Droplets of Night Creatures

26. Aruna's Change

As Ahmad said, the school troupe changed the return schedule faster than it should. All the students seemed disappointed but they also tried to understand the decision.

“ Though not satisfied here..” said one of the students.

“ Yes. Just because of Aruna the strange girl, we get the sap.

“ Why else is he. Not at school here, always doing it. Basic girl freak...” grumbled other students while packing her things.

Mika who happened to pass by and heard the words of the students stopped and shouted furiously while shaking her waist.

“ You guys if you do not know why you do not need sotoy yes. It's good there are aruna who tell you that this place is not okay, so we can go home more quickly. Try if Aruna does not tell you the same all teachers, can-can go home from here We just stay the name doang alias dead tau ga. Want Lo rich like that...?!” mika said loudly to the surprise of the students who were gossiping Aruna.

“ Eh girl error, I mean how rich talk that. What I said was real. Because of Lo's strange temen we're coming home early. We should still be able to stay here for another day so we can go home with a fun story. If it is rich gini what you want to be told..,” said the fattened student with ketus.

“ Oh Lo still want here. Yes please. I can say with Mr. Ahmad so that you can go home..,” said Mika.

“ Emang Lo can..?” ask the student cynically.

“ Can. We see how Mr. Ahmad reacts later.” said Mika as he passed.

“ Basic girl so-japan. Spelled out girls but not rich girls, said guys but the body looks like a girl.” hankering a student to make his friends laugh.

But a moment later their laughter stopped because Mika returned by taking Ahmad with her.

“ Those who ask to postpone the return of Kita Pak.” Mika said while pointing at the students who refused to go home.

“ You sure you still want here..?” ask Ahmad.

“ Sure dong Sir. Why the hell is the reason until we have to go home this afternoon, sir.?” ask the tambun.

“ Pake pretend all Lo, this is because of the Aruna..,” between one of the students who are accepted by other students.

“ You are right. We go home because Aruna met the ghost of the river who said he wanted to stop by tonight and invite us to his house. If we stay here tonight, it means we have to welcome the ghost with open arms. How, are you guys ready..?” ahmad asked with a serious mimic to surprise the students.

“ Well if it is meningan We go home now only sir..,” said the students were mutually unpretentious

“ Why ?. Not that you want to enjoy the same rich experience Aruna..?” ask Ahmad.

“ Ga want Sir..!” the students said along with panicked faces.

“ Ok. So you quickly pack up and get on the bus according to your seat number.!” ahmad said with a laugh.

“ Ready Sir..!” sahut the students then rushed to the bus accompanied by the gaze of Ahmad and Mika.

“ Thank you sir because you want to clean the name Aruna..,” said Mika politely.

“ Both Mika. Now you also get into the bus yes..” said ahmad with a smile.

“ Well Sir...,” said Mika then rushed back to the bus where Aruna, Sheila and Noni were sitting.

After returning to the house Aruna also told his experience to ummi Syarifah.

“ So you met who on that river..?” tanya ummi Sharifah's.

“ I met a grandmother who was looking for Ummi fish. When I saw him he seemed confused because the fish he caught was a little while the day was already before the Maghrib. Because of the kasian I helped him nangkepin fish that happened to mill around on my leg deck..,” said Aruna.

“ What's grandma that story something..?” tanya ummi Sharifah's.

“ Mmm.., he just said he had to sell his fish to the market. The plan is that the money from the sale of fish will be bought with beef. He said his son was tired of eating fish and wanted to eat Ummi satay..,” said Aruna.

“ So yes, did he give you something..?” tanya ummi Sharifah's.

“ Yes Ummi. He gave me five big goldfish. Continue to be the same Mr. teacher told to send to the kitchen so that it can be cooked for dinner side dishes.” said Aruna.

Aruna's reply made the ummi Sharifah smile and then nodded her head. Then he rubbed Aruna's head gently.

“ Thank God, it means he likes you Nak.” said ummi Syarifah with a smile.

“ Who is he Ummi..?” ask Aruna.

“ He's a delicate creature waiting for the river Nak. Usually he dwells in the cave around the river.” sahut ummi Syarifah.

The answer of ummi Syarifah made Aruna surprised and understood and related it to the story of his three friends about the cave they entered yesterday.

Since his encounter with Matilda and George, Aruna's life has become more colorful. Although Matilda and George only appeared occasionally, but Aruna knew that the couple was always around.

Aruna is close to the ummi Sharifah and always tells whatever spiritual experience is experienced. But somehow Aruna is reluctant to tell about her meeting with Matilda and George. Aruna felt that the presence of two different kinds of creatures was still a mystery to him.

