Indigo Story: Half the Way

5

We're still in the cafeteria, I'm scared right now. But if I show my fear to Aunt Maya she'll worry.

"Tante was very sad when he heard the news Anya, but you're not too sad" I nodded lightly, it was nice to see Aunt Maya was here. For years I didn't meet him.

"Auntie actually met Vivin yesterday, and had a chance to talk about you two" I raised my eyebrows.

"Sorry aunt, you two mean?" I said politely. Aunt Maya laughed a little, then she hugged me slowly.

Suddenly the boy walked slowly towards us. "It's a good thing you're here, let's sit down and have someone to talk to".

I turned to see who Aunt Maya was talking to. When I looked, I was surprised. The same guy who was in the park and in class this morning.

"YOU!!" We both screamed at the same time. Aunt Maya, who saw us talking together, smiled "look at you guys deserve a match".

I was surprised that man too. "Ma I was betrothed by him. It's not wrong, ma?" Tight the man.

I turned my head and looked at him intently, "Brian you're polite with Anya, this isn't just a request from mama. But also from Anya's parents, including Aunt Vivin and Om mu it's Dion." I fell silent after hearing the words from Aunt Maya.

"But ma, I want to focus on basketball" Brian complained to Aunt Maya. Aunt Maya crossed both hands and looked at Brian sharply.

"Eh who also asked you to marry now, you guys are as desperate as a new marriage if you have graduated from college of course." Aunt Maya's brief.

I lowered my head, now I remember what Aunt Vivin and Om Dion meant. Why didn't they tell me earlier, if the story was like this I moved. But if I move how the fate of this school, complicated my fate.

"Eh mama wants to go, Brian has promised to take care of your soul mate at that time. Well because you already know, Anya you have to take care of yes. Mama heard from Om Dion he was often injured in this school, beware if he was injured. Mama will make you a rolled egg later!" Ketus Aunt Maya.

I was surprised to hear his words, why should I be taken care of. Haduh sucks this mah, his name om Dion hire a bodyguard for me. If his bodyguard is not papa, but this is a boy my age again.

Aunt Maya left from before us, she seemed to be heading to the teacher's room. Good that means I have to go to class, I quickly step out of the canteen.

But my fate of meeting this guy is really upsetting me. He followed me, and I had to stop.

"I'm sorry Brian can you walk without following me" I said. Brian folded his hands together, "of course the cave would follow elo, Lo it if the road is long because Lo is short. That's why playing basketball, let it be high" I patted my forehead, it's an insult. He said I was short, that he was tall.

"Ah don't have to follow me continue, lazy it feels. Going back to your class, I want to go back to my class" I said briefly.

A small wind blew beside my ear, a sign that someone was here.

"No help" Hendra's voice came from behind me. I looked slowly, and it turned out to be true. He appeared behind me.

"Eh Hendra since when did Lo make friends just as short?" Brian speaking. I immediately faced her, "you said I was short!" I'm upset.

But my angry intentions stopped, I remembered something. "Eh can you see Hendra?" My toot. Instead of being answered he just left, leaving me and Hendra alone.

No manners, don't say excuse me anymore. I stepped into the classroom at Hendra's back, looking worried as I climbed the stairs to the 3rd floor. It was as if something was being transported from the past.

×××××××

Today was so tiring, I was still confused by the IPS lessons. Even though I'm an IPS kid, and I know I'm a matchmaker.

As usual I waited on the school fence, to wait for the angkot. Lately the angkot is rarely passing by for some reason.

"Well" someone called my name from behind, I turned to see who was calling.

Adit walked towards me. "We will go home together" he said quickly. I shook my head, but it was as if he wasn't grinding my arm. Adit just pulled my hand away.

"Eh Dit, I'm riding the question" I kept repeating my words, but he wouldn't let go of my hand.

"Well I beg you to get in the car" Adit began to look pushy. I still shook my head while trying to let go.

"Let's get in my car, I promise I don't hurt" Adit said again. I still shake my head, why does he keep forcing me.

A hand suddenly hit Adit's hand, causing him pain. I saw who he was that helped me.

Brian, why should he. "Eh meddle, it's the cave business with Anya. Lo who is pretentious to follow" said Adit firmly.

"Sorry Lo nyakitin cave boyfriend" I was surprised when I heard Brian's words just like that. Girlfriend??, Since when.

"Well you've got a boyfriend, but I've already told you my heart" Adit looks disappointed. I looked down, feeling bad.

"Lo said Lo doang's heart, Anya did not say his heart. After all, Anya and I have been dating because we love each other" Brian gave an explanation that made Adit silent. But it's not just Adit I'm silenced too.

Adit got into the car, slamming the door of his car. Before long the windshield was open, "Well whenever I love you. And I'm gonna do anything to get Lo" Adit shuts the windshield back and the car goes fast.

I looked at the car walking, not long after. A white car headed towards us.

The car stopped in front of us, Brian walked over and opened the door. I thought he was going to get in but he stood up and looked at me, "short eh even bengong aja, let's get in the car" I gawked at his hearing.

Short said?. I was that short until I said it like that. The windshield of the car in front was open, I saw Aunt Vivin and Om Dion sitting in front.

"Well let's go, don't turn down your girlfriend." Aunt Vivin smiled broadly, why should I have this fate.

I walked into the car, followed by Brian. Our car was going somewhere.

"Cafe?" My speech. Aunt Vivin turned her head, followed by Dion. They smiled then looked at Brian, I took a glance at him.

"What?" Ask Brian flat. "That aunt and om mean now?" Brian continues. I was still confused as to what the three of them meant, which obviously we both dropped off at this cafe.

