7 Virgin Blood
Trapped in a Strange Situation

"This. Please drink the sweet tea," came Luna's voice in the room next door as I came out of the room I was in with the help of a stick Luna lent. It's his little guy's wand who's had a leg injury from falling off a tall coconut tree.

Because the room I occupied was only blocked by the wall with the next room, Luna's voice could be clearly heard by me as I exited the room.

"Thank you" one voice said.

I seem to know that voice. Like the voice of the girl who fought with Oom Jaka yesterday. A girl named Mentari.

Again, out of curiosity I could never control, I peered into the next room. Right, there's a Mentari there. The girl was moping, while Luna sat down in front of her. For some time, none of them opened their mouths to speak. Finally Luna broke the silence in that simple, neat space. "I know your heart is still shaking. It is not easy to face events like this because it is far to the deepest part of your heart. But know, what you have done is the right action. That young man you should stay away from. You should even leave before the calamity befalls you even further. I'll help you if anything happens."

"Thank you, Luna. You are very kind. But what if Kang Jaka takes revenge on me and does something to me?"

Luna smiled with concern. He held Mentari's arm and he said, "You don't have to worry. I'll meet Kang Jaka myself."

"What are you going to do, Lun? What do you want to tell him?"

The beautiful luna smiled. "You don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid. Leave everything to me. I'll definitely finish it for your own good. I'll talk to Kang Jaka to no longer bother you. Don't expect him to leave this area if he dares to hurt you."

"Thank you, Luna. Thank you very much."

Luna briefly hugged the girl before her and rubbed her back. "I'm going to his house right now. You stay right here. Don't go anywhere. You can stay in my room until I get back."

"Thank you, Lun. I feel safe here."

"Before I leave, there's one more thing I need to tell you. If I don't tell you, it's gonna be a bad wedge."

"Then it's okay, just say it, Lun. What do you want to tell me?" ask Mentari expectantly.

"According to your story, you left Kang Jaka to go with Kang Aji, ride a motorcycle together and you hugged her waist."

Mentari justifies while nodding his head.

"In that way, you intend to just avenge your heartache on Kang Jaka. It might also be about to say that not only is Kang Jaka a handsome man who exists in this world. But you forgot one thing. Whether you realize it or not, you seem to give Kang Aji hope."

Mentari.

"Maybe I guessed wrong. But as far as I'm concerned, before Kang Jaka showed up in Rancabali, you once showed an attitude and an interest in Kang Aji. Your attitude changed the moment Kang Jaka came."

Mentari's face was red. The girl tried to laugh. "Lun, you asked me to forget that guy. I've done it. Regarding Kang Aji, hasn't he also been lured to that girl named Puspa Sari?"

"That was. What if he knew and believed what Kang Jaka had done with the girl named Puspa Sari? He'll be disappointed, maybe angry, maybe hurt, and maybe he'll direct his choice to you."

Bowing in shame, Mentari said, "To be honest I didn't think I'd get there, Lun. I wasn't...."

"Pray the best. I'll go first."

Ah, goddamn. With a sprained leg and this stick I can't run fast. Rather than get caught, I was forced to stand there and pretend to be waiting for Luna to come out of the room.

"Sity?"

I smile. Pretending to be calm despite a slightly restless heart. "Hi, sorry to startle you. I was deliberately waiting for you to finish chatting. Emm. I want to take a shower. Can I borrow your clothes?"

"Oh, okay. Alright. Let me get you. You wait here."

I nodded and decided to go back and wait in the room.

It didn't take long, Luna had returned and brought me a full change of clothes.

"You can take a shower in the back bathroom, there's a towel inside, behind the door. And, yeah, I'd like to go out for a minute. I'll hurry back and bring you some food. It's okay, right? I won't be long."

I'm nodding. "Of course."

"I know."

"Dia akan di sini selama aku pergi."

"Em."

"alright. Then I'll go first, yeah. It's fine here. Be careful with your ankles."

Luna smiled and left the place. Not long after Luna left, I rushed to the bathroom. Enjoying the fresh cold water flushed my body. Using scented shampoo and soap. And, tolerably, I can forget for a moment all the chaos that really is not my business. All I had to do was heal my leg wounds, take my things, and escape from this rural area.

After finishing my bath and changing into new clothes, I came out of the bathroom.

A wenny?

A girl stood straight in front of the door of Luna's room with an angry look, making me go back in and hide in the bathroom.

Wenny can't see me. No one who knows me knows where I am. Otherwise, Oom Jaka could know where I am. Who knows yesterday he knew that I was the one who peeked at the hot scene he was doing with Love in his house.

"Wenny...?" Mentari mentioned the girl's name.

I opened the bathroom door and peeked. The mentari was out of that room. Stand face to face with Wenny.

"You remember my name."

"Of course, Wen."

"Do you know who I am too?"

"You mean?" ask Mentari. "Obviously I know. We've known each other since we were kids."

"Your answer is not wrong, but that's not what I mean, Dance," Wenny said with a smile.

Cynical smile? What does Wenny mean? my inner.

"I don't understand what you mean" said Mentari.

"Is that?"

"Yes, I-I"

"Look good, Dance. Last week Aji and I were in a relationship. We are now dating. Now you understand what I'm coming for?"

Ughhhh! A misunderstanding!

Mentari nodded her head but still seemed to wonder what Wenny meant by all his questions and words, or not. I don't know. If I clearly understand. Understand one hundred percent.

"I'm sorry, Wenny, but I...."

"I am not blind, and I am not deaf. What you've done is clearly visible to me!"

"What have I done?" The mentor asked astonished.

"You forgot what I said? I'm Aji's girlfriend. Let no other woman dare approach her, including you! Street girl*!

Geez, do I have to break them up, or stay hidden? But if I let it. it could run out in Wenny's hands, or vice versa.

How'this?
