The Werewolf's

04. The Cunning of a Girl

Arumi's day went as usual, leaving for work in the morning and coming in the afternoon, there was nothing special in it.

One day Brama's uncle took his eldest daughter with him to the store, only one year away from Arumi.

Her name is Dara, she is a beautiful girl but her nature is not as beautiful as her face, her speech tends to be rude and she is good at acting like her mother (Rantih), in front of her father she is like a very devoted child, she is very devoted, the girl also helps Arumi do all the work in the store.

Suddenly Uncle Brama's face was pale when he found his money drawer empty, as he remembered all the income of the store today he had not put in his bag.

Today so many customers who came certainly Brama and Arumi was very busy, but found the money lost Brama immediately panicked.

"my money is gone" Brama murmured in frustration.

He's been looking for it here and there, afraid he forgot to put the money, but he remembers it well before going to the warehouse to check the inventory of his money is still in the drawer, in the store only left Arumi and Dara who are busy cleaning up messy merchandise.

"why father?" tanya Dara arrived.

"ahh that, did you see dad's money?" ask Brama.

"money? what money?" ask Dara plain.

"today's sales money, everything is not there" complained Brama.

"maybe you forgot to put it in your bag already?" said it.

"already, father has searched everywhere, father also searched the warehouse, but did not meet" he said while holding his head.

"Aruumiiiii" exclaimed Dara loudly.

"iyyaaaa" Arumi was running a little because she was putting together stuff on the front.

"when you went to the barn and I was away for a while, who was here?" ask Dara.

"hm no one was there, if this afternoon it was rarely a buyer" replied Arumi.

"right? dad's money is gone" he said.

"missing? how come?" ask Arumi in panic.

"that's why I asked you, you were in the store alone who knew there was a thief coming in" said Dara snapped.

"no, there was no one from before" Arumi explained again.

"in that case, how can father's money be lost?" dara's tone was high.

"i don't know, from earlier I was busy on the front, if anyone entered I would have seen it" Arumi assured.

"didn't you steal dad's money?" ambap Dara's.

"uh uh? where possible, I would not dare to steal uncle's money or anyone" said Arumi exasperated.

"then you can explain why your lost money arrived!" snapped Dara.

"already, why are you accusing your brother?" brama was upset.

"i'm not accusing you, but he says no one's here so who knows if he's stealing" Dara mocked.

"why do you think that, I can't steal your money.."

"where has there been a night of ngaku" Dara suddenly ambushed.

"Daraaa enough !! dad doesn't like you accusing people of being reckless, let alone that he's your brother !!" snapped Bramaa.

"my father just asked" defended Dara.

"that's his name accuses" Arumi said slowly.

"isn't it natural, there was only you here, and my money was suddenly gone" Dara sneered.

"already, now you two help find the money, who knows you forgot" said Brama mediate.

Arumi, Dara, and Brama go around looking at every corner of the store, Arumi looking at the front and center of the store, Brama and Dara looking at the cashier table and surrounding areas, but the results are nil.

Then Dara walked towards the back, actually behind the cashier table was just an empty room where Arumi rests at lunchtime.

"hmmm today you will get out of my father's life" said Dara.

Dara runs towards her father with Arumi's bag.

"ayaaahhhh I found it" said Dara.

"where?" brama said enthusiastically.

"is this dad's bag?" dara asked with a plain face.

"i-this is A-Arumi's bag?" brama said in disbelief.

"Arumiii !! so it's true you stole your money?" shout Dara.

"uh uh? no ! it can't be !" adumi denied it.

"but what is this? father's money is in TASMU" Dara said with a pressing tone.

"no-no way, I really don't know anything" Arumi denied.

"chhh basic girl does not know herself, even though my father has been kind to you but you can steal the money" said Dara.

"is that really Arumi, you stole uncle's money?" ask Brama

Arumi shook her head with all her might, she really did not know anything, all day she was busy with her work until late for lunch, and she also never had such bad thoughts.

"no uncle, I really didn't steal it" Arumi explained.

