Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
A gift or a disaster?

Bell entered the class had rang, but Alia really no longer had the spirit to take the next class, she again laid her body on a thin mattress and continued to be silent.

"Alia you don't want to go to class?" ask Nida.

Alia just shook her head, while Amar said goodbye to enter the classroom. Nida was still sitting next to Alia with her hands.

"You're not going to Da's class?"

"I'm here, yeah, nemenin you"

Nida tries to keep smiling at Alia, despite her own mixed feelings. Alia fell silent again, her mind still reminded of Mayra who came to her the night before the accident happened.

Now he knew that Mayra's coming was like a sign that he would be gone for all eternity, but he also felt very sorry and guilty for not understanding the purpose of Mayra's coming.

Long enough they were both in the UKS and kept quiet, before long Azam came to see the situation of Alia.

"Azam you're not in class?" ask Nida.

"Today the students were sent home quickly, all the teachers and staff would be willing to serve" Azam replied.

"Means I also have to go home dong, duh Alia sorry well I can not nemenin you anymore"

Nida spoke with great regret that she could not be next to her best friend anymore, because the rules for the princess can only be outside the boarding school hours only, because the rules for the princess can only be outside the boarding school, if the school hours are over then they should immediately go home to the boarding school.

Alia nodded with a smile, trying to understand Nida's state. He got up from his bed and stood up to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" ask Azam.

"I'm gonna grab my bag in class"

"Amar brought it"

"Where is Amar now?"

"He's in the teacher's room, you wait"

Alia finally sat back and waited, while Azam walked out.

"You want to come to Mayra's?" Azam suddenly turned around and asked.

"I must have come along, and every day I also pass by his house".

Azam left the room while Alia was still sitting inside to wait.

After a while everyone was ready to leave and they went to Mayra's house.

_____-----_____

When she reached Mayra's house, her body was buried, so Alia rushed to the funeral.

Along the way Alia kept silent, her eyes focused on one of the ends of the coffin where there was blood continuously dripping.

"*Mayra... Why is this so*?" muttered Alia.

Mayra's mother was still at home and did not attend the funeral because she could not see her only child dying so tragically, while his father was still on his way home from working in a fairly distant city.

As soon as he arrived at the cemetery his coffin began to be opened and the body began to be lifted. All of his relatives were unable to hold back tears when the corpse was still bleeding so much from his head.

"God why is that so"

Alia spoke softly while shedding her tears. Bu Yanti who was next to Alia patted her on the shoulder and asked Alia to remain calm.

"Mom heard his head broke because it was crushed by the bus tire, even at that time his helmet could hardly be removed because it was almost fused with his head" Ms. Yanti spoke very quietly because she did not want others to hear her.

Alia's tears kept dripping, her feelings really became more sad when she heard Yanti's words.

As soon as the funeral was over everyone started to leave the tomb, but Alia was still standing there alone and staring at Mayra's tombstone. Azam sees this and asks Amar to wait for him in the parking lot.

"When are you like that?"

"Everybody's gonna die, you can't do this"

"Then what should I do? pretend not to know and live as usual? certainly can't!"

The atmosphere became very quiet as Alia and Azam kept quiet after Alia spoke in a high tone. Alia's mind was again enveloped in guilt.

"Why do you keep blaming yourself?"

"Then who should I blame? if only I understood the meaning of the sign, if only that morning I had left a little faster as usual and took him away with me maybe..."

Alia could not help but continue her words, her tears flowing back, her body suffocating and sitting on the ground.

"What do you mean?"

Azam became marketing with the words Alia, there are some words that make him not understand and why Alia had to blame herself.

"A few days earlier I had seen the aura of Mayra's very different face"

Alia recounted everything she had experienced the last few days when she saw Mayra in a thick white shadow, until Mayra's face looked very pale.

"You really\-does see it?"

Alia nodded, she also said that last night she had a dream about Mayra thanking her.

"I remember now, I used to see the same thing with Ardian, but why yesterday I really\do not understand! I'm so stupid!"

Alia beat her own head and went back to blaming herself because she really could not understand something she saw.

"Ragasy do you know that ability is a gift?"

"the award? it's even like a disaster for me!"

"Why do you say that?"

"How can't it? I knew that this was going to happen, but I couldn't even do anything and had to let Mayra..."

Alia came back crying, she closed her eyes using both hands. Azam approached and stood right beside Alia, he held Alia's head using his right hand and tried to calm Alia's mind.

Alia opened both her hands and started to stop crying, she felt a little calmer and Azam immediately pulled back his hand.

"God gave man advantages, but he must have given him shortcomings"

Alia stood up while wiping away her tears, she looked around and at that instant the sky started to become cloudy, the wind was blowing like it was going to rain heavily.

"Let's go home?" Azam invited Alia to come home soon.

Alia just nodded and did not speak, Azam and Alia started walking away from Mayra's grave and rushed to go home, instead, from a distance Alia and Azam saw the figure of Mayra standing beside her grave while smiling towards the two of them.

"Mayra..you are calm well"

"You go home quickly before it rains, and be careful\-careful on the road"

Azam smiled at Alia, but Alia went back to silence and left, she headed to her bike and walked home. Alia tries to make Mayra go, but along the way she still can not forget the accident experienced by Mayra.

"So this is a gift or a disaster?"

Alia continued muttering to herself during the journey. When he arrived at the house, Mia was on the terrace and saw Alia's return. She saw her daughter coming home with a shabby face and a dirty looking skirt hit the ground.

"Alia why you, son? you fell?"

"Well, I was sitting on the ground"

"Why are you sitting on the ground?"

"My best friend died this morning, I'm out of his funeral"

Mom Mia was worried to see Alia talking with my eyes, she then told Alia to take a shower and change clothes. Alia went into the house and immediately took a bath, after which she went into her room and sat on the floor leaning her shoulders against the wall of her room.
