I'm Indigo
5.The Eye-Unattentioned Creatures


This afternoon is the schedule of teaching at the mosque.I teach with other children in this village, including Rifat.We have made a pact to go to the mosque together.


The distance of my house to the mosque is about 400 meters.My house is located at the end of the village, there are only seven houses nearby, including his house Rifat.If you want to go to the mosque we have to pass a quiet road about 150 meters, there are only seven houses nearby,there will only be a few houses in the can.After that it must pass again a quiet road about 100 meters which on the right side of the road there are very large and shady mango trees.Be that after that we enter in a settlement that has been crowded by the homes of residents and is not far from the mosque.Desaku is indeed not too much population, there are only 35 heads of families in this village.


"My mother went to the mosque first to teach ya."my friend to the mother who was in the kitchen.


"Yes son, be careful if you want to cross the road." said mother.


"Every boss mom." I replied as I lifted my thumb.After saying goodbye to mother I immediately went out to Rifat who was chatting with grandma on the porch.


"Rifat let's go."I asked after being in front of Rifat.


"Come on." replied Rifat while standing up.


"Sir, we go first." - I kissed Grandma's hand, followed by Rifat.


"Yes be careful on the road." replied the grandmother.


We immediately went to the mosque.There was nothing strange when we left.We arrived at the mosque cross paths with ustazd Fahri who also just came.We were immediately guided by ustadz Fahri to teach.


An hour later, we had finished teaching.After that, we performed the Maghrib Prayer.After praying maghrib I and Rifat immediately rushed home, we went home with Asti and Lani who was our home in the same direction.


We walked using a small flashlight held by Rifat.He deliberately brought the flashlight every time we went to the mosque.For our lighting if returning from the mosque.


We went hand in hand.Rifat was at the front of Asti, then Lani and I were in the back row.


While passing through the quiet streets that had mango trees suddenly I felt a cold chill hit my body.Just in front of the mango tree I heard people whistling from the top of the tree,I thought Rifat and the others heard the whistling too, but they did not hear it.


"Am I the wrong one to hear.??"I muttered while walking a little faster, followed my friends.However, only a few meters I passed the tree ,and as I looked back and looked up at the mango tree, I saw a great ape whose eyes were red,sitting perched on one of the branches of the mango tree.She smiled at me while showing two sharp fangs.Badanku feel weak, I can not move, my body immediately became stiff.Almost I fainted, I felt faint,if only Lani hadn't rebuked me.


"Why are you, huh.??"asked Lani to me while following my gaze to the mango tree.Rifat and Asti also stopped while looking at me.


"No papa, Lani." answered me who began to move my body again.Seems like they can not see the monkey, it means they do not look scared, like me.


"If so let's continue the path."Said Rifat who began to walk again, followed by Asti and Lani.Akupun soon after them.


We arrived in front of Asti and Lani's house.


"We go first." said Asti and Lani while waving to Me and Rifat.


After that, Rifat and I continued our journey.We will pass through again the quiet streets filled with banana gardens owned by Mr. Lurah.


I who began to feel the same air when passing the mango tree earlier, immediately held Rifat's hand tightly.


"Why are you, huh.??"from earlier I noticed you were like a fear that, I'd seen a ghost." said Rifat.


"I'm not papa, Fat." I replied


still holding Rifat's hand.


Suddenly from the direction of the banana tree I heard a voice like a person jumping up and down.


"Duk duk duk."the sound of the voice.


Rifat and I looked at each other.It turns out this time Rifat heard the voice.


"Fat you heard that voice right.??"ask me about Rifat.


"Yes I heard, Yes." replied Rifat


"Duk dukduk duk." That voice again.


I tightened my grip on Rifat.


Rifat immediately directed the flashlight to the origin of the sound.


Rifat and I spontaneously froze where we were standing.


"Help me, please open my leash. "tow the pocong while jumping at us.


Rifat and I read the prayer we know.


"Help me." said the pocong getting closer to us.


Out of nowhere, suddenly my body can move again.I immediately pulled Rifat's hand and ran as fast as it could.


"Po pocongg.." yelled at me and Rifat who started running away from the pocong.


We finally got to my front door.


Rifat and I were still bored from running.


"Why are you guys.??"tanya Tari who was hanging on a cherry tree in front of my house.


"Let's see a ghost." I told Tari.


"Ohh pantesan, your faces are so pale."tutur Tari.


"Who are you talking to, huh.??asked Rifat who was astonished at me.


"No one, Fat." I replied to Rifat.


I forgot it turns out Rifat can not see the Dance, Dance is an invisible creature.


"But Rifat can see the pocong. Why can't she see in Dance now." I said in my heart.


"Yes, if that is how I entered my house first, Yes." said Rifat as he walked into the courtyard of his house.


"Yes, Fat." answered me who also walked into the house, which was followed by the Dance from behind.


"Assalamualaikum." I said when I entered the house.


"Wa'alaikumssalam" replied the father and grandmother who were in the living room.


"Eh you have come home Nasha, when the new father wants to pick you up." said father while receiving my hand.


"Yes dad." answered me who greeted grandma again.


"Sorry Nasya, you know, the father just sent the corn to the city."


"No papa kok dad, I also went home with Rifat earlier, so not alone really" I told dad.


I immediately went into my room and changed my clothes.


"Where have you been all day.??"I asked Tari who was sitting on the edge of my bed.


"Hehe's got a little business, yeah."Answer Dance while grinning at me.


"You've been like a boss with a lot of business, Tar" I said in response to Tari's reply.


"Eh you know not Tari, that's why I saw a great ape in the mango tree on the lonely road,keep the canine teeth long that.Yang even worse I was the same Rifat met the pocong in the banana garden belonging to Pak lurah."ujarku recounted the incident that I experienced earlier.


"You just calm down, they won't bother you if we don't ngegusik them." replied Tari."That's not how much Nasya, there are still many more that you will meet in the future." continued Tari again.


"Hufftt, I think I have to prepare my mentality to be better prepared with everything in front of him" I said with a sigh.


"Dari, I also want to ask why Rifat can see the pocong earlier, but he can't see the great ape on the mango tree.??"ask me about dance.


"When you saw the pocong, you were holding Rifat's hand.??"tanya Dance.


"Yes Tari, I did hold Rifat's hand earlier, kok you know anyway.??i wonder.


"Every time you see something that is invisible to the eye, keep holding someone else's hand, that person will definitely see what you see as well."Sya dance told me.


"Ohh that's it." I replied as the mangosteen responded to the story of Dance.
