Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Completely alone

Several months passed after the death of Grandma Wanda. Today was the last day Alia did the school exam.

That afternoon all students of class XII were gathered by the principal to celebrate the completion of the exam.

Long before this day Alia already got the info that her favorite music band will hold a concert in the city next door which is not far from the city of Alia.

After the event was over Alia immediately rushed home. She asked her mother for permission to watch her favorite band's concert, but Mia continued to refuse.

"Well, consider this a gift to finish my exam"

Alia continued to whine at her mother to be allowed to leave, coincidentally where the concert took place not far from the workplace of Mr. Aji at this time. Finally, Mia's mother allows Alia to leave, but she comes along and asks Alia to take her to work for Pak Aji because Mia's mother does not have the heart if Alia has to leave alone.

The completion of Isya Alia prayer quickly departed with Mia maam, the distance of the concert venue with the city of Alia about an hour. Alia immediately dropped off her mother at work, Mr. Aji.

Pak Aji's job is the building contractor, he is also responsible for guarding the night unfinished building. Coincidentally, he was building an elite Kindergarten for the children of middle and upper class people, every night he slept at the location and had a Sunday night off, mr. Aji sleeps in a wooden bed measuring 2x2 meters.

Before Alia goes, Mr. Aji interrogates her first, like who will watch with her and what time she goes home. Alia replied that she would meet her female friend at the entrance.

"This is the key to the gate here, later you come back here aja close, if to the house too far papa can not tell you alone"

Mr. Aji handed over some keys to Alia, he also reminded Alia not to go home beyond 12 pm. Alia nodded while receiving the keys.

"Papa want to nganterin mama go home first, because Sita at home alone, later about 11 pm papa come here again" said Mr. Aji.

Alia went to the concert location, while Pak Aji went to the house to deliver Mia's mother.

Alia was actually just leaving alone and did not meet anyone's friends at the location, but she was forced to lie so that her father would allow it because Alia had greatly admired this band since she was in the 6th grade of elementary school.

"Finally, I can watch the concert live!"

Alia stopped in the parking lot and was quiet for a long time, she was confused and afraid because she was alone in the crowd.

At 21:30 the concert began, Alia decided to enter even though she was alone. He chose to stand near the police on duty so that no one would disturb him.

So engrossed in enjoying the concert of his favorite band that he forgot the time. Alia looked at her watch and it was already 12 p.m.

"Gosh, it's late at night, I have to go home!"

Alia rushed away even though the concert was not finished yet. She was afraid that her papa had arrived at work and could not enter because the key was on her.

As soon as he got to work his father Alia stopped in front of the gate and looked around.

"Who is there? has papa arrived yet?"

Alia decided to enter and re-lock the gate.

He played a cell phone in the bed while he invited his papa to come.

"Well, it's 2 and a half, but why don't you come?"

Alia waited long enough for her papa to come but never came. Unknowingly, Alia fell asleep and slept in a wooden bed that only measured 2x2 meters in front of a spacious building that had not been completed alone.

Just a dim bulb and speaker that he deliberately kept on turning on so as not to be too quiet. While at the construction site there is no lighting at night.

Soon he woke up and looked at his watch.

"Astaghfirullah is 6 and a half? "

When he finished, he looked around outside the bed.

"I actually slept in this vast place all by myself all by myself?"

Alia still could not believe that if she spent the night at a construction site alone, that night her sleep was even very sound and did not experience any interference.

Because it was Sunday, the construction workers were all on holiday, only Mr. Aji came to check because he was the person in charge of the construction.

Alia sat in front of the bedeng under a large shady tree. At exactly 6 am Aji arrived there and greeted Alia who was sitting alone.

"Papa's coming too? I was waiting last night"

Alia grumbled in annoyance when she saw her papa coming.

"Sorry, last night I felt tired so decided to come here in the morning"

Alia also expressed her complaints all night waiting.

"You slept here last night alone?"

Pak Aji asked Alia and Alia just nodded. Alia became astonished when Mr. Aji asked the same thing up to three times.

"Don't you hear or see anything?" ask Mr. Aji.

"Why pah?"

Alia became even more curious because her papa was just a smile. He urged his father to tell him what he did not know.

Mr. Aji said that during the night vigil at the place he often heard the splashing sound of running water and women crying in the back of the building that was being built. People who lived nearby said that there used to be a well in the back of the building that had not been finished, and a woman died from jumping into the well.

"Oh, papa really does reward!"

Alia suddenly became frightened when she heard the story and tried not to trust her papa.

"Really! papa hears it for himself!"

Mr. Aji continued to assert that what he was telling me was true, he also said that there were people who lived around there to see Mr. Aji was walking around outside the building at midnight. The next morning the man reprimanded Mr. Aji and asked why midnight was walking back and forth in front of the building, but Mr. Aji was avoiding him, because that night it was clear that Mr. Aji was not there. Mr. Aji also confirmed that he had only arrived at the location at 7 this morning, but the man insisted that he saw Mr. Aji at midnight last night.

Pak aji was just smiling to hear the man talk, he knew very well that what was seen last night must not be him, but another figure that resembled Mr. Aji.

"So last night I actually slept in a place as big and as big as that alone?" Alia still felt disbelief.

"But I slept well and didn't hear anything?" alia.

"Thank God that you are not disturbed" said Mr. Aji with a smile.

"Thankfully I know now, just try if I knew last night, I would have preferred to go home even though it was past 12 pm" Alia said in her heart.

"Kok you're suddenly so scared of the guy, don't you usually see something like that?"

"What the fuck! not funny to know!"

"Oh yeah, why am I suddenly so scared?"