Brian walked first into the cafe, followed me from behind. "Short let's spit, long time to be a person" Brian sneered. I showed an annoyed face to him and he just chuckled a little.

"What are we here for?" I asked, Brian walked away. He didn't answer my question.

I'd rather wait outside than go inside with him. Suddenly both my eyes saw the woman walking in a plan across the street, she looked drunk.

A car suddenly emerged from the intersection quickly, the woman was about to be hit. I ran quickly to the woman's place, before I crossed my hand pulled by someone so I fell.

I ventured to see, and a surprising thing happened. The road was clean, there was no blood, the car was gone. I wonder if this woman is a ghost

"Short, even dumbly" I looked back. Both of my eyes were staring into pitch-black eyes, both of our eyes were met with a single look.

I stood up quickly, and walked over to the place of the woman I saw. My guess is true, I feel the smell of alcohol, and blood.

"Hey short instead of saying thanks, just leave. Now until my drink spilled again" I saw Brian, the drink spilled and not left in the bottle.

I walked over to Brian, and tried to help him but he refused.

"I'm sorry I changed the drink" I said trying to ease the anger. Brian looked at me with an annoyed face, but he stopped when his phone rang.

He walked away from me to pick up the phone, and I went back to that place. I began to feel the darkness around me, but unfortunately it was not yet dark it was getting more and more concentrated. Brian patted me hard on the shoulder, so I was in pain.

"Don't try to make trouble with your indigo ability, remember you're a beginner" Brian said flatly.

I turned my head the other way, Brian just shook his head because of my nature. "Eh short, you know I've helped you 3 times. So you have to reply" I gaped when I heard his words.

"You have to be my assistant" Brian said. I looked at her with an annoyed look, looking like torture being her Assistant.

"What makes you think I deserve to be your assistant, I don't really understand people like you" I said flatly.

"It is precisely because of that, you better accept it or I cancel our matchmaking. Do you want Aunt Vivin to be disappointed, what's more my mama and Om Dion" he replied quickly. I was upset with him, he made me have to choose his opinion.

"Yes, whatever" I said briefly, and replied with a small nod.

Brian held my hand but I patted, "I can walk by myself".

"Shortly look ahead, Dion's car is walking here" I turned to his words. Dion's car was walking slowly here, I was silent.

The car stopped right in front of us, the windshield slowly opening. "Hey how's your little show going?" Dion asked with a smile.

I smiled a little, "ok kok om" I said a word that is inversely proportional to the heart. 'bad'.

×××××××

Arriving home, I immediately rested on the bed. Like lazy to wake up and remember the incident earlier, which he obviously told me to be his assistant. But there was no other way, I suddenly remembered something.

"Brian could see Hendra, he knew him too. What that means is Hendra and Brian had met before and Brian was actually able to see them"

Brian POV's

Tired of it, why also I get a mate like short. He is a bitch, likes to take action suddenly without thinking first. What else after I found out that she has Indigo abilities as well, it's the same as me nurturing her.

It's amazing how Adit, why he wants to be like a girl like Anya. Ah forget it, at least he wants to be my assistant.

I walked towards my bedroom, as the sound from the living room shocked me. I heard my mother's voice and a voice I had never heard before.

I peeked out of the wall and listened to their conversation.

"I'm sorry I never gave you any information!" mama confirmed to the man. The man looked displeased, he clasped his hand firmly. So that my mother was in pain, I ran and immediately hit the man. Making the man fall and look at me with those eyes, I smelled a very pungent smell of alcohol on him.

The man stood up then walked slowly towards the door, he rubbed his bloody lips and immediately left.

A warm hug just came from behind, I hugged my frightened mother and let out her tears.

Mama stopped hugging me then walked slowly to the sofa, she sat down with a worried-looking face.

"Who is she, sorry I heard you say" I ventured to ask, my mother turned to me. Her tears still flowed down her face.

"He was a friend of Mom and Anya's mother when we were in High School, he was our coach. They used to date, but she loves her mom. And when mom refused her love and married your dad instead, he got angry and kept terrorizing your mom and dad until he lost your sister in the womb. Because of that, your papa took him to the police station. After a few years he was free again, instead of being good. He changed his feelings for his mother Anya, until he heard that her mother Anya was married. The devastation was felt again, he began to terrorize the Anya family. And to this day, he's been searching for information about them" she concluded. I can't talk anymore, I don't know that short has a very close life threat.

"Brian can you help mama, protect Anya. She's the only child left of my best friend's family. Aunt Vivin is only the adopted daughter of Anya's grandmother, while her brother has long since disappeared" Mama said a sentence that made me depressed.

I promised to obey my mother's wishes for papa, there's no other way. I could only nod and then stand up and hug my mother, I love my mother so much. She was so steadfast, losing her husband, my father.

I walked towards the room, leaving my own mother in the living room. I knew he needed to be alone right now, so I could only hug him once and then go to the room.

Arriving at the room I immediately threw my body on the mattress, then looked at the ceiling of the room. Soon I closed my eyes, and felt an eternal darkness.

××××××

This morning I had breakfast faster than usual, the reason was only one. Lazy breakfast especially alone, mama will leave early so he does not eat breakfast.

I went with Om Dion to school, he was going to his friend's house. Because my school was in line with her friend, so we left together.

Arriving at school, it felt very lonely. I walked up the stairs, lucky that there were no female fans. I'm sorry, not that I don't want to be arrogant, but being like myself is a bitch. Imagine me going to the cafeteria, they're close to making me claustrophobic.

I continued walking until I stopped on the second floor when I saw someone standing staring at the corner table, I intended to get closer because I felt familiar with him. She looked the other way, and now I saw her face.

Both of my eyes opened wide when I saw her, "Anya?".
