Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
How shocking

The next day Alia left for college as usual, she left at half-seven from home. Starting from that day the lecture schedule has begun to be crowded and also the activities of organizations begin to look for their new members.

That morning Alia left with Afi, but because they were different faculties so they both separated in the parking lot. Alia walks towards her class, as well as Afi.

When Afi was walking alone, he accidentally saw Azam who was also walking alone. Without a second thought Afi went straight to him because he was very curious about the truth about what Alia was talking about yesterday.

"Hey Azam!"

Azam stopped his steps and turned his head towards Afi while recalling.

"You... group mates I pas ospek right? if it's not wrong, is it Afi?"

Afi nodded confirming Azam's words.

"Oh, why?"

Azam was curious because suddenly Afi approached him, but they were not very familiar and had only been a group friend.

"I want to ask you!"

"What do you want to ask?"

"On Alia"

Azam was surprised when he heard Alia's name, his expression immediately turned to be a bit nervous and confused, why Afi suddenly wanted to ask about Alia.

"Alia... ragasy?"

Azam tried to convince Alia that Afi meant another Alia. Afi nodded, her face was very serious and somewhat scary as it looked annoyed as well.

"You know him?"

"I'm his best friend, since I was on Mts"

"Well, what do you want to ask?"

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Azam was silent, he was confused to answer what because Alia alone now might already hate him so much, so it was useless if he told the truth.

"What purpose does it mean?"

"Azam, no need to pretend anymore, I know you must have a purpose, and I think what I said to Alia was a bit wrong"

Azam still had a tongue and did not want to give the real reason, but Afi was indeed a person who was very good at digging information until finally Azam wanted to tell the truth.

"I just wanted to protect him, and cover up his identity"

"But that's not what makes Alia look like she's just sick and she could die in a giggle without anyone knowing, right?"

"That's actually I've been secretly suppressing the aura of the creature that's bothering him, and it'll ease his pain"

Afi was still focused on hearing Azam's explanation. Azam also said that he could only suppress the aura of the creature in half, so the creature could still hurt Alia especially when Alia was near the nest, the old Cherry tree. He also said that it would be useless if everyone knew about Alia's ability, because even the lecturer who said he had knowledge of kebatinan would not be able to help anything, so Azam deliberately covered it so that no one would intend to harm or disturb him.

"But why don't you throw the creature out so you won't bother Alia again?"

"It's not that easy, his age is old enough, and his aura is very strong"

"So that day you were in pain because you were fighting a creature that was bothering Alia?"

Azam just nodded.

"I'm still figuring that out, too, for a while you don't tell Alia yet"

"But it..."

"Let him hate me, when the time comes I'll explain myself."

Azam then went and left Afi, Afi was still standing in that place while grumbling why Azam did not tell him directly.

**********

Around 4 pm Alia just finished college, she remembered that yesterday got an invitation from Nafisah to attend a religious organization.

Alia calls Afi and says that she cannot go home together because there are still activities, so Alia tells Afi to go home by herself first.

Alia walked towards the religious organization room located in the religious faculty building.

In his heart he still thought about how to deal with Azam, because yesterday he was angry with him. It made Alia become heavy hearted to come into the activity.

"Hey Alia"

"Eh brother Irfan"

"You just came? come on, let's get in, it's all coming"

Alia walked slowly and entered the room, sure enough, everyone who was invited had already come into the room, including Azam and Nafisah.

About five hours and a half, everything went quite smoothly, because they were all from the same MA so they did not feel foreign anymore.

Without feeling the Maghrib prayer began to reverberate, activities were stopped and all members went to the mosque to perform Maghrib prayers.

After the completion of Maghrib prayers all members returned to the room, but Alia chose to sit briefly in front of the mosque because there was still a little time before the activity was continued.

Alia picks up her phone, she calls her Mama to tell her she's coming home late. After that he got up from his seat and started walking towards the activity room. In the street, Alia's attention is distracted by a room that is tightly closed and looks very quiet.

Curious, Alia tried to get close, and she started touching the doorknob, trying to open it and looked slightly into the room but suddenly "Cetaakkk".

The wooden bracelet that was coiled in Alia's left hand broke off and the grain of the wood was strewn across the floor. Alia tried to pick it up one by one, there was one item rolling into the room, and Alia tried to pick it up.

"Astaghfiullah!!! what'sthat?"

Alia saw something beside the wooden grain, like a head of someone lying on the floor, Alia tried to open the door wider to see if anyone had fainted there, but when the door was wide open she was again surprised that the head had no body, shortly after Alia saw it clearly, the head twisted and exposed her blood-soaked face to Alia.

"Goddessa! what's that!"

Without a second thought Alia instantly closed the door and immediately moved away from the place. He walked quickly with a pale face and a trembling body.

"The religious faculty buildings, they all learned about religion, but why is that..."

Alia spoke to herself, she was still very shocked and could not believe what she saw just now. As soon as she reached the activity room, Alia immediately sat down and said nothing.

The activity was completed at about 8 p.m. Alia rushed to leave the place immediately and headed to the parking lot, but in her mind was still filled with the face of the head lying earlier.

"Duuuhhh this is the brain why!! gini nights do not even want to stop remembering that last"

Alia's feeling became Karuan, instantly she felt afraid to go home alone because her mind was still unstable.

Alia saw Irfan was walking towards the parking lot, and without a second thought she immediately asked Irfan to drive her home.
