"INDECISIVE LOVE ", EPISODE 6
Anita couldn't contain her curiosity. She wanted to know every detail of Maxwell's experiences with his two ex-girlfriends.
Maxwell begun, "My first girlfriend and I started dating when we were in JSS2, and we were deeply in love with each other. Almost all our family members knew we were dating."
But the story took a turn when she left during SSS1, relocating to a more developed area. Despite the distance, they made a promise never to cheat on each other. Maxwell's love for her and his commitment to that promise meant he couldn't entertain thoughts of infidelity. He withstood teasing from his classmates who didn't understand his strong devotion.
Then, on December 30th, during Christmas, she surprised him by showing up unannounced at his place with her best friend. She claimed that her phone had fallen and was damaged on her way to his house. Maxwell was not at home when she arrived, but his mother and siblings were there. His mother informed him of her visit, and he rushed home with his friend Kennedy .
Upon his return, she introduced him to her best friend and explained the incident with her phone. Maxwell, out of love, promised to fix the phone for her. The next day, she expressed her need to call her mother and, without hesitation, he lent her his phone, allowing her to use his SIM card to make the call. This selfless act left Maxwell temporarily phoneless.
But when she was about to leave, Kennedy asked if he could borrow the phone to capture a video. Unknown to Maxwell, Kennedy secretly turned on the call recorder to record any conversations she had. Maxwell then took her damaged phone to a repairman, using money he had intended for his new year clothes to cover the repair.
On New Year's Day, Maxwell saw her with a strange guy. When he asked her about him, she explained that he was her best friend's brother. Trusting her implicitly, Maxwell ignored his friend Kennedy 's suspicions and arguments. This misplaced trust led him to wear his old clothes that day since he had spent all his money on repairing her phone.
Unknown to Maxwell, she spent a night with the guy in a guest house. Two days later, he successfully repaired her phone, but she didn't show any appreciation. She returned his phone, and Kennedy was tasked with charging it. A few hours later, Kennedy returned with a shocking revelation.
Kennedy, "Maxwell, I told you that guy is your babe's boyfriend."
Maxwell: "How did you know?"
Kennedy then played a recording of the conversation between Maxwell's girlfriend and the guy she secretly communicate with.
(Their secret conversations as follows....)
Maxwell's girlfriend: "Hello, babe, it's your girlfriend, Anita."
The guy: "Okay, where did you get the phone from? Your phone was damaged a week ago. Have you fixed it?"
Maxwell's girlfriend: "I got this phone from a guy in my area."
The guy: "Who is the guy to you?"
Maxwell's girlfriend: "He is just my grandparents' neighbor, nothing more."
The guy: "Okay, when I come to your area, I will spend a night there, I hope you know?"
Maxwell's girlfriend: "Pretty sure. That was our agreement. I can't wait to see you. It's only been a day since I left you, and I'm already missing you like crazy."
The guy: "Don't worry, you will see me soon."
Maxwell's girlfriend: "Please come on time."
The guy: "I won't hesitate."
Maxwell's girlfriend: "I love you, baby."
The guy: "Thanks."
Maxwell's girlfriend: "You've started again. I told you that I love you, and you just responded with 'Thanks.'"
The guy: "But there's nothing wrong with that. Goodnight. Go and give the phone back to the owner and he ended the call."
(Kennedy said to Maxwell...)
Kennedy : "Even the guy doesn't love the girl. I told you she's cheating on you, but you doubted me. She collected your phone and used it to call her boyfriend, and she didn't call her mum even once."
Maxwell was stunned, unable to find words to respond. Kennedy suggested confronting her, but Maxwell chose not to reveal that he was aware of her betrayal, at least not at that moment.
A few months later, Maxwell gained admission to a higher institution. After a year of studying away, he concocted a plan. He invited his ex-girlfriend to his school, with her friend in town. Anita couldn't contain her shock.
Anita: "Chai!! ... She's very heartless. But what did you do to her?"
Maxwell hesitated, reflecting on his past experiences and the decisions that led him to this point.
