.........A ghost holding a black umbrella appears on rainy days. And it..will bring disaster to those who encounter it....

....That is the legend that has been told for a long time about a rural village called..Comet Village.........

It's raining again today. It's too bad. Mom keeps reminding me not to go out on rainy days. because you will meet the black umbrella ghost But I've been out on rainy days many times and never encountered anything. Plus I still have to go to work. Because my mother is lying sick like this. Can't work The duty of working to earn money therefore falls to me.

The doctor said that my mother had a disease that was difficult to cure. It takes a long time to see the symptoms continue. In addition, the cost of medicine is also expensive. And like this, you won't let me go out to work again? I'm dead! It's three o'clock in the afternoon. I have to hurry off to work. First of all, I have to tell my mother first....

The bedroom where Mom sleeps is only one room next to the room where I'm sitting here complaining. That's it..Mom is lying on the bed. But I feel like I'm asleep. If it woke up, it wouldn't be good. But it can't go without saying. When I wake up, I'll probably be worried again. So..let's write a note and put it on the nightstand. Okay! Pen ready

So let's start writing....

Mom, I'm going to work.

And I'll be back at 5 p.m.

You don't have to get up and make dinner.

I'll buy it on the way back.

And don't blame me for leaving the house when it was raining.

Because I have to go to work

-Fen-

Sigh! If it's raining like this, you probably have to take out your umbrella. But..the umbrellas at my house are in very good condition. ...It's so good that I don't want to use it at all. The nails are patched, the stitches are all over the place, and there are holes. On a fine day, rainwater drops down to greet the bridge of the nose... But I can't use it. Well, there is only an umbrella like this. But where do we put the umbrella? oh!

It's in the place where the umbrella is inserted in front of the house. That's it. It's just there. Oh! Pick it up and leave the house.....

The weather on rainy days is really gloomy. It was as if someone was crying in the sky and the tears were falling down below. I don't know why..this weather always makes me feel sad. But now there's no time. I have to hurry to work. .....But..it feels darker. There's a shadow of something..behind me!

I looked back. And then I saw a long-haired man wearing a red raincoat standing behind me with a black umbrella. The first time I saw him I thought he was a black ghost. But my behavior must be crazy. What cataclysmic ghost has such a crazy face and such an easy deception? Plus he's wearing a red raincoat even though he's holding a black umbrella. ....The crow clearly picked up a chili pepper.... I cursed him in my heart. But he smiled at me.

Plus he gave me an umbrella. And do you think I would trust a stranger with a strange behavior like this....no way. He must have noticed my thoughts from my expression. He smiled and then said to me....

“This umbrella.. take it.” When I heard it, I stood confused. I didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, he handed me an umbrella. And it was like he read my thoughts. Because he went on to say.... “Nothing. I saw that your umbrella was very tacky. I feel sorry for you. I'd rather take this." He held out the umbrella in front of my face. And listen to what it says: Wow! The face and the words are different things.

So will I accept it well? If I pick it up, it gets wet....

“Take it, I still have this raincoat.” ...What is this? It's like he can read my thoughts again. So..no matter how much effort you made to offer. I'll take it one by one. I stretched out my hand and picked up that black umbrella....

“What is your name?” I asked. He looked at me confused. Then it changed to a smile....

“My name is Umbel.”

“Umbel? My name is Fen. I'll definitely take the umbrella back. You took this Pupa and used it first.”

“You don't have to return it. I have a lot at home.”

“Oh! How can you? Umbrellas are so expensive. Do you want me to give it to you for free?....” At this point I glanced at the watch on Umbel's left wrist...three to ten minutes....dead.... I hurriedly stuffed the umbrella into Umbel's hand....

“I will definitely return it. But now I don't have time to argue with you. I have to hurry, bye!” I immediately turned and ran in the opposite direction. he calls out to me But I don't have time anymore....

The part-time job I'm doing right now is a part-time job at a flower shop called 'Green' in the village. Do it two hours a day. That is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The owner of the shop, a friend of my mother's age, was a kind-hearted person. But he is also a strict person. I'm ten minutes late like this. I don't know if my salary will be reduced or not....

