Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Virgin pocong rope

" Alia... Azam really likes you like it"

"Do not bother"

Nida continues to argue, but Alia always denies it.

They continued the lessons that day until it was over.

When the bell went home from school, Alia immediately cleaned up her books and school supplies, she left class and headed to the parking lot.

After arriving at the parking lot Alia immediately pulled out the key and turned it on. Alia started to drive slowly, she tried to focus on driving but suddenly she remembered Mayra.

Alia decided to stop by Mayra's tomb for a while and make a pilgrimage, from a distance Alia saw some of the fathers who sat around Mayra's tomb.

Out of curiosity, Alia approached them.

"Assalamualaikum sir" said Alia

"Walaikunsalam deck, what's the need to come here?"

"Oh I just want a short pilgrimage, all through"

Alia also offered prayers and cleaned some of the grass that began to grow around Mayra's tomb.

"Sorry sir, if I may know why you're here?" out of curiosity, Alia finally ventured to ask.

"Oh we were told by the family of the deceased to guard his grave for 7 days and 7 nights"

"Why should I be guarded, sir? and why 7 days and 7 nights?"

"This woman is still a virgin, and she happened to die on Kliwon Tuesday"

Alia became increasingly confused to hear the answer from one of the fathers. He asked the father to explain, and he said that a girl who died on Kliwon Tuesday or Kliwon Friday should be kept in her grave for seven days and seven nights.

It aims to avoid theft or forced demolition of the tomb. Because there are still many shamans or people who believe that the pocong rope and also the shroud of the virgin girl who died on that day is very powerful to be used as a talisman. Be it as a seller of effort, a talisman of devotion and as a substitute in order to stay young.

"Astaghfirullah, is there anyone who believes such a thing sir?" Alia asked back.

"Again today many people who prefer shortcut deck, they use any way to get rich quick"

Alia was saddened to hear the statement, she felt that those people were so heart-felt, that even the dead were still trying to be disturbed.

"Some have ever, sir"

Alia was still hesitant about it so she asked the man who was on guard.

One of the fathers replied that he said there had been a girl, she died on Kliwon Friday because of an accident and her tomb was not guarded.

The next morning they saw that the girl's grave was already in a state of disassembly and some of her pocong rope had already been stolen, so they had to bury it again. At first all the residents thought that it was just a coincidence and the actions of irresponsible people so after the tomb was repaired they immediately left it as usual.

But the next day someone again saw the grave had been uncovered, even the shroud of his corpse had been torn and lived partially. After that they remembered that the body was a virgin girl who died on Friday Kliwon.

One of the residents believes that there are people who deliberately dismantle the tomb to steal the pocong rope and also some of the shroud to be used as a seller and also shrink it to stay young.

At that time there were residents who suspected one of the women who lived in the village, because she was an aged widow, her face was ordinary and she worked as a singer of a single organ. There was nothing strange, but after a few years the woman's face did not change, it looked even more beautiful, so the residents suspected that she was wearing susuk.

The accusation is also not without reason, because there was one of the residents who at that time accidentally passed the tomb and saw the woman was around the tomb of the virgin girl whose grave had been twice uncovered.

"Yes the problem is right or not, we also do not know" said the two fathers.

"That means it hasn't been proven right or not sir?"

Alia asked again, and the father again explained that since the girl's tomb was uncovered, her spirit became haunted, many residents saw the ghost of the girl. Residents also thought that the girl was wandering because her tomb had been dismantled without permission and disturbed the peace of the dead man. Since then, the people believe that a virgin girl who died on that day, her tomb must be guarded for seven days and seven nights.

"Oh so it is, yes I have paid to go home first sir"

"Yes be careful\-heart on the deck road"

Alia said goodbye to go home, she continued her journey. Along the way Alia still keeps remembering the story of the fathers earlier.

"Why do the shamans always use such absurd and immoral things? is my elder like that too?"

Alia continued to mutter inwardly and became unfocused on driving.

Suddenly there was a fairly large chicken running right in front of Alia's bike, he tried to brake suddenly and stopped so as not to hit her, but it was too late.

The chicken was already lying full of blood behind Alia, and suddenly a grandmother appeared and took the chicken.

"My cock is dead! you hit my chicken well, you yah!!"

The grandmother was parched when she saw the chicken die, but suddenly the grandmother was immediately angry at Alia for making her favorite chicken die.

"I'm not intentionally sorry"

"Neither intentionally! because\-for you my chicken is dead!!"

Alia became more panicked when the grandmother continued to scold her, Alia also tried to calm the grandmother and promised to pay her losses, the grandmother had refused and returned to scold Alia, Alia, but finally the grandmother was willing to accept the death of the chicken and wanted to ask for compensation to Alia.

"So this I happen to only have 35 thousand dollars, grandma would accept?"

"Actually my chicken will not be appreciated so much because he again angkrem\(watered his eggs\), but because you already want responsibility and do not run away yes already granny accepted!"

"Thank you so much, I'm sorry once again because I really didn't mean it"

"Other times if you bring the bike be careful\-care!"

Alia nodded and finally she was released from the granny's nag.

He continued his journey and tried to be more careful.

"Ah shit! because of thinking about the virgin pocong rope it would even hit the chicken I got it! how apes!"

Alia kept cursing along the way because she was so upset. He drove fast enough to get home and rest.
