BLUE METAVERSE
WHAT HAPPENED TO RONY?
Amar and Azka are both shocked to learn there is gambling behind the rise of E-Sport which is loved by the public as a polarized online game. Not only in the big city, the children of Jampang have been exposed to the rise of the universe war game played by his cousin's brother. It is not gambling that unsettles Amar, but the impact on the safety of the soul of his beloved cousin. Amar believes Faiz knows very well what is best for him. Faiz definitely intends to get out of the world of professional E Sport to rid himself of gambling that pollutes the sportiness of that game.
Although somewhat mischievous and stubborn, Faiz understood what was or was not permissible in religion. It is impossible to dare to break the rules of Sharia. Gambling is illegal and logically people will not get rich from gambling. Said eyang haji Rhoma Irama, lying that gambling can make people rich. The promises bookies are packed so slickly to psychologically influence the person is just a lie. Even if there are rich from gambling, it is only the city of judges. Occasionally players can win gambling and feel rich. But it was actually the beginning of his bankruptcy and defeat.
“Kak Faiz is still a contract so pro player?”
“I have already cancelled the contract. As of today I am not a pro player anymore.”
“Really?”
“I never lied to you, Mar.”
There was a look of anxiety on Amar's face that was usually calm like a small lake water that did not ripple at all. He looked at Faiz very closely as if he wanted to show that he was afraid of losing. What if the bookie holds a grudge against his cousin's sister? Pimply. With his decision to enter the world of e-sport, more and more problems are potentially life-threatening.
“Match on live streaming yesterday the face of Faiz's brother was clearly highlighted on camera. I'm sure many people already know who Baby F really is.” said Amar slowly and carefully.
Faiz. “Really?”
Amar nodded confidently.
Faiz immediately removed as much carbon dioxide as possible through a loud bang. Waste gas which is the result of cell metabolism in the body it floats then merges with other air elements around it. A moment later inhaled as much oxygen as possible filled his lungs. Faiz immediately realized his position was now prone to problems.
“Maybe in the future there will be danger lurking me, Mar. I have made the big bookies lose a lot. First I rejected the fraudulent cooperation in the singles tournament. Although I was eventually defeated by their conspiracy, but there must be some grudge left over as a result of me rejecting their offer. Second, I tried hard to win in a team match when some of my teammates seemed to have been paid to lose. That big bookie threatened me again for his defeat last night."
“Threatening?”
“So early in the morning there have been many DMs at IG Rony Fa. Contains various. There's congratulations, challenges and threats."
“Please fake that account.”
“I did have the intention to throw it.”
Goody. No need to play social media anymore. Their families do not need social climbing. “There's more they know about sister?”
“That gambling city once wrote me a message and called me. I don't know where they got the number. I was astonished too. I never shared my number with anyone."
“Quick discard and change number!"
"Where's brother?” Amar immediately raised his hand. He is increasingly curious about the virtual life of his cousin sister.
Faiz took the device inside the sling bag he was wearing and handed it to Amar. Indeed, since this morning there have been some threatening congratulations in the chat box on his account. Faiz
don't care much about it. Angry losers are common. Some are revealed directly during online matches by cursing. There are also hatters who only dare to attack by using fake social media accounts.Fans character and hatter it all sorts. Faiz understood and responded in passing. Fans are important to support a career. Without them there is no way Faiz won a lot of money in the E-Sport industry.
Amar immediately grabbed the device belonging to his cousin's sister. He immediately took his cousin's right hand and placed his thumb on the fingerprint sensor. Without saying much he opened the contents of the device.
Amar was surprised to find so many messages in the chat box that mostly contained congratulations. There are hundreds. In the notification alone there are 347 messages that have not been read. He did not read one message at a time that sounded the same. Waste time. Just get a few messages that you read quickly. What stood out most was a message that had many exclamation points, was threatening, and was written in large, blood-red letters. In addition there are missed calls also from unknown numbers.
“CONGRATULATIONS, BABY F!!! YOU'VE MANAGED TO MAKE OUR BOSS LOSE. WAIT FOR REPRISALS FROM US.” It contained one of the messages that pitched a threat to Faiz who had not been opened by the owner of the device.
“Many fans congratulated, Brother.”
“Where? If in DM IG mah ordinary.”