"hello! Sorry I'm late!” I said as I pushed open the door and entered the store. The owner's uncle and his wife turned to look.

"Ten minutes late. What do you say?"

"yes! I'm really sorry." I bowed my head apologetically. I stayed in that position for a long time until my aunt and uncle's wife said to me....

"Come on, it's okay."

“Consider this the first time I will compromise. But next time I will deduct money.”

“So you...why did you threaten Fen..” Auntie said and turned to me. "Don't worry about it, here...." She handed me a bouquet of tulips. “Please take this to the postman's house. Let's leave the umbrella here and put on a raincoat instead. So I can ride my bicycle.” She handed me a blue raincoat.

I put the umbrella down on the shop counter. Get a raincoat and put it on first. Then he took the tulip bouquet and held it in his hand. Then walked out of the store....

Green's bicycles are normally parked in front of the shop's door. It's the same today. I got on top of that blue bicycle. The left hand holds the handlebar. His right hand held a bouquet of tulips. And then I began to exert energy on my bicycle, heading straight ahead....

This area is the village's shopping area. Therefore, there will be many shops everywhere. including restaurants, taverns, shops, or inns Once released from there, it will begin to be a farm or garden for farmers. During this time, people will gradually start to thin out. Especially in the evening like this. When leaving the agricultural area

By this time, both sides of the road had turned into forests. There are hardly any people during this time as it is the entrance to the deepest part of the village where the village chief and postman's house are located....

I keep cycling along this road. That's it! As you can see, the house on my right is made of orange bricks and looks strong. It is the village chief's house. As for the house on my left, it's a small house made of wood. It's the postman's house....

I rode my bike and stopped in front of that brown wooden house. Climb off the bike Then he walked up the wooden stairs to the balcony of the house. The door of this house was a large dark brown wooden door. I knocked on that door twice. But what I received in response was silence... I keep knocking on the door.

But no one has come out to open it yet. There seems to be no one around.... I thought of this so I walked back down from the balcony, intending to go back to the shop. But while I was walking to get on the bicycle, The door of the house swung open. At the door stood Mr. Postman, his face tense, his mouth open and gasping, his hair wet, and..

Wear only one towel. He looked like he was taking a shower when I knocked on his door. So I had to step off the bike and go up onto the balcony again....

“What's wrong, Fen?”

“Tulips as ordered from Green Shop,” I handed over the bouquet of tulips. He took the bouquet of tulips from me as I reached into my raincoat and pulled out a piece of paper to sign in and handed it to him along with a pen. He took it and signed it.

“It's raining. Do you want to go sit inside first...?” he asked, looking up and smiling at me. Mr. Postman is a strict but kind person. He must have seen that I was riding a wet bicycle so he would let me sit and rest first, but...

“It's okay. Just now I'm bothering you a lot. (That makes you come out in this condition.) Besides, I still want to go back to work at the shop.”

"So? What a pity. Come on... how much?"

“Twenty-five rings, sir.”

“Ah..then please wait a moment.” Mr. Postman walked back into the house. After a while, he came out again with twenty-five rings. Then hand it to me..

"Here, twenty-five rings. Thank you very much." I took the money and bowed down to thank him....

"yes! Thank you very much for your service.” With that, I walked down from the balcony and got on my bicycle and rode away. Return to the shop.....

The forest parallel to this road is a mix of coniferous and deciduous forests. Looking at it makes you feel really cool. Huh! Who is that person over there? Wear a red raincoat (eh? Looks familiar) holding a pale blue Taputapa umbrella (Hey! That's it..) Umbel! I braked the bike immediately. But it happened that there was water in that area. Those waters splashed all over that guy's face....

"open..! Sorry, I..I didn't..” I quickly climbed off the bike. But the doctor didn't say anything. Plus smile at me…..

“It's okay. I know you didn't mean to. But..my umbrella?”

