0.02 - Maya's Resolve
Maya finally felt refreshed. She felt complicated at first but only relief remained in the end.
She was happy. And she wanted to thank the person who helped her make it through her problem.
Maya has entered the Chatroom.
Ella drowsily raised her head from her desk and looked at her phone screen. 'It must be Adam.' She grumped.
But her fatigue flew away when she saw the name.
Ella
Hello Maya. 😊 How are you?
Maya
I'm feeling happy. and content right now.
Maya smiled and nodded at her own reply. 'In fact I feel more relieved than happy. But nonetheless, I am happy.'
Ella excitedly typed and giggled. 'Thank goodness.' She thought. I thought I made her more miserable or something.
Ella
So how was it with that person?
Maya was shocked at first. But she chuckled in the end due to the silly straight forwardness of the Admin.
Maya
I drew a very clear line in our relationship and treated him as nothing more than a kind professor of mine
Maya
It was hard and awkward at first. But overtime, everything became normal and bearable for me.
Maya
Nowadays, I spend my days relieved.
Ella looked at her chats that seem to imply that her heartbreak was years ago instead of more than two weeks ago.
Ella thought of Adam's previous opinion of the matter and inwardly lit a candle for the guy. 'Dear Stranger, I'm sorry!'
Maya
But nowadays, he's acting weird.
Maya
In fact he became really weird.
Ella
In what way was he weird.
Maya
He's oddly being too close and is asking why I am not acting like before.
Maya
And I asked what about before? I asked about how he thinks I act before. He obviously wanted to say something but decided no to.
Maya
He's acting really weird. And we encounter each other way too many times nowadays.
Maya
I've been trying to avoid him a lot. But the more I avoid him, the more coincidences happen around us. Like we always accidentally or coincidentally meet up or end up together.
Maya
Everything is weird right now. But at the very least I'm happy and content. I will focus on my studies before I involve myself with things like romance. 😊
She thought of her old conversation with Adam. If what she thinks is what Adam meant by his words, the instructor really liked Maya.
But if he likes her, why did he have to publicly be close to anyone?
Ella
How does he act around you nowadays.
Maya thought for a moment.
Maya
Just as attentive as before.
Ella
By saying attentive, how attentive is he to you?
Ella crossed her fingers and prayed she was wrong.
Maya
He calls and texts often to ask about my studies and well-being.
Maya
He often calls out to me after class lectures to talk about stuff and confirm my thesis. I tried to focus our conversation on formal or official matters so I'll be fine.
Ella was frozen in shock.
Maya thought back on everything that happened these weeks that have passed by.
Sir had always been gentle and kind to everyone. But this time he really acted way too overboard. He's way too good to me. So good that many people have pointed it out.
Maya
He's acting weird. But that's not exactly weird though. I'm his only advisee so it's normal for him to be attentive and concerned.
Maya
Also, he's taken. I've confirmed it with my own eyes. The beautiful woman even came to school to visit him
Maya
She was pretty and nice. She's also easy to talk to and she's a competent salarywoman.
Maya
She's everything I aspire to become. It's not weird that he likes women like her. Mature, beautiful, and everything a good and competent woman should be.
Ella frowned at what she read. 'This is weird.' She thought. She agrees with how Maya sees everything. And the other woman is obviously good.
But she can't help but also think of what Adam's previous words implied. The guy likes Maya.
Ella
Have seen them together after the first time you did when they were intimate.
Maya thought back on the moment that made her resolve more solid.
Maya
I saw them kissing in a hidden part of the school parking lot while throwing out trash. They were so close.
'I ran away in a pathetic state after seeing that.' Maya thought with a bitter smile.
Maya
It hurts but I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about something too much. At least I was given a nudge to quit before it was too late for me.
Maya
It still hurts. But it's not yet too late for me to turn back. And even if in my darkest dreams, he says he likes me back...
Maya
I've decided to focus on my studies and my dreams first. I've decided to focus on myself before I invest in loving others.
Ella stared at her words. She sighed and smiled. She set the hopeless aside deeming him unimportant.
Ella
I'm happy that you've made up your mind. 😊
Ella
Now that you're doing fine, I'm sure ahead of you is a beautiful and flowery path.
Maya stared at the Admin's surprising eloquence.
Maya
Thank you. It's all thanks to you.
Ella
Even though I barely said anything helpful? 😂
Maya
For an introvert like myself, your presence alone is a gift.
Maya
Thank you for making this Chatroom. And for posting about it online.
Ella was reminded of this fact. Her Chatroom rarely had any visitors because it's not well-known. She also set the 'Anyone can Join' setting to ensure she won't miss anyone interested to talk.
Ella
That reminds me, how did you find out about this Chatroom?
Maya tried to remember. But the only thing she remembers is that she accidentally saw it online when she needed someone to talk to the most.
Maya
Just online. I can't really remember now. But I saw it online alongside a bunch of nothings.
Ella
Thank you for making my time worthwhile Maya.
Ella
If you still need someone to in the future, I'll always welcome you.
Maya smiled when she saw the Admin's message.
Maya
Thank you. Without you, I would've had a harder time dealing with my issues.
Maya
I guess this is the cue for saying goodbye? 😂
Maya
Ms. Ella, I hope I meet you in person one day to thank you.
Ella smiled and looked at the stash of papers filled with codes and numbers. 'I hope so too.'
Ella
May we meet one day on a gorgeous day. 😊 Thank you for visiting Maya. Jiayou! 💪
Maya
Thank you Ms. Ella. I hope we meet in person one day. 😊
Maya has left the Chatroom.

My instinct says that guy is no good for Maya . Or is he a Playboy ? Or he knew that Maya was there so he did that to make her jealous ... It is making me confused all of a sudden ... But I love how Maya moved on even the one sided love hurts for her ...
