Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
The childhood village

"Alia?" suddenly, a familiar young man heard a voice and greeted Alia from behind.

Alia was startled to hear the voice, she immediately turned around and saw who the young man was calling her was.

"Sister Rio!!" Alia ran and hugged him because she missed him so much.

Rio is the youngest son of Mbah Hadi and the one\-only son of Mbah Hadi. Rio has 2 sisters and all of them are married. Alia should have called Rio om, but since they were only 2 years old she was called kaka by Alia. Rio is still in college in the 2nd semester and happens to be on holiday so he can meet with Alia.

"You've grown up" said Rio.

"What! we are the same age!"

"But your attitude is still the same, as it was as a child" Rio smiled as he held Alia's head.

Rio took Alia for a walk to the river and saw the waterfall. When they were kids they played there.

"Haaaaahhhh this is still the same! how lovely!" he sighed and spread out his hands in front of the waterfall.

"Yes it's still the same, so why are you here? don't you have to go to school?" Rio sat on a fairly large rock.

"Well I'm here to keep my mind still" while smiling Alia also sat on a stone.

They both sat while enjoying the natural scenery that is still natural, many hills\-high hills that surround the river. Alia told him everything that happened to her, because since childhood only Rio could be the place to tell stories. Rio was the one\-only person who could be a kaka figure to Alia.

They were both too engrossed in playing until they realized the day had begun to afternoon.

"Alia's late afternoon let's go home!"

"Before a while" was still fun playing water near the waterfall.

. Rio started to feel annoyed and finally walked slowly leaving Alia.

"Why am I left, I'm waiting for me!" Alia immediately ran after Rio who was not far away.

"Are you angry?" asked Alia who was a bit afraid to see Rio silent from earlier.

"You are yes! still a rich kid!" holding Alia's head.

"Yes sorry ka.. end it has not played for a long time"

They continued to walk up and down the hill, after less than 15 minutes of walking they finally reached the house of Mbah Hadi.

"You two are from anywhere! it's already want maghrib, quick shower and get ready for prayer!" mbah Hadi.

Rio and Alia take alternating baths and prepare to perform the congregational maghrib prayer at Mbah Hadi's house.

After finishing the prayer, Mbah Hadi asked Alia to sit in a chair, and put a glass of water in front of him.

Mbah Hadi recited the letter\-letter of Al\-Qur'an and also some prayers while holding Alia's head. After completion Alia asked to drink water that has been provided.

After she finished, Alia intended to invite ka Rio to take a walk to see the night view. But at that time the people there were still very conservative and did not allow people to go out the night after Isya' time'. So Alia could only sit in the living room and chat together with ka Rio, while Mbah Hadi and his wife had already entered the room to sleep.

Four days Alia had been living there, and she was getting bored. That morning Alia took a walk in front of the house, then Mbah Hadi asked Alia to deliver something to the house of his eldest daughter. Alia rushed away with a companion to Rio. They both walked down the hill for approximately 15 minutes, because the house of the eldest son Mbah Hadi is not far from the highway.

After arriving Alia just sat on the front porch of the house while relieving fatigue and enjoying the wind. While Rio went to the back garden of the house to help his kaka-in-law.

Aunt Eni, the eldest daughter of Mbah Hadi and also the oldest kaka of Rio, she has long been married and has two young children. At that time he intended to deliver a glass of drink to Alia who was in front of his house. While still at the door he suddenly stopped.

He was shocked to see Alia's rapidly changing demeanor. Alia was daydreaming, but soon she laughed and cried.

"Oh my God, what exactly happened to my nephew?" said aunt Eni lirih.

"Alia's drinking it huh" she ventured to greet Alia.

"How many days have you been in the house?"

"This is the fifth day of bi" Alia replied while drinking the water that her aunt had prepared.

"Why did you just play here?"

Alia just smiled, the two of them chatted for quite a while. Then seen from a distance a motorbike approached the house of Aunt Eni, and it turned out that it was her mother and father Alia.

"Loh Alia you are here" said Ms. Mia as she approached her.

"Yes, the nganter was told to be the same"

Aunt Eni invited Miss Mia and Mr. Aji to come in. But pak aji prefers to go to the back garden of the house and overtake aunt Eni's husband.

Alia was still sitting on the front porch of the house while Aunt Eni and Miss Mia went inside.

Ms. Mia went straight to the kitchen to put her luggage down, and Aunt Eni made a drink.

"Mbak Yu, I'm a nelangsa you see Alia" said Aunt Eni while stirring the drink he made.

"Why indeed?"

"So I see him daydreaming, laughing at himself, already a rich madman"

Ma Mia just fell silent, she could not say anything\-nothing.

"Can it heal?" said aunt Eni again.

"Just pray En, I've tried so hard"

Unknowingly, Mia's tears trickled down, she felt very sad about her daughter's current state.

"Sorry mbak yu! I don't mean to"

"Ngga papa kok"

Ms. Mia then came out to Alia who was still sitting alone on the terrace.

"What's the state of the house? lama\-long kangen is also the same house" said Alia.

"In the good house, everything is also good, you are patient well, later if it is finished as soon as we go home yes"

"Yes mah"

"Oh yeah, yesterday your homeroom teacher came with some of your classmates"

"Oh yeah? oh, my dear, I'm not home"

"Yes, they came to see you, but my mom told me you were here again"

The two of them chatted a lot until the day started late afternoon and Ms. Mia said goodbye to go home.

"Well mama didn't come by the house?"

"Mama was going there for you, but happened to have met you here so mama did not stop by well, greetings to mba"

"Oh yes, be careful, Mom"

Ms. Mia smiled, before long they left Aunt Eni's house.

"Alia let's go up!" said ka Rio.

Alia nodded, but before that they said goodbye first to Aunt Eni.

They walked up the hill to go home Mbah Hadi. Meanwhile, Mbah Hadi felt very anxious waiting for Alia and her son had not yet arrived because the heart had begun to darken.
