Anthony already had his first followers. The young man was named Diva. He will be with her until he finds the right place to build his own kingdom.
"You'll be my follower. We're going to Europe on a big ship in the harbor!"
Diva nodded slowly. His life also belongs to his master.
"Good, Sir. I will go with you anywhere!"
Anthony boarded one of the small boats moored at the edge of the mangrove forest. He only carried valuables and clothes that were only attached to his body.
Before leaving, the Diva makes another boat leak so that no one can leave the island other than them.
From a distance, Anthony heard the roar of the tiger unpretentious to each other. The shadow of Puan's face returned. How his heart was broken because he had to stay away from Puan. Leaving his love for when.

Meanwhile, Puan lost his consciousness as a human being. His hot blood is still bubbling. Anger and sadness almost caused his heart to die.
Dato Beetles did not expect, the change in Puan was very frightening. He can't control it at all. The last hope is Jaka.
That night, Puan preyed on many of the animals he had seen mercilessly. He brought the tiger stealth to hunt. Day and night without stopping.
"The elders have decided. You and Mama should get married soon. The lady's getting wild. I'm afraid he won't return to being human!"
Jaka speechless. She desperately wants to marry Puan but in a human form.
"I will try hard to control it, Dato. If Puan is back to being human then we will just get married!"
Jaka will keep his promise. Although they were betrothed from childhood, Jaka wanted the marriage not to be forced.

Although Puan was still a tiger, he did not forget about Anthony. Every night, Puan sleeps in the cave where Anthony lived. If it was day, he would go to the meadow and spend the day under the tree where they were chatting.
Jaka won't force anything. He turned into a tiger and followed wherever he went.
Jaka takes care of her when Puan falls asleep and accompanies her while in the meadow. Although in the form of a tiger, Jaka can control his mind.
Tiger instincts Puan began to be affected with the presence of Jaka. Slowly his heart broke.
On the third day, Puan returned to being human. He cried all night in the cave where Anthony lived.
By morning, Puan came out of the cave and found Jaka asleep with the form still being a tiger.
He fell silent and looked at Jaka.
It will be the man who will be his companion. Puan sees the shadow of himself on Jaka. A tiger demon!
Jaka woke up when Puan rubbed his head even though it was very soft. He saw that Puan's gaze had changed. Return to be the woman he loves.
"thank you. You want to accompany me even though I'm in the form of a tiger, Jaka!"
Puan continued to rub Jaka's head gently then hugged her with full of warmth.
"I will fulfill my destiny as a tiger man. Stay by my side until I'm gone!" whispered Puan.
Slowly, Jaka returned to being human. My mom's gaze is still the same.
Jaka saw something in Puan's eyes. The shadow of two small tigers was playing in the meadow. Jaka thinks that they are him and Puan. Apparently, the two tiger cubs were their children!
*****
Anthony hasn't really gone far. He always watches over Puan from across the island.
He saw how Puan turned into a tiger. For a moment his human side disappeared. Anthony almost changed his mind and returned to Beetle Island. But his intention was changed when he saw Jaka patiently accompanying Puan.
Three days passed. Anthony knows that Puan has returned to human form. He also knew that Puan and Jaka's marriage would be held tomorrow.
"It's time for me to go, my Lady, may you be happy forever" said Anthony softly as he gazed into the darkness.
On Beetle Island, Puan still heard Anthony's voice even though it was only faint. She decided to keep her memories with Anthony.
"Goodbye, sir. May you find a companion whom you love!"
She took off Anthony's necklace and kept it in the crate with the white dress. She decided not to wear it when she was a bride.
Mum closed the crate tightly. Just like the story of vampires and tiger demons, it's time to end.
