# FYI: to be able to triple up through a fairly heavy process\, so the author please ask the readers to be patient yes. God willing will triple up if all conditions are met... #

George and Matilda were still staring at Aruna from the window sill. They look pity when they see Aruna in pain.

The girl groaned while writhing. The heat and pain that afflicted her had made Aruna almost unable to control herself.

“ We have to do something Dear, Kasian Aruna..,” said Matilda anxiously.

“ Don't do anything now Dear. We'll see where Aruna can survive. It's good for him that he can control himself out there when we're not by his side.” George said as he stared fixedly at Aruna.

In the room Aruna was seen writhing and then fell to her knees on the floor. Then Aruna pressed her chest in such a way as if trying to muffle the pain in her chest. Tears appeared to wet the girl's face a sign that the pain she suffered was extraordinary.

“ Do not be held back Aruna, just leave...,” said Matilda trying to guide Aruna through the pain.

“ Yes Allah.., I'm not strong Aunt. This hurts so much....,” said Aruna while closing her eyes.

A moment later Aruna opened her eyes as she felt the muscles all over her body stretch. This time Aruna could not bear the pain until she screamed and fell unconscious.

“ Aruna...!” call Matilda and rush to Aruna who is lying on the floor.

George took a deep breath and went into the room. He helps Matilda who seems to have trouble moving aruna's body from the floor to the top of the bed after she previously changed her form from wolf to human.

“ I did not expect that Aruna physically turned out to be very weak.

“ She's not weak, she's just not used to it...,” argued Matilda.

“ Yes...,” says George relented while damaging Matilda's hair with affection.

Suddenly Georga and Matilda gasped in shock when they heard the sound of Arka's car pulled over in front of the house.

“ Gimana nih Darling, they have come home..,” said Matilda worriedly.

“ We have to go now...,” said George and changed his form back into a wolf.

Matilda looked at Aruna for a moment and followed George who had come out first through Aruna's room window and waited outside.

While Arka and Diana seemed surprised because Aruna did not also come out to open the gate even though they had sounded the horn many times. When looking at Aruna's room, Arka accidentally saw a shadow of a dog that passed near Aruna's room.

“ Kok no dogs at home Ma..” said arka.

“ Dog fuck Pa. There's no dog noodles around here. Papa was wrong to see kali..,” said Diana.

“ That's yes. Mama wait here so Papa can open the gate. Maybe Aruna has gone to sleep so he did not horn our car..,” said Arka.

“ Ok...,” says Diana fast.

Arka got out of the car and rushed to open the door. After putting the car into the trunk of the house, Arka again saw a large dog that he had seen was now standing across the street. The dog was seen staring fixedly at the house Arka to make it uncomfortable.

“ Why else Pa...?” ask Diana.

“ Gapapa Ma. Let's go in...,” Arka with a smile and hurry to close the door.

Aruna woke up at the dawn of Adhan. Grimacing Aruna tried to get up from her sleep. Arunas

he looks at his entire body, face and hands.

“ Why I was last night, it feels weird. It's hot and it hurts. What is a dream yes..,” muttered Aruna while getting out of bed and then approached the mirror.

In front of the mirror Aruna observed her face and her entire body. After being sure that she was okay, Aruna rushed to the bathroom for ablution and performed the morning prayers.

In the afternoon George and Matilda stopped Aruna who was pedaling her bike when she came home from school.

“ What really happened Auntie ?. Why I felt so sick and hot last night. Where do you guys go, do not bungunin Me or wait for me to siuman.?” aruna asked in a row to make George and Matilda smile.

“ We left because your parents came home Aruna. We can't show up in front of them because it scares them. While what you feel is one of the change processes that you will experience again in the future.” said Matilda.

“ Aunty means, the pain and heat will be repeated again.?.” ask Aruna worriedly.

“ Yes...,” says Matilda fast.

“ But why Aunt...?” ask Aruna.

“ That is what will happen to all the descendants of the Kita Aruna clan. But only selected descendants can feel such great pain, the rest just feel the heat and thirst without any physical changes.

“ Physical changes. What do we do after we change..?” ask Aruna.

“ Werewolves, like me.” said George and then showed his true form to make Aruna

backwards frightened.

George's body that was originally in the form of a wolf was slowly transformed into a handsome, pale-skinned, blonde figure typical of ‘bule’ who had stunned Aruna. But a moment later George's body turned into a half-human half-wolf figure that was more frightening than a real wolf. That was the figure that made Aruna retreat in fear.

“ This is what we are when we change Aruna.” said George as he approached Aruna.

“ Yes... don't come any closer. Just there... Om...,” pinta Aruna while developing her palm in front of George.

“ I don't want to be a rich monster like Auntie.” said Aruna in a quivering voice.

“ But your hand line did choose you to be like We Dear..,” Matilda said while gently rubbing Aruna's back.

“ Can I refuse...?” ask Aruna lirih.

“ Sorry, you can only accept your destiny this is Aruna..,” said Matilda while tidying up Aruna's hair with her flickering fingers.

“ This is the first information we can provide for you Aruna. You don't have to worry, because changes like this won't happen all the time. We change only at certain times.” said George.

