Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
So far

Husna and Alia went to the kitchen for dinner, and there were so many people in the kitchen, they were all brothers and Azam's extended family, everyone is busy preparing food for the study later.

Alia was feeling very embarrassed because it was the first time and everyone looked at her, but she tried to blend in and help after she finished eating.

Around 8 pm the tahlilan event began, it just so happened that the weather was no longer raining, and it looks quite bright sky with many stars that adorn. Alia peeked from behind, looks very many people who came because her Abah Azam is a person who is very reluctant and also respected.

"Mba, what's the matter here?" ask Husna.

"Oh no papa, I see again, it turns out there are many people who have come" replied Alia.

"Sorry mba I saw mobile phone mba vibrate continuously, try to see first deh"

Alia recalled that she had not informed her parents when she went to Azam's house, and now they must be worried about Alia because it was night but not home yet.

Alia rushed to pick up her phone and immediately called her Mama, she told her Mama and said she would be home soon when the tahlilan event was over.

Tahlilan continued the prayer together lasted for approximately one hour, and after that Alia and Husna came out to distribute food and snacks, not only the two of them, and after that, the senior santriwati there also helped.

Azam sat together with the sons of students who came from his pesantren back when he was still MA, even those who had alumni also almost all came including Irfan.

Alia had no idea that Irfan was coming too, she was still busy distributing food to the people who were at the front, she said, while Irfan and his friend were sitting at the back so that he did not see Alia.

When she finished giving out the food, Alia intended to go back to the kitchen and help out with another task, but suddenly someone pulled her hand and took her away to a fairly quiet part of the place.

"Discert? why did you bring me here?" ask Alia.

"What are you doing here?" ask Nafisah in a high enough tone.

Nafisah was upset when she saw Alia who was there, moreover she was also seen close to her sister Azam.

"I. bantuin Husna.." replied Alia slowly.

"Bantuin's? help what!? you just want to look for attention just to look caring, when in fact you do not care at all" cried Nafisah.

"Cong you say that? what if I go to my friend's parents' place is wrong?"

"No, it's not wrong at all, but Alia, you should know yourself better!"

"Do I not know myself?"

"Heh, it's still again! you see that!"

Nafisah pointed towards the three beings who had been standing before staring at Alia, beings who were eager to get close to Alia but could not because they were blocked by the fence made to protect the place.

Alia was silent and speechless again, instantly her mind went down because Nafisah made her realize that she was indeed very unsuitable to be in that place.

"Sorry Alia, I shouldn't be talking this rudely to you, but I just don't want the person I love to hurt or why else" explained Nafisah.

"You are not wrong, I am wrong" Alia replied to Nafisah's words with a smile, although she was forced to try to be patient because she was very aware that Nafisah liked Azam so much, so it is natural that he is angry and afraid that his loved ones will do anything.

Alia went to see Husna, she took her bag and said goodbye to go home because the event was almost over and the day was getting night.

"Mba sure you want to go home? it's late, why not stay?" husna.

"No, tomorrow Mba there is a class so Mba went home first well"

"That's not the same as Azam?" ask Husna.

"You just say hello Mba well, assalamualaikum"

"Goddessalam..."

Alia walked towards her motorbike parked in front of Madjid, because there were so many motorcycles parked, Alia was a bit difficult to take out the motorbike because it was blocked by several other people's motorcycles.

Unintentionally from a distance Irfan saw Alia who was in trouble, he immediately got up from his seat and immediately approached Alia.

"Alia.. are you here too? why didn't you say that?"

Irfan continued to look at Alia, he felt impressed by the appearance of Alia who looked very beautiful wearing clothes like santriwati.

"Em.. i..."

"Oh here I help you"

Without being asked, Irfan immediately helped Alia pick up the bike.

After the motorbike was successfully removed, Alia immediately said goodbye to go home, but Irfan insisted he wanted to drive her.

"But I brought my own bike, brother!"

"No papa, I'm following you from behind, I just want to make sure you get home safely, because it's late and your house is quite far from here" Irfan explained.

Alia just nodded, she immediately turned on her motorbike and rushed to go home because it was getting late.

From a distance Azam saw Alia and also Irfan who went together, he continued to stare towards the two of them with a hollow feeling.

Meanwhile, from another place, Nafisah also saw Azam who was looking towards Alia and Irfan. Di felt very envious because Azam seemed to care so much for Alia.

"Mas, Mba Alia said back home, because she was in a hurry to be afraid of the night so she did not have time to say goodbye, but she gave a greeting" said Husna.

"Yes mas knows" Azam replied slowly with a still-moving gaze toward Alia and Irfan.

"Well that's Mba Alia, eh kok same guy si, he who mas?" Husna asked again.

"his girlfriend"

"Daughter? so Mba Alia has a boyfriend? i guess..." Husna did not dare to finish his words.

"What's? you're a kid don't have to think anything!" Azam spoke as he stroked Husna's head and walked away.

The journey from Azam's house to Alia's house takes approximately one hour, about half an hour and eleven nights Alia and Irfan arrived in front of Alia's house.

"Thank you for taking me home" Alia said with a smile.

"Together, I was like you were not angry with me anymore" said Irfan.

"Yes I entered first well, you are careful on the road" said Alia as she walked towards the door of her house.

"Hold on hold"

"Why again?"

"You are so beautiful wearing such clothes" Irfan said his admiration for Alia while continuing to smile.

Meanwhile, Alia just smiled at the compliment and did not say a word, she immediately went inside and asked Irfan to go home immediately.

*****

Azam went into his room and sat down on his study desk chair, he held onto the paper bird Alia made while continuing to look at him.

"Although you're so close, why are you so far away?" azam said in his heart.
