Zayn's action challenged seniors when the student stage activities immediately became a hot spotlight as soon as entering the first day of college. Many elder brothers deliberately passed through the engineering department building only to see firsthand who the perpetrator who dared to humiliate Gilang, Chairman Himapro. Awe, insinuating speech, or even rude words sometimes ejected from the lips of the upperclassmen. The Department of Informatics Engineering is suddenly famous. Ayna, who basically hates the spotlight, must tightly cover her face when going in and out of the building. Because after the incident Iluk thrown it, every name Zayn mentioned, then automatically the name Ayna was dragged along with him.

"She's the girl who was together with Zayn who was in the same lecturer, right?" ask the curly-haired chick to the other girl next to her. Ayna who just entered the classroom tried to ignore their gazes and chose to sit in the front seat.

"Yes, Ranya. I just found out that he was one of our majors," replied the girl beside Ranya who sat on the middle row bench.

"Ah, it turns out my rival's a guy like him anyway. No problem is still prettier me, isn't it Via?" said Ranya who was greeted by a nod from Via.

Kayak her? Ayna tightened her jaw trying to swallow back the swearing that almost escaped her lips. Already wrongly majored, it seems he also had to deal with an immature girl his wits. Already entered the college level but his thoughts were so childish as if Zayn was his. Since when can a man belong to someone just because he likes him? Ayna smiled miris. May he never deal with Ranya and Via.

First semester Informatics Engineering students who were the majority of men began to arrive. The number of women in this class is only 9 out of 25 students.

When Zayn entered the classroom, he immediately looked at Ayna. Zayn waved his hand as he looked as if to say, 'Hi, we'll see you again, right?' Yang Ayna countered the round of eyeballs. Zayn chuckled in response.

"Hey, bro! I'm Gio. Lo Zayn, right? Just sit here!" bargain Gio on Zayn. Zayn nodded and greeted the man and sat down next to him. As soon as Zayn kept his bag on the table, Gio and some of the class, who were already sitting sweetly, painstakingly endured the laughter.

Zayn frowned in surprise as he lifted his bag. Zayn's eyes were rounded as the adhesive glue stuck to the rest of his bag. Gio let out a laugh and reached out to Zayn to shake hands. "Just kidding's. Life isn't taken seriously, is it?" kekehnya while thrusting a bottle filled with liquid. "Now, I brought the nonstick liquid." Zayn gaped but laughed after he threw a small fist into Gio's stomach.

Ayna who noticed, immediately shook her head. Why is there also a jailhouse like Gio in his class? The joke is not funny at all. Ayna grimacing. It is getting more complicated life on campus. Ayna looked up and found the girl who had just entered the class.

The woman with bangs and round cheeks seemed confused to choose a chair that began to be full. Ayna was about to raise her hand to offer an empty seat beside her, but her actions were quickly defeated by a voice that suddenly interrupted from the seat behind Ayna. "Sit down here!" cetus Gio pointed to the bench beside Ayna.

Mira nodded following the offer of the man. Ayna feels something is wrong because Gio offers. He also looked back where the giggling Gio had prepared a sachet sauce whose packaging was open. Ayna looked up, she turned to Mira who was ready to sit down. "Hey, don't sit in-" Too late, Mira has occupied the sauce that Gio quickly put there all of a sudden.

Gio and a few other students laughed as Mira felt something seeping in her pants. Mira stood up and gaped as soon as she saw the red viscous liquid partially spread on the surface of the chair and stuck to her pants. He looked at Gio in disbelief. "You?"

"Welcome to class. That's welcome from me." Gio immediately grabbed Mira's hand to shake hands. "Gue Gio's. Lo who?"

Ayna clenched her feet and stood up. This is too late. "It's important that you ask her name after you jailin' her?" Gio flinched, but did not feel intimidated. His smile even widened to form a grin. Ayna let out a sigh and turned to Mira. The girl's eyes began to condense. "Come, let's go to the bathroom first." Ayna also leads Mira who seems to be crying soon. Mocking calls accompanied their departure.

In his chair, two of Zayn's eyebrows clung together. He did not expect Ayna to be able to act heroically like that. He thought, Ayna is just a spoiled girl whose wishes must be obeyed. What he had just seen made Zayn smile meaningfully.

While driving Mira, Ayna met the girl. Ayna also took off her white sweater to cover the dirty parts of Mira's pants that had been washed in water. Mira started sobbing in shock of getting the treatment of not wearing so set foot in class. "He's just a prank, Mir. Don't take it heart."

Mira covered her face, holding back the cries. "But that's overkill, Ayna. Am I wrong what the hell is he shy about me like gini?" Ayna shakes. He also did not understand what Gio's actions meant. Because it's not just Mira who got his prank action.

Ayna and Mira return to class. They follow the lesson properly and several times talk about something. They grow closer with time. Debt tied their friendship.

When the course was over, Ayna who was busy tidying her luggage into a bag was startled with a piece of paper that was suddenly stored on her desk. Ayna looked up and she found Zayn smiling at her. "I'm first, Antivirus."

