Behind the Eyes of INDIGO

Around noon Alia had just regained consciousness and finally Bu Mia felt relieved because her unconscious daughter since night had returned to consciousness.

"Ah why my body hurts all yah"

"You're sober, son, let Mama help you sit down."

Ms. Mia helped Alia to sit down and leaned her body against the wall. Alia's entire body still felt very weak and could not be moved at all.

"Kok on all wrists I bruised gini Mah? aw! my neck hurts too!"

Alia looked at her injured hands and feet and also touched her neck which was still painful.

"Don't touch son, Mama just applied ointment to your wound"

Alia was silent, Ms. Mia told him everything that happened to her last night, Alia had remembered the incident but only a little.

*****

That afternoon on campus, Nafisah accidentally saw a red wound on Azam's neck while at the mosque. He thought that it might have something to do with the tree that fell this morning.

Nafisah tried to approach Azam and asked, but Azam chose to dodge and quickly cover the wound using a scarf that he had been wearing since morning.

"Basic stupid! why would you prefer someone who always makes you sick!"

Breath spoke inwardly while gazing at Azam's departure.

The hatred for Alia grew and grew when the person she liked sacrificed and felt pain only for the person who never cared for her.

*****

One week passed since the incident, during which Irfan never a day did not come to visit Alia and today Alia began to return to college after one Sunday just lying weakly in her room.

Today Alia departs along with Irfan because her parents have not allowed Alia to bring her own motorbike, given the condition of her body that has just recovered.

It was already past a week, but the scars all over Alia's body still did not disappear completely, luckily Alia always wore a veil and long sleeves, she said, so he was not confused how to cover up his scar.

Once at the campus parking lot, Alia came down and was about to walk herself to her class, but suddenly Afi came and immediately hugged Alia.

"You're finally leaving too. I'm so sorry I'm with you!"

"Hehe yes I have also missed learning, but also just sleeping in the room"

"Eh the scar is still not gone? though it looks just bruised doang, but how long huh?"

Afi accidentally holds Alia's wrist and sees that the red scar still hasn't gone away either. He then recalled about Azam's wounds which were exactly the same as the wounds on Alia's body.

Afi tries to tell Alia everything, but she first takes Alia away from the parking lot so that Irfan does not hear what Afi told Alia.

"Eh wait! is that why there is no tree?"

"Well that's Al! that morning when you were sick, the tree fell down, and I saw the same wound on both of you're necks!"

Alia was only speechless, she was not interested in Azam at all, but she was very curious how such a big tree could be knocked down just like that.

Afi tells everything in detail, from the state of the tree that is full of maggots, to the whole human skull that is under the roots of the tree.

Time went by so quickly that Afi realized that she had 5 minutes of class.

"I went to class first, Al Daah"

Afi ran and left Alia. Alia looked at her watch, her class starting in 30 minutes so she could slowly walk to her class.

Alia sat on her stool and prepared her notebook.

Brak!! suddenly someone came up to Alia, she hit the table and threw a single piece of paper at Alia's table loudly.

"Task you for a week!"

Someone stood in front of Alia's table with a very fierce gaze, her speech was also very judes, but Alia tried to still respond politely.

"Not to get too familiar! make it a hassle!"

The tone of speech was so loud, that everyone in the class looked towards them. Alia just stood still and took out one bendel of the task paper.

"Why does he seem to hate me? what's my fault?" alia said in her heart.

"Don't enter the heart of Al, Meisya is so..."

Sandra who was sitting behind Alia tried to calm her down and patted her on the shoulder slowly.

"I don't have a papa." replied Alia slowly.

*****

College hours are finally over, everyone is out of class. Alia was still busy tidying up some of her task notes.

"Alia, let's go to the cafeteria together"

Said Sandra who was already standing beside Alia.

"Oh yes for a while I finish this first" is still busy cleaning the paper task.

"Today it's your turn to finish the device and bring the projector to the lecturer's room!"

Meisya suddenly came closer and spoke loudly enough to make him shocked.

Alia simply glanced at him and returned to tidying up her belongings.

"May how are you? today isn't it your turn?" Sandra tries to defend Alia, but Meisya seems to hate Alia even more.

"You don't have to be a hero! why is the guy wearing all his armor!"

"She's just healed up sick, you can't say it slowly with her!"

"Heh sick, as long as he is sick also I always replace his duties!"

Alia wakes up and tries to stop the debate between Meisya and Sandra, but accidentally Alia is hit by the slap of Meisya who is about to slap Sandra.

"Ups sorry accidentally!"

Meisya looked very satisfied when her slap hit Alia's cheek, Sandra tried to retaliate but Alia kept stopping.

"Udah Sandra! don't take care of him, I don't know if I just finish these tools"

"Huh you loser!"

Meisya walked away and left the two of them. Alia calmed Sandra who was still upset with Meisya earlier.

"You are why! got slapped still quiet!"

"Let's just let it go, you go to the cafeteria first, let me finish this first"

"No, we'll settle down together so we can go to the cafeteria together"

Alia smiled and started doing her job. Sandra was so enthusiastic in helping Alia, but Alia still thought about why Meisya looked so hateful to her.

While out and walking towards the cafeteria, Alia accidentally saw Meisya from a distance walking along with her friend. But what caught his attention was a small woman walking behind him.

The woman if still alive may be around 10 years old, she uses a knee-length dress bright red, her hair is jet black shoulder to shoulder, but Alia can not see her face, she said, I can only see that figure from behind.

"Kok I've just seen a creature like that? but why is he following Meisya?"

Alia muttered in her heart.

"Al! how to daydream? come to the cafeteria, I'm hungry" Sandra said.

"Yes yes..."

Alia and Sandra continued on their way to the cafeteria, but Alia still looked at the small female figure.
