Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Could it?

During the night as usual Alia sleeps by hugging a Tiara doll, she falls asleep after telling Tiara all her problems.

It was around midnight, Sita woke up from her sleep, she felt like going to the restroom. After he finished he rushed back to his room, but he heard a woman singing Javanese songs.

𝐿𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠𝑖𝑟 𝑤𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑖 𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑢 𝑡𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑖𝑟𝑛𝑜

𝐷𝑎𝑑𝑦𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔

Sita was curious and tried to clarify the hearing, and it turned out that it came from Alia's room. Sita tried to open the door of the room slowly, and sure enough she saw Alia was engrossed in singing the Javanese song.

Sita was so shocked and tried to immediately call her Mama, but when she glanced at Alia, she was so curious about what her brother was holding. Sita tries to open the door to Alia's room even wider, and it turns out it is a Barbie doll that her brother always keeps.

Sita immediately ran towards Papa and her Mama's room, but she only dared to wake her Mama.

"Wake up, wake up!" Sita is still shaking her Mama's body slowly.

"Why son, these nights you wake up Mama" tried to get out of her bed.

"Hah come with me for a moment" Sita immediately pulled her Mama's hand and headed to Alia's room.

It turned out that Alia was still engrossed in her singing, but her position this time with sleep and eyes closed.

"Well, he sang these nights, the song was weird again" said Sita.

Mia was silent and took a breath.

"You are what the Sita, your sister is really fond of Java chat, especially the song" said Bu Mia who tried to distract Sita.

"But mah night-night gini"

"Here you go, maybe he's just slacking off. You don't see her eyes closed, maybe she was tired this afternoon" Ms. Mia went straight back to her room.

Sita who was still astonished returned to her room with a still curious feeling.

" But he was singing while sitting, why do I invite Mama to see directly so sleep si?" Sita muttered in her heart.

He was still curious about the song, because it really did not resemble his brother's voice when singing. The sound is so soft and also melodious, so live the song sung is also more similar to the voice of an adult.

"Ah already, maybe he did have a voice as good as that when again slipping" Sita also tried to go back to sleep.

While Ms. Mia was still awake and trying to return to Alia's room quietly. He woke Alia who was still singing but her voice started to slowly even stop.

"Alisa..." Ms. Mia tried to wake Alia up slowly.

"Eh Mama?" after several tries, Alia finally woke up and was shocked to see Mama in her room.

Ms. Mia looked inside her daughter, she tried to calm herself down before starting to ask Alia.

"You got a problem?" ask Mia slowly.

Alia was just silent, she lowered her head and recalled what made her become unsettled.

"You once told Mama that you are upset, angry or sad you like Nembang Java, right?"

"Mama still remembers" replied Alia briefly.

Since childhood Alia was very fond of everything that smells of Javanese culture, ranging from tembang, art to stories taught in the history of the Javanese language. He is also very good at writing Javanese script, often even writing in his diary using Javanese script.

Because not all Javanese people are good at writing using the Java Script, so he just hopes that all the experiences he wrote in the diary are not easy to read by everyone.

Alia even always told her Mama that if she really liked the song Lingsir wengi, a song that she had just sung unconsciously, she always said that it was a song about solitude, a song about solitude, the feeling of anger and also the command to stay away from anyone who sings the song, including invisible creatures.

Because since childhood he was always alone, not with his mother and father and his sister. She was always alone in her house, so Ms. Mia was very understanding when Alia started singing the song, indicating that she was upset and angry. According to the lyrics of the song.

Look out jo ngetoro I again bang wingo wingo

"Behold don't show up, I'm in a great rage"

The song was actually sung by Alia as she began to feel tired and angry at those who had always come and gone endlessly, those who were invisible but Alia could see it. When Alia starts to get upset about their presence while her heart is angry, she tries to sing the song to win herself over.

"So Mama heard you sing that"

Alia was silent, she was astonished because she felt that she was only sleeping after she told her story with the Tiara doll.

"What are you having trouble with?" ask Mia again.

"There is no mah, from then I also sleep anyway" said Alia slowly.

While Bu Mia was shocked by her daughter's answer, she felt that her guess was true, that the one singing earlier was not her daughter, but a figure who might steal the chance to possess Alia while she was asleep. Or even, it was indeed a figure that had been in Alia's body for a long time.

"Yes you have slept again, don't forget to pray before going to bed"

Alia nodded and tried to go back to sleep, Bu Mia also returned to her room, but she was reminded of the doll that Alia had always kept.

Ms. Mia still remembers what her uncle said about Alia's Barbie doll.

"Do I have to keep the doll away?" said Ma Mia in her heart.

"But I saw it was completely harmless to her, and Alia would definitely feel lost as well" Mia continued muttering in her heart and thinking about how she should address the Barbie doll.

Tembang lingsir was created by Sunan Kalijaga

Kidung which has another name from Lingsir Wengi is Rumekso Ing Wengi's song using Gending Java pakem, Macapat. The pakem used on Lingsir Wengi is a Durma pake, which has a strong atmosphere, sad, gloomy, sadness, and something terrible in life. That is why this song is softly chanted and heart-wrenching.

Usually, this canticle is sung by Sunan Kalijaga after the Night Prayer, it serves to reject the reinforcements, preventing the subtle creatures from wanting to disturb. In the lyrics, implied the meaning of a prayer to God.

So, unlike the news circulating, this song is not a song to call subtle creatures but to convey his desire that subtle creatures do not come to disturb.