“Ah..your umbrella..sorry. Well, I left it at the store...uh. The shop where I work I'll get it back right away."

“No, no, I'm not going to take it back. Just asking if it's still good.”

“Oh, of course. And even though you didn't come to reclaim it. But I will definitely return it to you. Ah yes..your face is wet. Here...” I reached into my undershirt. He took out a purple handkerchief (borrowed by my mother) to wipe his face.... "I'll wipe it myself, it's okay," he said.

Then he took the handkerchief from my hand. Too bad, I accidentally talked a bit. I have to hurry back.....I immediately ran back to the bike....

“I have to hurry back to the store. You can bring that handkerchief back another day!”

While cycling, I kept thinking about mother, about the rain, about the village, about the umbrella, about Umbel.....it's true. So how did that guy get here? And I still don't know where that guy's residence is. If so, how do you get the umbrella back? And most importantly....

'Who is that guy?!'

I have been living in this village for fifteen years and I have never seen that man's face before. Then....who is that guy? I turned around and looked at the direction the doctor was standing in just now. But I forgot that I had already cycled all the way to the agricultural area. So I turned back to cycling and continued thinking about things. Before I knew it, I was back in front of Green's shop....

After that, I was always distracted. I can't remember what I did. I realized this again when the seller at the boxed lunch shop asked me what I wanted. So today I bought a box of fried shrimp on rice for myself. And another box of rice topped with boiled vegetables for Mom. Mother likes to eat boiled vegetables and it's good for sick people too....

His left hand holds a bag of packed lunches. His right hand holds an umbrella over his head. I kept walking and looking at the floor. I looked at the circular water waves created by the impact of rainwater and the puddles on the floor. I looked and walked. In the end, I kicked the water with all my might. I don't know why I kicked. All I know is that I have caused trouble for the villagers again. Because there is a sound....

“Oh!” I looked up and looked at the owner of the voice… Umbel again! What's wrong with this guy? He suddenly submerged, suddenly appeared, but now I have to apologize first....

“Sorry, I predicted it was wet again.” I bent down to check the hem of Umbel's raincoat to see if it was really wet. But that doctor backed away and said to me....

“It's okay. This raincoat doesn't absorb water. And then I put on the boots.”

“Right… that's right, let's give it back to you,” I said, handing the black umbrella in my hand to Umbel. But Umbel doesn't accept it....

“I told you not to give it back. Now, if you're afraid of me losing too much, I want...this umbrella of yours instead.”

“This Pupa. I'll take it and do it...."

“I told you, I have a lot of houses.” 'House'.. yes, talking about houses...

“Umbel! Where is your house?” I shouted loudly, startling Umbel. But then he smiled and asked back....

“Where is your house?”

“My house..? My house is in a community area. The second one from the left.”

“Are you living with your mother..?”

“Yes, just the two of us with mom.”

“So if you're living with your mother, why do you still have to come out to work?”

“Well, my mother is sick. I can't come out to work, medicine is expensive. If I don't work, where will I get the money? And what the hell are you asking?" I looked at Umbel confused. The doctor didn't answer but instead said something strange....

"You don't see the need to work here..."

“What do you mean by that?” I turned to look and the doctor smiled again..but this time it wasn't the crazy smile that I normally see...

“I can heal your mother.”

“Heal..are you a doctor?”

"nothing"

“Oh my!” I sighed. “Then don't be silly. The disease my mother has is not easily treated.”

“Doctors cannot treat it easily. But I can do it..”

"Mr..."

“I am a ghost who will make every wish of those who hold my umbrella come true.”

.........I was completely stunned. Surprised then shocked But the feeling I have the most is.........

"abundantly! Kakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk” I laughed so hard in that guy's face that he was so confused that his eyes popped open....

"daemon! You're a ghost...” I thought about continuing but stopped. Because in my head I thought of something...this guy...suddenly left, suddenly came, bobbing and popping. I asked for his home address and he wouldn't answer. Plus I have lived in this village for fifteen years. Everyone is close to everyone and has never seen this guy's face before. And this guy.....was holding a black umbrella!

