Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Chica

The next day Alia left for college as usual. He parked his bike then walked to class, in the middle of his path diverted by something, again\again he saw the figure of a red-clothed child that he had been looking for yesterday.

The figure of the little boy was sitting under the tree as if he was waiting for something. Because he was still curious about the child, Alia immediately approached.

The more Alia approached, the more clearly the child's face became. His hair is quite long tied one using a red ribbon that makes it look even more cute even if only from the side.

Alia tried to pat the boy on the shoulder, then she turned her head towards Alia, but Alia was really surprised when she saw the child's face up close. It was so different from what he had imagined!.

His eyes were red with wide black eye bags, his mouth was filled with blood that was still flowing even dripping down his shirt.

"Astaghfiullah!!"

Alia directly covered her eyes using her hands because of reflexes, but she had often seen such creepy sightings, but this time she was really shocked because her position was very close.

Slowly Alia lowered her hands and opened her eyes, it turned out that the figure of the little boy was still not lost, but now her face turned into beautiful and cute like a child her age.

The boy smiled as he extended his hand to Alia. In that hand were some ripe Cherries that he might be eating.

Alia returned the smile while shaking her head, a sign that she did not want the Cherry the child was offering.

The boy reached out his hand again and wanted to shake Alia's hand, without hesitation Alia immediately returned the helping hand, but as was common, as was the case, their two hands could not come into direct contact due to the different nature.

"What are you doing here?"

Alia said in her heart while smiling at the little boy, she just smiled and continued to eat the Cherry fruit she was holding.

"Whose name are you?"

Alia again said in her heart, she did not give up at all even though she had not received an answer since, until finally the child made a sound.

"They!" answer the little boy firmly.

Suddenly Alia fell silent, she felt something strange, this was the first time Alia had clearly heard that voice, because he usually only uses telepathy when communicating with invisible creatures, he also has never heard directly the figure who speaks using words.

"Good name"

Now that Alia's words were no longer in her heart, she began to talk directly with the child, and vice versa, the two of them began to chat like fellow humans.

The little boy also said that he would show his sinister face when he first met the person who could see him, it aims as a form of self-protection because sometimes not all humans he meets have good intentions.

"Aren't you going to be Chika's friend?"

Suddenly the words came out from the figure of the little boy, Alia immediately replied to the question with a nod with a smile.

If only he were still alive, his age might be very much older than Alia, he said, but because he died when he was a child, until now he remains a child who really likes Cherry fruit.

Finally, all the suspicions and opinions in Alia's mind have been solved. The figure of the little boy is indeed the grandson of the Grandfather of the campus gardener who died due to the actions of his own grandfather's spirit.

The two of them were too engrossed in chatting until Alia forgot that she had a morning lecture schedule. Alia says goodbye to Chika and immediately goes to her class.

Chika continued to follow Alia all the way to her class, she stood in front of the classroom door like a child waiting for her brother. At first it makes Alia feel uncomfortable because Chika continues to look at Alia, but over time she starts to get used to it.

Throughout Alia's time in class, Chika really didn't leave at all, she was like a guard standing at the door.

"Why do you stand in front of my class? do you have anything else to do?" alia said slowly.

Chika just shook her head, her face looked glum.

"You why? it looks upset?"

"I don't like him!"

Chika spoke while pointing towards the person who was walking in the distance, Alia looked over and ascertained who the person that Chika was referring to was.

"She's a classmate, sister, why don't you like it?"

Alia asked in surprise when she found out that the person Chika was referring to was Meisya.

"He's evil!"

Alia fell silent and sighed, it seemed that the statement no longer astonished Alia because Meisya's nature was indeed rude and liked to bully others.

"So don't come near him!" shout Chika.

"He was rude, but never look for problems with brother, you calm down" explained Alia.

"Don't get near him!" Chika shouted back.

Suddenly the figure of Chika disappeared somewhere, like being carried away by the wind.

"Eh where is he?"

Alia looked around her, and it turned out that Chika had disappeared, she decided to leave the place immediately. On the way, Alia met Nafisah, her eyes still unchanged, so cynical and cold, she gave a white envelope containing an invitation.

"It's for you"

Only that word was spoken from the mouth of Nafisah, Alia received the envelope and Nafisah passed without any other words.

Without feeling that Alia had been a student for a year, and the envelope contained an invitation to welcome new members of the organization, or in other words an event that contained introductions to her juniors.

"A Sunday morning? kok tumben morning, usually also afternoon after college" murmured Alia.

Alia did not mind at all with the schedule at the event, she actually felt very happy because the show on Saturday night could still be done. Before accepting the invitation, Alia had prepared for the event on Saturday afternoon, because Saturday was the day she and Irfan officially dated one year ago.

"It's lucky this is a show I'm not into sliding deh" muttered Alia while smiling alone.

Alia stuffed the invitation envelope into her bag and walked towards the cafeteria. He sat down while continuing to think about Chika's words.

He's evil!

The sentence continued to ring in Alia's mind, why Chika looked so hateful and also afraid of Meisya.

Alia just remembered about the words of Sandra who said that Meisya also has the ability to see subtle creatures.

"Did Meisya have met Chika? was she also being rude to Chika, just like her attitude towards me earlier?"

Alia kept wondering in her heart, her right hand was still busy stirring up the glass of sweet iced tea that was on her desk, but her eyes were very empty.
