Aruna awoke from her fainting, and the first thing she saw was the woman she saw last night, but the woman had already changed her clothes. She was still wearing the same model outfit, this time in black, still full of lace, and she wasn't wearing her hat anymore. The woman's silver-white hair was hanging down to her waist.
"She's still there...." Aruna, who felt she was still in a dream, covered herself again with a blanket. "Please, God, let her go," Aruna pleaded before beginning to read the prayer.
"I'm not a ghost, Djiwa's," the woman said, grabbing a little of the blanket covering Aruna's face.
As soon as the blanket was opened, Aruna was wide-eyed, in shock, seeing the face of the woman she didn't know was only a few feet away from her, and the louder she read the prayer.
"Djiwa, I've told you I'm not a ghost. You don't have to read those prayers."
The woman moved away from Aruna and brought water for Aruna. "Drink?"
"No thanks," said Aruna, who was still lying down. "Who are you if you are not a ghost?"
"Lynn," Lynn replied, a kind smile on her face."I've heard from Dreyden, if you don't recognize us."
Aruna didn't recognize him; they hadn't even met before, but Lynn went back to talking before he asked.
"Did the war cause you to forget us, Djiwa?"
"War? You mean the war with the Dutch?"
"Incredibly, you can remember that war so clearly, but don't recognize us."
"Stupid, I saw it in a dream!" Aruna said quietly to herself.
"I saw Klaus take you away with a bloodied body, and after that day you disappeared. I didn't expect that after four hundred years of you disappearing, I would finally find you again. Although you don't have that past memory anymore."
"Four hundred years?" Crazy! There's no way you're living that long. You must be a ghost!" Aruna got goosebumps again, even though she had already seen Klaus in her dream, who didn't have a human face anymore, but she still didn't expect the dream to come back to her in a different form.
Aruna opened the quilt covering her body and jumped straight down from the bed as soon as Lynn placed the glass of water on the small table not far from the bed. But Lynn was already standing next to her.
"I told you, I'm not a ghost, Djiwa. Don't be afraid."
"How can I not be afraid? No human being has survived more than four hundred years!"
"There are, but they are not humans like you!" Lynn said it firmly. She still covered the door of the room with his right hand. "There's no need to be afraid of me, Djiwa. "I won't hurt or kill you."
But Aruna, was already very scared, didn't care about all of Lynn's words. Aruna was just about to scream, but her mouth was already covered by Lynn. And her hand was held tightly enough. "Don't shout; Dreyden won't be impatient with my decision to bring you here."
Aruna's eyes flashed with fear. He looked even more frightened.
"If you stop yelling, I will let you go."
Aruna nodded resignedly with her mouth closed, and Lynn gradually let go of Aruna. As soon as she let go, Aruna directly pushed Lynn's body quite strongly, and she jumped back onto the bed and hid in the corner of the bed. Aruna curled up in fear, and her mouth went back, to reading all the prayers she could, hoping Lynn would move away soon and disappear from her presence.
"Don't come close!" Aruna throws Lynn out once she approaches her, and she again hopes that morning will come soon because, if prayer can't drive Lynn out of her presence, then morning probably can because of the myth that says, ghosts will never appear during the day.
"Djiwa listen me..."
"Stop calling me Djiwa! My name is Aruna Santi, and although Djiwa is my last name, I don't want you to call me by that name. In my entire life, I have never been called Djiwa!" shouted Aruna, continuing to argue.
"All right, I'll start now, and I'll call you Aruna," Lynn agreed."But Aruna. I have said, stop praying. Because, I cannot be defeated by your prayers. I'm not a ghost, a genie, or a stealth, as you people in this land believe."
"Then who are you guys? How come you guys can live for four hundred years? No human being can live that long."
"I've said no, we're not humans, and neither are ghosts."
"Then what!" exclaimed Aruna, irritably, angrily, and frustratedly.
"We are werewolf!"
"Werewolf?"
"Yes. What is clear is that we have lived for thousands of years, much longer than your own life."
"Like a genie?"
"Maybe."
"I had a dream," Aruna said after a while. "I saw a woman named Djiwa and a man named Klaus; that woman died during the war."
"Dream? What do you mean by vision?"
Aruna nodded. "Honestly, for the past few days, I've been confused as to why I got that dream three nights in a row."
"You see it all because Djiwa is reborn in you, Aruna."
Aruna laughed so hard as to dispel the fear that still plagued her. "Reincarnation has never existed, Lynn!"
"If we exist, why did reincarnation never have Aruna?" asked Lynn with a laugh. "You are proof of the existence of that reincarnation."
"It doesn't make sense!"
"There are a lot of unreasonable things in this world, Aruna. You Indonesians believe in the existence of Nyi Roro Kidul, don't you?"
Aruna didn't believe it, but she was also curious to know. "Does he exist?"
Lynn nodded. "We've already met him. And how many times has he helped us, including hiding us from you humans?"
"Impossible!"
Lynn again smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible, Aruna. Look at this," she said, pointing out her hands, which were starting to turn a little hairy and blackish and had long, creepy nails right in front of Aruna's face.
"Your hands, their look like Klaus' hands in my dream!"
"This is the hand of the lycan, Aruna. Don't you still believe it if we exist?"
Aruna swallowed, trying to overcome the fear that was still entrenched in her heart.
"If you are a werewolf and the dead woman. I saw in the dream exists, why did you bring me here?"
"Because you are the reincarnation!"
"That's what you guys believe, if I were indeed reincarnation of her, I would have had a flash of memory about him, but I don't have it all, and the face in my dream is also different from mine."
"I know, from the face, you are very different from her, but you have her soul, Aruna. Otherwise, how can you have any memory of it? On the day of Djiwa's death, only Klaus was there. You never met us before, but we came to see you because you are the Djiwa; we know; it was you called us to come back to see you. Bring you back to the world you used to know."
Aruna shook her head; she still didn't want to believe everything she heard, so she secretly pinched herself in an attempt to resuscitate her from the dream. But until her body was bruised, she stayed there, looking at Lynn with her horrible hands.
And Aruna gradually lost consciousness again.