I immediately turned to look at that pillow....

“Who exactly are you...?” The doctor heard the question and smiled strangely....

“And who do you think I am?” I gulped. The answer is already in your head. But will it be true? Plus, what if you say it and get laughed at? But just now, that guy was...a ghost.. If so....

“I..think you're.....a ghost...black umbrella.” I stared intently at that guy's eyes. The doctor looked at me with calm eyes. Before smiling a little... Sigh! Is this wrong?...I lowered my head to look at the ground..but....

“Yes..you guessed correctly.” I immediately turned to look at that doctor. Looks like you don't believe it. But the doctor repeated it.

“I am the Black Ghost.” I was stunned again. Can't say anything Is this true?..but....

“You..said it was a ghost that made wishes come true. It doesn't live up to the legend...?”

“Legend..?” That guy looked at me with extremely innocent eyes. It's like I don't know anything at all....

"What is this? You still don't know about yourself?"

“So, I never knew that my story was a legend.” I sighed heavily. Damn it....

“Come on..let's go find a seat. I'll tell you,” I said, leading Umbel to the park in the middle of the village. There were eight pavilions for people to sit and rest in, in eight directions. Umbel and I walked to the eastern pavilion and sat down. When your butt touches the chair I began to tell....

A long time ago, in this Komet village. There was a young couple who loved each other very much. The couple lived together happily until one day. The man had business to leave for work in the capital, which was further west. On the day the men departed, they made a promise to each other that they would return within one month.

The woman said that after one month had elapsed, she would go out and wait in front of the arch in front of the village every day. Then the man departed. Days and times change A month passed slowly. The woman waited and waited, counting down the day the man would return. Until finally a month had passed.

A new month takes its place. But the woman still followed her promise and went to stand and wait for the man at the booth in front of the village every day, one day, two days, three days... until another month had passed and the man still hadn't returned. But then one rainy day While the woman was going out to stand and wait for the man, she encountered the black umbrella spirit.

The black ghost told the woman that he could make any wish come true. The woman then said that she wanted to meet her lover who had been missing for several months. I want you to help me bring my loved one back to me. The black umbrella ghost accepted the word and disappeared... Three days later The Black Ghost made the woman's wish come true.

By bringing the man back But...the man who came back...was already a corpse. After that, the woman fell ill. As for the black umbrella ghost, it disappeared along with the man's corpse....

“The story is like this..” I thought when the story was finished. As for Umbel, he sat silently thinking about something for a long time. Before saying it again...

“This is the matter..” I was shocked. When you know it's true Not just a legend I didn't ask anything even though many questions were swirling in my head. But Umbel told me that....

“This matter happened fifteen years ago. I had no idea that it would become a story about me in this village.”

“Fifteen years ago...so you can say this is a legend?”

“It looks like that woman probably has a grudge against me. I accidentally think that I killed my lover..it's not. Definitely his husband."

"Look, you listened to what I asked...but wait..your husband..."

“Yes, when I met her she had already given birth. At that time he must have been about a month old. By the way, I'm about the same age as you....." Umbel suddenly stopped talking. He acted as if he remembered something....

“You said you have lived in this village for fifteen years, right?” I nodded. “Just the two of you lived with my mother.” I nodded again. This time the doctor gulped.

“And what is your mother's name...?”

...What does this mean?...

“Funny, don't tell me that the woman in this story is my mother. And that man is my father.” I laughed a little. But that guy didn't laugh. Instead, he made a stressed face and asked again...

“Answer..what is your mother's name...?” I looked at the doctor's face. I know I can't joke with you. So I agreed to answer nicely...

“Alright..My mother's name is…” I didn't finish answering when a loud noise came from the park entrance to the north. behind me It was the voice of two women. And one of those voices was my mother's voice....

“Fen!” Mother's voice was hoarse. It's probably because he's sick. But still sick, he still comes out running in the rain. And that's... the auntie next door. Why did we come together?

