"You are so great, I am proud of you" said Isah.

"Thank you Isah, now they don't want to go anywhere, they say, they will prepare something before the ritual goes." Dara said as seriously as possible.

"Ritual," parrot Isah.

"Hmm well Ritual to change me completely, they say I will not turn into a Devil, he said,my soul can at any time take over my body from the Devil.Then from that they also run the ritual to grandma." Dara said with sadness when saying the last word.Dara knew her Grandmother would not be able to survive, because she had run the ritual as they said.

"Well, do they know that you're not a demon now? as they thought." Tanya Isah saw Dara right in both of Dara's eyes.

"I don't think so when they're in the barn they think I'm the same as them." Dara said hesitantly.

"So sooner or later they'll know, you're not a part of them yet.They'll realize that when they can't find your soul in this house like Grandma's soul, Dad, you know,and your mother's locked up in this house." Isah clearly saw Dara worried.

"If so, what should I do Isah?" asked Dara.

"Are you still wearing my gift prayer beads?" ask Isah.

"Yes I am still wearing it around my neck," answered Dara palpating her neck, taking the prayer beads Isah gave her.

In the mind of Isah all raging into one, he also still did not understand further about what would happen, Isah had to find out everything, before it was too late.Tonight Isah will go, he said,find out what the Devils are doing.Fast or later the Devils will know everything,The Devils can do anything they want.Time that Isah has to remove the virgin from this village is approximately 3 days more.That's whatever Isah has to wait for the decision what Dara will take,hopefully Dara will willingly go from this Village without wanting to save the Village or his Family.It will all be free, Dara family may have already done the perfecting ritual,and this village has long been destroyed, after the departure of Dara this village will be known as an uninhabited Village, or a Village that is not known to everyone.But it is all just the estimation of Isah alone,because what will come true depends on what decision Dara took.

"Why are you silent?" asked Dara.

"Ahh no, just thinking about something," replied Isah shaking her head.

"Something what?"

"Hmm Dara tonight I'm going to go, to keep an eye on them.We have to know what they're going to do." Said Isah switching his conversation.

Isah saw if Dara looked at her a little suspiciously mixed with curiosity.But quickly he switched the conversation, so that Dara did not ask continuously, so Isah told Dara.

"Go, are you sure?" said Dara hesitantly.

"Yes I'm sure, tomorrow I'll be back.Take good care of yourself,Those Devils could have hurt you outside of your thinking.Because the Devil is just like the demons are even stronger.During tonight never come out of your room! whatever's gonna happen, and don't ever let go of that tasbih." Speak Isah mewanti-wanti.