“Not. It's in the chat box. Brother put your phone number information on social media?”
“No. The phone number used to create an account on IG is fake phone number. It was activated the same Mang Rony but then the number was left charred.”
“Mang Rony is no longer a teacher next semester, Kak.” explained Amar very carefully.
Faiz immediately looked at Amar with a face of disbelief, “Why?”
“She was accepted at one of the big multinational IT companies in Jakarta.”
Huh huh? Why can't Mang Rony tell him that he moved to work in Jakarta? Not-don't Mang Rony fired because it is considered to direct students to become dissidents and addicted to playing games. Faiz felt guilty. Not the guilty Rony man, but the stubborn one. Though mang Rony has repeatedly warned himself not to often skip and violate the rules of pesantren for the sake of online games. Really Faiz is sorry. His decision this time sacrificed a good teacher, intelligent and very competent in the field of computers. Pesantren will be difficult to find a replacement for Mang Rony. Even if there might be a qualification of his expertise is under the mang Rony.
“Mang Rony fired because of me?”
“Ndon't know. Abah just said Mang Rony went to Jakarta for a better career. His salary in the world IT company was definitely huge. Career opportunities are better.”
Mang Rony is not a money-hungry type of person. If indeed the intention of working in Jakarta, it should have been a long time ago, Mang Rony could make it happen. Faiz knew that Rony would rather be an educator. Faiz quickly snatched his car from Amar's hand and tried to call Rony's mang number. Many times he squeezed the picture of the green phone. There was no answer, except for the voice of the telephone operator who informed him that the number was out of range. Please try a few more moments.
Ten times Faiz tried to call Rony's mang number, but still got the same answer from the operator or directly diverted to an automatic voicemail. Long-spirited. He slammed the device on the grass.
“Number can not be reached?”
“Nggak.”
Tang ting tang ting's. Since then the sound of ringing notification of direct messages or DM and chat boxes sounded timid. Faiz doesn't care. Now he just wants to know how his computer teacher is doing. Within minutes thousands of numbers sent him messages that were mostly sure to be congratulatory. Chat box is full.
Maddened. Where do the fans know
his phone number. He never published his phone number and identity. Whose job is this? As Faiz knew his phone number was only mister Yamagata and Boni. Is this one of them? Or this is the act of a bookie who claimed to be one of the big fans who had called him to offer bribes to lose in the final game of the individual universe. Faiz was very upset. He immediately turned off his clothes and went back to sleep on his back in the grass.
The sun is starting to rise high. The heat starts to greet the skin. But the cool mountain breeze always fan the body so as not to feel the hot sun. No more birds passing through the clouds. The sky is bright blue. It was supposed to be a beautiful day, but there were a lot of new problems that made Faiz miserable.
“Why doesn't Mang Rony know me, Mar? Is he angry with me because I insist on being a professional e-sport player? He must've been fired because of me."
"No need to su'udzon, brother. Mang Rony got a better job for his career in Jakarta" said Amar encouraging Faiz who was overcome with guilt.
"When do you want to singgalin pesantren mang Rony pamit same for you?”
“Pamit is good to Abah and mama. We are also hammered. Aren't you, Ka?”
“Iya. Azka was given the fash disk shape of a cow as her memento.”
“Cash? Why mang Rony is not at all happy with me huh?” Increasing the number of questions that gathered in Faiz's mind. Azka who was not too familiar was given a farewell memory, why Faiz who had been his favorite student was not told anything.
What's the matter? His busyness in the world of E-Sport made him lose a lot of important information. Faiz realized just how selfish he was. His time during this time was only spent on training, competing and serving the wishes of the fans in part
large people who are outside the circle of friendship and kinship with him. Other people are noticed, while close people are neglected. Such is the result of too much being in cyberspace, approaching the far but distancing the close.
His concentration on the world of E-sport has left him blind to life around. Faiz regrets. Moreover, his involvement in the world must intersect with big bookies who from era to era still berdpleng business in the world of sports. Faiz will definitely have new problems that will definitely make his life more troublesome.
“Try asking the exact reason why Mang Rony suddenly decided to work in Jakarta on Satya's father, Kak. He likes to ask people why they decide. Mang Rony must be happy with him.”
Alright. Faiz will ask Dad.
