I saw a beautiful hut in the middle of the jungle. At the front stretched a lush green lawn, while behind it lay a sparkling pond. The hut glowed softly in the moonlight—it looked so unreal, so breathtaking, that I had never seen anything like it before.
As I walked to the door, I knocked gently. No one answered. I sighed, about to leave, when a voice whispered behind me.
Voice: “They waited for you so many years, and you can’t wait for a minute?”
I froze. That voice… I knew it. My eyes filled with tears.
Mia: “H-Hi, GGM.”
Great Grandmother: “Hi, honey.”
I threw my arms around her, clinging tightly.
Mia: “How is this possible? You’re dead. I was there. I saw you… and I couldn’t protect you.”
GGM: “It was my time, honey. No one could have saved me.”
Mia: “But…”
GGM: “You can’t have what you lost, but you can have what’s waiting for you.”
Mia: “I just want to say I’m sorry.”
GGM: “I know, and I love you. But you must listen to me very carefully. I don’t have much time.”
Mia: “Are you leaving me again? Please… don’t go.”
GGM: “I have to. But you must do one thing for me.”
Mia: “What?”
GGM: “Don’t trust anyone too easily, Mia. Be careful whom you let close… and give him a chance.”
Mia: “Him?”
GGM: “He may be a monster, but every beauty needs a beast. Not because he’s strong or because he protects her, but because he loves her—without conditions. His love is selflessly selfish.”
Mia: “Just like Great Grandpa?”
GGM: “A billion times more than him.”
Mia: “Please come back. He misses you… we all do.”
GGM: “I miss you all too, honey. But remember this—just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I am always with you. Give your life a chance. Give yourself a chance, give reese a chance and tell her to forgive me.”
Mia: “I love you.”
GGM: “I love you too. And… happy birthday, honey.”
Her voice faded. A beep beep sound rang in the air. My great-grandmother shimmered and disappeared, and I jolted awake.
I was in my bedroom. But I clearly remembered being in the lobby before I fell asleep.
Walking to the window, I looked out at the moon—it was glowing brilliantly tonight. The Strawberry Moon.
And then I saw it.
A magnificent black wolf stood on the road. Its eyes—blue, piercing, familiar. They reminded me of him. My heart skipped a beat. What was happening to me? This silly crush… when would it end?
“Happy Birthday!”
Everyone shouted together, startling me.
Mia: “You scared me!”
Mom: “We thought you were asleep. But Rebecca saw your light was on.”
Rebecca: “So we came to check—and here you are, wide awake.”