"so the money goes into your bag, it's so good that you don't" Dara mocked again.

"i'm not evasive, but I really don't know" Arumi said in self-defense.

"buehka" .. "brukkk"

Brama's big hand landed on Arumi's small cheek, Arumi until it fell to receive his uncle's slap.

"pamaaan" said Arumi.

"how dare !! I loved you all this time but this is the reply you gave me? how could you steal your own uncle's money?" snapped Brama.

"chh, the poor girl doesn't know herself, but my father has always been kind to you" said Dara back to heat up her father.

"i didn't steal" said Arumi.

The girl cried a mouthful, all this time she was never snapped by anyone especially in the casari, her father always spoke soft words to her, if Arumi made a mistake her father also advised her gently.

"a thief is still a thief" said Dara

Brama whose heart was controlled by anger at that time also pulled Arumi's body, his large body inversely proportional to Arumi's small body was very easy to pull out.

"brukk" Arumi falls in front of the store.

Arumi only cried to receive the treatment of her uncle, the person who had been warm to her today slapped and threw her out, a man who was already like her father today behaved rudely to her.

"go away and never come here again !! I'm not going to admit a thief as my niece anymore !!" snapped Brama.

People come when they hear Brama's leras, they whisper whispering whispering about Arumi, mostly in disbelief but some believe it.

Arumi tried to stand with her legs shaking, her cheeks red revealing slaps from her uncle, after breathing heavily Arumi ventured to look at her uncle.

"i'm not an uncle thief" he said softly.

After that he walked away from his uncle and the crowd of people who were gossiping at him, all the way he cried without a sound.

Arumi's usually cheerful figure was already invisible, along the way she only thought about what happened just now, she hoped that today's incident was a dream, she said, the girl did not want her relationship to be broken with her only relative.

Really na'if was the thought of the girl, she was trying to deny the reality that had just happened.

A few days after Arumi sat on the bank of the river, the river that killed her father two years ago, she stared blankly at the rushing stream in front of her.

"what are you doing here, miss?"

The voice of a man made him flinch in shock.

"heh ! ehh you ... the owner of the big wolf back then?" ask Arumi.

The man nodded and sat down next to Arumi.

"what are you doing here?" ask the man again.

"nothing, just lamenting the fate of hehe" said Arumi cengengesan.

"eat" said the man, offering two apples.

"thank you, you've always been nice to me" Arumi smiled.

The girl ate the apple with occasional glances towards the man beside her, the figure who had treated her duli while in pain.

"may I ask you something?" said Arumi.

"hm what?" answer's short.

"why are you wearing a robe all that time? I guess today was pretty blistering, wasn't it sultry?" ask Arumi marketing.

"eh i-ituu ..."

"already, there is no need to answer if indeed you feel uncomfortable answering it, hehe sorry I was too presumptuous" .. "ohya introduce my name Arumi" said Arumi as she reached out.

"Rangga" he answered briefly without shaking Arumi's hand.

"ehh his name is the same as father's name" inwardly.

Arumi smiled wryly with the behavior of the man beside her, the girl thought it was quite familiar because a few months ago the man had taken care of her when she was sick, but in fact it was just plain Arumi's thought.

"my father used to die in this river" Arumi said.

The girl told about her life, about her mother, her grandmother, her father's death as well as the incident that happened to her a few days ago.

"so your father was a hunter?" ask Rangga.

"hm, he is a great hunter, unfortunately he slipped and died in this river" replied Arumi bitterly.

"can't your father swim?"

"of course you can, but when he fell his head was crushed with a rock"

"ohh so, by the way, I am also a hunter" said Rangga.

"you too? really?" ask Arumi enthusiastically.

Rangga nodded silently, the man just continued to look forward, as Arumi told him that he also remained focused on looking at the swift flow of the river in front of him.

"do you want to try hunting with me?" bargain Rangga.

"what can?" tanyanya doubt.

"come home, prepare your father's hunting equipment, later in the afternoon I will come to you" said Rangga.