“Firia....” Umbel's voice came out. I immediately turned around and looked..Firia..this is my mother's name. My head is spinning now. What exactly is it? And while he was confused Mother ran over and grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Umbel.

"for..! What are you doing to my child?!” Umbel didn't answer, but stood silently. I, too, didn't say anything....

“You..killed my husband. So you're going to kill another one of my children?" Umbel stood silent. Then my mother immediately dragged me out of the park and home....

“Mother told you, right? Don't go out on a rainy day.” My mother scolded me as soon as I got home.

“But I've been out many times and haven't seen anything wrong with it. And Umbel..." I didn't finish. Mother slapped my left cheek with full force....

"Don't ever say that name to me again."

Mom threw me into the bedroom and closed the door. I pushed myself up to walk over and open the door. But it's too late...Mom has already locked the bedroom door and locked me in. Plus now my mother's house key has been snatched away from me. How am I going to get out now?.....but....how did mom know that I was with Umbel in the garden....

“Mom..how did you know I was at the garden...?”

“The auntie next door came to tell me. that I found my child talking with a strange man dressed strangely.”

“Then why did you lock me in here?”

“Calm your mind and then repent for disobeying your mother in that room first. And Mom will come and open it later.” Then I heard Mom's footsteps louder..She was about to leave..I probably had to take out the last stick that was given to me to leave the room and use it....

"mother! There's still food in this room!” Because when Mom threw me into the room, she took only the house key. The rest of the stuff is still with me.

“I'll go buy it myself. Let's just eat what we bought." And then the sound of mother's footsteps gradually faded and disappeared....What? So, even though I pulled out the last stick and used it, it still didn't work....

I've changed now. I walked over to the bed and....

“Oh....!” I cried out loud to relieve my stress and lay down. My head was filled with various thoughts..Is the legendary woman my mother told me about when I was little really my mother? And that legendary man is my father. So Umbel is really...my father? And why..

Just now, Mother suddenly became stronger. You could drag me and throw me into this room. Even though I normally get up and go anywhere, I still can't really do it. Or because Umbel made one of my wishes come true...oh my...! Why are there only things about Umbel swirling in my head.....!

“Umbel!” And then I freaked out and screamed. Then I closed my eyes and took a nap, but....

‘Building!’ There was the sound of footsteps hitting the floor of the room. I opened my eyes immediately. And then I was shocked because.... Umbel's face was right in my face.....

"Hoy...! How did you come in?" I screamed. Whether Mom heard me or not, I don't care anymore...

The doctor looked at me with interest in his eyes. (I wonder if my facial expression right now is really funny) Then he smiled....

"Don't forget, I'm a ghost. It doesn't seem strange at all when I come in." ..Oh..Yes, I forgot that this guy isn't human....

“Then you put your face away. I can't get up.” I said. Umbel, who heard this, widened his eyes as if he understood. before pulling yourself out

"Sorry, I forgot." He said and smiled again. I looked at the guy and remembered what I had in my head just now. I'm starting to get stressed again....

“Did you really kill my father, Umbel?”

My question immediately caused the doctor's expression to fall. But that doctor didn't answer even a single word....

“I don't know if I was born or not. But since I can remember, I haven't had a father. Mother told me that Father had gone to a very distant country. Won't come back again. I've always believed it until today when I found out the truth that my mother... lied to me.." Then suddenly tears flowed from my eye sockets. I quickly wiped it up without Umbel seeing.

That guy still kept his head down and didn't say anything. So I didn't ask again or say anything else. The entire room immediately went silent. And it was quiet like that for a while....

“And if I say it's not, will you believe it?” Umbel asked this sentence with a very pained and sad expression. I was quiet for a while...who would I believe? Between the mother who raised me With the man who is known as the Legendary Demon of Disaster and whom I just met today...but I saw his expression..Umbel definitely wasn't lying to me.. Both facial expressions and eyes

That doctor told me the truth....

