In his reaction towards the prohibition for children under 15 to stay at home before 7 at the evening, Alva tries to discover the reason behind this prohibition. He does not believe in what other children believe that there is a supernatural power represented by Delman Merah Jambu (pink horse cart) rode by a beautiful lady in white clothes.