Ayna frowned in surprise when Mira suddenly tightened her body with Ayna. "whatwhat? Zayn said what?"

"I don't know either." The girl turned over the paper Zayn gave her and dropped her jaw as soon as she read it. Mira was in disbelief.

The process of Ayna loving Zayn is loading.

Day after day passed, but Ayna still felt uncomfortable for college. His mind kept twisting the shadow of what if he was studying in a management major instead of in an informatics engineering class, surely Ayna would be more comfortable and receptive to his lessons. He had to quickly get out of this campus before all private campus applications were closed.

Ayna is unyielding trying to persuade her father to move to college now or better Ayna quit and take the exam next year, but her father defies hard and asks Ayna to live it sincerely. Faza does not know how the days on campus became the darkest day for Ayna.

“Hai, Antivirus!” greet Zayn who is now sitting at Ayna's desk after the lecturer left the class. Ayna clucked and turned the eyeballs indifferently. Don't give me the stage, Ayna. Later he will be pleased, inward Ayna while cleaning her stationery.

Mira, who was sitting next to the girl, nudged Ayna on the shoulder. He tried to get Ayna to look at Zayn who was staring at the girl. “Prince you came again tuh,” sneer Mira who immediately got a plot of sebal from Ayna. Even his classmates were not surprised if Zayn suddenly approached Ayna.

“There are people who are afraid to get dicuekin?” Zayn sneered and then patted the top of Ayna's head which the girl immediately patted with a slash. “Udah breakfast yet, Antivirus?” zayn asked showing off his white teeth.

Ayna clucking. He looked at Zayn holding back his wrath. “I'm not an antivirus!” the rebuttal made the guy who was happy to wear the black skull chuckle.

“You have made me sick with a longing virus and you are the only antiviral, Ayna,”, said Zayn followed by a lawyer and a stifled screeches from the class who witnessed this.

Ayna clenched her hands tightly as Mira laughed with the others. Ayna also ducked when she saw Ranya who gaped in disbelief. Ranya looked fanned herself who felt stifling at the sight of Zayn and Ayna. He takes Via out of the classroom as Ayna tightens her jaw, holding her back. Just blame Zayn if Ranya is his enemy in class.

Pras, the big-eyed and golden-yellow-haired man approached Zayn and grabbed the boy by the shoulder. “Makin kenceng aja gas, Zayn,” godanya.

Zayn. His eyes did not turn from Ayna for a second. He was looking for something there. His attention. “If you do not date, you will get ticked,” his mouth is greeted with laughter. Including from Pras who immediately curled the head of Zayn geregetan.

“Most can yes lo,” Pras said while releasing Zayn. Pras looked at Ayna who appeared to have two horns in her chair. The girl rolled her eyes completely uninterested in the conversation of the two guys in front of her. “Until when you sell expensive, Ay? You are not interested in dating this hacker?”

Ayna snorts, “Dating? You are dating her! I'm ogah.” Ayna immediately stood up while holding Mira. He walked past Zayn waving his hands as if there were no sins he had just committed. Ayna snapped a step, as if the floor she was on was Zayn Abhicandra.

Zayn chuckled as Ayna and Mira disappeared from his sight. However, it did not last long when one voice called out to him from outside the classroom.

"Zayn, you're called Gilang" said Nino flat as she raised her sagging glasses.

Pras turned to Zayn who sighed. He knew he would not be released easily.

***

Ayna muttered all the way to the canteen. Zayn's face and his terrible trembling were still ringing in his head. Now, not only does persuading father become an obstacle, but Ayna has to deal directly with the annoying Zayn. His college is getting worse every day not getting better.

“You face do not bend mulu dong, Ay,” said Mira when they set foot in the canteen area. “Then know how tangled like a shirt has not been ironed.”

Ayna let out a rough breath. “I'm not kidding anymore, Mir!” concluded. “What sins did I have to deal with Zayn the troublemaker? He's the most astral creature knows?”

Ayna and Mira sit on the bench after ordering chicken noodles to prop up the stomach. The lecture is still two hours away. They can relax in the cafeteria for longer.

Mira laughs. “It looks like you're the only one who thinks he's an astral being.” The chin-backed Mira began to imagine Zayn's figure. “He's a handsome guy, white, cool, really brave again. So handsome I think he is a nyamar bidadara,” cetus Mira with adoring highlight, making Ayna shudder disgusted.

“Fix, you are crazy, Mir!” ayna's toilet was greeted by Mira's naughtiness.

“You are crazy, Ayna. Guys as good and as handsome as Zayn you cuekin. Watch out later miesel,” said Mira to Ayna who became silent.

Chicken was served in front of them. Mira immediately ate the chicken noodles greedily. The girl said her hobby was eating. While Ayna, just stirring the noodles without taking any interest. His tongue was bitter and the chicken noodles in front of him were unattractive. His mind floated thinking of Mira's words. A nysel? Not yes! ayna's mind is slouching.