“I..believe you.” I looked at the doctor who was looking at me with eyes as if he didn't believe what I had just said. But then the doctor smiled..smiled at me..with the same smile as in the morning. .When I met this doctor for the first time I smiled at that doctor as well. Then he invited the doctor to sit on the bed..sit next to me....

“Who told you this legend?” Umbel asked me once the man was seated. I looked at the doctor before answering briefly.

"mother"

“And has anyone else in the village talked about this?”

"do not have"

"So you don't suspect anything at all?"

“Well..my mother told me it was unfortunate. Do not speak outside the home. We can only tell each other in the house.”

“And you believe it?”

“Then who am I to believe?!” I shouted. Umbel didn't answer, but smiled and laughed a little...Have I become this guy's laughingstock?... .Really..what should I say....

“My mother can now stand up and walk. Because of your magic?” I suddenly changed the subject. which confused the doctor But he answered me.... “Yes, but it's not magic. I just took the disease out of your mother.”

“Um..then let's leave this house tomorrow.”

"go out..?"

“You must be uncomfortable, right? Mother misunderstands you like this?” The doctor nodded. “That's it. I have a plan to make your mother understand you.” The doctor's expression was a little startled. But then he smiled....and then that smile suddenly faded....

"Your father..died because..."

"enough!"

The doctor immediately turned and looked at me suspiciously.

“You don't have to tell me now. It's better for me to know together with mom. And now..." I grabbed it and put it in the lunch box.... “Let's eat.” The doctor smiled at me. But when I saw that I sent a box of rice topped with boiled vegetables, That smile instantly faded....

Last night Umbel and I slept together in my bed. But you don't have to think too much. Because I kicked that guy off the bed twice. That guy just came to tell me this when I woke up. It was still raining outside. The sky is still dark. But anyway, I have to carry out the plan (I just thought of it last night) first.

Umbel and I were now finished getting dressed. So let's go....

“Umbel! Unlock the window.” The reason I had to exit through the window was because it was 8:00 a.m. Mom must be awake. And if I go down there, Mom will definitely see us. (You can't see me, not much. But if you see Umbel...) Now the window lock has been released. I opened it and climbed outside, clinging to the window sill.

But then a voice called my name from beside me and distracted me. His hand fell off the window sill and fell...on top of someone...bad! Who else am I causing trouble to?

"Oh..." The voice of..the voice of the postman. I looked down..beneath me. And it's really true. I was sitting on top of Mr. Postman....I immediately got up. Meanwhile, Umbel just landed softly on the ground. I apologized profusely to Mr. Postman. The postman himself didn't say anything. But then asked me....

“What's the matter, Fen? Suddenly he jumped down.”

"Oh, no.. I mean.. I want to.. test to see if my hands are tough enough to climb down." ..what kind of excuse is that? I didn't listen at all..but he believed me again..and to keep him from coming back to this matter. I must quickly change the subject....

“Uh.. Mr. Postman, are you going to deliver the letter?”

“Um..this is almost all gone. But..who is that?”

“Who..?” I said curiously. The postman didn't answer. But pointing behind me I looked and realized what Mr. Postman was talking about. And then I realized that just now I had completely forgotten about Umbel...

"Well..! This is my friend. His name is Umbel.” He asked like that. What would be a better answer for me? Let's put it like this.

“Hello,” Umbel said, bowing in polite greeting. The postman also smiled politely as well....

“I'll probably have to leave soon. There is still a house left that I have to send a letter to,” Mr. Postman said. I nodded. But when Mr. Postman was about to walk out I realized something. I grabbed his arm. And he turned and looked at me....

“Wait a minute. Sorry, I forgot. I have a favor to ask Mr. Postman.”

The postman looked at me confused. before smiling and asking

“What?”

“Yes, I want you to take my letter and give it to Mom.” This time, the postman looked even more confused....

“Then why don't you just deliver it to me?”

"Well..there's some necessary reason..that makes me unable to deliver myself..." I bowed my head....

“Alright..so..where is that letter?” I immediately looked up when I heard and saw the face of the postman smiling at me....

