Behind the Eyes of INDIGO
It's time

Alia walked towards the garden and sat under a fairly shady tree. He tried to read a book so that he could get rid of the feelings that were still not careless.

Alia's hand accidentally hit her injured chin, and she felt pain slashed because the wound was still bleeding.

"I have to find a handsaplast immediately so as not to bleed continuously"

When Alia got up from her seat, Irfan suddenly came over.

"Where are you going? uh is that why it's bleeding?"

Irfan immediately asked when he saw Alia's wounds.

"I want to buy handsaplast"

"Oh you just wait here, let me buy it"

Irfan immediately went and told Alia to wait for him at that place. Alia sat back and waited.

Shortly after Irfan returned, he gave the handsaplast to Alia and immediately attached to the wound.

Irfan asked what happened until Alia could get hurt like that. Alia finally told him all the strangeness she had experienced with Irfan.

Irfan also tried to understand because he had seen that Alia's body was surrounded by dark black smoke. Irfan tried to continue comforting Alia and dispelling her no-no thoughts.

That same day, Irfan tries to express his feelings to Alia, Irfan asks Alia if she wants to be his girlfriend or not.

Alia was obviously shocked to hear the statement, her heart was getting more and more unsettled, because since the first time she saw Irfan, Alia had indeed harbored a taste for him. Alia's lips couldn't say anything other than yes.

Since that day, they became more frequent spending time together, Alia felt more comfortable because maybe only she was able to understand about things that were often experienced by Alia.

**********

One week passed, and every day that Alia lived was still filled with almost the same oddity, Alia even had the nickname strange woman, Alia, there are even those who say that Alia has gone crazy, especially Meisya who looks very hate Alia.

Alia never thought about the words of her classmates, she just tried to stay focused in her lectures.

Apart from Irfan, Alia never told the strangeness she experienced in others. The last few days Alia had barely even met Afi again due to her busy college schedule and somewhat distracted mind.

*****

That afternoon Afi had just finished college, she intended to meet Alia because it had not met for a few days, she only heard from Alia's classmates that lately Alia began to behave strangely.

Afi walked towards the education faculty building. While on the road he saw Alia who was walking quickly. Afi tries to follow her and turns Alia to stop under a Cherry tree. Alia sat under the tree with blank eyes.

Afi was worried that she would come to Alia and call her.

"Why are you here?"

Afi talks to Alia, but she just keeps quiet and looks like an unconscious person.

"Alia answer! what are you doing here!"

Afi shouted while patting Alia on the shoulder, and then Alia realized, she was like a person who was shocked because she was sitting under a tree.

"How come I'm here anyway?"

"My guy who asked me that you were here! even back to asking"

"I'm..."

Alia was silent, she remembered very well that when she came out of the class she walked to the parking lot to pick up the bike, but why now it was even under a tree.

Afi also thought that something was wrong with his best friend's behavior.

Shortly after, Irfan came and invited Alia to come home.

"Eh Alia, who is she?"

"Huh boyfriend?"

"Yes, we were together a week ago"

"Last week?"

"Yes, tomorrow I tell you, now I go home first"

Alia immediately left Afi alone, she headed to the parking lot to go home with Irfan.

Afi now believes in the words of Alia's classmate about her strange behavior.

Afi saw Alia and Irfan who started to go away, she felt very worried about the state of her best friend.

Unintentionally Afi also saw Azam who was walking towards the parking lot, he immediately called and approached him.

"Azam wait!"

"Eh Afi, why?"

"Some days I've seen you just shut up, aren't you going to help me help Alia?"

"It's not so but..."

"Oh, is it because Alia is already with that senior, so you want to hands off?"

Azam just fell silent, he felt very shocked when he found out that Alia had been dating Irfan. Afi who saw Azam's expression felt guilty for telling him that.

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

"No papa"

"But I'm really worried about Alia"

Afi recounted the incident that he saw earlier to Azam, even Afi himself began to think that Alia's mind had indeed been disturbed.

"Calm down, I'm still trying to suppress that aura, and I think Irfan is still trying to protect Alia"

"But when? until Alia's really crazy? oh I see now, why does Alia tell me that people who have been disturbed by the same creature will not last long here, even to the point of going crazy"

"I'm not gonna let that happen"

Azam then left Afi who was still standing near the tree.

"Why am I left again!"

He left and intended to go home. Azam suddenly returned to the tree and tried to pluck the branches of a small tree. At first it was very difficult, but after several tries Azam finally managed to get the tree branch.

Azam immediately took the tree branch home and placed it on the study table in his room.

After the Isya prayer, Azam did not sleep at all, he continued to recite the prayers very solemnly.

After a long time Azam prayed, suddenly the branch of the tree began to move, the twig fell right in front of Azam and appeared a very terrible wood creature, a very terrible creature, it was that creature that always disturbed and hurt Alia.

Azam was still focused on praying, while the creature was standing right in front of Azam, some maggots coming from the figure's face began to fall and wriggle on Azam's prayer mat, he sat down and tried to finish his prayer.

A very foul smell began to fill the room because the figure of the wooden creature looked very angry and wanted to immediately pounce on the man who was sitting praying in front of him.

The creature began to stretch out its long hand in a circle to Azam's neck and quickly immediately suffocated, the chirp continued to grow louder and more and more maggots were falling, even starting to creep into Azam's clothes, but Azam still did not budge and remained focused on the prayers he was reading.

Meanwhile at Alia's house, suddenly her body started to feel hot and like it was burning, her whole body started to blush even like a blister due to the heat.

Alia screamed in pain and made Ms. Mia panic, Mr. Aji tried to recite some prayers to ease her pain, but it was useless.

Ms. Mia finally told Mr. Aji to call ustadz in her village. Without lingering, Mr. Aji immediately set out to invite the ustadz to help Alia who kept screaming in pain.
