7 Virgin Blood
Logic

After seeing the spectacle in the backyard of the villa, I became restless all day. Even at night, fearing not being able to sleep, I finally decided to take sleeping pills that Aji bought yesterday because he was worried about my condition after the incident that caused Mentari's death. And thankfully there was that medicine so I could sleep soundly and comfortably all night. So that tomorrow morning I can go to the police station to be questioned further by the police, accompanied by Aji.

I can't shy away from the examination as one of the witnesses to Mentari's death, but my answer can't change. I was too afraid of the threats from those people to give the real information. So I still stick with the false testimony I said yesterday: that I don't know who Mentari was fighting with because I was in the bathroom.

Yeah, indeed, my testimony logically did not weigh on Luna's position because I did not mention Luna's name and blamed Luna like Bonita and Yunita for blatantly slandering her. But, by heart, with my testimony that did not ease Luna's position, I felt very guilty. Fortunately, a few minutes later, the cctv evidence from a neighboring house a few meters from Aji's house was obtained by the police. The cctv evidence states that Luna had indeed left Aji's house about a few minutes before Mentari's death. And, at the police station there was also a man named Jaka who witnessed that at the time Mentari was killed, Luna was in an inn, with him. He could confirm that Luna was in the inn for quite a long time. Be with him in their room of order, and it was also accompanied by evidence of cctv recording from the inn. So, Luna who was detained yesterday, now she will be released from detention soon. I'm so relieved.

But on the other hand, a new question now came to my mind: what did Luna and the man do in the inn room? Didn't Luna go to talk to that guy for Mentari's sake? Why did he even get alone with the man in the inn room? What don't-don't...?

Ah, I turned my head, I pushed away those bad thoughts. Whatever. Right or not what I think is up to. That's none of my business. I can't interfere. I can't think of anything else about that guy. In fact, I acted like I didn't recognize the man. And so does he who doesn't seem to know me. When Aji introduced my name as Siti to the man, we just shook hands then I immediately let go. But even so, the man's gaze was very much understood, he recalled our first meeting that day that ended in my bed. That's what's in my brain about his thoughts. And therefore for a moment I could not help but look at him with a glare of hatred.

"Hey, what's wrong with you two?" ask Aji.

I'm shaking. "You still have to be here, right?" I asked to remember that the two men still had to wait for Bonita and Yunita to be questioned for their false testimony. "I have business, so I have to go."

"Where are you going? Let me have company."

"Oh, i...."

"Let me company."

"No need, Kang."

"I'm worried that you're going alone."

"I know, but--"

"Your feet haven't healed yet. My responsibility is not done."

But I have to take this opportunity right now that lewd guy is here. I can go home and get my things and go all the way. It's a good opportunity.

"Sity?"

I quickly nodded rather than continue arguing. "alright. You can drive me."

"Well, so. Don't be so stubborn." He smiled, then turned to his best friend. "You're okay, aren't you, waiting for Luna alone?"

The man shrugged his shoulders. "How else do you want?"

"good. Come on, Siti, let's go."

Restlessly I set foot. We headed to the parking lot and got into Aji's car and left immediately.

I hope Wenny is not home. Or if he sees me, it could be that I will have the same fate as Mentari.

"Where are we going?"

"Just walk," I said. "Let me show you."

"Don't mind me. I just want to get out of here fast. Start a new life somewhere."

Aji nodded. "Where are you going now?"

"To the house, I mean to my grandmother's house."

"Lo's? You got family here?"

"No. My grandmother is dead. I'm just gonna get stuff out of my grandmother's house and go to town."

Once again Aji nodded. "When are you going? I'll take you to your destination."

"No need."

"Don't refuse."

"But, Kang...."

"There's no buts. I don't want to be haunted by guilt if I don't make sure you get to your destination. That's all."

"Yes, okay." The important thing is that I have to go home first to pick up my things, but the lewd neighbor is not in his house.

The next few minutes we had already turned off the highway and entered the path. Aji started to realize where we were headed. "Your grandmother's house is here?" tanyakanya. "Jaka's house is here too."

"Oh,"*my seat. I just nodded. Then I pointed towards my house.

Aji is getting happy because she realizes that my destination and her best friend's house are located side by side. "Geez, you're neighbors as it turns out. Your grandmother's house and grandmother's house are next door."

"Oh, apparently. But unfortunately I don't like your friend. Can we not keep talking about it?"

Instantly Aji's facial expression showed a bad taste. He nodded slowly. "I'm sorry," he said.

"Yes. I'm sorry too. But how else, I felt a negative aura when I saw it," I said, with a slight lie.

Aji looked at me. His one eyebrow rose as he looked at me with a strange highlight. "Have you also heard rumors about...?"

"Yes." Yeah." Because even I've seen it with my own eyes. "But I don't want to interfere and don't want to care. But also... I wonder, do you think that gossip is true? Do you know anything?"

This time the man beside me shook his head. "I don't know either. But I try not to believe it. I have been good friends with Jaka since childhood. Our age does link a few years, but from childhood I knew Jaka as a good person. So it's hard for me to believe that he's that young man. Unless I see it with my own eyes. But.. as a man, if I just look at the affairs of the business.I'm sorry, I mean. in the affairs of him playing bed, men can not be blamed entirely if he is. That kind of thing wouldn't happen if the girl wasn't willing, would it?"

Hmm. I feel my cheeks flushed. I feel like what Aji said is true. I myself almost experienced how I got to bed with that man. Were it not for Wenny's arrival that day, I would have already entered the list of the seven virgin bloods he was after.

"Well," Aji continued, "if indeed Jaka slept with many girls, and indeed it was not a good act, at least he did not do it forcibly. The girls gave themselves willingly. Jaka did not rape. That's why I can't judge him. He didn't rape."