“Uh..wait a moment..I'll write some...paper..Umbel. Please give me some paper.” I turned to Umbel.

“Here,” the guy took out a piece of paper (plus a pen) from nowhere and handed it to me. I received it and scribbled a message....

Mom, I have something I want to talk to you about.

I know that now she can walk and run.

Because of that

I want my mother to come find me on the mountain behind the village.

I have something I want to explain to mom.

-Fen-

Finished writing, I folded it four times and handed it to the postman. which he took and put in his pocket....

“Thank you very much, Mr. Postman. We have to go now. Goodbye." I bowed goodbye and so did Umbel.

"Um," Mr. Postman smiled at me before walking away..in front of my house....

The mountain behind the village is said to be behind the village chief's house. The way up is to the right of the village chief's house... Umbel warped me and himself to the way up the mountain. Then another warp continued up to the top of the mountain..at the base of the big tree..the one thousand-year-old tree that had stood majestically on the mountaintop since the time the village was built....it was still raining..just like yesterday. ...

As if several days ago had passed....I stood under the thousand-year-old tree thinking about various things. I stood and thought for a long time. Before I came to my senses again when Umbel called out....

“Is this your plan..?” Umbel asked me. I turned to look at that guy....

“Yes,” I answered shortly.

“I don't understand..what the plan is.” The doctor furrowed his brows.

“Well..I'll call Mom here. How about explaining you to mom?”

.... Umbel's eyes widened in utter shock....

"And will he believe it?"

“You must try,” I replied shortly. After that, we fell silent. After a while, Umbel asked again....

"Then why don't we just talk at home?"

“I kept talking at home. Mommy will see your face at home and the house will fall apart and I will get attacked.” And then we fell silent again. But then, finally, there was the sound of people running.. coming from up the mountain. Or if you look at it from our direction, it's the road down the mountain....Now I see it..my mother is standing at the entrance of the mountain path, panting, her eyes staring at me.

But after glancing at Umbel, his expression instantly turned angry....

“Why are you living with him again..?” Mother looked at me with fierce eyes. I don't feel good at all. But no matter what, I have to make my mother understand Umbel...

“Mom..don't be angry..” I tried to convince her. But it seems like Mom won't listen....

“Mother told you, right?!” Mother shouted in a loud voice, extremely angry. "Don't come live with such an unlucky bastard!"

“Umbel isn't unlucky!” I argued loudly to my mother. I know it's not good to argue with your mother. But I don't want my mother to scold Umbel for this misunderstanding....

"You're just saying Umbel," I lowered my voice to normal. “Umbel himself refuses to make any excuses. So there was a misunderstanding.”

"But he killed my child's father."

“That's why I said you misunderstood..Umbel isn't unlucky...Mom. Take a look at yourself.” Mother looked down at herself questioningly.

“What does it have?”

“Mom, can you walk, run, get up and go anywhere by yourself?” Mom acted shocked, as if she had just woken up. “Don't tell me, Mom, I just felt like I could walk around.” Mom didn't answer, so I continued. “Did you know that it was because of this doctor that you got well?” I pointed my thumb over my shoulder at Umbel behind me. “I told this doctor that I wanted you to get well.

This doctor also helped take the disease away from the mother. Make my wish come true As for the story of father......let..let this guy tell it himself."

But the doctor still stood silently. So I walked over to find him. Give him a pat on the back. and whispered, “I have completed my duty. The rest is your duty. Please be brave if you don't want Mom to misunderstand you like this.”

Umbel still stood silent as before. But then he finally nodded. Then walked to my mother....

“I didn't tell you..the truth is probably more like 'never told' because I was afraid..afraid that she wouldn't believe me. But now..because of Fen..her son. It gave me the courage to tell you..that I...wasn't the one who killed your husband as you understand, Firia.”

Mom pretends to argue. But had to be subdued by Umbel's serious tone as he continued to tell the story….

