Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Travelling that makes you nervous


Once she finished praying, Alia rushed to the kitchen despite still feeling a little sick, but she also did not want to miss her duties as a wife, which is preparing food for Azam.


Husna rarely used the kitchen in the house because he usually ate in the pesantren kitchen or eat at the house of his brothers. So that morning Alia was in the kitchen alone and preparing breakfast for Azam as well as for Husna.


At around 7 am Alia's simple cooking is neatly arranged on the dining table, namely vegetable long beans, fried tempeh and also sambal terasi, she immediately called Azam and Husna for breakfast together.


"Is this Mba Alia cooking?" ask Husna who looks happy to see the cuisine presented at the table.


"Yes, we eat equally well, but previously sorry also if my cooking is not good" said Alia.


"Ah is impossible! from the smell it must be delicious" said Husna who immediately sat down.


The three of them enjoyed breakfast together, Husna continued to talk and praise Alia's cooking, she did not expect that it turned out that Alia could cook.


"Mba, if you know Mba Alia cuisine is delicious like this, from yesterday I ate at home" said Husna.


"You don't praise me so much" replied Alia.


"But the cuisine is delicious, especially the long bean vegetables" added Azam.


Alia just smiled, she felt happy because her husband and sister-in-law liked her cooking. She also found out from Husna that Azam was very fond of long bean vegetables, so Alia tried to cook her husband's favorite food.


After breakfast, Alia went into the room to clean up her room which was quite messy, especially the bed section. Meanwhile Azam was still sitting at the dining table because it was not finished.


"Assynoltom..."


"Milkahmur"


Fauzi's voice came early to the house to meet Azam and talk to him. The two of them sat in the living room, then Alia immediately made a drink for the two of them.


Shortly after, Husna said goodbye to immediately go to campus because there is a morning lecture schedule.


Fauzi looked at Azam seriously, especially after Alia came out and met the two of them. Alia understood the gesture, so she immediately went into her room and continued her activities earlier.


The light of the morning sunlight that entered the room through the window made the room brighter, it also made Alia more excited in doing her job of cleaning the room because she saw a clear sky.


After finishing making the bed, he then swept the entire floor in the room including the bottom of the iron bed they used. Actually he felt a bit uncomfortable with it, because at home he was used to not using the bed and sleep only on a mattress.


While trying to clean the bottom of the bed, Alia suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down.


"Astaghfiullah! i why? why it feels so weak, even though it has just finished breakfast" muttered Alia slowly.


The feeling did not last long, in an instant Alia was back to how it was, her body also immediately felt energetic again, the feeling of dizziness and weakness was like just passing by, just passing by, but his mind became unsettled because of that. It was like having a vision of what was going to happen.


Alia rushed for the job to be finished, after which she looked towards the living room and it turned out that her brother-in-law was no longer there. He only saw Azam sitting pensively alone in the living room


Alia tries to get to Azam and asks him what makes him feel depressed.


"Mas... Why are you?" alia asked while sitting next to Azam.


"Eh you. emm this was mas Fauzi said that I was asked to take santri to go on pilgrimage, because it happened to Mas Fauzi there was a sudden event so he told me" Azam replied.


Azam sighed and told him that the pilgrimage this time was quite far away, they could at least go for 2 days to commute.


"What makes you confused?"


"I actually want you to come along, but this time all the santri putra departs, and again the distance from the highway to his grave that we have to walk about 2 kilometers, we have to walk about, I know you haven't been able to walk far, let alone you're still sick" Azam explained.


"Yes, why should you think of me? I can stay at home" Alia said.


Azam was silent again, the look of his face was increasingly worried because it was still not hearty if he had to leave Alia alone in the house and environment that was still unfamiliar to Alia.


"I'm not papa" said Alia who tried to convince Azam.


After hearing Alia's opinion, Azam finally decided to leave, he took Alia into the room to help her prepare.


Alia quickly prepared the clothes and items Azam had to carry for two days.


"Alia, are you wearing this again?" said Azam while removing a bracelet made of cocka wood from his closet drawer.


The bracelet is a bracelet that Azam gave to Alia while doing KKN activities first.


"This bracelet...?" Alia just looked towards the bracelet.


"Yes, there is no meaning, just think of the gift from your husband, let you feel I am always close to you even though I am not there" explained Azam.


Alia just smiled and reached out her left hand, a sign that she wanted Azam himself to put the bracelet in Alia's hand.


Around 9 am Azam was ready and said goodbye to Alia, Alia also delivered Azam to the front door, but before that Alia continued to hold Azam's hand as if she did not want to let him go.


"You why? will you hold my hand?" ask Azam.


"I feel a bit bad, Mas" said Alia.


"Not good why? I was only gone for two days, not long" Azam said.


For a moment Alia was silent, she was trying to calm her heart that kept feeling bad, she was trying to eliminate the negative thoughts that kept lodged in her brain.


"Mas can I ask you something?" ask Alia.


"What?"


"I ask you, as long as you go on this trip, you don't ride a motorcycle?" alia.


"Heh you're funny well, I'll bring a car because all the students no one can drive, so I bring it, anyways I will drive a car while driving a motorbike, so I take it, it is impossible." said Azam.


"Yes, that's not it either. The point is that it's one of my messages, you don't forget yeah?" alia said as she continued to hold Azam's right hand.


"God willing I will remember your message, yes I have left first well, you are careful at home, take care of Husna"


Alia kissed Azam's hand and let him walk towards the parking lot in front of the mosque. Alia kept on looking at Azam who immediately entered the car and walked away. He tried to smile at Azam's departure, even though his heart was still not calm.
