Merlin's evil intentions

News of the arrival of James Arthur, CEO of Trotoarts Inc, at the University's graduation ceremony gained headlines in various media outlets. Headlines that mention the presence of James as the university's biggest donor in decades became news that attracted the attention of many people.

Merlin, who is one of the people who hates Maya, finds himself shocked and hates Maya even more after seeing the news. For Merlin, James' presence at the graduation ceremony is yet another proof that Maya is getting the attention and appreciation she shouldn't have.

Merlin feels unfair and jealous to see Maya continue to get positive attention. She questions why Maya could be the center of attention, while she herself feels ignored and disowned. The envy and hatred in her grew stronger, and she became obsessed with making Maya feel the same way she did.

However, not everyone responded to this news with the same attitude as Merlin. Many people saw James' presence as a tribute and encouragement to Maya. They acknowledge Maya's accomplishments and hope that the opportunity presented by James can open the door to greater success for her.

Meanwhile, Maya herself remains focused on her career. He realized that not everyone would always support him, and he could not control how others responded to his success. What is important for him is to take advantage of the opportunities and experiences he has gained to grow and develop.

Perhaps the time and effort that Maya devoted to living at Trotoarts Inc will open new doors in her life. He hopes to prove to himself and those around him that success does not depend on what others think or say about him.

On the way to success, Maya sticks to her principles, maintains integrity, and focuses on the goals to be achieved. Although Merlin may still hate her, Maya does not let that hinder her steps. He is committed to moving forward and achieving bigger dreams.

Merlin, burned by the flames of jealousy and hatred, decides to look for ways to scuttle Maya. He wants to destroy Maya's reputation and success in order to be satisfied with her grief and failure. She was sure there was no way Maya could become a student with the cum laude predicate there must be something else that had not been exposed.

Merlin tries to take advantage of every opportunity to spread slander and negative rumors about Maya to some friends and lecturers on the virtual campus. He seeks out Maya's weaknesses and uses that information to damage her image. Not only that, he also tries to isolate Maya from her friends by creating conflict and intrigue between them.

“Hey, do you know about Maya? I heard he must be doing inappropriate things behind the scenes. We lived together from childhood how I did not know the bad nature of it.” He said he started spreading the virus

“Seriously? What do you mean?” The student replied curious.

“Well I was not always with him at this time, but according to reliable sources, he cheated with a lecturer and used him to get higher grades.”

“Really? I've never heard of such a thing before.”

At the campus he tried to give info to one of his lecturers “Pak, you know Amaya Thamrin is smart? But I heard that he was having an affair with one of his lecturers, and I knew exactly what kind of person he was from a long time ago. We have been friends since we were kids.” Evidently

“Serious you? Do you have any more evidence or information about this? The teacher replied that he did not want to believe it immediately.

“Unfortunately he went to college on campus, and I have no physical evidence. This info came from his roommate in the dorm, I felt maybe he was hiding something.” Merlin's vibe adds spice.

On one of the reporters who was also a friend of the village to cover the news. And want that this gossip soon spread widely. “Judith, I think Maya is actually just chasing popularity. He doesn't care about us. You know, he was cheating with one of his supervisors to get the predicate.”

“How do you know that? Maya always works hard to achieve that, and everyone knows too, if you feel rivaled why not you who cheated on your lecturer to rival him.” Judith replied indifferently because she knew the extent of the brain capacity of merlin, a spoiled girl who was forced to go to college because of the presence of her parents.

“It was just pretend, believe me. He just wants to perform well in the eyes of others without actually doing it.”

Merlin goes to great lengths to make himself the center of attention by creating conflict and drama around Maya. He keeps looking for a way to take Maya down and destroy everything related to her. However, Maya remains steadfast and unaffected by Merlin's efforts. He remains focused on his purpose and integrity, not allowing such slander and hatred to interfere with his journey to success. But meeting Judith was the wrong choice, because as a journalist her resume was more competent than the apron info of Merlin who hated Maya so much. In addition, Judith Maya was connected to the CEO of Trotoarts, who would make such unimportant news as well as dig a hole themselves.

Merlin, increasingly obsessed with his evil intentions, decides to add Judith to his new enemy list. He sees Judith as a potential threat that could provide support to Maya, and he doesn't want anyone standing next to Maya.

Merlin sets out to find a way to exploit Judith's weaknesses and create a conflict between them. He spreads false rumors and creates a situation that provokes a negative reaction from Judith. He wants to see the opposition between Judith and Maya, and hopes it will disrupt their friendship.

Merlin is also trying to gain the support of others to antagonize Judith. He used some people's envy and jealousy towards Judith to create alliances that could influence public opinion towards Judith. He goes to great lengths to bring down Judith's reputation with slander and baseless gossip.

However, Merlin does not realize that his attempts to damage Maya's friendship with others are actually only damaging to himself. His cruelty and malicious intent are increasingly visible to others, while Maya remains steadfast and unaffected by all the slander and intrigue that Merlin unleashes.

In the end, Merlin's attempt to take down Maya and the people around her was unsuccessful this time and it made her even more frustrating to feel defeated. On the other hand the Maya remained strong and steadfast in the face of all such slander and intrigue. Meanwhile, Merlin continues to be caught up in a cycle of hate and evil he created himself. The karma he gains from his evil intentions will come, and he will learn from his mistakes that trying to ruin the lives of others will only damage himself.
