Two days had passed from the time of Darto's departure to his village. This afternoon, Darto had just set foot in the village after two nights he continued to walk alone. He immediately stopped at his house just to pack all the goods he had originally brought, then continued to go to Anto's house with all his luggage.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" Shouted Darto while knocking softly on the door of Anto's house.

Hearing Darto's cry, Anto immediately ran towards the front room of his room. He seemed to be in a hurry after hearing a voice he had been thinking about for months, until he finally arrived and managed to open the door of his house.

"Alhamdulillah!!!" yelled Anto after seeing someone standing at the door of his house is his best friend who has been missing for months. He immediately grabbed Darto and sobbed in his arms right then and there.

"Where have you been, Dar? I guess you.." said Anto stalled because the two felt the word dead was not worth saying.

"Already, Tok, I'm fine. How are you and Sri?" said Darto answered half Anto's statement, while looking at his friend's heart.

"Alhamdulillah, Dar. We are all fine, Sri is also big stomach," Anto replied as he pulled Darto into his house.

After Darto entered, Sri immediately joined the long conversation between Anto and Darto. Darto recounted all the events he experienced to his childhood friend. Darto only stopped telling stories when I heard the Adhan, and resumed the whole story after finishing his worship.

The day passed so quickly, the night was back to say hello. After breaking his fast with Anto and his family, Darto opened his voice in the middle of the gathering. "Oh sir, can I take Anto with Sri to the boarding school?"

Both of Anto's parents were so shocked to hear Darto's remarks. They seemed unhappy with whatever Darto said, even Mr. Anto immediately rejected Darto's words with the words, "Don't joke you, Dar!"

Hearing his Father's words, Anto could only be bowed. He could not argue at all because Anto was a very obedient child from when he was little.

"I mean this, sir. Anto and Sri are safer there, plus there is also a big city, sir. Sri can find all the needs easily, can also give birth in the hospital. Cost business let me take care of it later," said Darto trying to seduce.

"When do you want?" ask Anto's mother a little bit. He also seemed to dislike that the grandchildren they were waiting for would not be born in their homes.

"At least until Sri is healthy after giving birth. Later I promise to take him here again," continued Darto as he stared intently at the two parents Anto.

"What's the matter, Dar? You are the same as the Mbah you are too afraid as well!" ketus mr. Anto with a furious face.

"I just want Sri to be safe, sir. No more," replied Darto a little moody after hearing the words thrown by Anto's parents just now.

"Congratulations from what? A ghost? You look just like your Mbah! The falling fruit does not fall from the tree. I don't believe it, Dar is the same!" ketus Mr. Anto increasingly raised the voice.

'This I got when I was born, sir," said Darto, pointing to a scar on his chest, then moving his index finger towards the scar on his abdomen and saying, "If this one I got yesterday when the village salvation. I got these two wounds from the woman who killed my mother. Now that the savage woman is targeting the wife of the father's son, I have to bring Anto and Sri even though the Father does not agree. It's all for the good of your son and grandson."

Both of Anto's parents were stunned to see the wounds lodged on Darto's body. They relaxed their emotions a little, although they did not fully believe the words that Darto had uttered.

"Tock... Please take the paper," continued Darto after seeing both parents Anto silenced. He intended to show something that might change the decision of the two people in front of him.

Hearing Darto's request. Anto rushed into the next room, then returned with a blank piece of paper in his hand. He did whatever Darto asked without hesitation, even though he did not know what Darto would do with the paper.

"This, Dar. What are you really doing, Dar?" anto said while offering blank paper to Darto.

"Sir, Buk, Sri, Tok, you have to believe that we live next to other creatures besides humans. I will prove it right now" said Darto then sitting cross-legged on a pandan mat, while putting paper right in front of him.

In silence, all the families and Anto pay attention to what Darto will do. They did not realize that Darto had called Grandma stone dwellers in his bag. After the Grandma came out, Darto immediately told Grandma to move the paper tang in front of him.

"Can you see, sir? A buk? In front of me now there is a grandmother who was originally told to monitor Sri on the orders of the person who killed my mother," said Darto while looking at Anto's family who were confused to see the paper that was floating in front of them.

"There's a trick at most, Dar! How can demons hurt people?" answered Mr. Anto still doubtful.

Hearing that, Darto immediately created energy in his hand, then he threw it towards the paper, until the paper that was originally floating now scorched in the blink of an eye.

"Still not believing?" said Darto slightly raised the tone, while throwing energy in all directions towards the zinc glass that he and the Anto family had worn earlier.

All of a sudden, everything fell off the table. From empty glasses, plates, until the jug of pliers arranged on it completely broke because Darto attacked the object blindly.

"Don't hurt, killing humans is like killing ants if you meet a demon that has eaten a lot of souls," continued Darto again then tidying up the chaos he created.

"As for Father and Mother, I've tried to convince you. If anything happens with Sri or your grandchildren, it is entirely your fault" said Darto then rushed to leave Anto's house, carrying all his luggage, at that time.

"Dar! Darto! Yes, Dar! We believe!" yelled Mr. Anto stopped Darto's footsteps, then pulled Darto into his house back to negotiate.