“That day..the day you met me..the day you took my umbrella. She asked that I..bring her husband back....I went out as requested, searching everywhere, in the city, in the mountains, everywhere...until I found him..in the forest that was on the pass. Went to the capital...thinking that he would be robbed by wild robbers. Because all the valuables were gone.

All that was left was the clothes that he wore with him..."

I looked towards my mother. I saw my mother raise her hand to cover her mouth. Tears filled the corners of my eyes....

“I thought that even if I brought her back, she wouldn't be happy. But it's a request..when it's a request I..have to make it come true....” Those were all the words that came out. After that, Umbel was silent. But his eyes continued to stare at his mother, who covered her face with her hands and looked down at the ground. I myself just realized that I was crying.

And now I know that the rain isn't anyone's tears. Because the rain is cold But tears...are warm drops of water distilled from the heart....

“Can I believe you..”

I looked up at my mother. Mother's tears streamed down. But still sending distrustful glances towards Umbel..

“Want proof..” Umbel asked and Mom nodded.

“Do you know why this village is called Comet Village?”

I don't know, but I'm not sure if she knows or not. Because mother didn't show any expression at all. Umbel looked at both my mother and me's reactions and then continued. “This village is the only village that has an annual spirit worship festival. The reason is because every fifteen years there is a comet...a comet that is the source of lost souls passing by.

The festival takes place the day after the comet passes over the village. Because on the day the comet passes by, people without work will stay in their homes. As for those who have work, they hurry to finish their work in order to return home to meet the spirits of loved ones that they only meet once in fifteen years...and today..

It is also the day that a comet will orbit past the village. Ten o'clock in the morning is when the comet will pass by. Now there are only ten minutes left. Hurry, go and ask the truth..from your husband's mouth..." Finished, Umbel smiled. As for Mom, she didn't say anything and ran down the mountain. I too must hurry. Because I also want to see my father.

I took steps and was about to start running, but then the place changed from the base of a thousand-year-old tree on the mountain top to my own house..my mother was in front of me. And Umbel was standing next to me. This guy teleported me, Mom, and himself to my house. But if I run, there's no way I can catch up....I keep thinking. But then I had to be startled.

Because Umbel suddenly touched my shoulder....

“We'll see each other soon. You and father...."

The doctor smiled, I smiled back....

"yes"

Ten minutes finally passed. I look out the window Some blue objects were seen moving closer and closer. That comet...a blue comet....when it finally orbited over the roof of my house, a droplet came out. It's a clear blue mist. And then the figure of a man appeared in front of Mother. But it was a blue figure....I think it was father.

Because my mother hugged me as soon as I saw her. After Mom talked with the figure of the man (who I thought might be the father) for a while and then pointed a stick at me. The blue figure broke away from his mother and walked towards me with a smile on his face....

“Fen

“Yes..”

“It's the first time we've seen each other. When father left for the capital The child is still in the mother's womb."

“This is Dad, Fen.” Mom walked up and said to me. ..Really Dad?..but what should I do? You can't let me hug you. Because to be called a father But they are not connected to each other. Plus I just met him for the first time....

"................" I couldn't say anything. But Dad smiled....

“It's okay. I understand that you probably won't be able to hug me normally. Because even though he said he was the father But this is the first time we've met.” I couldn't say anything. Because Father said everything that touched my heart....

“In any case, take care of yourself.” This was the last sentence my father said to me before I was dragged out of the room by Umbel....

“Let's just leave the two of them alone,” the doctor said to me when he came out of the room....

half an hour later Mother came out of the room. His face looked very happy. But when he saw Umbel, his expression returned to normal, mixed with a slight hint of guilt....

“I know. I misunderstood..sorry..” Mother looked at Umbel, who was not angry at all, but smiled.

“Um...well I understand...now the comet has gone. The spirit is gone. The villagers must have all come outside.”

“Ah...we have to prepare for the festival,” I answered while Mom smiled and said.

“Let's go out and help them prepare.”

.........A ghost holding a black umbrella appears on rainy days. And who received an umbrella from him? He would make that person's wish come true.... That was a new legend that had just arisen recently in Komet Village.........
