Rotting 

Chapter 88: Rotting

Ysa can't believe her eyes when she saw the lights were open and that there are sound coming from the speakers. It was as if she is in the past where she would run here in the basement after an argument with Ian or if literally anything happened to her.

Tears just flowed from the overwhelming feelings that enveloped her. It is the warm feeling of nostalgia and became an assurance that everything will be okay.

At that moment the swivel chair turned and revealed Mia sitting there.

Just like the old times.

"What is this" that was the only thing that Ysa could say. She is beyond speechless.

"I'll tell you when I'm done" then Mia turned again to her computer and started working. Ysa know better that to interfere with Mia's decision.

Whatever it is that made her comeback here is definitely with connection to what happened between her and Terrence last night.

"You have to" then Ysa left the basement and let Mia do what she needs to do.

-----

After leaving Mia alone, she went straight to Maurice's studio and starts talking.

"I can't comprehend a thing you're saying" then Maurice let a chuckled then Ysa just plop down to the sofa in defeat.

"I just can't believe it at the same time I am happy that Mia is finally back to using her original studio but at the same time I am feeling something is going to happen," she then again stood up and walked in pace back and forth "I just don't know if it will be good or bad".

It is actually true.

With Mia's decision making, she always makes a move whenever she reaches a conclusion that it will be for the benefit of all including herself, but by the time that she ran out of options she always goes for self-destruction.

"Just like always, let her be, It is for Mia to figure out whether that decision is good or not and as long as we all respect whatever it is that would be the best for all" Maurice then sighed at Ysa and tried to continue her work.

"But we all know her, especially in her condition right now she might just do something reckless"

"She knows what she wants and what will be the right decision for her, it up to us if we are going to accept it or not. I suggest that we just wait and trust her."

Maurice then stood up and shuffled Ysa's already messy hair.

"This kid." Then she also sat down in the sofa "Look at me, Ysa"

Right then Ysa face Maurice with a pout in her face.

"It will not be like before okay?" then she held Ysa's hands.

"Mia needed this more than anyone of you, she wasn't able to take even one step away from everything, she isn't moving on nor healing Ysa."

Ysa's eyes grew bigger at the realization.

Nobody even noticed what is really happening.

For the past 4 years, they just thought that everything is now okay, that everybody had move on one way or another.

"Mia kept everything and pretended okay despite what she's feeling inside, never once she tried to resolve anything. She rotting and finally she's starting to realize it herself."
