viridinaaliya: We saw the news

chanelverene: Tell us if you want us to fight bitches on Twitter.

kevinvilliar: I'm with you, Chanel!

mariazarian: Grabe naman ang media, "the Belmonte's only heiress didn't get the front cover. Is she the true heir?"

mikaelanathalie: Issue na lang ba talaga ang bumubuhay sa internet?

I sighed after looking at my friend's messages on Instagram. I've been getting severe headaches since that day happened. Ang gusto ko lang gawin ngayon ay matulog. Pakiramdam ko ay bigla na lang ako mahihimatay kung sunod-sunod na namang darating ang mga problema.

Binuksan ko ulit ang phone ko para mag-reply sa gc namin. I didn't want them to worry too much because they also have personal problems and I don't want to be a burden. They have done so many things for me these past few years. Tama na 'yon.

verainemaureen: I saw Viya's brother.

verainemaureen: It's not Nico, by the way. Don't get your hopes up, Zari.

mariazarian: Wala naman akong sinasabi???

viridianaaliya: You mean Nate?

chanelverena: Akala ko ba naka-move on ka na sa satanas na 'yun?

mikaelanathalie: Hindi uso sa kanya ang salitang move on.

It seems like messaging them about that guy is a wrong move. They'll make things worse for me. I don't want to dwell too much on our encounter a few days ago. I'm sure we won't cross paths again. And he seems good now, so I can finally be great.

Pwede na akong huminga ng maayos.

After so many years... finally.

I can finally say that it doesn't hurt as bad as before. Even the sight of Satan pains me way back. I almost forgot what my life looked like before I met him.

Mina and Kev were right when they told me all the things you shared with the people you loved will always make you remember them. It will always remember how happy you were doing those things, but it will, unfortunately, turn into sad memories.

Basta ang mahalaga nangyari at naging masaya.

"Dito na lang po, Kuya Leo," I said, pointing to the old resthouse we have in Subic. I didn't stay here; instead, I picked our resthouse near Mount Arayat. Subic will always remind me of how many memories I had with him.

"Ma'am, kailangan ko pong pumunta muna sa kabilang resthouse. Kailangan daw po nila ng magbubuhat doon," paalam ni Kuya Leo.

I nodded at him. Our new resthouse in Arayat is currently under construction, so I had to move back here as much as I hate it.

Tumunog ang phone ko habang nag-aayos ako ng gamit sa kwarto ko. The caller was Mina, so I immediately answered it. Mina barely call me because she prefer texting. This must be so important.

"Hey, what's up?" I said.

"Okay ka lang?" she asked.

I smiled. "I'm fine, really. I still have a part pa naman in the magazine, and I'm still starting. It's better to start at the bottom."

"But the media and reporters are so annoying. Pati si Viya kanina ay ginulo ng media! They found out that you're working there. Mabuti na lang at nandoon sina Kev para paalisin ang media," she rant.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "How did they find out I work there? God, I don't even tell people inside our agency that I'm a doctor."

"The media and the people around us have their own ways to know the truth. Hindi mabubuhay ang mga tao rito kung walang chismis," she said.