But without Aruna knowing, his mouth was always locked and his mind flew somewhere whenever he would tell Matilda and George about the teacher.

“ Not yet Dear. Aruna is too young to know her true self. He will be difficult to tell that and even misunderstand later.” said George.

“ Misunderstand how Darling..?” matilda asked not to understand.

“ He will think that We are the same as the subtle creatures he often encounters, but We are clearly different. When puberty he will experience changes like Kita little by little. Our job is just to keep him safe when he changes and directs him to make it go wrong.

“ Aruna will change on this full moon next darling.?” matilda asked impatiently.

“ Yes...,” says George quickly while smiling meaningfully.

“ I can't wait for that day. All this time we were only guarding the boys from the descendants of our clan. But this time keeping the figure of a beautiful girl who also has super natural abilities is something special for me.” said Matilda with a smile.

“ What is the difference anyway, they are the same darling.” said George.

“ Of course different dong Darling. The girl is sweet and funny. Especially when they wear clothes that are various shapes and colors complete with accessories. Wuihh..., it makes me very happy...” said Matilda enthusiastically.

“ So remember to your youth first yes..” said George smile.

“ Yes...,” says Matilda shyly.

“ You are indeed beautiful Matilda. From the past until now, in my eyes you have always been beautiful..,” praise George while rubbing his wolf body into Matilda's body.

“ Thanks Darling. But because of my beauty that made me fall asleep with Dani's seduction. And because of him I can't have a Son..,” said Matilda grudgingly.

“ Don't mention that name again Matilda, I don't like it..!” sahut George riled.

“ I'm sorry George, sorry..” said Matilda while hugging her husband who is now a wolf.

“ Forget everything, We should be happy now. He's already received his karma right..?” asked George softly who was greeted by a nod of Matilda's head.

For a moment the two dissolved in a blue atmosphere. But they refocused on watching Aruna when they saw the girl coming out of the house. It was Diana who was advising Aruna who pushed her favorite bike out of the house. While Aruna looks mangosteen listening to the advice of the mother. It made Matilda and George laugh because Aruna looked cute and adorable at that time.

“ Ready Mama. I have not yet said it, if I have already left yes..,” said Aruna with a funny mimic.

“ Ck, You are just as rich as your Papa. If Mama again talking seriously must immediately unplug..,” said Diana while clucking.

“ Is Not Mama. I'm late, not good with my friend.” said Aruna.

“ yes, be careful on the road..,” Diana said with a wry smile.

“ Thanks Ma, Assalamualaikum..,” said Aruna then pedaled his bike quickly.

“ Wa alaikumsalam..,” said Diana while staring at the departure of Aruna and shook her head.

While George and Matilda also darted quickly towards the departure of Aruna without Diana's knowledge.

\=====

That night the sky was brightly decorated with stars and a golden full moon. Look beautiful and

tranquilize.

Arka is seen driving the car leaving the house with Diana beside her. While Aruna stayed at home because she had to do schoolwork.

“ We did not long, briefly also go home.” said Diana when she saw Aruna close the gate.

“ Promise yes Ma, ga long-time..,” sahut Aruna with annoyed mimic.

“ Insha Allah. Where is the condition all night. At most one hour...,” said Diana.

“ Kalo ntar Papa same Mama meet old friends must be old too will finally..,” said Aruna.

“ Oh, if that's the exception.” said Diana with a smile.

“ Mama...,” whine Aruna to make Arka laugh.

“ Yes Yes. I did the PR work there. Assalamualaikum..,” says Arka and Diana together.

“ Yes, wa alaikumsalam..,” sahut Aruna Iirih then rushed into the house.

In her room, Aruna looked agitated. Sometimes Aruna pacing back and forth while holding her nape. There was a great thirst as well as pain all over his body. When he accidentally turned towards the mirror Aruna was surprised not kepalang.

Slowly Aruna approached the mirror to make sure that the reflection in the mirror was not her. Aruna saw

his face is different. There were fine hairs growing up filled his face up to the neck. Aruna also saw the strange shape of her head. From between her lips Aruna saw fangs poking out. Aruna opened her mouth to look at her teeth. How surprised Aruna when she saw all the teeth in her mouth now in the form of sharp teeth pointy like wild animals.

Aruna screamed stifled while retreating a few steps back. Aruna's screams were heard by George and

Matilda was always not far from him. The two soon come to Aruna. They were seen watching Aruna on the suddenly opened window sill with a sharp and hopeful look.
