Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Hefty

The situation still feels awkward, Azam and Alia are also still silent to each other without saying\-word.

"Azam, we better tell him, because maybe only Alia can find Afi" said Nafisah who suddenly came to them both.

"What else is this? so you really know where Afi is?" ask Alia.

"This is related to the owner of the house, so it looks like we should talk to Bu Murniati" Azam said.

Suddenly all their friends come and ask what happened, especially Anton, he is very worried when he hears Afi is not everywhere, because he is the leader of the group, he is the leader of the group, so he feels responsible if anything happens with his members.

"What's this, you all gathered here and I heard noisiness, why?"

Suddenly Murniati came and asked what happened.

"Mom.. Can I talk to Mom?" alia said slowly.

"Of course, son, what do you want to say?" ask Bu Murniati.

Alia invites Bu Murniati to talk behind her back followed by Nafisah and Azam, while Nafisah asks the others not to come.

"But why can't we come?" said Anton who was a bit upset because he felt not considered.

"Anton, this is an important matter, and a little personally, I'll explain everything after this" Azam explained.

"They why? how strange!" Erik.

"Okay, I think it's very important, we just wait here" said Sandra.

Alia, Bu Murniati, Nafisah and Azam entered the room that is usually used for prayer, they sat on the floor with a quite tense atmosphere.

"What is this, why is it here, it seems so secret?" ask Bu Murniati.

"Mom... before I apologize, I have no intention at all to interfere with the personal activities of the mother's family, but this concerns our friends" said Alia.

"What do you mean?"

Nafisah and Azam were silent.

"Emm about. head..." Alia felt bad to say it, but because she felt it might have something to do with losing Afi, so she ventured to ask.

"Head? what head?" Bu Murniati was shocked and somewhat nervous.

"The head is hanging above the bathroom door" Alia said quickly.

"Can you see that?"

Alia nodded, as did Nafisah and Azam, Bu Murniati's facial expression turned pale from fear.

"Mother why?" ask Nafisah.

"Why can there be such a thing in this house, ma'am? isn't this mother a religious person?" alia.

Ms. Murniati fell silent again, she was completely frightened and completely unwilling to speak. But after Alia continued to persuade him, he finally wanted to tell everything.

"It used to be my parents' house, it's a legacy and I didn't dare to change it. They told me that there was an antidote amulet in the house, but I didn't know where it was because I couldn't see it either.

Until finally he thought to ally with the jinn who live in a spring that has never been seen by anyone else. Since installing the amulet, our family has lived safely and my father's efforts have also been continuously increasing.

Before my mother died, she told me that the shape of the amulet was a human head hung above the door, but exactly where I did not know because she did not continue her words.

Once every five years, the head will be replaced with the next victim. Actually I have absolutely no relationship and agreement whatsoever with the genie, but until now the incident has still happened and I do not know how to stop it".

"So that means the head is the head of the person who was made into a collision?" alia.

Bu Murniati just nodded.

"Then how do they pick up the tubing?" Alia asked back.

"Every five years, there will definitely be people who visit and stay in this house, whether it's a distant brother, a friend of my son or another. Shortly after coming home from here, there will definitely be news that one of the people who came here has died, whether it was due to an accident when he came home from here or because of illness" said Bu Murniati.

Alia gulped, she felt very surprised to hear the story from Bu Murniati.

"Is the form of the genie in the form of a woman who likes to dance?" alia.

"You really saw that, son? you really have to be careful!"

Alia fell silent and looked towards Nafisah and Azam, she did not understand the words of Bu Murniati.

"Bu.. now my friend Afi is missing, since yesterday I have seen the strangeness of him, but I never thought that he would be a collision here" explained Alia.

"Is that really so?"

"Yes ma'am, actually it was two days ago, I tried to find it, even to the place where the spring said mother was, but I found nothing at all" azam.

"What's!? two days? so all this time I've seen that?"

Alia was again surprised when Azam told the truth, she was also angry with Azam for letting it happen and did not tell Alia at all.

"Sorry, I didn't want you to know and try to find Afi before we got home..." Azam said while looking down because he felt guilty.

"So do you think you know where we can find our friend?" ask Nafisah.

Bu Murniati let out a long breath.

"About fifteen years ago, there were 4 friends of my son who came and stayed here for two days, after which they went home. When I got home, all four were still complete, but a few days later one of their families called me and said their son hasn't come home since he came here, and a week later his body was found under a bamboo bridge, in a small river behind my house, he was taken to the hospital and he said he died of a snake bite, all his friends were almost in disbelief because obviously the four of them came home together from here".

Alia immediately got up and walked out of the room. His mind was erratic because he was very worried about Afi.

"Ragasy where are you going?" shouts Azam.

"I'm going to go to that place, that little river!"

"For two days I've even been to that place 4 times! but there was absolutely no Afi" Azam explained.

"Two days! He has been detained for two days! he's the only child, I can't imagine how Afi's parents would feel if I knew the only child was okay!"

"He's not going to do anything, it's just a diversion!"

Suddenly Azam's words made Alia fall silent again, she turned and looked at Azam as if asking what he meant.

"Alia Ragasy, what she really wants is you!"