“ Only when the full moon is full..,” cut off Aruna who had read the story of the werewolf before because it was driven by curiosity that came out of nowhere.

“ Right. It took you a long time to be able to turn out perfectly like us. And until that time comes, We will continue to watch over you and guide you to be in control of yourself when you change later.”, George said with a smile.

“ Indeed what happens when I change.?” ask Aruna.

“ You can kill the people you love. It happens because of the killing instinct that exists when you are in a half-human half-wolf state of Aruna. Your untrained mind will take you to your will and kill them and suck their blood without you knowing it. When you return to normal conditions, regret and heartache will accompany your life forever.

“ That's why George and I are here to help you navigate that wild passion so you won't regret it later. If you have managed to master it, you can live quietly like an ordinary human in your daily life Aruna Darling.

“ Should I thank you for this.?” asked Aruna with teary eyes.

George and Matilda were silent for a moment then slowly they darted away. They accidentally leave the sculpting Aruna crying to give the girl a chance to understand her destiny.

After satisfied crying, Aruna slowly got up and then pedaled her bike back towards home. In her heart Aruna promises to continue to study with George and Matilda in order to control the killer instinct that dominates her as she transforms into a werewolf later. Aruna did not want Arka and Diana to be injured and become victims of her helplessness.

\=====

Aruna is now in High School. She grew up to be a beautiful and tough girl. Aruna's life is going normally just like a girl her age. Aruna can live her days casually even though she often sees something invisible around her. If that happens, Aruna chose to keep her mouth shut or stay away from the crowd because she did not want to be a bully material like when she was sitting on the Junior High School bench first.

And now Aruna is stepping quickly towards the library while clutching the books tightly in her arms. If observed carefully, it turns out that Aruna is talking to something that continues to follow her from behind.

“ Stop following me. You scare my friend later.” said Aruna half-whispering.

“ I just want to be friends with you Aruna..,” said the invisible creature to make Aruna a little upset.

Aruna took a deep breath and entered the library. He chose to sit in a corner of a room that was rare

occupied by students because it feels moist and cold. Then Aruna started to open the book and write something. Aruna deliberately made the book as a tool to communicate with the subtle-being.

“ Tell me who you are and what you want.” wrote Aruna.

“ My name is Deon. I died in an accident on the road near your school.” said the ghost.

“ Ok, but we can't talk here Deon...” wrote Aruna.

“ Why...?” ask Deon disappointed.

“ I don't want to be labeled crazy for talking to myself. I used to communicate with ghosts like you, too,

and because of that I was branded strange and shunned my friends. I don't want to be rich anymore. If you really want to be my friend and want me to help you, follow my way. If you don't want to, find someone else who can help you.!” write Aruna with an exclamation mark to reinforce the sentence.

“ Well. Where can we talk..?” ask Deon's ghost.

“ Wherever you are in school..” wrote Aruna again and embraced ghost Deon.

At school, Aruna looked hard to start her motorcycle. Suddenly Deon's ghost approaches Aruna and intends to help her. So surprised Aruna said Istighfar while throwing the English dictionary in her hand at the ghost of Deon. Invisible, the dictionary floated in the air until it hit the body of a student who happened to pass near Aruna.

“ Sia*an, why Lo nimpuk I'm using a book. Sane is Lo...?!” asked the male student loudly while staring intently at Aruna.

“ Uh, sorry Brother. Ga on purpose..,” said Aruna did not feel good and then rushed to pick up the dictionary that fell near the student's feet.

“ Ga on purpose, indeed Lo ga squirming I passed..?” ask the student in annoyance.

“ Gaeli Kak, sorry..,” sahut Aruna while cupping both palms in front of the chest.

“ He deliberately threw the book for the attention of Lo Tsar..!” said the voice of a teenage girl who was a classmate of that student.

“ Right Nes. He knows that Kautsar is a popular guy in our school. Besides being handsome, Kautsar is a pinter, a basketball whiz again. It must make all girls interested including this new kid.” Linda said cynically.

“ Uh, but I'm really not on purpose Brother. I also do not know if this brother is popular in school.” said Aruna calmly.

“ Hello..., Lo first-class kids right. It's new but it's drama. All the students at this school know who Kautsar is, Lo ga time. It's a lie anyway..,” said Nessa ferociously.

“ Yes. The reason Lo ga joined the orientation yesterday until he did not know this great senior Lo..,” said Linda while sneering.

Seeing Aruna being scolded by his two classmates makes Kautsar pity. He knew Nessa liked him and always tried to get her attention. Linda is Nessa's loyal friend who supports Nessa to gain the Kautsar's heart.

“ Do not need to be followed. I'm sorry this time. I went home..,” Kautsar said.

“ Yes, thank you Kak..” said Aruna while pushing his motorbike suddenly ngadat it to the school gate.

Kautsar approached his motorbike. But suddenly Nessa and Linda screamed as bird droppings hit their heads. The shocked Kautsar turned his head and laughed seeing the two girls running to the school toilet. While Aruna just smiled because she knew it was the ghost of Deon who did not like to see Aruna hurt by Linda and Nessa earlier.
