Uta & Alber [EN]
163. Mastermind

POV Author

"Do you remember the slander about us that spread in Z1 six years ago?" Uta looked fixed. Uta who clearly remembered all that then nodded.

"Ayleen was the mastermind of the fake news." Alber said the facts to Uta. The girl's eyes seemed rounded in shock.

"Ba ... How did Ayleen do it?" Tanya Uta couldn't believe it.

Flashback starts

The Alber POV

Six years ago ........

Post the rumors that spread in Z1 from unknown people. The children insulted Uta as they pleased. They did not insult both of our families. My blood was boiling reading some of those sadistic comments.

Instead of asking Babam for help, I chose another path. I immediately called Alex, my best friend in Bali to ask for help in finding the perpetrators of this fake news. The Alex that I know, is very much in control of a world like this. He even made friends with some good hackers.

"It seems a bit difficult. The culprit is not just anyone. It's possible that these are professionals, so it's getting harder. I'm still trying to help, but I'm eating a little." Alex said on the phone.

"Thanks bro's. Tell me if there's any news." Answer Alber.

The next day I almost got into a fight with the Z1 boy who insulted Uta directly in front of me. Good thing Seto and Edgar hurt me. Not until that, my heart was broken when Uta said she was reciprocated with Felix. I almost expressed my feelings for him.

I finally backed off as he requested. We no longer see each other. I can only see it from far away. I can neutralize the rumors with alternative hotel CCTV and car dashcam.

Ayleen who realized I was moving away from Uta, was getting closer and closer to me. He was even happier when people misunderstood us. The kids thought we were lovers. And Ayleen enjoyed the sloping issue.

I try to straighten out reality whenever I get a chance. But the rest I don't know. Sometimes people don't care about the facts. They just want to believe what they want to believe. Foolish times are right or not.

Day after day I passed without Uta. Until the Z1 arrived. I was stunned to see her so beautiful wearing a kebaya. Tucked a little regret, if only our relationship remains as good as it used to be.

I had my heart set, in case he came with Felix, but it didn't happen.

Far from the bottom of my heart, I would love to take her in a picture together. But I remember my promise to stay away from him.

Until Annem took the initiative to invite Uta and her family to take pictures together, making Uta unable to refuse.

My heart was pounding, as Annem put Uta standing next to me. It felt like this palm suddenly froze. I forgot how to breathe for a moment. Although we did not look at each other, but the pounding was clearly felt. Until Ayleen and his family came.

Ayleen's apes acted as he pleased. He put his hand on me. Honestly, I really don't like his behavior. But for some reason, I would love to know Uta's reaction if I saw her. Was I in the corner of his heart? But hope is hope. Uta seemed unaffected.

Ah ... I forgot, Felix is happy. Only Felix is in the end.

The sadness continued when I found out Uta and her family moved without a trace. His friends, Reta and Edgar also do not know about the move Uta. There's none of them I can contact. Even the house where Uta lived has changed the name of the owner. What the hell is going on?

I try to find it with the connections. Even for the first time in my life, I asked Babam for help. Nil. Their tracks are untraceable.

Until finally, I who originally intended to study at the campus that Uta entered, suddenly changed plans. I continued my studies in the United States. Losing Uta made me feel cramped in Indonesia. I chose to leave this country, so as not to fall deeper.

Day by day as a student. There's nothing special. I just focus, learn and learn. Until one day I accidentally met one of the students nicknamed the gods of hackers there.

It didn't take long, a week from that, he gave a stack of evidence that showed the perpetrator consisted of several people. Until one name arises that becomes the main mastermind. Ayleen's.

Yes Ayleen was the one who set it all up. He paid professional spies to spy on us. He also ordered us to take a photo, so that we could engineer a slanted news story.

Ayleen then paid a reliable black hacker with a big pay. Ayleen, who has lived in America for 10 years, easily asked one of his friends to find a paid hacker that is difficult to trace.

At its peak, one of Ayleen's friends in class 3 IPS-3 Z1, helped him by adding spice news hoax. He was the one who spread the issue of Uta using witch doctors, even selling themselves to attract my attention.

Then with a slick, Ayleen who is actually the mastermind behind the screen, plays a role as if he does not know anything. It was as if he washes his hands through those people. The beautiful game made many people believe, the culprit is not him. One of them is me.

I'm stupid to the point of not being suspicious of him. I just found out the woman's rottenness, a year after Uta's disappearance.

POV Author

"I didn't think Ayleen was that bad. Butwhy? What's the reason he's doing that?" Uta said in shock knowing this fact.

"Jealous. He's jealous, I'm close to you." Answer Alber.

"Why is he jealous? You even kissed that day." Spontaneous speech. Aware of his release, Uta then closed her mouth.

"Ohuk .. uhuk... " Alber who returned to drinking his coffee, once again choked severely.

"Ci ... kiss???"
