually weakened and felt numb.
Tears were dripping down the corner of her eyes due to her bubbling anger. The disgust made his stomach cramp.
Terrible, he thought. His passion even applies to same-sex people. Is this what Violet's true nature is?
The orange gaze started to blur while his body started to tremble and slightly convulsed.
I'm gonna die! think Orange is desperate.
As her consciousness began to sink, Violet's grip loosened, then suddenly the girl gasped and pushed back.
N-not-not pushed, but pulled back.
Orang-orang heard the girl scream.
What the hell's going on?
Violet had already completely let go of him by now.
The world around the orange seems to be swirling. Then stop slowly. But his vision was still blurry. He rolled and shuffled away.
Violet was grappling with someone clamping her neck from behind.
Orange tried to pull up his body with trembling knees and stood limp near the path.
Then suddenly someone covered his chest with a coat.
Orange jerks and turns. "Father!"
The middle-aged handsome man simply blinked one eye as he grinned and rushed past him.
A bowed orange looked at the coat and frowned. Not Papa's coat, he thought. Then he turned to the other side and found that Yasa was already standing beside him with Rogan.
The orange stutters between joy and surprise.
All the heroes gathered here, he thought.
Is this a sign that this story is ending?
Orange turned to Violet and saw Magenta's face behind her shoulder. Looks overwhelmed to hold on even longer.
Violet-no, rather the ghost of the scarecrow had already started to bring out its true power. Black tendrils began to spread from between his hair and wrapped around Magenta's body behind him, which was increasingly seen to tighten as Empu Brajasena approached.
Finally I will see how my father will act, thought the curious orange.
The man turned to look at Orange, then looked at Yasa.
"Gan!" Yasa nudged Rogan's arm with his elbow.
Rogan immediately drew closer to Empu Brajasena and held out a bottle of vinegar to the man.
Violet's eyes widened and instantly her tendril slipped away from Magenta. Then screamed and thrashed in the clasp of Magenta's arm that was already seen shaking out of energy.
Especially after seeing Rogan, Magenta looked increasingly tense.
Rogan flashed a sharp look at Magenta, but then helped the guy to hold Violet's body.
Violet raised her feet towards Rogan and thrashed back.
Rogan managed to catch Violet's leg and held her back.
Then together with Magenta they finally managed to knock Violet to the ground and hold her.
Rogan held both of his legs while Magenta held both of his hands.
Empu Brajasena opened the lid of the vinegar bottle and poured the contents into Violet's stomach.
A horrible shriek shrieked from the girl's mouth.
His stomach was fizzing like a fire doused in water and emitting black smoke.
The orange shrieked and smothered his mouth.
"Dear, sit!" Yasa whispered to Orange while dropping himself on the grass near the feet of the Orange and sat cross-legged in front of the girl. "Sit behind me!" yasa's orders once again.
The orange stuttered for a moment before finally obeying Yasa's command. His brain was suddenly in disarray unable to digest the order. His eyes and mouth were still round watching the scene.
