7 Virgin Blood
Embark....

It was raining heavily that night as we ate dinner in the dining room. Inevitably, it makes Kang Solihin tease Ak Jaka in naughty whispers. Making the man cry while stealing glances at me.

"Eat a lot, Jaka," said Mang Zulfikar.

"Yes, Jaka, let it be strong and steady" Bi Fatma chimed in.

"Don't do much" said Kang Solihin. "That's enough. It's not even comfortable playing sports tonight."

"That ointment" said Husna Tea. "Later to be great if the stomach is mostly filled. You don't eat much either, Lan. If you are hungry, you can wake up later to eat. But.. before the first night, do not eat much. Let's stay comfortable if you bring a jumpalitan."

Eh?

Everyone laughed out loud.

Ah, basic. Ak Jaka and I continue to be their monthly. Plus Husna Tea whispered, "Where are you feeling? Deg-degan? Nervous, huh? Young girls your age must face men as mature as Kang Jaka, will definitely be devoured. Mental ready." Husna tea chuckles pleasure.

"Ih, Rubber, mah. Don't make me cringe, Tea."

"Seriously horrified? Are you not impatient? Hmm?"

"Oh my goodness, tea. Don't tease me like that!" My face is practically back in red.

After dinner, because it was not good to go straight to the room, Ak Jaka and I also hoarded into the chat continued family members in the lounge. Ngalur-ngidul talked about our marriage which is still an exciting conversation for the whole house. Especially considering how nervous Ak Jaka has been since entering the house for the contract process. I wonder how I should escape the living room and bring Ak Jaka to the room?

The hour hand was already pointing at the figure of eight the night when Ak Jaka and I were glaring for the other time that night, until Ak Jaka had to hug a pillow on his lap because he could no longer resist the desire for a contest he missed as a man. From his gaze I knew, what was in his head was exactly the same as what I was thinking, and hoped that second by second it would quickly roll over and hope that drowsiness would soon strike everyone.

But that hope didn't happen. Fortunately that night Mang Zulfikar was out, to the village chief's house. So three more people we have to wait to get out of the living room.

"Auntie to the room first, yeah. Mau salat isya," said Bi Fatma while standing up, making my brain and Ak Jaka's brain feel like a bright light.

At last....

"Jaka, Wulan, don't forget to pray before going to bed" Bi Fatma said.

We both nodded, saying compactly. "Yes, Bi."

"Say it straightforward, Mom. Before you."

Bi Fatma even chuckled. "Nganu is not straightforward, Leh. Fear Jaka did not even understand what it was nganu."

Euw. mother and child are the same. So compact.

After being satisfied with the laugh, Bi Fatma immediately went to the bathroom for tatters. And as soon as Bi Fatma walked into her room and closed the door, Ak Jaka immediately stood up, put away the pillow from above her lap and laughed grimily. "Darling, pray now, yuk?"

"Basic!" ledek Kang Solihin throwing sofa cushions.

Ak Jaka was grinning wide. "Now is not the time to respond to you, you know!" ledek.

Regardless of Kang Solihin's chatter, Ak Jaka and I joined hands in the bathroom, berwudu, then we both prayed together. After the prayer, we did not forget to pray. Ak Jaka is leading and I guarantee all his prayers. One of his prayers asked the Creator to bless our marriage and grant us offspring. He misses a whole family very much.

Aamiins. I really hope our prayers are answered soon. I want the same thing. We will take care of the new population data, the new family card, and hope that there will be many names written under our name, in the family member's name column on that piece of paper. So that my name will not be set alone again. Aami....

"Well, we're done praying. Now...?"

I smiled shyly. Now is the time, my heart.

Although I was embarrassed, I was excited for this moment. So enthusiastic. Soon I took off my face, I folded neatly together with the prayer mats of the two of us and then kept it back to its original place.

As soon as I turned around, Ak Jaka had taken off his scabbard and pyjamas, bare-chested and sitting leaning on the head of the bed, on the edge, on the side where he would sleep. There, from that place, he looked at me with an extraordinary look that made my heart flutter. His eyes imply love and passion. His smile...

Clumsy, I put my feet in the bed. To the side next to him. Then sit there.

In silence we both went silent without a sound. Fixated. Ak Jaka just looked at me, then finally he reached out, grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.

"Wardana, you are the most precious gift from God to me" said Ak Jaka, spitting his fingers on the side of my face. Then his hand went back, took off my hairband and let my hair slide to my shoulder, where he wrapped his fingers in that tenderness, then cupped the back of my head. Pulling my face closer to him. Closer. Real close. Then he kissed me.

So long. He's mastered, exploring my esophagus. It makes me out of breath. It was so hard that I pulled my face from it.

"Good night. It's getting late. We're sleeping, yuk?"

Huh huh?

"A...?"

The man immediately lay down, face down, and closed his eyes.

"Ac, are you seriously going to go straight to sleep?" manyu, nelangsa.

He opened his eyes, squinted one eye to look at me. "Hu'um, I'm sleepy, honey. Tired."

"But this is...."

"Our first night."

"Hu'um, so...?"

"Tomorrow the night, yeah."

"Oh? Tomorrow...? Tomorrow then?"

"Yes. It's okay, right?"

Unable to answer. The disappointed me could only nod and instantly lay down my body. Lying behind him.

One sec. Two seconds. Three seconds. Until that moment became a minute, I struggled with my own thoughts. Wondering, why? Why is tonight like this?

Then suddenly Ak Jaka took my hand, and...

I point my hand there.

Eh?

Tensional. Strenuous. Robust. And pulsating. Hand touched it.

Ak Jaka laughed out loud. "Where could I have missed it! It's time you turn yourself in, baby!"

"Basic! Your jokes aren't funny!"

He made me grumble. Not for long, because...

He immediately stripped me completely naked. A full moon up there. Put yourself above me.

"Well, are you ready, honey?"

Ouch!!!
