Chapter 2: The Hacker?

CHAPTER 2

A hacker?

{}

It has become a special tradition of every university and high school in Indonesia to hold Student Orientation Period activities, including in the Blue Campus. Activities carried out to introduce campus environments, lecturers, and introductory seminars of study units attended by new students usually last three days.

Due to the threat of her father, who did not give her pocket money if Ayna did not go to college, Ayna was forced to attend the orientation period at the Blue Campus. Normal and controlled walking on the first and second days. Starting from the campus tour, namely the activities around the Blue Campus led by senior students to introduce the campus area, the means of academic activities and academic support such as sports facilities, libraries and worship facilities. Although there is nothing that interests Ayna at all, because the girl has already planted hate on this campus, the long-haired tanned girl still follows the activities one by one with discipline.

Ayna does not like to deal with problems especially when it comes to dealing directly with seniors who look like tigers who control the cage. One little maybe Ayna immediately became a highlight whose name will be remembered as long as he held the science at the Blue Campus. It mustn't taint its own name before it actually leaves this campus.

On the last day, Ayna and her group, consisting of different majors, are led into the basketball stadium. Ayna sat in the front seat near the guardrail. Ayna has no friends because every day her group is randomized. Just now that she knew one woman, Ayna had to let that person into another group the next day. Ayna has not found a friend who majors with her.

After the atmosphere in the stadium began to be crowded, Chairman of BEM named Andy also opened a student stage event that was filled with performances from each Student Activity Unit (SME). A mandatory ritual for SMEs to attract new students to register as members. A warm welcome and a standing ovation accompanied the change of each SME representative except from Ayna who just continued to put on a flat face. In his brain, he only thought about how he could get out of this campus before the lecture began.

Ayna could not resist sleepiness when the Programmer Student Association arrived or abbreviated Himapro began to explain about the mission vision of his organization. Unlike the previous activities that performed with totality, especially in the field of arts and sports, this organization seemed not passionate when explaining the program of its activities. Even many new students who do not listen to the chairman talk and are even engrossed in chatting. Only a few people are still listening. Not because of interest, but because of pity.

The fifteen minutes given felt longer when Himapro who filled the stage in the middle of the basketball room. The atmosphere of the stadium began to get out of control as the chatter was increasingly shown openly until BEM members came to order each group. And when it happened, one loud shrieking sound from the stadium bench that automatically pulled all pairs of eyes towards him, including Ayna who tried to squint at who did it. "Boring! I can perform better than you!" exclaiming the black guy with pride continued tos with other new students who support his actions.

Ayna stared in disbelief at the guy right opposite her. Find dead, Inner Ayna. Is that guy not aware of how seniority that Blue Campus senior has shown over these three days? They easily jerk when new students are not orderly for a moment and they do not see gender to punish. Ayna so remembered there was one woman with glasses who was late and she had to walk squatting from the front gate to enter the building area that was far too outrageous.

Ayna sees the guy being dragged down by Himapro members who feel his pride is hurt. A standing ovation then rumbled to welcome the boy on a stage filled only with tables, laptops, projector screens and three Himapro members. Seemed to be fighting over there until the microphone is handed to the guy in black so that only the crest is visible from his jet black hair.

The pale-white man cleared his throat awkwardly in front of the mic inviting laughter throughout the stadium. He looked like a kitten trapped in a lion's den. His views were on all the new students. Either he was observing the situation or trying to find strength. A big smile appeared on his face. Fade was already a daunted look that had enveloped. The guy stretches his neck muscles every now and then as if he were at a regular gathering. Whereas on his right and left side, Himapro members had already cast gazes that seemed as if they were going to eat the guy alive.

"My name is Zayn Abhicandra. New Students majoring in Informatics Engineering."

The stadium began to whisper about Zayn, not least Ayna who gulped to hear the same direction as him. Most likely, she'll be one class with that guy. Ayna felt she had to prepare that her major might be famous throughout the campus.

"I felt hurt to see the set of students I wanted to follow-" Zayn's eyes now glanced at Himapro's head Gilang, who was hardening his jaw. Gilang felt Zayn had just mocked him right in the face. Zayn smiled at him before he looked back at the new students. "–it is looked upon one eye by all of you."

"Hackers!" one of the new students.

