Being a Dad to My Niece
Chapter 65. Want to Uncover the Truth (2)
Chapter 65
Arga's words made Marsha flinch. After he thought back, it was likely true. If the perpetrator is someone they know.
"Who, huh? I can't imagine anyone doing anything bad to both of us" asked Marsha.
"It could be that he has a problem with you or Sakti" replied Arga.
Marsha's forehead shriveled with almost fused eyebrows. His brain was forced to think hard to remember an event that might make others angry with him. Despite thinking for quite a while, the woman could not remember either.
"Don't think heavy. It could be because the thing that we consider trivial is something big for others," said Bagas and justified by Indah.
Marsha recalled some events before the fateful night. He went to elementary school every day and spent a lot of time with his students. Going home sometimes makes food to be delivered to the orphanage. If there are young activities he will just come along.
"Ah, yes. I think the perpetrator was a member of a youth organization. It's just that I don't remember ever doing anything that could offend anyone else. At the meeting there was never a debate between me and the others" Marsha said, clapping her hand once.
Arga could also have guessed that the perpetrator was one of Marsha and Sakti's friends. If that person involves people who provide food and drink, he does not know. The perpetrator could have committed the crime alone. However, it does not rule out the possibility of asking for help from others.
"Have you ever rejected someone?" ask Arga.
Marsha's eyes were round because she often did just that. However, she rejects them with kind words and tries not to hurt the feelings of the man she rejects.
"Never again, Marsha often refuses men who want to ask her out. He wants to find a man who's ready to be a husband." It was not Marsha who answered, but her mother.
"Have any of the people you rejected been present at the meeting that night?" arga asked as if he was interrogating Marsha.
"Almost everyone is present. Because they are the youth of this village" replied Marsha.
Hearing that makes Arga want to immediately make Marsha his wife. Do not let him be cheated by other young men in this village. It is not strange that many like his ex-wife, because he is a village flower. Beautiful, smart, have good qualities, and a distinguished family. Complete package for men who want to find a companion for life.
"But, it looks like Sakti said something to me first when we discussed the events of that night," Marsha said, re-examining her memories with Sakti.
Marsha closed her eyes in order to concentrate on recalling where she told the Sakti family about her pregnancy. The two talked together in the gazebo behind Barata's house.
"He said that someone wanted to damage his reputation by immorality to me. She guessed that person wanted people to look ugly at Sakti," replied Alva's mother, still closing her eyes.
"So, actually the perpetrator wanted to make Sakti to do evil to women by screwing her. Hence the drink he was given war medicine*sang. It just so happens that your drink is switched which is only half of it. That's why you both feel the desire to do that," Arga said.
Marsha's body trembled imagining that she and Sakti both enjoyed the affair. They may not remember the incident that night because it was controlled by napsu.
'What are people who are being dominated by lust until they do not remember what they are doing?' marsha asked in her heart.
'Not that drunk people don't remember what they've done, do they? When me and Sakti got drunk? Not a feeling, deh!' inner Marsha.
"What's wrong?" asked Arga while touching Marsha's fingers.
Instantly Marsha's consciousness from her daydream returns. Then, he smiled faintly at Arga because it was clear that the man was worried about him.
"I only remember my consciousness that night. I'm like a drunk person who can't remember anything when he wakes up" Marsha replied.
Suddenly, Arga's brain is connected to the memory of events that he saw while at a party. Sometimes there are people who deliberately put war medicine*sang or drugs into the drinks of people who are their target.
'Astaghfirullahal'adhim. Hopefully Sakti never does anything like this. He'll like Marsha in secret, ' Inner Arga.

How cruel is Arga suspicious of his sister? Was Sakti the mastermind of that night's events?
