Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Really, it really happened

The days I lived as usual, Ardian and I had almost one Sunday never met, never even heard from him. I stayed calm, because I knew he was busy working.

"Now Friday, and tomorrow Saturday, maybe tomorrow he'll come" I said in my heart, hoping that Ardian would come to see me tomorrow, because on Saturday he came home from work and on Sunday he was off.

I was still smiling to myself in the room while holding the monel necklace that Ardian wore to me.

Her morning....

I went to school as usual, but somehow that day I felt so anxious. My mind didn't stop thinking about Ardian, somehow he is now.

It was around the clock that my neck suddenly hurt, it hurt so much! and subconsciously I pulled the necklace I was wearing until it broke.

"Crazy dad! how rich someone is giggling me!" say me in my heart.

I feel so sorry for ruining that necklace.

I went home from school and somehow my heart still wasn't feeling good, my mind was jumbled to see what I was thinking.

When I arrived home, I saw Mama who had just entered the house, she was wearing all black clothes as if she had been crying.

"Where's my mom from?" ask me who is curious.

"Oh Mama has finished treating son" said Mama briefly, he went straight into the house and I followed him.

"Who died, huh?" I asked again because I was still curious.

"Your friend, you know, who last Sunday played here, Mama did not know that was the last time she saw him" explained Mama slowly.

My heart was pounding so hard, my body was hit so hard, my mouth was so stiff it could no longer speak. I wanted to make sure it wasn't him, but it just seemed to be my imagination.

"Why are you, son? oh you must be surprised well, because he is your close friend and has been friends since childhood" said Mama who tried to guess my feelings.

My lips were still stiff, trembling I tried to ask Mama.

"Why did mah die?" I asked in such a slow voice.

"He said the accident, before Dzuhur, riding a motorcycle both the same friend, but strangely he was even though there was no injury, after crashing and even still able to wake up. Could have asked for help, while his friend was severe, his back was torn and his head was full of blood, but he was still alive and now in the hospital" Mama explained.

"Can you mah?" I still want to know the cause of the accident.

"Mama the horror of those who see, if they are drunk! so bring the bike carelessly until it hit it" explained my mother again.

As soon as my body went limp, my lips stiffened and unable to say anything more, I still remember very well his words the last time we met.

"Well, who died was Ardian?" I asked my mother again to make sure.

"Yes Ardian, who played here last Sunday" said Mama reassured.

I went straight into the room and cried, somehow expressing my feelings right now. I feel like I want to scream out loud.

"Why!? why!!!!!!" I kept screaming at myself while crying. I grabbed the necklace and asked myself.

"That's just a silly promise I never wanted to agree to! but why did this really happen! why!?" I just keep swearing. This anger and guilt, as if it had given me a great punishment.

Maybe people will never know what it's like to be me, when I lose someone I love, because maybe they assume that it's just monkey love. Love children who do not understand anything. Because right now I am still sitting on the bench Mts.

So, I'm really going to lose him for good, huh! forever, and will never be able to see him again....

'BACK TO ALIA AND ALDI'S CONVERSATION'

"Now you know why I'm asking you to keep me away!" alia said after she finished telling the story.

Her tears flowed from remembering the incident.

Aldi just kept quiet, he was still thinking about what happened to Ardian. Because come to think of it, it wasn't entirely Alia's fault.

"To this day, those regrets and guilt are still there!" alia.

"But it's not entirely your fault, is it! he couldn't keep his word, and couldn't keep his word!" Aldi tried to reduce that guilt.

Alia was just speechless, all she remembered were Ardian's words and the promise. If Alia did not agree then maybe it would never have happened.

"Alia try it you think, he's already reneged on his promise to you, already disappointed you, so..."

"So what!" Alia cut off Aldi's unfinished speech.

"Then what about Dina!? the words I said to her are now coming true too!" Alia started to get emotional, she started not being able to control herself anymore.

Without feeling his tears flowed back, as he began to remember when the person he loved had been injured.

"Call Alia! you have to be calm, when you are angry maybe you unconsciously say bad words and will make you regret" Aldi tried to calm Alia.

"Quiet down? when other people say bad things about my family can I still be calm?" Alia still continued to curse because she felt very upset.

"You're special, when you can control yourself, you'll be yourself. But if you are angry, the devil can easily control your soul that feels weak, so you unconsciously do bad things" explained Aldi again.

Alia fell silent, in trying to calm herself down and remembered the words that Aldi had spoken just now.

He realized that the words were exactly the same as his father had said.

"Yes I remember! it all comes back to myself, it can be controlling or not" Alia said in her heart.

Aldi looked at Alia as if asking why she was just silent.

"Thank you, you already want to understand me" Alia said with a smile.

"Sama-sama" Aldi also replied to Alia's words with a smile.

It did not feel like it was late afternoon, they both chatted until they forgot to go home.

"Once upon a time I forgot the time, yes I went home first" Alia left Aldi and rushed home.

Arriving at home, he took out a worn box that was inside his bag. Alia opened the box again and stared at the contents of the box.

"Sorry, well, I promise from now on I will try" Alia said to the necklace in the box.

Alia put the box back in her closet.
