7 Virgin Blood
Colloquy

"Should it?"

"What does Akang mean? Of course I should. I promised."

"Then say, how, when, where, and what time did I make that promise?"

Beautiful eyes Luna bought wide, she looked surprised to hear the response of Ak Jaka who was so relaxed, then the girl looked restless. "That's. I forgot the time."

"Then you have no proof that I ever promised you, do you? And besides I don't feel like I ever promised, then why should I keep a promise I never made to you? I have no obligations."

Long time the beautiful girl was astonished to hear Ak Jaka's words. For a moment his pair of eyes did not blink looking at that charismatic handsome face. Slowly Ak Jaka stood up. But suddenly Luna held onto Ak Jaka's arm and said, "Our conversation is not over."

Patience, Wulan. Patience....

If I had not been very good at restraint this time, I had broken the girl's hand, how dare she hold my husband's hand.

"I have proof. There's a cctv in my backyard."

"alright. Just show me so I can easily deny it."

"If Akang can't deny it, then Akang must keep that promise. Marry me."

"It will be hard for you to prove it, Luna. But go ahead, just try it."

"I don't care how hard it is. I will fight for my love. Because nothing is impossible in this world. Including getting you. I can do it!"

Ak Jaka tried to smile. "That's how you are, and most girls come near me. You have no shame."

The smooth white face of Luna instantly blushed, either out of anger or out of shame at the words of Ak Jaka who slapped her severely. "I didn't expect, I could talk so rudely to me."

"Why, no?"

Geck! Geck!

A knock on the open door interrupted the conversation. His grandson Nek Aluh's love stood there, gasping for breath. It seemed like he had just run out, behind him stood two similarly gasping bodyguards. Maybe chasing Love.

That girl is too reckless. Did he not think about the contents? What if he falls while running? His dexterity made me shake my head.

Now what am I supposed to do? Stay here and let Ak Jaka face his own problems or do I have to get out? But would Ak Jaka like it if I interfered?

"Sorry, we're talking. You shouldn't have just come in like this." Luna stared dislikefully at the young pregnant girl.

But love doesn't bother. "I have no business with you. And what I want to talk to Kang Jaka is no less important than your business. So, can we talk, Kang? This is about my grandmother and also about my pregnancy."

"Can't! I'm not done talking!"

"Then finish it now."

"Not in front of you!"

"Whatever. There were some people here waiting to talk to Kang Jaka. Our business is also very urgent."

Huh uh???

"There's a lot?"

I turned my head, apparently behind me, Teh Husna and Kang Solihin eavesdropped.

"Let me look outside." Kang Solihin barged into the living room and gawked out the door. "There were two girls outside" he said. "The guards kept them there."

Out of curiosity, Ak Jaka went to the door and gawked outside. His forehead wiggling. "Who are they?"

"Seriously, Kang Jaka doesn't know them?" Love said and stared cynically at Ak Jaka.

Ak Jaka shook his head. "I don't know them." He kept trying to calm down. "Don't stare cynically at me like you're accusing me. Or, get out of here and we don't have to talk. Simple, right? If you're polite, then I'll be disinclined."

Afraid of being evicted, Nek Aluh's grandson lowered his face and lowered his voice. "They are Arumi and Puspa Sari. Just like I experienced, the two of them are also pregnant with Kang Jaka's fetus."

Where I hid with Teh Husna, I was stunned. I bit my lips to withstand the blood and heart turmoil. While there, Ak Jaka let out a deep breath. "Send them all in. Have all the guards stand guard here. Don't let there be a riot."

As instructed, everyone was brought into the minimalist living room. As soon as he saw Ak Jaka, Arumi and Puspa Sari stared angrily at him. Just about to throw punches and slaps, the guards who were also inside the room immediately intercepted the two, held them back and held them firmly.

"We're talking fine or you're getting your feet out of here. Easy choice."

"What did you say?" The girl named Puspa Sari stared angrily. "What's easy? Heh? I'm pregnant with your son! But you disappeared!"

"Puspa!" Love reprimands with stifled emotions. "Please calm yourself first or we can't solve this problem. Patience. We're talking good."

Although forced to, the four girls were silenced in front of Ak Jaka and Kang Solihin, as well as the guards standing behind them.

Ak Jaka cleared his throat. "Just get to the point, you must have heard the news that I have a twin named Jaka Prasetya who later pretended to be me and made a riot."

"Can we believe you have a twin?"

Ak Jaka smiled calmly. His eyes stared at Puspa Sari, a moment later he turned his gaze, sweeping across every face of the four girls before him. "Do you have any evidence that you two are a couple with this young man who has exactly the same face as the one before you? A photo or video showing the time and place? Do you guys have any?"

Puspa Sari shook her head, as did the other three faces. They shook their heads, having no proof.

"But in essence those moments happened in the last month, right? I can prove to you with a digital record track, that I just came to Rancabali after all the riots happened. Where in the days before I was in Amsterdam."

Confidently Ak Jaka shows a video covering himself and some of his co-workers, a video complete with details of when, where and in what moments the video was taken. Videos from internet sites that are clearly not the result of edits or deceit. Then he also showed video footage of the cctv of the hotel where he stayed while in Amsterdam, as well as cctv footage of the airport during his flight abroad and his return from abroad.

"If you think there is cheating, you can check yourself to the airport. If necessary to all airports in Indonesia, all stations, ports, or to terminals. Whatever. Prove that I have returned to Indonesia before the day of my return that I just showed."

The four girls did not wiggle.

"I'm not forcing you to believe. Especially for the three of you who are pregnant. We will prove later that the fetus in your womb is not my child. We're gonna do a DNA test."

Now the three pregnant girls glanced at each other, then Arumi said, "We are just little people. How can we believe that the test results will not be manipulated?"

"Trust or not is your business. After all, if your thoughts about me are so petty, I am free to say that I am not a cynical person. You guys still won't believe."

Discussion that there would be no meeting point if they continued to suspect Ak Jaka. I feel furious. I was just about to come out of hiding, but I paused my intention when I heard Kang Solihin interrupt the conversation first.

"The bottom line is that dishonorable girls, if you can't find Prasetya, the man who impregnated you, then your fate is forced to hang. And it's your own fault, too cheesy and touchable. Tell me that my words are wrong. Hm? Didn't you surrender yourself voluntarily? Then you should take your own risks. It's still a good thing my cousin wants to finance your delivery."

Oh my... Kang Solihin is out of control. His mouth is back. Husna tea who stood up, eavesdropping near me, immediately glared at the babbling of her husband.

I just shook my head while the three pregnant girls fell silent with a pushy look. I remember Kang Solihin talking about me the same way. The words coming out of his mouth sounded very painful.

Melting back the atmosphere, Ak Jaka cleared his throat politely. "This means. After you give birth we'll do a DNA test. And about your delivery later, you guys take it easy, I will finance. And also about this pregnancy period, I will meet all your needs, here every time the USG and your monthly health check, I will bear."

"Then what is the cost of living after birth?" Love asks.

"We'll talk about it later after you give birth and the DNA test shows a positive result."

"But I don't want to give birth to this baby" Arumi interjected. "I'm asking for an abortion fee."
