Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Cherry

That morning, Alia woke up early. She prepares to go to her new university and do final registration, after saying goodbye to her Mama, Alia immediately goes to Afi's house to invite her to leave together.

"Eh, aren't you ready yet? it's late this afternoon!" alia grumbled at Afi who was still sitting casually in her room.

"Yes patiently get ready!"

Ten minutes passed, Afi finished preparing and they immediately left after saying goodbye to Afi's parents.

After traveling for about an hour, they both arrived at their destination.

"Is this really through here?" alia asked who was astonished because she saw the situation around her that was so quiet.

"Well, I asked my friend" replied Afi.

Alia and Afi arrived at the parking lot, and there were already many motorcycles parked there.

"Where is Al going?" asked Afi while looking around.

"We find the rector first, get there"

Once they reached the destination, they both went straight into the general test room, namely health checks and others.

After completion Afi went directly to the administration room to complete some payments because he entered through the public line, while Alia went to the next room to submit some files that are needed.

*****

"Have Al finished?" asked Afi who had been waiting for Alia since.

"Udah nih, sorry well long, because it had to make this a bit complicated"

"No papa, yes we have come home yuk"

"Come, I also have to rush to take care of the letters again"

Alia and Afi immediately rushed to go home. It had been almost a month since Alia returned to the big stone place, and since then she had never again seen or been visited by the female figure whom she always referred to as the Rose. In fact, Alia has never seen again this month and also haunted by the subtle creatures who usually always follow her.

"Eh Alia, next week we leave together again well" said Afi while getting off the bike Alia.

"That next week, huh? I haven't even read the invitation yet"

"I read it just waiting for you, it's 10 in the morning"

"Oh okay, I'll pick you up again, yeah I'm home first yeah"

Alia immediately turned on her motorbike and went home.

*****

One week later...

That morning Alia was still busy ironing her favorite green shirt.

"Alia breakfast was 8 o'clock" cried Mia.

"Yes very much still.." Still busy finishing the iron.

Twenty minutes later, Alia came out with her costume.

She wore a long black skirt and her favorite green denim shirt, and she also wore a plain green pashmina that matched her shirt. Not to forget he also pinned a small rose-shaped bross on his chest.

"Let's have breakfast! it's half-nine you're late" Ms. Mia rambled back.

"Yes yes..."

Alia sat down at the table and started breakfast. Around nine o'clock, less than a quarter of Alia started her motorbike and walked slowly.

Alia also did not forget to pick up Afi first and leave together.

"Geez your tenacious rich green-green!" babble Afi.

"Yee sirik aka you!"

After they finished mocking each other, Alia urged Afi to leave immediately because the time was already noon.

They arrived at the place at exactly ten in the morning and it turns out the parking lot has been filled with vehicles from other prospective students.

"Wah it turns out that many have come" said Afi.

"Sst let's sit down!"

Alia chose a seat that was at the back and Afi also followed suit.

Alia began to look around, nothing strange at first glance, yet she felt somewhat uncomfortable with the place.

Meanwhile from a distance Azam looked at Alia with a feeling of admiration because today Alia's appearance looks different.

Time continued to run, minute by minute, hour by hour passed until the sound of the dhuhur Adhan had been heard.

The organizers began to speed up their event because the time was up.

Shortly after the event was finished but Alia decided to go to the mosque first before returning home.

Alia accidentally met Nafisah who was also about to enter the mosque.

"Gosh, he turned out to be here too? how could I not know!" muttered Alia in the heart.

"Al! kok bengong si! let's pray hunt first just go" said Afi.

"Eh yes"

After completing the dzuhur prayer, Alia and Afi walked to the parking lot casually because there was no longer a schedule of activities. The atmosphere around the campus was quiet again because it was still a semester break and some prospective students who came with them also started to leave.

"Well, the cherry tree! low again"

Suddenly Afi went away from Alia and approached a Cherry tree in the park before parking. The tree was very shady and fruitful, without a second thought Afi immediately picked some ripe fruit and dark red.

"Afi don't!" shout Alia.

"Why? it's so sweet! you wanna try?" he held out his hand holding some cherry.

"Religious. Let's go!"

Alia did not say much, she immediately walked over quickly and left Afi.

"Did I see wrong? I don't remember seeing that tree!" Alia continued muttering to herself while walking.

"Alia wait!" Afi ran after Alia but she just kept quiet.

"You gave it.sik!" Alia spoke while turning her body and was shocked when she saw a grandfather standing under the Cherry tree earlier.

Alia immediately turned around and tried to look at the tree again, but this time she saw nothing.

"Why you?" ask Afi wonder.

"No, not papa. Let's walk the street"

Alia tried to stare at the tree again, but there was no one near the tree, but she was sure she saw a grandfather standing under the tree, until finally he thought that he might just look wrong.

"Astaghfiullah!!" Alia was very surprised as she flipped over and saw Azam standing in front of her.

"Why is that surprised? I've seen a ghost!" azam said casually.

"Yes, look at the ghost! it's the ghost in front of me so I'm shocked!" alia said with annoyance and immediately left Azam.

"Eh... Am I a ghost?" muttered Azam.

Azam was trying to find out what Alia really saw earlier. And sure enough, he also saw a figure of grandfather standing under the Cherry tree. The grandfather had white hair with shoulder length and was dressed shabby, he looked like he was staring at Alia.

*****

"Who was Al?" ask Afi.

"Temen one school" Alia replied with a chuckle.

"Oh, kirain your boyfriend"

"What! there's no!"

Alia and Afi arrive at the parking lot and immediately leave the place, a place that will be their destination every day.
