Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
That big tree

At 3 am Alia woke up, she immediately took water ablution and tahajud prayer. After he finished praying, he realized that it was Thursday, and he rushed to the kitchen and took a piece of bread, and he made a glass of milk.

"Bismillah! let's not continue to be disturbed the same strange!" he said in his heart.

In the morning as usual he went to school, he left early because today he did not have breakfast. Arriving at school he immediately entered the classroom and sat waiting for his friend, he was still thinking with the incident last night, let alone the face he saw always reflected in his mind.

"Woi Tumben clock is in class!" Afi suddenly came and startled Alia who was a little dreamy.

"No, no longer a peeper" replied Alia briefly.

"You're doing good? yesterday he said he wasn't feeling well?" ask Afi.

"Actually today is more unpleasant Fi, but if at home continues to be lazy" explained Alia.

"Keep going to the tutoring, right?"

"I don't think so, I'll go straight home"

Soon the bell in class rang, they also took lessons in class. But the lesson hours have not been completed and Alia asked for permission to go home, she still can not focus on learning because she continues to remember the incident last night.

The teacher finally allowed Alia to go home, she went straight home by bus as usual.

Arriving at the house, Mia was shocked to see her son who came home quickly.

"Loh, baby you're home? why?" ask Mia Ma.

"I'm not feeling well" replied Alia briefly.

"Want to take your mom to the doctor? comeon?" Mom started to worry.

"No, at least just lack of sleep, because last night rich can not sleep that. Sleeping for a while will also heal" explained Alia.

"Yes but eat first well, Mama saw you this morning also did not have breakfast, maybe that makes you not feel well?"

"No need to mah, I still want to continue fasting, baby it's already this hour" Alia went straight to her room and tried to sleep.

However, after a long time he tried to sleep, he did not go to sleep as well. Alia just rolled around on her bed.

"Duhhhhh!!!! I can't sleep!" alia was getting upset. He finally went out and sat on the porch of the house.

"Dear you didn't sleep?" ask Mia Ma.

"I can't sleep" replied Alia.

"Maybe because you don't eat, empty stomach so can't sleep"

"Neither mah, oiya Mah, Papa when to go home?" Alia suddenly remembered her father.

"Say tomorrow on Saturday afternoon come home, at least until here on Sunday morning" explained Ms. Mia.

"Oh, it's still Thursday well" said Alia.

While sitting, Alia suddenly glanced at the large tree beside her house. The old man said that the tree was inhabited by creatures who always keep the tree, therefore the tree is very old and no one dared to cut it down.

Alia who was curious about the tree then approached her and looked around her. There was nothing strange about the tree, only the trunk was a little old.

"Alia you do it there! come in the afternoon, come on in!" yelled Miss Mia.

"Yes Mahh" Alia immediately went and entered the house.

In Alia's room...

"That tree, what's so special? until no one dared to cut!" alia said in her heart.

"Alia is the Maghrib! come here drink first, you're still fasting right?" Ms. Mia stopped Alia's daydream.

"This you eat first well, then pray, not papa really, afraid that later you will become sick" said Bu Mia while taking a plate of rice and side dishes.

Alia just fell silent and according to what her Mama said.

"Well, if you come home tomorrow, you'll leave again?" ask Alia.

"Yes leave again, you've spent a meal, don't have to say much first, abis prayer continues to learn yah" explained Bu Mia.

"Yes Mah" Alia finished her meal.

After finishing eating Alia rushed to pray and study, she began to be able to forget the events of the night and could focus on learning. Not long ago he learned, his drowsiness can not be held anymore, he fell asleep with a book that is still a mess.

In her sleep, Alia had a dream. He met a grandfather with a long shoulder-length hair that was all white, the grandfather along with the figure of a great ape, as big as a human and all his fur was white, the ape was also dressed, but his clothes are like traditional Javanese clothing complete with his headband.

"Son, your father won't be home tomorrow" the old man told Alia in fine Javanese.

"Whose grandfather?" ask Alia astonished.

"It all depends on intention!" the old man said again, then the two of them just left without explaining anything.

In the morning Alia woke up and still remembered the dream last night.

"Last night, was it a dream or wasn't it?" Alia muttered in her heart. He immediately got up and met his mother.

"Mah Mamah.." cried Alia.

"Why dear, this early in the morning are you screaming?" said Ms. Mia.

"Pope, don't come home tomorrow!" alia said unconsciously.

"Who said? Papa hasn't called Mama yet? did Papa call you?" ask Mia Mom, curious.

"No!" alia answered briefly.

Ms. Mia was still confused by her son's behavior, suddenly Bu Mia's phone rang and it was from her husband.

" Hello Pa assalamualaikum" said Bu Mia while picking up the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, mah Papa just want to tell you if Papa does not come home Saturday afternoon yes, there is a sudden job this mah" explained Pak Aji.

Ms. Mia was only speechless in surprise while looking at the face of Alia who was still in front of her.

"Hello Mah, Mamah is still there, right? how quiet is that?" mr. Aji's voice on the phone shocked Ms. Mia

"Ah yes Pah is still, eh papa if not so go home, the important thing is Papa healthy just there?" said Ms. Mia.

"Yes Mah, Alhamdulillah Papa is healthy, yes Papa just want to ngabarin it aja, wassalamu'alaikum" Pak Aji hung up his phone.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Bu Mia briefly, she still continued to look at Alia.

"Where do you know?" asked Mia who was still curious.

"From grandfather" Alia replied somewhat doubtfully.

"Whose grandfather? let's try Mama's story?" Mia's getting curious.

"I also don't know whose grandfather mah, he came from a big tree beside the house, the same great white monkey" explained Alia.

"What did he say?" ask Mia again.

"That's all" replied Alia.

Ms. Mia just fell silent and left just like that.
