Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
Misunderstand

Alia walks towards the classroom and accidentally crosses paths with Nafisah on the street. As usual, Nafisah was still staring at Alia with a look of hatred.

"Why should I see him anyway"

Alia muttered in her heart, she tried to avoid Nafisah because she did not want to get into a fight again, but Nafisah instead looked closer towards Alia and she could no longer dodge.

"Well, he's here again, it's really bad if you have to debate him" Alia still said in her heart.

Nafisah became closer and still stared at Alia sharply. He then handed a white envelope to Alia.

"What's this?" ask Alia.

"Read it!"

Then I left without saying any more words. Alia was curious about the envelope and immediately opened it. It turned out that the contents were an invitation letter to come to a religious organization consisting of all alumni from MA Ma'arif who attended the campus.

"Do I have to come? but if it does not come bad also the same senior, let alone this is the bond of the alumni of MA"

Alia suddenly remembered Irfan's words about the person who was trying to cover up Alia's aura. He had thought that it was Nafisah, but after meeting Alia did not feel anything strange with Nafisah, and Alia also felt that Nafisah seemed very unwilling to deal with her.

"So how could that person be Arrafi? but what's the purpose? I really have to ask him directly!"

Alia walked while continuing to think about the thing that was bothering her mind until she accidentally collided with her classmate in front of the classroom door.

"Woy walk look around dong! blind what!"

The person shouted loudly until everyone inside the classroom looked towards them.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it"

"Not intentionally said!"

Alia had already tried to apologize, but it seemed that she was still angry and went straight away leaving Alia who was still standing in front of the door.

His name is Meisya Kurnia, he is an alumnus of the city's favorite public high school, his attitude is a bit harsh and also rude, he is very prominent among other students since the beginning of entering, he was very popular among students, and now he became a classmate of Alia, a student majoring in English education.

"Hey, don't be bengong there, let's quickly enter the lecturer to come"

One of Alia's classmates tried to calm her down slowly.

"Have not been put to heart, he was indeed his attitude from long ago"

"You've known him a long time?" ask Alia.

"Yes, I went to high school, even one class"

Alia tried to ignore Meisya's rude attitude earlier, she just focused on taking the last class and after that she had to really find out the truth about the person who had covered her aura.

**********

finally the class was finished, the time that Alia had been waiting for since. Alia drops out of her class and tries to find Azam.

"Is this the religious faculty building where the? it's so far away!"

After a long tour, Alia finally found Azam who was walking towards the mosque.

"Hey Arrafi!"

Alia shouted as she approached Azam who was standing in front of the mosque.

"Ragasy? what're you? going to mushola? in the faculty building, there's no prayer?"

Azam was surprised to see Alia who came to him all the way to the campus building at the very back.

"I want it to be equally important!"

"What's important until you come here?"

Azam was very surprised when Alia asked that, he became misbehaved and even mispronounced, it also made Alia more convinced that Azam was the one who deliberately covered his aura.

"You don't have to worry anymore! I know where the pain is from!"

"What do you mean?"

Alia started to get emotional, her face already showed that she was upset and wanted to get a real answer from Azam immediately.

"Are you the one who deliberately covered my aura? tricking everyone's inner eyes so they can't see that I hurt yesterday was actually because it was disturbed by the tree creature?"

"It was me!"

Azam answered without any hesitation, but Alia became even more angry and her hand became a reflex so she slapped Azam's face.

"Crazy dad! I didn't think you were that bad! if yesterday I got to die in a giggle with the creature and no one knows how? because of you they all probably thought that I was just pretending to be sick!"

"But..."

Azam tried to explain but Alia just left without listening to anything else.

Nafisah accidentally sees Alia and Azam while talking, and she also sees when Alia slaps Azam. It also made him angry with Alia because Azam was still a person whom Nafisah liked very much.

Nafisah approached Azam who was trying to pursue Alia.

"When do you want?"

"When did you come?" asked Azam in shock.

"You don't fool Azam, it won't be useful!"

Azam was silent and speechless. Nafisah again reminded Azam not to waste his energy just to protect people who did not even want to see him.

"Sorry it's my business, I'm sorry Mba Nafis."

**********

Alia walked away with mixed feelings, her heart was furious when the person she started to respect instead let her down.

"Alia!"

Afi shouted as she saw Alia walking alone in a hurry.

"Where are you from? uh you crying?"

Afi approached Alia and accidentally saw her tears dripping down. Afi tries to calm down her best friend and invites her to go to the cafeteria to tell her what really happened.

"So what's wrong with you?"

"Crazy dad! I started to respect her, and thought she was a friend, but I really didn't think she wanted me to end up because of that tree thing!"

"Who?" ask Afi curious.

"He who is said to be a Sholeh man, his son a great scholar, and never the same hand touch the opposite sex, but the same I ever!"

Afi was confused how to react, she was sad to see her best friend cry, but she also wanted to laugh at the way Alia described the person who made her cry.

"Azam means?"

Alia just nodded, Afi was quite surprised when she heard Alia's statement about Azam, she thought that the real intent of Azam was not to harm Alia, especially when Afi saw the look in Azam's eyes that looked hatefully at Alia while in pain. The gaze was not directed at Alia, but at something that was with Alia.

But Afi also could not immediately speak her opinion now, because she already understood the nature of Alia, so she chose to be quiet for a while until her mood was calm.

Shortly after, Alia invited Afi to go home because there was no class anymore.
