7 Virgin Blood
The Heart that is Broken

"Start! This is the guy we were talking about! That made you cry, and took away the virginity of many girls!" juwita said fieryly, while Jelita was fast away, perhaps worried that the man would snatch away the black stone he was holding.

The man, whose face I knew very well, glanced to the left where Mentari was standing there. He was about to smile at the girl but canceled when Mentari showed a stiff face and then threw his face away from her.

"What are you talking about me about?"

The two blond girls did not reply immediately but instead laughed gigglingly.

"Week girls! What was? Why are you laughing? Quick, give me the black stone back!"

"You really want to know what we just talked about?" Juwita said with a smile.

"Tell me, Sinting Girl! I wonder what the three of you are talking about me. And don't beat around!"

"Hey, are you not ashamed if we say so blatantly?" Jelita says.

"We saw you and a beautiful girl named Puspa Sari berbugi*-bugi* inside the old hut!" juwita.

"Brazed girl! Don't you dare defy me!" yell Oom Jaka. He was angry, and raised a murderous gaze.

"Indeed right. This is not slander. That's reality. You're committing adultery in an old hut. You also did it with a girl named Arumi, and three days ago with Mentari in the saung there. Right, right?"

Oom Jaka's anger is out of control. Face darkens. Her ears are like baking. Just one jump, he slapped a slap into Juwita's face.

I never saw his anger. Now he feels so foreign.

"Enough, Kang!" The sun shouted, while the pair of blond girls fled from there.

"What do you mean get in my way? Heh? Don't stop me, Dance! I'll kill those two girls!"

"Enough! What do you mean attack that girl?" mentari asked in a rage, but he did not look towards the man who was at odds with him. Like that, he threw away his face.

"She... the girl, she was... You heard it yourself, right? He said bad things about me. He slandered me. That's not all right. Just bullshit! You don't believe them, do you?"

Mentari grunting. His face was smiling cynically. Makes the man become more angry even though mixed with wonder. "So, what's going on? You talk but you don't want to look at me. You seem to be defending those slanderous girls."

"They are not slandering. I saw Akang and Puspa Sari in the old hut. Don't think I don't know what you're doing!"

The man smirked, then was about to approach Mentari.

"Don't you dare move any closer!"

Oom Jaka was shocked not to play. He reached out a hand about to hold Mentari's arm but the girl snapped back. His face imagined a threat.

"Kang Jaka! Don't touch me! I'm not Puspa Sari or Arumi who can be your depraved appetite gratifier!"

The man was gripping big. His two feet were like they were stuck to the ground. "So, I...."

"I don't want Akang to say my name! Get out of front of me!"

"I don't see ghosts! But look at that very disgusting creature!"

Oom Jaka scratched his head. "Well, whatever you want to say! But would you please explain first why you defended those two little bastard slanderers? Then why are you angry and say no to me? I don't think I have anything wrong with you. The two blond girls stole my black stone. They also slandered me and then it was good to run away. I wasn't...."

Suddenly there was a terrible roaring sound. A moment later a huge black motor appeared and stopped at that spot. On the speeding motorbike sat a young man in a cool and dashing style.

"Hey, Bro! What are you two doing here?" ask the young man who was riding the bike.

The look on Mentari's face and the man before her seemed confused, then, a moment later, Oom Jaka blinked, but the young man did not understand the gesture directed at him.

He nodded, and instead said, "Alright. I don't want to disturb. Apparently you are alone in this place. Well, I'm going first. I'll find you back later. There's something important I want to talk to you about."

"Please don't go yet, Aji."

"But, Bro--"

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Kang Aji, if Akang really wants to go, can I come?"

Mentari's speech made the young man named Aji astonished and looked at Oom Jaka who at that time could only stand upright while grinning. His forehead was wavy with wrinkles. While, on the other hand, the young man named Aji thought the girl was just insinuating him, and he instead said, "I didn't mean to bother you. Really am. I'm sorry to step back."

"Kang Aji, wait! I'm coming!"

"But...?"

"Can, right?"

The young man looked at Oom Jaka as if he wanted to ask, but Oom Jaka just stood still, looking at the two people before him with a look of wonder and confusion.

In such circumstances suddenly the girl jumped up on the motorbike and sat behind Aji. She held her right hand tightly to the young man's waist.

"So, how's this?"

"The bike, Kang!"

"But maybe I should ask...?"

"Let's go! On the way you can ask a thousand questions. I'll answer everything! Especially regarding your friend who you consider to be good and holy!"

With a bad feeling, the young man roared the motor and drove away.

"Snack girl! It's crazy of him!" Oom Jaka shook his head and kicked at the grass. "The way to go with Aji, like deliberately wanting to make me hurt. He wore the embrace of the man's waist all. Want to make me hurt and jealous? Crazy one! Why am I hurt and jealous? I didn't think either. Oh my God, why is he so? What the hell happened to him? He said he saw myself and a girl named Puspa in the hut. Do not-don't... The shadow that I saw in the hut was indeed his shadow? Did the girl see me and Puspa being...?"

Heart broken! Everything is clear now. With pain, I ran away from there.

I'm disappointed in you, Oom. I thought you were a good man. I thought you were my soul mate. And yesterday...? It turns out you only want to target my virginity. You fucking dick! Goddamnit!