Zayn also snapped his fingers while smiling widely. "Rubber! Wouldn't that be awesome if we could be hackers? We can hack any web and even retrieve important data without having to get out of the chair?" zayn said in a calm tone that hypnotized everyone to listen. "Being a hacker also crossed my mind as soon as I heard the word programmer. And, rather than me explaining the rambling vision of an organization's mission that's definitely boring to hear, I'd rather show how great a programmer is."

Hearing Zayn's words, Gilang immediately turned his back. He ordered his members to pull Zayn off the stage. What happens if Himapro who carries the vision of making students dedicated through information systems instead teaches how to become a hacker? There was a contradiction that he could not allow.

Two Himapro members began to approach Zayn who was busy fiddling with laptops at high speed. Even the audience was amazed by Zayn's finger movements and was unable to follow any steps Zayn took to hack the campus website. Two members on Zayn's left-right side tried to drag Zayn. But the man insisted on defending himself to complete his hacking action.

At the last second, Zayn was pulled by two members along with a black screen that suddenly filled the projector screen. All eyes looked at the wonder of what Zayn had just done on the campus website. Shortly thereafter, the campus website page featured a video in which Gilang dressed as a woman was walking down the middle of the room with Himapro's son.

Gilang dropped jaws along with laughter that filled the stadium. Including Ayna who shut her mouth and laugh as her eyes round in disbelief. He could not hold his stomach tingled to see the Himapro Chief dressed in such a way. Ayna's head did not stop shaking in amazement at Zayn who successfully humiliated Chairman Himapro. New students are racing to prove whether the website was really hacked by opening it on their respective phones. And sure enough, Zayn successfully hacked their campus website.

Zayn laughed satisfied. He didn't care about the plotting of the two members who were holding Zayn. The guy took the origin of the video he found on Gilang's laptop. He accidentally took it, but he knew the reason he could not make a defense for him who had humiliated Gilang.

Gilang instructed the members through eye gazes to restrain Zayn. His sharp highlight was so obvious that he would give Zayn a lesson. Quickly, it moved on to take over the laptop. Even a pause was ejected once the keyboard could not function. Damn, Zayn had time to turn off the keyboard and keypad functions on Gilang's laptop. The projector cable he immediately unplugged from the laptop which was greeted by mocking cheers from new students. However, he did not care because the most important thing right now was that he had to maintain his pride.

The video is a disgrace video Gilang forgot Gilang delete. He was playing with Himapro's children and getting punished had to be dressed up as a woman. If anyone understood the story behind it, perhaps they would laugh at Himapro's son's silliness, but if it was displayed without clarity? Perhaps, they would all brand Gilang a man not whole.

The atmosphere of the stadium was increasingly violent especially when Himapro members began to play physically by pushing shoulders up to Zayn's head. Zayn attempted to break away when the BEM members came to mediate. An argument ensued between two camps who disliked Zayn's actions and who wanted to protect the man from violence. A fight broke out that ignited the flames of the two camps. Zayn tried to break away from the circle that began to jotos. He crawled out of the crowd that began to graze around the stage.

Ayna clucked to see the state of the stadium so it is not conducive. If so, he is lazy to interfere. Ayna also planned to get out of the basketball stadium. When he stood up, his eyes caught Zayn's movement from the basketball court, which immediately threw a black skull at him. "Catch her!" exclaim that guy. Due to reflexes, Ayna caught the black skull with a questionable look. However, Zayn only showed a smile that looked like a grin. Just for a moment, before the grin faded away because there was a senior who was about to catch it. The guy also ran out laughing followed by several seniors.

Ayna looked down, looking at the black skull in her hand. His heart immediately beat as if he had made a mistake. He felt that something bad would happen to him in a moment. Because of her instinct, Ayna was about to throw the black skull. However, I had not had the chance to get out of his hands, a call from someone, whom he believed to be from the Blue Campus senior, instructed him to stop. "Hey, you're his friend, huh?" said the BEM hat woman who was looking at him fiercely.

Unable to answer, Ayna's left right side was immediately ambushed. With resignation, Ayna also followed where these two female BEM members herded her like a big-time criminal. The look of disbelief from the freshman just turned from Zayn to Ayna because he saw the black skull that was previously used by the hacker was now moved into his hands. Ayna's blood was boiling with steam that seemed to have been billowing through her head. Fucking zayn! rutuk Ayna in heart. Back to the grin that the guy showed. A few seconds later, Ayna fell apart. The grin ... Ayna remembered.
