Confessions of a judgmental coed: Stop!

"It's time to stop Maika! It's time to stop"

Those were his last words before he boarded the plane to Cebu. It's 5 o'clock in the morning, and here she stands waving at him, calling out a few more 'bilins of pasalubongs' when out of the blue he shouted out those words.

That caught Maika by surprise. Where did those came from? She smiled, shook her head and attempted to shout back a retort, but she caught a hold of herself. It would be utterly emabarassing for her if she do that.

What Maika just did was texted Riley her answer to his parting words.

"I've been trying to do that for years now. Before, I was getting nowhere. But now, somehow I am moving on. Yes, I've stopped and moved on"

All the only reply she got was

"=D"

And somehow she feels a lot better now. These past few days, she's been feeling down, wretched, and every damn thing you can think of. But now, she feels good, happy, elated and every nice thing there is.
